Storage location question

Hi, All,
Do I need to maintain storage location for materials in material master data?
Which view or which functionality must maintain storage location in the material master data? Is it mandatory?
If I donu2019t maintain storage location, just plant. When I create purchase order, I donu2019t put storage location, but do goods receipt, I must input storage location, right? Can I put any storage location which belongs to that procurement plant, is it ok?
Another question is about Is there any T-code or way to check which plant, which storage location maintaing in the specific material?
Thanks in advance,

Do I need to maintain storage location for materials in material master data?
not neccessary but depends on the requirement of you rbussiness.
Which view or which functionality must maintain storage location in the material master data? Is it mandatory?
No it is not plant/storage loc 1 and 2 view
If I donu2019t maintain storage location, just plant. When I create purchase order, I donu2019t put storage location, but do goods receipt, I must input storage location, right? Can I put any storage location which belongs to that procurement plant, is it ok?
Yes you can put any belongs to the same plant but if in the config the create storage location automatiocally is configure than you can do that (transction OMB3)
Another question is about Is there any T-code or way to check which plant, which storage location maintaing in the specific material?
Yes, you can check MMSC OR in detail view
go to transction SE16 or SE16N and enter the table MARD
now enter you mateiral and you can view all the available plant and Sloc
you can write query also using this table

Storage Locations Question

Hi - Can you please confirm that we can have storage locations in different countries? I was thinking it may not be possible as there could be some tax implications. Is it possible if it is all in EU or any where?

Hi
As per Tax determination Rules
1. Country & Region of the Delivery Plant
2.Country & Region of the Ship to party
3. Tax classification of Customer (Ship to Party Master)
4. Tax classification of Material(material master)
Storage location Assigned under the Plant
If storage location assigned in different plant, Tax Determination also Redermine. plant is same for both storage location as per rules same tax will applicable.
I hope it will help.
Thanks & Regards

Stock transfer between Plant/Storage location to Plant/Storage location

Dear Experts,
This is a MM component of SAP Retail.
We have 4 brands ( Plants of type B, Plants of type C etc) that needs inventory from the same Distribution center (Plant A) for some common products. Here the direction is to prioritize the inventory per brand. The requirement is one brand should not take the inventory of the other brand.
To overcome this problem , the solution proposed is to have different storage location for different brands in the same DC.
When we run replenishment planning for the brands and do a ATP check, the availability check should consider only the one issuing storage location in the DC which we allocated for the brand.
I do see the following set up in SPRO and I have done the following.
Step1: Activate Stock Transfer between Storage Locations SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations-> u2018Activate Stock transfer between storage locationsu2019
Step2: Assign Delivery Type and checking rule according to storage
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations->Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage
Step3: Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfer between Storage Locations
SPRO ->Material Management ->Purchasing ->Purchase Order ->set up stock transport order ->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers between Storage Locations 
Step4: Define Rule for Determination off Shipping Point SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Set-up Storage-Location u2013dependent shipping point determination->Define rule for determination of shipping point
Step5: Shipping Point Assignment According to Storage Location
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations-> Set-up Storage-Location u2013dependent shipping point determination-> Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location
Question.No:1- After completing the above set up in me21n, the issuing storage location field is greyed out. I am not able to enter any value here. Can you please help.
Question.No:2
I do see the following setting.
Under IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set up Stock Transport Order -->Business Add-In for Determination of Issuing Storage Location
Display the IMPLEMENTATION
Double click on the method GET_SUPPLYING_SL
Click the Execute button
Click the detail button on IF_EX_MD_EXT_SUP
Execute GET_SUPPLYING_SL
There is a prerequisite for this BADI .I have done those things.What i dont understand is where to force the combination of supplying site/issuing stor.loc/receiving site/receiving stor.loc
Kindly provide your inputs.
Thanks,
Vasanthan

Dear,
Have You configure MRP in second plant (where you want to transport the Material).
Please try with this and do again Po for stock transport.

