HOW MANAGE PUTAWAY BLOCK OF SOME SPECIFIC STORAGE BINS SECTIONS

Hi to everybody, I'm facing one issue and before develop a "custom" solution I was searching if the EWM standard support this requirements.

In some automatic warehouse that I need to manage with SAP EWM & SAP MFS i need to manage the lock of some specific storage bins single sections.

In my test system I mange 4 section for the father (main storage bins). The child sub-bins are showed in the system with the additional "/1", "/2", "/3", "/4".

The physical rack layout that I'm implementing assume that some sections of some specific storage bins are blocked (probably there are some physical objects interference that don't permit to use that places).

Seems that this scenario will be quite common in some project layout.

So I must manage to lock only the "/4" child sub-bin for "PUTAWAY" and "STOCK REMOVAL". In my tests seems to me that the EWM standard permit to execute the "PUTAWAY BLOCK" and the "STOCK REMOVAL" block only with the selection of the main storage bins.

This cause that all the child sub-bins are moved to the "PUTAWAY BLOCK" status. By using the EWM MONITOR seem that I can't select the single child sub-bin for set a "PUTAWAY BLOCK" only in this specific sub-bin.

I assume this limitation is caused because the standard creates all the child sub-bins at the first putaway in the main storage bin and delete all the child sub-bins when the last HU is removed from the section. After the deletion of all the child sub-bins one specific "PUTAWAY" block is also deleted.

So I want to know if there is a work-around for manage in some way my requirement or If i need to develop something to solve my issue.

I add the picture of the EWM MONITOR screen ( "Stock and Bin -> Storage Bin" node ) where I test the scenario describe above. Thanks to everybody for the help!

We have exact same situation and we are considering using BAdI: Filter and Sort Possible Storage Bins. We could create a custom table for specific Bin/Section that are blocked for put away and look up this table in this bad and remove any bin proposed by SAP in this list.

Hi Sunil & Juergen, thanks for the good answers and suggestions.

I had solve the requirement many months ago by creating some enhancements in the standard FM used by the monitor for BLOCK and UNBLOCK operations:

/SCWM/BIN_PICK_FREE_MON

/SCWM/BIN_FREE_MON

I add a custom table and in the monitor display operation and strategy methods I merge the standard query with my custom table and it work great and completely integrated with the standard.

Regards,

Marco

Hi,

instead of building something probably quite complex: you know upfront the bins in which the block for these sections have to be set, yes? Then why not assign these bins a separate bin type? With a different segmentation? Instead of 4 segments, only 3 will be created. Then all this blocking / unblocking stuff is not necessary.
