EWM OD transmits unwished HUs to ERP

[former_member552819]

Hi experts,
When I perform PGI in Outbound delivery, containing HUs, HUs are transmitted to ERP as well.

In Inbound, I can stop sending HUs to ERP in SPRO / EWM/Interfaces/ERP Integration/Delivery Processing/Control Message Processing Dependent on Recipient. There we set "do not report HU data" so at the time of GR confirmation to ERP, only stock is transmitted.

I need the same logic in the outbound. The abovementioned customiying workd only for Inbound process. How to stop HU sending in the outbound?
Thanks

Pavlo.

Hi Pavlo,

I am not sure the HU-ban in the last storage type will work. Once I tried a similar solution (inspired by the old WM, where interface storage types were not SU-relevant), but I couldn't make it work. But I was not using POSC, so maybe you are more lucky.

Regarding automatic deletion of empty HUs, it is standard customizing: checkbox "Delete" in the definition of the packaging material type (Extended Warehouse Management > Cross-Process Settings > Handling Units > Basics > Define Packaging Material Types). However, this does not delete empty HUs only; it depends on the process. You might need a periodical cleanup of your storage type 2 with a small report or manually in the warehouse management monitor.

About the BAdI in EWM, you have two options:

• You want to unpack the delivery in EWM before goods issue. I would use a PPF action in the moment the delivery is completely picked.
• You don't want to unpack the delivery; just remove the HU information in the message you send to ERP. Then use "BAdI: Goods Issue of Outbound Deliveries in ERP System". Structures CT_BAPI_HANDLING_UNIT_HEADER, CT_BAPI_HANDLING_UNIT_ITEM.

Hi Julio,
unfortunately ERP cannot be managed in this situation. EWM belongs to 3PL company, while ERP belongs to another company. They will not change anything.
I will try finding any BADI in EWM, or think about some "Pick and Pack" POSC via several storage types, the last being with HU-ban. In this case HU will be found in STtype 1, go to St type 2. Empty HU will remain in STtype 2 while the stock will go to St Type 3 (since St.type 3 does not allow HUs). The only question - does anyone know whether it is possible to setup automatic empty HU deletion in EWM?
But generally it is very sad, that SAP foresaw HU-switch off in Inb Process and "forgot" about this in Outbound.

Hi Pavlo,

I don't think you can avoid sending HU data to ERP. But it is quite easy to remove or change the HU information in ERP when receiving the confirmation.

SPRO > Logistics Execution > Decentralized WMS Integration > System Modifications > Business Add-Ins for Integration of Decentralized WMS > Business Add-In for Replication and Confirmation of Deliveries. Method EXIT_SAPLV50I_004. You have two structores, CT_VERKO and CT_VERPO, for HU headers and items. If you just empty them, you will post GI without HUs.

Of course I am sure there is a corresponding BADI in EWM, but I don't have experience with it.
