Tolerance Group. For a catch weight product, you can use the tolerance group to check whether a user has entered acceptable values for the logistic quantity and parallel quantity. You can use a tolerance group to prevent or minimize the number of incorrect entries made by users within the logistic process. Our goal was to offer the best Basic SAP EWM Customizing Guide out there that enables you to truly understand how SAP EWM works and how you can set up a basic Customizing yourself. Please have a look at the course curriculum – we tried to set it up as detailed as we possibly could so you really know which topics we are covering.

When packing handling units for shipping, or processing inbound handling units, it’s common to need to weigh and post this value to SAP. We often work with companies to automate the process of getting these values in SAP automatically so in this blog post I’ll quickly show you how to use the standard SAP scale integration.

Using our AdvancePack solution, desktop connected scales are used to read the weight of materials and handling units during the packing process. We can use the same tools in other areas in SAP.

You’ll need:

  • Configuration access to your system.
  • Our ScaleConnect for SAP software for each desktop or a comparable third party scale integration application.

Organizational structure for packing stations

As an overview, I’ll define a Packing Station (WM) and WorkCenter (EWM). The structure is usually defined as follows for WM and EWM environments:

Fig. 1 Packing station structures in WM or EWM.

I’ll describe the WM settings specifically, but the settings are basically the same in EWM except they are called WorkCenters instead of Packing Stations in EWM.

Desktop scale integration to SAP

Define an RFC connection to the scale

First, define a RFC connection to each Pack station scale and test the connection. (Note: standardized naming is important before starting, otherwise you’ll have a mess on your hands as you deploy more PCs and scales.) There are several settings but the only one that matters is the Program ID.

In transaction HUPAST_C, for each packing station, refer to the RFC connection you created in the previous step.

Test your Packing Station

In AdvancePack, select the weight button or select F5 to refresh the weight on the screen. In the standard SAP pack screen, select the “Weigh” button.

What happens in the background is that SAP makes an RFC call to the scale to read the weight. The return value is read and imported into the screen. Wala! you have now integrated a desktop scale directly to SAP.

I hope this information is helpful, if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line.
