Solution Manager Content for Outbound Process with Cartonization Planning


Outbound Process with Cartonization Planning

You use this business process to send ordered goods to external customers. In this process, you send smaller quantities of different products to several customers using a single route. You pick the goods by waves into pick-handling units (pick-HUs) and consolidate them into shipping HUs. You then stage the shipping HUs and load them into a truck before posting the goods issue.

Cartonization planning is the improvement of the creation of shipping HUs based on information from product master data and outbound delivery orders. Cartonization planning results in the creation of planned shipping HUs that you can use as templates for creating shipping HUs during picking or packing.

In this process, you use cartonization planning to optimize the use of packaging materials and thus reduce the whitespace on the shippers’ truck. Cartonization planning provides you with information about volume, weight, and number of shipping HUs at an early point in time during the outbound process. You use this information to order transportation capacity for upcoming shipments and to repack the picked goods into shipping HUs at the packing station.

The following figures illustrate the correlation between the physical process and the manual or automatic activities in the system:

When the outbound delivery orders are created, the system automatically assigns the outbound delivery orders to the corresponding route. A shipping office clerk carries out cartonization planning to optimize the packaging of all delivery items that are to be sent to customers on the same route and which are planned to leave the yard at the same time. Using the results of cartonization planning, the shipping office clerk orders transportation capacity from the shipper. After the confirmation by the shipper, the shipping office clerk creates transportation units (TUs) and assigns them to the route and a door used for this route. With the automatic release of the waves, the warehouse activities begin. The system creates and prints warehouse orders (WOs), which are used as a work list for a paper-based picking. A warehouse worker takes the printout of a WO and prepares a pick-HU to be used for the picking of the products listed on the WO printout. The warehouse worker carries out the picking for one or several pick-HUs, and brings the goods to the packing station where they are consolidated and packed into shipping HUs such as medium boxes according to the former cartonization planning results. The packer attaches shipping labels to the completed shipping HUs. The shipping HUs are then moved to the staging area. For staging, radio frequency (RF) devices are used. When the truck arrives, it is checked in and directed to the door. The goods are loaded from the staging area into the truck. When the loading is complete, the shipping office clerk posts the goods issue (GI), prints the delivery notes and loading lists, and hands them over to the truck driver. The shipping office clerk checks out the truck and the truck leaves the door and the premises.

This process does not use the following function: Invoicing before goods issue to print pro forma invoices.

Prerequisites

Customer orders and outbound deliveries exist in SAP ERP.

For more information about the configuration prerequisites, see Configuration of Outbound Process with Cartonization Planning [Page 15].

Process

The business process runs in SAP EWM as follows:

1. Assign the outbound delivery orders to routes (EWM)

This step is carried out automatically when outbound delivery orders are created. The system assigns the outbound delivery orders to routes, which are determined based on the delivery dates and the route schedules.

If the system cannot find a route for an outbound delivery order (see the monitoring section below), a warehouse clerk needs to determine the cause of the failure (for example, missing master data due to a new route or a new ship-to party). Once the data is corrected by the warehouse clerk, he or she retriggers the route redetermination.

2. Create waves (EWM)

When outbound delivery orders are created, the system automatically assigns the outbound delivery orders to waves. The wave assignment is carried out based on the route and the activity area.

If the system cannot determine a wave for an outbound delivery (see the monitoring section below), a shipping office clerk has to check the log for the wave assignment and if necessary, make the necessary settings in the system. Afterwards, the shipping office clerk retriggers the wave assignment.

3. Carry out cartonization planning (EWM)

The shipping office clerk triggers cartonization planning for the outbound delivery order items that are to be shipped together for multiple customers at the next truck


departure time. The system creates planned shipping handling units (PSHUs) using an algorithm to minimize the number of HUs by finding the best fitting packaging materials considering volume and weight. To group the delivery items that could be packed together, the algorithm uses, for example, consolidation groups and activity areas.

4. Create a TU (EWM)

The shipping office clerk orders transportation capacity from the shipper for the routes. The shipper confirms the transportation capacity and the shipping office clerk receives an external identifier for each transport. For truck ordering, the shipping office clerk uses the optimized results of the cartonization planning (see the monitoring section below).

