New functionality:
From 1909, SAP has delivered a remarkable feature which allows early S/4 stock check during consumption or consumption reversal posting from EWM related to PMR documents. This early stock simulation for PMR document posting helps in significantly reducing the number of failed queues, improves the scalability and less user intervention to correct the queues.
This functionality can be activated from below configuration.
Extended Warehouse Management-->ERP Integration-->Goods Movements-->Activate Synchronous Goods Movement Posting
F1 help clearly stating the feature, however, functionality is hidden and less explored by customers.
Replication Step:
I-S/4 and EWM stock not in sync for some reason. ERP stock check.
EWM stock= 415 PC
S/4 Stock= 73 PC
II - Create PMR & Stage to PSA.
III- Post consumption by Production using Fiori or NWBC
EWM has already 415 PCS, however S/4 has 73 PCS ONLY
Post consumption:
Stock simulation check does early stock check in S/4 as well during posting from EWM
PMR qty= 300 PCS, S/4 Stock=73, Variance= 300-73= 227 Shortage
This feature helps in reducing stuck queue in S/4 due to stock deficit.
This functionality works for Post Reversal from Production as well in Embedded 1909 onwards. This feature is not supported in Decentralized EWM on S/4 HANA due to system boundary.
This feature is also not supported during Consumption Posting in RF. No early stock check is called from RF framework. If you try to post from RF, EWM allows however, Queue gets stuck in SMQ2 stating deficit of Stock.
Try to post consumption from RF. NO simulation check is called as compared to Fiori.
System allowed to post consumption from RF and there is no S/4 Early stock simulation called as Fiori and its a missing link.
Thanks for reading. All test have been performed in S/4 HANA Embedded 2022 Sandbox system
