Storage Section Settings

Question

Hi Gurus
I put in the customizing of storage type Addition to stock "M" and in the material master I mark the flag for addition to stock this does not work as spected, when I receive a PO with 2 materials on it, they go to 902, then I try to process the posting change notice but I get error no destination storage bin could be found in storage type XXX
These 2 materials have the same storage section, and I have correctly defined a strategy to place accordingly this storage section,
The current putaway is L next empty bin, and if I change to "I" addn to stock then system allows the putaway but just for one materials automatically, with the second one I still get the error but If I manually type the bin of the storage section then It allows putaway too.
Can you explain what needs to be done to allow putaway of stock in a storage type wich is divided into 3 storage sections, 2 of them are assigned to two bins each (2X2=4bins), and the last storage section is linked only to one bin. (Total of 5 bins)
The rare thing here is that in the first 2 storage section that have 2 bins each, I can put material on it only one palled on each bin, if for some reason only half pallet is placed, then no more stock can be placed there, How to check this capacities?
And for last the strategy is that system tries to putaway first in storage section 1, if no empty bin then try in sto section 2, and if no empty bin there, then it should go to storage section 3 (wich has only one bin attached) but I want to make this bin like infinite capacity so if there is no room in the first two storage sections (4 bins) then it will go to the las storage section wich can allow addition to stock and mix storage.
Please your inputs will be really appreciated on what atrategy and capacity cetting need to be done on customizing and material master of material to achieve this.
Regards

Answer 1

Julio,
Better late than never...Here are the other capacity check methods:
Check 2:
=======
o  SUT check must be active - if not, then config for SUT assignments to ST will not be used
o  For the material no specific capacity data needs to be entered
o  For the bin no specific capacity data needs to be entered
o  Example:
             u2022     Material:          1234
             u2022     Liters per CAS:     4.800
             u2022     ST/Bin:          112/112-01-01
             u2022     Max Bin Weight:     1,500Kg
             u2022     Total Capacity:     3,000
             u2022     Stock to be placed (Weight):     907.200L = 2,721.600Kg (1L = 3Kg)
             u2022     Transaction SUT:     T1
             u2022     Allowed SUT for ST:     C1
o  The system stops the transaction for the transaction SUT is not valid according the SUT allowed per Storage Type configuration. Message: Storage Unit Type is not allowed for ST112.
Check 3:
========
o  The material must be created for the specific ST (WM2 masterdata view) and the maximum bin qty needs to be speicfied.
o  For the bin no specific capacity data needs to be entered
o  Example:
            u2022     Material:          3344
            u2022     Liters per CAS:     4.800
            u2022     ST/Bin:          113/113-01-01
            u2022     Max Bin Weight:     1,500Kg
            u2022     Max Bin Qty:                           750L
            u2022     Total Capacity:     0
            u2022     Stock to be placed (Weight):     768L = 2,304.000Kg (1L = 3.000Kg)
o  The following checks were done:
            u2022     Bin Quantity Check
            u2022     The maximum bin qty was set to 750L (Base UoM)
            u2022     The quantity of the product to be placed was 768L ( = 2,304.000Kg). This qty is more than the maximum bin quantity which is 750L (Base UoM), so according to the quantity the product may not be placed in the bin. Message: Maximum qty for storage bin 113-01-01 will be exceeded by 3.750CAS.
o  Note from the above that the error message is expressed on the putaway quantity and not the capacity quantity.
o  Note: No weight and volume checks are done (see the weight of transaction > bin maximum weight)
Check 5:
========
o  Additional config: SPRO  Logistics Execution  Warehouse Management  Master Data  Material  Define Storage Unit Types - Specify the capacity for the SUT
o  For the material no specific capacity data needs to be entered
o  For the bin the Total Capacity field must be filled 
o  Example:
            u2022     Material:          5678
            u2022     Liters per CAS:     4.800
            u2022       ST/Bin:          114/114-01-01
            u2022     Max Bin Weight:     1,500Kg
            u2022     Total Bin Capacity:     3.000
            u2022     Total SUT Capacity:     5.000
            u2022     Stock to be placed (Weight):     907.200L = 2,721.600Kg (1L = 3.000Kg)
o  The following checks were done:
            u2022     Capacity Check according to SUT Capacity:
            u2022     The capacity of the SUT used is 5.000
            u2022     The capacity limit for the bin is 3.000
            u2022     The error message is displayed stating that the placement capacity is more than the allowed (maximum) capacity:
5.000- 3.000 = 2.000 (Message: Storage Unit Type C1 exceeds remaining capacity by 2.000)
o  Note that no check according weight was done. The transaction weight was 2,721.600kg vs the maximum bin weight of 1,500.000kg
o  Note from the above that the error message is expressed on the putaway quantity (SUT capacity used) and not the capacity quantity.
Check 6:
========
o  Additional config: SPRO  Logistics Execution  Warehouse Management  Master Data  Material  Define Storage Unit Types - Specify the capacity for the SUT
o  For the material enter a capacity value (WM1 view)
o  For the bin enter a capacity value
o  Example:
             u2022     Material:          1007
             u2022     Liters per CAS:     4.800
             u2022     ST/Bin:          115/115-01-01
             u2022     Max Bin Weight:     1,500Kg
             u2022     Material Capacity per BUoM:     1.000
             u2022     Total Bin Capacity:     800.000
             u2022     Total SUT Capacity:     5.000
             u2022     Stock to be placed (Capacity):     907.200L + 5.000 = 912.200
             u2022     Stock to be placed (Weight):     907.200L = 2,721.600Kg (1L = 3.000Kg)
The following checks were done:
             u2022     Capacity Check according to SUT Capacity:
             u2022     The capacity of the SUT used is 5.000
             u2022     The capacity limit for the bin is 800.000
             u2022     The error message is displayed stating that the placement capacity is more than the allowed (maximum) capacity: 912.200 - 800.000 = 112.2000 (112.200 / 4.800 = 23.375CAS). Message: Maximum qty for storage bin 115-01-01 will be exceeded by 23.375CAS.
o  Note that no check according weight was done. The transaction weight was 2,721.600kg vs the maximum bin weight of 1,500.000kg.
o  Note from the above that the error message is expressed on the putaway quantity (SUT capacity used) and not the capacity quantity.

There you go (I hope I've got all the detail down).
