2. Warehouse Process Type Determination

Requirement: When inbound delivery is created and replicated to EWM, Warehouse process type should be determined.

A Warehouse process type is used to define the activity or movement of each process in a warehouse. It deals with each warehouse process like packing, good receipt, good issue and is assigned to each warehouse task document. 

Warehouse process type defines the storage type and bin for the movement of goods.

All warehouse process types are further grouped into warehouse process categories. Warehouse process categories are used to define the goods movement in a warehouse. 

Warehouse process Type Categories: 

  • 1=Put away 
  • 2=Stock Removal 
  • 3 =Internal Warehouse movement 
  •  4=Posting Change

When Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) creates a warehouse request, it automatically determines the warehouse process type.
If you are using the embedded EWM in SAP S/4HANA, the system also determines a warehouse process type for special processes, such as for goods receipt with synchronous goods movement in Inventory Management and EWM.

Key for WPT determination:
