Outbound with LOSC and POSC

[Kuldeep_Jaiswal]

Process Steps:

1. Create Sales Order / Stock Transfer Order
2. Create Delivery
3. Delivery gets distributed to EWM à Outbound delivery Order.
4. Create Transportation Unit à assign delivery to TU.
5. Create Warehouse Order
6. Move full pallet to drop area.
7. Move full pallet to ‘Picking / Packing Station.’
8. Pick required quantity.
9. Repack the quantity as per customer packing instructions.
10. Move the pallets to Staging Area
11. Load the pallets into truck.
12. Depart the transportation unit.

In this blog, predominantly we will discuss about LOSC and POSC combine setup.

First set of warehouse tasks: This set of tasks get created based on LOSC setup.

Parent WT: Source Stype 0300 to Destination Stype 0916 (Staging Area)

Child WT1:  Source Stype 0300 to Destination Stype 0915 (Picking/Packing Station)

Child WT2: Source Stype 0300 to Destination Stype DROP (Aisle end)

Upon Confirmation of WT2 and WT1, system opens parent WT and determine POSC. Parent warehouse task gets open for picking activity with destination storage type 0915. Confirm the parent warehouse task.

Second set of warehouse tasks: This set of tasks get created based on POSC setup.

At this stage pallet is at ‘Picking / Packing Station’ and picking is completed. Next step is to complete the packing as per packing instructions. Once packing is completed, click ‘Complete Process Step for HU’ tab which triggers the creation of next warehouse task to move pallet from ‘Picking / Packing Station’ to Staging Area. Upon confirmation of task, system triggers the subsequent task to move pallet from staging area to transportation unit.

Configuration:

1. Storage Type:

IMG -> SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Define Storage Types

Setup for High Rack (0300): Storage type role is ‘Standard storage type’. HU Picking Control ‘1 - Propose Source HU as Destination HU’. Pick point active check.

Setup for Aisle End (DROP): This storage type follows same setup as high rack.

Setup for Picking/Packing Station (0915): Storage type role is ‘B – Pick Point’.

Setup for Staging Area (0916): Storage type role is ‘D – Staging Area Group’. Maintain external step ‘ZOB3 - Prepare for Loading’. HU Picking Control ‘1 - Propose Source HU as Destination HU’

Setup for Door (9040): Storage type role is ‘F – Doors’. Maintain external step ‘ZOB4 - Load’.

2. Define Layout-Oriented Storage Process Control

IMG -> SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Cross-Process Settings -> Warehouse Task -> Define Layout-Oriented Storage Process Control

3. Define Process-Oriented Storage Control

IMG -> SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Cross-Process Settings -> Warehouse Task -> Define Process-Oriented Storage Control

External Storage Process Step: ZOB1 – Picking, ZOB2 – Pack, ZOB3 - Prepare for Loading, ZOB4 – Load (Copy of standard process steps).

Process Oriented Storage Control: WPT Z370 and Z371 are copy of 3070.

Storage Process – Definition:

4. Work Center:

Need to define ‘Picking / Packing Station’ as work center. Assign the process step ‘ZOB2 – Pack’.

IMG -> SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Work Center -> Define Work Center

5. Warehouse Order creation rule:

IMG -> SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Cross-Process Settings -> Warehouse Order

Define Creation Rules for Warehouse Orders: Define WOCR and assign storage process.

Define Search Sequence of Creation Rules for Activity Areas:

Since picking is happening at ‘Picking / Packing Station’, WOCR should be determine for 0915 activity area.

Note: Perquisite setup for storage type, section, and bin determination, WPT determination, master data setup i.e. storage bin, work center attributes should be in place.
