EWM Yard Management Inbound Deliveries

When using yard management and during staging area door assignment on inbound deliveries, I'm trying to see how to apply the factors of how a trailer (TU) was loaded; based on the supplier we could get the same SKU floor loaded or unitized. We use different doors based on how the trailer was loaded. Since stage area/door determination group is at the SKU level what could we use to influence door determination.

WM/EWM Yard Management

Hi,
This thread is created to collect information around the features of Yard Management. Please provide busincess process procudure and configuration information and links in this space. Helpful information will be rewarded with points. Basic information around EWM and Yard Management is available in wiki ERP Operations at following link.

Hello Survesh,
Here is the business process for Yard Management:
1. Create Vehicle
2. Create Transporation Unit (TU)
3. Assign Transporation Unit to Vehicle
4. Assign Delivery to Vehicle/TU
5. Check in Vehicle
6. Create Warehouse Task to Move vehicle from Check point to Parking Lot
7. Create Warehouse Task to Move vehicle from Parking Lot to Door
8. Create Warehouse Task to unload TU in staging area
9. Check out the Vehicle.
The key points for configuration:
Pre-requisite if using HU:
1. Maintain packaging material in R/3 and EWM (with material type VERP)
2. Maintain Packaging Material Type and HU type in EWM for product (Material) in product data
3. Define packaging specification to create HU for product.
Customization:
1. Activate Yard management
2. Master data settings for yard
- Define storage type with YARD
- Define check points
- Define section (Optional)
3. Define doors
4. Assign doors to yard bin
Hope this helps.

Yard management in WM (Not EWM)

Hi friends,
I configured Yard management in WM and trying to create a Vehicle, then I am getting following error - Vehicle type TRAILER48 is not compatible with vehicle category. Seems something wrong with my config. I created TRAILER48 as packaged material in material master. Please advise.
Thanks

If worse comes to worse create a custom condition table using the fields warehouse/material
It means you have to create a strategy for each material in your system. That's a pain. But it will work.
I would suggest you look at maybe creating two storage types. SLED materials and non-SLED materials. Then you can create a custom condition table using warehouse/storage type.
The issue you have is finding a field you can use to distinguish between SLED and non-SLED materials. I would consider creating some additional material types if you can. Find out the business reason for having ot limit them.

Inbound deliveries with STO

Hi,
I am currently designing an interface with an external WMS and I am thinking to use inbound deliveries but it seems inbound deliveries with stock transport order have important restrictions :
1. inbound deliveries are created with the quantity from the STO and not from the outbound delivery => risk on stock in transit
2. The batch numbers are not copied from the outbound delivery to the inbound delivery (it is done in GR with MIGO if you post from outbound delivery)
3. I haven't (yet) found a way to create automatically an inbound delivery when you post the goods issue from the outbound delivery. (it seems SAP is providing special development for that ?)
Does anyone experienced the use of inbound deliveries with STO and what are your recommendation?
Thanks a lot,
JP

Hi,
We want to create inbound delivery in order to interface with an external WMS (Warehouse Management). We are not using standard SAP "decentralized WMS" interface.
By using inbound deliveries for the interface, we can initiate the GR in SAP and then wait for confirmation from WMS. The WMS can then confirm different quantities if some discrepancies are identified during unloading.
Also, creating inbound deliveries allow planning for receiving (i.e yard management).
=> We do not want to post the GR first in SAP and then send it to the WMS as they can find some differences during unloading
=> We do not want warehouse operators to work in SAP
=> We need a document in the WMS which will trigger task creation for GR for warehouse operators.
=> We want to use same solution for GR for external purchase orders and STO. So if we use inbound deliveries for PO, we want to use it for STO.
Does anyone has experienced to create inbound delivery for STO from outbound delivery with Idoc (i.e ASN with DESADV) or specific development ?
Thanks for your help,
JP

Grouping of inbound deliveries

Hi there,
We are running ECC6 and EWM.
We have a situation where we create different orders against different vendor numbers, however the supplying vendor is the same. We only use the different vendor numbers to allow for different pricing, currency, inforecords, etc.
Out vendor would supply the all the parts of all the PO's all packed into the same case.
We process the inbound delivery via a DESADV.DELVRY03 IDoc. When we process the inbound delivery, we automatically pack it as well as defined in the IDoc, but because the items contained in the inbound delivery IDoc is for different PO's and for different vendors, SAP splits the idoc and creates an inbound delivery per vendor, but still using the same HU number for each when doing the packing.
In EWM the system sees these deliveries as duplicates because of the HU number that gets used between the inbound deliveries are the same.
My question is if there is a way in this process to re-pack the separate inbound deliveries into a single HU, or if there is a way to create an inbound delivery that does not reference the PO vendor?
Thanks and regards,
Johan

This is the ABAP forum, but it looks like this question is more for a functional Purchasing expert.
IMHO you might need go back to the drawing board with this and reconsider the design. I'm not a PTP expert, but it usually works as a "reverse SD". In SD you can't combine orders for different customers in one delivery (which kind of makes sense). However, deliveries may be combined into an outbound shipment. And there is a concept of inbound shipment as well.
In SD it's possible to create a delivery without a reference to order, it's very likely possible for inbound. But it's not an ABAP question.

