Process Oriented Storage Control (POSC)
POSC during inbound process is used to map complex putaway processes to determine the relevant process steps required and the sequence of the process steps. this lets you track the overall process while having visibility to the execution of the individual process steps.
In the customizing for the storage control, you can flexibly define the necessary process steps to fulfill an overall process. you can see that the following process steps are defined as part of the POSC for the putaway process for Handling unit. (HU)
1. Unload the HU at the door
2. Move the HU to staging area
3. Deconsolidation of mixed products so that they can be put away separately into the warehouse
4. Valve Added Services (VAS) activities like labeling ,oiling etc
5. Put away the HU's to the final bin
Layout Oriented Storage Control (LOSC)
Business process sometimes needs to use an interim storage type and bin, when transferring stock from one area of the warehouse to another to check wieght volume etc, you can manage this requirement in EWM using the LOSC.
Combined Storage Control for Inbound Processing
Both the POSC and the LOSC are used together, the POSC is always checked first during execution of the storage control. An example of a warehouse storage process that includes both the POSC and LOSC could include the following process steps:
1. Unloading the HU's at the door (POSC)
2. Deconsolidation of the HU's at the work center (POSC)
3. Value Added Services (VAS) at VAS work center (POSC)
4. Placing the goods at one interim storage location for wieght check (LOSC)
5. Lifting the goods to mezzanine floor (LOSC)
6. Putting away the HUs into the high rack bin (POSC)
Unload takes place at door (storage type), goods reciept takes place at GR staging area (storage type), Deconsolidation takes place at Deconsolidation work center (storage type), VAS takes place at VAS work center (storage type), placing the goods at ground floor (storage type), lifting the HU’s to mezzanine floor (storage type) and final putaway of HU’s in to final storage type.
The configuration steps for POSC and LOSC are as follows
1.Define door storage type and create storage bin for doo
