WM and Open storage putaway strategy

Hi,
the following link gives an explanation about Open storage putaway strategy
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/c6/f844694afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Strategy C: Open Storage
Use
The system uses this putaway strategy to find the storage bin in an open storage section. Open storage is a type of warehouse organization in which you define a single storage bin for a storage section. The quants in the storage bin can also be in the form of mixed storage.
I think that in this strategy is also possible to define more than a single storage bin for a storage section.....or not?
So why the statement: you define a single storage bin for a storage section.
Best regards

I cannot tell you why it is explained in this way, even the German explanation does not give any hint.
Open storage putaway strategy is the most used in my implementations and I can confirm that you can have hundreds of bins in one storage section.

Difference between open storage & Bulk storage PUTAWAY STRATEGY

Dear all,
What is main difference between open storage & Bulk storage PUTAWAY STRATEGY ?
Thanks & Regards,
Olet Malla

Hi,
Open storage is a type of warehouse organization in which you define a single storage bin for a storage section. Normally if it a large area with one (or more) storage sections.
Materials that occur in large quantities and generally take up a lot of space in storage are often stored in bulk storage. Mainly it is used for Reduced need for physical storage bins, Fast access to the trading units, Clear structuring of the warehouse (into blocks and rows)
This putaway strategy searches for storage bins in bulk storage.
Thank you

Difference between Bulk and Open Storage

Hi All
Can any one give me the brief description of Bulk storage type and Open Storage type and the difference between them.
With Rgds
Vinod

Hi,
Bulk:
Warehouse without shelves where similar pallets or containers are stacked.
The storage bins in bulk storage are separated by lines on the floor. Each bin can store only one material, for example, cases of 1 liter bottles of orange juice.
The SAP System provides a strategy for bulk storage.
Open:
Type of warehouse organization in which only one storage bin is defined for each storage section.
The quants in the bin conform to mixed storage.

Putaway strategy for rack storage and floor

HI
we have define one warehouse room as One Storage Type. its rack storage . Storage unit
managed . in each storage bin one Su (pallet) can be placed. Some times we keep stocks (on pallets) on the floor
(Pallets in one layer). No of Pallets(SU) is defined at that floor, say 100 pallets can be placed on the floor.
we need Capacity check method = 2 (Check based on palletization accord. to SUT 1).
Which Putaway strategy should be applied for this storage type.? considering 1 bin = 1 pallet and Pallets on the floor.
thanks & regards
thomas

Hi Hein
yes, creating seperate storage type for racking and floor is a solution.
but if we want to keep it as whole room as One Storage type.
what you think about putaway strategy "P" Pallet putaway strategy. if we consider floor as speerate BIN TYPE and define BIN TYPE and SUT permitted . And Allowed SU in that BIN TYPE.
your opnion please.
thanks & best regards

Multiple bins in one section in storage type with 'C' open storage strategy

Experts,
I am doing random storage replenishment process for a Low rack location. The replenishment gets triggered from high rack to low rack.
The low rack storage type is defined as next empty bin as putaway strategy and the storage type contains multiple bins in each section.
There is process change and I want to place multiple SUs in one bin , I want to use the putaway strategy as 'C' open storage
and mixed storage allowed with SUT check and SU management active . It is working fine as expected in terms of triggering replenishment
and storing multiple SUs in 1 bin.My concern is that as a rule open storage should contain only one storage bin for section.But in my design , each section contains
multiple storage bins. Does is really hurt in any form? What are consequences? Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
You are right. Normally it does not hurt, but what you are doing with the new process change contradicts your original design. Can you explain why you had storage sections in the area in the original design? Did you segregate SKU's by product families/fast movers etc....and now you dont have that requirement anymore or your SKU management has changed?

U0093Addn to stocku0094 for putaway strategy u0093 u0093 in storage type not working

Hi
It seems that the flag Addn to stock for putaway strategy in the storage type 103 configuration is not working fine as the quantities of the same material with the same batch sent to the same stype 103, and destination bin are not being added. So by running stock report in WM we see several lines with partial quantities instead of only one line with the total quantity in place. Do anybody know how can that be solved? Or what can be the route cause of the issue? Is there any OSS known applicable to fix the problem?
Thx for your help

Hi Alba,
Please check the WM views in MM.
I've checked:
(SAP help pushing F1 when the cursor is set on this thick box)
<i>Indicator: Allow addition to existing stock
Indicator determining whether a material with particular characteristics may be added to existing stock of the same material with the same characteristics in one storage bin.
Dependencies
If the storage type control table does not allow additions to existing stock for this storage type, the indicator set in the material master record is ineffective.</i>

