Advanced Warehouse Outbound Processing to Customer (1VD)
This warehouse process optimizes the process of picking products and sending them to external customers by leveraging extended functionality of SAP S/4HANA Warehouse Management. It extends the basic warehouse inbound process with wave management and transportation unit handling.
The process usually starts with the creation of a sales order and an outbound delivery, which is later used to trigger the outbound processing in the warehouse. Based on defined criteria, the system automatically combines items from the outbound warehouse requests in waves. The Warehouse Clerk (EWM) releases the picking waves by using the warehouse monitor. The system determines the location for picking the stock and allocates the stock to the warehouse task. At the same time, the system automatically makes sure that all goods for a customer are routed to the same place at the packing work center, where shipping Handling Unit labels and content lists are printed. The Shipping Cockpit is used to create transportation units (TU), to check them in and to assign the TUs to a door. After goods are loaded the system posts goods issue for all stock that was loaded on the TUs. At the end of the process, follow-up actions (such as the creation of the billing document) are executed.
