Key Terminology
Key Term
Description
Plant
It is the location where materials are produced, purchased,
stored, inventoried, shipped, received and valuated, or from
which services are provided.
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.

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.

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

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

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

• 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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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)

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

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 Order (PO)/contract.

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.

Module 2 Summary
The key points covered in this module are listed below:
• The Inbound Goods process is performed when receiving goods from commodity
vendors and shipment from other locations
• The high-level steps in the Goods Receipt and Put Away process
• 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)
• If the receiving storage location is warehouse managed, an Umoja document,
called Transfer Requirement, is generated to request the transfer of goods from
Inventory Management to Warehouse Management
• A Transfer Order (TO) is initiated from a Transfer Requirement. This document is
used to indicate the final location of the goods and move the goods from
the receiving area to the final bin location
• Once the material is moved to the final place (bin) physically,
the Transfer Order Confirmation indicates the completion of the Put Away process

After completing this module, you will be able to:

– Following the need of physically moving goods in the warehouse
• Manage the creation or deletion of bins
Copyright © United Nations

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.

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

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 Summary
The key points covered in this module are listed below:
• The Disposal of Goods 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
• 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
Copyright © United Nations
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.

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
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

Module 6 Summary
The key points covered in this module are listed below:
• The Warehouse physical count process is performed regularly at the intervals
required to account for correct quantity and value of inventory
• The count is carefully planned and staffed since the counted bins are blocked (do
not accept transactions) until the warehouse differences are posted
• The enterprise roles involved in performing a warehouse physical count in Umoja
are Warehouse Senior User, Warehouse User and Property Control User
• If need be, based on the differences detected, the first count may be followed by
one or several recounts
• The differences detected during the count need to be cleared in Umoja, both in
Warehouse Management and in Inventory Management