Placement Strategy : Open Storage

Dear All,
Appreciate it if you could shed light / clear doubts on the matter below:
1. For placement strategy Open Storage, is it a must to use it with storage section ?
The design is not firm yet -- in the event, i have a storage type 100, and plan to activate with this placement strategy, is it a must to use / have storage section ?
2. Take for example, under storage type 100, i only have 3 bins, with placement strategy Open Storage.
How will system propose the bins for storage ?
The Next Empty bin strategy, will always proposed the next available empty bin. So, how does Open Storage strategy works then?
3. SUT. Don't plan to activate SUT, for the Open Storage strategy.
What will be the implication on the warehouse without ths ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pui Wan Lam
Kindly read WM basics availble widely over Internet. You could also go through help.sap.com
Well how SAP determines BIN :
1) You have maintained storage types / storage section & Bins are available
2) You have created storage type Indicators & data maintained in Material Master WM1 / WM2
3) You have defined the serach sequent against Indicator (Storage type & Storage section)
When TO is getting created system serach for the storage types mapped against the Indicator maintained in material master
If storage section is activated system tries to serach for available BIN in Storage type & Storage section.
If BIN not found system jumps to next storage type + storage section combination . This is how it works.
Now in your case yu have 3 Bins ..001 , 002 , 003
For exmple you have material 1100 , 2200 , 3300
Storage type 100 (Open storage) ,200 , 300 etc & storage sections in 100 are 001 , 002 , 003
Storage type Indictor XXX & storage section Indicator Y01 , Y02 , Y03 is created.
You need to do the way described below.
For material 1100 maintain XXX & Y01 , 2200 : XXX & Y02 , 3300 : XXX & Y03
In Customisation storage serach sequence : XXX = 100 , 200 ,300 etc.
storage section search Y01 = 001 , Y02 = 002 , Y03 =003
Storage section check is activated for storage type 100
Whenever Material 1100 will come system will always propose BIN 001 This is irrelevant of number of postings , you can create as many postings , if you try to take the material in 002 Bin , system will not allow unless you make chnages either in Material Master or in customisation.
Say if Material 4400 can go in any section you can maintain Blank entry at storage section in Materil master & define one more sequnce in customisation ...."Blank "= Y01 , Y02 , Y03 . With such combination always BIN 001 will be proposed but you can overrite those values & take the material in any BIN with appropriate combination.
I hope this clarifies your all doubt !
Thanks,
mahesh

[WM] Putaway strategy for bulk storage type SU-managed

Hi Gurus,
I need your help
I have a Bulk storage type with SU-managed. I would undestand the real behaviour of putaway strategy B.
1) Case 1: assume that in bulk storage type there are the followed bins (rows):
- in bin XX1 there is material AAA
- Bin XX2 is empty
In this situation if i receive material AAA, putaway strategy B chooses the bin XX1 by background processing - correct!
2) Case 2: assume that in bulk storage type there are the followed bins (rows):
- In Bin XX1 there is material AAA
- in Bin XX2 there is material AAA
- in Bin XX3 there is material AAA
In this situation if i receive material AAA, i don't undestand the behaviour of putaway strategy B. Seems that the system chooses in random way the bin (XX1, XX2 and XX3).
P.S: the storage unit type is one of default - E1.
Can you help me?
Thank very much

You told
Addn to Stock: X
Block upon placement: empty
Then How can you have Case 2?
In Bin XX1 there is material AAA
Next time also stock goes to XX1 only not XX2 unless you overwrite manually.
What does your block strage structure looks like? i'm sorry but i don't undestand your question.
Go to OMM4 "Define-Block struct." and look No. SUs for your St. bin type, SUT & Bulk stor Ind.

Putaway strategy EWR (storage location re pack)

Hello Experts,
In order to repack certain part numbers that come in as nested HUs, yet need to be delivered as single HUs (subwoofer, Klima compressor, u2026), directly after goods receipt, these parts should be redirected directly to the repack area. Therefore we ask for the creation of a putaway strategy EWR that will allow for this.
Could you help me to know what puway strategy can l use and how configurate this in the system.
Regards,
Hugo

Hi,
First put way strategy is for different function it is not meant for packing function
You can explore packing functionality and or HANDLING UNIT MANAGEMENT
In your case you have to distributed HU and this you want to pack in 1 HU
Check t-code HUPAST
When you go inside you will find option Pack material and pack HUs

I have had to delete my icloud account and open up another because it would not verify. In the meantime I have lost my storage which was attached to the previous email account. I would like to know how I can transfer it across to my existing account?

Thanks randers4. Reading through other discussion points, other people have similar problems. I thought and still do, that the easiest option was to delete and open up another. That worked fine except I remembered that I had some storage attached to that icloud address. I live in New Zealand.

