| A staging area is an interim storage
area for goods that have been received from goods receipt and afterwards
need to be transferred into the warehouse.
It is also an interim storage area for goods that were picked in a warehouse and are to be loaded for goods issue through loading ramps or doors. Path: SPRO-> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Master Data ->Define Material Staging Areas Transaction Code: SM30 Table: T30C View: V_T30C
Objective You can identify an inbound or an outbound delivery for goods receipt or goods issue by the material staging area number. As this selection criterion is time consuming, you should recommend its use only if the deliveries cannot be identified by other criteria. Steps: - For the inbound delivery: Choose Inbound Processes -> Goods Receipt -> GR by MS Area. - For the outbound delivery: Choose Outbound Processes -> Goods Issue -> GI by MS Area. 1.Enter the material staging area and choose F4 Next to proceed to the next screen. 2.This screen displays the following information: - Load status of the delivery: The check box is marked if the delivery is fully loaded. - Ship-to party account number / Name of the receiving party (for an outbound delivery) - Vendor account number/ Name of the vending party (for an inbound delivery) - Shipping point and shipping date - Total weight of the goods to be delivered - Number of packages - HU indicator: If marked, a handling unit exists for this delivery. - TO indicator: If marked, a transfer order exists for this delivery. - Choose F1 Post to post the goods in Inventory Management. In general, the transfer order has to be confirmed before executing the posting. For an inbound delivery you can define in Customizing for Handling Unit Management that the delivery is posted before transfer order creation and confirmation. Choose Basics -> Delivery -> Define Sequence of Transfer Order – Goods Receipt. In Customizing for Logistics Execution, you can define that the delivery is automatically posted when all the delivery items are picked. Choose Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Shipping -> Define Shipping Control -> Define Shipping Control at the Movement Type Level. - With F4 Item, you can display
information on the item(s) that belong(s) to this delivery. For each item,
material information will be displayed. On the same screen, you can change
the delivered quantity with F6 Differences if discrepancies exist. With
F7 Select, you can confirm that you checked the items. This information
is only temporary. If you leave the transaction without saving the confirmed
items with F1 Save, checked items data are lost. The indicator for total
items and confirmed items shows how many items exist in this delivery and
how many of these items you already checked.
Notes for Additional Functions Shipment Information - With F5 Ship, you can display information on the shipment for this delivery, if it exists. When you start the unloading/ loading process selected by shipment, the start date and time are automatically updated. The end date and time are updated when loading/unloading the last handling unit. These fields can also be manually updated, if necessary. - The date/time fields are filled
with the default system date/time if the loading/unloading has not yet
started.
Confirm Transfer Order for Delivery - With F6 TO execution, the system proceeds to a screen where you can confirm the transfer order for this inbound or outbound delivery. - For an inbound delivery: With F7 Load, you can unload the goods. If you choose this option, you reach the screen Unload by Delivery. - For an outbound delivery: With F7 Load, you can load the goods. If you choose this option, you reach the screen Load by Delivery. - With F8 Generate TO, you can create
a transfer order for this delivery. If a transfer order already exists,
the TO indicator field is marked. In this case, transfer order generation
is only possible for items for which no transfer order exists. For example,
if the transfer order has been cancelled.
