EUS and EUD in the inbound and outbound flow

In the inbound flow, an EUD is displayed on purchase orders and the related inbound orders and receipts. After a receipt is confirmed, the EUD and the EUS linked to the EUD is displayed in inventory. For lot-controlled items, the EUD and the linked EUS are displayed in the Item - Lot (whltc1100m000) session. For serialized items, the EUD and the linked EUS is displayed in the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session.

In the outbound flow, the EUS is displayed on originating demand orders such as sales orders and contract deliverables. The EUS is passed on from the originating demand order to the related outbound order lines and shipments.

If an outbound order line is linked to an EUS, only inventory with a matching EUS can be advised.

When a purchase order is created to fulfill a demand order such as a sales order or a contract deliverable, the EUS linked to the EUD of the purchase order and the EUS of the demand order are the same.

The EUS linked to the EUD of the purchase order is also linked to the lot codes or serial numbers of the items received in inventory for the purchase order. Therefore, when outbound advice is created for an outbound order line of the originating demand order, the inventory received for the purchase order is advised.

EUS and EUD compliance checks

Various trade compliance checks are performed during the inbound and outbound goods flow.

When a receipt or a receipt line is confirmed, or a user selects the Check Document Compliance option for a receipt or a receipt line, a trade compliance check is performed for the EUD of the received items. In this check the validity of the license, if present, and the approval of the EUD is verified.

When a shipment or a shipment line is confirmed, or the Check Document Compliance option is selected for a shipment or a shipment line, a trade compliance check is performed for the EUS of the shipment or shipment line. In this check the validity of the license, if present, and the approval of the EUS is verified.

If the compliance checks for the EUS or the EUD fail, the shipment or the receipt cannot be confirmed until the validation errors are corrected. The compliance check results are displayed in the Document Compliance Check Results (tcgtc1510m000) session.

Handling units

For handling units that contain in-inventory lot controlled or serialized items, the EUS and EUS data of the originating demand order are displayed in the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) and Handling Units (whwmd5630m000) sessions. All handling units within a handling unit structure refer to the same EUS.

When repacking handling units in inventory, the repacked handling units must refer to the same EUS.

Cycle counting and inventory adjustments

For cycle counting and inventory adjustments, you can implement a mandatory approval step that must be performed prior to processing a cycle counting order or an inventory adjustment order.

Declaration control statements

Declaration control statements can be printed as an addition to various documents, such as Bills of Lading and packing slips.

When a shipping document is printed for an item that is subject to trade compliance, a declaration control statement is printed on the shipping document if these conditions apply:

  • The declaration control statement is active on the date the shipping document is printed.
  • The declaration control statement is linked to these entities:
    • The item and effectivity unit
    • The ship-to country
    • The type of shipping document
    • The item classification type, such as EAR or ITAR

Declaration control statements are defined in the Declaration Control Statements by Country (tcgtc0136m000) session. Item classification types are linked to items in the Item Outbound Compliance Data (tdgtc0110m000) session.
