Display Workload - Goods Receipt
Application component: User Interface
App type: SAP GUI
Description: Using this function, you can check the workload for goods receipts for a specific period or time interval (as a warehouse manager, for example) and, if necessary, change planning for the goods receipt process. For instance, you can display the workload that must be completed on the current day, or the workload that is planned for the next day. Based on the planned workload for the next day, you decide, for example, that you will change the door assignment for a goods receipt for the next day. 
Key features: Define Time Intervals EWM uses the planned delivery date to determine delivery items for an inbound delivery and for expected goods receipts. The system determines delivery items for the period or time interval that you specify in this function. If you specify a time that lies in the future, EWM shows you items from documents that are due. If you specify a time that lies in the past, EWM shows you items from documents that are overdue.  Define Aggregation and Units of Key Figures EWM groups together data from incoming deliveries and expected goods receipts according to the specifications in the Aggregation group box. EWM uses the following key figures to group together delivery items:WeightVolumeNumber of delivery itemsNumber of highest-level handling units You can define the units for volume and weight in the default values. Choose  with the quick info text Default Values. For Display Vol./Wt, choose either Unit of Warehouse or 1 Smallest Unit of Documents.  Choose Display Mode You can define whether EWM displays the result for the time interval in columns or rows. Choose  with the quick info text Default Values. For the display, choose either Time Intervals in Columns or Time Intervals in Rows. Note If, for example, you want to see a quick overview of the total number of handling units (HUs), or the total weight during a time interval, we recommend that you choose to display the time interval in rows. The following table shows you a time interval displayed in rows: From-Date  From-Time  To-Date  To-Time  Weight  Unit  Volume  Unit of Volume  No. of HUs  No. of Items   11.06.07  08:00:00  11.06.07  08:59:59  11,5  t  120  m³  1300  120   11.06.07  09:00:00  11.06.07  09:59:59  12,0  t  135  m³  1370  122   11.06.07  10:00:00  11.06.07  10:59:59  12,1  t  137  m³  1372  123   11.06.07  11:00:00  11.06.07  11:59:59  11,7  t  125  m³  1280  119    In the default values for displaying the time interval, you choose Time Intervals in Rows. EWM displays the data it determined in rows. The number of rows depends on the specifications in the Aggregation group box. For example, you choose Per Number of Hours and specify one hour as the unit. EWM shows the following in the first row: From-Date and From-TimeTo-Date and To-TimeThe key figure, such as weight or volume, along with its unit In each subsequent row, EWM displays data for each key figure by the hour. You have specified the time interval as the hours from 08:00:00 to 12:00:00 of the current day. The second column contains data for 08:00:00 to 08:59:59, the third column contains data for 09:00:00 to 09:59:59, and so on. The following table shows you a time interval displayed in columns: Key Figure  11.06.07 (08:00:00 – 08:59:59)  11.06.07 (09:00:00 – 09:59:59)  11.06.07 (10:00:00 – 10:59:59)  11.06.07 (11:00:00 – 11:59:59)   weight  11.5 t  12.0 t  12.1 t  11.7 t   Volume  120 m³  135 m³  137 m³  125 m³   Number of HUs  1300  1370  1372  1280   Number of Items  120  122  123  119    In the default values for displaying the time interval, you choose Time Intervals in Columns. EWM displays the data it determined in columns. The first column contains the key figure, such as weight or volume. Each subsequent column displays a time unit with data for each key figure. You have specified the time interval as the hours from 08:00:00 to 12:00:00 of the current day. The second column contains data for 08:00:00 to 08:59:59, the third column contains data for 09:00:00 to 09:59:59, and so on.  Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Goods Receipt Optimization You can use the following Business Add-Ins (BAdIs):If you want to prevent the system from reading HU data, to improve system performance for example, you can use the BAdI /SCWM/EX_GRWORK_READ, BAdI: GR Workload: Control for Reading HU Data in Inbound Deliveries.If you want to define your own determination instead of using standard determination for the number of HUs for inbound deliveries or expected goods receipts, you can use the BAdI /SCWM/EX_GRWORK_HU_CALC, BAdI: GR Workload: Determination of Number of HUs/Pallets.If you want to define your own fields for the list of results, you can use the BAdI /SCWM/EX_GRWORK_HU_ENH, BAdI: Workload GR: Enhancement of Results List with User-Defined Fields. For more information, see the BAdI documentation in Customizing for EWM under Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Extended Warehouse Management  Goods Receipt Process  Goods Receipt Optimization..  Determine the Number of HUs EWM only determines an expected number of HUs for expected goods receipts, since you cannot physically pack in HUs for expected HUs. EWM determines the number of physical HUs for delivery items that have packed quantities. If you have implemented your own determination using the BAdI /SCWM/EX_GRWORK_HU_CALC, BAdI: GR Workload: Determination of Number of HUs/Pallets, EWM executes this determination. If you have not implemented your own determination, EWM uses the palletization data of the product. If a cross-delivery HU contains quantities from multiple delivery items, EWM only assigns this HU once. EWM assigns this HU to the delivery item with the earliest delivery date.
