 RSS Feed Purpose

The purpose of this article to understand INBOUND POSC and how does it work
in EWM. In this blog post I will discuss the configuration and master data settings
in EWM for one of the Inbound process consisting of multi-step movements.

In this Inbound POSC Scenario we discuss about Deconsolidation/Re-pack

process of a product. Here we received a product packed inside HU from the
supplier and before placing the product to final bin, we first take out the
product from the HU and re-pack in different HU and placed it in final bin.

CONFIGURATION: –

1.1 Define Process Oriented Storage Control:

In this area, maintain storage process with external steps and process-
oriented storage control.

Define Process Oriented storage control

11/21/22, 11:28 AM Embedded EWM – Inbound POSC (Multi-step movements) | SAP Blogs

Here we can use Standard External steps also (IB01, IB02, IB03)

1.2 Define Storage Process:

After Creating Storage process, we need to assign External process codes to

storage process. As shown below-

1.3 Define Process Oriented Storage Control:

1.4 Define Warehouse Process Type:

PATH: Spro—IMG—SCM EWM—EWM—Cross process setting—Warehouse Task—

Define Warehouse Process Type

Here we define WPT for put away process and assign storage process to it,
means sequential multi-step trigger to finish the process.

1.5 Define Control Indicator for Determining Warehouse Process Type:

PATH: Spro—IMG—SCM EWM—EWM—Cross process setting—Warehouse Task—

Define Control Indicator for Determining Warehouse Process type.

1.6 Determining Warehouse Process Type:

PATH: Spro—IMG—SCM EWM—EWM—Cross process setting—Warehouse Task—

Determine Warehouse Process Type

Here the system determines the WPT according to Document type, Item type,
Delivery priority and Process type determination control indicator.

1.7 Define Storage type for Work center:

PATH: Spro—SCM EWM—EWM—Master Data—Define Storage Type

https://blogs.sap.com/2020/05/22/embedded-ewm-inbound-posc-multi-step-movements/ 4/19
11/21/22, 11:28 AM Embedded EWM – Inbound POSC (Multi-step movements) | SAP Blogs

Here one Storage type with role “work center” is required to assign work
center to execute deconsolidation process.

1.8 Define Work center:

1.9 Create Storage Bin for Work center:

Storage bin is required to assign for work center, this storage bin create
against storage type, which is assigned to work center.

TEST CASE

3.1 Create Inbound Delivery:

Transaction: VL31N

https://blogs.sap.com/2020/05/22/embedded-ewm-inbound-posc-multi-step-movements/ 8/19
11/21/22, 11:28 AM Embedded EWM – Inbound POSC (Multi-step movements) | SAP Blogs

Once Material is packed then click on SAVE button. Inbound deliver is

transfers to EWM.

3.2 Maintain Inbound Delivery:

Transaction: /N/SCWM/PRDI

To view HU detail, click on HU TAB to view the HU details.

11/21/22, 11:28 AM Embedded EWM – Inbound POSC (Multi-step movements) | SAP Blogs

Create Warehouse Task

Here HU is mandatory to work with POSC. HU Warehouse task creates for

Warehouse request (IBD), Where Source is “DOOR” and Destination is “GR-
STAGE”

3.2 Check Monitor for WT details:

 Transaction: /N/SCWM/MON

Warehouse monitor provides WT information with reference to inbound

delivery.

https://blogs.sap.com/2020/05/22/embedded-ewm-inbound-posc-multi-step-movements/ 10/19
11/21/22, 11:28 AM Embedded EWM – Inbound POSC (Multi-step movements) | SAP Blogs

Once confirm the WT (UNLOAD), there new WT’s will be created, one is
Confirmed WT and other is Waiting WT.

Once confirm the open WT, HU will be available at deconsolidation work

center.

3.3 Deconsolidation at Work Center:

Transaction: /N/SCWM/DCONS

https://blogs.sap.com/2020/05/22/embedded-ewm-inbound-posc-multi-step-movements/ 11/19
11/21/22, 11:28 AM Embedded EWM – Inbound POSC (Multi-step movements) | SAP Blogs

Now create new HU for transferring the materials from old HU to new HU.

Now Enter the Source HU, destination HU (new/empty HU) under

Deconsolidation Tab & select open WT

https://blogs.sap.com/2020/05/22/embedded-ewm-inbound-posc-multi-step-movements/ 12/19
11/21/22, 11:28 AM Embedded EWM – Inbound POSC (Multi-step movements) | SAP Blogs

Now, Open WT appear under “Deconsolidation” tab

NOTE: It is possible to change Qty of open WT, system will create a new WT for
QTY. Once executed, product will be packed in new HU (Destination HU).

https://blogs.sap.com/2020/05/22/embedded-ewm-inbound-posc-multi-step-movements/ 13/19
11/21/22, 11:28 AM Embedded EWM – Inbound POSC (Multi-step movements) | SAP Blogs

Until ‘complete HU step ‘for individual HU’s, deconsolidation will not be

completed.

Once after complete HU steps, then only waiting WT will be opened.

Once it is opened click on Confirm WT in Background, as shown below-

https://blogs.sap.com/2020/05/22/embedded-ewm-inbound-posc-multi-step-movements/ 14/19
11/21/22, 11:28 AM Embedded EWM – Inbound POSC (Multi-step movements) | SAP Blogs

Below you can see Waiting WT status has been confirmed and material has
been transferred to Destination storage Bin.

CONCLUSION:

The above process explains how a Simple Inbound POSC with Re-
pack/deconsolidation would work and how to repack materials.

I hope this post would be helpful for everyone.

In my next blog i will be discussing about EWM triggered Opportunistic

opportunistic Cross-docking.
