Bulk Putaway Strategy

Hi,
I have a query relating to the determination of bins for my bulk putaway strategy.
On my bulk storage type I am using putaway strategy B (Bulk Storage) and mixed storage indicator C (several batches per bin only SU bulk storage)
Having generated a putaway the system successfully denotes next empty bin until capacity as per the block structure under OMM4 is full. So far so good however it does not then allocate the remainder of the putaway to a bin where the same product is house although a different batch. (ie the error message below appears)
System message L3 009
No destination storage bin to be found in storage type 004
However i can manually denote a bin where there is already the same material but with a different batch. The system then allows this entry.
Does anybody understd why the system would not automatically select this bin which should be ok?
Any ideas appreciated.
many thanks,
Adam.

Must be a slow start to the year...too many Xmas ales...
Solution: Set Level of Total Quant Count to 1
Level of Total Quant Count
The Total field is used for internal calculation of the total quant count for SU-managed bulk storage. This parameter influences both stock placements and stock removals.
Stock Placement
For putaways this parameter controls whether the system will automatically mix batches or not. If the parameter is set to "1" (batch neutral), the system looks for a storage bin where the material already exists. The batch number is not taken into consideration in this case. If the parameter is set to "2" (batch specific), the system looks for a storage bin where the batch of the material already exists and attempts to add the new stock to the existing stock. If that isnu2019t possible, the system looks for an empty storage bin.

WM Bulk Putaway and Picking Strategy Query for a Scenario

I have two Questions ( Putaway and Picking Strategy for Break-Bulk Handling) :
Question 1) Break-Bulk Putaway Strategy
In WM Putaway Strategy for Break-Bulk, I would like to Propose the Bin for Production Receipts based on following constraints relevant for OBD Process
Scenario:
SO-1 Production Order -1 Product -1 Ship-To Party -1 Destination -1 Loading Date 20 Days from Now 8 Levels High Product Stacking Qty 500 MT Occupies 10 Bins total
SO-2 Production order-2   Product -2 Ship-To Party -1 Destination -1 Loading Date 20 Days from Now 6 Levels High Product Stacking   Qty 1000 MT occupies 20 Bins total
SO-3 Production Order -3 Product -1 Ship-To Party -2 Destination 2 Loading Date 20 Days from Now    8 Levels High Product Stacking Qty 200 MT occupies 4 Bins Total
So-4 Production Order -4 Product -3 Ship-To-Party -3 Destination -1 Loading Date 30 Days from Now Qty 10 Levels High Product Stacking 1000 MT Occupies 20 Bins Total
S0-5 Production Order -5 Product -2 Destination -2 Ship-To Party-2   Loading Date 30 Days from Now Qty 6 Levels High Product Stacking 500 MT occupies 10 Bins Total
SO-6 Production Order - 6 Product- 1 Destination-3 Loading Date 10 Days from Now 8 Levels High Product Stacking Qty 2000 MT occupies 20 Bins Total
The production receipts will come randomly into Bulk Area any sequence any day any time 24 X 7 basis . The constraints we need to use are:
1) Materials should not be mixed
2) Different Loading Dates of Same Product also should not be mixed
3) Different destination of Same product or different products should not be mixed
4) Different Ship to Party for same destination should not be mixed
4) We need to reserve in advance maximum number of Bins that entire Sales Order occupies tentatively as soon as the First time material comes to Warehouse for the entire sales Order. Example SO Qty 500 MT assuming 50 MT occupies with different stack heights in one bin. I need to reserve 10 bins total closer to each other in bulk-area . When 2 Products comes, WM System should propose bins already reserved bin in the break-Bulk Area.
5) Different SO-2 product when arrives warehouse, it should not occupy already alloted bin for SO-1
Question 2) Picking Strategy
1) Pick List needs to be generated based on Loading Date at Load Port for all SO's and the sequence of Loading will be first last Destination in the route ( i.e. based on which is delivered at last port needs to be loaded first in the vessel at Load Port )
If the route contains 3 stages
Stage -1 --- First Discharge port
Stage -2 -
Second Discharge Port
Stage -3 --- Last Discharge Port
We need to load in Ship, the SO Product which will be discharge last i.e. Stage 3 Destination.
Next we need to Load Second destination and next we need to Load SO Product going to First Discharge Port.
This Picking proposal needs to come from WM System
How can we address this requirement in WM System?
Thanks and Regards,
Nagaraj

