Picking Process

Dear Gurus,
Please guide me how to configure the picking process.
Please provide End to End process..................... Please
Thanks

Hi ,
The simple picking process involves taking goods stored within a storage location and staging the right quantity in a picking area for the delivery where the goods will be collated and prepared for despatch.
After a delivery is created the delivery note print output is produced. This acts as both a pick list for the stores and the despatch note for the customer. Once the goods are picked the stores operative confirms the actual pick quantities to the system in the delivery. In cases where there are picking differences the delivery note output can be repeated to produce the despatch note based on the actual pick quantities.
A picking status is recorded in each delivery item for the purpose of scheduling and monitoring the picking process. This status indicates where the item is in the picking procedure (picking has started for item A, for instance). In the system standard settings, it is a prerequisite for a goods issue to be posted that the item has been fully picked. Therefore, delivery quantity and picking quantity (picked quantity) in the outbound delivery must be equal.

Task and Resource Management (TRM) - Replenishment/picking process

Hello everybody,
i need your help. We are implementing TRM module and we are facing issues with replenishment/picking process. We have storage location not HU Managed and wee have the necessity to create task bundle for picking/replenishment process.
Every times TRM make a bundle, it seems that force to execute a pick&pack
Regarding picking process when TRM creates a bundle it forces to specifiy a destination HU that will be inserted in the delivery as handling unit. So in this case we have no problem.
But in the replenishment process we haven't a delivery and so the standard avoid the insertion of HU.
The questions is:
1) Is possibile to have bundle without pick and pack? .
Thank you very much for your attention.
Regards,
Andrea

Hi James,
we haven't pick HU. I think that pick HU is only possibile for storage location HU managed. Our replenishment process foresees:
1) Make a bundle of picking from different source bins until
2) Make a bundle of putatway to different destination bins
So in we are facing two main problems that are driving us crazy:
1) The bundle in TRM works only in the pick and pack scenario. So in our warehouse replenishment (LP22) it doesn't work. A solution could be to make a cluster of task but it's not possibile to managed it in a system guided way. Maybe we have solved this problem by forcing HU numbers in the standard fields even if don't exist at IM or WM level. It's a dirty solution, i know.
2) Other problem is to manage a pick and drop. Operator could executed the picking bundle and then leave the mixed pallet in a drop-off point. Next an other operator has to scan the serial number of mixed pallet and put each material to a different bin.
Stantdard system can create only one task with the mixed pallet composed to the final destination while we have the necessity ti have n task.
I don't know if it's clear and someone could helps us in order to implement the scenario described above.
Other problems is that it seems impossible to develop custom functionalities in TRM because frequently the next step in the Logical transaction is harcoded in the standard code
Bye Bye,
Andrea

Picking process in OPM Batch

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.

NStep Picking Process

In Sales Order Picking Process, business needs to have 2 step picking.
Step-1: Pick the goods from the source locator (suggested by the picking rule), drop into the EOA of the source locator (Step-1)
Step-2: Pick the goods from the EOA and put into the staging locator (Step-2)
As Oracle does not have nStep picking process we are doing by the following way.
Picking from the source locator (suggested by the picking rule) and dropping into the EOA but this EOA is static not the EOA of the source locator.
Performing staging move from the EOA to the actual staging lane.
But the problem is that how the second user (who will pick the goods from EOA to put into the staging locator) will come to know from mobile device, which EOA he has to go to pick the goods to put into the staging locator.

Could you please explain me what steps need to be done for picking process in OPM batch?

