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).

Putaway strategy for rack storage and floor

HI
we have define one warehouse room as One Storage Type. its rack storage . Storage unit
managed . in each storage bin one Su (pallet) can be placed. Some times we keep stocks (on pallets) on the floor
(Pallets in one layer). No of Pallets(SU) is defined at that floor, say 100 pallets can be placed on the floor.
we need Capacity check method = 2 (Check based on palletization accord. to SUT 1).
Which Putaway strategy should be applied for this storage type.? considering 1 bin = 1 pallet and Pallets on the floor.
thanks & regards
thomas

Hi Hein
yes, creating seperate storage type for racking and floor is a solution.
but if we want to keep it as whole room as One Storage type.
what you think about putaway strategy "P" Pallet putaway strategy. if we consider floor as speerate BIN TYPE and define BIN TYPE and SUT permitted . And Allowed SU in that BIN TYPE.
your opnion please.
thanks & best regards

Putaway strategy for mixed pallets

Hi guys,
I need your suggestion to determine the correct putaway strategy. This is the scenario: We have a rack which will stock mixed pallets (more than one material) in the same bin. We want the same behavior of the putaway strategy I u201CAddition to existing stocku201D. In order to control the capacity of the bins Iu2019ve configure the Capacity check method 4 u201CUsage check based on materialu201D and try to control the capacity by volume, however, this measure is not realistic because in a pallet exist a lot of space that will not be consume by the material (in this case, books).
Example:
1 Pallet = 1.000 CM3
1 Book = 1 CM3
Consume of material = 1
Bin capacity = 1000
In this case, de capacity check will let stock 1.000 UN of material in the bin, but the true is that one pallet could only contain 700 UN.
I try to get the consume materialu2019s amount dividing the bin capacity by the total quantity of a pallet (Consume of material = 1000 / 700) but this could only works for NOT mixed palletsu2026
A possible solution is the Pallet strategy, but I have the same error. You define the pallet quantity at material level, so I have the same problem for the mixed pallets. Can I indicate the system which materials will go together before the TO creation?
Any suggestion will be really appreciated!

[WM] Putaway strategy for bulk storage type SU-managed

Hi Gurus,
I need your help
I have a Bulk storage type with SU-managed. I would undestand the real behaviour of putaway strategy B.
1) Case 1: assume that in bulk storage type there are the followed bins (rows):
- in bin XX1 there is material AAA
- Bin XX2 is empty
In this situation if i receive material AAA, putaway strategy B chooses the bin XX1 by background processing - correct!
2) Case 2: assume that in bulk storage type there are the followed bins (rows):
- In Bin XX1 there is material AAA
- in Bin XX2 there is material AAA
- in Bin XX3 there is material AAA
In this situation if i receive material AAA, i don't undestand the behaviour of putaway strategy B. Seems that the system chooses in random way the bin (XX1, XX2 and XX3).
P.S: the storage unit type is one of default - E1.
Can you help me?
Thank very much

You told
Addn to Stock: X
Block upon placement: empty
Then How can you have Case 2?
In Bin XX1 there is material AAA
Next time also stock goes to XX1 only not XX2 unless you overwrite manually.
What does your block strage structure looks like? i'm sorry but i don't undestand your question.
Go to OMM4 "Define-Block struct." and look No. SUs for your St. bin type, SUT & Bulk stor Ind.

Putaway strategy for bin

Hi SAP Guru
I have an issue in my WMS setup.
I currently assigned Storage Type XXX for palletization. PUTAWAY STRAT : P
Mixed Storage : X
Addition to Stock : X
In the master Data setup i have input the palletization information already under SUT IP.
For Material X = 100 GM for each pallet ( IP)
For Material Y = 200 GM for each pallet ( IP)
For each storage bin i have dividied into 4 sections ( or quants )
so bascially naming convention will be like this
C11000 / 1
C11000 / 2
C11000 / 3
C11000 / 4
Now the issue is, when I create a TO for material X ( 10GM) , the system will automatically propose the bin.
The system will assign the material to bin C11000 / 1
If i create another TO for material X (5GM) different batch, the system will automatically propose the bin
The system will assign material X to bin C11000 / 2.
IF i create TO for material Y ( 10GM )
The system will assign material Y to bin C11000 / 3.
Should the system fill in C11000 / 1 before moving on to C11000 / 2 and so on?

