1 Logistics
This section provides you with an introduction to logistics in SAP Catch Weight Management.

1.1 Handling Unit Management (LO-HU)
Use
Based on mySAP ERP, SAP Catch Weight Management (SAP CWM) provides industry-specific functions in the area of Handling Unit Management (LO-HU).
Restrictions
The system does not support the following functions:
HU confirmation in repetitive manufacturing (transaction MFHU)
Packing in repetitive manufacturing (transaction HUP1)
The following function modules are deactivated:
COMI_HU_CONSUMPTION
COMI_MATERIAL_COMPLETE_CHECK
COMI_MATERIAL_SEQUENCE_CHECK
The HU functions in SAP CWM are only supported if you enter the parallel quantity in a unit of weight during packing.

1.1.1 Packing
Use
When you use the Packing Dialog to pack a catch weight material, the system considers the quantity in the logistics unit of measure and the parallel quantity.
Features
Pack material
In the packing dialog, you can enter data for catch weight materials, not only in the Partial Quantity , Total Quantity and Unit of Measure fields on the Pack
Material tab page, on the Material to Be Packed subscreen, but also in the Partial Parallel Quantity , Total Parallel Quantity and Parallel Unit of Measure
(PuoM) fields.
The following applies when you pack catch weight materials:
If you only want to pack a partial quantity, you must also enter the partial parallel quantity.
If you do not enter the parallel quantity, the system determines it using the plan conversion factor from the material master record.
In the Packing per Partial Quantity and Packing If Full functions, the system uses the plan conversion factor defined in the material master to determine
the partial parallel quantity and the parallel quantity.
Packing proposal
When you create HU templates, the quantity of a catch weight material to be packed is only displayed in the logistics unit of measure on the Packing
Proposal tab page in the packing dialog. The relevant parallel quantity is determined using the plan conversion factor defined in the material master.
Single entry
You can find additional fields that you can use to enter parallel quantities and the parallel unit of measure for catch weight materials, on the Single Entry tab
page, on the Handling Unit Content subscreen.
Total content
On the Total Content tab page in the packing dialog, you can also enter data for catch weight materials in the Packed Parallel Quantity and Parallel Unit of
Measure (PuoM) fields. If you change the packed parallel quantity on this tab page, the system adjusts the total parallel quantity on the Pack Material tab page
accordingly.
For more information about this tab page, see Overviews That Are Relevant for Packing.
Automatic packing
For automatic packing of a catch weight material, the system uses the plan conversion factor defined in the material master to determine the parallel quantity,
which it then takes into account during the packing process. For more information, see Automatic Packing.
PUBLIC
Page 3 of 32
Business Add-In for calculating and checking a parallel quantity
In the standard system, the default implementation of Business Add-In (BAdI) /CWM/HU_GET_2TQ_QTY (BAdI for calculating and checking the parallel quantity)
ensures that the parallel quantity can be determined with the plan conversion factor, if you have not specified a parallel quantity. If you want to change this
procedure you must define a new BAdI implementation.
For more information on this BAdI, see the BAdI documentation.

1.1.2 Packing for an Inbound Delivery
Use
You use this function when you want to pack delivery items for an inbound delivery.
Features
The packing dialog copies information about delivery quantities and picked quantities from the delivery. If the delivery item is a catch weight material, the delivery
contains details on the delivery quantity and the picked quantity, in the logistics unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure.
For putaway and posting a goods receipt you proceed differently, depending on the storage location you have specified in the delivery (see also Goods Receipt
Handling with Reference to Inbound Deliveries):
Storage Location Not HU-Managed
o If the delivery item is assigned to a storage location that is not HU-managed, you can pack this delivery item either partially or completely.
o You can post the goods receipt for this delivery independently of the packed quantities, as no checks are performed to see if a difference exists between
the packing quantity and the delivery quantity.
o As it is possible to change quantities during packing, the corresponding data is taken from the packing dialog and updated to the delivery.
HU-Managed Storage Location
o If the delivery item is assigned to a storage location that is HU-managed, you must pack the delivery item completely to be able to post a goods receipt. If
the delivery quantity and the packing quantity are not identical you cannot post a goods receipt. The system checks for possible differences between
quantities but only in terms of the logistics unit of measure.
o As it is possible to change quantities during packing, the corresponding data is taken from the packing dialog and updated to the delivery.
HU-Managed and WM-Managed Storage Location
o If the delivery item is assigned to a storage location that is HU-managed and WM-managed, you must completely pack the delivery item.
As you can change the logistics quantity and the parallel quantity during packing, quantity-related data is updated to the delivery from the packing dialog.
o You create a transfer order for the packed quantity (see also Creating a Transfer Order for an Inbound Delivery).
The transfer order uses data in the handling unit to determine the quantity for putaway.
o You confirm the transfer order (see also Confirming Transfer Orders for Inbound Deliveries).
When you confirm a transfer order you can change the logistics quantity and the parallel quantity. In this case, the changed quantities are updated to the
handling unit and the delivery. When confirming a transfer order it is also possible to update the picked quantity to the delivery.
o The handling unit is put away in warehouse management (WM).
o You post the goods receipt.
To be able to do this, the picked quantity must be identical to the packing quantity.
HU-Managed and Lean-Managed Storage Location
If the delivery item is assigned to a storage location that is HU-managed and lean-WM-managed you perform putaway and post a goods receipt as you would
if you were assigning them to a storage location that was HU-managed and WM-managed. The only difference between the processes is that in this case it is
not possible to change quantities when confirming the transfer order.
Automatic Packing
When you create a delivery, the function Automatic Packing allows you to create handling units in the background using packing proposals and to pack all the
packable delivery items (see also Packing Automatically When Creating Deliveries). Catch weight materials are dealt with in the same way here as in manual
packing.

Packing for an Outbound Delivery
Use
You use this function when you want to pack delivery items for an outbound delivery.
Features
The packing dialog copies information about delivery quantities and picked quantities from the outbound delivery. If the delivery item is a catch weight material, the
outbound delivery contains details on the delivery quantity and the picked quantity in the logistics unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure.
PUBLIC
Page 4 of 32
You proceed differently for goods issue and stock removal, depending on the storage location you are using (see also Goods Issue Processing with Reference
to Outbound Delivery):
Storage Location Not HU-Managed
If you take the delivery item from a storage location that is not HU-managed, you can pack this delivery item either partially or completely.
You can post the goods issue for this outbound delivery independently of the packed quantities, as no checks are performed to see if there is a difference
between the packing quantity and the delivery quantity.
As it is possible to change quantities during packing, the corresponding data is taken from the packing dialog and updated to the outbound delivery.
HU-Managed Storage Location
If you take the delivery item from a storage location that is HU-managed, assign unrestricted-use handling units to the outbound delivery.
In the outbound delivery you can repack HUs but you cannot repost stock.
In the packing dialog you can therefore only change the assigned parallel quantity and not the quantity in the logistics unit of measure. If you want to
change the parallel quantity in the packing dialog, the data is updated to the outbound delivery.
You can post the goods issue if the packing quantity and the delivery quantity are identical.
The system checks for possible differences between quantities, but only in relation to the logistics unit of measure.
HU-Managed and WM-Managed Storage Location
You use picking to pack delivery items that are assigned to an HU-managed and WM-managed storage location.
You create a transfer order for an outbound delivery.
The quantity to be removed from storage is assigned to a storage unit, and therefore a handling unit.
You perform picking and then confirm the transfer order.
If you confirm the transfer order, the handling unit is transferred to the interim storage type and is assigned to the outbound delivery.
If the quantity to be removed from storage is smaller than the quantity in the handling unit, when you confirm the transfer order a pick HU is created and
the quantity to be removed from storage is packed into this pick HU. In this case, the pick HU is transferred to the interim storage type and is assigned to
the outbound delivery.
When you confirm a transfer order in the packing dialog, you have the option of changing the logistics quantity and the parallel quantity.
In the outbound delivery you can repack HUs but you cannot repost stock.
You can post the goods issue if the delivery quantity is identical to the picking quantity and the packing quantity.
HU-Managed and Lean-Managed Storage Location
You proceed in the same way as for HU-managed and WM-managed storage locations. However, for HU-managed and lean-WM-managed storage locations
you must define and specify handling units manually.
Automatic Packing
When creating an outbound delivery, the function Automatic Packing allows you to create handling units in the background using packing proposals and to
pack all the packable delivery items (see also Packing Automatically When Creating Deliveries). Catch weight materials are handled in the same way as
during manual packing.

