SOURCE STORAGE BIN SUGGESTION

Former Member — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:37:28 GMT

Dear Experts,

Please give suggestion for this problem

scenario:

Against a goods reservation user wants do the picking and then post the IM documents and WM documents (ie TO creation confirmations using the FM "L_TO_CREATE_2_STEP_PICKING") . The system is configured for FIFO picking strategy. If this TO creation for Singlg Step its working fine.

But in the case 2 step picking (that is Single TO for Multiple deliveries(group)). Here the user wont give the Stock Removal Strategy for the material (If the user is entering the Stock removal strategy its working fine and creating the TO). But here the system is throwing an Error message as "SYSTEM CANNOT FIND SOURCE STORAGE BIN" and not creating the TO.

My requirement is i should able to create the TO for TWO STEP PICKING (Also FIFO Picking Strategy), even if the user is not maintaining the Stock Removal Strategy for the material.

Thanks & Regards,

Navaneeth

Hi,

Check for the following;

1. Check for the Storage Type for Putaway, whether you maintained Search Sequence correctly in the Storage type

2. Main thing, check for the Storage Bins within the Storage Type in which you are trying to do Stock Placement.

Whenever the system says System couldn't find any storage bin, ie means that there is no Storage Bins created within the particular Storage Type before TO Creation.

3. While creating TO with reference to TR use foreground option there you can find at which place you are striking.

the main cause for this error are as follows

1. No inventory in bins

2. Or...the material is in a storage type that is not in th removal strategy search sequence. For example: looking in MM0 WM View, I see that the removal strategy is XXX. Then looking i the IMG for XXX search stratgey I see that the storage types i searches through are 123, 456, 678. When I looked at th inventory location I find it is in storage type 777 and sinc that is not a storage type in my removal search strategy...th system errors out with the error you mention below.

3. Same thing in 2 can also apply for if you have setup specifi movement types for removal search stratgies and your materia and movement type search strategy is not seeing the material i the storage type the material is in.

I hope it will solve your problem.

Thanks & regards,

Hi,

The FM search the storage type from T334T table, Check this include L03AF58 you can find the reason of failure.

L03AF58--SOURCE CODE

SELECT * FROM T334T

WHERE LGNUM = P_LGNUM AND

KZEAR = P_KZEAR AND

LGTKZ = P_LGTKZ AND

BESTQ = P_BESTQ AND

SOBKZ = P_SOBKZ AND

LAGKL = P_LAGKL AND

WGFKL >= P_WGFKL AND

BWREF = P_BWREF AND

LGREF = T320-LGREF

ORDER BY PRIMARY KEY.

EXIT.

ENDSELECT.

Thanks &regards,

Hi,

Basically 2 Step picking means, we are grouping two different outbound deliveries into one group and it will allows you to create one TO. By using this TO warehouse personal will pick the products from bin. After picking it will be distributed at interim storage bin for different OD's.

As for your issue concerned, it is not comes under as 2 step picking process. As per my knowledge, you can create some temporary storage location(say XXXX) so that your all pack and unpack activities can be done over there. ID can be GR'ed first at this location XXXX. Then using MB1B you can transfer again to warehouse managed location

Thanks & regards,

Hi,

Actually the 2 step picking is working fine for FIFO strategy now. But when we activate the Stringent FIFO indicator and the user exit "EXIT_SAPLL03A_005" to do the LIFO strategy for picking it not creating the Transfer Order and giving the error message as "SYSTEM CANNOT FIND SOURCE STORAGE BIN". (Also here the user wont enter the STOCK REMOVAL STRATEGY for the material. If he enters the STOCK REMOVAL STRATEGY the TO is getting created without any problem)

Could you please let me know any other configuration or user exit needs to be activated in order to avoid this error (Even though the user does not enter the STOCK REMOVAL STRATEGY for the material?