Thanks alot , it was alot of help.
Is there a way , where I can divide the bin in to 4 pallet?
I understand you can use the capacity usage check at bin level.
It would be nice if you could comment on the logic I have with how this work.
Material X is palletized ( WM2 ) , 10000GM = IP
Material Y is palletized ( WM2) , 20000GM = IP
I have activated Cap Check for storage type XXX with 5
I have enter the LET capacity usage for SUT ( OMM1) as 1
For the bin master data, i have put the capacity usage as 4.
So bascially the effect will be, for Material X , i can putaway 40000GM of goods into this bin
Material Y can putaway 80000GM of goods into this bin
The bin can handle 20000GM of Material X and 40000GM of Material Y ( Mixed storage )
Thanks for the help !

Destination Bin change in Pick Module Replenishment scenario

Dear Experts,
We have a requirement to perform destination bin change during TO confirmation into the pick module for replenishment scenario. The requirements is as below:
System set up:
We have a storage type 001 (Replen Storage type) that has been configured with putaway strategy as 'F'. It is basically a pick module wherein we have defined one fixed bin for every SKU or Material in WM2 view and we have defined the minimum, maximum, control quantity & replenishment quantity.
Our requirement is to perform a two step confirmation for the stocks going into this pick module meaning although the fixed bin in determined during TO creation user needs flexibility to change the destination bin to a new interim bin during confirmation and then they will intern perform a bin to bin transfer from interim bin into the actual fixed bin location.
We do not want to activate standard 2 step procedure as it will impact other kind of picking process. Hence need a solution to perform destination bin change as below.
1. For Material A and Fixed Bin 001 in storage type 001, the stock level has gone below minimum quantity.
2. A transfer order is created automatically to replenish this bin from another storage type(This is standard SAP replen process).
3. The user will pick stock from the source storage type and deposit the stock into an replenishment interim bin which is also a part of the same pick module.
4. The user wants to confirm stock in interim by changing destination bin to say bin 002 in storage type 001. Although we have activated destination bin change for this storage type it is not allowing us to change bin during confirmation.
We are looking for help from experts to provide a solution for this scenario. Is activating destination bin change for fixed allowed by standard SAP? If not what are the other alternatives to achieve this functionality. Please refer the attached document for details.
Best Regards,
Harish

Hi Harish
How is the replenishment triggered..are you using LP21,LP22 or LP24...IF YOU use any of these standard SAP TCode, first the system creates TR and the bin gets fixed in the TR itself. Even by having destination bin changeable at the time of confirmation will have no effect and will continue to remain grey.
I had a similar requirement in one of the projects.Placement strategy was next empty bin and since fixed bin was maintained in material master , system was always defaulting fixed bin in TR. When TR was converted to TO, the same bin got carried over
to avoid this we used user exit EXIT_RLLNACH4_004 to prevent defaulting of bin in TR. TR was created without destination bin. When TR is converted to TO, system can find the bin based on the strategy maintained. This works very well and we have used it successfully

Putaway strategy 'Q' Dynamic quant

Hi,
We have an issue with the internal movement of stock from a storage type that does not allow partial quantity picking.
Scenario: The Putaway strategy for the St type has been configured as 'Q' and picking strategy as 'F'. The available stock in the bin/quant is say 1000 Boxes. I have created a transfer order to pick only 600 boxes. when i confirm the transfer order system is confirming the full 1000 boxes rather than picking only partial qty. Full stock removal has not been activated for this St type in config.
We would like to know if this is something to do with the st type with Q config(like does Q allows picking of complete quant only?).
if anyone has faced this issue earlier would be great to get some hints.
Thanks,
Harish

For our movement type over deliveries are allowed. Below is my observation:
1. when we transfer stock from bulk storage type system allowing us to confirm part pallet using mvt type say 9**.
2. when we transfer stock from dynamic quant number then system does not allow us to confirm part pallet but confirms full pallet only and this is using the same mvt type 9**.
we are using same movement type for transfer of stock from both these storage type onto a staging area which is a interim location but system is behaving differently for these two scenarios.
I am not sure if standard SAP has made dynamic quant storage type to allow withdrawal of full pallet only and needs help if someone has faced similar issue.