Packing and Goods Receipt for Production Orders
Purpose
You can use this function to pack materials that were created on the basis of production orders (production orders or process orders). You can then post the goods
issue with reference to the handling units (see also Packing the Material Produced).
Process Flow
1. You create handling units for a production order (see also Packing Material).
In the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics Production Production Control Goods Movements Pack material (transaction
COWBPACK ).
Plan conversion is used to determine the parallel quantity for catch weight materials in the background and update it to the packing dialog.
2. You post the goods receipt for the handling units (see also Post Goods Receipt with HU ).
In the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics Production Production Control Goods Movements Goods receipt with HU (transaction
COBWHUWE).
3. If you select Change HU when entering a goods receipt, the packing dialog appears.
There you can change both the logistics quantity and the parallel quantity in the handling unit. The changed values are transferred to the goods receipt
posting.

Packing and Goods Issue for Production Orders
Purpose
In this process you pack materials that are assigned to a production order (production order or process order). You can then post the goods issue with reference to
the handling units (see also Post Goods Issue with HU).
PUBLIC
Page 5 of 32
Process Flow
1. You pack the order components.
In the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics Central Functions Handling Unit Management Processing Handling Units Work Order -
Components (transaction COPAWA).
2. You post the goods receipt.
In the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics Central Functions Handling Unit Management Goods Movement of Handling Units
Goods Issue for Work Order (transaction COWBHUWA).
3. Alternatively, you can also post a partial goods issue.
When you post a partial goods issue, you enter the quantity and the packed quantity in the logistics unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure.
When you post a partial goods issue, a check is performed to ensure that the data in the goods issue posting and the data in the handling units
still in stock, is consistent with the tolerance levels defined in the material master.

1.1.6 Packing Station
Use
When you use the packing station to pack a catch weight material, you can enter the quantities in the logistics and the parallel unit of measure.
Features
Pack material
The following applies for the packing of catch weight materials on the To Pack subscreen:
The Parallel Quantity field is only ready for input once you have entered a material, a batch and the logistics quantity.
If you do not enter the parallel quantity, the system determines it using the plan conversion factor from the material master record.
The system performs checks against the tolerance group defined in the material master record when catch weight materials are packed and unpacked.
On the Pack Material tab page, the system displays the Unpacked Parallel Quantity , HU Content Parallel Qty and Parallel UoM fields for catch weight
materials. The Partial Parallel Quantity field is ready for input.
If you pack additional partial quantities, the system adjusts the parallel quantity of the handling unit using the plan conversion factor.
If you enter a partial parallel quantity, the system adjusts the parallel quantity of the handling unit.

Weight Determination of Handling Units
Use
When creating and processing a handling unit, the system calculates the loading weight and the total weight of the handling unit using the conversion factors
entered in the material master record.
By setting the Fixed Tar e indicator and entering the reference unit of measure, you determine how the system is to calculate the loading weight. If you do not set
the Fixed Tare indicator, the system takes the tare weight percentage into account. If you do set the Fixed Tare indicator, the system adds the tare weight for
each base quantity.
Prerequisites
For catch weight materials, the net weight entered in the material master record ( Basic Data 1 view) must agree with the plan conversion factor between the
logistics base quantity and parallel quantity ( Additional Data screen).
Features
When calculating the loading weight and total weight for catch weight materials, the system takes into account the parallel quantity entered for the packed
materials.
The loading weight is calculated from the parallel quantity and the difference between the gross and the net weight (tare weight). Depending on whether the Fixed
Tare indicator is set and what you have entered as the reference unit of measure, you have the following calculation options:
PUBLIC
Page 6 of 32
Option 1
If you have not set the Fixed Tare indicator, the system calculates the loading weight as follows:
Loading weight = parallel quantity + (gross weight net weight) x logistics quantity
Option 2
If you have set the Fixed Tare indicator and the reference unit of measure is the same as the base unit of measure, the system calculates the loading weight as
follows:
Base quantity from Base quantity to Factor
0.1 1 1
1.1 2 2
2.1 3 3
etc.
Loading weight = parallel quantity + (gross weight net weight) x factor
Option 3
If you have set the Fixed Tare indicator and the reference unit of measure is the same as the alternative unit of measure, the system calculates the loading
weight as follows:
Alternative quantity from Alternative quantity to Factor
0.1 1 1
1.1 2 2
2.1 3 3
etc.
Loading weight = parallel quantity + (gross weight net weight) x factor

The total weight of the handling unit is the total of all the loading weights and the tare weight of the handling unit.
Example
You have entered the following data in the material master record for your material:
Gross weight: 2 KG
Net weight: 1 KG
Base unit of measure: PC
Alternative unit of measure: Pallet (PAL), (conversion factor: 1 PAL = 10 PC)
Parallel unit of measure: KG (plan conversion factor: 1 PC = 5 KG)
The packed quantity in the handling unit is 1.5 PC/8 KG
Calculating the loading weight with option 1
Loading weight = 8 KG + (2 KG 1KG) x 1.5 = 9.5 KG
Loading weight = 8 KG + (2 KG 1KG) x 2 = 10.0 KG
Loading weight = 8 KG + (2 KG 1KG) x 1 = 9.0 KG
(1.5 PC = 0.15 PAL => factor = 1)

1.1.8 Handling Unit Monitor
Use
You can use this report to select handling units that you wish to process, or for which you want to perform transfer postings.
When you pack a catch weight material, you can enter the quantities in the logistics and the parallel unit of measure.
PUBLIC
Page 7 of 32
Features
List display for handling units
You can choose between the following list displays for which the system displays both the cumulated parallel quantity and the parallel unit of measure for catch
weight materials:
Handling units with cumulated material items
For single-level and hierarchy handling units, the system displays the cumulated parallel quantity and the parallel unit of measure.
HU hierarchy with totals and auxiliary packaging materials
The system displays the cumulated parallel quantity and the parallel unit of measure in the header line.
Single-level list of handling units
Pack material
In the handling unit monitor, you can enter data for catch weight materials, not only in the Partial Quantity , Total Quantity and Unit of Measure fields on the
Pack Material tab page on the Material to Be Packed subscreen, but also in the Partial Parallel Quantity , Total Parallel Quantity and Parallel Unit of
Measure (PUoM) fields.
The following applies when you pack catch weight materials:
If you only want to pack a partial quantity, you must also enter the partial parallel quantity.
If you do not specify the parallel quantity explicitly, it will be defined using plan conversion.
In the functions Packing per Partial Quantity and Packing If Full, the system determines the partial parallel quantity and the parallel quantity using the
plan conversion factor defined in the material master.
Packing proposal
When you create HU templates, the system only displays the quantity of a catch weight material to be packed in the logistics unit of measure on the Packing
Proposal tab page in the handling unit monitor. The system determines the parallel quantity using the plan conversion factor defined in the material master.
Single entry
In the handling unit monitor, additional fields for entry of the parallel quantity and parallel unit of measure are ready for input for catch weight materials on the
Single Entry tab page, on the Handling Unit Content subscreen.
Total content
In the handling unit monitor, you can also enter data for catch weight materials in the Packed Parallel Quantity and Parallel Unit of Measure (PME) fields on
the Total Contents tab page. If you change the packed parallel quantity on this tab page, the system adapts the total parallel quantity on the tab page Pack
material accordingly.
For more information about this tab page, see Overviews That Are Relevant for Packing.
Automatic packing
When a catch weight material is packed automatically, the system uses the plan conversion factor defined in the material master to determine the relevant parallel
quantity, which it takes into account during packing. For more information, see Automatic Packing.
Business Add-In for calculating and checking a parallel quantity
In the standard system, the default implementation of Business Add-In (BAdI) /CWM/HU_GET_2TQ_QTY (BAdI for calculating and checking the parallel quantity)
ensures that when you do not enter a parallel quantity, the system determines this using the plan conversion factor. If you want to change this procedure you must
define a new BAdI implementation.
Change documents
If creation of change documents has been activated for the handling unit, the system also makes entries in the change document of the relevant handling unit for
any changes made to the parallel quantity. You can display these changes from the HU Monitor: Selected Handling Units screen. To do this, choose Goto
Chg Docs .

