The flowchart provided illustrates an inbound process with inspection an SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. The process involves several key steps and decision points in handling incoming shipments and ensuring quality control of automotive parts in a warehouse:
- Initiation in SAP/4HANA:
- The process begins with the creation of a purchase order in SAP/4HANA, using transaction code ME21N.
- An inbound delivery is then created via transaction code VL31N, which specifies the details of incoming goods.
- Inbound Process in EWM:
- The inbound delivery is transferred to SAP EWM, where it continues processing.
- Unloading Warehouse Task: The process initiates with unloading tasks via transaction code
/SCWM/PRDI
. - Process-Oriented Storage Control (POSC): The flow includes POSC, ensuring that specific tasks are completed post-unloading and pre-storage.
- The warehouse tasks guide the move from the staging area to an inspection work center,
/SCWM/QINSP_S4
.
- Quality Inspection Decision Point:
- At this stage, items undergo inspection within the Quality Inspection Work Center. Two paths emerge based on inspection outcomes:
- If the items pass inspection (Yes): They proceed through Layout-Oriented Storage Control (LOSC).
- If the items fail inspection (No): They are directed to a Rejected BIN for further handling or rework.
- At this stage, items undergo inspection within the Quality Inspection Work Center. Two paths emerge based on inspection outcomes:
- Storage Post-Inspection (LOSC):
- For items that pass inspection, an interim bin step
/SCWM/MON
facilitates further transfer. - Subsequently, these items are directed to their final storage bin.
- For items that pass inspection, an interim bin step
- Outcome:
- The process concludes with the products either being stored in their designated locations if they pass inspection or being placed into a rejected bin if they fail.
Each of the major steps in this process involves specific SAP transactions and configurations designed to ensure efficient warehouse operations and maintain strict quality standards for incoming goods. This vital process enables precise handling and storage of both bulky and smaller components to optimize space and improve operational efficiency in the warehouse.
