Storage Unit & Storage Bin

Dear All,
How to make that one storage bin can have serveral storage unit?
Such as we want one storage bin can contain three pallets.
regards
Gang

Hi,
There is no restriction on using any no. of storage unit types for a storage bin. Storage unit types are defined at warehouse level. The path is Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Material -> Define Storage unit types.
You can define any no. of SUT for a warehouse. Now these SUTs are assigned to materials in material master WM view 2. And materials are linked to bins. SO, whatever materails you have for a bin the SUTs for those materials are all valid for that bin...
Hope this is of some help for you..

Storage bin type and storage unit type.

Hi,
Can anyone explain what is the differnce between the staorage bin type which is maintaine for storage bins and the storage unit type which is maintained in material master.
Can any one correct me that My material storage unit type is maintained in TT and the storage bin for put awayis maintained in PC (storage bin type).
is this the right way to be adapted.
Sunil

Hi,
THe storage unit type is a description of how the material is stroed in the storage bin.
Some bins may not able to allow a full pallet due to height restrictions,but a half-pallet may fit.so warehouse can define a storage unit type that defines a half-pallet and qty of the material that can fit on that half-pallet.
Configuration menu path:IMG-logistics Execution-Warehouse Management-master data-material-define storage unit type.
where as storage bin is the lowest level of storage defined in the warehouse.

Storage unit types and storage bin types - Need

Hi,
i want to know what is the use of the storage unit type and storage bin type.
thanks,
Maxx

Dear Maxx,

Storage Bin:
A storage type generally contains several storage spaces or slots. These are called storage bins in Warehouse Management (WM). The storage bin is the smallest available unit of space in a warehouse. The storage bin therefore describes the position in the warehouse where the goods are or can be stored.
Since the address of a storage bin is frequently derived from a coordinate system, a storage bin is often referred to as a coordinate. The coordinate 01-02-03 for example, can refer to a storage bin in row 1, stack 2, and level 3.
You assign each storage bin to a specific warehouse number and storage type according to its location. You must also assign each storage bin to a storage section.
You can also define the following additional characteristics of a storage bin:
Maximum weight
Total capacity
Fire containment section
Storage bin type (for example, for small or large pallets)
With certain stock placement strategies, the storage bin type plays a significant role in optimizing the automatic search for a storage bin in connection with the pallet type. For example, you can define the WM putaway strategy to place large industrial pallets into a specific large bin type and smaller pallets into small bins.
Storage Unit:
In the system, a storage unit record consists of a header and at least one material data record (quant data record).
The header contains information which is relevant for the entire storage unit and includes the:
Storage unit number
Storage unit type (SUT) of the storage unit
Storage bin in which the storage unit is currently located
Status, which provides current information about the storage unit
Specific information about the stock contained in a storage unit is found in the material data record. The material record is already familiar to you in the existing system as a quant data record. For SU management, this information can be managed at the storage unit level.
The following graphics illustrate how WM handles storage bins with and without the use of storage unit management. For these examples, storage bins are displayed in which 200 boxes of red pencils and 50 boxes of blue pencils are stored. The stock is distributed on two pallets.
Hope this will help.

Assigning storage bin type to storage unit type

Hello guys,
I would like to know the purpose of assigning the storage bin type to storage unit type in the storage bin type search table.
Thanks,
Maxx

Hello Maxx,
First let's understand what is the meaning of "Storage unit type"
Storage unit type is type of pallet i.e. big pallet, small pallet, industrial pallets etc so all this pallets have standard sizes.
Now let's understand what is the meaning of "Storage Bin type"
Storage bin type the classification of storage bin according to their characteristic /size i.e. 1 meter bin, 2 meter bin , 4x2 bin etc
Now if you have requirement that 1 meter bin should allow only small pallets not big pallet becuase it can not be fit in 1 meter bin so you can restrict this by assigning storage bin type to storage unit type.
Hope this will help you to understand the concept for assigning Storage bin type to SU type.

Storage bin Capacity utilization is greater than 100%

Hi,
Via LS03N, I can found that some capacity utilization is greater than 100%, this must be incorrect, what's the reason? is there any report to update the capacity utilization for storage bin?
Kindly please advise.
Thanks

For the capacity checks, the remaining capacities or the used weight in the storage bin master data are updated with every putaway or picking. If you change the inspection method in the current operations or you change capacity or weight data of materials or storage unit types, you then need to make a comparison of the data. You can make this comparison with report RLS10200. First read the documentation before you start the report.

