Use

You can use this process to confirm tasks performed by automatic devices that are defined in TRM as resource elements. Such devices may include the following:

  • ASR
  • Conveyor belts
  • Cranes

Requirements

You have constructed a resource for a resource element using function module LTIF_RSRCE_EXTERNAL_LOGON as described in IMG activity Construct Resource Externally.

Standard settings

Activities

  1. Assign tasks to a created resource using function module LTSK_TASK_ACCEPT.
  2. Confirm tasks using function module LTIF_TASK_EXTERNAL_CONFIRM.
  3. When there are no more tasks to confirm, the resource can be deconstructed using function module LTRS_RESOURCE_BREAK. Before logoff, the function module LTSK_TASK_RECOVERY can be used to ensure that there are no more active tasks for the resource.

Further notes

You can use the function module LTIF_TASK_EXTERNAL_CONFIRM to confirm a task for a specific resource externally. Confirmation can occur in one step or two separate steps.

There are three possible options for task status change:

  • Accepted -> Started
  • Started -> Finished
  • Accepted -> Finished

The transfer order item status will be changed accordingly, depending on the task source and destination.

There are 4 possibilities:

  • Bin to Bin
  • Bin to P&D
  • P&D to P&D
  • P&D to Bin

The resulting task and TO item status update is determined as follows:

  1. Bin to Bin task
    • Accepted + Pick confirmation (value = 1)     -> Task Started / TO item 1st step confirmed
    • Started + Transfer confirmation (value = 2)     -> Task Finished / TO item confirmed
    • Accepted + Both confirmation steps (no value)     -> Task Finished / TO item confirmed
  2. Bin to P&D task
    • Accepted + Pick confirmation (value = 1)     -> Task Started / TO item 1st step confirmed
    • Started + Transfer confirmation (value = 2)     -> Task Finished / No TO confirmation
    • Accepted + Both confirmation steps (no value)    -> Task Finished / TO item 1st step confirmed
  3. P&D to P&D task
    • Accepted + Pick confirmation (value = 1)     -> Task Started / No TO confirmation
    • Started + Transfer confirmation (value = 2)     -> Task Finished / No TO confirmation
    • Accepted + Both confirmation steps (no value)    -> Task Finished / No TO confirmation
  4. P&D to Bin task
    • Accepted + Pick confirmation (value = 1)        -> Task Started / No TO confirmation
    • Started + Transfer confirmation (value = 2)     -> Task Finished / TO item confirmed
    • Accepted + Both confirmation steps (no value)    -> Task Finished / TO item confirmed.
