How SU can have multiple Quants?

[User05]

"For your clear understanding SUM is a subdivision of storage Bin where stocks are stored with SU number rather in quant number. The another advantage of SUM is, we can maintain two or more different quants inside a SU." - this statement was I have seen in an blog but I did not understand this.

Can you explain what does this mean? Like if I have material having palletization in Material with 50 Qty, having SU managed and If I do GR for 150 Qty then the system will create automatically 3 SU's for 3 next empty bins, how can we maintain multiple Quants in same SU according to that statement. Can you clarify?

But if I transfer stock from one SU to one Bin it is then creating other Quant in same Bin, but not under one SU. How can we get multiple quants under one SU.

Hello 1pa_1

As per SAP Glossary

storage unit

A logical grouping of one or several amounts of material that can be managed in a warehouse as a unit. Each storage unit has a storage unit (SU) number.

You can see a storage unit as a pallet or a box containing stock. As in real life you can put multiple materials on a single pallet or in a single box, you can do the same in LE-WM, you can put multiple quants into a single storage unit. You just need to specify an existing destination storage unit number while creating a transfer order. That will add stock to the storage unit.

Hi 3a9e4ce873a94034b33dc62b0ce600ee,

Thanks for your response clarified, so for that the storage type has to allow the mixed storage.
