WM cross docking and yard management

Dear Gurus,
Any body here could explain me step by step configaration of WM--Cross docking and Yard Management.
Any help will be rewarded.
Regards,
SAP.

Hi,
hum, this is a bit huge to reply.
Yard is working as cross-docking with a single WM.
Cross-dock needs :
A WM configured
WM movement types to be dedicated
More tricky, it needs to have the Goods receipt sequence to be modified. The goods receipt must be setup to be done before the TO gets created
Yard is more straight forward.
Yard site related to WM
Define the Yard map: The doors, parking spaces... (nota: Maintain the yard doors from the WM customizing. It is a WM location before all.)
some vehicles (Material group, ...)
Some master data. The trucks, the trailers...
To keep in mind:
a truck is an handling unit.
The relation between a delivery and a truck is done with handling units.
The relation between CD and Yard: At CD Decision time, a Yard scheduling activity will be created. Therefore a WM door will booked.
Hope this provides a starting point to you

Re: WM cross docking and yard management

Is there a way to stop automatic scheduling in Yard Management.
Can someone explain how you can schedule a vehicle without first check-in in Yard management.

Cross-Docking and VAS

Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone has experience working with both Opportunistic/Planned Cross-Docking and VAS directly in ECC.
How do they integrate with each other?
At my client we are going to use VAS to handle repacking at GR at storage type 923. After the VAS task has been completed and the second TO is created for the putaway, I'm hoping this will trigger cross-docking (either OCD or PCD).
Is anyone else doing this - are my expectations correct?
Regards,
Mark.

Opportunistic Cross-Docking and Transfer Requirements

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up opportunistic cross-docking sent sent GR stock directly to the production supply areas when there is a shortage of inventory in the warehouse.
The PSAs are replenished with a manual KANBAN call which generates a TR with 350 mvt type.
I'm struggling to ge this to work, and when I read the SAP Help on opportunistic cross docking the process flow keeps discussing that the system searches for relevant TOs, not TRs...... but then I know you can do planned cross-docking for GR to TR - I've set this up before.
Has anyone done the same and might have tips for me?
Regards,
Mark.

Hi Mark,
I am also looking for a solution / guidline of this scenario.
Could you please tell me if you have implemented this in the meanwhile?
Thank you! Regards

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.

Rajendra

Cross Docking for stock category Q (inspection stock)

Hello everyone,
My client uses cross docking in 4.7 release and recently a requirement came up where they wanna be able to cross dock stock received from production while the User Decision from QM is still pending.
I have tried to walkthrough the code behind planned/opp cross docking and realised that only available stock is taken into consideration.
I d be really grateful if anyone could suggest how to best approach and tackle this issue? Please consider that the quant should not lose the inspection lot number so that once UD is given, the stock category changes automatically.
Thank you
Kind Regards

Yes it is possible. In the IM/WM interface tables, in the second table, you can vary the process according to stock status. See the third column.
LogisticsExecution \ Warehouse Management \ Interfaces \ Inventory Management \ Define Movement Type
Following is the config. help text for the field
Special Stock Indicators for Whse Mgmt
Use
In the Materials Management system you can post different transactions using one movement type. For example, posting goods receipt to unallocated stock or goods receipt to
stock in quality inspection.
These transactions are treated differently by the system on the basis of this indicator. Together with other indicators of a movement type in the Materials Management system, this indicator is used to correctly allocate a movement type in the Warehouse Management system so that the transaction can be posted accordingly.

Nick

Cross docking functionality in SAP F&R

Hi All,
    I want to know how the cross docking functionality is handled in SAP F&R.
   Whether I should give RP type 11 in store level and RP type 01/02 in DC level for these cross docking products?
   Whether anyone has done the dynamic allocation functionality for cross docking products in which there should be an option to send the latest Order proposal values to ECC from SAP F&R so that STO s can be done with those new OP values?
Regards,
Resmi Raj.

Hi Eduardo,
Thanks for your reply. I have the similar scenario
Herein, we have kept relationship as mentioned below
Article: 100050
Store: FRS4
DC: FRD4
Vendor - TESTVEND1
For Vendor -> DC, we have maintained the distribution profile as FTM (Cross docking) and the RP type for article as 01
For DC -> Store, we have maintained RP type as 11
Now when we have updated the consumption data for both DC & store for the article at DC / store. We ran FRP for both DC (FRD4) and store (FRS4). The order proposal was getting created correctly for store, while no order proposal was created for DC as per the RP type.
Now, how is it being classified as a Cross docking scenario as we expect that the OP (STO's), once their inbound delivery is created, then they should be cumulated in ECC and generated a collective PO for Cross docking. Is that correct. Also, can you please let know the exact process to be followed for the same.
thanks
Best Regards
Prashant

Cross-Docking Config.

I am working on Cross-docking scenario in ECC system and I am stuck at "Generating a Cross-Docking" Decision. This is the 6th step as per Best Practice GZ6.
What are config settings that should be maintained to generate a decision?
I have maintained General Settings of Cross-docking at WAMS and got stucked at Monitoring settings.
Kindly help.
Thanks!

