Picking Strategy M Large/small quantities

Hi,
I am using the Picking Strategy M Large/small quantities included
And the control quantity in the material master is a pallet.
The problem is that in picking we have got several boxes that all together sum up a pallet but I want the user takes from Block storage (higher than picking storage unit)
Do you know how to solve it?
I think that the problem would be solved if the system proposes the palletization data from material master data
When I make an inbounds (receptions 101) it is working but not in outbounds (sales deliveries).
Regards,
                   Enrique

Hi,
I have maintained the palletization data in materiel master WM view,
For the entries 101, 501 it is working fine.
Example: pallet E1 is 100 units.
If I make a reception of 120 units. The system splits in 100 (1 pallet) and 20 units.
This is OK.
But if I make a goods issue of 120 units. The system tries to get 120 units
This is not OK because in picking I don´t have pallets (I don´t manage SU) but may be I have 120 units from different pallets. They are single units.
So I have got two storage types: picking with units and blocks for pallets but the system does not convert units into pallets.
Obviously my customer orders units and not pallets.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Large/Small quantity stock removal vs partial stock removal.

    Hi All,
    I am trying to get following configuration in place: Stock removal A (partial pallet) with Full stock removal "Checked" and return the unused stock to storage type mentioned under "return storage type". But I am getting following error "For Compl. Stock removal or SU managed, either pick point or return to same bin). But if you see the SAP documentation it allows this configuration. My 2 storage types which I am using have SU & non-SU managed with putaway strategy as "next empty bin" as we don't know what are the weight or quantity restriction on each rack location for now.
    My second config issue is related to usage of stock removal strategy M (large/small qty). Like mentioned above I have to area; SU & non-SU managed. And I would like to use F (FIFO) strategy for non-SU managed inventory and use M for SU managed inventory with an option of checking if the quantity is higher than SU, pick the remaining small quantity from non-SU managed place. Can I acheive with different stock removal at storage type level; one with M and another with F or do I need to have M.
    Let me know if more clarity is required to provide responses.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    For 1:
    Partial picking can be done on a SU with the usage of a pick point . The pick point is a place where materials are brought and moved for a partial pick up from an SU. In the std system storage types 010 & 011 have been defined for the same.
    you may refer to the following link: Partial pick using a pick point and how you carry out with SU's invloved.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c6/f85c504afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
    For 2:
    When you want to use M  as the stock removal strategy, the following needs to be done:
    1) You define a "small" storage type where only a limited quantity can be removed. ( the control qty in the WM2 view of MM)
    2) You define a "large" storage type and this will be removing quantities above the control quantity limit
    3) Define the control quantity of all those materials that you want to be picked from the small storage type. (This could probably correspond to your SU qty, )
    you need to have the smaller storage type set as "M " and when you are customizing search strategy for the storage types ( SPRO> LE>WM--> Strategies >stock removal strategies> Define strategy for large/ small qty, you can then define the first storage type for E as smaller storage type and then the larger storage type  i.e. the second one should be higher than the preceding one.
    Please see if this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Picking issue - large/small QTY strategy

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the use of the large/small QTY picking strategy in SAP WMS:
    My customer has a warehouse with one bulk and one picking area. We are using the large/small QTY picking strategy. If an order contains > 1 pallet of the material, it will be picked from the bulk area, otherwise picking from the picking area is used.
    Now, I have the following scenario:
    My bulk area of Material A is empty;
    The picking area (Material A) contains 2 pallets.
    An order is placed for two pallets, Material A. When creating the TO, the system wants to fulfill this order with stock from the bulk area. This is correct from a large/small QTY point of view.
    However, as there is no stock available at the bulk area, the order cannot be fullfilled. Now, I would expect that the stock from the picking area is used, so that the order can be fullfilled. Unfortunately, SAP does not automatically use this available stock because it is not allowed from a picking strategy point of view.
    Of course, I would like to know if there is a solution available for this specific scenario... anyone?
    Regards,
    Oliver

