1.2 Lean WM Basic Settings
1.2.1 Defining Defining ControlControl Parameters and Number Ranges for the Warehouse Number  Parameters for the Warehouse Number
Use
A warehouse number is an organizational unit in Logistics, which organizes the company from the perspective of Warehouse Management.
In the Warehouse Management System, you can define a variety of control parameters at warehouse number level.
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
 Picking  Shipping  Logistic Execution IMG Menu IMG   Define control parameters and number ranges for the warehouse numberLean WM  Define control parameters and number ranges for warehouse no.(double click)
Transaction Code SM30
2. Find the Field Name and input the relative value into the field.

Group number 01 R
1.2.2 Defining Storage Type
Use
A warehouse number is subdivided into a variety of storage types. A storage type is defined by its physical or organizational features (for example, high rack storage area, bulk storage, and goods receipt areas).
A storage type has a short description rather than an address.
Before you can implement Lean WM, you must configure the following settings:
1. Assign a (newly defined) storage location to a warehouse number.(This step is defined by step 3.12 Control Plant / Storage Location / Warehouse Number Assignment
2. You should set up at least three storage types:
a storage type (that will be used as a source storage type) with one or several fixed storage bins
a goods issue area (as destination storage type) for deliveries
an interim storage area for differences
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:

1.2.3 Defining Doors
Use
In a WM-managed warehouse, you can define dock doors (also known as doors or gates). A door is a location where the goods either arrive in the warehouse or leave it.
You can assign different functions to a dock door, for example:
Goods receipt
Goods issue
Other transactions such as cross-docking and flow-through
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
 Picking  Shipping  Logistic Execution IMG Menu IMG  Define DoorsLean WM

1.2.4 Defining Material Staging Areas
Use
A staging area is an interim storage area for goods that have been received from goods receipt and afterwards need to be transferred into the warehouse.
It is also an interim storage area for goods that were picked in a warehouse and are to be loaded for goods issue through loading ramps or doors.
You can assign different functions to a staging area:
• Goods issue
• Goods receipt
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
 Lean WM  Picking  Shipping  Logistic Execution IMG Menu IMG  Define Material Staging Area
Transaction Code SM30

1.2.5 Defining Picking Area
Use
A picking area is an object within a storage type that groups together storage bins for purposes of stock removal.
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu IMG  Define Picking Lean WM  Picking  Shipping Logistic Execution  Area
Transaction Code SM30

1.2.6 Defining Transfer Type
Use
In Lean WM, the transfer type "A" (stock removal) is required for movement type control.
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
 Picking  Shipping  Logistic Execution IMG Menu IMG   Define Transfer TypeLean WM
Transaction Code SM30
2. Find the Field Name and input the relative value into the field
Table V_T333A2
Field name Value R/O/C Description
WhN L01 R Warehouse number

Text f. shipment type Pick R
1.2.7 Defining Movement Types
Use
The SAP R/3 System uses movement type to process movements in Inventory Management (for example, goods receipt for a purchase order or goods issue to a cost center). When the system recognizes a movement as being relevant for Warehouse Management, it assigns this movement to a WM movement type by means of a table.
The movement type for the Warehouse Management System provides the information required for stock removals or picking:
Interim storage bin
Fixed bin coordinate
Control indicator for processing, confirming, and printing transfer orders
Confirmation info

1.3 Print Control for Warehouse
Use
Print control defines the following:
• Which slips are to be printed for the movements (that is, for the transfer orders) within the Warehouse Management System
• How these slips are to be printed (that is, which forms are to be used, how many copies are to be printed)
• On which printer a slip is to be printed automatically
And print control manages the print operations of the warehouse. This flexibility involves a certain degree of complexity with regard to the parameterization.
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu IMG   Define Print Lean WM  Picking  Shipping Logistic Execution  control

1.4.1 Maintaining Number Range Intervals for Transfer Order
Use
Maintain number range intervals for transfer order
Procedure
In this step, you define that, the Number range for Transfer order as 01 and Group number as 01, now you should tell the system how the number range would like for 01 as transfer order and 01 for the group number, for both number range, you may define you own number range, the following information just for reference:
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
 Logistic Execution IMG Menu IMG   Define control parameters and number ranges for Lean WM  Picking Shipping   Maintain number range intervals for transfer ordersthe warehouse number  (double click)
Transaction Code LN02
Check if the internal number range 01 (0000000001-1000000000) has been defined
Once you have defined your number ranges, it is extremely difficult to change them afterwards when the objects concerned are filled with data.
Bear in mind that you will be entering data on a long-term basis. Create your number range intervals accordingly.
1.4.2 Maintaining Number Range Intervals for Reference Numbers
Use
Reference number range has the following meanings:
This number identifies a number range to be used for the assignment of sequential numbers for WM reference numbers. Reference numbers are used to create or print a group of transfer orders at one time.
A sequential number generated by the system for the purpose of multiple processing of transfer requirements and delivery notes.
The reference number can also be used to print the resulting transfer orders at a later time.
Procedure
In this step, you define that, the Number range for Transfer order as 01 and Group number as 01, now you should tell the system how the number range would like for 01 as transfer order and 01 for the group number, for both number range, you may define you own number range, the following information just for reference:
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu IMG  Define control parameters Lean WM  Picking  Shipping Logistic Execution   Maintain number range intervals forand number ranges for the warehouse number  Reference Numbers( double click)
Transaction Code LN06
Check if the internal number range 01 (5000000000 - 5999999999) has been defined
Once you have defined your number ranges, it is extremely difficult to change them afterwards when the objects concerned are filled with data.
Bear in mind that you will be entering data on a long-term basis. Create your number range intervals accordingly.
