Project description Welle:
Shipment planning and shipment automatisation, goods movement
GPC enhanced the existing SAP-standard transportation functionality for the Welle möbel GmbH, a market leader in furniture producing in Germany. Caused by the situation of a decentralized production and storage at four sites and a centralized delivery at Paderborn it was necessary to create helping tools backing the whole goods movement process. The tools for shipment planning are also used by the French affiliated company Welle S.A. in Boulay (shipping) and Paris (planning).
Shipment planning and shipment automatisation
The above mentioned situation forced the creation of a new, expanded selection of deliveries. On the list display the system shows additional information like goods acceptance deadlines and several planning advises. In addition to that the system provides functionality like addition of volume, weight, packing items and the display of ‘open shipments’ . The displayed deliveries can be processed in existing or in new created shipment documents. Therefore the deliveries are cumulated on goods recipient level. After that step a tour-planning is executed. Beside the delivery dates - for one shipment it is possible to plan three days - the system also determines the delivery sequence. Using these information the deliveries are booked automatically for one shipment and updated.
Within the standard functionality of ‘shipment registration’ it also was necessary to integrate enhancements. Based on the transportation volume the system determines the number of loading points (gates) for the provision of a shipment. In addition the system determines the provision locations for the deliveries. These information are then stored in the delivery document and can be used in diverse printouts like the provision message of a delivery.
Whether there is a central delivery or a decentral one is known after the tour planning. This forces in some cases a movement of inventory.
Goods movement
Based on the delivery information of the tour planning the system determines whether a delivery is covered by a storage location or by the central dispatching. Following this logic it is necessary to move inventory (customer orders and stored goods). Now the system provides two reports ’goods movement from storage location to central dispatching’ (customer order based inventory or stored goods) and ’goods movement from central dispatching to storage locations’ (stored goods or trading goods). These reports are selecting inventory planned for the according movement. The inventory can be marked on a list. The system does post the movements automatically. Also a goods delivery document is created.
Check on completion
Using a new report one can determine very quickly whether all items of an order, delivery or shipment are already available and ready for dispatching. The protocol of this report shows whether the stock is sufficient and already in the correct storage location. If the stock is not in the right place the list shows also whether it will be basically possible to deliver a material and where the therefore necessary stock would be available. The program takes into account customer order stock, stock and trading goods. In addition to that all requirements - also those which are not shown on the list are used within the complete process.
