SD: Create Picking, Packing & Post Goods Issue

What is Picking?

Picking will create Transfer Order if we use WM link to Delivery. When transfer order is confirmed. Then the field picking quantity is turn on to enter.

If no WM is created, we have to input the quantity of picking manually.

 

It is necessary to prepare the correct quantity and quality of  goods  as specified in sales order for shipping on schedule as required by the customer. Material picking is done by warehouse management (WM). WM picking is done via transfer order. The transfer order is the  basis for the picking list, it is used to withdraw the ordered goods from stock. There are three ways of picking-

1. Pick Delivery individually.

2. Picking can be scheduled to run at per-defined intervals.

3. SAP SD module can be configured to execute picking automatically.

Pick can be automatic (full).

What is Packing?

Packing function is used to exchange product data between suppliers and customers. The packing of product is done by the packing material. These packing materials need to be created in the material master with material type “VERP”. Packing can we done in SAP  in two ways:

1. Manual Packing

2. Automatic Packing

There are many Steps in packing function like manual packing and auto packing with single level and multilevel packing.

 

Packing will create a HU (Handling Unit). Packing is manually created.

• Pack material

• Pack HU

 

Packing material has 2 types:

• Return packing material

• Non-return packing material

if there is price in packing material, it will add price into billing.

 

Picking & Packing is not mandatory, when there is WM it is mandatory. To check the mandatory, go to delivery in tab Picking, check OverallWMstatus or WMActStatus to check whether WM is used.

What is Post Good Issue (PGI)?

Post goods issue is the last Step of delivery/shipment processing. Herein, ownership of the goods transfers to the customer and the stock is updated. The carrier in turn transfers the ownership to the final customer once goods are delivered.
