What transactions can be used to receive a pallet of documents for retention purposes that is not an inventory item?

Hi,

can you please elaborate your requirement in details?

You write "receive" and you write "not an inventory item" - these do not go much along.

EWM knows items, which are not Putaway relevant, but it is always kept on a stock.

Thank you,

Petr,

Thank you for the question, I think it is easier to explain my current process which I hope you can translate into SAP EWM processes.

I currently have a SKU description of THIRD PARTY STORAGE, this SKU is always a quantity of 1 for stock check purposes. This SKU can be many things but not inventory (in the sense of not a component or finished good). The pallet can be documents for retention, samples for QC, trial parts etc. This pallet can be received onto the WMS without a Purchase Order number, the SKU is set up to be able to be received 999999 times before a re-set is necessary. The SKU has a putaway algorythm for the high bay warehouse and is sub-zoned into an aisle.

I hope this clarifies what I'm asking for in SAP.

If I understand correctly your requirement, the process is mostly manual.

As you write the SKU can be many things, I understand you have one virtual product number for multiple non-stock items.

If my understanding is correct, I would suggest to pack the item in the inbound delivery order into a handling unit with a text description to give some identification to the stock.

/SCWM/PRDI - Inbound Delivery - Follow On Functions - Pack

Then in /SCWM/TODLV_I you can create putaway task manually (do not save it right away). System will propose you a destination bin based on the putaway control indicator and you can change it to your wish.

For other parameters you can keep the standard settings.
