Hi,
"
I need help to configure below scenario in EWM. Warehouse receives the inbound HUs which can contains single material or multiple materials. For the normal HU, putaway should happen after unloading and for mixed HUs, putaway should happen after sorting. For this, I have configured de-consolidation and POSC. But somehow, it is not working. All kinds of HUs are coming to de-consolidation workcenter after unload. This is my issue one."
OK, deconsolidaton as process step.
- in POSC you can either enter a storage type / section / bin to your external step, that means that every HU moves via the deco workcenter. Or you can flag rule-based.
- where do you assign the work center or storage bin when rule-based is used? That is the entry "specify deconsolidation station", as in the screenshot.
- how does the rule-based work? For this you have TWO possibilites
- when you assign storage bins to an activity area, you can assign a "deconsolidation group" (via the button, it is then in the field "consolidation group". That means if you have final warehouse tasks and they go to different bins in different activity areas with different deconsolidation groups the system moves via the deco work center. Bad luck if you have two materials which go into the same activity area, then the rule based does not work. And if you don't assign the deconsolidation group (or do it later and do not re-order the bins) it also does not work.
- you can assign a maximum number of WTs in your deconsolidation and you putaway HU. This way also when moving into the same activity area rule based is also triggered. This you have to set up for your destination activity area under "Define attributes for deconsolidaton".