1.1.10 Inventory of Handling Units
Use
You can use this function to perform an inventory of HU-managed storage locations, using the logistics quantity and the parallel quantity of the individual inventory
items (see also Inventory of Handling Units).
Features
Editing and Displaying Physical Inventory Documents
In addition to details about the logistics quantity, physical inventory documents also contain details about the parallel quantity of packed catch weight materials.
For more information, see Editing the Physical Inventory and Displaying the Physical Inventory.
Entering Count Results for Physical Inventory
When you enter the count results for the inventory, you can specify the actual counted quantity of the individual inventory items in both the logistics and the parallel
quantity (see also Entering Count Results for Physical Inventory).
Analyzing and Clearing Inventory Count Results
During physical inventory document analysis, you analyze quantity-based differences with reference to the base quantity or the parallel quantity. Inventory
differences are only displayed if you exceed a defined percentage rate. To define this, you enter the required percentage rate on the Analysis criteria subscreen,
in the Quantity-based variance field.
When you clear inventory differences in inventory management, differences in both the logistics and the parallel quantity are taken into account.
For more information, see Analyzing Inventory Count Results and Clearing Physical Inventory Differences.

Calculating and Correcting Stock Differences
Use
You use the report /CWM/RHU_STOCK_DIFFERENCES to calculate and correct differences between HU stock and IM inventory management.
Features
Stock differences are related to the parallel quantity. These differences occur in the following applications if you change the parallel quantity for HUs placed in
storage, but not the logistics quantity. This happens if you change the parallel quantity in the following applications:
Confirmation of a transfer order
Packing in a delivery
Creation of unrestricted-use handling units
In each of these cases it is important that you correct the stock differences and adjust the IM stock to the HU stock.
Note that running this report can impair system performance. You should therefore ensure that you select the appropriate criteria and perform the
report as a background job.

1.1.12 Radio Frequency
Use
PUBLIC
Page 9 of 32
In Warehouse Management, you can use mobile data entry devices to enter catch weight materials that you can then pack and unpack in handling units.
Features
In addition to the logistics quantity, you can also enter the parallel quantity. When packing and unpacking take place, the system performs checks against the
tolerance group defined in the material master record to ensure that all the handling units created are consistent.
In the standard system, the parallel quantity and parallel unit of measure fields are not displayed in the RF transactions. To be able to use these, you must
activate the appropriate screen exits. For more information, see SAP Note 738159.

1.2 Sales and Distribution (SD)
Purpose
Based onmySAP ERP, the SAP Catch Weight Management solution provides industry-specific functions in the area of Sales and Distribution (SD).
Integration
As valuations are performed in inventory accounting, the following changes are made:
The transfer price in the order is usually taken from the most recently calculated inventory price in inventory accounting. If no current inventory price is
maintained in inventory accounting, the order uses the standard price.
The transfer price in the billing document is taken from the values actually posted in the goods issues.

1.2.1 Delivery-Related Billing
Use
In the SAP Catch Weight Management solution you transfer the actual delivery quantity to the billing document.
Integration
The transfer price is transferred from the goods issue posting to the billing document. You cannot change the corresponding condition value in the billing document.
Prerequisites
In your costing sheet you have assigned condition formula 420 to condition type PR00.
In Customizing for the ERP system , choose Sales and Distribution Basic Functions Pricing Pricing Control Define and Assign Pricing
Procedures .
If you use pricing scales, you assign scale formula 425 to the condition type PR00.
In Customizing in the ERP system , choose Sales and Distribution Basic Functions Pricing Pricing Control Define Condition Types .
You have ensured that all the checkboxes for invoice separation indicators are selected for all the document types that are used for catch weight-related billing
PUBLIC
Page 10 of 32
documents.
In Customizing in the ERP system , choose Sales and Distribution Billing Billing Documents Define Billing Types.
Features
The billing document copies delivery quantity details from the delivery. For catch weight materials, the quantity is transferred to the billing document in the base
unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure, and can be taken into account for quantity-dependent conditions. Using this information pricing can then redefine
the condition basis in line with the three following cases (it is assumed here that the parallel unit of measure is the same as the valuation unit of measure):
The condition unit of measure is not the same as the valuation unit of measure.
In this case, the condition basis is calculated using the conversion factor that is defined in the material master. Using the base unit of measure, the sales unit
of measure is converted to the condition unit of measure.
The condition unit of measure of a material is box (BOX), the valuation unit of measure (=parallel unit of measure) is kilogram (KG). A planned
conversion factor of 1 BOX = 10 KG is defined in the material master. If orders of this material exceed 10KG, pricing defines the condition basis of
1 BOX from the planned conversion factor.
The condition unit of measure is the same as the valuation unit of measure.
Conversion is therefore not necessary here. The quantity in the valuation unit of measure is immediately adopted as the condition basis.
The condition unit of measure of a material is kilogram (KG), the valuation unit of measure (= parallel unit of measure) is also KG. If an order of this
material exceeds 10 KG and for a delivery of 10 KG, pricing immediately transfers 10 KG to the billing document as the condition basis.
The condition unit of measure references the valuation unit of measure.
In this case, pricing converts the unit of measure taken from the delivery to the valuation unit of measure. For this to work the condition unit of measure must
have the same dimension as the valuation unit of measure.
The condition unit of measure of a material is ton (TON), the valuation unit of measure is kilogram (KG). 10 TONs are billed for an order and
delivery of 1,000 KG of this material.
Example
The following are examples of definitions made for the material pig half:
Parallel unit of measure (= valuation unit of measure): KG
Planned conversion factor in the material master: 1 PC = 75 KG
Condition unit of measure: KG
You receive an order for 10 pig half pieces. Using the planned conversion factor in the material master, this would equal 750 KG. The planned conversion factor is
used as the basis for pricing in the order. This means that if the condition basis is 750 KG and the price is 1.10 EUR/KG, the condition value is 825 EUR.
You deliver 10 pig half pieces, with a total weight of 800 KG. This information is transferred from the delivery to the billing document. As the condition basis is now
800 KG and the price is 1.10 EUR/KG, the condition value is 880 EUR.

1.2.2 Order-Related Billing
Use
SAP Catch Weight Management supports billing for third-party transactions. This is possible for catch weight materials, on the basis of previously posted
statistical goods receipts.
As the actual weights are missing in the parallel unit of measure in the sales order, it is not possible to perform any other type of order-related
billing for catch weight materials.
Prerequisites
You have previously posted a statistical goods receipt for the third-party deal.
Goods receipt-related invoice verification is active.
You have defined billing relevance F(order-related billing based on the invoice quantity) for the item category of the order. In general, item category TAS is
defaulted for the third-party deal.
You make this setting in Customizing for Sales and Distribution under Sales Sales Documents Sales Document Item Define Item Categories.
F (invoice receipt quantity minus previously billed quantity) or E (goods receipt quantity minus previously billed quantity) is defined as the billing quantity
indicator for copy control.
You make this setting in Customizing for Sales and Distribution under Billing Billing Documents Maintain Copy Control for Billing Documents. In
general, the billing quantity indicator E is set in the Copy Control: Sales Document to Billing Document activity for header entry F2 (invoice), after TA
(standard order) for the item category TAS.
When creating purchase orders from the order, you enter the quantities in the base unit of measure.