Hi,
Thank you for your attention to our question.
We have a workaround for this problem. I have created a Special Movement Indicator with a corresponding WM Movement Type and attached these in the LE-WM Interface to Inventory Management. We will now update our Material Masters with the Special Movement Indicator and keep the Placement and Removal Storage Types the same (the Fixed Bin Storage Type). We have tested this approach and are satified that it meets our needs.
Thanks and Regards,
Mike

Difference between open storage & Bulk storage PUTAWAY STRATEGY

Dear all,
What is main difference between open storage & Bulk storage PUTAWAY STRATEGY ?
Thanks & Regards,
Olet Malla

Hi,
Open storage is a type of warehouse organization in which you define a single storage bin for a storage section. Normally if it a large area with one (or more) storage sections.
Materials that occur in large quantities and generally take up a lot of space in storage are often stored in bulk storage. Mainly it is used for Reduced need for physical storage bins, Fast access to the trading units, Clear structuring of the warehouse (into blocks and rows)
This putaway strategy searches for storage bins in bulk storage.
Thank you

[WM] Putaway strategy for bulk storage type SU-managed

Hi Gurus,
I need your help
I have a Bulk storage type with SU-managed. I would undestand the real behaviour of putaway strategy B.
1) Case 1: assume that in bulk storage type there are the followed bins (rows):
- in bin XX1 there is material AAA
- Bin XX2 is empty
In this situation if i receive material AAA, putaway strategy B chooses the bin XX1 by background processing - correct!
2) Case 2: assume that in bulk storage type there are the followed bins (rows):
- In Bin XX1 there is material AAA
- in Bin XX2 there is material AAA
- in Bin XX3 there is material AAA
In this situation if i receive material AAA, i don't undestand the behaviour of putaway strategy B. Seems that the system chooses in random way the bin (XX1, XX2 and XX3).
P.S: the storage unit type is one of default - E1.
Can you help me?
Thank very much

You told
Addn to Stock: X
Block upon placement: empty
Then How can you have Case 2?
In Bin XX1 there is material AAA
Next time also stock goes to XX1 only not XX2 unless you overwrite manually.
What does your block strage structure looks like? i'm sorry but i don't undestand your question.
Go to OMM4 "Define-Block struct." and look No. SUs for your St. bin type, SUT & Bulk stor Ind.

Putaway strategy 'Q' Dynamic quant

Hi,
We have an issue with the internal movement of stock from a storage type that does not allow partial quantity picking.
Scenario: The Putaway strategy for the St type has been configured as 'Q' and picking strategy as 'F'. The available stock in the bin/quant is say 1000 Boxes. I have created a transfer order to pick only 600 boxes. when i confirm the transfer order system is confirming the full 1000 boxes rather than picking only partial qty. Full stock removal has not been activated for this St type in config.
We would like to know if this is something to do with the st type with Q config(like does Q allows picking of complete quant only?).
if anyone has faced this issue earlier would be great to get some hints.
Thanks,
Harish

For our movement type over deliveries are allowed. Below is my observation:
1. when we transfer stock from bulk storage type system allowing us to confirm part pallet using mvt type say 9**.
2. when we transfer stock from dynamic quant number then system does not allow us to confirm part pallet but confirms full pallet only and this is using the same mvt type 9**.
we are using same movement type for transfer of stock from both these storage type onto a staging area which is a interim location but system is behaving differently for these two scenarios.
I am not sure if standard SAP has made dynamic quant storage type to allow withdrawal of full pallet only and needs help if someone has faced similar issue.
Best Regards,
Harish

WM/HU - Putaway strategy

Hello to everybody.
To explane my scenario I will give you an example:
Storage type CT1 has several storage bins. Every storage bin can contain one or more HU. I can set the maximum number of SU that the bin can contain in the putaway strategy P. This allows me to use an automatic process to putaway the HUs. But this is not enough for me. I also want the possibility to storage manually more HUs than the limit setted in the putaway strategy. And I want to do that because I also manage the production returns: for this reason the HUs don't have the same dimensions.
Is this possible?
If yes, how?
Thank you so much for your help!
Edited by: ConsViv on Nov 17, 2010 4:13 PM