Once the transportation has been confirmed by the shipper, the shipping office clerk creates one TU for each route with the received identifier from the shipper and assigns each TU to the route and a door used for this route in the system.

5. Release the waves (EWM)

Upon the automatic wave release, the system creates warehouse tasks (WTs). The system joins the WTs together into warehouse orders (WOs) to optimize the working packages for the pickers. The WOs are used to pick the goods and move them to a packing station. Within one WO, the WTs are sorted according to specific criteria such as the pick path.

After the WO creation, the system automatically prints the WOs. The warehouse worker uses the printout of the WOs to pick the goods and to move them to the packing station. The printout is created at a printer next to the starting point for picking. The printout of the WO includes the WTs and information about packaging proposal, quantity, source data, and destination data.

6. Pick the goods (EWM)

In this step a warehouse worker picks the goods and brings them to the packing station.

The warehouse worker goes to the starting point for picking, takes the printout of the first WO and two preprinted HU identification tickets with the same unique external number. Based on the information on the printout, the warehouse worker then chooses the packaging material and sticks one of the HU labels to the HU, and the other one to the printout of the WO. He or she also chooses the equipment necessary for picking (for example, a vehicle).

The warehouse worker picks the goods according to the sequence given in the WTs within the WO. After all picks for a certain pick-HU are completed, he or she either processes the next WO and pick-HU, or brings the HUs to the packing station.

Once the equipment is empty and all pick-HUs are at the packing station, the warehouse worker brings the printout of the WOs with the fulfilled pick information and the attached pick-HU labels to the internal office to confirm the WOs in the system. He or she then goes back to the starting point of the activity area and processes the next WO.

The warehouse clerk finds the WO (from the printout) in the system. He or she creates the pick-HU in the system using the external identifier from the HU label on the printout and confirms the WO.

7. Pack the goods (EWM)


At the packing station, a warehouse worker packs the goods into shipping HUs (for example, small or medium boxes) according the PSHUs created in cartonization planning.

The packer takes a packaging material (for example, a medium box) proposed by the system, and creates a shipping HU according to the cartonization planning. He or she prints an HU identification label. He or she moves the goods from a pick-HU to the shipping HU. He or she scans the pick-HU, the product to be repacked, and the shipping HU. The system creates internally a WT for the movement of the product from the pick-HU to the shipping HU and confirms it immediately. When the packer scans additional products to be repacked into the same shipping HU, the system proposes the destination HU instead of the packaging material.

The empty pick-HU is deleted automatically upon the WT confirmation.

Once a shipping HU has been completely packed, it is weighed and an additional label is printed. It contains HU information such as the customer, route, weight, and volume. The packer confirms the completion of the shipping HU in the system. This triggers the creation of an HU WT to move the HU to the staging area.

8. Stage the goods (EWM)

In this step a warehouse worker moves the shipping HUs to a staging area. This step is carried out using an RF device.

The warehouse worker chooses the equipment necessary for the staging (for example, a vehicle and an RF device) and logs on as a resource. The worker picks a shipping HU from the packing station and scans its ID. The system automatically finds the open HU WT created upon completion of the shipping HU. The worker is prompted to bring the shipping HU to the staging area. There he or she drops the shipping HU and scans the staging bin, thus confirming the HU WT. He or she drives back to the packing station to proceed with the next shipping HU.

9. A truck arrives at the checkpoint and drives to the door (EWM)

When the truck arrives, a checkpoint clerk chooses the TU with the external identifier (a unique number assigned to the TU during creation). If the door assigned to the truck is not free yet, the truck must wait. Once the door is free, the checkpoint clerk advises the truck driver to drive to the assigned door. Assuming a small to medium sized yard, the checkpoint clerk confirms the arrival of the truck at the door. This step is necessary for the checkpoint clerk to see that the door is occupied.

For large yards it would be possible to have the arrival at the door confirmed by the shipping office clerk in a separate step. In this case the checkpoint clerk only confirms the arrival of the truck at the checkpoint.

10. Load the truck (EWM)

A warehouse worker begins with the loading from the staging area. This step is carried out using an RF device.

