In this blog post you will learn about the value-added service in SAP EWM. There
are some products which needs VAS activities such as labelling, painting,
RSS Feed polishing assembling, packing etc. Additionally, there are materials which needs
to be stored for a long time in a warehouse and this would require VAS activities
like oiling and repacking before storage.
Solution Approach:
In this case, goods are passed through various locations in the warehouse
before reaching the final put away. To achieve each movement, a warehouse
task to be created and for every warehouse task creation a warehouse process
type needs to be defined.

In the inbound delivery, the warehouse process type: N013 should be assigned
to the delivery item level. To determine this warehouse process type, a control
indicator should be defined and assigned to the respective warehouse process
type.
IMG Path – SPRO -> IMG -> SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended
Warehouse Management -> Cross-Process Settings -> Warehouse Task -> Define
Control Indicators for Determining Warehouse Process Types.
Assign this control indicator to the respective document type, item type and
warehouse process type using the below mentioned node:
IMG Path – SPRO -> IMG -> SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended
Warehouse Management -> Cross-Process Settings -> Warehouse Task ->
Determine Warehouse Process Type.
In the above step a warehouse process type is defined for each movement
following which a Process-oriented storage control (POSC) is defined to
execute this movement in a sequenced way.
Create External Storage Process Step using the below mentioned node:
IMG Path – SPRO -> IMG -> SCM Extended Warehouse Management -> Extended
Warehouse Management -> Cross-Process Settings -> Warehouse Task -> Define

type for those External steps created above.
Then assign these External steps to this Storage Process as shown below:
Finally assign this Storage process: NI03 to the warehouse process type: N013
using the below mentioned node:
