INBOUND POSC (MULTI-STEP MOVEMENT)
Purpose
The purpose of this article to understand INBOUND POSC and how does it work in EWM. In this blog post I will discuss the configuration and master data settings in EWM for one of the Inbound process consisting of multi-step movements.
- In this Inbound POSC Scenario we discuss about Deconsolidation/Re-pack process of a product. Here we received a product packed inside HU from the supplier and before placing the product to final bin, we first take out the product from the HU and re-pack in different HU and placed it in final bin.

CONFIGURATION: –
1.1 Define Process Oriented Storage Control:
In this area, maintain storage process with external steps and process-oriented storage control.

Here we can use Standard External steps also (IB01, IB02, IB03)
1.2 Define Storage Process:

- After Creating Storage process, we need to assign External process codes to storage process. As shown below-

![](https://i0.wp.com/www.erpqna.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/POSC26.png?resize=730%2C479&ssl=1)
- Here HU is mandatory to work with POSC. HU Warehouse task creates for Warehouse request (IBD), Where Source is “DOOR” and Destination is “GR-STAGE”
3.3 Check Monitor for WT details:
Transaction: /N/SCWM/MON
- Warehouse monitor provides WT information with reference to inbound delivery.