1.2.3 Returns Processing
Use
In the SAP Catch Weight Management solution you create returns with reference to order, contract release order and billing document. You create the
corresponding credit memo using either a returns delivery or with reference to the billing document. It is not possible to create credit memos with reference to
returns.
Example
Returns processing could, for example, be performed in the following steps:
1. You create a request.
2. You make the delivery.
3. You create the invoice.
4. You receive a complaint.
5. You create a return.
a. A suitable copy routine exists for returns with reference to an order.
b. You must define a new copy routine for returns with reference to a billing document. The unit of measure used for the return must be the same as the unit
of measure in the corresponding order.
In Customizing for the ERP system, choose Sales and Distribution Sales Maintain Copy Control for Sales Documents Copying Control:
Billing Document to Sales Document.
Ensure that the creation of referenced returns has an effect on past and subsequent processes.
6. You register the receipt of goods using a returns delivery.
7. You create a credit memo with reference to a returns delivery or with reference to a billing document.
As returns deliveries and billing documents contain data on the quantity in both the sales unit of measure and in the parallel unit of measure, you can create a
credit memo for the quantity actually delivered.
If you want to create credit memos with reference to a returns delivery, you must define a suitable copy routine. In Customizing for the ERP
system, choose Sales and Distribution Sales Maintain Copy Control for Sales Documents Copying Control: Billing Document to
Sales Document.

1.2.4 Credit and Debit Memo Requests
Procedure in the ERP system
You can request credit or debit memos in the ERP system if, for example, the prices you have calculated are too high or too low (see also Complaints). The
dual control principle allows you to block and release complaints (see also Blocking and Releasing Complaints).
Procedure in SAP Catch Weight Management
In the SAP Catch Weight Management solution you cannot create credit or debit memo requests for catch weight materials.
Instead you create a credit or debit memo with direct reference to a billing document. If you want to ensure that the dual control principle is used for complaints,
you can block transfer to accounting. For this to work, the credit or debit memo must have posting status A (billing document for transfer to accounting blocked).
You can block printing of credit and debit memos by making the appropriate setting in message control. To do this, call transaction VOFM and choose
Requirements Output Control. You can use requirement 62 (with include LV61B062) for reference purposes.

Inventory Management and Inventory (MM-IM)
Purpose
Based on the ERP system, SAP Catch Weight Management (SAP CWM) provides industry-specific functions in the area of Inventory Management (MM-IM).
Integration
All materials in this solution are valuated in Inventory Accounting.

1.3.2.1 Goods Movements
PUBLIC
Page 13 of 32
Use
Goods movements can be performed in Inventory Management using:
Transaction MIGO
The inventory
BAPIs
The system does not support batch input.
Integration
In SAP Catch Weight Management ( SAP CWM ), the valuation takes place in Inventory Accounting.
For this reason, only quantities are entered in Inventory Management. The corresponding values are calculated in inventory accounting. The result of this is that, as
with all documents that are created in inventory management, the purchase order history contains no values, only quantities.
For valuation purposes, inventory accounting always uses the quantity whose unit of measure is defined in the material master as the valuation unit of measure.
This can be either the quantity in the base unit of measure or parallel unit of measure (see also Defining Material Master Data for a Catch Weight Material).
Features
Entering the Parallel Quantity
For goods movements with catch weight materials, it is necessary to specify the quantity in both the entry unit of measure and the parallel entry unit of measure. If
necessary, the purchase order price quantity is taken from the entry quantity.
The entry quantity and the parallel entry quantity are connected as described below:
If you define only one of the two entry quantities, the system proposes the quantity that has not been entered.
For more information, see the documentation for Business Add-In (BAdI) /CWM/DEFAULT_MIGO.
If one of the two entry quantities is greater than zero, the other entry quantity must also be greater than zero.
The only place where one entry quantity can be zero and the other can be something different is in the physical inventory.
Movement Types
The system supports the movement types listed in the following table. The system also supports all corresponding movement types used to cancel goods
movements. The system does not support any other movement types.

Consumption Indicator
The only consumption indicator that is permitted for consumption is (V) . You can perform account assignment for the following objects:
Cost center
Production order
Internal order
The consumption indicators asset (A), sales order (E) and projec t (P) may not be used.
Special Stocks
For an overview of the special stocks supported in SAP CWM, see Special Stocks.
Examples
Goods receipt
You have ordered 20 pig halves. Based on the planned conversion factor of 1 PC = 80 KG, you expected a delivery of 1,600 KG. However, when you count and
weigh the delivery in the goods receiving department, you discover that although the delivery contained 20 pieces, it only weighed 1,500 KG.
You record this, as follows, when you post the goods receipt:
On the Quantity tab page, you change the quantity in the parallel entry unit of measure from 1,600 KG to 1,500 KG.
This is the quantity in the parallel unit of measure.
As you have received the expected 20 pieces, you can leave the quantity in the entry unit of measure as 20 pieces.
This is the quantity in the base unit of measure.

1.3.2.1.1 Stock Transfer
Use
You can use company-code-internal stock transport orders to perform stock transfers. Depending on the settings in the material master record, you can enter the
order quantity in one of the following units of measure:
Base unit of measurement
Parallel unit of measure
Alternative unit of measure
If you post without shipping, you use transaction MIGO to enter the goods movements for stock transport orders. This allows you to enter the quantities in the base
and the parallel unit of measure.
Individual batch valuation
For materials with individual batch valuation, you must enter the batch that the system is to post during the goods receipt or goods issue in the stock transport
order.
"Delivery Completed" Indicator
You can also set the inward delivery completed indicator for stock transport orders if you have only taken one partial quantity from the stock in transit. You can then
use report /CWM/CHECK_TRANSIT to make an adjustment posting.

Analysis of Stock in Transit from Stock Transport Orders
Use
In SAP Catch Weight Management (SAP CWM), you can use transaction /CWM/CHECK_TRANSIT to analyze the stock in transit.
For stock transfers, this report displays differences between the goods issue quantity and the goods receipt quantity. If you have set the inward delivery completed
indicator, you can post this difference. The system posts the quantity from the stock in transit and the value back to the supplying plant stock (movement types
C51 and C52).
You can use transaction MIGO (movement type 557 issue from stock in transit (adjustment posting)) to adjust differences between the database and the
material documents.
Activities
1. Choose transaction /CWM/CHECK_TRANSIT.
PUBLIC
Page 16 of 32
2. Enter the criteria the system should use to display the stock in transit (for example, material, plant).
Choose Execute .
3. Depending on the physical inventory selected, the system displays:
Differences that are not to be assigned to a purchase order
Differences for each inward delivery completed purchase order item
4. To post inventory differences for purchase orders with an inward delivery completed indicator, choose Post Quantities .

1.3.2.1.2 Subcontracting
Use
Goods receipt for subcontract order
You can use transaction MIGO to enter quantities for goods receipts for subcontract orders in the base and the parallel unit of measure.
If you display the subcontracting components, you can enter the quantities in the base and the parallel unit of measure. When you do this, you overwrite the
standard conversion factor from the material master record. If you do not display the subcontracting components, the system uses the standard conversion factor to
calculate the quantities from the bill of material in the base unit of measure.
Subsequent adjustment
You can use transaction MIGO to enter quantities to be adjusted subsequently in the base and the parallel unit of measure. In addition, you can use an
indicator at item level to specify whether the quantities to be adjusted subsequently relate to an underconsumption or a short receipt.