Storage sections are for putaway purposes only.
The best way to think about it is they are a collection of bins within a storage type that direct a putaway.
Example:
Let say you are a company that makes hats. You have a storage type for your bulk whsing that has aisles 3 levels high. Now lets say that your blue hats sell faster than your red hats, and your red hats sell faster than your green hats. So you want to store your blue hats on the bottom rack, your red hats on the middle rack, and the green ones way up top in the highest rack.
You can do this with storage sections. You would configure 3 storage sections that include the bins in the 3 different levels of rack. Then you would configure a strategy for those sections - so that you can say if you want to place in the bottom rack and it is full - you go to the middle rack etc.
Then you designate each material with a storage section in the material master.
Now - when you have placements - you red hats get to the right place.

New custom putaway strategy

Hi experts,
Am a techie and in need your clarifications. My requirement is for creating a custom putaway strategy say 'Z' this will be ideally copied from the standard 'I'(Addition to exsiting stock) and new feature (like some of bulk storage etc) to be added to it.
can this be done by config or does it involve programming changes to be done. I would appreciate the steps involved in either cases to proceed.

Hello Ram,
I doubt if you can define your own stretegy "Z". but ofcourse you can use user exit as an enhancement.
You can do coding as per your logic in this enhancement MWMTO003 - Own stock Putaway strategy and activate it for particular storage type in Storage type data settings.
Hope this helps

WM and Open storage putaway strategy

Hi,
the following link gives an explanation about Open storage putaway strategy
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/c6/f844694afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Strategy C: Open Storage
Use
The system uses this putaway strategy to find the storage bin in an open storage section. Open storage is a type of warehouse organization in which you define a single storage bin for a storage section. The quants in the storage bin can also be in the form of mixed storage.
I think that in this strategy is also possible to define more than a single storage bin for a storage section.....or not?
So why the statement: you define a single storage bin for a storage section.
Best regards

I cannot tell you why it is explained in this way, even the German explanation does not give any hint.
Open storage putaway strategy is the most used in my implementations and I can confirm that you can have hundreds of bins in one storage section.

SAP WM Putaway strategy - Next empty bin

Hello,
I am testing putaway strategy - L - Next empty bin.
I' ve created 902 - Storage type:
Also i've been activated storage type search and storage section search:
Then i've added this data to material master:
And i also defined movement type- 101 for purchase orders:
Also, special for this, i've created the empty bin:
But when i am trying to post goods receipt in MIGO, i am getting the following error:
Storage bin Z02 does not exist (check your entry)
Message no. L9009
Could you please advise - what is wrong - why i can't post the goods receipt in MIGO?
Thank you in advance.

Hello, Jürgen
That's the settings for standard 101 wm mvmt type:
That's setting for my 101 wm mvmt type:
Difference - that i don't want to use dynamic storage bins.
And i still have this error:
Storage bin Z02 902 does not exist (check your entry)
Message no. L9009
Now system defines also storage type, because of i wrote it in the mvmt type, but i still can't understand, why it doesn't find storage bin, according the strategy.
I think, that i 've made all necessary customizing settings and i also have one empty storage bin on this storage type and storage section.

LT10 "Immediate confirmation" of TO with Putaway strategy "C" Doesn't Work

Hi ,
We have WM with HU implemented for a Plant/ Sloc Combination.In Warehouse we have multiple storage types.
Putaway strategy "C' (Open storage) is implemented with SU in one of the storage type of warehouse.
If we try to make internal movement within this storage type using LT10 with option "Immediate Confirmation" (of TO) , it doesn't work and we have to use LT12 to confirm transfer order seperately.
This is happening only if we are opting QUANT VIEW in LT10.If we use STORAGE UNIT view in LT10 and transfer the material with IMMEDIATE confrimation , TO gets confirmed immediately.
Further , functionality of "Immediate confrimation" works perfectly if we use storage type with other put-away strategy like "NEXT EMPTY BIN"
Need your immediate help on this
Regards
Sandeep Marwha

Hi Sandeep,
In open storage , you have only one bin per storage section. You are also having SU. So quant view will not work, thats why Storage unit view is working. Moreover, please check if mixed storage is enabled. If not then it will not allow multiple SU to accomodate. Thats where the Next empty bin will work.
Thanks,
Mono

