Partial Picking configuration for Warehouse Management

Partial Picking configuration is set at two different areas within customising:

• SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Define Control Parameters for Warehouse Number
• SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Shipping-> Define Shipping Control -> Shipping Control per Warehouse Number

The above configuration is utilised by the system in two different ways:

Define Control Parameters for Warehouse Number:
This configuration setting is only considered in multiple processing when the user creates picking instructions for a delivery group with WM reference via VL06P or a group of TR’s created via LT41.
If partial picking is not allowed, then the picking instructions created in background mode via LT42 will fail for the entire group if one or more line items is not completely fulfilled via a picking instruction, which will then require the user to step through each delivery in foreground mode to create the picking instructions.

Allowing partial picking will allow LT42 to run in background mode and create picking instructions for the available stock even if the available stock is less than the required amount. The picking instruction for the group will not fail if one or more line items is not completely fulfilled

Shipping Control per Warehouse Number:
This config setting is considered when the user creates picking instructions for a delivery via VL06P and follows the specified steps below:

1. Execute VL06P.
2. Select the required deliveries.
3. Select Settings -> Subsequent Functions -> Background.
4. Subsequent Functions -> Create Transfer Order.

Alternatively the user can create picking instructions in Background Mode from the initial screen of VL06P.
This setting is also a control parameter on function module L_TO_CREATE_DN.
This setting is not considered when picking instructions are created via multiple processing.
