Fixed Bin Vs Random bin

Dear WM Experts
Right now we are using Fixed bin in our WM. Can we conside random bin while doing ECC6 upgrade in early next year. Can you please let me know the disadvantages of fixed bin vs advantages of random bin. Appreciate your reply/inputs on this.
Thanks & regards: Siva

Hi Siva,
Its purely depends on the flow of goods into your warehouse and the business process which your company is following.
If you are having a very small warehouse with a very small quantities of materials, you don't need random bins, instead you can have a fixed bin by material.
The disadvantage is....in future, if you are getting huge quantities of materials in your warehouse, it is not possible to create new fixed bin again for the same material, because SAP supports only one fixed storage bin.
In case of random bin, irrespective of the quantity or the new materials, you can go on in crease the no. of bins in the same storage type.
Hope it helps you.

Replenishment for random bins

hello all,
I would like to verify the steps below that i am planning to use for random bin management in a storage type.
1. I am planning to use mvmt. type 319 and assign it to particular storage type in configuration,
2. I am using only the Minimum and replenishment quantity for the particular storage type without specifying any fixed bins in the material master.
3. planning to use t- code LP24 to carry out random bin replenishment.
4. also, i would like to what is the difference between "Transfer orders immediate for fixed bins and Transfer orders Immediate for random bins" in configuration under replenishment method for storage type.
pl. let me know if all these steps are correct and if i want to carry out any more additional steps.
Thanks,
Maxx

The differnece in configuration is that in field V_T331M-REPLT you set "1" (immediate TO, fixed bin) or "2" (immediate TO, random).
In case of fixed bin:

1. Immediate TO Creation for Fixed Bins
With this replenishment strategy, the system checks the stock situation in the bin during transfer order confirmation. It uses the quant data and the material master data from the storage type view. A replenishment transfer order determines the fixed storage bin of the material in this storage type as the destination storage bin.
In case of random bin replenishment:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/fd/90fbf4b3cd11d3b2ad0050045571f7/frameset.htm
2. Immediate TO Creation Random Bin Management
With this replenishment strategy, the system checks the stock situation of the material in the entire storage type during transfer order confirmation. All the quant data of the material in this storage type and the material master data from the storage type view are used by the system. If the entire stock in this storage type falls below the minimum quantity after transfer confirmation, the system creates a replenishment transfer order. The destination storage bin is determined through the putaway strategy for this storage type. Maintenance of a fixed storage bin is therefore not required in the storage type view of the material master.
So, as you can see, the differences are:
- stock situation --> system checks only the (destination) fixed bin (fixed bin) / system checks the (destination) storage type (random)
- destination bin --> fixed bin (fixed bin) / determined based on the putaway strategy of the storage type (random)

Why do my imported files or created titles always go to some random bin and not the one I want?

Everytime I import a file via right clicking > Import. It will always go to some random bin that I don't want it to. Each project it's a different bin. Even if I right click > import on the bin I want it to import into, the file will still go to some pre determined default folder. Usually one of my Footage folders a couple of layers down.
This same thing happens when created titles. I usually have to do a search to find the files. When I used CS2 and 3 I never had this problem.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to not have it go to a pre determined default bin? Or can I change that Bin?
Currently the only way I can get a file to go into the folder I want via importing is when I drag and drop it from my explorer window. I don't use the CS5 media browser because It doesn't have thumbnails.
Thoughts, solutions?
Thanks in advance.

Close.
With this specific bin structure, if I import as you described the file imports to the Reception Bin. I tried the same proceedure with highlighting>righ clicking> and importing, files to all bin levels even to the root level not inside a bin and it still goes to the reception bin. So for what ever reason for this project I am working on now the Reception Bin has become the default bin.
This holds true for titles as well, they get created in the reception bin.
I thought it might have something to do with the fact that I presort my footage into folders then "import folder" into the footage bin. I thought it might have something to do with the last bin I created or imported became a default bin but in this scenario. The Receception bin is the second to last folder I imported/created.