Goods Receipt for Purchase Order to GR Blocked Stock
Use
You can post a goods receipt for a purchase order to the goods receipt blocked stock (GR blocked stock) (movement type 103) with transaction MIGO and
enter the quantity in the base and the parallel unit of measure.
When doing this, ensure you enter the parallel quantity correctly (for example, by weighing), as only certain corrections can be made to the
parallel quantity when releasing the GR blocked stock (movement type 105).
If you take the entire base or parallel quantity from the GR blocked stock, you must also use the entire quantity of the other quantity, in other words the base or
parallel quantity, so that no quantity remains in the blocked stock. This applies to the each withdrawal from the GR blocked stock, for each movement type:
104 (goods receipt for purchase order to GR blocked stock cancellation)
105 (release from the GR blocked stock to the purchase order)
We recommend that you post default values when releasing the GR blocked stock (movement type 105).
You cannot perform a physical inventory for the GR blocked stock.
Example
You enter the goods receipt for a purchase order of 10 PC and 100 KG with movement type 103 (goods receipt for purchase order to the GR blocked stock). The
standard conversion factor is 1 PC = 100 KG.
You post a release of 9 PC and 98 KG from the GR blocked stock (movement type 105).
You must post the remaining quantity of 1 PC and 2 KG from the GR blocked stock (with movement type 104 or 105), which does not correspond to the standard
conversion factor. If you have customized a tolerance level for the conversion factor in the material master, this may not be reached or may be exceeded. As a
result, you cannot post the remaining quantities from the GR blocked stock.

1.3.2.2 Inventory
Use
When performing physical inventory preparation, physical inventory count and physical inventory analysis, you must enter the quantity in both the base
unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure.
PUBLIC
Page 17 of 32
Features
Printing a physical inventory document
In SAP Catch Weight Management, print report RM07IDRU is called automatically to print physical inventory documents. In the standard system, form
/CWM/INVENT is assigned to this print report. This form can be used for the physical inventory count of quantities in the base unit of measure and the parallel unit
of measure.
If you want to change this setting, in Customizing in the ERP system, choose Materials Management Inventory Management and Physical Inventory Print
Control Assign Forms (Layout Sets) for Print Reports.
For more information, see Printing Physical Inventory Documents.
Entering a physical inventory count
For a physical inventory count, you must enter the quantity in the base unit of measure (unit of entry) and the parallel unit of measure (PUoM entry unit of
measure). These two quantities are entered independently of one another. This means that you can, for example, enter the following inventory count:
Quantity in entry unit of measure: 0 PC (zero count)
Quantity in PUoM entry unit of measure: 5 KG
For more information, see Entering a Physical Inventory Count.
Posting inventory differences
When you post inventory differences, the count, book and difference quantity are displayed in the base unit of measure and in the parallel unit of measure. The
difference amount refers to the difference quantity in the valuation unit of measure.
For more information, see Posting Inventory Differences.
Inventory history
On the Quantities and Values subscreen, the inventory history also displays information about the following quantities:
Quantity in parallel unit of measure (PUoM)
Book quantity PUoM
Difference quantity PUoM
Difference amount
For more information about the inventory history, see Information on Physical Inventory.

Physical Inventory for Stock in Quality Inspection
Use
In SAP Catch Weight Management (SAP CWM), you can perform a physical inventory for stock in quality inspection, with or without inspection lot processing, for
both catch weight materials (CW materials) and standard materials. For catch weight materials, quantities can be adjusted in the base and the parallel unit of
measure.
Features
Enter physical inventory count (transaction MI04)
You can enter the quantities counted for catch weight materials in the base and the parallel unit of measure.
For more information, see Entering a Physical Inventory Count.
Change physical inventory count (transaction MI05)
As long as the physical inventory document has not been posted, you can change the quantities counted in the base and the parallel unit of measure.
For more information, see Changing a Physical Inventory Count.
Display physical inventory count (MI06)
You can display the quantities counted in the base and the parallel unit of measure.
Post physical inventory differences (transaction MI07)
The system determines the difference quantities in the base and the parallel unit of measure. When the physical inventory difference is posted, the stock in
quality inspection is adjusted in SAP LIME. At the same time, the system corrects the quantities in the base and the parallel unit of measure.
For more information, see Posting Physical Inventory Differences.

6. If you choose the quick info text Handling Unit in the column HU , the screen Display Handling Units appears .
On the Pack Material , Pack HUs and Total Content tab pages, you can view detailed information about the selected handling unit (see also Packing-
Relevant Overviews).

1.3.3.2 Stock Differences
Use
In SAP Catch Weight Management ( SAP CWM ), you can use transaction /CWM/STOCK_CHECK to determine stock differences. Stock differences occur if there
are variances between the quantity in the base unit of measure and the quantity in the parallel unit of measure that exceed or fall below set tolerance levels. Stock
differences may, for example, be caused by natural weight variations in material withdrawals.
Prerequisites
You have created a tolerance group in the material master for the material for which you want to determine possible stock differences.
Activities
1. Choose transaction /CWM/STOCK_CHECK.
2. On the Selection criteria tab page, enter the criteria (material, batch, plant, storage location, stock type, base unit of measure, parallel unit of measure,
alternative unit of measure) according to which stock differences should be displayed.
3. On the List Display tab page, you can choose between Perform Tolerance Check , Display Negative Stock and Display Zero Stock :
a. Perform Tolerance Check : The system displays stock for materials with a tolerance variation, with no tolerance group or whose tolerance group is not
defined in the system.
b. Display Negative Stock : The system displays negative stock. This can relate to stock in the base unit of measure and in the parallel unit of measure.
In this case, the system does not perform a tolerance check.
c. Display Zero Stock (BuoM/PuoM)
The system displays stock that is only zero in reference to one unit of measure (either in the base unit of measure or in the parallel unit of measure). If a
stock is zero in both units of measure it is not displayed. In this case, the system does not perform a tolerance check.
You can use the Handling Unit indicator to control the handling unit (HU) symbol that is displayed to show that HUs exist for the material. In addition, the
system displays the HU stock of the material in the parallel unit of measure.
4. Choose Execute .
5. The screen Check Stock Difference appears.
PUBLIC
Page 20 of 32
The stock on this screen is displayed for the selected materials in the base unit of measure and in the parallel unit of measure. In the Status column, you
can also find details about the type of stock difference:
a. The symbol shows that, relative to the quantity in the base unit of measure, the quantity in the parallel unit of measure is below the defined tolerance
limit.
b. The symbol shows that, relative to the quantity in the base unit of measure, the quantity in the parallel unit of measure exceeds the defined tolerance
limit.
c. The symbol shows that no tolerance group is defined for the selected material in the material master, or that the tolerance group is not defined in the
system.
You can use different hotspots to display, for example, the material master record, the batch, the customer and vendor master record, or the physical
inventory document.
You can also call the following functions:
Create physical inventory for material that is not in a WM storage location.
Post quantity in parallel unit of measure for a WM storage location if no quantity exists in the base unit of measure.
Call HU monitor
Call the Stock Differences of HU to IM Inventory Management report to perform a stock comparison
Example
There is zero stock for the material Parma ham in plant Z100 and storage location Z101. This means that there is no Parma ham in stock in the warehouse,
however, the Check stock difference screen shows that there are still 25 KG in stock. As this difference exceeds the tolerance level defined in the material
master, the symbol is displayed in the column Status .
The stock difference is the result of air-drying the ham. At the point of goods receipt, you posted 10 pieces of ham with a total weight of 100 KG. As the ham loses
weight between the point of goods receipt and goods issue, you post another 10 pieces of ham with a total weight of 75 KG. In this way, the quantity remains the
same although the weight has decreased. This means that for 25 KG the quantity is 0.

1.3.3.3 SC Stock Monitoring for Vendor
Use
In SAP Catch Weight Management ( SAP CWM ), you can use transaction ME2O to monitor stocks of material provided to the vendor.
The system displays the stock, the available stock and the requirement in the base and the parallel unit of measure.
The system can only determine planned requirements (for example, from reservations) with the planned conversion factor, as it only works with
one unit of measure in planning. However, for goods movements, the system takes into account the actual quantity in the parallel unit of measure.
From the SC Stock Monitoring for Vendor function, you can provide components for existing purchase orders in the following ways :
As goods issues via Inventory Management
As deliveries via shipping
When you call these functions, you can also enter the quantities in the parallel unit of measure.
For more information, see Providing Components for Existing Purchase Orders.

Logistics Invoice Verification (MM-IV)
Purpose
Based on mySAP ERP, the SAP Catch Weight Management solution provides industry-specific functions in the area of 1.3.4 Logistics Invoice Verification
(MM-IV).

