Assigning storage bin type to storage unit type

Hello guys,
I would like to know the purpose of assigning the storage bin type to storage unit type in the storage bin type search table.
Thanks,
Maxx

Hello Maxx,
First let's understand what is the meaning of "Storage unit type"
Storage unit type is type of pallet i.e. big pallet, small pallet, industrial pallets etc so all this pallets have standard sizes.
Now let's understand what is the meaning of "Storage Bin type"
Storage bin type the classification of storage bin according to their characteristic /size i.e. 1 meter bin, 2 meter bin , 4x2 bin etc
Now if you have requirement that 1 meter bin should allow only small pallets not big pallet becuase it can not be fit in 1 meter bin so you can restrict this by assigning storage bin type to storage unit type.
Hope this will help you to understand the concept for assigning Storage bin type to SU type.

Storage Bin for Interim Storage Type 902 for GR

Hi,
We know that the the dynamic storage bin for goods receipt for PO is the PO number. However, when we are posting GR, system creates TR with interim storage bin as material document number.
I looked into the movement type config. However, we can only state that whether interim bin should be cordinates or fixed bin or dynamic bin. It has no way to mention what that dynamic bin would be.
Can you please suggest a way to change the dynamic storage bin as PO number instead of material document number.
Thanks,
Shekhar

Dear Shekhar,
Could you please check in view V_T308 (transaction code OMNF) whether the indicator "Dynamic bin material document" is set for your warehouse number and requirement type B?
Best regards,
Christiane

Change Storage Bin Number in 309 movement type

Hi Gurus,
I have problems with creation TO for movement type 309(material to material posting), when i want to create the TO for that movement type, i can't change the destination bin.. The destination bin field in that TO is disable, how to make that field enable?
I try to add an user exit after creation of that TO, the user exit is MWMTO001.. so the user exit used for change the storage bin number after the TO created.. but that user exit never triggered after TO created.. How it could happen?
Any suggestion, how to change the storage bin number when i want to create TO from 309 movement type(material to material posting)?
Kind Regards
Ken

Hi Kris,
Ya, i already create the bin number, for example i material A fixed to bin 00001 and material B fixed to bin 00002, when i do movement 309 from material A to material B, why the bin goes to 00001? why not goes to bin 00002? Because material B is fix to bin number 00002..
For your solution, i just can change the bin during confirmation of the TO? Because, in this case, confirmation of that TO done by external system, so the external system will send idoc to SAP to confirm that TO..

Stock transfer from storage bin to another storage bin.

Hi,
i would like to know the method to be followed in order to transfer the materials from one storage bin to another within the warehouse and also within a storage type.
Also i would like to know how to transfer the material from one storage type to another.

As everyone has mentioned above, to manually create TOs to transfer stock, use LT01 w/ movement type 999. However, this method is limited to a single material at a time.
Depending on your scenario, you may want to set up storage type replenishment - where you regularly restock a smaller warehouse location from a larger one:
Example: Small warehouse section with customer counter service & larger warehouse where bulk items and bulk quantities are stored
Not sure if this is your scenario or not, but here goes:
Requirement is to use the "Large, small" picking strategy for the receiving storage type.
Material master records in that storage type need minimum and control quantities maintained on the WH2 tab
Run (or schedule) program RLLNACH1 to automatically create transfer requirements to transfer stock from bulk storage to the smaller storage type - and then, depending on your config, either stop as TR or automatically post os TOs.
Good luck

Proposal of same destination storage bin as source storage bin

I am using the function module: 'L_TO_PREPARE_ITEM_INT' for finding out the destination bin. But I am getting the same storage bin of source bin for destination bin proposed thru this FM. It doesn't make any sense. How can I avoid proposal of same storage bin. Is there anything to do in configuration or any userexits can be used to avoid this problem.

Hello,
I suspect the issue is from because of Capacity Check Method. Try removing Capacity check Method. If it works fine, then, build the right capacity check method based on your need.
This should solve your problem.

