SAP WM: Mixed pallet with putaway strategy "P"

Dear Experts,
I am using putaway strategy P for a storage type and I have given X for Mixed storage field.
I am not able to put multiple batches of same material in one bin, is it possible with putaway strategy P
I am not using SU management.
Thanks in advance,
Amit Kumar

This is from a WM colleague:
First it will always look at same bin as a material is stored
with put away strategy “I”.
This scenario is completely wrong, if I understand it right.
He/she needs to look at the bin strategy for the SU types
defined in the LE qty. / SUT types for bin type.
Strategy “I” is for addition to stock like they said.
Capacity check 2 only works if it is SUT active, which they say it is
not. Not the check flag, but the SUT.
The strategy for SUT type allowed to bin type only works if it
is SUT managed, which they say it is not.
The strategy just doesn’t seem right. If they do not use
SU’s, the only capacity check that works is max from the material master (WM-1
view) weight “1”.
The bin type / SUT strategy will not work unless they are using
SUT’s for storage. Not just the LE qty. in the SUT defined.
If they aren’t using SUTs for storage, it is only a quant.
Noting is configurable for strategy of quant to storage bin type.

LT10 "Immediate confirmation" of TO with Putaway strategy "C" Doesn't Work

Hi ,
We have WM with HU implemented for a Plant/ Sloc Combination.In Warehouse we have multiple storage types.
Putaway strategy "C' (Open storage) is implemented with SU in one of the storage type of warehouse.
If we try to make internal movement within this storage type using LT10 with option "Immediate Confirmation" (of TO) , it doesn't work and we have to use LT12 to confirm transfer order seperately.
This is happening only if we are opting QUANT VIEW in LT10.If we use STORAGE UNIT view in LT10 and transfer the material with IMMEDIATE confrimation , TO gets confirmed immediately.
Further , functionality of "Immediate confrimation" works perfectly if we use storage type with other put-away strategy like "NEXT EMPTY BIN"
Need your immediate help on this
Regards
Sandeep Marwha

Hi Sandeep,
In open storage , you have only one bin per storage section. You are also having SU. So quant view will not work, thats why Storage unit view is working. Moreover, please check if mixed storage is enabled. If not then it will not allow multiple SU to accomodate. Thats where the Next empty bin will work.
Thanks,
Mono

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!
Sebas

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 I, not allowing second material with different batch

Hi all,
Can someone please help me to understand where is the problem
My config is
Strg Typ 401
Putaway Strategy I
Capacity check - 4
Mixed storage: X
Addition to existing stock: X
Storage section check -active
Storage bin created for the storage section in the storage type 401
Maximum capacity maintained in Storage bin
In material master WM view 1- maintained capacity.
When system is correctly finding Bin for First material / Batch combination
But when I am trying to create TO for same material with different batch it does not find storage bin - even the storage bin capacity is still remaining
Also it is not accepting second material in same bin.
The only requirement to have startegy I is that same materials can be placed in same Bins (sorry but dont need fixed bin)
Thanks

Hi Hiren,
You are correct I forgot to mention that in my earlier reply. Actually with out storage unit you can store only one quant in a Bin. So it can add stock to the same quant if we use addition to existing sock feature. If the material batch combination changes it cannot use the same quant, so it wont be able to add the stock to existing quant. If a new quant is to be stored in the same BIN it has to be storage unit managed. To in nutshell multi material multi batch your scenario can be achieved with storage unit managed storage type.
For storage unit setup you can refer below link.

Pallet putaway strategy question

Dear all,
I am new in the pallet putaway strategy and need your experience advise if you have done this.
Question.
1 - To use the pallet putaway strategy (i.e. P), do I need to configure the Storage Bin Type search (i.e. spro > logistics execution > wm > strategies > activate storage bin type search)?? Is it compulsory?
2 - To use the pallet putaway strategy, the storage type MUST BE a SUT-managed and that the "SUT check activate" checkbox MUST Checked, am I correct?
thanks
Tuff

Hi,
the storage bin type search and the storage unit type check more or less is the same. You have to define storage unit types, storage bin types, assign which SUT goes into which SBT. Well, and then you activate the check.
You need to do this for the pallet strategy. You do NOT need to activate the storage unit management in a storage type with the pallet strategy.
Best regards

SAP WM Putaway strategy - Next empty bin

Hello,
I am testing putaway strategy - L - Next empty bin.
I' ve created 902 - Storage type:
Also i've been activated storage type search and storage section search:
Then i've added this data to material master:
And i also defined movement type- 101 for purchase orders:
Also, special for this, i've created the empty bin:
But when i am trying to post goods receipt in MIGO, i am getting the following error:
Storage bin Z02 does not exist (check your entry)
Message no. L9009
Could you please advise - what is wrong - why i can't post the goods receipt in MIGO?
Thank you in advance.

