Storage Location Determination rule

Hi Gurus
Please i want to add a new storage location determination rule (ZALA) to the existing MALA, RETA & MARE. I'll appreciate if you can give me the menu path.
Many thanks, Felix

Hello Felix,
Please refer to SAP Note 124041 regarding the user exit for storage location. The function EXIT_SAPLV02V_002 is called by the function SD_STORAGE_LOCATION_DETERMINE.
Userexit EXIT_SAPLV02V_002 should always be called under the following
conditions:
a) there is no storage location present in the preceeding document
b) the delivery item is in creation (not change)
c) the rule for the for the storage location determination is not a
standard one (transaction OVLQ).
In addition I would also suggest you to go through SAP Note 396480.
Hope this helps.

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

Shipping point at storage location level in ME2O

hi Guys,
I am using stock transport orders at storage location level, and it works fine, we have a customizing point to configure shipping point at storage location level.
My doubt is if we can use also shipping point det. at storage location level for creating Deliveries for Subcontracting process in ME2O.
It works only If I customize the shipping point det. at plant level, not considering the customizing at storage location level.
kind regards
Brian

Dear Ram,
Can you please specify the configuration that you have made? And which storage location determination rule are you using for your Delivery Type?

Valuation at Storage Location Level

Dear Experts ,
We need to transfer Stock from Storage Location to another Storage Location. MVT 311
The problem is that we want the system to create Financial Document during this step, And as we know valuation is on Company Code or Plant Level .
So What help us to execute this is it profit center or Business Area or what ?
Please Advice

Hi,
Try this,
You can follw this following process for Stock Transfer between Depots (locations):
Material should exist in both the plants (Delivering & Ordering),
Internal customer should be assigned to the ordering plant ( MM -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Setup stock transport order -> assign the internal customer to the ordering plant and assign the Sales area of the internal customer)
T-code : OMGN
Assign its Sales area to the delivering plant
Assign the document type and Delivery type NB and NLCC
Assign the Supplying plant --> Receiving Plant --> NB
Take the delivering plant and assign the sales area.
Vendor master has to be created and assign the supply source ( Delivering Plant).
Create a purchase order ME21N (Purchasing Document type UB)---> Save
Delivery - VL10 B ---> Calculation rule (appropriate) --> Assign the purchase order number here and execute.
Select the Delivery creation line and do the back ground process.
Start the log display and see the delivery document number by the documents button
Go to VL02N --> do picking and PGI --> Then do the MIGO with respect to the delivery document.
Subsequently yopu can also issue stock transfer Invoice (which is treated as Proforma Invoice & not posted in accounts) for records or to be given with vehicle.
Hope this helps...

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.

BADI for storage location restriction in IW32

Dear All,
I am working on one scenario in this user has to get the error message :-
1. Whenever he doesn't enter the Storage Location in Component Tab (in IW32) and also he should not be able to save the Maintenance Order.
2. There is ZTABLE (ZTPM058) , if there is no entry of the Storage location in the ZTABLE then also he should get the error.
I have used the BADI BADI_DI_PCS2_1 to do this but the problem is when the user enter the component manually then it works fine , but when he selects the component from List button (it is in the bottom of the component tab screen) , then this BADI doesn't work correctly.
Basically when the user selects component from List then it should first put data into the component tab and then give the error . but this is not happening.
Please suggest what can be done.
Below is the code that I have written :-
l_ucomm = sy-ucomm.
if diad_resbd-MENGE is not INITIAL.
SELECT SINGLE ingpr         "Plant Section
                lgort         "Storage Location

Dear Rajesh Kumar Raju
Go to IMG-->Logistics Execution >Shipping> Picking -->Determine Picking Location -->Define Rules for Picking Location Determination. There you have to assign the MALA rule to your delivery type
Also maintain in OMJ8 and in material master under MRP2 view the default storage location in the field "Prod. stor. location"

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 determination at Sales Order

Dear All,
Could we storage location determine at sales order level ?
As per my requirement. Stock is available a particular plant example below
Plant
Storage Loc
Stock Available
Batch
1305
1300
10
1000190
1305
1300
10
1000890
Got order from customer is 15 Quantities and the sale order is confirmed because stock is available but at the time of delivery storage location is determined on the particular material so batch is picked automatically on base quantity other other is showing open. So could u plz give me solution for storage location determination on sales order level.
Thank You!