Storage unit types and storage bin types - Need

Hi,
i want to know what is the use of the storage unit type and storage bin type.
thanks,
Maxx

Dear Maxx,

Storage Bin:
A storage type generally contains several storage spaces or slots. These are called storage bins in Warehouse Management (WM). The storage bin is the smallest available unit of space in a warehouse. The storage bin therefore describes the position in the warehouse where the goods are or can be stored.
Since the address of a storage bin is frequently derived from a coordinate system, a storage bin is often referred to as a coordinate. The coordinate 01-02-03 for example, can refer to a storage bin in row 1, stack 2, and level 3.
You assign each storage bin to a specific warehouse number and storage type according to its location. You must also assign each storage bin to a storage section.
You can also define the following additional characteristics of a storage bin:
Maximum weight
Total capacity
Fire containment section
Storage bin type (for example, for small or large pallets)
With certain stock placement strategies, the storage bin type plays a significant role in optimizing the automatic search for a storage bin in connection with the pallet type. For example, you can define the WM putaway strategy to place large industrial pallets into a specific large bin type and smaller pallets into small bins.
Storage Unit:
In the system, a storage unit record consists of a header and at least one material data record (quant data record).
The header contains information which is relevant for the entire storage unit and includes the:
Storage unit number
Storage unit type (SUT) of the storage unit
Storage bin in which the storage unit is currently located
Status, which provides current information about the storage unit
Specific information about the stock contained in a storage unit is found in the material data record. The material record is already familiar to you in the existing system as a quant data record. For SU management, this information can be managed at the storage unit level.
The following graphics illustrate how WM handles storage bins with and without the use of storage unit management. For these examples, storage bins are displayed in which 200 boxes of red pencils and 50 boxes of blue pencils are stored. The stock is distributed on two pallets.
Hope this will help.

Naveen.

Storage bin type and storage unit type.

Hi,
Can anyone explain what is the differnce between the staorage bin type which is maintaine for storage bins and the storage unit type which is maintained in material master.
Can any one correct me that My material storage unit type is maintained in TT and the storage bin for put awayis maintained in PC (storage bin type).
is this the right way to be adapted.
Sunil

Hi,
THe storage unit type is a description of how the material is stroed in the storage bin.
Some bins may not able to allow a full pallet due to height restrictions,but a half-pallet may fit.so warehouse can define a storage unit type that defines a half-pallet and qty of the material that can fit on that half-pallet.
Configuration menu path:IMG-logistics Execution-Warehouse Management-master data-material-define storage unit type.
where as storage bin is the lowest level of storage defined in the warehouse.
With Regards,
Jaheer.

Can any one tell me how can be this rectified - Is this a config related issue or data problem ?
Pls help me.

Hi all,
Thanks for your replies.
Manish: Where do I see that the storage bin is created with respect to storage type? I was checking LS03N where I can see that the storage bin is created for storage section and storage bin type. Configuraiton is like below:
Storage Bin search Strategy:
(1) By storage section: Not active
(2) By Stotage Bin type - Active and the storage bin type is assigned to a storage type.
I have one storage bin available (Bulk Storage) for the selected storage Bin type BUT it is not automatically searched by the process. Material master has WM view1 with storage type indicator and there is a config for storage type search which is working good. The only issue is searching storage bin while creating TO during Goods movement, in particular Put away. Also please note that the storage bin is not hardcodes in material master).
This error happens for all the scenarios (unrestricted, blokced or when WM stock is initial or when the materrial is created first time and subject the WM movements).
When I first started this question I thought that the error happens only for Blocked status. Actually it is happening for all the scenatios when the WM stock in initial.
Hope my scenarios are clear. Thanks in advance for your help again.

