EWM Inbound Processing

Keep this: job aid

EWM inbound card

  • Inbound delivery = warehouse request; created from ASN, manually from the PO, or in EWM at arrival.
  • Embedded EWM: no inbound delivery notification; synchronous receipt without delivery is possible.
  • Explicit receipt posts first (/SCWM/PRDI, Goods Receipt + Save); implicit receipt posts on the first task.
  • Receipt posts into 171R (received on dock); putaway completion posts 171R → 171A.
  • Putaway chain: quantity → search sequence → section → bin type → putaway rule → capacity → next type.
  • Wrong bin? Read the task: process type, destination type, section, bin.
  • Short from supplier → reduce delivery; broken in warehouse → difference analyzer.
  • Damage → blocked stock in 9030 → return, rework or scrap.
  • Evidence: delivery, material documents, journal entry, tasks, user and device, bins, reconciliation.
  • Daily: compare EWM and inventory management stock in compare mode.
