Fixed bins to be defined in a storage type

I have multiple materials in a storage type in which some of the bins need to be assigned as fixed bins and some of them not. Is this possible ? I have a requirement to use the fixed bins to be replenished from High rack.If this is not possible then I need to create so many sections to make sure each material need to be putaway in one assigned bin for that material.
Any ideas?

PutAway and Picking Strategies are determined at Storage Type level.
So you can only have one strategy per Storage Type : either FIXED BINS or another strategy.
One Storage type does not have to be BINs next to one another.....
In the same physical space you can have two storage types where some BINs are Fixed Bins in one Storage Type and some BINs are not fixed Bins in the other Storage Type....that is one possibility.
If that is not possible, then I would look at having a PutAway and Picking Strategies that are so restrictive for each material that they have to go to a specific BIN .
Those are only a few ideas, it really depends on what your constraints are, how many materials are concerned, etc....
And finally, there is the user-exit option.....

Wm fixed bin & sales order material differentiation

Hi Friends,
If I have one material which can be used in production & also can be sold to customer.
As I have fixed bin strategy if qty is low for the goods receipted from the vendor then it goes to fixed bin else high rack.
For the purchases for sales order we keep that material in high rack storage.
How can I differentiate so that goods receipt for sale should be moved to High rack storage.

hy,
we have the material that has a fixed bin setted up like this:
eg.
storage type 001 = fixed bin
storage type 002 = reserve (high rack)
so all the material that have a fixed bin, have the set the stock placement value in the material master to 002. Then we have a replenishment job that always refills the stock in the fixed bin location if the stock has reached the minimum bin quantity.
hope that helps.

WM fixed bin

Dear Experts,
I am using a putaway method of fixed bin.I have defined the fixed bin in the material master. I will be using capacity check # 3 (max quantity of bin).
Now, during putaway say the fixed bin is full,
1. Is it possible that the system moves the qty to the next empty bin within my fixed bin storage type or does it always putaway the qty into the overflow area defined as the 2nd entry in my storage type search table? Can i influence this with any specifc user exits?
2. if my putaway qty is 5 cases. Say in my fixed bin, current stock is 4 1/2 cases. During putaway in this scenario, system will suggest to putaway 1/2 case into the fixed bin and the remaining 4 1/2 into a different area? The recieveing clerk will not want to break open the case into 1/2 cases. How do i resolve this?
Thanks

Hi,
Please not that capacity check (1-3) is at quant level: For inspection method 3, the Quants of the corresponding material are putaway to a maximum of this quantity. For the above-mentioned reasons, it also applies here that the mixed storage should not be allowed.
Refer OSS Note 392776 for more information.
For your 1st question: I think its better to have Near picking bin as the 2nd entry in your storage type search table.
For your 2nd question: Using Inspection method 3, a different bin will be proposed as the check is in quant level.

Multiple bins in one section in storage type with 'C' open storage strategy

Experts,
I am doing random storage replenishment process for a Low rack location. The replenishment gets triggered from high rack to low rack.
The low rack storage type is defined as next empty bin as putaway strategy and the storage type contains multiple bins in each section.
There is process change and I want to place multiple SUs in one bin , I want to use the putaway strategy as 'C' open storage
and mixed storage allowed with SUT check and SU management active . It is working fine as expected in terms of triggering replenishment
and storing multiple SUs in 1 bin.My concern is that as a rule open storage should contain only one storage bin for section.But in my design , each section contains
multiple storage bins. Does is really hurt in any form? What are consequences? Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
You are right. Normally it does not hurt, but what you are doing with the new process change contradicts your original design. Can you explain why you had storage sections in the area in the original design? Did you segregate SKU's by product families/fast movers etc....and now you dont have that requirement anymore or your SKU management has changed?

