Storage Location It refers to the place where stocks of materials, semi-finished goods, finished goods and parts are physically stored within a plant. Storage locations also correspond to specific Fund and Funds Center. Material Master It contains information on all the materials that UN procures, stores and sells. It is UN’s central source for retrieving material-specific data. Copyright © United Nations 9 Roles & Responsibilities The following Umoja Enterprise roles are involved in the Local Inventory Goods Movement process: Inventory User Inventory Senior User • Create Reservations (function extended to other users) • Create Stock Transport Orders • Conduct Goods Issue based on approved Reservations • Conduct transfer between locations of the same fund center • Update Inventory counts in the system • • • • Approve Stock Reservations for issue/transfer Approve Stock Transport Orders for Shipment Initiate Physical Inventory Counts Conduct Goods Transfer across Plants and Scrapping Copyright © United Nations 10 Roles & Responsibilities The following Umoja Enterprise roles are involved in the Warehouse Management process: Warehouse User • Executes and confirms Transfer Orders as issued by Warehouse Senior User • Updates warehouse counts with the count results Warehouse Senior User • Generates Transfer Orders for management of putaway, picking and movement of goods in the warehouse • Initiates physical warehouse counts • Manages storage bins Copyright © United Nations 11 Material Master The Material Master Data is a Master Data record that contains information about the products procured, stored and shipped by UN. It determines how the material will be managed from initial requisitioning through to downstream processes such as receiving and inventory management. Some key components of the Material/Service Master include: Unique ID of a material/service Product ID Example: 1500001517 (Projector: Dig) Type of product or service. Matches the equivalent UNSPSC classification Product Category Example: 45111600 (Projectors, Supplies) Inspection, Batch Management, Serialization criteria, Material Type GL Account Code derived from product category, Asset and/or Equipment Assignment, Valuation Class Material or Service Master Material Characteristics Example: Serialization Flag Financial Characteristics Example: General Ledger Copyright © United Nations 12 Supply Chain Master Data The Material Master Data is related to two other Supply Chain Master Data elements: Equipment Master Data and Asset Master Data. Material Master All materials in Logistics Execution are procured using the Material Master Record and managed in Inventory. How much do I buy? Where do I have in stock? What can I issue? What can I transport? Equipment Master Asset Master Materials that must be tracked, installed, maintained, operated, and managed are defined as equipment and tracked using an Equipment Master Record for that item. Fixed Assets are UN materials that have a financial value above the IPSAS thresholds and are tracked using an Asset Master Record for that item. What is due for maintenance? Where/with whom is the equipment? What is the depreciation expense for the period? Per IPSAS, equipment over IPSAS threshold are also considered fixed assets and would have both an Equipment Master and Asset Master Record for that item. Copyright © United Nations 13 Umoja ECC Stock Type A stock type defines the system state that classifies goods. Stock types used in Umoja are Unrestricted Stock, In Transit Stock, Blocked Stock and Quality Stock. Unrestricted Stock Material available for use upon receipt • This stock type allows full financial posting and invoice processing In Transit Stock Material in transit to receiving location • Material has already been withdrawn from storage at the issuing plant, but has not yet arrived at the receiving plant • It is included in the valuated stock of the receiving plant Copyright © United Nations 14 Umoja ECC Stock Type A stock type defines the system state that classifies goods. Stock types used in Umoja are Unrestricted Stock, In Transit Stock, Blocked Stock and Quality Stock. GR Quality Inspection Stock Material requires inspection following receipt In Blocked Transit Stock Stock Material not available for use upon receipt • This stock type allows full financial posting • Should only be used in exceptional cases • Invoice processing is blocked until inspection results are recorded in the system • Used when goods are clearly damaged or have different specifications from the PO • Goods that pass inspection are moved to Unrestricted Stock • Upon receipt of such goods UN will not accept ownership until resolution is reached with vendor • Goods that do not pass inspection are returned to the vendor/scrapped • This stock type blocks full financial posting and invoice processing Copyright © United Nations 15 Umoja Logistics: IM & WM Umoja will act as both an Equipment and Inventory Management solution as well as a financial one. Full scope of Umoja Logistics Execution includes Inventory Management as well as a Warehouse Management solution. Inventory Management (IM) Warehouse Management (WM) Implemented at ALL plants holding inventories to: • Manage inventory levels and enable the recording and tracking of materials on a quantity and value basis, at the storage location level • Includes planning, entry and documentation of stock movements (Goods Receipt, Goods Issue, Physical Stock Transfer, Transfer Posting and Physical Inventory Verification) • Integrated with Financial Accounting to enable financial posting Implemented at PARTICULAR plants holding inventories to: • Facilitate the management of physical space. Reflects the structure of a warehouse and monitors the allocation of storage bins, and any transfer transactions within the warehouse • Manage the flow of goods within a physical structure. Enables the user to view the flow of materials using advanced Put Away and Picking Strategies • Reflect the impact of IM transactions on WM operations Copyright © United Nations 16 Logistical Structure within Umoja A plant is the location where materials are produced, purchased, stored, inventoried, shipped, received and valuated or from which services are provided. A storage location reflects the inventory owned by a particular Funds Center in a plant. It also reflects the geographical locations that fall within the same plant. • One Funds Center can therefore have multiple storage locations • However, no two Funds Center can share the same storage location • Materials in inventory are managed in storage locations PLANTS: • • • • Plant Storage Location Material Material Material Material Storage Location Material Material Material Material Copyright © United Nations Peacekeeping Mission, Special Political Mission UNHQ OAHs (UNON, UNOG, UNOV, etc) Entities (UNEP, UN-HABITAT, etc) STORAGE LOCATIONS: • Plant-specific physical location • Site where goods are physically received and/or stored • Site where “fund center” controls inventory – SAU for PK mission – Organizational Unit at HQ/OAHs (i.e. Section) 17 Structural Elements for Logistics: IM & WM EXAMPLE A EXAMPLE B Plant A Plant B IM Plant & Engineering Supply Central Warehouse Safety & Security Two storage locations can be linked to one physical warehouse to separate ownership of goods. WM SLoc 0001 SLoc 0004 Some storage locations are not linked to any physical warehouse. They represent separate areas, that are not divided into bins. Warehouse 002 Storage Locations: • For IM only inventories, it will reflect the location as well • For WM inventories, physical area will be reflected within the warehouse structure Warehouse: • A Warehouse in Umoja reflects the physical space where goods are centrally managed at a bin level. Inventories from multiple storage locations that are physically co-located can be managed in one Warehouse. Transit Location (Virtual) Note: All Inventories must be converted against a predefined logistics structure. Plants and Storage Locations have to be defined prior to loading all inventories and they will be loaded with reference to these defined structures.

They support the Virtual Goods Receipt process and have no financial derivation (no correspondence to Funds Center). Stocking Storage Locations (ex. Medical Section, Facilities Management, etc.) • Material/Inventory is physically stocked and managed at these storage locations • Linked to one Funds Center/Plant, reflecting ownership and deriving financial postings Note: For technical reasons, fixed assets always require receipt into a storage location (even when they are not procured for inventory/stock and are procured for consumption/immediate use). Accordingly, a specific storage location (A000) is available for this purpose in each plant. Copyright © United Nations 20 Warehouse Structure Warehouse Management provides visibility of the material location down to the storage bin level in the warehouse. The hierarchical warehouse structure contains the following basic elements: Warehouse Number Storage Type Storage Type Storage Section Storage Type Storage Section Storage Bin Storage Bin Quant Copyright © United Nations Quant 21 Warehouse Structure Terms Warehouse Number • An entire physical warehouse is defined in using a single warehouse number Storage Type • Each of the warehouse areas that make up the warehouse is defined as a “Storage Type“. The storage type is configured based on spatial, technical and organizational characteristics • Storage Types drive putaway and picking strategies implemented at the warehouse Storage Section and Bin • Each storage type is subdivided in storage bins. Bins are grouped in Storage Sections in a Storage Type • A storage section generally includes all bins that have certain characteristics in common • The bins indicate the exact position of the stored goods in the warehouse Quant • A quant is the stock of any material with the same features in one storage bin. The system manages different batches of a material as different quants Copyright © United Nations 22 Warehouse Management Structure: Example US00 Plant Plant US00 Facilities Management Mail & Pouch Broadcast Section Conference Services Rcv Safety & Security Warehouse Warehouse U10 IT and Electronics Hazmat Storage Location Stationary & Office Supplies Household Materials Storage Type Similarly, we have the same setup for stationary and household materials.

