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.

Wm strategy L--Next Empty Bin

Hi Gurus,
I have some basic question ,
1.L-Next Empty Bin:- As we already defines the search strategy for the storage type & structure of the bin with its way of deciding the bin. Why it is require to define it as a separate strategy(Assiged to st type?)
i.e
for e.g i defined strategy P- Storage unit type if the system found the bin is not empty the system will automatically find the next empty bin ?
2.About LIFO & FIFO is it enough if i specify it in material master? If i do not specify which one is considered by system?
3.The use of Stringent FIFO is to skip the st type from search strategy which is defined for all st type *** is it right?

Hi dev,
Dont confuse the Storage type search strategy with putaway & picking strategy. Both are different.
Storage type strategy - This is used to find out a suitable storage type for putaway as well as picking based on the order which you have mentioned (Automatic Storage type search).
Putway & Picking Strategy - This we have to define in the storage type settings. The strategy which we define here has a major role in Bin Determination.
Next Empty Bin - If you assign this strategy system will determine an empty bin every time you place material into stock.
P - Storage unit type - This is purely based on the settings which you define for the storage unit type & sections. ( it will place the material into a bin even it has stock in it based on the SUT)
As the name suggests FIFO & LIFO strategy are used while removing stock from wareouse & system will determine the bin for Stock removal based on the FIFO & LIFO criteria whichever is mentioned in the storage type.
Stringent FIFO - For this we will define ' *** ' (blank) in the auto storage type search table & based on this system will remove stock from the oldest quant in the warehouse.
Hope this answers your queries.

User Exit for Stock Placement for Next Empty Bin Strategy

Hi Techi's
I have got one requirment for stock placement in Warehouse Managment as below:
If client uses the standared strategy for putting stock in Storage Bin as "Addition to Stock" Then the self life of the coming material is being replaced by the existing material's seft life.
And if they use the "Next Empty Bin" strategy then the obove issue is not coming but system always searches for the full empty bin only thus wastage of the existing bin's which already has some space.
Now what my client wants is that to use the "Next Empty Bin Strategy" so that self life is not being overwritten but along with system should not search the complete empty bin for placing the stock rather it should search the bin's which already has some space then later move to the empty bin's.
In summary its a mixture of "Addition to Stock and Next Empty Bin" Strategy.
Please suggest me the Exit for this if available or tell me the code if already has implemented it. Friends its going very hot.
Please please help me.
Thanks in Advance.

Putaway strategy based on nearest empty bin

Gurus
In my storage type there are different bins, how is it possible for me to have the system propose a nearest empty bin for a putaway location, nearest empty need not be the next empty bin strategy, what considerations i should take during bin creation, how can this be linked to the sort sequence,need a clean explanation of this issue.

Hi
You can use sort variable function to map nearer to your requirement, called as Cross-line stock putaway.
Cross-Line Stock Putaway
In this function, a sort variable helps the system to search for suitable storage bins. With the sort variable, you can eliminate the problems caused by one-sided loading in the warehouse and optimize the stock putaway process in your warehouse. If the sort variable has not been defined, the system sorts using the storage bin coordinate itself
With the putaway strategies L (next storage bin) and P (storage unit type), you can influence the search for a suitable storage bin with the help of a sort variable. This method can also be set up for storage types with putaway strategies L (Addition to existing stock) or B (Bulk storage), since if the system does not find a bin for adding to existing stock, it will use sort variables to find an empty storage bin.

Putaway Strategy - Not going to next bin

If I have a Putaway Strategy of Next Empty Bin and my bins have a set capacity of 1.000 KG (Maximum weight of 1.000 KG), then I receive and try to putaway a total of 10.000 KG, the system is allocating the whole 10.000 KG in one bin. Shouldn't it put away in 10 bins? The strange thing is that for the same material in other Plants, the process is fine, SAP splits the quantity correctly among the bins. AND for other materials in current plant it does work fine either.
We double checked the Material Master for the material/current plant against material/other plant (WM1, WM2, and further views). Everything looks the same.
We also double checked the MMaster for current material/plant against other material/current plant and there's no difference at all.
Could anybody help out?
Best Regards,
Rodrigo

The Capacity Check Method is empty, but things are working for other materials, SAP splits the total quantitity according to the weight capacity of 1.000KG for each bin.
I'm wondering if there's another configuration that leads to the same result.
ABs,
Rodrigo

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

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.

Putaway strategy user exit

Hi all,
My storage type putaway strategy user exit is active for storage type. Can anybody tell me which user exit it is?

Hi
Can you please explain me whether we can create our own put away strategy based on the MRP(Maximum Retail Price) of a material.?
>it means same material having different MRP should not get merged into a single bin.
I cannot use it at batch level because my batch characters are on monthly basis.E.X. 200812,200901,200902.
>it always happens that different batches will quite often have same MRP.So if i use at batch level then i loose lot of space in my WH because it keeps booking the fresh GR into to next empty bin
>but i dont want to store them into separate bins as i loose space in my WH.
>Instead i want to store the materials having same MRP (belonging to either same batch or different batch) in a same bin and different MRP into different bins irrespective of batches.!!
>can i develop a put away strategy satisfying this requirement.??
thanks in advance for your response on this.

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.

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.

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

[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.

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
