Storage Location Mapping.

Hi SAP guru,
My client, in legacy system is maintaining the stores as WM modelu2026. (I.e. Racks and Bins), for identifying the items in the stores.
But WM is not in the scope of implementation.
He is having one big central stores and he wants to maintain as it is.
1.My suggestion is, items can be stores together for all plants (4plants)in central stores and each plant is logical storage location identified in the main stores.
For exampleu2026. Item A --- 100nos.
Plant u2013x u2026. SL-01 u2013 50nos.
Plant- y u2026 SL-05 u201320Nos.
Plant u2013Z u2026. SL-01 u2013 50nos.
Total 100Nos. stored together... GI will happened for plant and storage location.
2. But they want to approach to Bin level identification. And client is suggesting that create storage location as one bin.
If we create like thatu2026. Then no of storage location goes up to 5000+ per plant.
Is this advisable?
Please give me some ideas how to sort out this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Good suggestion will be awarded !!!!!!

Hi Anand,
Because of your business need, if you need a storage location, you can create and will not have any conflict with standard settings.
Just to give description of storage location, A storage location has the following attributes:
There may be one or more storage locations within a plant.
A storage location has a description and at least one address.
It is possible to store material data specific to a storage location.
Stocks are managed only on a quantity basis and not on a value basis at storage location level.
Physical inventories are carried out at storage location level.
A storage location can be assigned to a warehouse number in the Warehouse Management System. You can assign more than one storage location to the same warehouse number within a plant.
Storage locations are always created for a plant.
In your case, instead of creating 5000 bins as a storage locations, try to reduce the size to two digits(around 50 st.loc) based on physical dimensions and structure of the racks and bins. It requires lot of brain storming before sizing the bins to st locations.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks..

Link material to profit center at storage location level

Hello,
I have one plant 0001, two storage location assigned to this plant (MAG1, MAG2).
In " MAG1", I am keeping the consignment stock (stock blongs to my vendor), hence when I create the material at the storage location I need that profit center be set to PF1
"MAG2" is my own stock location, so when I create material at MAG2 level, I need that profit center be set as PF2.
Does standard SAP allows such scenario.
Is there any possibility to map this scenario
Many thanks for your help

Dear,
Basically GUIXT script work mainly from Technical point of view..
Here they can write codes accordinly so that if you want to make any sort of changes in the application or if you want to put some restriction parameters then by writing codes, it is very much possible to get the desired output.
Hope this clears your doubt.

Storage Location Stock transfer with value also transfered to a diff G/L Ac

Hi all,
In my scenario, I have to post a Sloc to Sloc mvt with regular 311 one step, but this does not have any FI impact. What I need is to to a transfer of storage location but also, the value of the transfered stock should me moved to a different GL account. any ideas on how to map this? I'm thinking of creating a new mvt type but not sure on how to define the FI part.
All ideas are greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
With Different GL Account I mean for example I have 10EA of material X at cost of 10 in SLoc 1000, that means my total valuated stock is $100 and the same is on GL Acc 135010
I want to do something like a "311" and move 5 EA of this material X to SLoc 2000, and the result should be
5EA in Sloc 1000 ---- GL Account 135010 $5
5EA in Sloc 2000 ---- GL Account 135020 $5
Both Storage Locations are in the Same plant
as per my knowledge G/L account determination take place at valuation class of material not storage location level
second at storage location we have physical stock only not any material valuation
material valuation will take place at plant level ,you know it.
might be split valuation will help you for different price search in forum for split valuation where we can assign different valuation class and different G/L for one material

How can I include the minimum stock of storage location in the mrp run.

Hi all,
I have in plant 1030 storage location 1001 and 1006.
MRP1 Lot Size = EX
           MRP type = PD
           Reorder Point = 5
MRP2 Safety Stock = 5
MRP4 for 1001 is not filled
MRP4 for 1006 Sloc MRP Ind = 2
                         Reorder point = 2
                         Replenishment qty = 3
If no stock and I run the mrp I get
a PurRqs for 8 with a automatic MtlRes of 3 going to storage loc 1006
If I create a reservation in 1006 for 10 units and run the MRP again
a PurRqs for 15 with a MtlRes of 10 going to storage loc 1006.
I want the result to be PurRqs for 18 with a MtlRes of 13 going to storage loc 1006.
10 for the reservation and 3 to fill storage loc 1006 with the replenishment qty.
How can I acheive this?
Best Regards!

Hello Curtins
Please observe what is stated on question 6 of FAQ note 550954, regarding storage locations planned separately:
6. Question:
    A storage location should be planned separately. Is it possible to
    consider external requirements?
    Answer:
    No. The storage location MRP is a very simple reorder point planning
    procedure, during which only reorder point and replenishment
    quantity are defined. More complex settings can be implemented via
    storage location MRP areas.
Therefore, I'd suggest you to use MRP areas to map this scenario.

