Scrapping Process in EWM
In this process, you can decide and trigger to scrap goods which currently are stored in any of the storage types of
the Cross Industries Warehouse.
In these process examples, scrapping is initiated based on an expired shelf life of a stock item. Other triggers like
finding damaged goods in the warehouse and scrapping them are also possible.
You can search for expired stock items in a specialized view of the warehouse monitor before you create the required
warehouse orders and tasks to initiate the scrapping.
The system supports scrapping for all storage types, that is, the narrow aisle pallet buffer and picking area, the
mezzanine, and the high rack with pick point.
Depending on the physical frame conditions, the system creates the required warehouse orders and tasks
automatically and assigns them to the corresponding RF queues.
If, for example, a pallet on the upper levels of a pallet rack is to be scrapped, the system first creates a warehouse
task for a high-level truck resource to move it to a handover point from where – with a second warehouse task – it is
moved to the scrapping zone.
The actual scrapping including the financially relevant postings are then either done manually or by means of a
periodically scheduled program.
Process Flow
This process consists of the following steps:
Stock items to be scrapped are identified by means of an expired shelf-life report.
All storage types and products supported by the example warehouse can be used.
Scrapping tasks are initiated manually.
The system creates all necessary warehouse orders and tasks to move items from their storage to the final scrapping
zone.
Warehouse orders and tasks are assigned to the corresponding RF queues.
Actual scrapping and the related financial postings are either triggered manually or by means of a periodically
scheduled program run.
