Returnable packaging plays a central role in many industries. Whether pallets, containers, crates or other means of transportation, returnable packaging is frequently exchanged between suppliers and customers. The correct handling of these goods is crucial in order to reduce costs, minimize losses and ensure a smooth supply chain.
This poses many challenges, for example:
Without efficient returnable packaging management, high costs can quickly arise, whether due to loss, damage or inefficient processes. In general, there are two perspectives:
Which load carriers and packaging are available in my warehouses and plants?
To which customers, suppliers, freight forwarders are my load carriers on the road or to which of these partners do we owe load carriers?
Due to the variety of different returnable packaging – from Euro pallets to the lid of a small load carrier – the complexity is relatively high. This is why automatic inventory management of returnable packaging stocks in SAP EWM makes sense.
With SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), an automated overview of returnable packaging and packaging materials can be created for both inbound and outbound deliveries.
Packing items in the HUs enable automatic updating of stocks in warehouses and plants.
This has the following advantages, among others:
The postings can be tracked using the material documents between the two storage locations and the SAP log. For example, the following questions can be answered.
Exceptions in the management of returnable packaging can be easily mapped using the master data, for example:
Automated bookings from goods receipt through internal warehouse processes to goods issue keep stocks correct.
Central control of empty returnable packaging in SAP EWM by separating full and empty returnable packaging
Traceability of transactions in a system that the key users know
Mapping of all processes and transactions leads to correct inventories and enables optimal control
Mapping of different scenarios, e.g. with or without pallet exchange, exclusion of certain packaging materials
