Management
Objective
Customizing IM Interface. In this exercise, we will walk you through the process of creating the Warehouse
Structure Master Data.
Verify the link between IM and WM movement types
Change an existing WM movement type
Customize a WM movement type to initiate a posting change in WM

NOTE:
Abbreviations used: WM Warehouse Management; LE Logistics Execution; IM -> Inventory Management

The movement type determination is executed as follows:

A movement type is entered for goods movements from inventory management, for the goods entry and goods
issue posting via the delivery, the IM movement type is found using the schedule line categories. With this IM
movement type, the reference movement types are determined in T156S. If the first posting line of the material
document is relevant for WM, the first reference movement type is important. If the second posting line of the
material document is relevant for WM, the second reference movement type is used for further processing. If it
is a posting change within a warehouse number, the third reference movement type is used.

Table T321 is read with the reference movement type. Several read attempts are made here. At the first attempt,
the table is read with the warehouse number, the reference movement type and possibly with other key fields. If
no entry is found, the warehouse number is masked at a second attempt (***). With the entries found then and
the WM movement type, the interface to be posted to is read in WM in table T333. Either the from-data
(debit/credit indicator S)) or the to-data (debit/credit indicator H) is read depending on the debit/credit indicator in
table T156.

You have to pay particular attention to the fact that different settings are displayed in field 'Special Stock
Indicators for Whse Mgmt' (T321-BSLVS) in table T321. For the movement types from shipping (for example,
601), picking technique 1, 2 or 3 is output in this field. In case of postings with active QM-interface a 'Q' is
displayed in this field.

The Customizing settings can be found under the following path:

1. Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Inventory Management -> Define
Movement Types.
2. Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Activities -> Transfers -> Define Movement
Types.

Before you can work on the WM movement type so that new receipts are directed into a new GR area, you
must understand the link between the IM movement type and the WM movement type.

Compare the movement type 101 for goods receipt to a purchase order and for goods receipt to a production
order. Check the Reference Movement Type for the IM movement for the following movement types:

1.1.2 Your supplier delivers 40 pieces of the material T-WM03-## Enter a goods receipt for the purchase order for
storage location MAIN. Search for the Purchase order number using the material number. Display the WM
data. Create a TO and receive the material in your plant and Warehouse. Check your stocks again. What
changes can you see?

1.1.3 Display the transfer requirements that must have been created by the goods receipt posting. Determine the
Warehouse Management movement type that will control the subsequent putaway processes. (You can find
this information in the document header.)

Revision Question: How did this Movement Type get ascertained?1

1.1.4 Putaway the goods with a transfer order for the transfer requirement. Create the transfer order in the
background and check the stock overview after this step.

1.1.5 Now, check out the stock-position for the material T-MW03-##.

1.1.6 Confirm the transfer order to complete the putaway process. Check the stocks of material T-WM03-## once
more

Remember!

A Transfer Requirement (TR) is a planning document within SAP WM. A TR contains information about:

What Material and quantities are required

Where to move the material required
When to execute that activity

Answer and explanation in the Appendix of the document

Page 6 3 April 2017

Warehouse Management
Exercises
WMFUN_E05 V0 Interface With Inventory Management

A TR simply represents a requirement for an activity, such as a pick or putaway. To actually instruct Warehouse
personnel to act on the requirement, however, one or more Transfer Order(s) (TO) must be created for the TR.

SAP WM has a separate set of transactions for creating, viewing, and changing TRs and TOs: LB01, LB02, and
so on for TRs; LT01, LT02, and so on for TOs.

1.2 Exercise 2 Automatic TO creation configuration demonstration

Configuring WM to automatically create TOs from TRs is a powerful way to maximize the efficiency of your
Warehouse. WM has a powerful solution based on both IMG customization and two user-exits that
automatically control TR selection and grouping on virtually any criteria you want. In this exercise, we will see
how we can make this possible through IMG. The user exits provide scope for building in your custom logic for
handling TRs and are not part of the subject-matter. But, do study the functionality they have to offer in your
spare time.

To access the configuration menu in the IMG, follow any of these navigation paths:

IMG Menu IMG -> Logistics Execution Warehouse Management Activities

Transfers Set up automatic TO creation for TRs/Posting change notices
Transaction Code OMKZ

You see the following screen with 4 push-buttons:

Page 7 3 April 2017

Warehouse Management
Exercises
WMFUN_E05 V0 Interface With Inventory Management

The buttons have the following functions:

Assign recipient for defining the email recipient(s) for errors encountered during the TO creation (e.g., an
unavailable stock error)

Control Data for defining Auto TO methods that control the selection and grouping of TRs converted to TOs

Assign control for binding Auto TO methods to specific Warehouse Mvmt Types

Activate for scheduling the background process that actually generates the TOs.

