Picking Strategy based on SLED

Hi All,
I have a business requirement for picking of material for a specific Storage type indicator R03 based on SLED but in a manner as explained below.
The material is currently lying in say 6 different storage types viz 021, 031, 101, 102, 103, and 030. Now, the user wanted to pick material with the lowest SLED across all the storage type mentioned above at the time of TO creation. So i tried using the EXIT MWMTO013, but then user later wanted to exclude some storage type (Storage type 101 in our case) as well for picking irrespective of SLED, which means they wanted to pick that stock of material which has the lowest SLED in Styp - 021,031,102,103,030 only and the system should not look into 101 even if the lowest SLED is lying there.
All, i could thought was either we define those specific storage types in the OMLY transaction but suppose if any new storage types are created later and those are required for picking then we will have to maintain as well along with others so the search sequence will be as +++, 021, 031, 102, 103, 030 as the first, second,....storage type search for R03 storage type indicator.
So, can anyone help in here if we can accommodate this request for picking the stock of any material based on lowest SLED from among st some storage types and not looking into others even though the lowest is lying in say 101(in our case). and without maintaining any data even if new storage types are created later.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi
Both are having different meaning during search, if you maintain +++ then system search the Quant across the storage type (you can say at warehouse level) when you define 021, 031 then it will individually go and find from that storage type, in the above scenario (+++ will get satisfied first hence your second statement "but in a manner as the stock should be picked always first from 021 and then 031, then 030 and 102" doest not hold true in that case
Take a scenario where your lowest Quant exist in 031 as per SLED, and two Quant exist in 021 which are having different SLED which gets expired after the Quant from 031. What is ur expectation from the system in that case
Either you can have SLED for the warehouse (across the storage type) or individually for a storage type or else you can go for custom code where based on +++ you will find all the Quant from the LQUA across the storage type and then sort it based on Storage type+ SLED and then start allocating the Quant

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

Picking strategy M

Picking strategy M (Large/Small quantities) has been configured.
Search sequence: 003 - 002
System should pick partial quantity from 003 and full pallet from 002.
6 DU = 1 PAL
Control quantity in material master has been set to 5.
The problem is, when there is no stock in 003 and the quantity ordered is partial (say 1 DU), the system creates a transfer order for 6 DU from storage type: 002. According to configuration, the system should not be checking in 002 at all since quantity is less than 1 PAL, right?

Hi Anushree,
T_QMAT contains the list of Quants fetched by System based on your Search Strategy. In case you do not wish to pick from a particular storage type because the quantity being picked is not a complete Pallet, then you need to modify that particular Quant Entry in T_QMAT.
Say for e.g. in your case no stock was found in 003, so system fetches the Quant from 002 for 1 DU. This particular entry should be deleted from T_QMAT as you don't want the system to consider it. Alternatively, if the Quantity had been say 10 DU and you want 1 PAL to be picked from 002 but not the partial Pallet, then you need to modify the Quantity (AUSME or some other field-check in the table and you will find the correct field-as I am without SAP access right now) available in the Quant entry in T_QMAT (modification instead of deletion). So add the logic to check the Pallet conversion quantity and decide on modification or deletion of the particular Quant entry for the Storage type.
I am not sure if you have to set the indicator for exiting the TO creation Process-need to test it in the system, once I am logged in. But you can make code changes and debug the scenario to arrive at the results.
Alternative: Did you try making the storage type 002 a Pallet storage type with control quantity = Pallet quantity and see if it works.
Let me know how it goes.

Shashi

Batch search strategy based on goods receipt date

Hello,
Can some one help me with setting up Batch search strategy based on goods receipt date currently is on batch number.
Thanks a lot
Thanks!
Best Regards
Srw

Hi
If you want to set up Batch search strategy based on goods receipt date......then you have to create GR Date as one charecteristics in T.Code: CT04 and assign this charecter in Class with respect to class type 023
Then assign this class in Material Master Classification view..
Make sure in Material master, Purchasing view...you have activated Batch management active check box....
Then when ever you do GR in MIGO, In batch tab, In classification field maintain the GR Date..
Then Create sort sequence in T.Code: CU70 and you can maintain in what basis ie)in assending or desending GR Date you have to search the batch..
And then Create Batch Search Statergy in MBC1 and there you assign the sort sequence in Details...
Now you do your regular procedings.....the material Batch will be searched based on GR Date...
Reward if useful

Purchase order release strategy based on over delivery tolerance level

Hi Boss,
I like to set the Purchase order release strategy based on the over delivery tolerance. But when i checking, the over delivery tolerance filed UEBTO is not in the communication structure CEKKO. Can you please help me how should i extend the CEKKO with field UEBTO.
I do not have the ABAP experience, please guide me with coding.
Thank you,
Siva

Hi Siva:
You should request the development key for this structure under your SAP system, then you can add the extra fields in CEKKO.
Good luck

PO release strategy based on Material Group (CEKKO - MAKTL)

Hi Experts,
I have configure the Rel strategy based CEKKO-MATKL (material group) for purchase order, but when i raise the PO Rel strategy is not affecting, Can any body tell me why.
Regards,
Kumar

You can set Release strategy based on Material group & other Line item specific fields..
You better follow a suitable and hinder less process..
For PR use Material group & Account Assignment based Release process..
then for PO use a Release Process based on Header level fields like Doc type, Amount, pur Group etc..
So that the approved PR line can be converted into PR and then the PO also subjected to Release before sending it to External Vendor..
Even if you want you can make that the PO can not be created without referencing PR for SOme users or All users..
based on your business requirement..