Harish

Putaway Strategy I: addition to existing stock

Hi,
I've set the storage type search sequence C01 as follows:
1st storage type: H01: (putaway strategy: I, mixed storage; addition to existing stock; capacity check method: 4)
2nd storage type: J01: (putaway storage type: C: open storage)
But the problem is, when I perform GR, there's enough space in the bins under storage type H01, but the system suggests me to put the material to open storage J01. What's the problem?
Thanks.

Hi Csaba,
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Yes, "mixed storage" are not suggested to be activated according to the SAP help document.
But the fact is, no system warning or error message occurred when I activate "mixed storage" for the storage type H01 with putaway "I".
Current requirement is, I want the system search storage bin by the following sequence:
1. sequence 1
   Firstly, search the storage bin that contains same material
2. sequence 2
   if above search failed, then search another non-empty storage bin    <--- No performed by the system
3. sequence 3
if both above failed, then search empty bin.
4. sequence 4
   search storage bin in other storage type according to the storage type search sequence
But the problem is, by the putaway strategy I, the systme does NOT perform sequence 2, i.e. search other non-empty storage bin under the storage type H01 (the putaway strategy for H01 is I, and I activated "mixed storage" for it) .
The big proglem is, if I select the putaway strategy as I: additin to existing stock, the system only
look for the bin with same material or empty bin; the system does not look for the bins contain other
materials even though the bins are big enough to store the material.
So what's the problem? If I don't use putaway strategy I, is there any other putaway strategy meet my requirements?
Kindly please advise again.
Regards

Putaway strategy problem

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement relevant to putaway:,
My client is using all pallets just joining them together in the warehouse and material placed on mixed basis. when ever the
material comes they find the empty space through out the warehouse and it will be placed. there is no pallet capacity and
no markings, many pallets has joined together from one place to another place and they consider it as one bin. I have to define
a putaway strategy for the same.
If I use SUT strategy, there is no material specificity per bin and the qtty as per them, in bin many material will come with different shipping dimensions.
Please give a suggestion for the same. your help will greatly appreciated.
Thx in advance.
Regards
Raghu

Hi
You can try put away strategy B or C
B is block storage and you can specify how many pallets can fit in and even how high you can stack them
C is ope storage for which you can place as many pallets as you want
I hope that this helps

AutoTOs for replenishing fixed bins

Hello Experts,
I have a need to create auto TOs for replenishing fixed bins.If I am correct for auto TOs,i dont need to run LP21.
I have defined a custom WM movement type for 319.In the custom movement type I have defined source storage type and destination storagetype and selected Auto TO in background.
I have defined replenishment control for storage type-- entered the movement type and selected repleishment method '1'.
I have also defined the search sequense as putaway to be directed to fixed bin storage type from other storage types.
For some reason when , Its not creating the Automatic transfer orders.
Please advise..

Hi,
I think, you are missing "A" indicator at the movement type level and at the storage type level. Please check.
Thanks

Replenishment of fixed bins for batch managed materials.

WM - Replenishment of Fixed Bins. Batch selection and full pallet selection
My issue is as follows: I am performing the replenishment of fixed bin based on SD deliveries. Stock is batch managed and batch selection is based on the shortest expiry date. If there is both a partial and full pallet of a particular batch of a material in the source warehouse, the full pallet will always be proposed in the TO, before the partial pallet. Is there a way of forcing the selection of a partial pallet before the full pallet?

Removal of material based on quantities could be driven by using picking strategy 'M'. This is closest option that I could think of that matches your requirement. If this does not meet your requirements then you may have use a custom picking strategy via exit MWMTO004.

