By using this business process, you can seamlessly integrate the supply of products to production and the receipt of finished products into your warehouse.
This scope item outlines the integration of warehouse production with synchronous goods receipt, allowing produced products to be posted directly into the warehouse without the need for delivery documents.
Initially, you trigger the staging of materials requested by production, resulting in a posting change delivery within the warehouse-managed production supply area. Subsequent process steps, such as the creation of warehouse tasks, are initiated based on this document. A warehouse operative then moves the material to the production supply area and confirms the warehouse tasks. The goods receipt for the produced items can be posted directly into the warehouse without involving delivery documents. Finally, the finished goods are moved to their final storage bin in the warehouse.
This process offers several business benefits, including:
- Post goods receipt directly into the warehouse without involving delivery documents
- Integrate warehouse execution with manufacturing operations
- Manage stock in production on storage bin level, if necessary
- Attach files (such as pictures) to inbound deliveries and outbound delivery orders
- Control and record movements of products and handling units in the warehouse
- Map your warehouse complex in the system down to a storage bin level
- Improve visibility and control in warehouse processes
With SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2208 Warehouse Management, the quality management process is also fully integrated in this scenario.
