Create Wave Picks - According to Delivery Time
Application component: Basic Functions
App type: SAP GUI
Description: Procedure To create wave picks automatically according to time criteria, proceed as follows: From shipping , choose Picking  Wave Picks  Create  According to delivery time. For more information, see Shipping.The Create/Change Wave Picks screen appears. Enter the number of the warehouse for which you want to create wave picks.Make the following entries in the Time frame section of the screen: Reference dateAll deliveries whose compare times correspond to this date are incorporated into wave creation for that day. Timeslot groupYou can combine various time slots by entering a timeslot group. You get a maximum of one wave pick per time slot. Time slotIn addition to the timeslot group, specify a time slot if you only want to construct a wave pick for that particular time slot of the timeslot group. Surplus deliveries as ofDeliveries that have not yet been assigned to a wave pick can be included when the waves are created. Enter the date as of which these deliveries should be incorporated.  Choose a processing type: Display waves before saving (default)Choose this processing type if you want the waves to appear onscreen, if you want to edit them before saving or if you only want to run a simulation (in the foreground). Save waves directlyChoose this processing type if you want to save the waves immediately without displaying them first (background processing). The system saves the waves without displaying them onscreen.  In the Filter section of the screen, there are various selection criteria that you can use to choose specific deliveries that you want to combine into wave picks.Choose Program  Execute. Depending on the processing type you chose, the result is as follows: Display waves before savingThe system displays one or more wave proposals onscreen. You can process these waves further before you save them. For more information, refer to point 8. If you just wanted to run a simulation, choose Cancel. Note Information structure S159 is the basis for creation of wave picks. Updating this information structure is controlled in Customizing for wave picks (see Control update of workload data in the Implementation Guide). If you have problems creating wave picks, you should check the updating by choosing Wave Picks  Logs  Update.  Save waves directlyThe system displays the numbers of the wave picks that have been saved in the database.  Using the ABAP list viewer , the system displays one or more wave proposals onscreen. The following indicators appear as standard: Green traffic light and check mark as save indicatorWaves without capacity restrictions or waves with capacity restrictions that have not been exceeded. If you expand the wave, the corresponding deliveries will appear. All deliveries in this wave (except for surplus deliveries) have a green traffic light. The green check mark means they are flagged to be saved. Red traffic light with no check mark as save indicatorWaves with capacity restrictions that have been exceeded. If you expand the wave, the corresponding deliveries will appear. Green traffic light and check mark as save indicatorDeliveries that are not considered critical as far as capacity is concerned Red traffic light with no check mark as save indicatorDeliveries that are in the critical range for wave capacity Note Surplus deliveries are generally assigned to the first wave, which appears fully expanded on the screen. Surplus deliveries are marked with a stop sign.  In response to a capacity crisis, you could process the waves that are displayed as follows: Exclude waves before savingGet rid of the wave’s check mark (saving indicator). Delete deliveries from wavesExpand the wave and delete the save check marks from the chosen deliveries. The system only saves those deliveries that are marked to be saved. This means that deliveries that have no check mark will not be saved, even if they are within a wave that is marked for saving. Move deliveries among wavesTo move a delivery from a source wave to a target wave, proceed as follows: Click the number of the delivery in the source wave that you want to move. The delivery is highlighted in yellow.Now click the target wave. The delivery is moved from the source wave to the target wave, where it is marked with a plus sign.  Save the wave picksThe numbers of the wave picks that have been created appear on the screen. Note The system creates a log of the activities performed. To view the log, choose Wave Picks  Log  Wave Pick..