Storage Location valuation level

Hello all,
We are using moving average price (MAP) at plant level valuation. We have several Storage Locations assigned to the same plant. We have several Client non-valuated goods-receipt at Storage location. That increases the quantity, but not the value. Therefore, of course those actions
changes the MAP. We are not using batches or WM module.
How can we not change the MAP without using batches? Is that possible to put a valuation level at storage location?
Can anyone help us to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance very much!
Best regards,
Pedro Grabulho.

No you do not have to change OU which is plants in your case.
1. The procedure is to activate split valaution using OMW0(zero) t-code, which is active in your case, I guess.
2. Define Global Valuation Type. You can define Storage locations here or it can be any thing else. Use T-code OMWC. (BTW, every time you add one storage location, you have to make appropriate changes here also, It is not like your storage location becomes valuation type)
3. Define Global Valuation Categories.
4. Attach Categories to OU. (OU can either be Plant or Company code, there is no 3rd option). You can atttach in one or more OU(plant)where you want it active. 3rd & 4th steps are in the same T-code OMCW.
5. Using the MM01 now extend the material to the newly created Valuation Types. (Accounting 1 view)
Thanks,

MM Transaction did not flow to PA - specific storage location with mvt 945

Dear all,
When we use movement type 945 to transfer some materials from one plant to another plant, the difference of the inventory value (due to the different standard prices in different plant) are charged to a COGS account. This COGS account has been mapped to a value field (Inventory adjustment value field) in PA transfer structure. The business transaction RMWL has been checked for "relevant to legal update" using SM30 - V_TKE_BUS_TRANS" (we are on SAP 7.1 patch level 6).
This MM/FI value flow issue only happen to the stock transfers from this specific storage location with this movement type 945.
I don't see whether or where to specify storage location in PA configuration. The plant has been added to "assign costing keys to any characteristics".
Can you please let me know what the cause might be?
Thank you so much!
Jennifer

How to add new field storage location of MM in FMDERIVE

Dear All
I want to add new field storage location in FMDERIVE as need to consume budget on the basis of storage location
Thanks in advance

Hi SAPCOFI,
With Eli and Aleksey on this thread, you dont need to worry anymore
Just to add on to the inputs....
Ensure that the USERTEMP1 buffer is cleared before a value is entered. We faced this issue wherein the previous S.Loc value was left as it is in the USERTEMP1, resulting in an incorrect assignment.
I also suspect that you might need to run the process of identifying the enhancement point and populating the S.Loc value into the memory and then to USERTEMP1 for different transactions separately. Not sure if this is the standard process, but atleast we did it that way.
For eg, we faced issues during Goods Issue from MIGO, as also during 301, 309 and 311 movement types. So execute these transactions too once the development is done and if the USERTEMP1 field isnt getting populated..
FMDERIVE TRACE was the most important tool during our tryst with S.Loc mapping into USERTEMP1....Ensure that you set it everytime during testing for this S.Loc, post development
@Experts - Please correct me wherever I've gone wrong.

Storage location custom determination in MRP both for Make that for comps

Hi experts,
i have a requirements enough difficult for me and i'm in trouble.
I try to summarize.
i have one sap plant but differents building using different warehouse and work centers. The requirements from my customers are the following:
During MRP run planned orders for make materials have to contain the receiving storage location that may be XXX if make material is used as comnponents in an other planned o production order that uses a work center mapped in the same XXX storage location ord may be YYY if is used in an other planned order/production order a work center mapped in another building/storage location.
Contemporary the issue storage location of the components present in the planned order (retrieved from BOM) have to contain a storage location that depends on the work center of retrieved routing.
Is there any BAdi or other suggestion to do this and obtain it in one run of MRP? also because once modified the issue storage location of the components this will be the input for creating properly the Purchasing Requisition item to the correct Storage location.
Last point is that this logic have to apply also in creating manually a production order or performing a "Read PP master data function" inside a production order not yet released.
Do you feel feasible a development like this?
or do you suggest a workaround?
Thank a lot
Ugo

Hi,
we do not maintain in BOM or in prod. Sloc. in material master data. The flow is a discrete production wiht SAP-PS so i noticed that supply area in work center doesn't affect the storage location determination. So i need determine with 2 different logic the receiving storage location for the assembly (based on a custom way) and then determine the storage location for the components as the same of st. location linked to supply area in work center (all materials of the bom are linked to the first operation of the routing). The sloc of the components of the bom have to determined in that way because i need that the related purchasing requisition have to be created in the correct storage location (the one of the work center in which the material is used).
Thanks a lot

How to set storage location in Nokia lumia 820 for...

Hi,
I would like to know if and how to define the storage location in my Nokia lumia 820.
I have recently purchased a micro SD card by Kingston and would like to download and install apps, like games who require more storage then my Nokia 820 supports(8GB).
I saw that the only available option set is to choose the the storage for music + videos and pictures from settings/phone storage but no option set could be found for the apps or others.
Please help me with some guidelines or with a proper workaround as I tried unsuccessfully to find the understanding for this in various resources.
Thank you for considering my request.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't install applications, Games on the SD Card. Only other thing that you may save on the SD Card is the Maps ..but you need THIS application. Need to log-in using the same credentials that you use on this forum to download it ...