Storage Location Naming Convention without WM!

Dear all
We are facing serious problem in our Storage Location for Raw Material.
We have 4 types of Raw Material Seating (S), Panel (P), Metal (M), Wood (W). And they are all stored under Storage Location: RWSL.
Requirement:
Although we have visual guideline as to which industrial rack will store the type of Material, it is insufficient. We need a more refined storage location down to which BIN of the rack we will put the Raw Material.
Due to limited time and resource, we cannot have WM implemented right now. Thus, we have come out with 2 alternative to overcome this problem:
Alternative 01:
We will use the Fixed Bin field in Storage Data 02 by putting the Bin number assigned to each Rack.
E.g. For Seating material code:SEAT01, we will maintain the Fixed Bin as R12A01/A02, it means this Seating material SEAT01 will be stored at Rack 12, fixed bin A01 or A02.
Question to Alternative 01: Will it cause problem in GR, GR, Transfer Posting and Stock Count?
Alternative 02:
Instead of going into details to put Fixed Bin field in Storage Data 2, we will abandan the existing Storage Location RMSL by introducing new format for Storage Location
Here is the example of Alternative 02:
For raw materials, we will use 4 digits location numbers, consistent with other Storage locations, the 4 digits storage location will start with u201CR _ _ _u201D to represent each location
And,
R _ _ _ is:
R = Raw materials
2nd digit = Division (S= Seating, P =Panel, W=Wood, M=Metal and W=Wood)
3rd digit = Rack Number (A, B, C, Du2026 and etc.)
4th digit = Rack Zone - each rack will broken down into zone, each rack can possibility have 2 to 3 zone. 1 Zone can be 1 colume of the Rack
An example of a possible location and its meaning will be
RSA1 = Raw materials warehouse, Seating division, Rack A, Zone 1
RPB3 = Raw materials warehouse, Panel Division, Rack B, Zone 3
The challenge of this is that instead of having 1 Raw Material Storage Location like RMSL, we will have a lot more storage locations each for division of Raw material due to the Rack Number we have as well as the Rack Zone.
Question to Alternative 02:
If we use this alternative, will it impact our future implementation of WM? From design wise, is it feasible?
Please advise what is the best approach and the feasible design on it.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, here is the Pro and Co of both approaches:
Method 01: Use existing SLOC and add the Storage Bin info
e.g. SLOC: STM1
         Storage Bin: RSC3, where RS = Rack Seating, C3 = column 3
Pro 01:
It will cause less effort as we only need to use LSMW for material master to add in the Storage Bin data for all material of SCM.
Pro 02:
I have tested out that in TCode MIGO, apart from SLOC, the pertaining Storage Bin data also appear. Based on my discuss with Xian Chen, sometimes they use MB1C(GR), MB1A(GI) rather than MIGO due to speed issue, I will need to check the field status if can have Storage Bin field APPEAR, if can, it will solve the problem
Con 01:
The Storage Bin information will only appear in MMBE (Stock Overview) but will not appear in the standard SAP Inventory Report (e.g. MB52 Warehouse Stock). To view it from SAP Inventory Report, we may need to customize the standard report to show the new field Storage Bin. It needs Abap effort.
Con 02:
We must have a very good naming convention for Storage Bin. And again, in the above example, if a material is put in SLOC STM1 at Storage Bin RA A1 or C4, it will set a very rigid rule in the future if we need to change it, as I fear that one the Storage Bin has been used up. It will not allow us to change (need to do testing to find out)
Con 03:
Do we have the time to define all the Storage Bin for each SLOC? Operation wise, the store personnel needs to design it
Method 02: Use the new SLOC
Pro 01:
RSA1 = Raw materials warehouse, Seating division, Rack A, Zone 1. More organized. Easy to tell the material is at which Rack and which Zone of the Rack.
Assumption:
01. we must not have too many rack for one Seating division and also not too many Zone for each
      Division, else it will cause confusion
02. 1 material should stick to 1 Rack 1 zone as much as possible, else later the PP consultant will
     have hard to to perform GI due to too many SLOC assigned to a material.
Pro 02:
In report wise, we are able to show the SLOC in inventory report. No need to enhance the existing inventory report as we do not use Storage Bin.
Con 01:
If there are too many SLOC creation due to it. It may cause problem for PP perform GI as too many selection available for a material. This can be avoided if stick to the General Rule that one material is tied with one SLOC.

