Reversal of departure from checkpoint for TM-EWM integration with TU introduced in S/4HANA 2023 Release

 Last minute change in supply chain execution, human error etc are inevitable. Till SAP S/4HANA 2023 release, it was not feasible to reverse the departure from checkpoint as stated in SAP note 3016022 and as depicted in below image.

SAP has removed this limitation in S/4HANA 2023 release and my present blog is to illustrate this new functionality.

Before I deep dive into the new feature of ‘Reversal of departure from checkpint’, I like to highlight that SAP provides 2 solutions for TM-EWM interation i) TM-EWM integration with EWM trasnsportation unit (TU) ii) Advanced shipping and receiving (ASR). If you want more details of these solutions then refer my SAP Press E-bite https://www.sap-press.com/integrated-tm-and-ewm-in-sap-s4hana_5315/ for TM-EWM integration with EWM TU and my upcoming SAP Press E-bite https://www.sap-press.com/introducing-advanced-shipping-and-receiving-asr-in-sap-s4hana_5836/ for ASR and my earlier blogs.

SAP has provided the capability to send LDAP message for ‘Reverse departure from checkpoint’ from transportation unit of EWM to freight order of TM as depicted in below image for TM-EWM integration with EWM TU.

Event ‘Departure from checkpint’ has happened for TU 6100004205 at 18:25:10 on 25.02.2024 as depicted in below screenshot of EWM TU.

And the same is reflected in freight order with same timestamp as in below image.

Now EWM TU is being set ‘ Reverse departure’ as in below image as a part of new functionality.

Subsequently the ‘Departure from checkpoint’ gets unset as shown in below image.

And the event ‘Departure’ also gets removed from freight order as shown in below image.

Note the pre-requisite configuration and the note as in below image.

This new feature will be very useful for customers using TM-EWM integration with EWM TU for both deployments- embedded and decentralized.

This blog is based on my personal insights, observation, and tests in SAP S/4HANA 2023 release with embedded deployment. Will appreciate your views / comment and feedback.
