Inbound Activities for In-house Packages
Packages can be received in the warehouse and retained as stock packages.
Production Reporting – Create package in stock
During manufacturing order reporting, produced quantities for package-managed items can be stored automatically in stock packages.
Package management supports the automatic creation of multiple stock packages based on the reported quantity. An outer package, such as a pallet, can also be created. The inner package and outer package are created automatically if the packaging types support automatic creation.
- The stock can be put into an existing stock package by specifying the package number.
- The stock can be placed in a new package by specifying a valid packaging.
- The stock can be put into a package that is placed in an outer package, such as a pallet. The outer package can be an existing package or a new package.
If you do not specify a packaging or package number, 'Item. Connect Packaging' (MMS053) is used to pack the reported goods. This setup can create several new packages during reporting instead of a single package, which is created when you specify one packaging in 'Manufacturing Order. Report Receipt' (PMS050) or 'Manufact Order. Report Order-less' (PMS260). If the reported quantity cannot be packed completely according to the (MMS053) setup, the (PMS050) panel is displayed again with the remaining quantity. You can then specify a new package or packaging.
You can also create stock packages during manufacturing order receipt by using PMS050MI.RptReceipt and PutAway in PMS260MI.
For example:
A manufacturing order exists for a package-managed item.
The item is set up in (MMS053) with a packaging quantity of 10 in BOX.
In (PMS050), specify a container-managed location, and an 'include in' packaging of PALLET, and a quantity of 20.
When the transaction is performed, the system reports a quantity of 20 in two BOX packages. The two BOX packages are then placed on a new pallet.
Package-based Distribution Order Receipt
A package in stock at warehouse 1 can be transferred to another warehouse by using a distribution order. You can also assemble a package that contains package-managed items in warehouse 1 and transfer to the package in stock in warehouse 2 by using a distribution order. The package structure is preserved from the sending warehouse through delivery and is received as a package in stock at the receiving warehouse.
A package structure is distributed from warehouse 1 to warehouse 2 through a distribution order. The distribution order transfers the package structure between the warehouses. One or more order lines are created to represent the content of the package. The distribution order is connected to a delivery, and the package content is allocated to the delivery.
The package structure is transferred to the delivery and dispatched from the sending warehouse. The receiving warehouse can receive the package structure and transfer it to a package in stock. All package information and package content remain intact from the sending warehouse.
To receive and transfer a package structure from a delivery to a package structure in stock, start parameter 555 Package based DO receipt on dispatch policy 'Dispatch Policy. Open' (MWS010). We recommend that you always turn on Package based DO receipt when you work with package-managed items (container method 7 in 'Item. Connect Warehouse' (MMS002)). Package management requires manual DO receipt. Therefore, package management cannot be combined with automatic DO receipt on dispatch policy parameter 220.
You can perform package-based receipt in the receiving warehouse by using 'Goods Receipt DO/RO. Report' (MWS440) or transaction MHS850MI.AddDOPackRec (qualifier 50PA). You can receive packages and package structures individually or receive a complete delivery to preserve the package structure in the receiving warehouse. The receiving warehouse does not require preservation of the inbound delivery package structure. Package structure information can be deleted when you receive items individually or when you receive items to a non-container-managed location.
For example:
Package BOX_090910_002 is issued from warehouse PM1 and sent to warehouse PM2.
In (MWS440), specify option 30, delivery number 1000002565, package number BOX_090910_002, and a container-managed location (010101). Always use option 30 to preserve package information in stock.
You can also use package-based DO receipt with two-step put away.
Package based Purchase Order Receipt
Packages on a purchase order can be received and transferred to packages in stock. An advanced shipment note (ASN) describes the package structure and package content. The ASN is received through EDI and the Warehouse Management Interface (WHI). You can display the inbound delivery, including packages and items, in 'Supplier Delivery Note. Open' (PPS360).
- Specify ASN information by using qualifier 29 in 'Order Init Stock Msg. Manage' (MHS850). On (MHS850/E), specify the receiving warehouse, qualifier 29, message type, partner, delivery note number, delivery note date, supplier, and supplier type.
- Create a package in 'Order Init Package Msg. Manage' (MHS851). Use the package number that will be used in 'Delivery Note. Update Packages' (PPS362). Specify the package level, included package number, and packaging information. If required, specify weight and volume information.
- Create a line in 'Order Init Stock Trans Msg. Manage' (MHS852). For qualifier 29, use panel H. Specify the item number, purchase order number, purchase order line, and quantity.
- In (MHS850), use option 21 to execute the message. The result is a delivery note in 'Supplier Delivery Note. Open' (PPS360), 'Delivery Note. Update Items' (PPS361), 'Delivery Note. Update Packages' (PPS362), and 'Delivery Note. Update Items per Package' (PPS363).
Limitation
- To create packages in stock through package-based receipt, you must create the delivery note in (PPS360) from (MHS850) by using qualifier 29. Delivery notes that 'Serialized Item. Consolidate' (PPS260) creates cannot be used for this purpose.
-
You can perform purchase order (PO) receipt at the delivery note level, package level, or package line level in (PPS360), (PPS361), (PPS362), and (PPS363). Package information for stock is not created when you receive the goods.
- You can perform quality inspection (QI) at the package level in 'Purchase Order. Inspect Goods' (PPS310) or PPS310MI. Two list transactions are available for package-level quality inspection:
- LstQIDataPack lists packages by delivery note number or package number. If the package number is unique, specify the package number. Otherwise, specify the delivery note number and package number.
- LstQIDataSSCC lists packages for quality inspection by Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) number.
Use QualityInspPack to report quality inspection by delivery note number, package number, or both. Use QualityInspSSCC to report quality inspection by SSCC number.
- You can perform putaway at the package level in 'Purchase Order. Put away Goods' (PPS320) or PPS320MI. Two transactions are available for listing putaway assignments:
- LstPADataPack lists putaway assignments by delivery note number or package number. If the package number is unique, specify the package number. Otherwise, specify the delivery note number and package number.
- LstPADataSSCC lists putaway assignments for a package by SSCC number.
Use PutawayPack to process putaway at the delivery note level or package level. Use PutawaySSCC to process putaway for a package by SSCC number.
- You can use all goods receiving flows that include quality inspection, putaway, or both to maintain package information in stock.
You can also use package-based PO receipt with two-step putaway.