Inbound Deliveries to GTS

Hi ,
I am sucessfully transferring Purchase Orders to GTS. I have mapped inbound deliveries ) doc type in R/3 Plugin and as well as in GTS customs including item cat. Still the inbound deliveries are not transferring. Can you please help me in config. to transfer the inbound deliveries to GTS.
Regards,
Jeff

Hi Venkat,
I have checked the settings in both ECC6.0 and GTS7.1 :
Path: SPRO->Materials Management->Purchasing->Foreign Trade/Customs->SAP Global Trade Services -Plug-in->Control data for Transfer to SAP Global Trade Services->Technical Activation of Document Transfer->Activate Transfer of Inbound Delivery (MM0B)
Document type DIG Assigned .
In GTS system
SPRO->SAP customs Management>General Settings>Assign Doc.types from Feeder system Group--> and maintained Doc. type "DIG" (For Application MM0B) and maintained GTS doc.type as "CULOIM".
SPRO->SAP customs Management>General Settings>Assign Item Cat.types from Feeder system Group--> and maintained Item Cat. "ZIG" (For Application MM0B) and maintained GTS Item Cat. as "CLPOS".
Still the Inbound deliveries not transfering to SAP GTS.
Help in this regard highly appreciated.

Yard Management and Handling Unit Management

I am configuring yard Management in ECC6.0 for a LSP business. Ecc 6.0 is standard and not LSP sepcific industry.
Requirement is :
Track the Container once unloaded at the Port with its content - This I have mapped as HU management.
Recieve the Container at the Freight Forwarder (FF) Whse and perform Check In activity. .
Ability to issue Gate Pass once vehicle arrives at the ,FF whse.
Keep track of inventory of Containers by Shipping Line.
Recieve Empty containers from Shipping line.
Know the container as to how long it has been at the FF Whse to bill the Shiping line for Storage charges of the Container.
Solution concept:
I am thinking that this will be used with HU management and Yard Management. Only doubt I have is that whether Yard Management will track my Containers or Not. The Gate Pass Issued by Yard Management is for the Vehicle and not the Container.
Any inputs will be highly appreciated
Thanks
Raj

Hi Rajeev,
Thanks for the Answer. yes, I need reports to Track the Container by Freight Forwarder ie if a Container belongs to P&O Nedlyod shipping line then I should get the details of teh same . Also Empty Container comes in and then its loaded with Outbound delivery. I am putting the container number in the Container field when we do the check in and putting the forwarding agent as the respective shipping line that way I will know how many container of different size of Forwarder is in my Yard.
Also client wants a way to create a Container Master ie The shipping line gives a list of Empty containers which are lying at the Port. Only when the client needs the containers , he will ask for the same with the shipping line.Not sure is there any standard way of handling this in Yard Management. I am more inclined to make a Z Table to store this data.
Also in the process once I have the container in the Yard , I need to stuff this container with Deliveries. I am planning to Pack the Delivery goods on a Pallet and then Pack this Pallet on to the Conatiner. I am doing this via VL02n transaction . I was somehow unable to locate the Container by Conainer ID when I need to stuff the same in VL02N. Maybe I am missing something or is the data not available? If not , then I plan to get the same by means of some user exit on the HU side ie Check for a HU which is Empty and has the type 20 feet or 40 feet as the case may be and show a Pop up of the same and let user select the COntainer in which he needs to pack the Pallets.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Rajendra

Split inbound deliveries are not getting saved .

Hi,
I have implemented an enhancement for splitting the inbound deliveries with multiple storage locations.
But on save it saves only one document and other inbound delivery documents need to be saved manually.Hence those do not get distributed to EWM.
Please let me know if there is any badi or some enhancement that can be done to carry out the saving of other split douments that get created internally .
Thanks,
Richa .