Hello, Jürgen
That's the settings for standard 101 wm mvmt type:
That's setting for my 101 wm mvmt type:
Difference - that i don't want to use dynamic storage bins.
And i still have this error:
Storage bin Z02 902 does not exist (check your entry)
Message no. L9009
Now system defines also storage type, because of i wrote it in the mvmt type, but i still can't understand, why it doesn't find storage bin, according the strategy.
I think, that i 've made all necessary customizing settings and i also have one empty storage bin on this storage type and storage section.

Managing Wire Spools as a different SU in a pallet while putaway

Hi All,
We are implementing SAP WM for one of our customer and we are facing difficulty in mapping the below business scenario in SAP. The scenario is.
1. Putaway for GR:
When they receive wires/cables of a same material in multiple spools with different or same length from the vendor they consolidate all the spools in a GR area and placed in a standard pallet to putaway to the IM location.
Example: 48 Spools (Each 1000 feet) placed in a Standard pallet (48u201D height)
Question u2013 how do we define a palletization data on this scenario and create a 48 different SU labels for each spools (Because we are considering each spool is a separate Storage unit). We have defined a separate Storage type for handling the wires and cables and this is not bulk storage.
The reason we are creating a separate SUu2019s because they do partial picking and based on the requirement we are matching the exact fit or best fit strategy to pick the right SU.
Thanks in advance.
- Praveen

Hi,
How do you want to do with these spools at the end ?
If you want to sort out these spools and datas containing in these spools to make a single .xls or .pdf, i have a solution.
However if you want to merge these spools in a single spool staying in SAP i couldn't help you.
So if i can help you, please to inform me what do you want to do exactly.

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

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.

WM and Open storage putaway strategy

Hi,
the following link gives an explanation about Open storage putaway strategy
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/c6/f844694afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Strategy C: Open Storage
Use
The system uses this putaway strategy to find the storage bin in an open storage section. Open storage is a type of warehouse organization in which you define a single storage bin for a storage section. The quants in the storage bin can also be in the form of mixed storage.
I think that in this strategy is also possible to define more than a single storage bin for a storage section.....or not?
So why the statement: you define a single storage bin for a storage section.
Best regards

I cannot tell you why it is explained in this way, even the German explanation does not give any hint.
Open storage putaway strategy is the most used in my implementations and I can confirm that you can have hundreds of bins in one storage section.

Putaway Strategy P - Managing different SU types

Hi gurus,
I'm experiencing the following problem.
Using the putaway strategy Pallet, the system processes different storage unit types and allocates them to the appropriate section, but only the same storage unit types can be placed into a storage bin at one time.
My need is to place at the same time different SU types into a storage bin. Is it possible?
Thank for your help!
Francesca

Hi
The storage unit is compatible with the current block when the 'maximum
storage units' which can be stored in the bin are the same. The
'maximum storage units' depends on the storage unit type of the first
storage unit you put it the bin. If the values of T337B-MAXLE are
different then the system will not allow the placement. This is the
is the standard behaviour.
Field LAGP-MAXLE indicates the maximum number of Storage Units that are
allowed to be placed into a bin and this is set during the first
placement into an empty bin in accordance with the block stucture
definition in transaction OMM4.
This does not mean that it is not possible to place different Storage
Unit Types in to the bin. This is possible but only when the block
structure definition in OMM4 has an identical value for the maximum
number of storage units in the block (T337B-MAXLE). If one has a value
of 20 and the other has a value of 10 then the system correctly issues
error L3 425.

Ramana

Bulk Putaway Strategy

Hi,
I have a query relating to the determination of bins for my bulk putaway strategy.
On my bulk storage type I am using putaway strategy B (Bulk Storage) and mixed storage indicator C (several batches per bin only SU bulk storage)
Having generated a putaway the system successfully denotes next empty bin until capacity as per the block structure under OMM4 is full. So far so good however it does not then allocate the remainder of the putaway to a bin where the same product is house although a different batch. (ie the error message below appears)
System message L3 009
No destination storage bin to be found in storage type 004
However i can manually denote a bin where there is already the same material but with a different batch. The system then allows this entry.
Does anybody understd why the system would not automatically select this bin which should be ok?
Any ideas appreciated.
many thanks,
Adam.

Must be a slow start to the year...too many Xmas ales...
Solution: Set Level of Total Quant Count to 1
Level of Total Quant Count
The Total field is used for internal calculation of the total quant count for SU-managed bulk storage. This parameter influences both stock placements and stock removals.
Stock Placement
For putaways this parameter controls whether the system will automatically mix batches or not. If the parameter is set to "1" (batch neutral), the system looks for a storage bin where the material already exists. The batch number is not taken into consideration in this case. If the parameter is set to "2" (batch specific), the system looks for a storage bin where the batch of the material already exists and attempts to add the new stock to the existing stock. If that isnu2019t possible, the system looks for an empty storage bin.

U0093Addn to stocku0094 for putaway strategy u0093 u0093 in storage type 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 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
