The scenario is to Trigger Automation creation and Printing of follow-on documents related to inbound deliveries, such as receipt documents and labels for products and bins.

​

To implement these actions, we need to understand how post processing framework (PPF) is configured in SAP EWM, and also how these actions are processid in SAP EWM.

​

First, we check the PPF action profile assigned to the inbound delivery notification and inbound delivery document types in this IMG.

Extend EWM IMG > Cross-Process Settings > Delivery - Warehouse Request > Actions > Change Actions and Conditions > Define Action Profiles and Actions

​

In this IMG activity, you can define action profiles for the document types in delivery processing.

​

An action profile defines the set of allowed actions for a document type. You also use the action profile to define general conditions for the actions it contains, for example:

  • Time when the system starts the action (such as when saving the document)
  • The processing type used to execute the action