    Hi,
    I've got the same problem here at my customer. Any progress to report on this matter?
    Work-around would be to change the quantity to an amount lower than the large/small quantity and split the amount in one or several step so you can pick from picking area. Result would be a transport order with several lines in the picking area.
    Any other suggestions on this?
    Regards,
    Arno

  • 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

  • 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

    For a specific storage type, I have 2 storage section defined, 001 and 100, how do I configure, irregardless of picking strategy, to go to storage section 100 first to look for the material and then storage section 001.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I had already set my storage type up in here and had storage section 100 followed by 001 and it was still going to 001 first.  The storage bin search log indicated it was using FIFO even though my picking strategy for my storage type is H - shelf life expiration.

  • VL01N does not to pick Sales order schedule line quantities

    Hi,
    I need to get Sales order schedule line quantities into VL01N when creating a Delivery document. Currently irrespective of the schedule line size quantity the existing stock quantity is picked into VL01N.
    Is there anyway to get this done? doe it require a user exit modification or cna this be done via IMG.
    Thanks & Rgds,
    Pradeep
    Edited by: PRADEEP GUNAWARDANA on Aug 1, 2009 5:06 PM

    Hi DB49,
    Thanks for responding.
    Let me clarify, the schedule line item i meant was, in my case this is an AFS scenario were we maintain size wise quantities.
    My issue being for example;
    Sales order line item 10 - Qty 1000 (sizes S - 250, M - 500, L - 250)
    Stock created in excess of this requirement, so size S - 1000, M - 1000, L - 1000 in stock
    In VL01N, when creating the DN for line item 10, it picks the Quantities in stock (which is 1000 each) ... instead of limiting it to the Sales order quantities of sizes S - 250, M - 500, L - 250.
    Hope this is clear ... please advice.
    Thanks,
    Pradeep

  • Change of Bin while confirming TO (Picking strategy FIFO)

    Dear WM experts,
    We use FIFO strategy for picking. Now for an outbound delivery we have the requirement to generate TO automatically. During confirming of the TO we should have option to change the suggested Bin (in the source storage type).
    Could you please confirm what settings in IMG should I take care of for achieving this.
    Thanks a ton.
    Kamal

    Hi,
    I'm afraid it isn't possible...
    You can set destination storage bin change for your storage type in SPRO:
    Logistics Execution ® Warehouse Management ® Master Data ®  Define Storage Type
    You can find a field called 'Dst bin ch. during confirm'...BUT SAP help says:
    'No destination bin can be entered during confirmation for
    - dynamic coordinates
    - return items
    - Lean WM (if the destination bin is defined in the movement type)
    - posting change TOs
    - inventory based on putaway
    - additions to existing stock in storage units
    - transaction Confirm single item'
    I guess you are using dynamic bins for outbound deliveries...

  • MRP planning picks up on hand decimal quantities of item.

    We purchase Yarn in Bags of a manufacturer's single lot. Primary unit of measure is bags. We issue these bags for a particular lot for knitting of fabric to a particulare knitter for outside processing. After completion of jobs for 40 kg of fabric some bags in decimal points remains. e.g. 1.3 of that particular job and lot.
    We have define subinventries for all Knitters and move order that yarn to respective knitter.
    When any other demand comes for that fabric system pick up the remaining qty of 1.3 of that lot from that knitter. If the demand of fabric can be met by 1.3 bags then we want to use it for sample fabric but for production fabric we cannot use that lot of yarn because when two differrent lots of yarn cannot be knit for quality reasons and further the next operation of dying of that fabric produces varince in colour.
    Generaly we do not want to use that 1.3 kg of yarn. We cannot exclude that subinventory of knitter from mrp by unchecking the mrp flag of subinventory becasue there are times when some fabric or yarn can be used for other job.
    Please suggest what we can do ? What change is required in item setup? or issue excess bags to job and then take return from job after completion of job to any other subinventory where mrp is not enabled?

  • 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

Maybe you are looking for
