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,

Create different pack spec for each type of quantity classification.

PS1 for box

PS2 for pallet.

Define two different logical conditions, one for quantity <= 20 and another one for quantity between 21 to 50.

LC1  qty <= 20

LC2  qty btw 21 to 50.

Define condition records and  with above logical conditions to determine the correct pack spec.

Hello Srinivas,

I dont think standard SAP allows us to create 2 different packspecs for a single material. I am unable to create two different packspecs in my system as per your recommendation.

Therefore, my original questions still remains: How do i set up various levels such that one level is specific to Box and another to Pallet.?

Is it possible in a standard packspec that i create 2 levels in such a way that only 1 level gets picked based on the quantity limit?

Hi Nikhil,

use different pack spec groups then system will allow you create multiple pack specs for the same material.

Hi Srinivas,

This does not work as well. First issue is that even after creating pack spec with different PS group, the condition record that i have to maintain at the header level is still the same and in this case, the system is not allowing me to create a new pack spec with a duplicate condition record.

Second, If i tweak the condition record a little, it does let me create a pack spec but it does not serve the purpose. The third issue is that even with 2 pack specs for a material where i have taken care of the quantity and levels in both the pack specs, the determination is not happening as expected. Only one pack spec gets determined.