WM : How to move Stock available in Interim bin to normal bin

Hi...
I am doing MB1C using MType 561 to create some inventory of a material.
The stock gets incresed in plant / storage location at INV level but in WM it is lying at interim location of linked warehouse / storage type.
I did try to find out the TR number against which I can create / confirm TO to move inventory into normal BIN, but no TR is created for this transaction.In this regard I have two queries
1) I could find out one field in transaction where we linked Reference movement Type to WM movement type. In that field we can set whether we need to generate TR or not and for movement Type 561 is it set as DONT generate TR.
Is that the reason why TR was not generated ??
Since this is the standard SAP settings therefore wondering what could be the business logic behind it ??
2) My second query is .... since for this transaction , TR is not generated therefore how to move that inventory from INTERIM BIN to NORMAL BIN , I mean which Transaction I should use ??
Thx in advance ...
Regards
SANDEEP MARWHA

Hi,
just check whether you followed these steps.If you follow, then system should create TR.
1) Make a new WM movement type 561.
2) Link it with IM movement type 561 by using a reference movement type.
3) Check an interim storage type 998 is present in the system.
4)Give 998 storage type in the 561 WM movement type detail.
5)Create a fixed storage bin in storage type 998 and assign this storage bin in the WM movement type 561.
6)DO mb1c & TR created.
7)Confirm the TO.
Cheers

[SOLVED] "warning: could not find /bin/bash, starting /bin/sh instead"

Hello all.
I've just installed arch, despite very little knowledge of linux (i had ubuntu for a short while before this), but I like a challenge so i thought i'd throw myself in at the deep end.
The installation went reasonably smoothly, but now i've got it up and running (with a minimal KDE install) but when I open up the konsole, I get the message
"Warning: Could not find '/bin/bash/', starting '/bin/sh' instead. Please check your profile settings."
and subsequently I cannot "su jake" (jake being my username, obviously). It requests my password, but when i press return I get the response
su: /bin/bash/: Not a directory
which means i've obviously done something wrong, but I cant make head nor tail of the archwiki on Bash, and from googling, I cant find anyone with a similar issue. I can run from root, but it's not ideal.
Thanks for any response as to why this might be happening, and how to fix it.

Select a fixed number of random rows

Hi,
I just would like to select a fixed number of random rows from a table. That is, I would like to get 5 rows, without specifying the row_id, and the selected rows should "always" be different. Just as picking 5 balls out of a big box (which is filled with many balls).
Is there a way to easily put it into one sql statement or do I have to write a workaround in the programming language I use?
Thanks a lot in advance,
CQ

AskTom has a discussion on this:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:6075151195522
Note that it requires that you
1) Generate a random number for every row in the table
2) Sort the table by those random numbers
which is a significant performance hit if the table is large.

Ld.so.1: /usr/java1.2.1/bin/../bin/sparc/native_threads/java: fatal: libhpi

Hi
i am calling a java program from a shell script. While i the java program runs successfully when run from command prompt, it does not run when triggerred by another program. The gid runtime is also different, which is how it is required. i get the following error when run with the different gid.
"ld.so.1: /usr/java1.2.1/bin/../bin/sparc/native_threads/java: fatal: libhpi.so: open failed: No such file or directory"
The environment where this program is run is java1.2.1 in Solaris 7.
i have also tried by by including the .so path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This does not solve the problem.
i have noticed a few related topics and may be this is an old issue but i am not getting any solution yet.
thanks to all your help in advance
shiv

Thanks jschell.
i had to copy the files when the script calling the java program is executed as part of a triggering process run with a different euid/gid.
When executed from command prompt, the script ( and the program) work fine. This probably has something to do with the security issues as can be seen under the security section of the ld.so.1 manual page.
Thanks for pointing out that it is something to do with the environment. i'm wondering if i should copy the java lib files too to the default /usr/lib directory, so the libs are avaiable during such a runtime. Might give a try!

