Business requirement:

  • During outbound picking, the system should propose only those batches or HUs which have a minimum remaining shelf life (for example, at least 90 days).

  • If no stock meets the shelf life criteria, the system should stop Warehouse Task (WT) creation and show an error message.

  • During inbound putaway, products with shorter shelf life should be directed to fast-picking or high-priority storage types.

What is already checked:

  • Shelf life data maintained in product master

  • Batch management is active

  • FEFO strategy maintained

  • Search sequence and sort rule configured

However, the system behavior is still not fully controlled as per business expectation.

Questions:

  • What is the best design approach in SAP EWM to control WT creation based on remaining shelf life?

  • Should this be handled using configuration (search sequence and sort rule), or does it require enhancement using BAdI?

  • Which enhancement spot or BAdI is commonly used in real projects for this type of validation?
