WAVE RELEASE based on DELIVERY CREATION DATE or PLANNED SHIP DATE in SAP EWM

Dear Experts,

Good day.

We have a requirement related to WAVE RELEASE based on DELIVERY CREATION date or PLANNED SHIP DATE.

My 1st question related to standard SAP EWM behavior, Wave release criteria confusion based on SAP F1 definition.

hari_y11_0-1731157694340.png

According to above, wave release should happen based on “yard departure date”,  below is our example:

Delivery created date 11/07/2024 / 14:00:04

Yard departure date. 11/08/2024

Planned GI on 11/08/2024

hari_y11_3-1731157761800.png

Wave Template, release days 0.

hari_y11_4-1731157784329.png

Wave release date  11/07/2024 / 15.01.00

hari_y11_5-1731157796166.png

As per standard behavior the Wave release date calculation is updating a day prior(yard date -1 day) to actual departure date form the yard, which is confusing, why it is taking -1 day?

Some other cases:

Ex 1: wave creation date 11-06-2024 and departure date from yard is 11-07-2024 release date is updated 11-06-2024  and wave got released on release date 11-06-2024 release time 15:01:00 as per wave template 

Ex 2: wave creation date 11-06-2024 and departure date from yard is 11-08-2024 release date is updated 11-07-2024 and wave would release on 11-07-2024 at 15:01:00

Ex 3: wave creation date 11-06-2024 and departure date from yard is 11-13-2024 release date is updated 11-07-2024 and wave would release on 11-12-2024 at 15:01:00 

 

Question 1 is: Why system taking Yard date -1 day for release?

Question 2 : If we want the wave release based on  DELIVERY CREATION date or PLANNED SHIP DATE any options available?

Kindly help to achieve this solution or to understand exact wave release logic.

Thanks,

Hari

Hi,

"Why system taking Yard date -1 day for release?"

The problem is that EWM always use the exact time.

In your ERP system you only calculate with days. That why your GI date is 11/08/24 - probably sometime in the afternoon.

But EWM thinks that you want to leave at midnight. And because the wave needs to be finished before that time - it ends on the 7.

I have never found a way to correct this, the only option I found is to use exact scheduling (with hours and minutes) in the sales order.