Storage bin Type Change during TO creation

Hi friends
Is it possible to change Storage Bin type (Not Storage bin no)during Transfer Order (TO) creation in LT06 / LT04 ? If so please let em know the procedure to bring storage bin type during TO creation.
Please confirm
Rgds
Madhavan

Hi,
Please check and try to define Storage Bin Type (SPRO->LE->master data->storage bins), then activate Storage Bin type search strategy in OMM1.as appropriate. (in my past experience system given priority to Storage type search and then to Storage BIn type search during picking- I am not sure whether this is the SAP logic or priority).
Once you define and assing the Storage bin type to Bins this will be available during creation of TO.
Hope this helps.
Thx

Create the stock in storage bin level

Hai all
     while i am doing transfer of order it is asking that storage unit type and the material stock is not maintained in storage bin .
can anybody tell me how to maintain the stock in bin level .please help me is there any tcode for that

Dear Satish
A storage type generally contains several storage spaces or slots. These are called storage bins in Warehouse Management (WM). The storage bin is the smallest available unit of space in a warehouse.

         --> Maximum weight
         --> Total capacity
         --> Fire containment section
         --> Storage bin type (for example, for small or large pallets)
With certain stock placement strategies, the storage bin type plays a significant role in optimizing the automatic search for a storage bin in connection with the pallet type. For example, you can define the WM putaway strategy to place large industrial pallets into a specific large bin type and smaller pallets into small bins.
<i><b>For information on how to define storage bins, call up the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Warehouse Management and see under Master Data --> Storage Bins .</b></i>
Generally speaking, you can use any combination of letters and numbers for a storage bin coordinate with the exception of certain alphanumeric characters that are used for stock placement strategy P (according to pallet or storage unit type).
When goods are placed into storage, the system selects coordinates in ascending order according to specific sort criteria, and assigns the next available storage bin based on the coordinate structure you define for creating bins.

Row consolidations of same material in storage bins.

Hi Experts,
we have a requirement below,
. Current Process: Inventory Analysts utilize an established query in SQ00 to enable them to perform row consolidations of same material in storage bins to maximize storage bin capacity and create empty storage bins in warehouses .
Example: Row 621 only has 1 pallet and that pallet will fit in row 625(Row) of which only has 31 but the max is 32 in that bin. Again you see bins 725 and S-27(material) only have 1 pallet each and can fit easily in 715 as it only has 15 pallets but can hold 32.
. The analyst take the data from this query and manually create a Row Movement sheet to give to the forklift drivers to perform the assigned movements.
1) is it possible SAP to do automate this task?
2)Can SAP logically determine this equation?
3) Is it possible SAP to generate this spreadsheet and go ahead and create the TO in the background?
Please do the need full ASAP, Quick response is highly appreciated .
Thanks and Regards,
Chiranjeevi

Of course you can do this, but not with SQ based reports.
You will need to code a custom ABAP report.
First you will need to find best matches in storage bins, then use BAPI for TO creation.
You will easily have all the info from the source and destination bins from your matching
table/data. You can search forums for more info on this BAPI, but I can tell you it is pretty
easy to use even for an inexperienced ABAP-er.
I have created a report for this in my company a while ago, but didn't implement automatic
TO creation since we wanted to give our WH people freedom and didn't want to create a huge
amount of TOs which need to be cancelled if WH workers don't have time to perform this action.
But this is a great tool for any warehouse, especially with bulk non-mixed storage types with
a large number of bins.

Determine destination storage bin from PP-form

Hello,
From an adobe form (based on PSFC_KANBAN) I try in the print program to determine WM-data. To be specific I need the way from the supply area (or other pp-data) to the destination storage bin (Table PKHD).
It would be very kind of You, if you could give me a hint.
Kind regards,
Benjamin

Benjamin,
I am not sure but may be you can see the program RLLS4100 or TCODE LS41.
With this report, you can create cycle lists which are assigned to a storage type.
You receive a list with the following information:
Production supply area
Material
Plant
Warehouse number
Warehouse type
Production storage bin
Dynamic destination storage bin
Staging indicator for production supply
Try also TCODE OP42 and PK05.

