Warehouse number from "Decentralized WMS" to "Centralized"

Hi all
We have implemented a warehouse number with Decentralized WMS.
ERP and WM are SAP systems.
Now, weu2019d like to integrate WM into the same ERP SAP system (convert a warehouse number from "Decentralized WMS" to "Centralized").
So, what shall we do?
Can we maintain the same warehouse number and do the customizing on it (deactivate Decentralized WMS and so on)? Or we must define a new one?
In both cases, (maintain the same warehouse number or define a new one) how can we transfer WM stock from decentralized to centralized?
Any suggest?
Thanks a lot
Michele

Hi Funky Tech.
Thank you for your answer, but my question is another.
We have already implemented a warehouse number as decentralized WMS.
Now we want to integrate it into ERP (centralized WMS).
So the questions are:
Can we maintain the same warehouse number and do the customizing on it (deactivate Decentralized WMS and so on)? Or we must define a new one?
In both cases, (maintain the same warehouse number or define a new one) how can we transfer WM stock from decentralized to centralized?
Thanks
Michele

How to get Storage unit and Warehouse number from Handling Unit.

hello all,
I have Handling unit and Material in my program as an input, using these two fields i have to get corresponding storage unit and ware house number, to pick up transfer order.
Can anybody explain me who can we get Storage Unit and Warehouse Number from Handling Unit.
I know we can pull transfer order from table LTAK & LTAP using warehouse number.
But i dont understand how to get warehouse number from handling unit.
There is table LSUTO which has warehouse and Handling unit relation, but in our system there is not data maintained in that table. So, i was just wondering how can i get warehouse number from the given handling unit number.
please guide me
thanks

Hi ,
Check out the handling unit item table VEPO. You got storage location(LGORT) in it.
Reward points if it was useful.

Packing from Decentralized WMS

We are working on decentralized WMS integration with non-SAP system. We have a problem now - SAP doesn't allow to create handling units for shipment received with SHPMNT IDoc from an external warehouse.
What is a process planed within decentralized WMS, how packages can be created, if we want to put in a single handling unit items from different deliveries?
We planned to use shipment document for that, but now because of error saying "The handling units for the item that is to be packed are maintained in another (decentralized) system. It is not possible to pack in this system." it's not clear anymore
Thanks
Maris

Thanks for answering, but can you please be more specific?
We are planning to follow that procedure:
1) SAP sends outbound deliveries to WMS
2) WMS sends back confirm decentral for goods issue
3) WMS sends shipments with packing data, where in handling units several deliveries are packed together
We cannot use packing for deliveries with confirm decentral idoc, because WMS packs in single handling units items from different deliveries. They pack the goods the most efficient way and if several deliveries has to be delivered to customer, then WMS packs them all together.
What is the procedure that you have?

Diff bet central processing and local operations in decentralized WMS

Hi Gurus,
Will any one give clear picture about exact diff between central processing and local operations in the functionality and configuration part, which comes under decentralized WM Integration.
mail me any doc or pdf,,to [email protected]
SPRO, path Le -> Decentralized WMS Integration -> Central processing, local Operations.
Full points for useful answer
Regards,
Venkat

Hello Venkatesh,
Let me try to explain in simple words.
In decentralized scenario you will be using two different system
1. Central system
2. Decentral system (WMS system and it can be any application i.e. SAP or other WMS application) in which you will carry out WH transactions.
Now when you have SAP system as Central system at that time you will make settings in "Central Processing"
When you are using your SAP system as Decentral system (which is linked to other Central system) at that time you will make settings in "Local Operations"
Hope this helps.

Config Steps for Pick process from warehouse number

Dear Gurus,
Need the config. steps for picking process with warehouse number assignments
Thanks

Hi,
You only need to assign a Warehouse number for the combination of Plant and Storage location in SPRO in assignment of organisational structures in Warehouse Mngt. If this is done, then picking will become mandatory and you can do picking either manually or automatically through LT03 or other transactions.
If this warehouse assignment is not done, then you can put the picking quantity directly in delivery and do PGI. If this assignment is done, then you will be able to do picking only through transactions like LT03, either in foreground or background. In this case, u will not be able to manually update the picking quantity in delivery.
Hope this helps.

