EWM move same HU between warehouses

[StanislavDvorak1]

Hello,

There is a request to move the same HU between warehouses. Is this somehow possible? It seems that the standard process does not support this (i.e., standard STO: outbound delivery from one warehouse with HU A and inbound delivery into the second warehouse as HU B).

We would like to produce HU A in Warehouse A (Goods Receipt from production + putaway), move it to Warehouse B, and ship it from there. It should also be possible to move the HU from Warehouse A to Warehouse B, then potentially move it back to Warehouse A and ship it.
How can we achieve this?

I am considering the following solution - does it make sense?

• Produce goods in Warehouse A (Storage Location A).

• Transfer goods between warehouses using a manual STO (outbound delivery from Warehouse A, inbound delivery into Warehouse B).

• During inbound processing in Warehouse B, use a custom ZPPF action to pack the material into the same HU as in the outbound delivery.

  • Question: What about HU number intervals?
    I’m thinking of setting an internal number range for Warehouse A and configuring Warehouse B to accept that range as external. This might work, but what if we want to move the HU back to the original warehouse later?

• Sales Order with a shipping point linked to Warehouse A or B.
  Specific primary storage location used in the Sales Order, representing the ship-from warehouse (WHA or WHB).

• MRP planning logic: if the material is not available in the primary SLOC for the given warehouse, create an STO.

• Process the STO in the same way as the manual STO described above.

• Once all material is available, create a standard shipping delivery and ship.

Thank you

Standa

It is possible, and was already discussed several times

thank you, so I think my proposal is correct to use MRP / STO and internal / external range to achieve planning and same HU transport. Also is there easier solution for manual transfers between warehouses like based on the HU only? I already read some old discussion - only I found was request for HU transfer only and requestor was redirected to influence ticket, but maybe something changed already...

this is the standard way. STO -> Outbound delivery, Goods Issue (with HUs) -> Inbound delivery (Created by SPED, with HUs ) -> Goods Receipt. It could be not "easy" for the case, when you have no real physical movement (or Physical movement does not represent Goods Issue / Goods Receipt e.g. when Warehouse A and B are in the same building or something like this). In this case it can be done with development, how to develop depends on the process. If it is about initiate transfer from EWM you can try it with direct outbound delivery. I am not sure what are your concerns regarding standard process.
