Wide materials in storage bins how to configure?

Hi experts,
98% of the time I am dealing with the classic 1 pallet per storage bin sceanrio so I have my storage bins set up A001A, A001B, A001C, A001D and so on....and this works great.
However, every so often I get a really wide item in such as a sofa which would take up A001A, A002A and A003A. This would then mean that storage bins A001A, A002A, A003A are no longer available for putaway.
The simplest solution would be to have 1 storage bin A001A that was wide enough to store the sofa and forego A002A and A003A. The problem, as I see it is that I would be doing that for only 2% of the time, also the labels A002A and A003A would be above the storage bins so it may be confusing. 98% of the time I would benefit from having A001A. A002A and A003A defined as seperate storage bins.
What would be the best set-up to deal with this situation?
Thanks in advance for your help
John

Your current set up seems pretty OK , considering you get the Big sofas only 2% of the times.
Are the 3 Bins actually just 3 logical partitions of a larger space? If such is the case and the volume of transactions is low, then you can Putaway the Sofa in A001A and at the same Time Put a Manual Posting block on the other 2 Bins by LS06 (you may try and automate this blocking by user exit) . when the Sofa is issued, remove the blocks on the 2 other bins. this is just a suggestion, you may find better solutions in the WM forum.

WM how to determine storage bins manually for a multi row transfer order?

Hi to everyone. in our WM configuration, SAP system is posting transfer requirements automatically according to goods receipt. After that, we want to post transfer orders with reference to recently created transfer requirement.
We prefer to use Logistics> Logistics Execution> Internal Whse Processes> Transfer Requirement> Display> LB12 - For Material Document
Then choose the transfer requirement we want and press "TO in foregr." button. For single material documents, there is not a problem, we can easily determine the storage bin(s) we want to transfer materials. But in multi material transfer orders there is not an option to choose storage bins in "Create TO from TR: Overview of Transfer Requirement" screen. it is expected from us to "generate TO item" and "save" without entering any storage bin addresses. after that, system automatically send materials to storage bins according to customizations and the material master data.
I want to know, if there is a possibility for us to choose the storage bins we want in multi material transfer orders which are created from transfer requirements. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Standard program: RLVSDR40

The path for configure the documents that we want to print when we create transfer orders is: SPRO --> SAP REFERENCE IMG button --> Logistics Execution --> Warehouse Management --> Storage Units --> Activities --> Define print control.

List of stock by storage bin

Hi,
I need to display a list of materials by storage bin. How to display in this list the quantity and valuation of stock for each material and for each storage bin.
Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Am not in front of the system, but if am right MBEW has fields called valuation area which is plant, matnr you should find in both tables.
Check by doing the join of the said fields, if the system does not allow joins on MBEW table then use abap statements to read value.
Hope the above helps.

How to deactivate/disable auto TO print-out for Storage bins and storage type in WH?

Is there a way to deactivate auto printing of TO for some storage bins ? If yes then can you please tell me step by step configuration?
If no then how can we deactivate auto TO printing for the Storage type ?

Hello Manu,
As I know it works entirely at storage type level, not storage bin level in WM. This is standard SAP default behavior.
It is standard behaviour that printing settings in the warehouse are generally based on storage types and movement types
Please check the user exits for transfer parameters.
in RLVSDR40 -> MWMD0001 : EXIT_RLVSDR40_001
Print transfer orders (TOs)
Check user exits MWMD0001 or MWMD0002, a detailed documentation via Transaction SMOD.

How can i order OT by Storage Bin

Hi All,
I am trying to order the OT Queue by Storage Bin, in documentation I found that i can define an criteria order in transaction SPRO -> RF Queue Management -> Assign Processor to Queues. There you define the values
No input:     By priority and transfer order number
Input value 1:     By transfer order number (ascending)
Input value 2:     By transfer order number (descending)
Input value 3:     You can also define your own specific sort criteria with the help of the user exit. Use the enhancement name MWMRFSRT
But i saw the table and I cannot insert values, the field is not displayed.
I used the function EXIT_SAPLLMOB_061, and i could order the OT queue by a differente citeria (i sorted the table by TANUM to test), but i don´t know how to insert the values 1,2,3 mentioned before, somebody knows how can i do it? are this values necessary or i can use only the function exit EXIT_SAPLLMOB_061?
Best regards,
Alejandro

Hi,
I solved this issue using the Enhancement MWMTO012 Correction of Sorting and Split Transfer Order, Here I can change the order of the OT created by the transaction VL06P And LT03.

