[former_member705458]

Hello Experts,

There is one business requirement.

Bin has 100 FT3 capacity, but client required to fill up to 80% of this storage type.

Please suggest any solution.

Note: Business not aggreged for reduce Bin size or increase volume at product master.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and will consider the above BADI..

Yes, 80 % of storage bins.

Also could you through some light on how system will consider the volume of HU = Volume of Product + Volume of packaging material(i.e wrap roll)

I will try to explain with one example.

A product maintained as 80 cft at product master, another 20 cft occupy by wrap roll during pack) so after pack, total volume become 80+20=100 cft, after putaway, physically no space available at bin as bin volume is 100cft, but system calculate 80 cft only for this bin. (cft =cubic feet)

I want system should also calculate as 100 cft. I expecting there is some provision should be there in SAP to address this type of issue.

Please suggest, how to achieve this.

Regards

Rahman

Hi Rahman,

Is the requirement to fill up to 80 % of the storage type or of the particular storage bins?

If you are referring to the bins, I think this should be possible with a custom check in BAdI /SCWM/EX_CORE_PTS_CAPACHECK. It is quite tricky though, you should check the documentation as well as the information that's handed into the BAdI in which situation as it can differ from call to call, depending on the data situation during WT creation / confirmation. Also, implementing the BAdI will of course not influence the actually available capacity in the storage bin, so that the displayed information may be confusing sometimes.

I cannot think of a reliable solution without a development (although split during putaway may cover your scenario), as the clean standard solution is still to decrease the max. volume of the bin.

Best regards,

Jonas