More than one Quant in a Storage bin section (Strategy P)

Dear all,
We have a Storage type with Putaway strategy P, the SUT check active but no SU Management active, Mixed storage = X and Addition to stock = X.
For this Storage type, our Storage bin type and SUT we have set up in customizing a Bin sectioning 3 meaning the Storage bin is divided into 3 sections so a maximum of 3 Quants per Storage bin. Note that other Bin sectionings have also been set up.
During testing I found out a Storage bin section can only contain one Quant at a time.
Because of Addition to stock = X we can add more quantities of the same Material/Batch to a Storage bin secion that already contains stock of this particular Material/Batch.
If I try to add a Material/Batch to a Storage bin section that already contains stock of another Material/Batch (so, a different Quant), the system gives me an error:
Bin item X in storage bin Y already occupied
Message no. L3063
Now physically for the mentioned SUT our Storage bin is divided into 3 Storage bin sections/pallet places and on a pallet it should be allowed to put multiple Materials/Batches at a time, that is why we set Mixed storage = X in customizing.
Now we can only put one Quant (so one Material/Batch) in a Storage bin section at a time;
We want to be able to put more Quants into a Storage bin section at a time.
How can we achieve this?
Note we rather donu2019t want to use Storage Unit Management.
Thanks for any clues!
Kind regards,
Bart

Hi Bart,
As a thumb rule you cannot have one quant with multiple Materials. Ofcourse you can keep on adding same material /batch is the same quant i.e. in the same Bin section where you already put the material.
Quick win for your case is Increase the number of quants allowed say 15. In this case you can keep on storing different material / batches on the same pallet but system will keep on generating sections.
At any point of time you can easily track how many quants (Mat + quantity) are stored in that Bin & relevant section.
For strategy P , SUT check must be activated you cannot skip it.
If Business is not ready to work with more number of sections , you can always think of mapping another startegy ..you could do more test with Bulk Storage.
To my knowledge Strategy I i.e. Addition to existing stock with Mixed storage Indicator will work very well here.
You just need to map appropriate Capacity check as startegy I goes with active capacity.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Create the stock in storage bin level

Hai all
     while i am doing transfer of order it is asking that storage unit type and the material stock is not maintained in storage bin .
can anybody tell me how to maintain the stock in bin level .please help me is there any tcode for that

With certain stock placement strategies, the storage bin type plays a significant role in optimizing the automatic search for a storage bin in connection with the pallet type. For example, you can define the WM putaway strategy to place large industrial pallets into a specific large bin type and smaller pallets into small bins.
<i><b>For information on how to define storage bins, call up the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Warehouse Management and see under Master Data --> Storage Bins .</b></i>
Generally speaking, you can use any combination of letters and numbers for a storage bin coordinate with the exception of certain alphanumeric characters that are used for stock placement strategy P (according to pallet or storage unit type).
When goods are placed into storage, the system selects coordinates in ascending order according to specific sort criteria, and assigns the next available storage bin based on the coordinate structure you define for creating bins.

Blocking Storage Bin

Hi experts,
I have question about following situation.
I storage goods in more than one storage bin. My storage strategy find storage bin automaticly. If the first storage bin full, strategy find second storage bin. I want that, system block the first storage bin automaticly till the first storage bin will be empty. System doesnt allow add new goods that quant.
how can i do that?
Thank your support.

Hi Manish,
I explain what i need with example;
I have 2 storage bin for my material. All this bin's capacity is 5 pcs. Now first good issue with PO about 5 pcs. this material putaway first bin. then other good issue 3 pcs. This material putaway 2nd bin. Then i remove material 3 pcs in 1st bin. As a result, i have 2 pcs material 1st bin and 3 pcs material seceond bin. My capacity is 3 pcs 1st bin and 2pcs 2nd bin.
Now, if there is good issue same material, system doesn't allow putaway this materials to 1st bin. System block this 1st bin automaticlly. This block is automatically deleted after the last storage unit has been removed from stock (picked from the row).
By the way, am i need batch management to implement this strategy for this material?
Thanks for advice..

