EWM- Put away rules – General storage Area.
Introduction: One of the warehouse requirement is , in one of the storage type any product with any qty should be able to put away in a single bin.
Basically, we allow mixed storage with unlimited capacity to a bin.
We fulfil the above requirements through one of the options from storage control parameters called Put away rules- General storage area
Configuration steps:
- Define storage type (AK97)
- Define storage bin type (A97)
- Generate Activity Area (AK97)
- Bin Sorting -> /N/SCWM/SBST
- Define Warehouse process Type (W97)
- Define control indicators for determining warehouse process types (PTDI: 97)
- Determine warehouse process type.
- Define put away control indicator (PA97)
- Define storage type search sequence for put away (ST97)
- Assign storage types to storage type search sequence.
- Specify storage type search sequence for put away.
Testing:
- Material master (MM01)
- Create purchase order (ME21N)
- Create inbound delivery against to PO -(VL31N)
- Process the Inbound delivery -> (/N/SCWM/PRDI)
- Create Put away task
- Confirm Put away task.
1.Define storage type (AK97)

2.Define storage bin type (A97)
PATH: SPRO-> IMG -> SCM EXTENED WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT -> EWM -> MASTER DATA -> STORAGE BIN -> DEFINE STORAGE BIN TYPE

- Generate Activity Area (AK97)
PATH: SPRO-> REF IMG-> SCM EWM-> EWM-> MASTER DATA-> ACTIVITY AREAS-> GENERATE ACTIVITY AREA FROM STORAGE TYPE

- Bin Sorting -> /N/SCWM/SBST

5.Define Warehouse process Type (W97)
PATH:
SPRO-> IMG -> SCM EXTENED WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT -> EWM -> CROSS PROCESS SETTING-> WAREHOUSE TASK -> DEFINE WAREHOUSE PROCESS TYPE

6
- Define control indicators for determining warehouse process types (PTDI: 97)
PATH:
SPRO-> IMG -> SCM EXTENED WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT -> EWM -> CROSS PROCESS SETTING->WAREHOUSE TASK -> DEFINE CONTROL INDICATORS FOR DETERMINING WAREHOUSE PROCESS TYPES

7.Determine warehouse process type
PATH:
SPRO-> IMG -> SCM EXTENED WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT -> EWM -> CROSS PROCESS SETTING->WAREHOUSE TASK -> DETERMINE WAREHOUSE PROCESS TYPE

- Material master (MM01)—5760,5769 &5770.

11.Define put away strategies
Define storage type search sequence for put away (ST97)
PATH:
SPRO-> IMG -> SCM EXTENED WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT -> EWM ->GOODS RECEIPT PROCESS-> STRATEGIES-> STORAGE TYPE SEARCH->DEFINE STORAGE TYPE SEARCH SEQUENCE FOR PUTAWAY

18
12.Assign storage types to storage type search sequence
PATH: SPRO-> IMG -> SCM EXTENED WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT -> EWM ->GOODS RECEIPT PROCESS-> STRATEGIES-> STORAGE TYPE SEARCH->ASSIGN STORAGE TYPES TO STORAGE TYPE SEARCH SEQUENCE

13.Specify storage type search sequence for put away
PATH: SPRO-> IMG -> SCM EXTENED WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT -> EWM ->GOODS RECEIPT PROCESS-> STRATEGIES-> STORAGE TYPE SEARCH->SPECIFY STORAGE TYPE SEARCH SEQUENCE FOR PUTAWAY

TESTING:
1.Create purchase order (ME21N) ---- 4500003439

22
2.Create inbound delivery against to PO- (VL31N) ---- 180003443

23
3.Process Inbound delivery in EWM -> (/N/SCWM/PRDI) -----180003281

24
4.Create Put away task

If you see in below screen shot all products are moving in to one storage bin that is AK97-01-01. So our requirement is fulfilled by all products could be able to put away in a single with – General storage area filed.

Conclusion: I hope your understood the Put away rule- General storage area field application through above scenarios.
Thanks for reading please comment.