1.3.4.1 Entering Incoming Invoices
Use
You can also use the SAP Catch Weight Management solution to enter incoming invoices that relate to orders for catch weight materials.
This solution supports transaction MIRO, which is used to process invoice items.
Features
If you want to enter the data from the incoming invoice, you compare the proposed quantities and values for each item.
The quantities are displayed in order unit and order price unit. If the order unit and the order price unit are not identical, you can only enter the quantity in the order
PUBLIC
Page 21 of 32
unit.
If there is a difference between the quantity entered at the point of goods receipt and the quantity in the invoice, you can change the proposed quantities and
values.
Example
You receive an invoice for 1,920 EUR. This invoice refers to the following purchase order:
20 pig halves
Planned conversion factor: 1 PC = 80 KG
Net price 1.20 EUR/KG
When the goods were received, 20 pig halves were counted. However, instead of the expected 1,600 KG the total for these was only 1,565.
When entering the incoming invoice the system proposes a quantity of 800 KG that would correspond to the purchase order. You can change the quantity (1,565)
and the net price (1,878) according to the goods receipt and then post the document.

Invoice Verification Online

Posting Logic in Logistics Invoice Verification
Purpose
The logistics invoice verification function has been adapted for use in the SAP Catch Weight Management solution.
The following transactions are supported:
MIRO for posting incoming invoices, credit memos, credit memo and debit memo requests
MIR4 for displaying invoice documents
MR8M for reversing invoice documents
MR11 for maintaining GR/IR clearing accounts
The system does not support direct postings made to stock accounts using transaction MIRO.
Process Flow
1. When you post the goods receipt, the system makes an offsetting posting of the entire inventory value to the GR/IR clearing account.
This posting is performed in Inventory Accounting and is also transferred to the ERP system .
2. Invoice verification posts the entire invoice amount (without tax) to the GR/IR clearing account (in the ERP system and in Inventory Accounting).
Payables are only posted in the ERP system.
3. Periodic clearing of the GR/IR clearing account in Inventory Accounting clears the GR/IR clearing account for closed purchase orders.
The clearing posting is made to a price difference account.
4. The system does not perform clearing in the GR/IR clearing account for quantity differences between the goods receipt and invoice.
a. To clear the account you must clear the quantities in the GR/IR clearing account yourself using transaction MR11. The data is then transferred to
Inventory Accounting. Transaction MR11 is also used for quantity-based clearing of the GR/IR clearing account (see also GR/IR Clearing Account
Maintenance).
b. Once the quantities in the GR/IR clearing account are cleared, you can also clear the values from the GR/IR clearing account in Inventory Accounting.
The necessary clearing postings are made in a price difference account.
Third-Party Processing
You must post a statistical goods receipt for third-party processing. To enable you to do this, the system ensures that the goods receipt indicator is set for the
third-party purchase order. This means that goods receipts are permitted and that the third-party process will be invoiced using goods receipt-based invoice
verification. The inventory value is posted to a GR/IR clearing account at the point of goods receipt. The GR/IR clearing account is cleared when the invoice is
received.

1.4 Logistics Execution (LE)

PUBLIC
Page 22 of 32
1.4.1 Delivery
Purpose
Based on the ERP system, the SAP Catch Weight Management solution provides industry-specific functions for the delivery.
Constraints
In the application Subsequent Outbound Delivery Split (transaction VLSP), it is not possible to subsequently split delivery items that contain catch weight
materials.

Creating a Delivery
Use
This function allows you to take account of the quantity in both the logistics unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure.
In the following documentation the term delivery is used to designate both an inbound delivery and an outbound delivery.
Integration
Integration with Handling Unit Management
If you change a handling unit, the changed data is updated to the delivery.
If you only pack a partial quantity of the delivery quantity, the parallel quantity details that you entered at the point of packing are transferred to the delivery. The
remaining quantity that has not been packed is determined using plan conversion. After packing, the delivery quantity in the parallel unit of measure is composed
of one part whose actual weight has been entered and of another part whose weight is determined using plan conversion.
For more information, see Handling Unit Management.
Integration with Warehouse Management
When you confirm a transfer order and enter the picking quantity in the parallel unit of measure, this data is transferred to the delivery (see also Warehouse
Management).
Features
To create a delivery you can also use the tab page Catch Weight . On this tab page you can enter the delivery quantity and the picked quantity in the logistics
unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure.
The following applies when you are entering data in the field Delivery Quantity in PUoM :
If no data exists about the delivery quantity in the parallel unit of measure when you are creating the delivery, this value is initially determined using plan
conversion. This is the case, for example, if you create a delivery with reference to a purchase order.
If data relating to the delivery quantity in the parallel unit of measure exists when you create the delivery, it is incorporated into the delivery. This is the case, for
example, if you create a delivery with reference to goods movements.

Delivery Unit of Measure
Order Unit of Measure
For a catch weight material delivery, the general rule is that the delivery quantity is not specified in the parallel unit of measure. Depending on the unit of measure
used in the order, two different scenarios can occur.
Delivery: Scenario 1
The sales unit of measure has a fixed conversion factor for the base unit of measure.
In this case, you perform the delivery as follows:
1. You create a delivery with reference to an order.
PUBLIC
Page 23 of 32
a. The delivery quantity in the sales unit of measure (SUoM) is taken from the order quantity.
b. The delivery quantity in the logistics unit of measure (LUoM) is taken from the delivery quantity in the SUoM.
c. The delivery quantity in the logistics unit of measure (LUoM) is taken from the delivery quantity in the SUoM.
2. You create a transfer order for the delivery.
You enter the pick quantity in the LUoM. The system automatically proposes the actual pick quantity in the PUoM.
3. You confirm the transfer order.
a. You confirm the pick quantity in the LUoM and the PUoM.
b. The delivery quantity in the SUoM is taken from the delivery quantity in the LUoM.
c. The delivery quantity in the LUoM is taken from the confirmed pick quantity, if the Copy Picking Quantity indicator is set.
d. If you transfer the picked quantity to the delivery, the confirmed picked quantity in the PUoM is updated to the delivery quantity in the PUoM.
4. You post the goods receipt or goods issue.
Delivery: Scenario 2
The sales unit of measure has no fixed conversion factor for the base unit of measure.
Provided that a transfer order is created for each delivery item and that the pick quantity is transferred to the delivery quantity, you peform the delivery as follows:
1. You create a delivery with reference to an order.
a. The delivery quantity is determined using plan conversion from the order quantity in the PUoM.
b. The delivery quantity in the PUoM is taken from the order quantity in the PUoM.
2. You create a transfer order for the delivery.
You enter the pick quantity in the LUoM. The system automatically proposes the actual pick quantity in the PUoM.
3. You confirm the transfer order.
a. You confirm the pick quantity in the LUoM and in the PUoM.
b. The delivery quantity is taken from the confirmed pick quantity in the SUoM, if the Copy Picking Quantity indicator is set.
c. The delivery quantity in the PUoM is taken from the confirmed pick quantity in the PUoM.
This completes the delivery. It is, however, possible that the order is not yet completed. In this case, you can create a new delivery using the difference
quantity between the order quantity in the PUoM and the delivery quantity in the PUoM and pick it again.
Example for Scenario 2
Material master for the material pig half
Parallel unit of measure: KG
Plan conversion factor: 1 PC = 75 KG
Order
You receive an order for 750 KG of pig halves. Based on the plan conversion factor defined in the material master, this would correspond to 10 PC.
Delivery
You create a delivery for 10 PC.
Transfer Order
You create the following transfer order for this delivery:
Pick quantity: 10 PC
Pick quantity PUoM: 750 PC
You perform picking and confirm the transfer order with 10 PC and 740 KG. You transfer the pick quantity to the delivery. The delivery quantity is therefore
updated as 10 PC and the delivery quantity in the PUoM as 740 KG.
Completion
The delivery is performed with 10 PC, but the order is not (740 KG < 750 KG). As you cannot deliver the entire order, you create a new delivery for the difference
quantity of 10 KG.

