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.

I also went through couple of posts where people have already discussed about the the QC.

Did not find a comprehensive solution referring the posts above. Can anyone help me with all the config steps that would be required to set up quantity classification during putaway and picking?

Hi Nikhil,

To maintain the different QCs, it would required to have the different packaging specifications.

this can not be supported straightway until unless implement the enhancements ( BAdI).

check the BAdIs ' /SCWM/IF_EX_PS_DET_DETERMIN & /SCWM/IF_EX_PS_DET_EVALUATE' to determine the suitable packaging specification as per the QC.

Hi CK,

Thanks for this. I will go through this and get back in case i come across any issues.

As of now, i am trying to test a simple scenario to see if quantity classification works.

I have the below data setup and config:

1. Pack spec maintained with single level. The QC indicator is maintained in the warehouse tab of the level.

2. Condition record maintained under condition type 0IBD. (Mentioning this as i had seen you maintaining OWHT in one of your posts.

3. Receive the ID in base UoM.

Config:

1. Quantity Classification indicator mentioned at the storage type level(both General and Putaway)

2. Storage type search sequence - Single storage type with the quantity classification.

3. Optimize access strategy checked to consider QC

Even then when i create a warehouse task, the system is proposing a different storage type altogether which is not even in the search sequence. I have even tried to limit the search by HU type and Bin type assignment but that also is not helping.

Is there anything else that i might be missing out on?