How to clear stock from storage bin and delete bins?

Hi All
For the development of prototype we have made some dummy warehouse structure and made stock movements with dummy bins. Now we wanted to go for real implementation. Before we made actual configurations, we wanted clear all dummy data. Can anyone suggest the standard process for clearing the stock, storage bins?
Thanks
Sasidhar Gupta

Hi Sasidhar.
is it non production system.
If yes you can move all this stock in some other storage type as dummy with dummy name.
and you can use all built as actuals.
or do PI and remove all stock from system as not actual stock .
and if its non production system then why are u worrying about all this. Let it be and start building your system as you require.

How to generate Barcode for Storage Bins

Hi,
How to generate Barcode for the all the newly created storage bins in order to get scanned with the RF devices.
Thanks and regards,
I.Jacob Milton

Hello Jacob,
We generate our barcodes with the help of the PPF action. For example, our labels have the barcodes onto them and when we finish a task that requires packing/unpacking/deconsolidation we have the PPF trigger the printing of the neccesary labels.
I direct you to the path SCM SPRO - Supply Network Collaboration - Tools - Actions (Post Processing Framework). Here you need to set the action and namely the trigger.
All the best,

How to block storage bin transfer

Dear experts,
I have an issue. Fo example, a material is already been flagged for deletion. All transfer from plant level up to storage location is already blocked. But I can still do bin transfer using LT01. Can we block LT01 as well?
Please advise.
Best Regards,
Hasniza

Hi
In that case if the storage bin is getting blocked then it will affect the postings of other materials , so better to go with material level
Do one cycle in your development/quality server and ensure that it is working fine as per the clients requirement, take care of other exceptional scenarios also if any.

Short text
Stock Comparison Inventory Management / Warehouse Management
Description
Using this report you can generate an inventory comparison between the IM System (Inventory Management) and the WM System (Warehouse Management).
On the selection screen, you can limit the area for comparison by entering the plant / storage location, plant / warehouse number or only the warehouse number.
In addition to specifying the area, you can also determine the extent of information to be issued. Here you have three options:
1. "With bin inventory"
In addition to generating the corresponding stock figures, you can also have a list of the corresponding WM bin quantities included.
2. "All data on material"
Even if only one difference occurs in one of the listed combinatations of material / batch / special stock indicator / supplier, all material combinations are listed. This can be very helpful when searching for errors.
3. "Clear differences"
If you mark this field, the system will generate a batch input session. By starting the batch input session, the differences to be cleared are removed in the IM system. Negative WM stock figures and stock differences in returns will not be cleared.
If you want to have a batch input file generated for the purpose of clearing the differences, it is important, for consistency reasons, that the materials in the respective warehouse are blocked in order that postings affecting stock figures can be prevented.
CAREFUL: If you generate this session, all the material stocks belonging to the respective warehouse number are blocked completely, that is, for the duration of the program, no postings affecting the stock in the warehouse will be possible!
Prerequisites
The comparison is also possible for warehosue numbers managed on a decentralized basis.
Output
You receive a list with various materials. The list contains the following information, for example:
The first line contains the plant, storage location, warehouse number, material number, total stock in inventory management, total stock in the warehouse, and the difference between the stocks.
The following line contains the first combination of batch / special stock indicator / supplier (or sales document and item number for sales order stock) and stock category (Q,R,S, ), the stock figures in Inventory Management, in Warehouse Management, and the difference.
If a batch input session is to be generated, the list contains a note in the log as to whether or not a session has been generated or behind the pushbutton "non-postable stocks", which materials could not be cleared because of negative stock figures or because they belong to returns stock.

How to configure Time Capsule to add another 2GB of storage via USB External Hard Drive?