LT10 "Immediate confirmation" of TO with Putaway strategy "C" Doesn't Work

Hi ,
We have WM with HU implemented for a Plant/ Sloc Combination.In Warehouse we have multiple storage types.
Putaway strategy "C' (Open storage) is implemented with SU in one of the storage type of warehouse.
If we try to make internal movement within this storage type using LT10 with option "Immediate Confirmation" (of TO) , it doesn't work and we have to use LT12 to confirm transfer order seperately.
This is happening only if we are opting QUANT VIEW in LT10.If we use STORAGE UNIT view in LT10 and transfer the material with IMMEDIATE confrimation , TO gets confirmed immediately.
Further , functionality of "Immediate confrimation" works perfectly if we use storage type with other put-away strategy like "NEXT EMPTY BIN"
Need your immediate help on this
Regards
Sandeep Marwha

Hi Sandeep,
In open storage , you have only one bin per storage section. You are also having SU. So quant view will not work, thats why Storage unit view is working. Moreover, please check if mixed storage is enabled. If not then it will not allow multiple SU to accomodate. Thats where the Next empty bin will work.
Thanks,
Mono

Putaway Strategy I: addition to existing stock

Hi,
I've set the storage type search sequence C01 as follows:
1st storage type: H01: (putaway strategy: I, mixed storage; addition to existing stock; capacity check method: 4)
2nd storage type: J01: (putaway storage type: C: open storage)
But the problem is, when I perform GR, there's enough space in the bins under storage type H01, but the system suggests me to put the material to open storage J01. What's the problem?
Thanks.

Hi Csaba,
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Yes, "mixed storage" are not suggested to be activated according to the SAP help document.
But the fact is, no system warning or error message occurred when I activate "mixed storage" for the storage type H01 with putaway "I".
Current requirement is, I want the system search storage bin by the following sequence:
1. sequence 1
   Firstly, search the storage bin that contains same material
2. sequence 2
   if above search failed, then search another non-empty storage bin    <--- No performed by the system
3. sequence 3
if both above failed, then search empty bin.
4. sequence 4
   search storage bin in other storage type according to the storage type search sequence
But the problem is, by the putaway strategy I, the systme does NOT perform sequence 2, i.e. search other non-empty storage bin under the storage type H01 (the putaway strategy for H01 is I, and I activated "mixed storage" for it) .
The big proglem is, if I select the putaway strategy as I: additin to existing stock, the system only
look for the bin with same material or empty bin; the system does not look for the bins contain other
materials even though the bins are big enough to store the material.
So what's the problem? If I don't use putaway strategy I, is there any other putaway strategy meet my requirements?
Kindly please advise again.
Regards

Pallet Putaway Strategy

Hello All,
I think the main advantage of having Pallet Putaway is that we can
manage several quants in one storage bin without having mixed storage.
i.e., through bin sectioning.
But when I have pallet strategy and have my storage type without
Mixed storage active, system is not allowing that. If this is not happening
then whats the purpose of sectioning bin when already we have the
segregation at Quant level. Please guide on this.
Thanks and regards,
Milton Isaac

Hi
I am not sure I understand the issue
If you want pallet storage I would expect this to be because you want to have one pallet in one bin
If this is not the case then maybe you could try 'C' which is open storage
Also if you want to have multiple items in one bin then surely you would select Mixed storage allowed
I hope that this helps

SAP WM Putaway strategy - Next empty bin

Hello,
I am testing putaway strategy - L - Next empty bin.
I' ve created 902 - Storage type:
Also i've been activated storage type search and storage section search:
Then i've added this data to material master:
And i also defined movement type- 101 for purchase orders:
Also, special for this, i've created the empty bin:
But when i am trying to post goods receipt in MIGO, i am getting the following error:
Storage bin Z02 does not exist (check your entry)
Message no. L9009
Could you please advise - what is wrong - why i can't post the goods receipt in MIGO?
Thank you in advance.

Hello, Jürgen
That's the settings for standard 101 wm mvmt type:
That's setting for my 101 wm mvmt type:
Difference - that i don't want to use dynamic storage bins.
And i still have this error:
Storage bin Z02 902 does not exist (check your entry)
Message no. L9009
Now system defines also storage type, because of i wrote it in the mvmt type, but i still can't understand, why it doesn't find storage bin, according the strategy.
I think, that i 've made all necessary customizing settings and i also have one empty storage bin on this storage type and storage section.

Addn to stock flag for putaway strategy not working

Hi Guys
Unfortunately I do not think that you will get an answer now. Either your question is not simple or we do not know.
So in the interest of keeping the Forum tidy and easier to surf through could you please close your thread and wither try one of the other forums or try another post. I do not think that mosy people will bother to look this far back anymore.
Sorry I cannot help as I would if I could.
