Packaging Item in the Inbound Delivery W/ EWM Integration
Delivery item for packaging materials generated in EWM will be replicated to the ERP. To enable the creation of delivery item in the ERP, the item category determination for USAGE "PACE" must be maintained for the delivery type.
- As of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) 9.1, it is possible to configure the system to automatically generate packaging items based on handling unit (HU) information during delivery processing in a goods issue (GI) process.
- Before the solution for the automatic generation of items for packaging materials was available, it was already possible to create items for packaging materials manually (item type OPAC).
- The activation is not based on the packaging material or product master, but on the packaging material type (which is a field in the product).
- It is a fully automated process - the goods issues posting is automatically done together with the outbound delivery. In case of the deletion of an outbound delivery in SAP EWM, such created packaging items are automatically deleted as well.
- For the outbound delivery in the ERP, the packaging item will be added as packaging item w/o reference. Configuration is necessary for the item category determination (usage PACE).
