Outbound Processing
Outbound Processing covers the end-to-end warehouse execution of goods leaving a facility, from delivery-triggered demand through picking, packing, staging, loading and goods issue, across ECC WM, Embedded EWM, Decentralized EWM and S/4HANA. It addresses document flow, wave/work creation, HU management, integration with sales/shipping and transportation, and the monitoring and exception handling needed to run reliable shipping operations.
