Pickup and Account Assignment Direct ODO Issue To Cost Cente
Cente
Deployment Consideration:
SAP EWM offers such a gamut of powerful tools to map complex business processes in a very easy
way. Direct outbound delivery order, goods issue to cost center is one of those handful tools where
‘‘Account Assignment Deliveries” can directly be created from Decentral EWM and a
corresponding ERP Account assignment delivery is automatically created. I am takling about account
assignment movement type 201
In this functionality, there is no need to conduct picking from EWM, just pushing Direct ODO from
EWM automatically post GI with account assignment delivery(mvt 201) in ERP.
This process significantly reduces the time span of creating delivery in ERP, conducting picking and
goods issue from EWM(Planned Goods Issue). So, this process would be called as Unplanned
Goods Issue.
This is generally required for bulk materials like packaging items, glues, or C class materials.
Direct outbound delivery from EWM offers other critical functionalities as well
—>However, this blog will solely deal with direct issue to cost center(Movement type 201) from
EWM.
Prerequisites:
SAP suggests to activate Business configuration(BC) sets to work with desired document types, Item
types and appropriate profiles to conduct this process from EWM.
As per SAP note 2450387(Which document type or item type for which warehouse request), it
suggests to activate below BC sets as per business need
/SCWM/DLV_OUTBOUND_DIRODO_1: You can use this BC Set to create the document and item
types (OPIG and ODPI) and the required customer profiles for the direct outbound delivery with
pickup. You cannot use this BC Set in combination with picking, handling units, or integration with
shipping and receiving. You must start the outbound process in EWM. If you want to start the
process in ERP, activate BC Set /SCWM/DLV_OUTBOUND_DIRODO_1A after activating
/SCWM/DLV_OUTBOUND_DIRODO_1.
/SCWM/DLV_OUTBOUND_DIRODO_2: You can use this BC Set to create the document and item
types (OPIG and ODPG) and the required customer profiles for the direct outbound delivery with
pickup and warehouse processing. You can use these document and item types when working
with handling units and picking. You cannot use this BC Set in combination with shipping and
receiving integration. You must start the outbound process in EWM. If you want to start the process
in ERP, activate BC Set /SCWM/DLV_OUTBOUND_DIRODO_2A after activating
/SCWM/DLV_OUTBOUND_DIRODO_2.
Assign required warehouse to cost center category 10(Predefined values, dont change, its hard
coded in programming)
Create a Cost Center in ERP KS01. Cost centers are company code specific not plant
specific, so create CC for your company.
Pull this Cost center to EWM system by t code /SCWM/ACC_IMP_ERP – Administration
of Account Assignment Data
Replication Steps:
/SCWM/SGI – Pickup
Enter the required, document type and Item types and other values as below.
Since. I am just posting one line item, so it is 1. If there is need of multiple lines items posting, that
can be easily done.
Enter the required product, quantity and all. Warehouse process type determination is
automatic. Just enter the document types and Item types, WPT would be determined
automatically based on customization.
Save the delivery and Post Goods Issue.
Check the ERP delivery in VL03N now. The ERP delivery is automatically created once ODO
is posted from EWM. And delivery is having account assignment object having cost center.
It may look so easy but there are multiple errors faced during replication of this process.
Problems faced
1. Shipping Point Determination error
The above error convey that shipping condition and loading group is not defined in ERP.
However, when you post ODO from EWM, loading group is not captured in EWM and hence ERP
delivery should also be created without loading group. EWM expects ERP delivery with same
combination without loading group.
Note:-So, you need to create an additional entry without loading group and shipping
condition in OVL2 in ERP. Once, this is created, just push the queue from EWM, it would be
freed.
SAP note 1530820 – Posting from direct outbound delivery for the cost center fails which
describes the behavior.
This may take your too much to investigate to find how movement type will be updated automatically
from EWM.
If all the configurations and mater data are appropriately set, you will be able to replicate this
Unplanned goods issue directly from EWM which is called as Pick up and Account assignment
process.
This process actually triggers transfer posting of Kanban items to PSA via 411 delivery and
consumption to cost center by 201. You just need to Empty Kanban card to trigger staging delivery
and conduct picking.
Once staging is completed at PSA, Kanban status changes to Green. So, stock is at
PSA( Tractability).
Now, when you got to know that cost center item needs to be consumed, just Empty the card and
stock gets consumed by movement type 201 against OPC delivery( Non Pick relevant)
Hence the process ends here. I would wait for your valuable feedback to make this blog more
productive and useful.
