For Designing warehouse app using SAP EWM, need to create accurate and agile API communication, which involves using complex API packages and their business logic.

Handling Unit (HU): A physical packaging unit used for transportation of the delivery order consists of one or more items or products and includes additional information like volume, and weight.

Source Storage Bin: A location where items are stored within warehouse.

Destination Storage Bin: A location where warehouse worker need to stag items after picking from source bin.

Base Unit of Measure (BUoM): A standard unit of measurement used for picking and packing item quantities

Alternate Unit of Measure (AUoM): A secondary unit of measurement used for picking and packing item quantities

Pick Item: The warehouse worker must pick the ordered items from the source storage and stag them in destination storage bin.

Menu Path: /Warehouse task (EWM Warehouse=’RJEW’/SAP_Self.ConfirmWarehouse Task

Create HU:

Path: handling Unit

Packed Items:

Path: handling Unit item

Handling unit reference document is a delivery id, and handling unit reference document item is an item id in the delivery. You can obtain each id from value of EWM delivery and EWM delivery item. In the relevant warehouse task

Handling unit item quantity in API is the number of packed item using AUoM.

Other needs to do

Designate employee to logon warehouse to perform warehouse tasks