2 Step picking process

Hi All,
My understanding of the 2 step picking process is as follows ...Please validate if this can still be lean in terms of nos steps that need to be performed...
1. Create Wave Pick VL35 / VG01   create group / create from VL06O by selecting all the deliveries
    LT72 --Determine 2-step relevance
    LT73 --Display 2-step relevance
    LX39 --2-step picking monitor
    VL37 --- wave monitor ---Hit Picking progress for to it
*Removal part*
2. LT0E -- Creating removal TO with MvTyp 850
      One Removal TO created
      Now check TO with LT21 ....notably Dest Storage typ 200
      Now again check LX39 ---drill-down the tree structure of the Pick Section ....TO created ...not yet confirmed
                                   --- Allocation section --procedure not yet started
3. Now do LT12 ---for confirming the TO upon the physical PICK
       Then check LX39 ---Pick section is all green
Allocation Part
How to identify & assign which item in the 200 stg typ area belong to which Delivery...Plz enlighten
4. Now do LT42 for the group 20000***** --Start Multi Processing to create equal nos of TO for each deliveries in the group
    Confirm those TOs
    Have a look at LX39 again ---Allocate section will be Green
===============================================================================================
What are the two choices to carry out the second step ??
Choice 1.... You can start the multiple processing function to create transfer orders for the group and move them all at once using multiple processing to the appropriate goods issue area.
(TransOrder ® 2-step picking ® Allocation/Direct picking ® Start group)
Choice 2.... When you release the group, (TransOrder ® 2-step picking ® Allocation/Direct picking ® Release / Print) you can select Allocation or Direct separately in a dialog box to move the materials for the second step. You can also print from this option.
Can anybody explain these 2 Chioces please ?
Regards
Jamna

Partial Transfer Order Confirmation on Picking Process

We are on the picking process with a delivery and a tranfer order. Movement type MM/WM 601.
We have a transfer order item line for 10 units.
We would like to confirm 7 units against one handling unit and the other 3 units against a different handling unit.
We are using RF transaction pick&pack LM46.
The problem is that we don´t know how to split the line item in 2 different items within the transfer order.
We don´t want to confirm the TO with differences and create a new TO for the remaining 3 units. We don´t want either to confirm the TO using LT12 because the process has to be done trough standard SAP RF.
Could anyone help, please?

hi kumar
If you feel this answer suits your query. Please reward with points.
Transfer order confirmation based on shippingpoint
answer: no the transfer creation not at all based on shipping points.
The transfer confirmation you have to in lt12 transcton with teh rransfer order number. creation of transfer you can do in lt03 transaction with reference to the delivery frrom you will get transfer order number after that you have to confirm, so please work on that,
I hope this answer solve your query.
Thanks & Regards

File pick & process in sequence

Hi Experts,
We have a problem on client site, the problem is that we are picking files from FTP Server.
The files are related to sales order and shipping notification. Both are on FTP system & sent at same time at FTP.
Some times Shipping notification is running first & sales order is not there, so it is going in Error.
How I can run these file in order ?
Study SAP

hi,
>>>Let the processing Mode be BY NAME and now the file will be processed sequentially
Processing Sequence (for transport protocol File System (NFS))
(it only works with NFS)
this does not make a lot of sense:
a) what if the sales order comes to the folder a second after the shippment?
b) what about EOIO in IDOC adapter?
c) EOIO should always be avoided is there are some other alternatives
so the best way to do it is to schedule a restart in ERP I blieve and not go into EOIO at all

Report for field sammg and refnr in two step picking

Hello Experts,
I have configure two step picking which is working fine.
But my concern is when I create a group from deliveries using VL06P, an five digit number (23717) is generated. But while putting same group number in LT72 screen for analysis or doing LT0E, I am getting en error that "this group number is not existing in system.
Then I have to go to SE16 and search in table T311. Then I found that there are two group number in this table which technical name are REFNR and SAMMG. So I have to pass 23717 in SAMMG field and note down the number (17) from REFNR field and process with REFNR number.
So is there any report whether I can get the same (when I pass SAMMG number I will get REFNR number) because my business user don't have access to SE16 again it is not acceptable to business.
Or is there anyway by which I can assign same number to both SAMMG and REFNR, so that my client will refer only one number in stead of two number.
I am hereby attaching one test data. Kindly go through it and revert to me with your analysis.
Best Regards,
Raghu Nayak.

as an standard SAP you should be able to process the group number(23717) it seems there is some other setting / customization or you are following any additional steps in your system which generates the another number in Group (REFNR) field of T311 as in my case i am getting the same number in both the Group field

Hi Experts,
I have a mail to file scenario where I need to pick all emails with subject as "Send to Business Partner".
I have seen one mail attribute SHeaderSUBJECT.
Can I use this attribute to set a condition like SHeaderSUBJECT = "Send to Business Partner" some where in configuration?
Regards.

