WM and storage units

Hi all.
I tested that when in material master (Warehouse management view2) is maintained the relation between loading equipment quantity and storage unit type, system divide total quantity in GR based on this relation and thus there is a TO split. This is OK.
I tried to do this calculation but manually during GR in MIGO, this means, during GR I go to "WM" tab in MIGO transaction and manually introduce this same relation. In this case, no TO split happens, it seems as the system doesn´t recognize the relation introduced in MIGO, just the one introduce in material master. Is it something missing? Is it necessary to activate anything in MIGO? anything related to transfer this informaiton from MIGO into WM?
Thanks!!!!!

Even I have faced the same problem. Even if you specify the quantities in the WM tab, the values from master gets picked up while creating TO against material document. You will have to take help of a development for this.

To print transfer order and storage unit labels in lt31

Hi SAP Gurus
1>Is it possible to print Transfer order and Labels simultaneously in tcode LT31(At a time when LT31 is executed
If yes please guide me the selection parameter in Tcode LT31 and if any configuration required in the background
2>Is it possible to print Transfer order and storage unit labels automatically when MIGO is posted.what are the settings required
My client raised a query that before he was able to print both once Migo is posted .But now only trnasfer orders is getting printed but not SU.
Requesting to help in this issues
Thanks in advance

chandu

you need to define the print control parameter in the customizing and whether you can print both(SU & TO) is depend on the print code which you specify in the setting under
LE----WM---Activities-----Define print control
After MIGO are you transferring the stock to SU managed storage type , as per STANDARD SAP stock goes to 902 which is Non SU managed so here you need to tell us the flow and the storage type where stock goes after MIGO also is that storage type is SU managed or not

Palletization and storage unit management

Hi,
On the WM view 2 in material master, there is a section call palletization.
Question:
1 u2013 If this material is going to be used in a storage unit environment, is it COMPULSORY to maintain it? If not maintain it, will I face error during TO creation for SU process?
2 u2013 Because we wouldnu2019t know the Storage unit type upfront until when the truck actually stop at our warehouse, and we using scanner to perform TO creation. Thus, under such scenario, is there a way in the system setup to bypass this maintenance in the material master and later still allow me to put in the SUT Type I desire on the spot?
tuff

palleteziation data is maintained in material master so that at the time of TO system can know how much quantity will be stored on which type of pallet and accordingly system will search for the BIN or it will find out that the bin is full
In case you do not mention it in material master then ceratinly you will get the error that please enter the palletelization data during Transfer order creation

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.

MIGO and storage unit type ?

Hi
In MIGO, in the WM tab. When replacing the unit of storage type by another and the user execute save. the system always takes the unit storage type of material.
Is there a way so that the system takes the storage unit type entered by the user and not of material ?
Many thinks

I believe the answer is yes, this link may give you some good info for this:

Zero Stock Check and Storage Units

Hi all, I'm trying to activate zero stock check in a SU managed storage type.
Guys from OSS told me that this is not feasible, since it may expose system to SU duplication. Even if I don't understand this constraint (I am picking for production replenishment, i.e. moving toward a not SU managed Storage Type, so this risk is not my case), I can accept this sentence.
Since customer is asking for this function, I've tried, as interim solution, to activate Zero Stock Check as Inventory Method, but it does not work too.
I've found note 862681, not applicable in my case, but is quoting LT09 and inventory check, not mentioning any constraint. In my understanding, it means that it is possible.
Someone can help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sanpan
I am in a similar boat.
We have a Bulk warehouse with storage types with 'B' putaway strategy. We would also like to instigate zero stock check but get the message Zero stock check not supported in bulk storage areas with storage units
Message no. LT246
Did you find a solution to this? Or have you coded a solution?
Many thanks

Difference between Storage Unit type and storage type

Hi,
I am confused with storage unit type and storage type.
Can anyone help me with real case examples.
I would like to know about Storage unit types and their uses in WM.

Hello!
Storage type is a storage area and Storage Unit Type is strategies are used in the warehouse process for creating transfer orders.
A storage type is a storage area, warehouse facility, or a warehouse zone that you define in Warehouse Management (WM) for a warehouse number. This is a physical or logical subdivision of a warehouse complex that is characterized by its warehouse technique, the space used, its organizational form, or its function. A storage type generally contains several storage spaces or slots. These are called storage bins in Warehouse Management (WM).

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/c6/f838f94afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/content.htm
Storage Unit Type is putaway strategy, the system processes different storage unit types (for example, pallets) and allocates them to the appropriate section. Often, one storage bin is divided into several smaller sections. Typically, only the same storage unit types can be placed into a storage bin at one time.

Storage unit number length

Hello friends,
I'm about to activating handling unit management for a newly cutsomized warehouse. hu numbers are 20 characters.
except this new one, all other warehouses defined in the client are storage unit managed and storage unit number length was set to 10.
so this is being a problem, when I packaged the stock in hu02. I need to change su number length from 10 to 20 but system says "this will cause serious result"..
Is anybody experienced this before? what is the possible result? or what kind of problems happens in my warehouses?
I d be glad if someone shares his/her ideas/experiences with me.
thanx in advance.

Hi,
May I know if the question still exists or not? If so, please reply it. Thanks a lot.