Hi All, I've recently added an external 2GB hard drive via USB to my 1GB Time Capsule as I had reached capacity. Time Capsule recognises the new 2GB hard drive so I know I have got that at least that bit right! But... I cant seem to figure out how to configure TC to add the extra 2GB to the current 1GB it already has for a total of 3GB? Under 'Select Disk' I can select either one or the other but I can't find a way to 'merge' them both. So a couple of questions:
- Is this even possible?
- If I have to keep them seperate, is there way to select different folders to back up to the different drives? E.g. back up all my music files to one of disk and all my movie files to another? I tried it but is seems like the options apply to time capsule regardless of the drive I select.
Any assistance you can provide would be most appreciated.
Regards, Justin

- Is this even possible?
Sorry, but no. You will not be able to combine the drives as one as the Time Capsule does not offer any type of RAID function.
- If I have to keep them seperate, is there way to select different folders to back up to the different drives? E.g. back up all my music files to one of disk and all my movie files to another? I tried it but is seems like the options apply to time capsule regardless of the drive I select.
Not directly with Time Machine (TM). You would need another backup solution, and then, run two separate backups (with the specific folders of interest); one on each HDD.

How to Unblock a Storage Bin With an Inventory Active Flag

Hi,
I have a storage bin that shows as being blocked by an Inventory active flag, but the inventory document has been canceled. I can't even view this document since it was canceled. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Das.

Hi,
You should be able to click on the bin master data (click on bin # and go to inventory tab) and take the recent inventory doc # then go to li02 and delete the inv. doc. That will solve your problem.
You could also try LX22: Edit > Deactivate.
Reward points if found helpfull..

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

How to configure multiple IP-Adresses on one NIC in OVM

Hi guys,
we have some OVM Servers 2.2.1 installed. They all have three NICs in them (eth0-2). For eth0 and eth2 we need multiple IP-Adresses configured to work with our storage solution. The configuration should look like this:
eth0:0 - 192.168.31.x
eth0:1 - 192.168.33.x
eth1 - 192.168.0.x
eth2:0 - 192.168.32.x
eth2:1 - 192.168.34.x
I tried creating gonfig files ifcfg-eth0:0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts with the following content
DEVICE=eth0:0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.31.3
TYPE=Ethernet
HWADDR=00:1b:21:06:f0:fa
But it does not work. Neither eth0:0 nore an additional xenbr is configured when i restart.
I can configure multiple ip addresses for xenbr0 by calling something like "ifconfig xenbr0 192.168.31.x". But these settings get lost as sonn as i reboot the server.
I have already searched google, forums and blogs for a solution but could not find one. I thought that this should be a pretty common task. In "normal" linux it is not an issue at all.
Has somebody any experience with a setup like this? I would really apreciate your help.
Thanks
Marek

Hi,
configuring IP aliasses seems to work the same way like configuring VLANs. You will have to configure the appropriate bridges at system startup manually.
E.g. this little script is what I use to configure VLANs and briges on my OVM:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Configuring VLANs and bridges\n"
echo "Configuring VLAN 24 on eth2"
vconfig add eth2 24
brctl addbr br2.24
brctl addif br2.24 eth2.24
ifconfig eth2.24 up
ifconfig br2.24 up
echo "Configuring VLAN 31 on eth2"
vconfig add eth2 31
brctl addbr br2.31
brctl addif br2.31 eth2.31
ifconfig eth2.31 up
ifconfig br2.31 up
This script is run at startup by init using this startup skript in /etc/init.d, which is what I think you're missing as you can already seem to bring up the needed IPs manually - you'd have to change the chkconfig accordingly, that is make sure that the config script gets startet after the network has been brought up, like this: # chkconfig: 2345 11 91
[root@oraclevm01 ~]# cat /etc/init.d/vlan-config
#! /bin/bash
# vlan-config configure VLANs
# chkconfig: 2345 11 89
# description: Configures VLANs at boot time before the \
# network is started.
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: $vlan
### END INIT INFO
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions
if [ ! -f /etc/vlan-config ]; then
exit 0
fi
# See how we were called.
case $1 in
     start)
               # configure vlans
               /etc/vlan-config
          echo $"Usage: $0 {start}"
          exit 1
esac
exit 0