ECC WMS vs Decentralized-WMS vs SCM - Extended-WMS. Confusing SAP Strat

Have a Question ... pertaining to SCM-EWM = Extended Warehouse Management Functionality in SCM.
I am raising this under SCM out of not sure which Forum this belongs to.
I knew WMS Functionality that is part of erstwhile R3 4.6, 4.7 and now ECC 6 Releases.
Back in 2003-2004 also came "Decentralized WMS" which was the same thing, but WMS implemented
on a Separate Server integrated to R3 via IDOCs/BDOCs.   It had additional functionality of TRM (Task & Resource Mngt)
which I know as my team has implemented in my earlier job as SCM Manager.   At that time there was no WMS inside of SCM (primarily APO).
I am now quite confused with the "Extended WM" functionality that has come as part of SCM along with APO.
- What is the reason for coining EWM ? Architecture seems similar to D-WMS.   Is this meant to be a 'Replacement' for D-WMS ?
- I am reading this EWM having functionality similar to D-WMS (eg : TRM, Cross Docking, RFID) ... so it
   appears to be the same ... except now I am reading it has functionality called 'Slotting', 'Rearrangement',
'Transportation Cross Docking", "EH&S Integration" ... all honestly very confusing to me.
- Is it that SAP will now do all the Latest Developments around WM only in the "EWM" module & slowly phase out WMS in ECC ?
Thought someone might know. This confuses me a lot & I as Head SCM am unable to give the Right Opinion to our Customers on where to head for Warehouse Management.
Regards,
Ambrish Mathur

Thanks for responding. But please bear with me for the confusion that still exists.
If I am looking to recommend to a Large Customer who is in Manufacturing or Consumer Products or Automotive/Service Parts or Pharmaceutical Domain who typically Manufacture Finished Goods Inhouse and then Distribute it from Mfg. Plants to Regional Warehouses to Local Warehouses in a Country or across countries to sell to some Distributor or Retail Store for selling it to the Consumers. In such an Environment most of the Warehouses need to be WMS Managed - particularly big ones where RF Automation is also needed. Some even track Handling Units and need to Track Plant Batches so usually Implement HUM / SUM and Batch Management along with WMS to allow Pallet Tracking.
If I were to recommend to such customers which WMS to choose for their SAP Landscape, it is a Confusion of Giant Proportions esp. when deciding between Decentralized WMS Server (i.e : WMS not in ECC but in a separate R/3 which was primarily given by SAP to avoid Performance Issues in the Core Operations in ECC - Batch Management, HUM & WMS can be very Performance Intensive) or use the SCM-EWM Functionality. I want to give a Recommendation that is Futuristic. Why does SAP need to keep both - D-WMS as well as SCM-EWM ?
Bear in mind that EWM is different in Terminologies from D-WMS or ECC-WMS in the sense that the "Transfer Orders" in ECC or D-WMS and they are called as "Warehouse Orders" in SCM-EWM so have different SAP Trainings . In both 'Deliveries' for Sales/POs/STOs get "Distributed" from the Executional ECC System to the EWM/D-WM system to manage Warehouse Picking, Putaway & eventually GI / GR. D-WMS exchanges information with Central ECC Orders via Middleware which is IDOC/BDOC based while I am not sure if EWM uses CIF of SCM or has a different Interface with ECC.
D-WMS & SCM-EWM both run in a Decentralized Fashion to take care of Performance Issues with implementing WMS in the Integrated ECC Environment which I do not recommend for Companies wanting to implement a Lot of WMS.
So the Confusion very much exists between what to recommend between D-WMS & SCM-EWM to a Customer like above with a Futuristic Outlook in mind. It does not make sense for SAP to keep both.
What do you recommend for above-like Customers ?
Where do SCM-EWM Trainings happen (seem to be still not common) ... can you refer me ? I cannot see them in the India/Asia SAP Training syllabus.
I want expert help to make a recommendation.

Ambrish Mathur

Decentralized WMS System

Can multiple SAP systems be integrated with one decentralized WMS system (which is SAP)?
Thanks,

yes, you can filter those data from decentralized warehouse by logical system. it will allowed you to send those idoc to relevant system.

Define Warhouse number or Copy standard warehouse number?

Hi
I am in situation where we are in a client replication project ( two different clients move in to one already existing client ).
Client 1 - has no WM settings ( 3 different plants for different company codes ) - US
Client 2 - has WM settings ( plant 221 for company code 221 ) - US
I am reconfiguring the whole setup in the Client 1 for plant 221 for WM settings.
I am planning to define the warehouse number and assigning the plant/storage location (221/009) for the same.
If i copy from standard warehouse number 001 ( Germany ) it will copy the region.
I dont see any option of removing region Germany for my ware house if i do so...
I know this is very trivial question but i donot want to proceed with out procedure.....
( Usually in case of Plant copy in MM we remove all standard settings of DE for the created one, but in case of ware house no i do not see any thing )
Since 001 Central warehouse is not connected to any plant i can copy that so that all tables get copied but how to remove the region?
Please suggest
Regards
Rudresh K

Hi Anna Durai
It works and it removes the Region Code. Thanks for your suggestion on this...
I have one more question ,
Do you copy 001Central warehouse or we can define our own ware house number?
We have two options in Enterprise structure - LE-Define, copy, delete, check warehouse number
Define warehouse number
Copy/delete/check warehouse number
Is the Region code required only hazardous materials or it has any impact on structure ....
As my understanding the Central Warehouse 001 is not assigned to any plant.

