Auto TU and Vehicle creation though PPF- SAP EWM

Introduction: Now a days businesses are asking to create the automatic TU (Transportation Unit) creation once the PO &IBD created though ASN.

So, in this Blog I am going to explain the TU configuration and automatic TU & vehicle creation through PPF actions.

 

So, this blogs are categorized as below sections:

1. TU and Vehicle configuration steps in S4 and EWM 

2. PPF Configurations 

3. Testing

A) IN S4:

1. Define Packaging Material Types for Shipping

Path: Logistics – General-Handling Unit Management- Basics- Define Packaging Material Types for Shipping

 

2. Define Material Group for Packaging Materials

Path: Logistics – General-Handling Unit Management- Basics - Define Material Group for Packaging Materials

 

3. Define Allowed Packaging Materials

Path: Logistics – General- Handling Unit Management- Basics- Define Allowed Packaging Materials

 

4. Number Range Maintenance for HU Identification

Path: Logistics – General - Handling Unit Management-  External Identification-  Number Range Maintenance for HU Identification

EWM side Configuration for TU:

5. Define Packaging Material Types for Warehousing

11. Define Number Range Interval for Transportation Units

14.Link between packaging material and means of transport

T-CODE: /N/SCWM/PM_MTR

 

1. B) PPF CONFIGURATIONS:

T-CODE: SPPFCADM

15.Application: /SCDL/DELIVERY

Action Profile: /SCWM/PDI_01

Action Definition: ZTU/SCWM/PDI_01_WT_CREATE

b2 

Method: /SCWM/WHR_CREATE_VEHICLE

16.Condition Configuration

T-CODE: SPPFCADM

C)Testing:

1.Create IBD- VL31N

2.Maintain IBD- /N/SCWM/PRDI

c3 

c4 

T-Code: /N/SCWM/TU

 

 c5

You can clearly see the particularly created TU has the assigned IBD to it.

Conclusion: By above steps I hope you understand the configuration steps of TU and PPF action setup and testing of TU and vehicle .