How to change the storage location in Lightroom 3.6.?

How to change the storage location in Lightroom 3.6.?
I use my internal hard drive NTFS of my MacBook Pro as my storage location of Lightroom 3.6. being installed in Snow Leopard now but the data of my photos get too big now. I have two fast and big external hard drives eSATA now which I want to use for my data/photos. I know how to copy the data from one hard drive to another but I don't know how to change the settings in connection with Lightroom easily. I still want to watch all fotos on my MacBook Pro but don't want to save any fotos on my internal harddrive any more. Isn't it possible to have the programm Lightroom on my internal harddrive but the data on two times on two different extermal hard drives? If I look at Lightroom - settings of catalogue - I see that the internal harddrive location is my storage location now but I my two external harddrives don't appear as folders. Why? How to change that so that the external hard drives appear in Lightroom and I can watch all my fotos immediately (sometimes using external hard drive 1 and sometimes using external hard drive 2)?
My external hard drives are in HFS+ but I use the software of Paragon so that there shouldn't be any problem to read and write the data (I use also Final Cut Express so my external hard drives are HFS+ and not NTFS).
I want to impert many data from CDs - should I copy the fotos first to my external hard drive and then import it into Lightroom or is it easier to import the data directly from the CD in Lightroom so that I don't have to name the folders two times?
I see that I have to sort the fotos from the CDs in new different folders and an used to do that in Finder of my MacBookPro. In Lightroom I don't want have to click each of hundreds of fotos to be able to put it into the right folders ... But how to import only a part of a CDs quickly into the right (newly created) folders?
Kind regards, Karin

Would you really leave the names of photos like DSC05271.ARW and DSC05271.jpeg etc.?
What if I name them f.i. like ...
2013-09-11_Austria_1_mountain.jpeg
2013-09-11_Austria_2_mountain.jpeg
2013-09-11_Austria_3_valley.jpeg
I would NOT do this. I would not change the file name.
I would add keywords and other metadata to the photos to identify the content of the photos, and from that point on, I would use keywords and other metdata to search for these photos.
However, let's look at the big picture. I think there are three different methods of organizing
Organize via keywords and other metadata, and not via operating system constructs such as file name and folder name
Organize via operating system constructs such as file name and folder name, and not via keywords and other metadata
Some combination of 1 and 2
You can choose any one of the three methods above, the choice is yours. I am a very strong believer that for most people (and it sounds like you are one of those people), method 1 is the best method. However, not everyone agrees.
There are drawbacks to using file names to identify your photos. One big drawback is that you must type the information into each photo's name, and this is more tedious than if you wanted to assign the keyword "mountain" to the photos, you can assign the keyword to multiple photos at once. Also, if you mis-spell the information in the file name on any photo, you have just made the photo much harder to find; whereas in Lightroom, the keyword can be assigned via a mouse click (so you can't mis-spell it), or by typing the first few letters and Lightroom (auto-fill) will find the correct keyword name. So using keywords is a much simpler way to go.
.. is this much too complicated to do that in Lightroom or even dangerous to got lost of photos?
It is very simple to add keywords, as I explained for this case. Create keywords "Austria", "Mountain", "Valley"; then select the desired photos, and then click on the check box next to the keyword name. It is much more complicated in my opinion to rename the photos in this manner.
There is less danger in doing this via keywords than the danger doing this via file names, because of potential mis-spellings.
If I spend a lot of time in editing photos (in Lightroom or Photoshop) I don't want that I loose those photos f.i. later if Lightroom won't be the software I use regarding the photos (in 10, 20 years?!)
Lightroom will OPTIONALLY write your keywords and other metadata to the files (or sidecar files in the case of RAW). Every photographic application I know of (and I'm sure those in the future) can read the keywords and other metadata. So if you ever want to switch to some other software, your keywords and other metadata are available. you can turn this option on via Edit->Catalog Settings->Metadata, check Automatically Write Changes to XMP.
So I have to create two folders - one with the originals and one with the edited exported photos?
No, you do not have to create two folders. You don't have to export everything, but if you do, you can put the exports wherever you want, including putting them in the same folder as the originals, with different name.
Why not edit them in Photoshop and save them in the second folder which I import later in Lightroom? Because it takes longer?
Wow, you really need to think about: Why are you using Lightroom?
Could you explain this to me? Why are you using Lightroom?
If your goal is to edit the photos in Photoshop, and then put them in folders with whatever custom name you want to give them, then what is the benefit of using Lightroom? You can do all of this WITHOUT Lightroom. You keep explaining that your intended goal is to use Photoshop and folders/file names, and this is a goal which AVOIDs all benefits of Lightroom. I can't understand what you think the benefits of using Lightroom are for you.
It is starting to sound to me like Lightroom is not the right software for you.
Some people want to see a movie on their TV and are able to watch a DVD (not all!). Flickr seems to be a solution for movies in a big size (many GBs) to share them with friends (?)
You haven't mentioned this before, and you should check the rules on Flickr regarding how long a video you can upload.

