SAP EWM Resource Management & RF screen Tips

Here is the full blog of SAP EWM Resource Management & RF screen Tips in detail.

Scenario: what if, a user logs on to a resource but forgets to log out? Any other user will not be able to login to that resource.

In this kind of situation, there are two options available.

Option 1 – Send Messages to Working Resources.

You can send messages to different resources from the warehouse management monitor. To do so, proceed as follows:

Logon to transaction /SCWM/MON and double-click Resource. Enter one or more resource names on the selection screen. The resources are displayed on the right side. Select the relevant resource names and choose More Methods to send messages to the selected resources.

Tip 2: RF Hide Shortcut Field

The shortcut field can be used to enter exception codes or function keys. You can hide the shortcut field on the RF screen by deselecting the Shortcut checkbox in the configuration transaction for the RF Presentation Devices, /SCWM/PRDVC.

The advantage of this (Hiding) is that then you do not need to press Enter a second time to navigate to the follow-up screen.

Tip 3: RF Execution – Function Keys

When navigating in the RF framework, it is essential to know the standard function keys, which are not displayed in the function key line.

For example, in the below screen, we can see that only four function keys are displayed. Indicator “>” signifies that you have more than four keys. If the user selects this sign, then the remaining keys will be displayed.