User Exit to configure custom picking strategy

Wonder if anyone can help - I've been requested by one of our analysts to look into the user exit to allow us to define a custom Raw Material picking strategy.
Currently we use FIFO which seems to work on the date that the material is receipted into the warehouse, which is fine if the material is GR'd into stores and then only issued when it is fully consumed. The problem seems to occur when we return some of the material back into warehouse stock. It then seems to take the date we receipted the material back into stock as the date for the picking strategy - resulting in it picking newer batches of material, when an older batch has been returned to stock.
Ideally we need to use the GR Date or the SAP internal batch no (where the earliest batch will always equate to the oldest material).
They have done some investigations and it seems to be that the recommended solution is to use user exit MWMTO004 or MWMTO013.
However, the problem is I'm not sure what to code here to get the FIFO strategy to use the GR Date or Batch No - do I have to lookup, find the earliest GR Date/Batch No and then assign it to a particular field in order that this will then be used for the picking strategy ?
Does anyone have any examples of code they've used in the user exit when they wanted to create a custom picking strategy ?
Many Thanks for any help,
Helen Smith

BADI is available to create custom field in material component , but it is available as of ECC 6.0 EHP3 , not sure about 4.7

Picking strategy M issue

Hi People,
I am using picking strategy as M (small and large quantities). In my materials, I have defined control quantity as 30 cs. So when a transfer order is created for more than 30 cs, system picks from 001 storage type and if TO quantity is less than 30 cs, system picks from 002 storage type. This is working fine.
My picking sequence is: 001 then 002. But when there is no stock in 001, system doesnt suggest to go and pick from 002 automatically.
I would like system to go to storage type 002 and pick from there if there isn't any stock left in 001. How should I make this work. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Please check in the material master have you defined 001 storage type for picking if it is there then remove it.

Ravi shankar.

Release strategy based on costcentre for PR

Hi Experts
I want to add Cost Centre as my release criteria in the existing release strategy . Presently I have Purchase grp and amount as my release criteria . Pls advise me how to proceed on this . Kindly also let me know how the user can be mapped to cost centres for approval as the user wants to have different approvers for different cost centres. We have searched for the authorisation obj for cost centre but could not get mor information .Pls help .
Thanks
Edited by: Devashish Lenka on Sep 6, 2010 2:10 PM

Hi,
Option-1:
You can create release characteristics with field KOSTL and add this characteristic with release class with other release characteristics. And you can design your release strategy based on requirement & then limit the cost center via authorization object K_REPO_CCA
Option-2:
Create Purchasing Group (OME4) as Department & assign the department to Cost center(KS02/KS01). Now create purchasing group as release characteristics with field EKGRP add this characteristic with release class with other release characteristics. And now you can design your release strategy based on requirement.

Strategy in task list and Strategy based Maintenance Plan

Dear Gurus,
I have some doubt about
is it same if we create a single cycle plan with a task list in which maintenance strategy let say A is being used and a maintenance plan strategy based let say A and task list without any strategy
can some one explain use of strategy in task list and maintenance plan
Regards
Armaan

Hi,
In Strategy Based Plans :- When ur entering strategy in initial screen of IP42 then inside the plan system will allow u to select tasklists created with that strategy only ...
In Single Cycle Plans :- Here even though if u select tasklist of a particular strategy , system copies all the operations of the tasklist to the order...
From your above example :- Single Cycle Plan if cycle is monthly is equal to strategy based plan having only 1Month package .
further package in strategy allows u to select which operations of tasklist u want for 1Month..

Strategy based inspection for bridges

Hi Guys,
I have a scenario to map for Bridges inspection on my current project
The scenario is...
We have a bridge 'A' that undergoes two levels of inspection Level 1 and Level 2. The frequency for 'L1' is Annual and for L2 every 5 years. L1 is a visual inspection and L2 is a detailed inspection. Whenever we have L2 inspections there should be no L1 inspection scheduled.
I have mapped the scenarios as follows
1) Created and equipment for the Bridge
2) Created a equipment tasklist - with two group counters - counter '1' for Level 1 counter '2' for Level 2.
However i can't understand how to avoid Level 1 inpsections when there is a 'L2' inspection. This sounds to me like a strategy based inspection but not quite sure how to map it?
Thanks,
Sravan

Greetings Sravan,
I agree with Maheswaran KD .,it looks like the use of Offsets is the best for you. As you want to schedule the plans at different dates, that are not offset by exactly 1 year from one another, you need to create 2 Plans.
A word of caution is that the Plans can't "talk" to one another (unless you created some enhancement), but you can align the maintenance date with your requirement through a resourceful use of offsets:
Create 5 Packages, each with 60 Months cycle and an Offset multiple of 12.
Assign the Packages 1,2,3,4 in your Visual Inspection plan & Package 5 in your Detailed Inspection plan.
Yoiu may specify different start dates, which should be your last inspection date for each level.
Be aware that if you should need to reschedule the Maintenance Plans, you have to do this for both of them independently.
