SAP EWM - Automatic Loading Completion

[former_member689692]

Hello EWM Experts,

Could you please help with the FM which completes the Loading for the Outbound Delivery Order.

My requirement is to complete the Loading Status automatically using a PPF after Picking Warehouse Task is auto created and confirmed.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Shiv,

The config is incorrect, the final step is the last & completion step, it can never have Auto WT.

Actually the loading WT is manually( Recommended by SAP and its logical) created as ''HU WT'' from staging area to the door for the outbound delivery items, which implies in POSC, we must put Stage as a mandatory process then only subsequent WT will be generated.

I tested in my system and it worked, I added 3 steps, Pick, Stage and Load, loading as last step

Picking is completed, so next step is to create loading manually.

Before I create a loading WT, check the delivery status

Now, definition of ''Loading ' as per SAP : Any WT confirmation to a door bin is defined as loading WT and it creates a document flow entry in the delivery order item and status change of HU.

SAP recommends to create loading WT manually at least for outbound process because in the goods issue process, we generally do not define automatic creation of a subsequent WT in POSC for the WT for a staging area, because we don't know when actual truck will arrive at the warehouse door. When physically the truck arrives at the door, then only SAP should trigger creation of loading HU WT.

After loading HU WT confirmation

The loading status is completed.

Changing the POSC config.

Now, I altered the config below to allow system to automatically create loading WT which is practically an incorrect step:)

I picked the delivery, system created 2 WO, 3 tasks.

As highlighted system automatically created loading HU WT from staging area to the Door Bin.

Now, practically warehouse operator should confirm this task only when physically truck is arrived at warehouse door.

Loading status is completed. So, automatic creation of Loading HU is possible.

So, automatic creation of Loading HU WT is possible atleast.

Hi shiv_shankar,

Could you please share the PPF action to create an auto-loading warehouse task?

Hello Shiv,

There can be alternative route or different process to achieve this . I am not sure whether you are doing single step ?
Loading status can be influenced in 2 different process.

1) Using POSC- If the outbound process includes Pick, Pack and loading or Just Picking(keeping in mind Pick & Pack happens during picking through Pick HU) and loading , system will create automatically the next task which will be yours “Loading WT” based on POSC setting. You can think to have immediate confirmation of Loading WT through WPT. ( Though I have never tested this of auto Loading confirmation), could be an option.

2) Through TU- With the status change of TU i.e TU arrival at door, system will automatically create a loading WT through PPF, /SCWM/TU. You can think of getting this confirmed same way.

Hope this helps.

Best regards

Hi Shailesh,

Thank you for your response. I was finally able to achieve it with my developer's help (I'll post the enhancement here so that it will be helpful for others also).

I tried it with POSC but, it seems for Loading step Auto Warehouse Task creation is not allowed.

We are not using Transportation Unit (I saw there is one PPF to create auto Loading Warehouse Task). That was my backup plan in case I didn't find any enhancement point 🙂

Best Regards,