When to introduce Storage Unit into a warehouse business

Hi all,
I am new in storage unit and I did read up a couple website about the storage unit and know how it work.
However, I am wondering if you can share your experience with regards to following questions.
In what kind of warehouse operation setting best suit to use SAP storage unit functionality? Does the warehouse business process require to meet some basic pre-requisites before a storage unit process of SAP is consider feasible and not overkill or will provide value added to the whole warehouse operation?
Is there any concern or remification of introducing SAP SU into a warehouse operation (both from system and business perspective). In another word, impact to other module as a result of SU.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Regards,
Daniel

Hello Daniel, there are a number of reasons and scenarios for introduction of storage units.
I assume you want to use / are using - RF devices for WM...
From the aspect of warehouse operations if your products don't have printed material bar codes, then you would need to print them at some point in order to be able to scan your materials during transfer order confirmation. When you have batch management too, in bulk storage types everything gets more complicated since if you don't have storage unit management, and have batch managed materials, you also need to scan batch number in addition to scanning your material bar code. Ok, now you need to have that batch number bar-coded too. This gets a bit tricky, scanning two bar codes, printing 2 bar codes... Then why not introduce storage unit management and kill a couple of flies with one hit?
What storage unit does, is keep all the info stored in itself.
SU keeps track of material inside it, batch number, etc. So when you are picking from bulk storage type, by simply scanning SU you want to pick, you are actually specifying all the info from that SU, like material, batch, etc.
Someone will argue that material bar-code isn't mandatory to be scanned and yes it can be switched off, but it leaves you with a lot of room for mistakes, so if you don't have SU management, you need to scan the material + batch.
Also, it is easier to perform physical inventory with RF and storage unit managed warehouse. If you are having batch management that is.
From business point of view first we can think of traceability (not in the meaning of standard batch traceability) => like having the information of which exact pallet went to which customer.
When you scan storage unit for picking to customer 1234, you will have the information where did the exact pallet go, if you need that kind of info.
You can also have some sort of functionality like that without SU management, because you can actually store more information in one bar code, like scanning once and having all the info in one long number (by parsing the number you can assign that info to the appropriate fields in RF transactions).
And that's one good approach too if you don't want storage unit management but want to scan only once, but this requires some modifications to RF programs to be able to parse the scanned data into multiple data fields. Storage unit does something like that with just a bit of customizing.
Actually there are a lot of good things SU introduces in your warehouse, but sometimes it is overkill indeed, if you don't really need it then don't implement it, sometimes things are good to be kept simple, although I seem to thing about SU management to be the simplest way of operating WH.
If you need any further clarification or question about SU, feel free...

Mihailo

Same Storage Unit number for both source & destination storage bin

Creating a Storage Handling Unit With The Same # As A Storage Unit

Hello dear WM and MM experts,
I'm beginning to use Handling Units and Storage Units. From what I've been reading, it seems like you can have a HU enter the warehouse in the form of a SU with the same ID#. Is that correct? If that's the case, what transaction(s) is used to create the SU using the same ID# as the HU.]
Basically, I have a pallet with product on it and I'd like to know how to have a SU and a HU with the same ID# to be able to handle this pallet in both WM and MM.
Your input is greatly appreciated.

Hi Oscar,
In the shared thread reply from Sushant wanjari talks about both the scenario when HU management is active and when HU management is not active
Basically i am summarizing the response provided by Sushant "In the case where HU management is active and you want to carry HU number as SU number. No need to define the SU number range in the system. SAP recommends only activating length conversion for storage unit numbers. Note, that this setting is made at client level, and is therefore valid for other warehouse numbers in the same client.
Inbound delivery for which Putaway TO needs to be created
HU in the inbound delivery
During TO creation system propose the same HU number as SU number
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you need any further input on this

Leave Handle Units and keep Storage Units in WM

Hi all,
I'm searching for a solution to leave our HUM and "transfer" existing stocks keeping the Storage Unit number.
Thanks for your ideas !
Regards,
Eric Colas

It is possible to do the putaway in WMS w/o previous GR in IM, for details you should read SAP online help which provides the steps of necessary customizing and steps of the scenario:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c6/f83f704afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
(When you putaway the positive quant a negative quant will be created - this negative quant will be neutralized via the PrdOrd confirmation.)

WM Replenishment and 2-step picking with storage units.

Dear Colleagues,
I am attempting to use SAP standard fixed bin replenishment and implement it as a 2-step picking process. Generally, the process goes as follows:
- Generate replenishment pick tasks
- Place the picked products onto storage units in an intermediate storage type
- Put the products away from storage units into the respective fixed bins
I have setup the necessary parameters to get standard replenishment to work. I can run LP21 and generate all TR's, and subsequently TO's. The product moves from respective reserve bins into the fixed bins based on strategies that I have setup.
The issue i am experiencing is when I try to introduce the intermediate storage type to place the product into, before it goes into the fixed bins. Additionally, the intermediate storage type needs to have SUM enabled, so that the product gets placed onto pallets. This way, the warehouse personnel will be able to track the physical product movements before it is put away.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
HK

Hi,
I'm not sure your scenario is viable in (standard) SAP.
As I understand (e.g.):
- source storage type: productA 10 pc, productB 20 pcs, productC 30 pc
- intermediate storage type: SU1 (productA 2 pc, productB 17 pcs, productC 10 pc), SU2 (productA 8 pc, productB 3 pcs, productC 20 pc)
- destination storage type: bin1: productA 2 pc, productB 17 pcs, productC 10 pc, bin2: productA 8 pc, productB 3 pcs, productC 20 pc
Please notice that SAP determines the to be removed quantities (~corresponding to SU1 & SU2 but not as SUs) when you remove the goods from the intermediate storage type ("allocation") and not when you place the goods into it.
Please also notice that automatically you cannot create storage units (palletize) with different products on it (I'm not sure this is requirement in your case or not).
Please check this link where it is explained where to carry out customizing for 2-step picking and how it works:
