SAP EWM consolidation group to split stocks in my first step on "2 step pick" process

[bruno_viol]

Hello,

I have EWM and LES-TRA integration. So after created the wave by "TU - Transportation Unit" (NWBC transaction), I will release a wave and use "2 step pick process" (/SCWM/MON transaction).

In the first step (from 2 step pick) the "WTs - Warehouse Tasks" don´t have information about "consolidation group".

When I will release the second step, "WTs - Warehouse Tasks" have "consolidation group" field with values.

The problem is: All stocks into "2010" storage type in "2ST-ZONE" bin don´t have any "consolidation or split or category..." and in the second step from "2 step pick process", one other wave/TU can get my stocks from this my first wave/TU.

How can I split stocks by TU or Wave or Consolidation Group into "2010" Storage Type in my "2 step process" ?

It´s necessary, because the stocks are organized by TU/Wave in front of the TU´s door.

How can I do this?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

"How can I split stocks by TU or Wave or Consolidation Group into "2010" Storage Type in my "2 step process" ?"

Not by any standard means. The system has no wave specific information it assigns at this moment. Technically you could create more then one bin in the storage type 2010 and have the material on different bins - but the second step still takes whatever material it can find.

"It´s necessary, because the stocks are organized by TU/Wave in front of the TU´s door."

That does not sound as what 2-step picking is intended for. It is assumed that you are not near the doors at this time, so this information is not considered.

And it is EWM. NOT eWM - Duh!
And if your question includes the word "transfer order" - do NOT tag the question with Extended Warehouse Management!

Hi Juergen Pitz,

Thanks for your answer!

In the first step, we have "wave" field with value.

But in the second step, it´s not considered.

I think that is a bug. Because however stocks are in interim storage type, it would be per wave. The next wave couldn´t get stocks from other wave.

"Technically you could create more then one bin in the storage type 2010"

How can I do this by wave for example? Because we have just one bin into "process type" configuration.

Thank in advanced!

No, sorry, no bug, it is as it is. It is not very convenient, but again, the scenario you described is not really considered in 2-step picking.

In WM the process looks better. Because in the interim storage type the system creates a dynamic bin with the number of the wave, so the first step uses this as destination, the second as source bin. This looks better - but only in the system. Because in reality you also have no bin coordinates, so the picker for the second step still can use whatever he finds.

I assume that when the whole thing was taken from EWM into EWM no re-design was discussed, that's why we also have the same cheap choice for the two step picking that it is either always, or product dependent, but not depending on the source storage type (which is the only thing which makes sense).

"How can I do this by wave for example? Because we have just one bin into "process type" configuration."

"By wave" is not possible (with standard). Well, just remove the bin from the process type, and change the putaway strategy in storage type 2010 to "empty bin". But that means you have to think about how many bins you need. And again, this does not really solve your issue. Or better: not at all.

Hi Jurgen Pitz,

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, I understand the concept "can use whatever he finds". And in WM the process looks better.

So, to try resolve, I think to use method "/SCWM/IF_EX_CORE_RMS_VERIFY~VERIFY" and in the second step, I will check the HU e last WT and respective wave, if it is not the same, I will ignore HU.

Maybe can be the solution for my scenario.

Thanks Jurgen!