Storage Bin 1000 Storage Bin 2000 Copyright © United Nations Storage Bin 3000 26 Staging Area A goods movement is always initiated in IM through a Goods Movement with a specific Movement Type (e.g., 101 Goods Receipt). In WM, for every Movement Type there is a system staging area. Staging areas are interim storage areas for goods in the warehouse prior to physical put away, issue, etc. Examples of staging areas are: • Goods Receipts: Interim storage of unloaded goods until they are put away • Goods Issues: Interim storage of picked goods until they are loaded on a truck GR Movement Type Goods Receipt Staging Area GI Movement Type Goods Issue Staging Area Copyright © United Nations 27 Staging Area The concept of staging area is important to warehouse users. When a user is running an ECC report to view the physical location of goods (either by storage type or by materials), goods that have not been physically put away, issued, etc. are reflected in the corresponding staging area. Copyright © United Nations 28 Storage Types Features for future implementation The following WM features are not currently included in Umoja at go-live: • Storage Types strategies to automatically determine put-away and picking locations (Removal strategy, Picking strategy) • Capacity checking (for maintaining weight of materials) • Storage Unit Management (not tracking at quantity level, e.g. using pallets) Warehouse Number 001 Storage Type 001 Storage Type 902 Goods Receipt Area Storage Type 004 Goods Receipt Storage Type 910 Goods Issue Area Storage Type 005 Goods Issue Copyright © United Nations 29 Putaway Strategies For inbound and internal movements, the system uses user-defined controls to execute the appropriate putaway strategies. Each warehouse is customized based on a combination of three criteria. This affects the stock placement and removal strategies and restricts the bins the user can choose. Criteria The criteria are: • Indicators on the Material Master setting • Storage Location configured for a particular storage type • Storage Unit management determined by the type of storage units the stock is transported in Copyright © United Nations 30 Learning Checkpoint 1 A _________ indicates the exact position of the stored goods in a warehouse storage type.

The Inbound Delivery Monitor, accessible using the T-code VL06I, indicates the list of Inbound Deliveries with expected delivery dates at a specific location. In case of Virtual Goods Receipt, the Actual Goods Receipt date indicates the point at which the transfer of ownership occurs prior to the arrival to the Receiving Area. Copyright © United Nations 39 High Level Process: Goods Receipt and Put Away in Warehouse Inbound Delivery Goods Receipt Transfer Requirement Transfer Order Transfer Order Confirmation Goods received at the receiving location are visible at an inventory level (storage location level) and not at a warehouse level (not at bin level). The MIGO screen is given below. Copyright © United Nations 40 High Level Process: Goods Receipt and Put Away in Warehouse Inbound Delivery Goods Receipt Transfer Requirement Transfer Order Transfer Order Confirmation If the receiving storage location is warehouse managed, a system document, called Transfer Requirement, is generated automatically to request the transfer of goods from Inventory Management to Warehouse Management. Copyright © United Nations 41 High Level Process: Goods Receipt and Put Away in Warehouse Inbound Delivery Goods Receipt Transfer Requirement Transfer Order Transfer Order Confirmation A Transfer Order (TO) is initiated from a Transfer Request. Using this document, you can specify the final location of the goods and move the goods from the receiving area to the final bin location. A TO screenshot with predefined bin strategy is given below.

Following a stock transfer performed in a storage location that is warehouse managed, a Transfer Order is created in order to pick the goods in the warehouse. Copyright © United Nations 77 Module 3 Summary The key points covered in this module are listed below: • The Picking Goods process is performed when issuing goods from a storage location that is warehouse managed • The high-level steps in the Goods Issue and Picking process • Goods issued from a storage location disappears from stock (storage location level) but not from the warehouse level (not at bin level) • If the receiving storage location is warehouse managed, an Umoja document, called Transfer Requirement, is generated to pick the goods from the warehouse • A Transfer Order (TO) is initiated from a Transfer Requirement. This document is used to indicate the location from which the goods are to be picked • Once the goods are issued from the bin physically, the Transfer Order Confirmation indicates the completion of the Picking process Copyright © United Nations 78 Agenda Course Introduction Module 1: Warehouse Management Overview Module 2: Put-Away Goods Module 3: Pick Goods Module 4: Move Goods Internally and Manage Bins Module 5: Execute Disposal of Goods Module 6: Perform Physical Count in Warehouse Course Summary Course Assessment Course Survey Copyright © United Nations 79 Module 4 Objectives After completing this module, you will be able to: • Explain the Move Goods internally – following a stock transfer in inventory management – Following the need of physically moving goods in the warehouse • Manage the creation or deletion of bins Copyright © United Nations 80 High Level Process: Move Goods in Inventory/Warehouse Different scenarios for the Move Goods Process: Move Goods Process Initiated in Inventory Management In some cases, the Move goods process is triggered by the change of the stock status (e.g. stock transfer from unrestricted to blocked or viceversa). In other cases, there is a transfer posting from storage location to storage location. In these scenarios, the Move Goods is an integrated