Click on the Control Data button. You will see the following screen:

Step 1
Add a new table-entry with the New Entries button for your Warehouse number and specifying an indicator for
Auto TO, say, V. Tick on the Addid checkbox, assign A in PASt and Log fields, and key in an appropriate
description. Keep the fields Sel. Crit and With refno blank.

Step 2
With your new AutoTO method defined, the next step is to assign to the relevant Movement Type(s) in the
Warehouse. As per our design, assign this method to movement type 101 in your Warehouse CWH.

To do this, green-arrow back to the configuration menu and click on the Assign control button. Double-click on
the movement type you wish to change to open its

detail screen. Now key in your AutoTO method V in the Automatic TO field in the Background Processing
section.

With this configuration in place, there are just a couple of points to take care of:
(1) designate a mail recipient in case any errors are encountered during the automated TO creation
process
(2) schedule the program that actually creates the TO conversion (RLAUTA10) to run periodically as a
background job.

Step 3
For (1), green-arrow back to the configuration screen, click on the Assign recipient button, and in the Mail
recipient field, identify the SAP user that will be notified if the automatic TO creation process fails. This user can
be either a SAP Userid or an internet email address if SAPConnect has been configured.

Create a new entry (A, say) assigning your own email control to you Warehouse CWH and check the Document
User checkbox.

Assign your mail control indicator to the Control data for your AutoTO method in Step 1.

Step 4
Next, in order to schedule the batch-job for RLAUTA10 to create the TOs, we need to create a variant with the
values the program should use. The values are shown in the following figure: with the variant in hand, we can
now schedule RLAUTA10 to run as a scheduled batch job. Return to the configuration menu, click on the
Activate button, and schedule the job to run with our variant.

1.3 Exercise 3 Immediate TO creation

Objectives:
Set up immediate transfer Order creation for a Warehouse Management movement type

Case:
The requirement of business is that Transfer Orders for putaway are to be created immediately for GR posting
for POs.

1.3.1 In IMG, navigate to the node where Reference Mvmt types are linked to the WM Mvmt types. Search for an
entry for your Warehouse CWH and Mvmt type 101. If you find an existing entry, observe its parameters
closely.

1.3.2 Create an entry for immediate Transfer Order creation for GRs for Purchase Orders in your Whse number.
Copy from the Whse *** and Mvmt Typ1 101, if necessary.

1.3.3 Do a GR for 40 quantity a PO as usual in plant MEXT and Storage location MAIN.

1.3.4 Check the stock Overview of the Material T-WM03-## in your Whse. Has the TO been created immediately
for the TR?

1.3.5 Confirm the TO.

1.3.6 Question: Which configuration needs to be done to trigger error-emails?

1.4 Exercise 4 Special Movement Indicator

The main purpose of the Special Movement Indicator is to deal with selected materials differently during
putaway, stock removal, or stock transfer. This indicator is used to allow exceptions to the rule.

Objectives:
After this exercise, you will know how to use the Special Movement Indicator.

Case:
The material T-MW05-## is always ordered received regularly from a vendor: you would thus prefer to move it
to a separate Goods Receipt Area.

1.4.1 For this exercise create a Custom Storage Type 802 on the lines of storage type 902. First, let us create this
Storage Type from scratch. Create one storage section (001 GR Area) for this storage type.

1.4.2 In Customizing for WM, create a new special Movement indicator W (special goods receipt) in your
Warehouse CWH

1.4.3 Assign this special movement indicator to your material T-WM05-## in the Warehouse Management 1
view.

1.4.4 Enter a new custom movement type 901 in your Whse CWH Assign 802 as the Interface Storage Type.

1.4.5 In the table linking Reference Movement Types and the Warehouse Management storage types, add an
entry for your Whse CWH and Special Movement Indicator W.

1.4.6 Test your settings by doing a GR against a PO for this material. Check the stock-position prior to and
subsequent to the Goods Receipt posting. In which storage type are the received goods after the GR?

1.4.7 Confirm the TO in the background

Note:

You can set the special movement indicator in the Enter goods Receipt for purchase order transaction
(transaction code MIGO) in the details on the WM tab page. An indicator set in the goods movement
posting overrides any special movement indicator in the material master record.

The transactions with the transaction codes MB01, MB1A, MB1B, and MB1C have a WM Parameters
button.

b) Select the generic entry (*** in the WhN field) for reference movement type 101 and movement indicator B. In
the TR Create Transfer Requirement field to the right of the Warehouse Management movement type, you can
see the indicator X (create transfer requirement).

Here we assign the WM Movement Types to the reference movement types and define if transfer requirements
or posting changes should be created for the material document, and moreover if the transfer order will be
created automatically.

The special stock indicator is used to define the stock status, e.g. QI or Returns.
TR Indicator means a transfer requirement will be created for the material document item. Create Posting
Change Indicator means that a posting change notice is to be created for each material document item for
WM.

IMWM Indicator controls whether it is possible to create transfer orders either automatically or immediately
after posting a material document in Inventory Management (IM).