Hi,
It comes from Idoc as well as can be created manually from the transaction VL31N trasaction.
I have placed my code in the include FV50C201.
likp-zukrl+4(4) = xkomdlgn-werks.
likp-zukrl+8(4) = xkomdlgn-lgort.
This helps to create first but rest is kept as it is.Till we go and save it explicitly.And then it gets distributed to EWM system which is our requirement. This should have happened without manually opening the created ones and saving it again .
Thanks,
Richa

When Inbound deliveries split no quantity found to pack

Hi,
My client is using the DELVRY03 Idoc to create inbound deliveries for purchases from vendors. The materials being purchased are batch managed and HU managed. Currently the set up runs without issue provided that there is no delivery split when for items with batch splits. If a delivery split occurs and the items on the second delivery have split batches then the second delivery is incorrectly copied.
Since the current configuration for the copy control does not copy the line item number that is populated on PO, the main item of the second delivery gets a new number but the batch split lines have the PO reference number populated in UECHA. So if the delivery split occurs between the first 2 main items, then the second PO item is copied to the new delivery with item 10 as the line item number the batch sub item lines are created with a reference to line item 20 in UECHA. In this case the delivery gets created. Line 10 is packed. But there are no batch sub items for line 10. Additionally there is no line 20 but when you look at LIPS the batch sub items are all created with the line 20 reference. In short the second delivery is a mess.
I would like to change the copy control so that the line number for PO item 20 copies in to the second delivery as line item 20. Then all my batch sub items would be correctly linked. Unfortunately, when I turn on copy line number in the copy control the IDOC still fails. This time it fails with the message no quantity to be packed.
I looked at OSS notes 380657, 678464, and 682506 which were all applied in our system. In these notes it states that the second delivery can be created when batch splits occur providing that the IDOC is maintained with the correct data. This comment leads me to wonder if there is something being populated incorrectly in the IDOC. For instance, should the IDOC be populated with the actual PO item in POSNR and HIPOS or is there some form of wild card that should be used that lets the system determine the correct line numbers?
Has anyone had an experience similar to this that can provide some insight?
Thanks,
Paul

Steffen,
What I understand from the code:
If your stock is specified exactly (=as much as it is possible) you can pack your materials, if not, you will get error message.
If material is split valuated and not batch managed and valuation type is defined in the delivery then you won't get error message since the stock is specified as much as possible ("ls_lips-bwtar <> space" is TRUE) .
If the valuation type is not given for this material in the delivery, you will get message HUDIALOG102; "ls_lips-bwtar <> space" is FALSE)
If your material is batch managed and batch is specified then the stock is specified as much as possible (with quantity of course; ("ls_lips-charg <> space" is TRUE).
If batch is not sepcified for the same (batch managed) material, then again you will get message HUDIALOG102 (ls_lips-charg <> space is FALSE)
If material is neither batch managed nor subject to split valuation then "ls_lips-xchar <> 'X'" is TRUE and you won't get any message.
If your material is batch managed AND also split valuated, then you always specify the stock via the batch and from the batch valuation type comes. So, if batch is given for the (main) item then "ls_lips-charg <> space" is TRUE --> you won't get error message.
If you use batch split then neither batch nor valuation type are defined for the item, so all of these are false...:
ls_lips-xchar '<' '>' 'X'
ls_lips-charg '<' '>' space
ls_lips-bwtar '<' '>' space
...and system will try to read whether batch is defined for batch split items / whether batch split items exist:
READ TABLE it_lips WITH KEY uecha = ls_lips-posnr
TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.
and if there are such batch split items then it means the stock is specified and you can pack the goods.
(using serial number management we can specify the stock more exactly but from this point of view serial numbers don't play any role):

RF device for Yard management

Hi Experts
I have configured yard management in a dev system and could perform all the transations. I am able to do the RF relevant transaction on desktop.
I need to know, how the RF device is connected so that to perform the transactions on RF device and ensure updation in system.
Please provide the information on - Where to get the device, How to conenct it with system, any other technical data relevant to RF device.
warm regards
marias

Hello Marias,
What is consisting in your system landscape? Yard Management as far as i know is part of SAP EWM. What is the RFID middleware coming into your landscape?
I dont think direct device integration is possible. Always RFID middleware ( device integrator and business management layer, SAP AII ) will come for integration. Backend integration will only be possible with SAP Exchange Infrastructure. SAP EWM avails direct integration with SAP Auto Identification Infrastructure.
(SAP AII).

How to Close PO relate Inbound Deliveries w/o posting goods issue?

Hello,
Recently someone helped me in trying to find the status in the ABAP Dictionary of an Inbound Delivery. So thanks!
I have another question, is there a way to close the Inbound Delivery without posting to goods issue or while its still open in the document flow.
I want to ask because the business requirment needs to clsoe these Inbound Delivery Documents for archiving purposes and in SAP they are never closed since the Material Document is created (via MB01) w/o SAP referncing it to the Delivery Document.
I was thinking maybe I can tag a field somewhere or use a BAPI/FM to do this.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you and good day.

