Why do we need Interim Storage Type ?

Why do we need Interim Storage Type ? If you say it's acting as an intermediatary buffer location... Then why don't we need any Interim Storage for Bin to Bin stock movement??
Any pointers will be appreciated .

You have answered the for your question number 1.
I am going to answer for your question number 2:
We usually have interim storage bins in interim storage types. But these will disappear after the stock moved from interim bins.
This interim storage type/bin concept is created to map the real business process. Let's talk about the examply GR from supplier. Usually,
Warehouse personnel, unload the stock from truck and keep a place called staging area. This is in SAP called Interim storage area.
At this time, transaction is completed for IM side, Ie the material document is created and MM-WM trigger point TR also created. and depends the SAP config settings, this TR may be converted to as a TO and waiting for the confirmation.
Hope it helps.

Different production good receipt interim storage type by workcenter

Hello,
When a semifinished material is produced and 101 movement is performed, material is located at interim storage type 901.
As each workcenter is responsible of staging material produced on his area, in order to have an accurate control of the materials that are still pending of staging in a workcenter, we want to have a different interim storage type for each workcenter.
How can we achieve that, without using different movements types for each workcenter?
thanks a lot for your help,
Hannover,

Hi
Pls analyse the below mentioned scenario whether its suitable for your business process
In case if you receive a particular material X from work center A and material Y from work center B , that is what i meant to say is if there is a clear demorgation between materials from a particular work center (Material X will be received only from work center A not from any other work center) then you can use the special movement indicator in the material master and in the ref mvt type-WM mvt type linkage you can mention the special mvt indicator for a WM mvt type and assign the relevant storage type in the WM mvt type level config settings
In this case you need to create multiple WM mvt types not ref/IM mvt types and assign different interium storge types to the relevant WM mvt types.

Interim Storage Type Configuration

Hi All
I want to find out on interim storage type configuration, if it is possible and flexible in that you are able to configure it in such a way that you are able to separate the movements into the storage types according to the diffrent commodities (material types) and within those commodities, you can separate/filter your gains, losses and adjustments. What I am looking at, at the end of the day is to be able to pull through a report of interim storage type where I would be able to see all my losses, gains and adjustments in terms of quantity sitting on the interim storage type.
Regards
Khuselwa

Hi
I am not sure what you want to see as stock in interim st types are not neccessarily gains or losses.
Interim st types are used in SAP to recognise that some stock exists and needs to be moved such as 902 for goods receipt or 921 for stock transfers.
If you have gains or losses which are created by adjustments you can use the 'Reason For Movement' field when you create the gain or loss (this field needs to be congigured) and then you can run a report MBGR to see them.
I hope that this helps

Putaway quantity does not show in Interim Storage Type 916

Hi all,
It could be a silly quesiton however would need your help with the issue below.
When I create Picking TO from Outbound Delivery, usually I will see the Pick Quantity from Source Storage Bin and Putaway Quantity showed in Interim Storage Type 916. However, for the warehouse I'm working on I could not see the Putaway Quantity showing in Sty 916, only Picking Quantity displayed from source storage bin.
For example, I created picking TO# 17439 to pick stock from storage type 001 to destination storage type 916. Here I only see the 'Pick Quantity' showing in storage type 001. I don't see 'Putaway Quantity' shows in Storage Type 916.
Would appreciate if anyone can provide some advices. Thanks.

Hi Jurgen, I have cancelled the TO above for some other tests. I have created a new delivery, please see the new TO#17442 with LT21:

Bins in the interim storage type

Hi
The client has a requirement where the interim storage type 902 (GR Area External Receipts) needs to be bin managed. i.e. it should be possible to select the bins manually. Std. system has PO no. as dynamic bin. Is this possible? If yes, how??
Thanks in advance
DB

yes, this is possible..
Check the documentation(sap library) on this for details..

List of standard Interim storage types - WM

What are the standard Interim storage types
In my system people have created few starting with 9 hence not able to diffrentiate which are standard and which are non-standard
Thanks

The Standard Interim storage types starts with 9**.
In the table T331, the below fields will have 'X', which shows everything is allowed.
MISCH - Mixed storage
ZULAG - Addition to stock
NEGAT - Negative stock qty
LENVW - Storage Unit Management (will be empty)
The reason for the Storage Unit Management will not be selected was the HUS can packed and repacked with no restrictions.
I hope you can find the difference based on that.

Are Interim Storage Types HU managed?

Hi, Please let me know if interim storage type can be HU managed? How can I do this?
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
with regards,
Muthu Ganapathy.

Hello Muthu,
In the same path as above, you will find the "Define storage type" node.
- Execute that node
- select the storage type for your warehouse.
- on the bottom of screen, you will find "HU picking control"
- Select the appropriate option.
This will give you fair idea about HU in Warehouse.

