Create Outbound Delivery From Inbound

[Former Member]

Here is the scenario:

We are going to receipt goods into a plant that represents a 3rd party warehouse. Goods may stay from 1 day to 21 days.

These goods are being scanned in with handling units. We may use VL32N or MIGO to confirm receipts. These purchase orders are - purchase to order.

The business is requiring that when the receipt is posted that an outbound delivery with requested ship date is created automatically. Understand delivery due program can generate that. What is not clear to me - is how - associate the handling units from the original goods receipt to the outbound delivery....

Do we use: copy control or the handling unit BADI to perform the packing.

The reason for the handling units is that the 3rd party is going send an interface with what is scanned out. We need to match the HU's to the deliveries and split - what is not shipped onto a separate delivery.

Kind Regards,

Steve Selasky

Hi Steve,

if automatic packing function is enabled for the delivery, then system will genearte a new HU in the pack tab of the delivery. However, if you want to use the same HU as in the IBD, you need to refresh the satus of the HU using the function module and then assign the same HU to the delivery. take the help of technical consultant as there are standard FMs available for packing the material in HU and refreshing the status of the HU. only constraint is that the PGR sloc of the IBD and picking Sloc of the OBD should be same or else you will need to move the HU from the PGR SLoc to picking SLOc before using it.

Still working through this. Does anyone know the function modules to do the following:

Refresh the status of the existing Handling Units.

Pack the handling units in the outbound delivery.

Additional information the handling units are packed inside of a container as well.

Hi,

You can use function module HU_PACKING_REFRESH ,WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE2 for this purpose. Also, you can have a look at this forum thread

Hi,

Check out the code in the following Program : MV50AF0F_VERP_HU - Subroutine : delivery_rehang_hu. This code is used to Rehang HUs from Inbound to Outbound and vice versa . You can call this routine from your program with necessary parameters or leverage the functionality with in it. It uses the FM 'HU_ASSIGN_HUS_TO_OBJECT' to rehang HUs .

Hope that helps

Thanks
