Opportunistic Cross Docking ( Inbound Driven )

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

I'm having troubles here, first of all, i've done the whole configuration for opportunistic cross docking. When i create putaway tasks for products, it's working fine, but when i try to create a putaway task for a packed inbound delivery it doesn't work in other words when i try to create the putaway task for the HU it doesn't work.

Am I figuring it wrong or the inbound driven opportunistic cross docking only works with product tasks ( warehouse request tasks )?

Besides of these process tests, i have debbuged ( i'm an ABAP too ) the whole process and have discovered that the function module /SCWM/TO_PREP_WHR_UI_INT ( which is called by /SCWM/PRDI to create the tasks ) doesn't has the structure of cross docking for HU tasks. Code below....

IF NOT lt_prepare_hu_int IS INITIAL.

*       Prepare putaway TO for HU

         PERFORM prepare_hu_to USING    iv_lgnum

                                        iv_mode

                                        iv_squit

                                        iv_bname

                                        iv_wtcode

                                        iv_filter_hu

                                        is_param

                                        iv_process

                                        lt_prepare_hu_int

                               CHANGING et_ltap_vb.

       ENDIF.

       IF NOT lt_prepare_whr_int IS INITIAL.

*       Prepare putaway/pick TO for warehouse request

         PERFORM prepare_whr_to USING    iv_lgnum

                                         iv_process

                                         iv_mode

                                         iv_mve_mat

                                         iv_mve_hu

                                         iv_mve_hu_mult

                                         iv_route_crea_prod_lb

                                         iv_squit

                                         iv_full_pick

                                         iv_bname

                                         iv_wtcode

                                         iv_wave_release

                                         lt_prepare_hu_int

                                CHANGING lt_prepare_whr_int

                                         et_doc

                                         et_ltap_vb

                                         et_whr_items_cd.

         et_open_qty =  gt_whr_open_qty.

       ENDIF.

Am i missing something here? Could someone help me with this please?!

Hi Rafael,

for the opportunistic CD warehouse tasks the system will create product-WTs: HU-WTs will only move the HU, but here the stock needs to be assigned to a different document, this is only possible with product-WTs.

One possible example: The stock still belongs to inbound delivery (you can see the reference document in stock attributes for example in the EWM monitor) and putaway is not done. An ODO comes in, where exactly this stock is requested. During pick WT creation this inbound-stock can be used - also an existing putaway-WT should be cancelled.

Best regards,

Matthias