Lean WM -Fixed Bin Creation

Hi,
We are planning to use lean WM for our business with fixed bins.Do we need to create storage sections in order to be able to create the fixed bins in the warehouse?if not how do we create the fixed bin .Where do we assign the fixed bins in the material master?Is it in the WM2 view?
best regards
Supratim

Hi,
When you implement the Warehouse Management System (WMS), you manage goods movements and stock changes in the warehouse at storage bin level. However, if you implement Lean WM, inventory management takes place solely at storage location level. The system does not update the stock data at storage bin level using the quants.
Since Lean WM does not update stocks at storage bin level, you can display the stock quantities solely in Inventory Management (IM) and not with the stock overview function in WM. Also, you cannot process possible stock differences that occur in the warehouse using Lean WM, only using Inventory Management (MM-IM):
Hope I cleared you. Please reward.

Hi,
Is your placement strategy for the storage type "B"? Is the factor of the stacks x stack height = No of SU's?

Transfer Order : Data for storage type search is not defined (A   )

Dear Experts ,
While trying to use the Transfer Order and trying to determine the storage type this error appears :
Data for storage type search is not defined (A   )
Message no. L3007
Diagnosis
Information on the storage type search has not been defined.
How ever , I have already configured the search and here is the Storage Type search's data in OMLY
1. Warehouse number : W10
2. Operation : A "Stock Removal"
3. Indicator :   E
4. Stock Category : Blank
5. Special Stock Category : Blank
6. Storage Location Ref :10
7. Storage Type : 10E
Please Advice
Edited by: Sap Sap on Feb 24, 2011 10:54 AM

Hello,
The storage type in which you want to place the material or pick the material from has not been defined in the storage type search sequence.
You need to define the search sequence in customization so that storage type is determined automatically when the transfer order is created;
SPRO>>Logistics Execution>>Warehouse Management>>Strategies>>Activate Storage Type Search
In this go to determine search sequence and then
for warehouse number W10, operation as stock removal 'A' and in this maintained the relevant the storage type (10E) so that it is determined automatically.
I hope this helps.

Here till PGI my report pgm is working fine. and when cominf to TO create based on i/b delivery i am getting error -
No destination storage bin to be found in storage type 104
I have added 2 lines in the FM at exception part -
error_message = 16
OTHERS = 32.
So my return code for the FM - L_TO_CREATE_DN (_FOR i/b delivery)_is 16
message class : L3
message number : 009
message type : E
No destination storage bin to be found in storage type 104
Can any one tell me how can be this rectified - Is this a config related issue or data problem ?
Pls help me.
Sen

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.

Changeability of storage type

Hi Guys,
- We are using storage type search
- 3 storage types are defined for the storage type indicator 001.
- In WM we have over 20 different storage types.
- The sorage type search works fine, it means that one of the 3
defined storage types is beeing found.
I know that the found storage type is meant as a proposal and that the user can change storage type/section/bin during processing of the transfer order (it means to select another of the restly 17 storage types defined in WM).
From business we got the requirement to avoid limit the change of the storage type and section (it means that the user should only be able to select one of the 3 storage types defined in the storage type search) , but still allow the change of the storage bin during manually processing of the TO.
The function "allow destination bin change" allows or avoids the entry of all 3 fields "storage type/storage section/storage bin". As we want onlz the bin to be changed, this functionality doesn't meet our requirement.
Do you know some options to achieve this ?
Thanks
Manuel

Is IT_FKKMAVS part of the same transport request or was it sent already earlier?
You may have a look at the request if it was OK. Probably not.
Maybe in the meantime more requests reached the system that now have in combination solved the problem. What is your release and support package level?
Higher versions of BRFplus have a lot of automatic correction mechanisms built into it.
E.g. problematic imports are collected in an import queue. As soon as a request comes in that fixes any problems the after import processing for faulty imports is automatically redone.

