Warehouses represent internal departments and they are involved in internal or external transfers. In the Serialized Logistics application, manage the warehouses where the scanning activities are performed.

If you want to specify smaller areas of the warehouse, you can associate sublocations and storage locations with your warehouse.

When connecting to BPOM, all the shipping locations saved as warehouses on the BPOM channel settings page are automatically imported into the Serialized Logistics application. You need to complete the warehouse configuration manually.

Creating a Warehouse

You can create a warehouse by adding its master data.

Before You Begin

Make sure that you have configured the regulatory or business channel to be used for reporting to the applicable external system.

• National Agency of Drug and Food Control in Indonesia (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan) - BPOM
• Arvato to connect to a National Medicines Verification System (NMVS)
• SAP Advanced Track and Trace for Pharmaceuticals - SAP ATTP
• SAP Information Collaboration Hub for Life Sciences - SAP ICH

Procedure

1. In the Serialized Logistics application, select Site management --> Warehouses tab. The application displays the list of warehouses and the Create warehouse form.

Note: When viewing the details of a warehouse, you can open the Create warehouse form by clicking Add new +.

2. Fill in the form as described in the table below. The required fields are marked with an asterisk (*) in the form.

Note: If you want to create a warehouse for the Indonesian market and you have a connection to BPOM, instead of manually creating the warehouse, you can save the warehouse on the BPOM channel settings page and automatically import it to the Serialized Logistics application. For more information, see Configuring a BPOM Channel, Managing Logs, Viewing BPOM Returns, and Importing Shipping Locations.

3. Click Create. The warehouse is created and added to the list.

Next Steps

You can add a sublocation or a storage location to the warehouse, as needed. For more information, see Managing Sublocations and Managing Storage Locations.

In the following example, we are searching for the warehouse "PT Marga Nusantara Jaya (Pusat)".

• The warehouse is located in Indonesia and is imported through the BPOM channel as stated under the warehouse name on the left.
• The full warehouse address is imported into the Street field which may need reorganization.
• The warehouse is involved in distribution activities (distributor role).

In the following example, we are searching for the warehouse "Manufacturer Site".

• The warehouse is located in Hungary, involved in manufacturing activities, and there is an SAP ICH channel selected for reporting. The warehouse SGLN is also set because the location data is included in the report to SAP ICH.
• The warehouse tag is given that identifies the warehouse in the requests sent over API to Movilitas.Cloud.
• Unpack messages (if any) will also be sent to SAP ICH because the Disable unpack messages towards SAP ICH checkbox is cleared.
• We also allow commissioning while shipping, meaning that the operators can scan items for shipping that have not been commissioned yet. The application commissions the items first and then executes the shipping operation.
• Other fields are not relevant to this example. These fields are left intact (default state).

In the following example, we are searching for the warehouse "Warehouse (Logistics and Printing)".

• The warehouse is located in the United Arab Emirates and is involved in distribution activities (distributor role). The warehouse SGLN is also set because the location data is included in the EPCIS file from the supplier and in the report to an external system.
• A ZPL printing template is set for the warehouse. The template defines a label format and size. If an operator in the warehouse prints SSCC labels, the mobile application uses this template for printing. The SSCC labels are used for aggregation.
• Picking is enforced, meaning that picking is mandatory before shipping to a client.
• The maximum number of children to be packed at once is set to 5.
• Other fields are not relevant to this example. These fields are left intact (default state).

In the following example, we are searching for the warehouse "Distributor Site".

• The warehouse is located in the USA and is involved in 3PL activities (distributor role).
• The warehouse has an SAP ICH business channel to report events like decommissioning. The warehouse SGLN is also set because the location data is included in the EPCIS file from the supplier and the output DSCSA EPCIS file to SAP ICH.
• The Disable unpack messages towards SAP ICH checkbox is selected so unpack events are not reported to SAP ICH.
• Two ZPL printing templates are set for the warehouse. The templates define different label formats and sizes. An operator in the warehouse can select a template in the mobile application and the SSCC labels are printed using the associated template. The SSCC labels are used for aggregation.
• The Unpack children during shipping checkbox is selected. When scanning an item that is aggregated, auto-unpack is performed before shipping the item to the client.
• The Unpack children during packing checkbox is selected. When scanning an item that is aggregated, auto-unpack is performed before packing the item into its new parent.
• The Dissolve SSCC when unpacking checkbox is selected. After unpacking a child from an SSCC, the SSCC releases all its children and gets Decommissioned (Destroyed) status.
• The Verify against Movilitas.Cloud only checkbox is selected. The items are verified against Movilitas.Cloud database only, even if connecting to SAP ICH.
• Other fields are not relevant to this example. These fields are left intact (default state).