Question on Storage Location reference

Dear Experts,
Right now, we are in the process of making use of Storage Location reference functionality in WM.
We understand that we can configure different WM movement types for similar IM goods movement for different storage locations within a warehouse using the Storage Location reference functionality. Also, we can determine different storage types for each storage locations as we can also use this in Storage Type Search Sequence.
Can you please help us illustrate this functionality with 1 real life scenario for each of the above functions?
We expect 1 example/practical scenario where we can use storage location ref. for WM mtype determination and storage type search
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shetty

Hi Shetty,
This is an Integration with IM.
One Warehouse can be madeavailable to multiple sloc & plants (even belongs to diff co ocde).
Now by entring a particular storage location refernce in storage type search startegy , you are defining sequence against a particular storage type. This is influenced by relevant IM posting.
Remember to do active SLR is access optimisation when you configure this.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Question about storage location

Hi :
Some storage location have no backflush functionality and some have,that is to say, when confirming production order via co11n, some component failed to goods issue automatically since the storage location assigning to it has no backflush functionality even we had set backflush for this material in material master data, where/how to configure it?

Hi,
Better you mark the component backflushing indicator in the Routing of the material instead of the material master.
Also maintain the storage location in the material master in MRP 2 view & work scheduling as applicable.
Note, these setting will work only for future orders.
for current orders, enter the storage location in CO02 & for missing parts in COGI.
Regards
Sandeep.

Stock on posting date -storage location and batch wise

Dear All
I need to developa report exactly same as MB5B but with storage location and batch wise.
We need storage location wise opening stock, total receipts, total issues and closing stock, and values for given time period.
I have gone through some history tables like MCHBH and MBEWH.
But all the history tables are having fileds for period wise but not date wise.
Any focus on this?

You have to read the coding of MB5B to see how SAP is doing it.
The stock per date is calculated, starting from a month end, adding or reducing quantities based on movements until the date in question is reached.

Storage Location level ATP check with CRM

Hi:
I am on an implemenation where the integration is between CRM, EWM and GATP. So, consider the situation where the sales order check is done through CRM and a call to GATP is made.
Some background on supply
EWM would like to receive the goods into storage location ROD (Received On Dock) and then do a movement type to move it to storage location AFS (Available For Sale). The sales orders should consider only the supply from storage location AFS and not ROD.
First question is, is it possible to do a storage location level determination in CRM? I don't think so but wanted to confirm. The reason is because even a plant determination is not possible in CRM when you integrate with GATP (the plant is determined through Rules).
Now, suppose that we have determined the storage location called AFS (in gATP through enhancement) and will do an ATP only at that level in GATP. Suppose that the first plant that will be checked is Plant A and then based on the location determination procedure, the next plant that will be checked is Plant B. When the system checks supply at Plant B, then the question is this: will it still check only at storage location AFS in Plant B or will it check at the plant level? The requirement will be to check at the same storage location level (which means that whatever process we used to determine the storage location at Plant A has to be followed for Plant B also).
One option that can be considered is to check at the Storage Location MRP Area level (there seems to be better support for RBA and Storage Location MRP Area than just storage location). See SAP Note 412314. But this is also complicated.
Another option is to not check at the storage location level but represent the various stocks with stock types (stock type ROD and stock type AFS) and only the stock type AFS will be used in the list of ATP categories.
Please share any experience that you may have in this.
Thanks,

Hi Satish,
In my project also we had this requirement to determine the correct Storage location after plant has been determined by using rules.
What we did is as follows:
- We created a Z table which had entries for all plants and preferred storage locations for those plant (only one entry per plant) in your case it will be like:
Plant A - AFC
Plant B - AFC
Plant C - AFC
- We used a ATP user exit in APO to get the storage location of source plant ( which was determined in APO via rules) from the Z table.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Anupam

Batch Determination at Storage location Level

Dear All,
I have one question on batches when I am entering stock against batches in Outbound Delivery Note (as batch split ) the batch determining the storage location is different not the one which it belongs to, I need the batch stock should be determine in same storage location not the different one.
For example: I have 5 storage locations, each storage location contain 5 to 6 batches;
Storage Location: WO1, WO2, WO3, W04 AND WO5
Batches: A1,B1,C1,D1,E1 etc.
Stor. Loc    Batches
1. W01:             B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6
2. W02:             A1, A2, A3, A4, A5
3. W03:             C1, C2, C3, C4, C5
4. W04:             D1, D2 D3, D4, D5
5. W05:             E1, E2, E3, E4, E5
I. If I enter B1 and stock 10kg then it automatically determining storage location as W02. Actually it belongs to storage location W01 it should be the same W01only
II. If I enter C1 and stock some 15kg then also it automatically determining storage location as W02. Actually it belongs to storage location W03 it should be the same W03.
Kindly give me the solution.
Thanks in advance