Putaway Strategy for replenishment of fixed bins - SU destination bin

My client is using ECC 6.0 Retail and using WM.
After creating the TR for the replenishment of the fixed bins according to the bin situtation using LP21, we create TOs using LB11 for article. At the TO creation, the system creates a new Quant and automatically proposes the SU# from the source bin to the destination bin. We allow addition to stock but not mixed SUs. However you can manually overwrite and input the current SU destination bin but this is very time consuming. Is there a way to have this process done automatically?
Thanks Gaetan

Hi Gaetan,
It seems this topic is extremly important recently...e.g.:
Addition to storage unit
I'm not aware of anything in standard SAP that would help you to realize your scenario. (if it is very important maybe it should be indicated to SAP AG. However, in a WH where SU management is active the material flow is realized trough SUs > if warehouse workers add the stock physically from one SU to other SU it means additional work for them physically and therefore in SAP too).

Csaba

Are the replacement Heatsinks fixing people's Random Shutdown problems?

Is the replacement heatsink (the shorter one) still the method of choice from Apple for fixing Random Shutdown problems?
Is it working for people who've had it done recently?

Does this max out the CPU?
Yes. People who advocate this are testing to see if it's possible to induce a "random" shut down.
Why would anyone want to do that?
Good question. I've seen two reasons put forward: (a) It's better to make it happen now yourself rather let it strike out of the blue at some later date (and if running this test doesn't induce RSDs you can feel confident that your computer is probably immune); (b) If you take your MacBook to an Apple Store it could be useful for demonstrating to an Apple "genius" that your computer has the problem, especially if your shutdowns are infrequent.
(personally, I don't agree with (a))

How to clear stock from storage bin and delete bins?

Hi All
For the development of prototype we have made some dummy warehouse structure and made stock movements with dummy bins. Now we wanted to go for real implementation. Before we made actual configurations, we wanted clear all dummy data. Can anyone suggest the standard process for clearing the stock, storage bins?
Thanks
Sasidhar Gupta

Hi Sasidhar.
is it non production system.
If yes you can move all this stock in some other storage type as dummy with dummy name.
and you can use all built as actuals.
or do PI and remove all stock from system as not actual stock .
and if its non production system then why are u worrying about all this. Let it be and start building your system as you require.

/usr/local/bin vs /usr/bin and Kazehakase vs Firefox

When you install an application to /usr/bin will it be more faster than installed on /usr/local/bin?
I have Firefox installed in /usr/bin and Kazehakase installed to /usr/local/bin. And it seems that Firefox is faster than Kazehakase. Why?

No seriously, if you rename all your executables to one letter then your system runs like lightning!

Vista - Sleep FINALLY fixed, still annoying Random Shutdowns

Ok, they FINALLY fixed it so the Mac Pro wakes from sleep in Vista RC1 with the recent EFI update, now they need to fix the Random Shutdowns. These occur as if you were telling your system to shutdown, I do not suspect the power supply because it is not an abrupt power loss, it gracefully shuts down, but of-course is annoying as h3ll...
Here's looking forward to the Leopard/Vista releases when all of this should be worked out!
SH
Does Vista RC2 run any better? Have better Bluetooth support?

... well... that was really a (slap in face) help ??
I never tried sleep or hibernate, but I read the latest RTM had some fixes in there regarding better support now for laptops and sleep.
Ignorance is bliss perhaps? or, it is a mixed world? or, there is still software that is not available...
How about, curiosity? that's always been man's greatest strength, too.
Being able to run Windows Vista on Mac Pro must be something even Apple engineers are keep to do and improve on.
Every release for OS X takes a couple updates to be "ready" for use. Long-term that has meant 2-3 updates for the last three+ releases, and each release meant more work for everyone, developer and end user, while "rules" change and hardware and software has to be updated to accommodate those changes. Even good changes are still costly, and some have been costly.
I've lived and survived FIVE releases, $600+ for one machine license, and over a year of that was "1.0" issues all over again. And the same story will get played out next year, too, bet on it.
Some people like to explore linux and alternatives. I have, and while I've never felt linux offered the desktop experience I want, I thought SuSE 6.4 gave OS 8/9 a real run for the money at the time.
Things to Love/Hate about Vista
I can now help my Dad 1200 miles away with his PC Windows w/o needing a PC. I can run multiple VMs. One computer, multiple OSs. VMware, Parallels, CrossOver, as well as native installs.
And maybe, just maybe, a more secure desktop PC will help everyone. However, a really good balanced review might actually be one from ComputerWorld - Vista may make Mac converts of IT folks!
IT folks can support XP/Vista and be running Mac OS X

How to fix iPhone 3G "Random Error 1645".

I kept getting the "Unknown 1645" error. iTunes wouldn't let me update/restore my iPhone. Until I came across this, which worked and now my iPhone is fully operational again. I hope others who are experiencing this "Random Error 1645" come across this thread.
1. Disconnect your iPhone cable but leave connected the other USB end to the computer.
2. Turn off your iPhone holding the Sleep/Wake button. The red slider bar appears. Slide the bar and wait until the iPhone turns off. Or you could hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time until the iPhone turns off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button connect the USB cable to your iPhone. It should power on. Hold the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" message. Open iTunes if necessary. You should see the "iTunes detected an iPhone in recovery mode..." alert screen.
4. Choose "Restore".
Thanks.

The iPhone is not user servicable. You can go to http://www.ifixit.com and get some instruction on how to try if if you want. Given that the 3G has been discontinued for 2 1/2 years, and there isn't much market for it any more, it might be worth your while.
There is no magic that can fix broken hardware.
You can get it replaced by Apple for $149, but at this stage, I think a newer phone would be a better investment.

Any Ideas whet to do with this?Ensure the .bin file is executable and your Linux environment has access to the net. The bin will run a network-based install.
These .bin files are usually self-extracting, and a brief description of this is at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-unix-command-run-execute-bin-files-in-linux/ (which can be found using http://lmgtfy.com/?q=linux+.bin+files)
There are forums that deal specifically in installing WebLogic Server, and these forums are available by going to the "Forum Home" link at the top of the page and scrolling down. Curious - why are you asking DBAs who deal primarily with Oracle Database Server and not middleware?

Possible Fix for the Random Shutdown Issue

One of the readers at MacFixit was able too find a solution to his RSD Macbook. He discovered when he removed the top case (they keyboard) off his machine, the Macbook worked fine. After further investigation, he found out that the top case and the heat sync seem to touch each other while the machine is closed (generating more heat). To fix the RSD he put kapton tape on the top case (to separate the heat sync and the top case) and on the track pad cable. Not only did it fix the RSD problem, another plus it causes the computer to run cooler.
So it appears what Apple needs to do is, either put Kapton tape on the top case, or move some the thermal grease from the processor too the top case. Another easy fix might be just to send out new top cases (since only a significant minority are effected by this problem, their might just be a set of bad cases out their).
Before you decide to open up your machine and put on Kapton tape on your machine, keep this in mind, it will void your warranty.

Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Holding down the power button until it beeps is still the only way that I can get my machine to boot up fully and become operational. I was starting to think that I was crazy after reading above that all it did was to remind me that my finger was still on the power button. I've had my husband and my son watch this process just to convince myself I wasn't crazy.
I've been deleting software, going through log files, making other changes to make sure that they weren't interfering with the machine working. I shut the machine off this morning to go do something else. When I turned it on again I forgot to hold the power button until I heard the beep. After I logged in, I realized that I hadn't done that and that the machine had actually gone through the complete boot cycle and login. I thought "wow, maybe I fixed it. Maybe it was something software related." I waited for a few minutes to make sure that everything that it had to do in its start up was finished before I did anything thinking "well maybe its just that I try to do too many things too quickly, and it is operator error and my fault I've been having this problem". Then I went to open Safari and "blink" the machine went dead.
Then I put my finger on the power button until it beeped to start it up a second time. I've been working on it for six hours now. It's gone to sleep while I've been on the phone, I've woken it up with a short press of the power button and logged in a few times today.....not one single problem in 6 hours.
It's crazy. I don't know what holding the power button for that long does but it must be resetting or otherwise doing something that causes it to override whatever problem was causing it to just shut down by itself. I love everything else about this MacBook. I don't want to have someone start taking it apart and putting it back together again. If the fix is just remembering to "hold power until it beeps" I"ll live with it.
