Documentation

Definition

Describes the unloading area, which groups several (Automotive) unloading points in the Automotive goods receipt process.

Use

You have the option to select the inbound deliveries to be processed according to certain criteria in the (Automotive) goods receipt process.

The main criteria are:

  • Unloading points
  • Unloading zones

You can bring several unloading points together in an unloading zone in Customizing. This enables you to represent a group of unloading points, which is frequently used in practice, in the system.

Dependencies

The list of (Automotive) unloading zones is determined from the table of doors, which you can maintain in Customizing for Logistics Execution.

Doors were originally organizational units for Logistics Execution. They are now also used - described as unloading zones - to represent unloading zones in the Automotive environment.

See Application Help for more information on which Customizing settings you must make to use unloading zones together with unloading points.

Example

The following example describes how you can use unloading zones and unloading points:

  • There are 9 unloading points (A1 - A9) in your plant. There are always 3 unloading points at large ramp areas.
  • The ramp areas represent unloading zones at which a maximum of 2 trucks can be unloaded simultaneously.
  • Group unloading points A1-A3 as unloading zone EZ1, A4-A6 as EZ2, and A7-A9 as EZ3.
  • You can then select the list of inbound deliveries to be processed either by the unloading points or by the unloading zones for the (Automotive) goods receipt process.