Addn to stock flag for putaway strategy not working

Hi
It seems that the flag Addn to stock for putaway strategy in the storage type 103 configuration is not working fine as the quantities of the same material with the same batch sent to the same stype 103, and destination bin are not being added. So by running stock report in WM we see several lines with partial quantities instead of only one line with the total quantity in place. Do anybody know how can that be solved? Or what can be the route cause of the issue? Is there any OSS known applicable to fix the problem?
Thx for your help
Alba

Hi Guys
Unfortunately I do not think that you will get an answer now. Either your question is not simple or we do not know.
So in the interest of keeping the Forum tidy and easier to surf through could you please close your thread and wither try one of the other forums or try another post. I do not think that mosy people will bother to look this far back anymore.
Sorry I cannot help as I would if I could.

SAP WM: Mixed pallet with putaway strategy "P"

Dear Experts,
I am using putaway strategy P for a storage type and I have given X for Mixed storage field.
I am not able to put multiple batches of same material in one bin, is it possible with putaway strategy P
I am not using SU management.
Thanks in advance,
Amit Kumar

This is from a WM colleague:
First it will always look at same bin as a material is stored
with put away strategy “I”.
This scenario is completely wrong, if I understand it right.
He/she needs to look at the bin strategy for the SU types
defined in the LE qty. / SUT types for bin type.
Strategy “I” is for addition to stock like they said.
Capacity check 2 only works if it is SUT active, which they say it is
not. Not the check flag, but the SUT.
The strategy for SUT type allowed to bin type only works if it
is SUT managed, which they say it is not.
The strategy just doesn’t seem right. If they do not use
SU’s, the only capacity check that works is max from the material master (WM-1
view) weight “1”.
The bin type / SUT strategy will not work unless they are using
SUT’s for storage. Not just the LE qty. in the SUT defined.
If they aren’t using SUTs for storage, it is only a quant.
Noting is configurable for strategy of quant to storage bin type.

Putaway Strategy P - Managing different SU types

Hi gurus,
I'm experiencing the following problem.
Using the putaway strategy Pallet, the system processes different storage unit types and allocates them to the appropriate section, but only the same storage unit types can be placed into a storage bin at one time.
My need is to place at the same time different SU types into a storage bin. Is it possible?
Thank for your help!
Francesca

Hi
The storage unit is compatible with the current block when the 'maximum
storage units' which can be stored in the bin are the same. The
'maximum storage units' depends on the storage unit type of the first
storage unit you put it the bin. If the values of T337B-MAXLE are
different then the system will not allow the placement. This is the
is the standard behaviour.
Field LAGP-MAXLE indicates the maximum number of Storage Units that are
allowed to be placed into a bin and this is set during the first
placement into an empty bin in accordance with the block stucture
definition in transaction OMM4.
This does not mean that it is not possible to place different Storage
Unit Types in to the bin. This is possible but only when the block
structure definition in OMM4 has an identical value for the maximum
number of storage units in the block (T337B-MAXLE). If one has a value
of 20 and the other has a value of 10 then the system correctly issues
error L3 425.

Ramana

Pallet putaway strategy question

Dear all,
I am new in the pallet putaway strategy and need your experience advise if you have done this.
Question.
1 - To use the pallet putaway strategy (i.e. P), do I need to configure the Storage Bin Type search (i.e. spro > logistics execution > wm > strategies > activate storage bin type search)?? Is it compulsory?
2 - To use the pallet putaway strategy, the storage type MUST BE a SUT-managed and that the "SUT check activate" checkbox MUST Checked, am I correct?
thanks
Tuff

Hi,
the storage bin type search and the storage unit type check more or less is the same. You have to define storage unit types, storage bin types, assign which SUT goes into which SBT. Well, and then you activate the check.
You need to do this for the pallet strategy. You do NOT need to activate the storage unit management in a storage type with the pallet strategy.
Best regards
Juergen

Hi Alba,
Please check the WM views in MM.
I've checked:
(SAP help pushing F1 when the cursor is set on this thick box)
<i>Indicator: Allow addition to existing stock
Indicator determining whether a material with particular characteristics may be added to existing stock of the same material with the same characteristics in one storage bin.
Dependencies
If the storage type control table does not allow additions to existing stock for this storage type, the indicator set in the material master record is ineffective.</i>
