Cross company with STO and one step in one EWM warehouse

[shuming]

Hello Experts,

I have a scenario about cross company STO in one EWM warehouse.

Company A and B share one EWM warehouse, sometimes goods has to be transferred from A to B with STO and billing.

User don't want to move goods because warehouse storage BIN is shared.

STO is one step which movement type is 645 and 101. I know it is easy to work without EWM.

But now we use EWM and manage all goods. I made testing and it failed because DN type NLCC is outbound delivery which PDO is assigned in EWM, picking & PGI is must , posting change can not be trigged.

Can you help me to share more experience about this scenario? STO is must because MRP billing and price are required.

Our SAP version is S4/HANA 1909.

Many Thanks

As per my understanding, you could manage your requirement in below.

-> Create Warehouse Process Types assign to respective Docs

-> Create a Virtual Staging Storage Stype/bin for GI and GR

-> Activate Auto GI in EWM (PPF in EWM)

-> Develop a Custom Function Module with adding Queue Functionality and it would be in queue unless and untill fully executed

-> Create new PPF for the below

Logic of Custom Function Module:

Step-1: Check the Goods Issue done in EWM and ECC.

Step-2: Check the inbound delivery created once GI done in ERP (settings available in ERP)

Step-3: Check the EWM Delivery and do GR in virtual Storage Tyep

Step-4: Create Putaway Warehouse Task using Picking Source ( You can create it here or you can do this separately in EWM inbound Delivery Itself, but destination would be your source of Outbound picking) and Auto Confirm the Putaway Task

Step-5: Finally Match all stock and Exit the Queue.

Please create action profile in OD to trigger (encapsulate all the the above steps in this and use Queue Functionality So that it would complete once everything done that means Complete GI for EWM Delivery) -Like the PPF for EWM GI info to ERP Delivery.

Logic of Picking: Either use manual selection or automatic strategy, but need to know where and which stock to convert.

My assumption on Physical Activity: Picking Warehouse Task is to identify the stock/location/bin and confirm on virtual storage type. You can do via desktop or RF (Create a Special Queue for the same ,Only scan one way -Source bin/HU to Resource and Auto confirm( Resource to Virtual Storage bin(Storage Type)).

Please let me know if you have further Questions.

Kind Regards,

Ajit

Many thanks.

It is complex development.

Hi,

if I understand correctly you would like to a standard STO scenario without all the deliveries in and out.

I do not think that is possible because of your requirements regarding billing and pricing.

Eventually, you will have to set up a full STO process with outbound delivery from A and inbound delivery to B. You should be able to automize the process using standard tools in EWM and ERP. The only thing you will have to custom-code is transferring the bin from the outbound process to the inbound process, i.e. storage bin determination for the putaway.

Hi, Andreas,

Yes, you are correct.I already try to use STO and make enhancement but failed due to core interface between ERP and EWM.

When I setup full STO process with ERP delivery movement type is 645 and 101, it must be outbound/inbound delivery in EWM, WO with picking and PGI is must. It will increase warehouse operation. If warehouse use HU, it is more difficult to select correct HU to post GI and GR.

I just feel confuse that SAP didn't have such classical scenario that transfer with 645 and 101 is in one EWM warehouse? Only post change 301 can do it? SO/PO/Delivery with pricing/billing/VAT is must due to legal requirement.

Many thanks.