Needed config settings for automatic storage location

hi,
sap gurus,
configuration settings needed for automatic storage location at sales order level.
it is coming by using OVL3 at delivery document level.
but we need it sales order level.
regards,
balaji.t

Hi Balaji,
In standard Storage location cannot be defaulted in Sales order. OVL3 is for determining the storage location in Delivery.
However to map your requirement of having Storage location determination in the Sales order do the following:
In the Plant Setting IMG> Enterprise Structure> Definition> Logistics - General> Define, copy, delete, check plant. Here select your plant and go to Address for this plant. Here in Search term 2 Maintain some alphabet say "A". Now ask your ABAPer to write a user exit for determining the Storage location if the Sales order has the same Plant used in it with search term as "A" then use table V_TVKOL (storage location determination table) and fetch the correct storage location based on Shipping Point + Plant + Storage conditions.
Hope the same works for you!!

Ajinkya

Need Inspection lot creation at only one storage location level - QA07

Hi,
I have shelf life expired material at different storage location. When ever i run QA07.System generates inspection lot for all storage location.But I want to process the inspection lot for only one storage location. Please guide me how can we map this reqmnt.
Thanks in advance for your relevent response.
Thanks & Regards
Kundan Kumar

Hi,
Next inspection date is maintained at the batch level, not at the storage location level.
You can suggest the following solutions if it is feasible in your business scenario.
Scenario 1: Batch is inwarded in one storage location"A" & stored for some time, then it is transfered to other storage loactions B & C (like production storage locations).
In this case suggest to transfer the batch to storage loactions B & C just one or two days before the actual consumption of the batch & also keep the opening period in QA07 sufficient days (between 10-15 days), so that the sytem will create the inspection lot in one storage location "A" . Since the batch is still not transfered to B & C, the system will not create inspection lots in B&C.
Scenario 2: Batch is inwarded in all the storage locations with the same batch number.
In this case suggest to inward the same bacth with different batch numbers, keeping the all other characteristic values same

Location required for stock within a storage Location

Dear All,
Can we have location concept to identify different stock location within as Storage Location. We are only using MM module and not using WM Module.
Is there a option to maintain location concept to identify stock located at different location in a storage location only in MM Module.
Regards
Vikas Sehra

Hi,
   As you know, the same can be very well mapped using WM. If you are not using WM, you may check the following option.
   If you are using same location for a material within a storage location, you can maintain the location as "storage bin" in the material master - "plant data / stor. 1" view as shown below:
   The same will be shown in MMBE:
   Please note that this storage bin is not actual storage bin, its just a text field for tracking the storage area. It doesnt have any other control.

Approval for storage location to storage location or plant to plant movemen

Hi all,
Our client's requirement is when goods transfer from the storage location to storage location with movement type 311 or plant to plant with movement type 301, untill & unless the authorised person at the receiving end approves it, the movement should not be happened?
How to map this? Any release strategy?
Thanks in advance.
SmanS

You can map the process in SAP using 2 step stock transfers.
Storage location 1 313 movement type - it will be in transit until you do receiving in the receiving storage location 2 using movement type 315
Similarly for plant to plant movement type 301 and 305.
There is no customization available in SAP to do this with the single step stock transfers that you are currently using.
Thanks and Regards,

Plant or Storage location ?

Hello Experts ,
Here is the scenario, the client i am working with has its material sent to a location in south africa which is basically a 3rd party logistic company ...which distributes the material to different places ...what will be the right way to map this org structure in SAP .Do we need to make that as plant and storage location .Cause the client also want to valuate its materials which it had sent to the 3PL company in south africa...If i am not wrong,if we need to valuate material it has to be done at plant level.......Please advise .
What are the other informations do i need to get from the client to exactly decide that as a plant or storage location ....
Regards
Albert

Hi Albert.
When you say that you will be sending the materials to a "3rd Party Logistic Company". A few questions to understand the requiremnet better.
1. Have you created this company as a customer or logistic vendor?
2. If the sales order will be used for sending the materials as reference document?.
1. What really strikes me is that this kind of situation will be beter dealt if you created the
3rd Party Logistic Company" as customer then create a consignmnet fill up sales order for sending the material. Even if the material is with the customer as consignmnet , material will be valuated at US Plant.Once "3rd Party Logistic Company" delivers the goods to distribution channel the consignment issue will take place..
2. Else you create the "3rd Party Logistic Company location" as a "Plant " and use the functionality of Stock Transport Order to transfer from "US Plant" to "SA Plant".
Hope its helps you.
Thanks ,
Tausif

Distribution center as plant or storage location

Hi Experts, If I have a distribution center at a particular location, how to decide whether it should be configured as plant or as a storage location?

It totally depends on the kind of business your company is in to and this should be decided by your company during implementation.
Ideally a DC can be mapped to a Lean Warehouse OR Full Warehouse and then the same Warehouse can be assigned witha Storage Location.
