Enhancement to the Counting of Inbound Deliveries (IOT 2)

I did not understand the new features here...
With this feature, the system can determine the destination bin when putting away unpacked stock during the counting of received goods using inspection object type (IOT) Counting Inbound Delivery (IOT 2). To enable this, you assign an external step to the inspection rule you use for IOT 2. Note that to use this feature, you must use decentralized Extended Warehouse Management based on SAP S/4HANA.

PRODUCTION

Distribution Equipment

A new process in SAP EWM that makes it possible to pick stock in one place, load it onto distribution equipment, move it to another place, unload it there and put it away. In essence this is an internal movement of pallets by vehicle within a single warehouse. And instead of a transportation unit there is a new object called "distribution equipment".  The process can also be used to replenish different bins with small quantities. It allows picking straight into several nested HUs on one large pick HU (a pick cart of sorts), then loading it onto the distribution equipment and unloading it in three ways:
- with a product warehouse task for part of the quantity from a nested HU
- with an HU warehouse task for a nested HU
- with an HU warehouse task for the whole large pick HU

To support the process the following internal POSC steps were added:
- DDST distribution equipment: staging
- DDLD distribution equipment: loading
- DDUL distribution equipment: unloading

The functionality is implemented in the class /SCWM/CL_API_DISTRIB_EQUIPMENT

Enhancements to the Warehouse Management Monitor

1. A new method for HUs - the history of warehouse tasks
2. A new method for bins - printing the bin label
3. A method for copying a bin is also announced, but I could not find such a method
4. The system now remembers which nodes were expanded and opens the same ones by default the next time the transaction is entered.
5. A new button for displaying the process codes of an inbound delivery or outbound delivery order item
6. A new method for assigning a carrier to an outbound delivery order
7. A new method for transportation units -  posting goods issue for several TUs in the background. The program /SCWM/R_POSTING_GM is used
8. A new method for outbound delivery orders - creating picking warehouse tasks in the background. The program /SCWM/R_DLV_PDO_CREATE_WT is used

FPS01

MFS

Enhancements to Cross Processes

Since the original problem is not known to me, I cannot judge the change. Here is its original text:
The system determines whether a communication point for a programmable logic controller (PLC) was triggered recently (within 1 minute). If yes, the system doesn't trigger the communication point again when starting the next communication channel of the same PLC. Because of this behavior, if several communication channels of the same PLC are started at once or within a very short timeframe, the system only triggers the communication points once. This behavior helps save system resources when starting the communication channels of a PLC. You can then check the application log to see whether communication points were skipped.
This feature is valid only for a material flow system without synchronization and PLCs for pallet conveyors

1909
