„ An ERP Inbound Delivery (originating from an ASN received in ERP) is forwarded to SCE. In
SCE this message is stored in an Inbound Delivery Request (IDR), which is used as a persistent
storage of the incoming message within SCE. This Request object is not used for processing
within SCE, it does not has a SCE specific readable document number.
„ Promptly a Processing Delivery (Proc.Del.) is created out of the IDR. IDR and Proc.Del. are for a
single warehouse. The Proc.Del. has a SCE specific document number. The Proc.Del. can be
used for forecasting the WM capacity load.Site processing like ‚status in yard‘ and WM
processing is done by means of the Proc.Del. Changes of the Proc.Del. are sent back to ERP as
a kind of SCE delivery info message. A Proc.Del. with status ‘execution completed’ is the basis
for a POD.
„ ASN updates or manual updates within ERP inbound delivery are forwarded to SCE and stored
within the IDR. If possible, the changes are forwarded to the Proc.Del. The changes could also
be a IDR split. IDR and Proc.Del. splits can be handled smoothly in SCE as long as is no link to
WM objects like a TO. Thus an ‘early’ split is not a problem. Late splits which need an update of
links to WM objects do not occur in inbound execution.
„ A manual inbound split shall be done in ERP. In case the ERP system is not available, a
Proc.Del. could be manually created in SCE. ERP inbound delivery and IDR are adapted by
means of a message roundtrip via ERP.