Addn to stock flag for putaway strategy not working

Hi
It seems that the flag Addn to stock for putaway strategy in the storage type 103 configuration is not working fine as the quantities of the same material with the same batch sent to the same stype 103, and destination bin are not being added. So by running stock report in WM we see several lines with partial quantities instead of only one line with the total quantity in place. Do anybody know how can that be solved? Or what can be the route cause of the issue? Is there any OSS known applicable to fix the problem?
Thx for your help

Hi Guys
Unfortunately I do not think that you will get an answer now. Either your question is not simple or we do not know.
So in the interest of keeping the Forum tidy and easier to surf through could you please close your thread and wither try one of the other forums or try another post. I do not think that mosy people will bother to look this far back anymore.
Sorry I cannot help as I would if I could.

Hi Alba,
Please check the WM views in MM.
I've checked:
(SAP help pushing F1 when the cursor is set on this thick box)
<i>Indicator: Allow addition to existing stock
Indicator determining whether a material with particular characteristics may be added to existing stock of the same material with the same characteristics in one storage bin.

Putaway strategy K: near picking bin

Hi guys,
I am experimenting putaway strategy K with 2 storage types, fixed bins & reserve. In my setup when capacity check is enabled in fixed storage type and no capacity left, the system searches for another bin from reserve and it works fine.
However my requirement would be that system would switch to reserve bins right away if fixed storage bin is NOT empty. Standard customization does not allow to disable "addition to existing stock" in case of putaway strategy is F - fixed bins.
Any advice how to achieve this in standard system or is the user exit needed?

Hello,
Put away strategy K (Near Picking Bin) is used for materials that is being is frequently picked, as it is appropriate to store the material close to picking area.
In this strategy system will try to place the material in fixed bin, if not the system will try a reserve bin, the baseline is system will do placement in a bin which is closest to picking area using configured search.
You can define this in transaction OMLA.
The screen will shows six possible configurations selections;
>Put away strategy activation
>Storage type control definition
>Search per level definition
>Row ans shelf assignment
>Storage bin generation
>Consistency checks
Also in IMG >>Logistics Execution>>Warehouse Management>>Strategies>>Put away strategies>>Define strategy for Near Picking Bin
For respective warehouse and storage type, it is genuinely to leave the configuration with only 'K' in stock placement control and this will surely perform put away in reserve bin as expected and required by you, without searching for the fixed bin or carrying out a search for a relevant bin.

Using ID Point for Repacking - no putaway strategy allowed

Hi All,
I have a business requirement to have an ID Point servicing inventory that is putaway to one specific storage type. HUM is active and when the goods are received at 902 they are potentially packed on a pallet. The pallet is moved to the ID point where it is unpacked and then put away.
The systems allows configuration of only one repacking area per warehouse number where you can assign a fixed bin.
Unfortunately the business do not want this activity happening at the normal repacking area (923) which is also used for other things so must remain configured.
In order to perform repacking at the ID Point I must have no putaway strategy assigned to the storage type. Without the putaway strategy. how can I get the system to select a bin - any bin will do, either a fixed bin, a dynamic coordinate, it doesn't matter.
I have a backup solution which to create a special movement indicator, new mvt type and enter the destination bin in the movement type, however I'm looking for something a little "nicer".
Regards,
Busaboy.

Dear Karthik
You are right, I did activated Indicator: Activate Storage Unit Type Check for Stock Placement in SPRO->LE->WM->Master Data->Define Storage Type
The Indicator: Storage type with storage unit management was also ticked automatically by system when I selected Indicator: Activate Storaget Unit Type Check for Stock Placement.
Are you trying to say the ID Port defined in Storage Type will have higher priority over the Storage Type value I maintained in the Storage Type Search Table?
I have already maintained the Storage Bin and I still do not understand why system still go for ID port. As far as I know, system will suggest the Storage Type from ID Port ONLY if storage bin in this storage type as their destination are not maintained in first in the other setting.
Quoted from SAP HELP
Identification point for storage type
Identification point (storage type) of the current storage type.
All goods movements that do not have a specific storage bin in this storage type as their destination are first directed to the identification point.
Here the goods are identified and a transfer order is generated for the actual transfer of the goods into the storage type concerned.
Please help.