Storage Bin for Interim Storage Type 902 for GR

Hi,
We know that the the dynamic storage bin for goods receipt for PO is the PO number. However, when we are posting GR, system creates TR with interim storage bin as material document number.
I looked into the movement type config. However, we can only state that whether interim bin should be cordinates or fixed bin or dynamic bin. It has no way to mention what that dynamic bin would be.
Can you please suggest a way to change the dynamic storage bin as PO number instead of material document number.
Thanks,
Shekhar

Dear Shekhar,
Could you please check in view V_T308 (transaction code OMNF) whether the indicator "Dynamic bin material document" is set for your warehouse number and requirement type B?
Best regards,
Christiane

Manual (Dynamic) Interim Destination Storage Type instead of 916 for Outbound delivery T.O

HI,
we would like to create transfer order manually for outbound delivery.here both source and destination need to be given manual
i know that the interim storage type 916 given in the interface movement type , while T.O creation for the outbound delivery
we would like to have the destination interim storage type as a manual entry so i kept both destination and source storage type blank,and system permits to do picking (T.O Creation )
Created Transfer Order, with source and destination details and confirmed T.O.
But when i do the goods issue getting error as
Storage bin MT1 does not exist (check your entry)
Message no. L9009
when i checked table LIPS- LGTYP and LGPLA , both fields are empty.
Please let me know how can i make this functionality.
Thanks.

The requirement is , my interim storage areas are real storage areas,for which goods are issued the stock goes to interim storage area and PGI will be made after verification ,but the interim storage area is dependent on the customer , not a fixed one which we will know only when we deliver the goods .
I use that process too, with verification on the final storage area before shipping, but what I do is to use SD in conjunction with WM. I use the gates in the Outbound Delivery, to separate the stock, since WM creates a bin in 916 for each delivery document and I can use that to know in which gate each quant is.
That way, everything goes to 916, but I have a report that tells me which stock is near each gate, so I can run the audit process before shipping.
It's not completely standard, but WM standard is very hard to use without an additional UI layer on top anyway.

You have attempted to execute a posting to a dynamic coordinate in a storage type for which a putaway strategy is defined. Dynamic coordinates, however, are provided only for storage types without a putaway strategy.

Question about storage type 902

Hello Everybody!
I´m implementing SAP WM and I have a doubt and is the next one:
When I do a material movement, system returns an error if the material is not create in the destiny storage type.
On the other hand, I create a purchase order and when I make the good entrance, the system stocks the material in the storage type 902 even the material is not create in this storage type.
Why is the reason for this? Is not necessary to create the materials in the standar storage type like 902?
Thank you very much for your help!

Hello Javier
You are right when it comes to goods receipt or goods issue. All the 9** series storage types are interim storage types which are fictitious. You only have to create 1 bin for each interim storage types. When you create the material master maintain the WM views only for the warehouse number and the other storage types that you use where all the bins are located. For storage types 902 the PO/inbound delivery number and for 916 outbound delivery number will be displayed as the bin numbers which are dynamic bins that gets deleted automatically once you complete the movements.
Thanks

How to transfer stk from interim Strg Type in WM

I have Handling Unit Mgt active, & I want to know how I can transfer partial qty from an interim storage Type area to Physical storage Type area?
I tried with LT01 but since there are two quants for same HU system is not allowing to do so.

first of all you need to know the source ..how the HU has moved to 922 storage type..922 is meant for interim storage type for PCN's.
Now PCN would have got created as a result of transfer posting of material.
Since, HU is active for plant/sloc combination then system would have created either an outbound delivery or inbound delivery.
You can find the delivery number by going in the history tab of HU.
Once u get the delivery number goto the packing screen and unassign the HU from material.
There will be "unassign" button in the packing screen of delivery.
So, after unassigning ,the material will get free from HU.
Then u can pack the partial quantity of material in different HU's and move it.

Storage Unit Management at WS level and/or Storage Type level??

Hi all,
There are two ways to activate the storage unit management in WM (i.e. Warehouse No, and Storage Type).
Does it means if I want only certain storage type to have the function of SU management, I should NOT activate it on the Warehouse number, and If I want ALL my storage type to have the function of SU management, then I should activate it at warehouse no, and I DO NOT need to activate the storage type level anymore??
Am i correct?
If not please explan to me as it is quite confuse.
Thanks
Tuff

To enable SUM, you must activate it on warehouse number level first. Then SUM can be activated for relevant individual storage type. Interim storage type can not be activated for SUM though.

Interim storage area

dock doros and staging areas are they linked to interim storage area? for example while doing a receipt for a PO based on delivery which has dock door and staging area assigned then what happens to interim storage area '902'?
Please clarify.

so it means i need to specify the interim storage type to the 311 in destination field
and i have aslo done exactly like that but now the problem coming is system is not able to pick the goods from sloc 00 & storage type high rack(from here i want to tranfer the goods to the sloc 01 storage type shelf )
syetm is showing error 'storage bin z1 not found '
and z1 is the name of my warehouse
in z1 i have high rack ,shelf, interim for stock transfer storage type ........................so what i am understanding is interim storage type has to be mentioned in dest. for movement type 311
and i have already maintaineed the stock palcement indicator ,stock removal indicaotr , storage section in material master and search tabls for storage type high rack (for stock removal as well as for sotck put way and ).....storage bin is already created
i if u can give ur mail id i can send u screen shots then u can understand my problem much better(if possible for you) ......................actually i am trying to learn warehouse for past 5 days but i am stcuk in 311 movement type

Intreim Storage type in TO

When we r doing GR in IM it will create a TR, while doing TO Scr Storage type is Intreim(902) & the Des is physical storage type & bin. But we can able to give a Intreim storage type & bin in Des. also.
Why it is allowing?

Why not?
It may easily happen that you have to move the goods to another interim storage type - e.g. this process is used in cross-docking where you receive the goods (e.g. 902) and without putting them away into one of the normal storage types, you directly move them to storage type 916 and ship them out.
Or just think of the inventory process as well as PCNs and you will see that the system itself uses TOs where both source and destination storage types are interim ones.
