Non Commercial Shipment
This artifact will give an overview of how we can simplify Non Commercial Shipments across industry. Non Commercials Shipments are primarily required for Shipping samples, clinical supplies , R&D shipments , equipment and waste disposals.
Below are the process flow of Non Commercial Shipment :
Create Delivery > Create Shipment > Create Profoma Invoice > Receive Export declaration (If export) > Shipment completion.
Since all these shipments are not sold ,no Sales order needs to be created. Rather Outbound delivery can be created without reference (VL01NO)
To differentiate the Non Commercial shipment all the relevant Organization elements has to be created newly. This will also be useful for reporting and monitoring purposes.
High-level Process flow:
Integration/Interfaces :
Non Commercial Shipment process needs to be integrated with following systems.
1) Global Trade System (GTS) :
If the Shipment is for export then ECC has to interface with GTS to get the export declaration from Customs authority.
2) Denied Party Screening (With Amber road- A third party Export on Demand system for screening customers) :
When the Delivery is created, the interface will be triggered to check the correct status of customer whether is it permitted or not. In case of any issues the shipment will be blocked accordingly.
The denied party block can only be removed manually with necessary authorization. If the decision is made to proceed further the delivery should be unblocked further if it is not allowed delivery should be cancelled.
Outbound Interface:
Inbound interface :
Delivery Processing:
Delivery can be created without order reference. User have to maintain header and item data of the delivery (Ship to party, planned GI data, Material ,quantity etc) also enter necessary partners for shipment and necessary pricing conditions.
Delivery document will be promoted to following checks to make sure it is having enough information to proceed with Shipment , Proforma invoice and to get Export declaration from GTS.
Dangerous goods checks:
Dangerous goods check is required for all the materials, to make sure Dangerous goods department or HSE group correctly classify the materials whether it is dangerous good or not. Based on that, it has to be packed accordingly as per guidelines. Workflow can triggered to them to classify. Until decision is made delivery document should be on hold for further processing.
Foreign trade checks:
Foreign trade group needs to involved like Dangerous goods workflow to validate/maintain the Foreign trade related information on the delivery document (like Custom traffic number and Country of origin). Again the delivery document will not be processed further until decision has been made on each time of delivery document.
Packaging checks:
Delivery document will be checked whether packing has been done or not. Until packing done the delivery document will not be processed further. Workflow can be triggered to Packers with Quantity, weight and dimension to ready with packing.
License checks:
For few shipments, as per legal requirements license check is required it should be maintained in delivery document to print in appropriate document.
Once all the blocks are removed ,delivery document can be processed further.
Below are documents can be printed in delivery document:
Proforma invoice and Pack order.
Shipment Processing:
Shipment document can be created for delivery document and forwarding agent can be informed to arrange transport or courier.
Below are the list of documents can be printed in Shipment document:
Pack list
Pick load
Transport Order
Confirmation of receipt
Custom invoice
Proforma Invoice and GTS:
Proforma invoice document can be created from the information received from delivery and Shipment documents. Proforma invoice created for this shipment is for custom purpose only and can be printed.
After Proforma invoice creation the interface will be triggered to GTS system for the export shipment where applicable. This interface trigger will generate a document in GTS system to obtain export declaration from customs authority.
Once all the prerequisite are met in GTS document ,it will trigger interface to Custom authority. The export declaration will then be sent back to GTS system on confirmation and then can be sent to SAP R/3 to attach in Proforma invoice document. Shipment can be updated accordingly.

3PL Inventory reconciliation
Hello everyone,
I am hired as an intern at a chemical manufacturing corp. and working alongside with a local warehousing facility. I am given a task related to SAP WM.
The task at hand is to create a more automated quarterly inventory reconciliation between our stock inventory and the warehouses inventory.
The current method of accomplishing this task is done manually, where the warehouse sends the files to the chemical manufacturing plant and then is compared with their inventory from SAP. Also internally, there is a excel data sheet created but is not user friendly. I want to take this project as a learning experience and to show my director that I am willing to learn and bring something more efficient to the company.
Could you guys help me out.
Best,
Eli Aman

Transfer posting in specific storage type in WM
I have configured the IM Movement 311 to map to a new WM movement type 998 and the business request is that only the inventory in a specific storage type 005 would be considered. Everything works great when all inventory is stored in storage type 005 when there is inventory stored in multiple storage types then we need to go thru the LU04 transaction. In OMLY I've defined a reference storage type search and mapped only storage type 005, but it doesn't appear to be being used.

TO Splitting in Two Step Picking Process in SAP WM
Hi
My Business Requirement is as follows
1) we are using High Racks for Material Storage
2) We want to use 2 step Picking Process in Warehouse
3) The system behavior is that it creates one TO at Pick Operation for one or multiple outbound deliveries and creates one or multiple TO's at Allocation operation for one or multiple outbound deliveries respectively
4) we have checked the TO splitting functionality too.
5) Our Requirement is as follows
We fill the containers for dispatch and the container can accommodate the quantity of the 100 pallets material
So the warehouse users split the workload of the according to the number of pallets
We follow 2 step picking process in SAP WM
But we want to split one TO into multiple TO where system will create one TO for one storage unit and follow 2 step picking in warehouse.
So my transactions will be as given
System will create 100 TO at Pick Operation
User will then move the material to interim storage type and confirm the TO
System will then create another 100 TO at Allocation Operation
User will move the material to 916 storage type and confirm the TO
Can anyone has come across this kind of scenario
or else how to configure the same in SAP WM

TO not linked in inbound delivery note workflow
Hi experts,
I found in the system that I created TO by LT03 accorrding to a delivery note, but the TO is not linked with inbound delivery note, not seen from workflow. So that I could create dozens duplicate TOs for the delivery note. Does any one know how to solve this?