The warehouse worker chooses the equipment necessary for the loading (for example, a vehicle and an RF device) and logs on as a resource. The warehouse worker picks a shipping HU from the staging area and scans its ID. The warehouse worker loads the shipping HU onto the truck and scans the door bin. The system automatically creates a WT for loading the TU assigned to this door and confirms it in the same step. The warehouse worker proceeds with the next shipping HU until the staging area is empty. He or she then goes to the shipping office. The shipping office


clerk checks that all delivery items have been loaded onto the truck and confirms the completion of the loading.

11. Post the goods issue and print the delivery notes and loading lists (EWM)

The shipping office clerk posts the GI for the TU. This triggers the printing of the delivery note and the loading list for each delivery.

The shipping office clerk hands over the delivery notes and loading lists to the truck driver.

The goods issue is sent to SAP ERP where the billing can begin and an advanced shipping notification (ASN) can be sent to the customer.

12. The truck leaves (EWM)

The truck leaves the door and the premises. The shipping office clerk confirms the departure of the truck from the checkpoint and, therefore, from the door. This step is necessary for the checkpoint clerk to see that the door is free.

For large yards it would be possible to have the departure from the checkpoint confirmed separately by the checkpoint clerk.

Creating Packaging Specifications

You use this procedure to create packaging specifications used in cartonization planning to determine possible packaging materials.

In this process, we do not use auxiliary packaging materials in warehouse W001.

In this business process, you have to ship 3 EA of product PROD-C01 to your

customer. Cartonization planning is used to determine the optimal packaging material for the ordered item and for this the possible packaging materials are determined on the basis of packaging specifications. As a result, the system proposed to use a small

box for packing as the 3 EA are too big for packing them into a single extra small box.

The following table gives an overview of the determination procedure and condition type used in W001 for cartonization planning:

Procedure

1. On the SAP Easy Access screen for SCM Extended Warehouse Management,

choose Extended Warehouse Management Master Data Packaging

Specification Maintain Packaging Specification .

2. Create the packaging specifications for each packaging material (box) as described in the tables above and enter the level data. On the Determination tab of the packaging specification header, create the condition records used for the determination of the packaging specification in the business process.

You do not need to enter any weight, volume, or capacity data. They are filled automatically upon saving.


Creating Routes

You use this procedure to create the route used in this business process.

The route determination for outbound deliveries is based on the routing guide. The routing guide works with the following:

Location master data defined for the warehouse and for the customers

Business partner master data defined for the carriers

The route determination and scheduling is done in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). In this business process you define one route to transport the goods from the warehouse to three customers. The route contains two legs (from the warehouse through customer 1 and customer 2 to customer 3) and departs daily at a predefined time. The goods

are transported by truck by a carrier (CARR001).

Procedure

1. Create transportation lanes.

The transportation lanes are used in the process Outbound Process using Cartonization Planning with Wave, Pick-HUs, Packing, Staging and Loading to define the transportation distance, the transportation duration and the additional retention time between a start location (for example, warehouse) and a destination location (for example, customer) for a specific means of transport (for example, truck). This data is used in the scheduling within route determination.

The additional retention time is added to the transportation duration to calculate a realistic delivery date/time at the customer. For example, a carrier leaving the warehouse in the afternoon will not deliver the goods to the customer in the middle of the night but in the morning of the next day.

1. On the SAP Easy Access screen for Extended Warehouse Management,

choose Master Data Shipping and Receiving Route Determination

Transportation Lane .

2. Enter the following data and choose Create:

Model name: 000

Your start location: for example, PLPL01

Your destination location: for example, CUCUST-c01


3. Create an entry for the means of transport MTR2 as shown in the table below

and save the data.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all transportation lanes.

2. Create routes.

You define for two customers a route with two legs for means of transport MTR2

(truck).

1. On the SAP Easy Access screen for Extended Warehouse Management,

choose Master Data Shipping and Receiving Route Determination

Maintain Route .

2. Create the following entries as described in Creating Routes [External] (see in Configuration of Warehouse Structure and Master Data for SAP EWM [External]):
