In this article I describe the possible ways of picking up a warehouse order for execution in the RF environment, and the algorithm SAP EWM uses to select an order.
About a year ago one more SAP product – EWM – was included in the SAP Influence program. The idea behind the program is simple: any user of the system, customer or partner, can submit a request to change functionality, publicly visible on the portal. Registered users of that portal can vote for the requests they like. The requests that collect the most votes are implemented by SAP in one of the following releases. The first package of changes has been implemented and released to the public in the form of SAP Notes. They can also be installed all at once by applying a support package.
In this article I describe the algorithm for selecting stock in goods issue processes (batches aside), starting from the moment the outbound delivery order (referred to below as the ODO) is created, so as to identify every field that influences the stock selection.
Loading in SAP EWM is the process of recording that packed goods have been loaded onto a means of transport. Only handling units holding stock that is assigned to an outbound delivery order can be loaded.
The consolidation group in SAP EWM is used in outbound processes to determine which delivery items may be packed together into one handling unit.