process between Inventory Management and Warehouse Management since some steps are performed in Inventory management first and then reflected in Warehouse Management. This process is known as Posting Change. Move Goods Process Initiated in the Warehouse In this case, the trigger for this process is the need of changing the physical location of goods internally in the warehouse. There are different modalities of performing the Transfer Order creation depending on the scenario. Copyright © United Nations 81 High Level Process: Move Goods in Inventory/Warehouse The high-level steps in the Move Goods process when initiated in Inventory are given below (Posting Change): Inventory User Inventory Management 1 Inventory User 2 Reservation Goods Issue Automatically Warehouse Management 3 Warehouse Senior User 4 5 Transfer Order Posting Change Notice Warehouse User Transfer Order Confirmation Note: Depending on the type of stock transfer: • The Reservation step may not be required in most of the cases • The Transfer Order Confirmation may not be required (automatic confirmation) Copyright © United Nations 82 Posting Change Concept By executing a posting change in IM for a material that is also managed in the warehouse, simultaneously a posting change in the Warehouse is triggered. Based on the posting change in MM-IM, the system creates a Posting Change Notice in the WMS. In the logical interim storage area for posting changes (posting change area), the system creates a negative quant for the material that is to be booked out and a positive quant for the material that is to be booked in. The list of posting change notices to be processed can be displayed. Copyright © United Nations 83 Posting Change Concept To execute the posting change in the WMS, create a transfer order for a posting change notice. The single item in the posting change notice becomes an item pair in the transfer order: • First TO item to move the stock to the logical posting change interim storage area • Second TO item to move the stock, with a different status, either: - To the original storage bin (posting change at storage bin): The movement is a purely logical one within the WMS. No physical move of the material stocks in the warehouse, simple change of the material status in the system - To another storage bin (posting change to another storage bin): e.g., to release a material from quality inspection stock and put it away in another section of the warehouse complex Copyright © United Nations 84 Detailed Process: Move Goods in Inventory/Warehouse The detailed steps in the Move Goods process are illustrated below.

These steps are required for Serialized Materials for which there are differences identified during the count. 1. Negative difference: enter the serial number in the Serial Number field for the physical count difference that is to be cleared. This will be the serial number that has not been found during the count 2. If, as a result of the physical count, a positive difference is detected (the counted quantity of the material is higher than the quantity in the system), a serial number may need to be created 3. To do so, just select the create serial number automatically check box 4. A pop up screen is displayed that specifies the Serial Number 5. If you know the serial number, you can specify, else you can search it in the serial number list. You can generate it for addition to stock (physical count results into a quantity higher than the quantity in the system) 6. Refer to next slides for details on dealing with differences for serialized materials Copyright © United Nations 127 Inventory Differences The inventory differences are: When the inventory difference relates to a serialized material, then some further investigation is to be carried out to determine the status of the item. The reason for this is that the serialized items will have in Umoja not only a quantity and a value in the inventory, but also individual serial numbers and equipment master records. In some cases, depending on their value, a fixed asset master record is also required In cases where the counted quantity is less than the system quantity, when entering the count the Inventory User will specify the serial numbers which are not found. When the difference are cleared, the status of the corresponding equipment master records is automatically updated (from ESTO EQID to AVLB EQID); further steps may be required involving the Asset Accountant In cases where the counted quantity is more than the system quantity, a distinction is required to determine if the equipment is new (no master record exists in Umoja) or it is, for instance, a used equipment returned to stock for which a master record already exists. If it is a new item, then it is possible to specify a new serial number when clearing the difference; the equipment master record is to be manually activated; for used equipment an alternative approach is to be identified Copyright © United Nations 128 Inventory Differences The inventory differences are: In some cases, the difference between system quantity and physical count quantity is related to transactions that haven’t been recorded or wrongly recorded, e.g.: • Inventory differences may result into extra quantities found (e.g. goods receipts haven’t been recorded in the system) or less quantity found (e.g. goods issues haven’t been recorded in the system) • Depending on the specific scenario, several corrective actions may be required • If the discrepancy is clearly due to missing system transactions, then an option to address this exception could be to complete the first count with the system quantities (only for the identified materials), perform the missing transactions and recount only the specific items Copyright © United Nations 129 Learning Checkpoint 1 Which is the relevant enterprise role for clearing the differences resulting from the warehouse count?
