User Exit
You can also determine the door with a user exit. SAP software has developed enhancement
V02V0003 for this purpose. It contains function module EXIT_SAPLV02V_003
with include ZXTBFU01. You can store your own determination of doors in this include.
With this setting, you have laid the foundation for the logistical flow of goods
between picking and the doors in your warehouse.
7.2.2 Staging Areas
In many cases, you do not take your picked materials directly to the doors. Instead,
you have defined an intermediate area in the warehouse where you initially collect
goods for a specific delivery or transport. If picking is complete, all of the materials
are located in the intermediate area and can be loaded as soon as the truck arrives.
This intermediate area is called a staging area. Figure 7.8 shows the relationships
between the warehouse, the staging areas, and the doors.
Activation of and settings for the staging area are similar to those of doors. First,
you define the staging area. You have the option in Customizing to assign a fixed
door to a staging area right away. You must also set a checkmark in the WA-K field
