Hello Experts,
We are using an AFS ECC environment where all materials are gridded (each size of a garment material is a unique batch where the size is the characteristic). The materials are received in our distirubiton centers on a legacy warehouse management system.
Today, we have purchase orders (Subcontract and STOs) with the AFS Stock category. The IBD is created in ECC (with the batches coresponding to the plant, material, size, and AFS Stock Category)
The Goods Reciepts are sent from the legacy warehouse managment system via IDoc and the GR are posted against the IBD / corresponding batch in ECC. We have an enhancement in ECC that immediately transfer posts the received batch (with the AFS Stock Category) to the batch without the AFS Stock Category. The requirment is that all materials end up without the AFS stock category as a batch characteristic.
We are in the beginning stages of implementing EWM and our desire is to post the GR to the batch without the AFS stock category in EWM but to still post the GR against ECC against the inbound delivery, which contains the batch with the AFS Stock Category.
While we are looking at this challenge from multiple angles, does anyone have experience or suggestions about addressing this in the EWM emvironment while posting the GR in ECC agaist the inbound delivery?
It goes without saying that enhancements in previous implementations will cause challenges when integrating remaining operations / functions in later implementations!
Nevertheless, any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris
