WM search strategy

[Former Member]

I want the system to place a material in a bin,in such a way that the bin should contain only one material code & different stock type like Q,S & R only.

It should not allow multiple material into the bin.

What strategy can be adopted for this requirement

Will it work if i give strategy addition to existing stock(I) & mixed storage

Hi,

You can consider Fixed Bin strategy to allow materials putaway in fixed bins!!

No we need to work with I only,bcoz the bin will vary

Do u mean to say that, the system will alow to post same material in the same bin with different quant.It will not allow any other material in the bin?

Hi,

Well to put it this way, if fixed bin strategy requires more storage space (and hence bins) you can physically club the bins to be defined as a single bin to manage the material per bin, this avoids other materials enter these bins (if your storage is compact than bulk)

If it cannot work, then you need to change the program coding, that any strategy other than fixed bin will allow other materials to be putaway in same bins. Manual placement would be a bad option for you unless client is ok with it.

Very simple my requirement.

No fixed bin

I give I in storage type.I have material A & B. BIN A & BIN B

I do GR.The material A should be placed in BIN A & material Bin B.

When i do GR for material A as Q stock,it should goto bin A.Will the system allow the Q stock to goto bin A.

For this MIxed storage should be activated or not?

mixed stock means different materials, or different batches of the same material, or different storage units.

Just press F4 in the mixed storage field to see which indicator controls what.

Mixed stock does not talk about quality statuses.

Why dont you just test it, leave the mixed storage field empty, then create a TO with LT01 and move unrestricted stock to a storage bin, folllowed by a LT01 to move move blocked stock to the same bin.

If SAP does not allow it, then it will give you an error message, otherwise you should see both stocks in the same bin.

The system is clear,it will not allow diffferent stock type or different materials if the MIXED storage is not activated.

The only way i think is to work with user exit.