Available stock shortfall of & in interim storage bin

Hi gurus,
I am doing the movement type 261 in MIGO with reference to a reservation.
I am working with Warehouse Management and I want to know why the system is defined in automatic the storage type 100?
When I am doing the movement 261, I know that I have stock in the storage type 007 and I am putting this, but, the system is showing the following error message:
100000000026; Available stock shortfall of 10.000 M2 in interim storage bin
Message no. L9040
Diagnosis
In Customizing, the setting is such that no negative stock is allowed in storage type 100. However, this posting will cause negative stock to exist in storage bin HE01 of storage type 100.
For my storage type 100 I do not have defined any strategy in the customising.
Could you help me with this, please?
Kind regards.

Searching on the forum you can find threads about WM/PP interface settings.
(Re: WM Staging - Supply area to Production prder)
Whether WM/PP interface is active it depends on your config and master data as well.
You should check:
- config: SPRO > LE > WM > Interfaces > Define Production
- master data: routing (proper work center is assigned), work center (proper production supply area), material master(FG) (production scheduling profile), control cycle (components)
In standard system storage type 100 is defined as an interim storage type (you can compare it to storage type 902, 914, 916, etc). In control cycles (WM master data; LPK1/LPK2/LPK3) you define for each components which is the production storage type.
In standard system storage type 914 is not used with material staging. 914 s.t. related scenario: GI (261) --> stock removel from normal storage type to interim storage type (914).
100 s.t. related scenario: stock removal from normal s.t. to interim s.t. 100 --> GI (261).

I can only see 2 values instead of the expected 3.
what is 56A ? is it bin, warehouse or storage type?
what is 870 ? is it bin, warehouse or storage type?
one variable that is need to have a hit in table LAGP is missing, hence you get this error.
you have to find out why this variable is missing.
But there is a wide area to look. Hence you should first answer the questions, as this would limit the options where to look.

Not all storage bins in LX16 transaction Carry Out continous inventory

Hello,
I would be please if anybody knows the way of working of transacction LX16. Our client is running this transaction and have the problem that for a warehouse number and storage type, the report not shows all the storage bins that is created and with stock. If we run LX03 transacction, for the same selection we obteins all the storage bins, but if we do the same for LX16 the storage bin is not showed.
Can somebody help us??
Thanks in advance

hi
LX16 transaction is only for " Continious Physical inventory Counting Only"
LX03 is for bin status Report
Take Continuous Inventory
Purpose
With the continuous inventory method, you take inventory for a certain number of storage bins in a storage type. The inventory can take place at any time during the fiscal year.
Continuous inventory has the following advantages over the annual inventory count at the end of the fiscal year:
The effort and costs for the inventory is not concentrated on a certain day or days but is distributed over the entire year. This means that the warehouse supervisor can plan the workforce needed for the workload in the warehouse more accurately.
Inventory can be conducted during slow times in the warehouse, such as during summer vacation periods.
With a reduction in the effort required at the end of the fiscal year, you can respond better to problems that might arise during a year-end closing.
When an inventory is carried out on a continuous basis, up-to-date information about the correspondence between the warehouse stock and the book inventory is always available.
Prerequisites
Inventory methods are defined for each storage type. To define a continuous inventory for a storage type, see Activities ® Physical Inventory ® Define Types per Storage Type in the Warehouse Management section of the Implementation Guide (IMG) documentation.
Process Flow
To run a continuous inventory, you need to complete the following steps in the order displayed:
Plan the inventory by selecting storage bins, for which you want to take inventory.
Create the system inventory record
Activate the system inventory record
Print the warehouse inventory list.
Take physical inventory in the warehouse.
Enter the inventory results
Close the inventory
Process differences in Warehouse Management (WM) and record them in Inventory Management (IM).
hope this helps to solve your issue
