Warehoue Order and Warehouse task

Hello Experts,

I have gone across WT and WO definition.

I know that we can create one WO  for one or several WT as per defined parameters.

But i have below concerns for WT and WO :

1. Do we have to create WO for every WT irrespective of process.

Suppose during GR process i have to follow activities like Unloading,Packing and Putaway.

Here i create WT for all steps,So do i have to create WO for  Unloading,Packing and Putaway ?

2. Can we skip WO for some WT ?

Hi,

have you ever TESTED a process?

"1. Do we have to create WO for every WT irrespective of process."

YOU do not create a WO. When the WT is saved, the system creates a WO.

"2. Can we skip WO for some WT ?"

No. Every WT needs a WO (that is WTs which have a physical movement or posting change. The system creates several WTs without WO, but this is only by the system).

"Which document has to be confirmed first WT or WO ?"

A resource gets a WO for processing and processes all the WTs in this WO. There is no sequence of confirmation.

Hi OM,

Everything is very clearly explained by Juergen and Suraj.You need to run a complete process in system and they try to understand based on the inputs from this thread.

Hope all of your questions are answered and if you do not have any further doubts on this, please close the thread.

Hi OM,

Why you do not want WO?

basically in this WO and WT has different significance.

WT is actual work which has physical location identities.

WO will keep the record of who is doing this work and when and by which queue.

Hi Suraj,

Thanks for your post.

We are not using HU,hence WT are product WT.

Suppose I receive 2 products for two different storage type.

Task performed are unloading ,QI and Putaway.

Here how many WO and at what steps WO shall be created ?

Hi OM,

First if you are using POSC then HU is mandatory. And from your explanation I can understand you are following POSC or step wise putaway.

Copied from EWM 110.

Suppose I receive 2 products for two different storage type.

Ans>> if you use POSC then you will create 2 wt and 2 wo.

Task performed are unloading ,QI and Putaway.

unloading 2 wt and 2 wo and QI 2 as you carry all product to the place and then 2wt and 2 wo as product are going to two different zone.

but remember to do sorting of bins before putaway.

Here how many WO and at what steps WO shall be created ?

Not sure but check once but as per theory below will follow. .... but still will check and confirm.

WO for unload

WO for QI

WO for Putaway.

Hi Suraj,

You mean for every WT we must create WT ? right ?

Which document has to be confirmed first WT or WO ?

Confirming WT will confirm WO ?

or

Confirming WO will confirm WT ?

Hi OM

As far I have seen every WT will have WO.  May be I am  wrong some one can correct me.

now actual assignment of work will be done by WO.

WT shows actual physical movement.

one WO can have multiple wt.

but single WT cant have multiple wo.

now when what will confirm.

1 wo-1 wt movement you will confirm wt, wo will also confirm and also in opposite also possible.

now if you have multiple wt under WO >> if you confirm wo then all wt under it will get confirm. and if you confirm one of wt of wo then wo will show partial confirmation.

I hope now you will get clear idea.

Hi,

1)

For inbound and non-RF environment (working on PC desktop) you basically do not need WO. But you will not be able to assign the workload to any queue and you will not be able to monitor workload by activity area. System allows you to unassign the WT from WO just manually.

2)

During WT creation, system searches for all user defined WOCRs. If there are any tasks left, system uses the remainder rule and always creates at least 1 WO.

If the system defined WO grouping does not fit your needs, you can explore and play with the BADI /SCWM/EX_WHO_CREATE
