Hi,

Can anyone explain the usage of Evaluate Warehouse Item in storage type search, storage section search and storage bin type search in SAP EWM.

Hi Jobi,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I'm looking for EvlWhsItem settings to change the search sequence of storage type and storage section during put-away WT creation.

Hi,

I am afraid Jobi means something else then the field you are referring to, as this has not really something to do with slotting, at least AFAIK.

The evalution points can be used to modify the typical putaway search, that is the sequence of storage type - storage section - storage bin type.

Following example, where we stick with just two objects, storage type and storage section.

You have storage types 001 and 002, both with section S01 and S02. In both storage types you want to use S01 for the fast moving items, slow movers should be in S02.

No using the standard pattern (find a storage type, then the section in this type), you find at first 0001/S001, then 0001/S002. BUT for a fast moving item, which you might allow in S002, when there is no space available anymore in S001, you would prefer to find storage type 0002 and section S001 in there. And this is what you can do with evaluation points.

In this example you give 0001 10 points and 0002 20 points.

The section S001 in 0001 and in 0002 you give 10 points, the section S002 in both storage types you give 50 points. The system adds these points and sorts the storage type / storage section according these points. And the one with the lowest combinations wins.

0001 (10) + S001 (10) = 20 points

0001 (10) + S002 (50) = 60 points. And this is less good then

0002 (20) + S001 (10) = 30 points.

The less points, the better.

In order to use this, you need to set the points (and you can extend this to the storage bin type) and set the flag "Val. f. Bin Determin" in the setting "Define Warehouse Number Parameters for Putaway".

The evaluation points are used in putaway only if it is activated in the warehouse configuration for putaway. Otherwise, they will be used in rearrangement only.
