SAP EWM Creation of packing specification for Quantity Classification

[nikhil_kumar9]

Hello Experts,

I am working on the Quantity Classification and my requirement is to set up QC in such a way that if the stock comes in Boxes, it should go to a storage type B001 and if it comes in Pallets, it should go to P001.

The challenge is in setting up the packing specification. How do i set up various levels such that one level is specific to Box and another to Pallet.

Example:

Upto 20 PC = Box

Upto 50 PC = Pallet

I am using the Target and Min qty in the pack spec and have 2 levels. Is this the right way to go?

Also, what is the different between the "qty classification' which is mentioned in the General section of Storage Type and "PutawayQtyClass" which is in the Putaway Control section.

Hi Nikhil,

First you define 3 quantity classification Indicators for e.g. A, B & C and assigned UoM according to your requirement.

A - Piece (EA/KG)

B - BOX

C - Pallet

You should define 3 level in you packaging specification.

Define as below:

Level 1 - 1 EA

Level 2 - 1 BOX = 10 EA (e.g.)

Level 3 - 20 BOX = 1 Pallet

Assign the same quantity classification indicator at the respective storage types. B to B001 and P to P001.

Define your stock removal strategies with the storage type search sequence and quantity classification.

Thanks,

Sandip

Dear Sandeep,

Thanks for coming back on this.. Please find the details below:

Define your stock removal strategies with the storage type search sequence and quantity classification.: I am trying putaway in this case.

First you define 3 quantity classification Indicators for e.g. A, B & C and assigned UoM according to your requirement. : Done.

Assign the same quantity classification indicator at the respective storage types. B to B001 and P to P001: Done

You should define 3 level in you packaging specification: Done. During putaway my expectation is that the system should pack the stock as per quantities that are defined at various levels and should not create nested HUs. As of now, nested HUs are getting created as a result of having multiple levels.

For example:

Level 1: Packing in a Box - If the receipt is upto 20 quantities, it should get packed in a BOX.

Level 2: Packing in a Pallet - If the receipt is more than 10 but less than 50, it should get packed in a Pallet.

Question is, is it really possible to achieve this using packspecs?

Also, what is the different between the "qty classification' which is mentioned in the General section of Storage Type and "PutawayQtyClass" which is in the Putaway Control section.