Hi Hareesh,
I am OK with that approach, but need to pick based on email subject.
I have seen one of my previous project where if i send an email with "PI Process" subject then it was picking processing in PI.
But i am not recollecting exactly what to do to get the same.
Any other ideas please.

Empty file picked although file have lot of data in file adapter SAP PI

Hello All,
We are facing the weired behaviour of SAP PI file adapter channel.
In without mapping Scenario of 7.31
At some time whole file is archived properly in archive folder but in SAP PI log we can see the file size 0 bytes.
And at received side empty file will be sent.
But in actual there is lot of data in the file.
The same file triggered next time then it working fine.archived and sent as it is.
So can anybody help me for this ?what is the issue why sometime file with no data is picked by PI?
If file is pick up by PI before it is written completely by third party then is it possible that archived file will have all data as it although processed empty ?
Thanks in advance,
Anant

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
I know this is common issue of file picking before completing the process of file writting and also i can use Msec to wait before modification check for avoiding this but
my question is how the archived folder have the file with all data that sender is sending.
So is it possible that empty file (before compete writting )is picked up by sap pi and then after completing the picking process it will archive the file that is completely written by third party in source folder.
In other way file picking & File archiving is separate process means file that is picked is not archived but once pi processed the file then it will again check the source folder and archive and delete the same file.
Thanks

The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Create Delivery:a. Picking - The picking process involves taking goods from a storage location and staging the right quantity in a picking area where the goods will be prepared for shipping.
b. Packing - Packing is part of delivery- and shipment processing. When you process a delivery, you can select delivery items for packing and assign them to handling units (HUs).
c. Goods Issue - As soon as the goods leave the company, the shipping business activity is finished. This is illustrated using goods issue for outbound deliveries.
Billing - Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.

ECC WM Wave picking- reversal once Group is released

We have a wave picking process, wherein a number of shipments are grouped into a wave pick Group.Group is generated
-The transfer orders are generated from VL37 (Wave pick monitor).
-A consolidated pick list is printed by releasing the Group.
-The pick list is then used for the physical pick in the warehouse and transfer orders are confirmed by RF.
The scenario is, something goes wrong after the group is released and pick list is printed.Users want to reverse/cancel the transfer orders and amend delivery.Once done, deliveries need to be assigned to a new Group, so that a fresh pick list can be printed.
The issue in the above scenario is, once the Group is released, we are not able to dis-associate the deliveries from the Group.The error message is 'Change cannot be made due to status of reference number 103 2000000009
Message no. VL826'
As deliveries cannot be removed from the released Group, the deliveries cannot be assigned to a new Group.
Is there a way to get around this?
Thanks,
Bikram

WM - Two Step Picking

Hi experts,
I have a problem with a program I'm creating.
In this program I'm doing a call transaction to LT03 for an outbound delivery.
When I do that, the message number L3 720 "2-step picking relevance will be removed since no relevant group" which is normally a Warning Message is appearing as an error message.
When I go through debugging, in the code, it also appears as a warning message, but when I execute it online it appears in red.
Does any one has an idea on that issue ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Remi

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
All the materials go through a two step picking process in my business process.
So each time I create a picking process, It is put in customizing that the field "Relevant for 2 step picking" is marked by default.
The problem that I have is when I want to do a picking without the 2 step process.
It is a warning standard message, and It's working fine online but when I'm doing it through function module L_TO_CREATE_DN, instead of a warning message, the systems shows it as an error message and does not let me go through the rest of the process.
Moreover when I go through the debugging function the message is MESSAGE W720 where W is "Warning".
I don't understand why online, the system gives me a warning message and through function module, the system gives in the code a warning message that appears as an error message on screen.
I anyone has an idea it would help me.
Thanks.
Remi