Transfer of stock between two storage locations within a plant in two steps

Hi,
We have a plant 6400 & we have two storage locations 6401 & 6402. Each storage location belongs to a department which are located at some distance from one another.
The material to be moved from one storage location to another using a truck.
For the above mentioned process can we have the following process
(1) In first posting the material is issue from the storage location to a transit
(2) In second posting the material from the transit is received into the storage location
I am looking for a feature that is possible between two plants, can we have a similar feature available within a plant.
Warm regards,
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
It would be a business decision i suppose. If those 5 nos. are lost / damaged in transit & needs to be scrapped, then the ownership needs to be decided first. If it lies with the sender, then reverse the 5 nos. (MB1B mvt is 314) & then proceed with your scrapping or if it lies with the receiver then receive the 5 nos & then proceed with the scrapping.
Posting in system is one aspect, but a clear business rule is the key factor. So discuss with your materials mgmt personnel to define the process flow.
Hope the above helps.
Regards,
Vivek

The system does not get Storage Location of the material from the Contract

Hi to all,
We are encountering a problem now regarding the PR to PO conversion. Our ABAPer has made a background job for the User to convert a PR to PO using ME59N.
Background Job : ZPTI_MM_PR_PO_CON
Program : RM06BB30
Tcode: ME59N
Variant : SAMPLE2_ME59N ( Plant, Vendor, POrg, Pgrp.)
Rule : When the PO is converted the STORAGE LOCATION of the material should be gotten from a CONTRACT/AGREEMENT instead of the SLoc defaulted in PR.
Problem: When the backround job is finished, the PO is converted but the STORAGE LOCATION did not get from the CONTRACT.
Steps done :
1. Create a Contract (ME31K)
    1.1 Specify the SLOC of the material
2. Create PR (ME51N) and enter the Contract Number inside the PR
    note : In the PR the material has a Storage Location which defaults from the Material Master.
3. Run SM36 and enter the job ZPTI_MM_PR_PO_CON
4. Set the job to "Immediately"
5. Click Steps icon and enter the program RM06BB30 and variant SAMPLE2_ME59N
6. Save
7. Go to SM37 and check the job if finished.
8. When the job is finished, check the PR if it has a PO.
9. Display the PO.
10. Check if the storage location in PO has gotten from the Contract
     The problem now appeared.
We have tried to use ME59N alone and not using the background job. The system has gotten the correct Storage Location, thus it got from the Contract.
Please help what should be checked on our side. Our ABaper is also currently debugging the program but we
are seeking help to fasten the solution.
Best Regards,
Elynne

Hi Elynne,
Definitively, it is a problem with ME59N background process.
It is better if you can create a message to SAP asking for the solution.
I only found the next SAP note:
Note 1287723 - ME59N in backgound does not populate PR details in PO.
But, I do not know if it will help to resolve your issue.
I hope this little information can help you in anyway.

How to determine a cost center based on a storage location

Hi all,
During material movement or stocked purchase, I need to determine different cost center by storage location. Therefore, i can't use OKB9 because the plant criteria is not enough.
Is there any user-exit or another solution i can implement to solve this problem?
Thank you for your answers.

Hi
As i said earlier, you can use MSEG itself in your substitution rule.
For Ex:
Pre- requisite
BKPF-BUKRS = 'XXXX' AND BKPF-AWTYP = 'MKPF' (and anyother criteria that needs to be applied)
Substitute
Field - Material (MATNR)
is substituted by "EXIT"
Create your own exit here & give your logic like
If MSEG-LGORT = '0001'(your storage location values)
then BSEG-KOSTL = 'CCTR1'.
Let me know if you need any further details.
Thanks
Kalyan