INterim storage bin to unrestricted stock movemnet

Dear All,
I have a problem in warehouse management
Step 1 After the GR(65000 units) my system will automatically create a TR and TO to the quality inspection .
Step 2 will clear the inspection lot by giving a Usage decision through the T.code QA32 to move the stock from quality to unrestricted stock
step 3 But the stock will not be going to the unrestricted area instead it is going to the intrim storage type 922 TR-Zone.
Step 4 If i see in the LS26 i am able to see the stock for put away as 65000 units and pick quantity as 65000 units and the stock type as quality
So the stock is still in quality, if i see the PO also it is showing that the stock is in quality
How can i move this out of the interim storage bin
I am pretty new to WM kindly advice me how to go about this ,
Regards,
D vasanth

A PCN must have got created. Go to LU04, mtype 321, enter your material. It will display the PCN if any exists.
Select the PCN and create Transfer Order and confirm the TO

Storage Bin Type Search

This question relates to teh storage bin type search.
When a storage bin type is assigned to a number of different storage unit types, when the systen is trying to putaway a material, does it assign preferentially according to how storage unit types are listed in this table or when finding the next empty bin, does it simply check this table to make sure that the storage bin type is compatible with the storage unit type. For example, if the storage unit type is a half pallet and the next empty bin can hold both a full pallet and a half pallet, will the system try and find a half pallet space or will it simply place the SU into the full pallet space.

Hi,
It will work like this in the material master palletization data you will assign the Storage unit type and in OMM1 you will assign the storage unit type to the storage bin type (search criteria).
So if you have HP, then in the storage type it is next empty bin it fin the FP and then HP, system will place it in the HP only.
thanks,
JK

Move stock between storage bin

Hello,
We have some materials created in the past and are created in dummy storage bin.
Now we need to move this materials to the correct storage bin. How can I do move X units from a storage bin to other storage bin. Create a TR between storages bin??
Other question, how can I create manually with GR, a material in a storage bin, I mean how can associate a material to a storage bin.
Thanks

As per your statement I understand you are facing problem while TO creation through LT10. It seems you are getting destination bins which are blocked.
Storage bins get blocked if there is an open inventory document.If you are looking for a specific bin which is blocked then clear the relevant inventory document. Also it is possible that due to some reason supervisor blocks specific bin ,you can see it in LS06 & unblock it.
Hope this help you.

Putaway Block in Storage Bin for any specific Material Code

Hi Experts,
We have a problem, we have allowed mix storage, addition to stock in the storage type, our requirement is this, that we want to block one bin aa-01-01 for some specific material code xxxxx, but we want to allow putaway other material codes to that bin.
How can we achieve this. Can we use LS07 or some other solution. Please suggest at the earliest.
Regards
Ishu

Hi,
In standard system, you can block one specific bin for the specific material with Putaway strategy "Fixed bin" by maintaining this bin in material master. It is unclear that you set "allowed mix storage" and again required material specific putaway in bin.
You can change "Mixed storage" indicator to blank. Which explains "___" Mixed storage is not allowed
All storage units in a storage bin must contain the same material and batch (one quant).
If you don't want to change any of current setting you'll need to use the user exit and maintain custom table where you can maintain specific bin for the material for the warehouse. After determination of the bin to putaway in the standard code you can check if it is conflicting to the entry in your custom table.
Hope this'll help.

Storage bin not found (enter storage type) L3398

Hi,
We have an very critical issue. We have gone live on 14th , only one day before. Now our system is showing the message
"Storage bin not found (enter storage type) L3398.""
We have defined Open storage type in our system where , mix storage is allowed. There are 10 bins in this storage type. There is not capacity check for these bins. Now system is not searching bin from Open storage and we have stucked with TO creation. System is not allowing us to created any TO.
KIndly do the help
I will be very thankful if reply fast.
Regards,
Manish I

Hi MANISH,
Though there exists many storage bins , the system is not able to find these bins because proper storage unit type is not defined.
System identifies the destination based on the following criteria :
Activate Storage Type Search
Activate Storage Section Search
Activate Storage Bin Type Search
Go through the below customising for better understanding :
SPROLogistics ExecutionWarehouse Management--Strategies
Maintain the Warehouse Management 2 view of Material master with Palletization data .

How change Storage bin search logic in WM ?

Hi All,
Standard process to find bin during putaway in WM is as follow :
First find storage type, then storage section and finally storage bin type.
Is it possible to change slightly this logic as follow :
Find storage type first, then with first storage bin type find a bin in storage section sequence, if not found try to found with second storage bin type within storage section sequence and so on.
It's a kind of mix bewtween storage bin type search and storage section search.
Thanks for advice !
Patrice

OK, so you want it to check all storage sections for available bin type "A" and only then loop back around and check for bin type "B" from the first storage section again.
Storage bin type check is relative to the allowed Storage unit types per bin based on my understanding. During put away the system will check the allowed SUT in sequence based on your entries in your storage bin type search so it would loop within first storage section until it sees no available bin type that fits the allowed bin types (sequential) and only check second storage section (again sequential) when none of the allowed bin types are found available, so if I understand the available config options what you want is not possible without customization....check exit MWMTO003 - Customer-defined putaway strategy to create your own strategy