You might want to define what exactly do you mean by "close".
As far as I understand, if there has been no goods movement ("goods issue" is for the outbound deliveries, inbound deliveries create "goods receipt", just FYI) or TOs created against a delivery, it can be simply permanently deleted from the database. The corresponding purchase order would then have to be also deleted or somehow rejected (not sure if there is something similar to the SD "rejection reason" in PTP). As an alternative, the PO quantity could probably be changed to 0.
Also it might be an option to change both the received and delivery quantity to 0 and then do "post goods receipt". This should not create any goods movement, but will most likely set the delivery status to 'complete".
Unfortunately, I don't have a system with the deliveries right now to verify these theories...

Hi Joris,
The factory calendar is passed from the ERP to the APO system during
ATP check.
In your system, please do the following:Goto SPRO transaction.
Goto the menu: General settings->Maintain calendar.
Open the calendar '01' for example. Here you can see that the calendar is maintained
until 2010 only. Can you pelase extend this calendar into the future
and the error will not occur.
Hope this helps

Automatic creation of Inbound deliveries per HU

Hi Guys
I am looking for any information on how to automatically create inbound deliveries based on Handling units.
The process is
Create PO
Receive ASN with packing details (e.g. one box = i HU)
Auto creation of one Inbound delivery per HU
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers

Steve
I don't know how you figured out it was me.
The answer you have given believe it or not was what I was expecting as I thought it would need development.
As for the value of this the logistics service provider believe that they can control the out away better with one ID per HU per box etc and also we are putting away in WM first and then 'post goods receipt' to update IM. We have a bespoke transaction where they scan the barcodes from the putaway tags in to a copy of LT11 and they can scan up to 100 lines and then save. When the save is activated the transaction checks first how many Transfer order/Lines are on each inbound and then are all of them confirmed when eventually the answer is Yes the system will then go to the Inbound delivery and post goods receipt automatically.
This is so that the Sales office does not see the stock until it is located as backorder processing runs regularly and we do not want orders and deliveries appearing whilst the putaway process is being carried out, However they do want the stock available ASAP. Therefore it is better for them to have the HU-ID as one to one so that in theory materials become available quicker as if one ID had say 100 materials on it none of them would be available until the last one was put away and confirmed.
I hope this explains it and thanks for your assistance.

Creation of Inbound Deliveries through IDOC

Hello All,
I have a scenario wherein through SPRO the configuration has been set to throw an error message in case a new delivery is getting created through VL31N and the total quantity of the inbound deliveries created till now(including the one getting created now) exceeds the PO quantity , but the same is not applicable for deliveries created through IDOC.
For example : I have a PO with order quantity of 2pc's
I create 2 inbound deliveries each of quantity 1 . Now if i try to create a new inbound delivery through VL31N system throws a error message.
But through an IDOC i am able to create any number of deliveries though the total of all the inbound deliveries exceeds the order quantity in PO.
Is there any way that the same SPRO setting can be made active for Inbound deliveries created through IDOC also.
Helpful answers would definitely be rewarded.
Thanks in Advance,
Sowmya.

IDocs and BAPIs sometimes behave differently than transactions. You might need to add a user exit specifically for IDoc processing. Otherwise send a message to SAP and have them look at it.

TPVS: Inbound Deliveries

Dear experts,
I am facing a problem that I could not easily identify which customizing I am missing.
I am creating Inbound Deliveries from Purchase Orders and these Deliveries are not appearing in my SCM-APO.
Looking into the /SAPAPO/VS_SDSHP table and I can find the Purchase Order.
After creating the Inbound Delivery by using VL31n, it is not being transferred to SCM-APO.
I searched in /SAPAPO/VS_SDSHP and it is not there.
It works fine with Stock Transfer and Sales Orders (outbound deliveries), where I can see both documents.
Is there any special configuration that I have to make to get these Inbound Deliveries?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Thiago Brito

Hi Kiran,
It worked!
I can see the ATP category (AH) foreach inbound delivery that I created.
But now I am facing another problem.
In the Non-Assigned Freight Unit in Tabular planning (/SAPAPO/VS01), all inbound deliveries that I've created in R/3 are being grouped in just one line, increasing (adding 1) in the Shedulling Lines Column.
For example:
PO: 1000001 / 10.000 kg
VL31n:
Inbound Delivery A: 100kg / 07.15.2010
Inbound Delivery B: 200kg / 07.16.2010
In TP/VS - Non Freight Unit view:
Freight Number   Category   Amb Shed Lines Weight
1000001              PO Memo           2                  300kg
But, instead of this behavior I would like to see:
Freight Number   Category   Amb Shed Lines Weight
1000001-1           PO Memo           1                  100kg     <- related to Delivery A
1000001-2           PO Memo           1                  300kg     <- related to Delivery B
How can I create one Freight Unit foreach Inbound Deliveries, not grouping all inbounds deliveries in one freight unit?
Thanks again,
Thiago
