Module 1 Objectives After completing this module, you will be able to: Explain the Inventory Management structure in Umoja Explain the Warehouse Management structure in Umoja Describe the storage location types in Umoja Explain the following strategies: Placement, Removal, Material Master Based and Picking 8
Key Terminology Key Term Description Plant Storage Location Material Master It is the location where materials are produced, purchased, stored, inventoried, shipped, received and valuated, or from which services are provided. 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. It contains information on all the materials that UN procures, stores and sells. It is UN s central source for retrieving material-specific data. 9
Roles & Responsibilities The following Umoja Enterprise roles are involved in the Local Inventory Goods Movement process: Inventory User Create Reservations (function extended to other users) Create Stock Transport s Conduct Goods Issue based on approved Reservations Conduct transfer between locations of the same fund center Update Inventory counts in the system Inventory Senior User Approve Stock Reservations for issue/transfer Approve Stock Transport s for Shipment Initiate Physical Inventory Counts Conduct Goods across Plants and Scrapping 10
Roles & Responsibilities The following Umoja Enterprise roles are involved in the Warehouse Management process: Warehouse User Executes and confirms s as issued by Warehouse Senior User Updates warehouse counts with the count results Warehouse Senior User Generates s for management of putaway, picking and movement of goods in the warehouse Initiates physical warehouse counts Manages storage bins 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 Inspection, Batch Management, Serialization criteria, Material Type Product Category Example: 45111600 (Projectors, Supplies) Material Characteristics Example: Serialization Flag Material or Service Master GL Account Code derived from product category, Asset and/or Equipment Assignment, Valuation Class Financial Characteristics Example: General Ledger 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. What is due for maintenance? Where/with whom is the equipment? 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 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. 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 In Transit Stock Material available for use upon receipt This stock type allows full financial posting and invoice processing 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 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 This stock type allows full financial posting Invoice processing is blocked until inspection results are recorded in the system Goods that pass inspection are moved to Unrestricted Stock Goods that do not pass inspection are returned to the vendor/scrapped In Blocked Transit Stock Material not available for use upon receipt Should only be used in exceptional cases Used when goods are clearly damaged or have different specifications from the PO Upon receipt of such goods UN will not accept ownership until resolution is reached with vendor This stock type blocks full financial posting and invoice processing 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) 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, Posting and Physical Inventory Verification) Integrated with Financial Accounting to enable financial posting Warehouse Management (WM) 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 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 Plant PLANTS: Peacekeeping Mission, Special Political Mission UNHQ OAHs (UNON, UNOG, UNOV, etc) Entities (UNEP, UN-HABITAT, etc) Storage Location Material Material Material Material Storage Location Material Material Material Material 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 Plant A Plant B EXAMPLE B Plant & Engineering Supply Safety & Security IM SLoc 0001 SLoc 0004 Central Warehouse Two storage locations can be linked to one physical warehouse to separate ownership of goods. WM 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. 18

Structural Elements for Logistics: IM & WM There are two types of storage locations: Transit Storage Locations (Virtual Goods Receipt & Transit Locations) Transit locations have been created to indicate where goods are geographically located prior to arrival to final destination. 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. 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 Type Storage Section Storage Section Storage Bin Storage Bin Quant 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 22

Warehouse Management Inventory Management Inventory and Warehouse Views of Goods In the IM view, goods are received to Storage Locations; inventory quantity, value, ownership and accounting aspects are updated. Storage Location 7000 Storage Location 7100 Storage Location 7200 Funds Center 10013 Funds Center 10014 Funds Center 10015 In the WM view, the same goods are placed into Storage Bins to reflect detailed physical location. Storage Bin 1000 Storage Bin 2000 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 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. 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 902 Goods Receipt Area Storage Type 001 Goods Receipt Storage Type 004 Storage Type 910 Goods Issue Area Storage Type 005 Goods Issue 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 30

Module 2 Objectives After completing this module, you will be able to: Explain the Put-Away process in the warehouse 35
Goods Receipt into Warehouse The Inbound Goods process is performed when receiving goods from commodity vendors and shipment from other locations. Inherent in this process is the tracking of inbound goods movement and, upon receipt, basic verification to affirm that goods being received confirm to the Purchase (PO)/contract. 36

High Level Process: Goods Receipt and Put Away in Warehouse Inbound Delivery Goods Receipt Requirement Confirmation As you recall, an Inbound Delivery is a system document used to collect all shipment/delivery details (similar to an Advanced Shipping Notice provided by freight forwarders). 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. 39
High Level Process: Goods Receipt and Put Away in Warehouse Inbound Delivery Goods Receipt Requirement 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. 40
High Level Process: Goods Receipt and Put Away in Warehouse Inbound Delivery Goods Receipt Requirement Confirmation If the receiving storage location is warehouse managed, a system document, called Requirement, is generated automatically to request the transfer of goods from Inventory Management to Warehouse Management. 41
High Level Process: Goods Receipt and Put Away in Warehouse Inbound Delivery Goods Receipt Requirement Confirmation A (TO) is initiated from a 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. 42
High Level Process: Goods Receipt and Put Away in Warehouse Inbound Delivery Goods Receipt Requirement Confirmation Once the material is moved to the final place (bin) physically, the Confirmation completes the process and indicates the completion of the Put Away process. The Warehouse User confirms that the goods are placed in the bin. 43

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 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 creation depending on the scenario. 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 1 2 Inventory User Inventory Management Reservation Goods Issue Warehouse Management Automatically Warehouse Senior User Warehouse User 3 4 5 Posting Change Notice Confirmation Note: Depending on the type of stock transfer: The Reservation step may not be required in most of the cases The Confirmation may not be required (automatic confirmation) 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. 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 84

Module 5 Objectives After completing this module, you will be able to: Explain the Disposal process in the Warehouse 104
Disposal Process: Sample Process 105
Detailed Process: Disposal Process The Disposal process is triggered by the identification of damaged, expired or obsolete items requiring disposal. Once the disposal action and method are approved, the disposal process in the warehouse is performed; this example refers to disposal from stock via scrap. The disposal process is an integrated process between Inventory management and Warehouse management since some steps, like goods transfer from unrestricted stock or goods issue to scrap are performed in Inventory Management and in Warehouse Management.

Module 5 Objectives After completing this module, you will be able to: Explain the Physical Count process in the Warehouse 111
Detailed Process: Perform Warehouse Physical Count The Physical Count process is usually triggered by the regular schedule of counts in the warehouse. The physical count requires planning since the bins being counted are blocked for any movement in the warehouse until the difference are posted. The differences identified during the count have to be cleared both in Warehouse Management and in Inventory management. Warehouse Senior User Execute Report to Review Bins for Count Create Warehouse Count Document Warehouse User Print Count Document Inbound Delivery Enter Count Results Warehouse Senior User Executes Count Differences Report Goods Receipt Initiates Recount as/if Applicable Clear Differences in WM 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Property Control User Clear Differences in IM 8 1 2 The Warehouse Senior User executes a warehouse stock report to review and confirm the bins to be counted.

Detailed Process: Perform Warehouse Physical Count Execute Report to Review Bins for Count Create Warehouse Count Document Print Count Document Enter Count Results Executes Count Differences Report Initiates Recount as/if Applicable Clear Differences in WM Clear Differences in IM Note: These steps apply in case as a result of the physical count there are differences for materials which are serialized, hence the individual serial numbers (missing or found) have to be indicated. 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 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 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 129
