Multiple batches in HU-Pallet strategy not working

[basha_shaik7]

Hi All,

I have pallet strategy activated for the storage type. Put away strategy is working fine when I pack single batch in the single HU its triggering correctly to storage type.

If I pack multiple batches in single HU its triggering to normal storage type.

Please let me know if I am missing any configuration or its a standard behavior.

Multiple batches with Single HU

Single batch single HU

Hi,

"what I understand from above explanation from Jurgen and Aslam ,we need to have each HU for for each batch or we need to pack it again."

Technically you could also putaway a mixed pallet without POSC. There is a flag in the warehouse process type, "Select HU w/o Storage Process". If this flag is set, in the above scenario the system would create a direct HU WT. The question is do you really want this for everything.

An alternative would be to pack the batches separately. Packing it "again" would probably mean on a work center, which again means POSC.

But in general I would recommend to think about this putaway scenario and what types of material you have there. Pallet storage, addition to stock, add to stock level on highest HU AND mixed storage with different batches - why do you use a warehouse management system at all? Just throw it all on one heap. That is just as good.

Hi Juergen,

I have one similar situation, but putaway strategy still working but wrong destination bin.

Example 2 cases:

- HU with single batch -> put away strategy ok, system propose right destination bin.

- HU with multi. batches -> put away strategy ok, but wrong destination bin.

Can you suggest me some configuration (Storage type, Warehouse Process Type...) that needs in this case, so that system propose same rule for HU multi. batch as HU same batch

Hello,

What is the mixed storage setting for your storage type? You need to check and setup correctly as per your need.

Hi Aslam,

Thanks for reply both the feilds are blank

Hello,

what is reason to use put away rule as addition to existing stock?

Normally with pallet strategy , we use next empty bin strategy.

Also, you have setup addition to existing stock level ? Why?

Can you test with next empty bin with no additional o existing stock setup if you don't have any specific need for these?

see below standard setup for pallet storage in SAP EWM

Hi Aslam,

I tried with above settings but still, I am not able to do put away in the desired storage type but if I try manually I am getting below error "No valid bin types found (storage type: R001, HU type: )"

Hi Aslam,

One more point, for single batch in HU for inbound delivery its working perfectly. if for same HU one more batch(of same materail) is added its giving error "No valid bin types found (storage type: R001, HU type: )"

Hi Minh,

Thats standard behaviour what we have done as per Jurgen we have activated "HU without storage process" indicator in the warehouse process type 1010. configuration in cross process settings and now we are able to create HU with multiple batches and multiple products as we are creating HU warehouse task its not possible in product warehouse task.

Hi Juergen/Aslam,

Thank you very much for you inputs and sorry for the delay in the response. As suggest by Juergen we are going with "HU without storage process" now we are able to create HU with multiple batches and multiple products as we are creating HU task.

Thanks Once again.

Hi Basha,

Can you give me some configuration about this case, I meet the similar case like you

- HU with 1 Batch -> Putaway strategy run to right Bin

- HU with 2 batches -> Putaway strategy run to wrong Bin

Hello

You need to setup HU WT for put away in POSC.

I setup POSC like below for my working case of mixed HU with different batches.

Hi Jurgen/Aslam,

Thanks for the detailed explanation, we are not using any POSC as of now , Our process is starts with IBD-Packing batches in HU-Goods Receipt-WT creation-confirm.

We don't have packaging specification as of now.

what I understand from above explanation from Jurgen and Aslam ,we need to have each HU for for each batch or we need to pack it again.

Please correct me If my understanding is correct.

Why is that? The system is by standard of course searching for each individual batch (that would maybe clearer if the full log is displayed, although even then you need more info). So in that moment the HU type information from your HU is not used anymore (the system expects that you repack, but if you have no pack spec information, no HU type is known). That is the reason why this storage type is not used (as there is an HU type check active).

When you have a single batch, the HU type info from your existing HU is used, but not for a mixed HU

Hello

Additional information to above.

System can also consider HU type from your mixed HU having more than one batches. It will also need discussion how do you store pallets in your warehouse and do you need one HU WT for one pallet to do the put away , or you need to first repack individual batches first.

I just tested with one HU WT put away for mixed pallet as well. This you can control in POSC if you need to have HU WT for put away of HU . I setup to have HU WT for put away then system won't look for the repack . It will create one HU WT for one pallet to do the put away, and follow your put away pallet strategy.

See below test- System creates one HU WT for put away for mixed HU as well.

If you have setup product WT for put away in POSC then yes you will receive error message like you are getting. Here system will look for the HU type at item level and will ended setting HU type as blank .

Test below

HU 7000000381 is mixed HU with two batches.

Put away failed for this. Reason already explained by Juergen.

Hi,

besides the indeed a little bit strange storage type settings (I would expect that you do not use addition to stock in a storage type with this strategy, even if it is technically possible), you do have a different problem, and that is visible in the log with your multiple batches with single HU. Now, you do not see the complete log in your screenshot, but the sixth line from the top says it all: "No valid bin types found (storage type: R001, HU type: )". There is a blank behind HU type, that means that there is none.

Why is that? The system is by standard of course searching for each individual batch (that would maybe clearer if the full log is displayed, although even then you need more info). So in that moment the HU type information from your HU is not used anymore (the system expects that you repack, but if you have no pack spec information, no HU type is known). That is the reason why this storage type is not used (as there is an HU type check active).

When you have a single batch, the HU type info from your existing HU is used, but not for a mixed HU.