Synchronizing Weight and Volume
Net Weight or Volume
After you confirm a transfer order for a catch weight material in a logistics and a parallel unit of measure, the system adjusts the net weight or volume in the
delivery. However, this only applies in cases where the parallel unit of measure for the catch weight material has the dimension weight or volume.
Gross Weight
In the aforementioned case, the gross weight is also adjusted in the delivery. The gross weight is determined from the net weight that was entered when the
transfer order was confirmed and from data relating to the difference between the gross and the net weight in the material master.
Example
The following data is stored in the material master for the material pig half :
Material Master
Base unit of measure PC
Parallel unit of measure KG
Plan conversion factor 1 PC = 75 KG
Net weight 75 KG
PUBLIC
Page 24 of 32
Gross weight 77 KG
Delivery (with a transfer order)
You create a delivery for an order of 10 PC. On the basis of the master data, the delivery has a net weight of 750 KG and a gross weight of 770 KG.
You create a transfer order for 10 PC and then pick and confirm the transfer order with the following details: 11 PC with a net weight of 755 KG and a gross weight
of 777 KG (this equals: 775 KG + 11 x 2 KG). The net weight is derived from weighing the order at the point of picking, while the gross weight is attained using
the actual net weight and the gross weight data found in the material master.

Batch Determination
Use
You use this function if you want to perform batch determination when you are creating the delivery or confirming the transfer order.
Features
You trigger batch determination by selecting a delivery item and then choosing Goto Item Batch Split . The split screen for batch determination
appears. You can trigger batch determination here (see also Batch Determination for Deliveries).
Batch determination always takes place with reference to the delivery quantity in the logistics unit of measure.
With batch split items you can also enter the parallel quantity.

Proof of Delivery
Use
In the SAP Catch Weight Management solution, proof of delivery takes account of the quantity in both the logistics unit of measure and the parallel unit of
measure. If differences occur during confirmation, the system takes the quantities in both units of measurement into account.
Integration
The billing document copies data about the actual quantity delivered from the delivery confirmation receipt (see also Delivery-Related Billing).

1.4.2 Warehouse Management (LE-WM)
Purpose
Based on mySAP ERP,SAP Catch Weight Management provides industry-specific functions in the area of Warehouse Management (LE-WM).
Constraints
Transfer orders for the cross-docking process
Picking of bulk storage types with transaction LM05 for mobile data entry (RF-transaction). For more information about radio frequency use in SAP Catch
Weight Management, see SAP Note 738159.
For a complete overview of all deactivated transactions, function modules and reports, see the following:
/CWM/TRAN_EXCL (deactivated transactions)
/CWM/FUNC_EXCL (deactivated function modules)
/CWM/REPO_EXCL (deactivated reports)

1.4.2.1 Transfer Orders
Use
In SAP Catch Weight Management, transfer orders (TO) consider both the logistics quantity and the parallel quantity in the following cases:
PUBLIC
Page 25 of 32
Transfer orders for delivery documents in which the parallel quantity has not been entered
Transfer orders in an HU-managed storage location
Features
Display transfer order
For catch weight materials (CW materials), the target quantity and the actual quantity are entered at item level in a transfer order in both the logistics unit of
measure and the parallel unit of measure, on the subscreen According to data .
Confirm transfer order
When confirming a transfer order you must also enter the following details for catch weight materials:
Parallel quantity for TO item
Unit of measure for parallel quantity of TO item
If stock differences occur, these are immediately posted to the interim record for differences. The interim record for differences only carries quantities in the logistics
unit of measure.
When entire handling units are picked, the system proposes the parallel quantity of the HU item. The system does not specify any default value for a partial stock
pick of a handling unit or for any other type of stock pick.
The system proposes either the unit of measure from the preceding document or the handling unit as the unit of measure for the parallel quantity.
In Customizing, you define whether transfer orders are to be confirmed in one or two steps. If you confirm transfer orders in two steps, a default parameter ensures
that the parallel quantity is entered at the point of picking. You can use Business Add-In (BAdI) /CWM/LES_TO_CONF_TIM to make a setting to ensure that the
parallel quantity is only entered when the transfer takes place. For HU-managed storage locations and two-step confirmation, the parallel quantity can only be
entered during the pick step.
Confirm transfer order immediately
In the following cases you can confirm a transfer order immediately:
For internal storage location movements without delivery reference
When moving complete handling units within HU-managed storage locations. In this case, the system uses the handling unit to determine the parallel quantity
and the parallel unit of measure.
Confirm transfer order with nested handling units
When you confirm a transfer order for a delivery with nested handling units, you can use the Variance in Parallel UoM function to branch to entry of lower-level
handling units. For a complete stock pick, the system proposes all lower-level handling units with logistics and parallel quantities. For a partial stock pick, you
can use input help to select the lower-level handling units.
You can use BAdI /CWM/LES_TO_CONF_QTY to change the default data, for example, the parallel quantity, for a complete stock pick.
Confirm transfer order for a storage unit
When you confirm a transfer order for a storage unit, you can enter the parallel quantity and the parallel unit of measure for CW materials. For nested handling
units, you can use the Variance in Parallel UoM function to branch to entry of lower-level handling units.
Bulk storage
You can confirm transfer orders with CW materials for picking from bulk storage.
Cross-outbound-delivery transfer order
For CW materials, you can create a transfer order for several outbound deliveries. The prerequisite for this is that you have activated the deferred delivery
update.

1.4.2.2 Posting Changes
Use
You can use the following functions to post changes for catch weight materials (CW material). To do this, the system considers both the logistics quantity and the
parallel quantity.
Posting changes in WMS and in MM-IM (LQ02)
Posting changes from storage location to storage location (LQ01)
Features
PUBLIC
Page 26 of 32
Posting changes in WMS and in MM-IM
You can perform a posting change for stock in one storage bin ( Quant) directly in the Warehouse Management system (WMS), without having to have
triggered it beforehand in Inventory Management (MM-IM) . The system executes this posting change directly in Inventory Management, and displays the CW
material stock for each quant in the logistics unit of measure, and the parallel unit of measure.
If you repost a catch weight material in an HU-managed storage location, the system automatically uses the parallel quantity from the handling unit. If the CW
material is not in an HU-managed storage location you have the following options:
You can enter the parallel quantity in a dialog box.
You can choose the Propose Parallel Quantity function. The system proposes the parallel quantity.
If you use centralized Warehouse Management, the system uses the current storage location average for the material or batch to determine the parallel
quantity.
If you use decentralized Warehouse Management, the system uses the plan conversion factor from the material master record to determine the parallel
quantity.
For more information, see Automatic Posting Changes from the WMS in Inventory Management .
Posting changes from storage location to storage location
You can execute posting changes for CW materials from one storage location to another. Posting changes can be performed:
Automatically after confirming transfer orders
Cumulated in the background using report RLLQ0100
For cumulated posting changes, in Customizing for Warehouse Management under Interfaces Inventory Management Define Storage Location
Control Stor. Location Control in Warehouse Mgmt , you set the Combine post. changes indicator .
For CW materials in HU-managed storage locations, the system uses the handling unit to determine the parallel quantity.
A cumulated posting change of CW materials cannot be made to storage locations that are not HU-managed. In this case, the system issues an
information message when a transfer order is created stating that this posting change cannot be cumulated, and is therefore performed
automatically.
For more information, see Posting Changes Between Storage Locations.

1.4.2.3 Return Transfers
Use
You can return deliveries of catch weight materials (CW materials) that have already been picked to the warehouse. If you return a partial quantity of a delivery
item, you can enter the parallel quantity of the CW material. You have the following options:
You can enter the parallel quantity in a dialog box.
You can choose the Propose Parallel Quantity function. The system proposes the parallel quantity.
If you use centralized warehouse management, the system uses the current storage location average for the material or batch to determine the parallel quantity.
If you use decentralized warehouse management, the system uses the plan conversion factor from the material master record to determine the parallel quantity.

