Hello everyone.
The purpose of this blog is to share technical knowledge of SAP EWM (customizing) and a functionality to repack partial quantity from a source HU into a target HU without move the source HU from its storage bin.
Business scenario
"The operation needs a RF application that allows the warehouse worker to
repack a partial quantity of the product into a new HU
without move source HU and without a reference document, the worker should be capable to carry out this activity anytime he needs."
Solution
There is a RF application where you can make the transfer of products from source HU to target HU, which you can find following the screenshots below:
For my example, I'll use the HU 800182 in the storage bin Y403-01-01-02-1, my objective is move 10 pieces from this HU without move it to another storage bin to a new HU.
If you access the RF transaction and try to move partial quantity, the system return a message requesting to the user enter an exception code.
Note: I'm not really sure whether or not there was an exception code available for this purpose. I didn't find and I was in a hurry, with short time etc. Please if you know, tell me in the comments.
So, I decided to use the internal exception code available in this RF transaction, which is actually to change the quantity and the unit of measurement.
When the user push the button
SF2 UoMC, the system clear the
quantity field and open the
UoM field for the changes. Y
ou don't need to change the unit of measurement, just enter the quantity and push button ENTER to transfer the stock
.
Note: the internal exception code is preconfigured by SAP and you can't change it. Besides that the internal exception code doesn't have a exception code assigned, this require a few configurations to work as showed in the above screenshots, more detail in the next section.
If the configuration is in place, the RF transaction will be capable to move partial quantity from source HU to target HU, without need to move the source HU to a work center.
Configuration
The settings are pretty simple and actually it take only two steps. As mentioned, the internal exception code is predefined by SAP in the RF transaction we will only need to assign an external exception code to it,
1. Define a new exception code
IMG: SCM Extended Warehouse Management > Extended Warehouse Management > Cross-process settings > Exception handling > Define exception codes
2. Assign Internal Exception Codes to Exception Codes
IMG: SCM Extended Warehouse Management > Extended Warehouse Management > Cross-process settings > Exception handling > Assign Internal Exception Codes to Exception Codes
Well, I hope this help you, waiting for your comments and better solutions.
😛
All the best.