W71 is a BPP for executing Opprotunistic Cross Docking and, quite frankly, I found it makes no sense at all. It has a step to create an Outbound Delivery using MB1A - VL10B is usually used to ccreate and Outbound Delivery. MB1A just creates a Goods Issiue. The same applies the the step for creating an Inbound Delivery - MB1C??? That creates a Goods Receipt - not a Delivery.
The best I've found for actually setting up Cross Docking is:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/3e/49503e30a9d549e10000000a114084/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_rc10/helpdata/en/6f/dadd4424b711409384ce2382728f57/content.htm
Even still, I have run into a problem allowing the Goods Receipt of an Inbounde Delivery prior to confirming the WM Transfer Order. The steps in the config doc show where it should be set, but it is in the Handling Units section of the IMG. The documentation implies this should work for non-HU receipts as well. I keep getting the error that the GR cannot be completed because the WM TO is not complete.
I'm still looking for an answer to this.

Goods marking on cross-docking orders

Dear colleagues,
Will you please help me with another conceptual issue in IS-Retail? I thought that the difference between the cross-docking and flow-through was that the goods are not repacked in the former case, i.e. the vendor marks the final destination of the goods (the store), so that the DC can merely move the parcel from the receiving ramp to the dispatch ramp and send them further.
However, I see that the system generates vendor orders for the total quantities per article (no split of the total quantity per store). I wonder then how the vendor will know how to pack the goods and mark them with the address of the end destination?!
Or otherwise, what is the idea of cross-docking?
TIA
Raf

H Rafael,
I understand your question. I was not clear earlier. If I work through your example, Let us say you have 3 stores - A, B and C
and you have ordered 12 units - 4 for each Store. The Vendor has only 9 units.
Now we have the following options -
A) You agree with this vendor on predetermined rules to distribute in case of under delivery. You could decide to distribute proportionally (standard adjustment profile) or a custom version (your own function module) which kicks in at Goods Receipt automatically.
B) You do not have a predetermined rule and hence the Vendor contacts you to ask for instructions, this would mean you would give a manual instruction on the rule to be used. In this case I would rather do a manual distribution than an automatic one at GR. However this option is not optimal for any business as the whole point of cross-docking and SLS automation is to avoid manual communications with the Vendor.
Ideally I would do the following. Sit with the Vendor who would pre-pack and agree the set of predetermined rules that will be applicable. For example - You could have one rule for all Mens Clothing, and another for Womens Shoes. etc.
You can then use your Custom Function module to pick the right rule based on the article and apply the rule at the GR. Since the rules are agreed in advance with the Vendor, the Vendor would have packed the right quantities.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Naveen

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.
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SCM/ExtendedWarehouseManagement
Cheers,
Sarvesh

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.

Transporttaion Cross Docking between EWM and ECC across company codes

Seceanrio is as follows:
We have an EWM managed site in GB, and an IM managed site in IE.
We would like to use the transportation cross docking solution from within Service Parts Management to transfer goods from GB to IE, (ECC > EWM > ECC) across company codes.
Is this possible within the standard SAP solution?
Thanks in advance,
Craig Bramhald

Hi Hari
Inter Company Purchase scenario works when the same material exists in both the company codes... I dont know how SAP would manage this in the case of Assets, when the Same Asset No is not existent in the other Co Code...
However, Refer 1523976 PurchaseOrderERPRequest_In_V1:Asset account assignment fails
This applies to EhP4 / EhP5 - But I dont know if you are using the enterprise service PurchaseOrderERPRequest_In_V1 ....
If not, better create an OSS message to SAP and check with them mentioning the notes that you have mentioned in your message

Process Yard and Wave management

Hi Experts,
I have learnt EWM Module.
But i dont know how to process for yard and wave management.
can anyone please share some process steps... I have confiquered everything by checking help.sap.com
thanks in advance....

Hi Shiva
you can read all about wave in EWM 120 and at the same time go to good issue and wave management in EWM SPRO. customize your wave cat and wave type and then go to wave tcode.
/scwm/wave and add WR in it. As you relase wave WT+ WO will be created for grouped or single del.
Wave documents are used to group delivery items and to create WTs and WOs for
the group of delivery items at the same time. This allows optimization of the picking
efficiency and also eases monitoring and tracking of the outbound process.
I hope this will be good for wave to move forward.
by creating wave template and wave determination condition wave can be automated.
when you want to automate wave master data , config and PPF action need to work out.
for yard management what you want to know.
with parking or without parking of Veh/TU.

How to install / activate 'Yard Management' and BC sets

Hi everyone
I've been asked to look into how to install/activate
'Yard Management' for business warehouse. From what I've found so far online/in SDN forums, it looks like you need to activate it under Logistics Execution in SPRO. But it's not there... so looks like I need to install the necessary 'BC sets' ??
I've found a spreadsheet for 'W70 Yard management' with some
technical names for these BC sets, like
/SMB30/LYYRD_V_B031_D70, /SMB30/T30B_V_B032_D70 etc.
Any idea what these are / whether and where you can get them
(downloadable from SAP??) what transaction you use etc???
Thanks!
Ross (Basis guy)
Edited by: Ross Armstrong on Jun 18, 2008 9:13 AM
It seems we need this on a 4.7 SAP system, whereas this other docs/installing via Best Practices seems to be for ECC5 onwards... any ideas anyone?

You should activate 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN (and all necessary objects). Use this as starting point for customizing your own template. Then use SPRO transaction RSCUSTV27 to change fields "Broadcasting" and "Ad Hoc Analysis" to your customized templates.
Activate and customize 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCAST_PDF if you need to broadcast PDF's. There's no place SPRO that I know of where you can configure this to use a custom template.
You don't need 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING70. It's labeled 70 but in fact it's a 3.5 web template.

USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?

OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.