Auto TO not working for few Posting change scenarios
Folks,
We have Auto TO set up for posting changes.
So if we did 343 or 344; the corresponding TO is created and confirmed.
All works good; till
A.) We have blocked stock say two units (same batch) in two different storage bins for a storage type say ACR.
Now we create a PCN for single unit (instead of two; in which case it works good);
It appears that the system cannot 'locate' the source storage bin; since it has a 'choice' of two bins for the same batch.
This is creating issues at our end.
If you go to LU04; you do see a corresponding entry and then create; confirm a TO.
SAP documentation says to do manually; or that was my understanding.
Have gone through note # 566090 (seems old for the current release we are in.).
What are the options in taking care of these scenarios?
Thanks.

Transfer Requirement from LB10 won't disappear
Hello,
Before using the scanners, I had to go I had to go to LB10 in order to close the TRs and move stocks from 902 to shelves/bins.
Right now with the scanners I'm scanning the receptions in order to put materials on the shelves/bins from 902, the documents from LB10 should be closed automatically (I only have to confirm them), but, they don’t.
See ex:
And the stock is already in the right bin,but if I want to go again in order to get rid of those TR,the movements happens again, the stock doubles, and the stock from where I already moved the materials "902" with the scanners is on "-"
Any ideas how to manage this issue?
Thank you,

SAP WM Initial Stock upload with Storage unit
Dear Team,
Please advice the initial stock upload for SAP WM with storage unit(Mixed storage)
I m planning to have MB1C - LSMW with 561 movement type
Then another LSMW for LT01 where material & qty will be entered in initial screen and
in second screen for Source quant will be entered the 998 quant no with storage unit blank
and Destination bin no with required storage unit.
Expecting the storage unit to get created(LEIN table) if doesn't exist in system and update in LQUA table.
If already Storage unit is update for another material in another line item of upload data then system should update the stock with the storage unit.
I have gone through multiple post with Initial upload but couldn't find detail about Storage unit cases.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Plant & stor loc not determined after creating HU without immediate packing
Hi,
During inbound delivery creation / update (VL31N/VL32N) the goods to be received are packed.
For the majority of our goods this is done via automatic packing, but there are also goods for which the quantity per box / pallet can differ, so we pack these manually.
Now whenever we create a HU manually and do not pack it before saving or returning to the inbound delivery screen
the plant and storage location are empty.
Even if we pack at a later stage, the plant and storage location are not (re)determined.
Now if we restart the exercise and pack the manually created HU immediately and we save or return to the inbound delivery screen
the plant and storage location are correctly determined
How could we make sure the plant and storage location are (re)determined in the above situation?
Found a lot of threads that discuss the storage location determination, but none matching to our case.
On OSS I found note 809015, but this is about another scenario and has been already implemented.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards

HU management
Hi,
We are planning to use HU management for our pallets for external tracking and for production staging. Do we need to be registered with GS1 to get a company prefix and then use SSCC as our HU numbers for all internal and external tracking ? I am thinking that for HUs to be tracked worldwide, we have to use the SSCC codes and then male sure all our partners (customers, transportation compnaies) can read that. Am I correct ?
Thanks

Shipment process, differences in actual loaded quantities
Hi Experts,
I hope i have posted this query in the right forum.
I am in the process of configuring the shipment process for bulk deliveries, we are using the SAP standard for shipments, so basically we can create a shipment with several deliveries
It is common practice that the actual loaded or picked quantities can differ due to heat, temparature, as part of the overrral process, we do not allow negative stock, so in practice, we have to make use of transaction VLPOD to maintain the differences for actual loaded quantities
Now the issue i am facing is if we have several deliveries in the truck, how do we split the difference for several items in the shipment, If we only have 1 delivery in the shipment, it will be far easier to account for the difference in VLOPD
Just need a few pointers how to resolve this issue, I understand that the IS-OIL module has a good solution to maintain actual loaded quantities but we do not have any plans to implement this module
Thanks

WM Replenishment Priority - Immediate / Dynamic Replenishment
Hi,
We use immediate replenishment (triggered upon TO confirmation) and auto replenishment (replen job scheduled to create TRs).
This is in an RF environment.
We have the requirement to set a priority on the replenishment TOs, - this then enables users to re-prioritise using the RF Monitor (drag & drop)
Using the LP21 batch job we have the option to set a priority there.....because here we create TRs first.
But with the immediate TOs I can't find any way to set a priority. Which basically means that the immediate TOs cannot be re-prioritised in the RF monitor, but the ones created by the batch job can!
Has anyone had a similar requirement?
Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Guy

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.

LX16 showing the bins having Open TO's
I have a case where LX16 is showing the bins which already have the Open TO's. I noticed that for these bins system status"Transprt active" is not there hence might be the reason to show them in LX16.
Is there any correction report or solution for the same?