Goods Receipt in Decentralized WMS

Dear Friends
Our client processes the GRN by creating a Inbound delivery for PO, Then MIGO with movement type 107 for the inbound delivery and then MIGO with 109.
Now do i process the Stock putaway in Decentralized WMS since i understand that inbound delivery is replicated in the Decentral WMS and the subsequent confirmation is done in central system upon the confirmation of TO.
The requirement is that the process of putaway in the decentral WMS must be started after MIGO -109.
Please advise me on this. Your help shall be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Anand,
What is the main idea for the 107 and 109? Why don't you create the PO with stock type "S" and then take the stock to your WH in this stock mode? When the goods are cleared/released you do a migo 343 to transfer the stoc kfrom block to unrestricted?
I checked out the process with 107 (where the PO has an sloc which is linked to the DWM sloc) and this is not possible.
Is this in special cases or for all inbound materials?

Hein

Want to pick perticular serial / Lot number from MSCA

Want to pick perticular serial / Lot number from MSCA for WMS enable organization. The problem, which I am facing, from MSCA it is automatic taking the first serial number. And when, I am running pick release with Auto Allocate as No , the corresponding WMS task is not getting created.
Any help will be appreciated.

I have a similar problem. I am trying update the lot for an existing serial number and it doesnt work. If you set the lot for a NEW serial number then it does work. But if that serial number ever existed in OSRI it doesn't seem to work

One warehouse number, two number ranges?

Hi all,
I have a scenario where an external system creates some of the transfer orders in a warehouse, while others are created through normal WM processes.
I would like to be able to give the external system a specific number range to use, separate from the standard range.
Standard system only allows assignment of one number range to a warehouse number for TO.
The external system will communicate with ECC through IDOCs.
Does anyone know if it is possible to set this up? Looking a enhancing the TO creation when triggered by the IDOC is a possiblility I guess?
Regards,
Mark.

Hi Mark,
Can you please check if you can manipulate the value of screen field V_T340DA-NUKTA thru' the function module used for the inbound idoc posting TO? You can maintain 02 number range as external with given range in SPRO. On execution of function module for Idoc above screen field value change to 02..the other number can be used.
Hope this will help.

3PL implementation without Decentralized WMS

We are working towards outsourcing the warehouse for one division of our products. We cannot do the decentralized WMS as the 3PL doesn't want to have the terminal.
This is the EDI flow I am working on.
1. O/B 846 (Inventory Snapshot)
2. O/B 940 (Warehouse Order)
3. I/B 945 (Warehouse Shipment Receipt)
4. O/B 943 (Warehouse Stock Transfer Shipment)
5. I/B 944 (Warehouse Stock Transfer Receipt Advice)
1. I have no cluse about it. I know there is one message type in CRM to do this. But we don't have CRM. Any idea how to generate this one ?
2. For 940, I am planning to do WHSORD with DELV/DELVRY03 at the time of pick ticket creation.
3. For 945, I'll do SDPICK to pick and pack the delivery and then do the Goods Issue.
4. Will it be generated once the PO is released ??
5. Should it trigger aMIGO for Goods Recipt?
Thanks,

SAP integrates RF Devices, using SAP Console. Once the integration is setup, you can configure many of the warehouse activities to be executed on RF Devices. SAP provides a detailed configuration tasks to link the same GUI transactions to be executed thru RF Devices.
If you need more information on configuring the RF transactions, Please let me know the WM Business process so that configuration tasks can be guided.

Warehouse number

Hi All,
I want to know two things
1.Where can we assign the delivery item to the warehouse number?
2.Where can we see the WM status of the delibery item is "relevant or not relevant".
I need urgent.
Thanks&Regards
Govind.

Govind,
Your storage type indicator defined in material master WM views decide the strategy to be used for stock removal and stock placement. The strategy definition in SPRO->LE->WM->Strategies decide which storage type the material should be picked from and placed to.
WM status of the delivery line is relavant if he material is being picked from a WM managed storage location. A WM managed storage location is assigned to the warehouse in SPRO->Enterpirse Structure->Assignments->Logistics Execution
