3745104 - Second warehouse task not created when confirming pick to resource with destination handling unit via API - SAP s/4hana cloud public edition

Symptom

  • When confirming a product warehouse task to a resource using the Warehouse Order and Task (A2X) API and specifying a DestinationHandlingUnit, the expected second warehouse task (resource → destination bin) is not created.
  • The initial confirmation succeeds and the picked quantity is placed into the specified handling unit on the resource.
  • The follow-up warehouse task from the resource to the final destination storage bin is missing.
  • If DestinationHandlingUnit is left empty, the follow-up warehouse task is created correctly.
  • No error message is returned by the API.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Assign a warehouse order to a resource.
  2. Create a handling unit on the resource using the Handling Unit API and (optionally) assign it as pick HU.
  3. Confirm the product warehouse task via Warehouse Order and Task (A2X) API, providing DestinationResource and DestinationHandlingUnit, while leaving DestinationStorageBin empty.
  4. Observe that no follow-up warehouse task (resource → destination bin) is created.

Cause

The automatic creation of the follow-up “resource → destination bin” warehouse task during confirmation via the Warehouse Order and Task (A2X) API is not supported when a DestinationHandlingUnit is provided.

Resolution

  1. Before confirming the product warehouse task into the pick handling unit, create a handling unit warehouse task for the pick handling unit using the warehouse task API.
  2. For multiple pick handling units, first confirm the product warehouse tasks into each pick handling unit.
  3. Create the follow-up handling unit warehouse tasks to move the pick handling units from the resource to the final destination bins; these tasks inherit the PWR reference from their contents.
  4. Optionally, use Split Warehouse Task to allow different users or resources to execute the final staging step in parallel.

As the specific function to create the follow-up “resource → destination bin” warehouse task during confirmation via the Warehouse Order and Task (A2X) API is current not supported in our product, if this would be a requirement to your company, we recommend voting for the feature request to enable automatic drop-off task creation in the A2X API.

Refer to: Influence request: automatic creation of drop-off tasks in Warehouse Order and Task (A2X) API.

See Also

If you want to pick products into a pick-handling unit (pick-HU) assigned to a resource, you need to create two requests: One request to confirm a pick warehouse task to a destination pick-HU in a resource, a second request to create an HU warehouse task to move the pick-HU to the destination bin.