1.4.2.4 Inventory in Warehouse Management
Use
You use this function to perform a physical inventory in Warehouse Management (WM) in SAP Catch Weight Management (SAP CWM), and to correctly
transfer the stock counted here to Inventory Management.
Features
Performing the WM inventory
In a WM inventory, you only enter quantities in the logistics unit of measure. The associated parallel quantities are not available in Warehouse Management.
Clearing differences to Inventory Management
If differences related to the logistics unit of measure are discovered during a WM inventory, proceed as follows:
1. Enter the differences in the physical inventory document.
2. Post the differences to the interim record for differences.
3. Post the differences to Inventory Management.
PUBLIC
Page 27 of 32
4. Inventory Management adjusts the quantity in the logistics unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure.
Based on the differences in the logistical unit of measure, the current parallel quantity is determined using the current, average conversion factor.
Before clearing a difference, the following stock exists:
Quantity in base unit of measure: 12 PC
Quantity in parallel unit of measure: 235.87 KG
Current average conversion factor: 235.87 KG/12 PC = 19.66
During the WM inventory you discover that one piece is missing and post this difference in Inventory Management.
After you have cleared the difference, the following stock exists:
Quantity in base unit of measure: 11 PC
Quantity in parallel unit of measure: 216.21 KG
This corresponds to the following calculation: 235.87 KG (1 PC x 19.66 KG/PC).
Correcting the parallel quantity
In Warehouse Management, you perform a physical inventory for each storage bin or quant, but the stock view in Inventory Management relates to a material at
storage location level. In Warehouse Management, a quantity is only available in a logistics unit of measure, while in Inventory Management stock is carried in a
logistics unit of measure and a parallel unit of measure.
To perform an inventory for catch weight materials in a parallel unit of measure in storage locations managed by Warehouse Management, you must perform the
inventory in Inventory Management. To do this, use the following steps:
1. In the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Logistics Logistics Execution Information System Warehouse Stock For All Materials.
2. Enter the warehouse number and select Dynamic Selections.
3. Enter values for material, plant, storage location and, if necessary, batch and stock type and press Enter .
4. Print the stock list.
5. Use the stock list to count parallel quantities in the warehouse.
6. Create a goods movement.
To do this, select a movement type between 701 and 708. This allows you to enter a goods movement whose logistics quantity is zero, in a parallel unit of
measure.
7. Enter the difference between the parallel quantity, totaled for each material, and the book value of the parallel quantity, and post the goods movement.
Automatic adjustment of physical inventory documents during the inventory of handling units in the wrong storage bin
If during an inventory a handling unit is found in a storage bin that the system considers to be empty, the system automatically creates and confirms a transfer
order from the empty storage bin to a new one for this in the background. The system automatically adjusts the physical inventory documents. This function exists
in the following transactions:
LI11N: Enter Inventory Count
Following the automatic stock transfer, the system issues a detailed results log.
LM50: System-Guided Inventory Count (radio frequency transaction)
LM51: User-Selected Inventory Count (radio frequency transaction)
To activate this function, you must use Business Add-In (BAdI) /CWM/LES_WMINV and implement the default coding. You also require authorization object
/CWM/L_INV with activity 16 (Execute).

1.5 Quality Management (QM)
Purpose
Based on mySAP ERP, the SAP Catch Weight Management s olution provides industry-specific functions in the area of Quality Management (QM).
Constraints
The following functions are not supported for catch weight materials:
Confirmation for inspection points (see also Results Recording for Inspection Points)
Triggering Recurring Inspections Manually

Considering Parallel Quantities in Quality Management
Use
In the SAP Catch Weight Management solution, you can take parallel quantities into account in quality management.
Features
PUBLIC
Page 28 of 32
Usage Decision
When you make a usage decision for an inspection lot, you must specify the quantity to be posted on the tab page Inspection lot stock in both the base unit of
measure and the parallel unit of measure. The system issues default values for the parallel quantity. If the inspection lot results from posting a goods
movement, (transaction MIGO) the system calculates default values for the parallel quantity in the relevant usage decision, on the basis of the relationship
between the total logistics quantity and the total parallel quantity that results from posting the goods movement.
In the material master, a plan conversion factor of 1 PC = 75 KG is used for the material pig half .
For this material you post a goods receipt with the logistics quantity 10 PC and the parallel quantity 800 KG. The relationship between the
logistics quantity and the parallel quantity is 1:80 when the goods receipt is posted.
In the usage decision this is the relationship that is used to calculate the parallel quantity, rather than the relationship of 1:75 defined in the
material master. For inspection lots exceeding 2 PC, the system therefore proposes a parallel quantity of 160 KG.
After weighing it, you post the first piece with a parallel quantity of 85 KG. The remaining quantity amounts to 1 PC with 75 KG (160 85 KG).
The following applies to posting stock for catch weight materials:
If you exceed the tolerance levels defined in the material master when you are posting stock, the system issues warnings or error messages. Note that
the tolerance levels here refer to the material master and not to the relationship between the logistics quantity and the parallel quantity that results from
posting a goods movement.
When you post stock to a new material, the new material must also be a catch weight material.
If you have to clear the entire logistics quantity in the usage decision, you must also clear the entire parallel quantity. It is not possible to map weight changes
in the usage decision.
For a stock posting of unrestricted to unrestricted or blocked to blocked , the system simulates a posting to reduce the workload for the inspection lot. From
the material documents, the system also defines a mean value (parallel quantity/logistics quantity) that you may not exceed. If rounding errors result from
determining the mean value, the system issues an error message and you can correct the value.
You cannot enter and change parallel quantities separately in handling units. The system copies the relevant values from the inspection lot origin and transfers
them when you post stock. These values are displayed, for example, in the stock overview.
For more information, see Making a Usage Decision.
Stock Transfer
If you transfer material stock in the inspection lot, you can only specify the quantity in the base unit of measure. When you post catch weight materials, the
quantity is transferred in both the base unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure.
For more information, see Stock Transfers.
Correcting the Inspection Lot Quantity
When you check the actual quantity of an inspection lot, you can only specify the quantity in the base unit of measure. When you post catch weight materials, the
quantity is transferred in both the base unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure.
For more information, see Corrections to Inspection Lot Quantities.
Inspection Lot Quantity Display in the Stock List
If you display the inspection lot quantity in the stock list (transaction MD04), the system uses default parameters to display the quantity in the logistics unit of
measure. There are two ways of displaying the quantity in the parallel unit of measure.
The default value is specified with a default parameter in the field Unit . If the logistics unit of measure is replaced by the parallel unit of measure, the system
calculates the parallel quantity using the plan conversion factor defined in the material master.
If you specify the parallel unit of measure and select Calculate Parallel Quantities , the system also determines the parallel quantity using the plan
conversion factor.

1.6.2 Process Message Categories
Use
When confirming goods movements for a catch weight material, two process message categories exist that you can use to enter the base unit of measure and the
parallel quantity.
Features
Goods Receipt
For goods receipt of a catch weight material you can use process message category PI_PROD2 (with process message destination P160) . This process
message category contains the characteristics PPPI_MATERIAL_PRODUCED_CW and PPPI_UNIT_OF_MEASURE_CW. You can use these to enter the
parallel quantity and the parallel unit of measure for the produced catch weight material.
Goods Issue
For goods issue of a catch weight material you can use the process message category PI_CONS2 (with process message destination P161). This process
message category includes the process message characteristics PPPI_MATERIAL_CONSUMED_CW and PPPI_UNIT_OF_MEASURE_CW. You can use
these to enter the parallel quantity and the parallel unit of measure of the consumed catch weight material.
Additional Process Message Characteristic
You can also use characteristic PPPI_MATERIAL_QUANTITY_CW to enter a parallel quantity.
Automatic Valuation of Process Message Characteristics
The same prerequisites and features that apply to process message characteristics in the standard ERP system also apply to automatic valuation of the process
message characteristics that have been defined for SAP Catch Weight Management (see table). They only differ in that the process message characteristics for
