WM - Use packaging quantity to rounding transfer requests

[louis_molling]

Dear All,

This is my first message on this forum, please excuse me for my bad english (I'm French).

I would like automaticaly round up the transfer requests quantity when I use the replenishment for production (LT01 -> mvt type 319 or LP12).

In my compagny we have one main wharehouse by plant with some productions building. Manufacturers ordering raw material to main warehouse using LT01 or LP12. For example, for make a finished good, they need 900 pc of raw material M01. When they processing LP12, the system generate a transfer request for 900 pc but in main wharehouse M01 is packed in carton of 1000 pc and this information is entered in the data palletizing WM view 2. I would like the system generates a transfer request of this rounded quantity.

For information, putaway strategy into productions storages types is F "fixed bin" and I can't change this strategy.

I hope you could understand my problem

Do you know if it is feasible in the system. If yes how to do?

Thanks much for your answers

What is your base unit, and what is the WM unit of measure.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

My base unit is Pieces and my WM unit is the same. I already thought to define a WM unit corresponding to a carton but in this case the system will generate a TR for 0.9 WM unit. Isn't it?

If the boxes are not refelected in the system as quants then my ideas:

- you solve that on the SU there will be as many quants as boxes

- you can use an exit to solve your problem.

- warehouse staff overwites the to be removed quantity when converting the TR to TO (if TO is created directly from LP12 then it is not an option).

Thanks,

At moment, wharehouse staff overwrite manually the quantity each TR when they are converted to TO but it take many time.

Use an exit is my ultimate solution.

Could you explain your first idea because I'm not sure I understood everything

If you created the quants as per box and not as per pallet during putaway, this could solve your stock removal problem (complete removal of the quant) . However, I think this would be a little bit dummy solution 'cause you could not move the pallet as a whole.

You could also create the quants as per box and then assign them to the SU (pallet). W/o enhancmenet this would be additional manual work.

I also do not like to use development if it is not necessary but in this case I think you should write a code for your stock removal to solve this rounding problem . Of course, only if you cannot find a standard solution / better solution.

Thanks much.

But in main warehouse storage type mixed storage is not allowed. If I create one quant per box I must have one box by storage bin and is not possible.

I hoped I could find a standard solution but it seems impossible. I think I will abandon

Thanks all for your answers benevolent