WM-Backflushed materials issued from different storage type

Hello my client has an issue in WH Service order issue
we face the problem that articles which are marked for back flushing aren't properly handled by the system with service orders. In normal production orders when the activity is closed on which the articles are set, the back flushing items are atomically issued from warehouse type 100 (location Backflush according to the rules set by LPK1,2,3) however when the activity of an Service order is closed the items are issued from warehouse type 914 creating and imbalance in WM. Please Is it a configuration issue or any other issue i should liik in to.
Kindly guide me to handle this.
Regards
Bheema

Hi,
Please check for service orders, yu should check CRATE parts and RELEASE ORDER parts. In their control cycles in LPK1/LPK2 you can define from which storage type / bin they are consumed when you book consumption against your PrdOrdservice order.
At the time of backflushing (in standard system) the components will go to 914+dynamic bin (or fixed bin, based on your settings). Normally TR creation is set on WM/IM interface and processing the TR you can move the components from WM to interim storage type 914. Thanking you.

Storage type indicators in Material master

Hi all,
I have created the list of Storage type indicator as follows,
Storage type Indicator
A01 A FIF
A01 E ARD
A01 E ATD
A01 E CGD
A01 E LGT
A01 E RSK
For stock removal storagetype indicator is only FIF
For Stock placement storagetype indicator is ARD,ATD,CGD,LGT,RSK
When i create a material in Material master ,for the WM view ,
the fields stock removal & stock placement having list of all the Storage type indicators.
AS per requirement ,The fields stock removal & stock placement (material master )should contain only the relevent storage type indicator.
Please suggest me how to do the same...?
Thanks & regards,
Dhanapal

Hello Dhanapal,
In material master you can maintain only one storage type indicator for putaway and one for removal, now based on this indicator you need to define the putaway storage type search stretagy so it will be optimized to find the storage bin.
For example,
As per the business requirement material ABCD must go to Storage type 001 and material BCDE must go to Storage type 002
so in above case,
Define storaget type indicator ARD and assign it to material ABCD, then in configuration you define putaway storage search as 001 with that ARD indicator.
In the same fashion you can define 002 for the another material.
Hope this helps.

Hi
Go to transaction CMOd and create a project there and activate it
then find the user exits there for transaction CO01.
you will find it there.
Or go to SE84 and look for enhancement there.

Stock transfer Order goods receipt puts goods into storage type 902 Q

How do we configure the STO GR to use storage type 917 as our purchase oders do?
Thanks

Hi,
Please check your settings in WM-IM interface (SPRO > LE > WM > Interfaces > IM > Define Movement Types). HEre you can check which WM-mvt belongs to (trough reference mvt) the IM-mvt.
After that (knowing which WM-mvt is to be modified), in SPRO > LE > WM > Activities > Transfers > Define Movement Types, you can define the interim storage type for your WM-mvt (please take care of choosing the proper WH & mvt combination).

Csaba

Wm-fixed bin storage

hi all,
Each time a goods receipt is posted for material ABC, you want to move the material directly to
the fixed storage bin FIX-ABC in storage type 005 of warehouse number 001 without creating a
transfer requirement or transfer order. To do this, you need to set up the system as follows:
1. Create the fixed storage bin FIX-ABC in storage type 005 that is defined in the standard
system using the fixed bin search strategy. (See Stock Placement Strategy F: Fixed Storage
Bin [Page 359])
2. Create a special movement indicator for your warehouse number.
3. Add the special movement indicator and the fixed storage bin FIX-ABC to the material master
for material ABC. (Be sure to enter storage type 005 in the organizational level dialog box
when creating the material master).
4. Create a new WM movement type to move materials directly into fixed storage bins without
creating transfer orders or transfer requirements.
5. In the reference movement type table, create a new entry that links an appropriate IM
movement type to the new movement type using the special movement indicator.
i follow the above all the steps but the stock not moved to my fixed bin (005),instead of that its moved to shelf storage bin(002) . plz,try to solve my problem.
Appreciate your help as always.
regards
muthuraman.d

Hi
In the configuration for st type search strategies you can create a st type indicator (maybe FIX)
In the placement (E) you can add this indicator to your warehouse and in the table add 005 st type only which means if the system sees this indicator it has to go to 005
Finally in the WM1 view of the material master add the FIX in the stock placement field and then every time the material arrives it should look at the FIX nd then go to the search strategy and see that it goes to 005.
If you have lots of material for this strategy then when you have done the config use MM17 to update all of the materials with FIX.
I hope that this helps
Frenchy.