MRP at storage location level with external requirements

HI,
We have to have reorder point planning at storage location level. Also we need to consider external requirements.
When I am setting storage location MRP indicator as 2 and putting Reorder point and replenishment quantity, then after running MRP it only considers the replenishment quantity but it doesnot consideer any external requirements.
Help me out how to configure the requirement?
Regards
Sukant

Hi,
I think your question is answered by Sarita Doddi.
If you have several storage location for your plant, you cannot plan for them separately unless you assign them to a separate MRP area.
If a storage location (alone) is assigned to an MRP area, it means you wan to plan for it separately. If several storage locations are assigned to an MRP area (or let's say to a plant), it means you want to plan using all of them - and you cannot choose only one and plan for it (you can exclude a SLoc from planning w/o assigning it to MRP area).
So, planning is not SLoc wise, it goes MRP area wise.

Quantity not updating in storage location

Dear one and all,
For a Sales order and Delivery order , System has not reduced the entire qty from a storage location after making the invoice. System reduced only part qty. The balance qty is still remaining in the storage location.
Plz guide what all needs to be checked.
Thanks & regards

Dear GSL & Lakshmipati,
Thanks for ur responses.
One last question -
I have an order wherein there are some physical items:
- they are not value/text/service items
- item cat/sch line cat automatically determined
- sch line cat is relevant for deliv but not for MRP (no movement type defined) in customization
- there Goods Movement Status is showing as complete (C) in Delivery
- there doc flow is showing as "confirmation of service"
- all the items are completely delivered & invoiced
- no batch split is occuring
How will you keep track of such items (in storage loc.)? Why would you have such items?
Thanks & regards
Sharad

Storage location determination.

Hi,
I have one plant. and two stroage locations.In sto.loc 1 the total quantity is 100 and in sto.loc2 the total quantity is 50. so total quantity in the plant is 150.
While iam creating the sales order for 120 quantity the system is confirming the quantity. While doing the delivery the system automatically picks the sto.loc2 and shows delivery quantity as 50.
my question is why it is showing the Sto.loc2 instead of sto.loc1.
please give me the reason.
regards,
vas.v.s.

Hi,
Storage location in Delivey is either Determine from MRP2 View Prod strorage location field ( If there is no Rule assign to delivry type for determining storage location )
Generally if u go to Delivery type u will see a field name Rule to determine storage location for EG MALA ( This rule determine storage location as Shipping point + Plant = Storage location)
If this rule is there then it will take preceedence over Material master .
To see this rule and assignmnet
Goto ->spro -> Logistic execution ->picking ->Detemine picking location .
Hope this clarifies a bit

Storage Location Control and ATP

Hello Experts,
I have activated the storage location control for the putaway process and is working fine for MM and WM perspective. The following are happening without any problem:
1. Doing a GR to the virtual Storage Location and this storage location is blank in TR.
2. The stock from the virtual storage location is considered in MRP while planning.
3. TO creation from TR and doing putaway in real storage bin and Transfer posting 311 at IM level.
The requirement is: The stock from the virtual storage location should not be considered in the ATP while creating a sales order. At the moment, ATP is considering this stock as available and confirming to a date immediately but in reality it should not up until the putaway is complete. And I think this is the sole purpose of having Storage Location Control in place.
I did my research in this fourm and looked at the Warehouse Management Guide and it says "This means that for the duration of the putaway process, the stock for putaway is either not visible at all or clearly visible as stock that can not be picked, depending on the configuration of the availability check."
Can someone help me understand what to check or uncheck in ATP? Or should I post this question in the ERP-SD forum?
Appreciate you help.
Regards
Narottam

Hi,
I believe your mistake is here:
"800 K15 0800 8001 411 check box is checked "
The combination should read
800 902 0800 8001
The storage type is the interim storage type, that is where the posting shall happen. And if you leave out the check box it happens automatically.
But why movement type 411? This usually should be 311.
Best regards
Juergen
