Picking through strategy M (small and large quantities)

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Gurus

we are using picking strategy as M (small and large quantities). In the materials, we have have defined control quantity as 30 cs. So when a transfer order is created for more than 30 cs, system picks from 001 storage type and if TO quantity is less than 30 cs, system picks from 002 storage type. This is working fine.My picking sequence is: 001 then 002. But when there is no stock in 001, system doesnt suggest to go and pick from 002 automatically.

we would like system to go to storage type 002 and pick from there if there isn't any stock left in 001. I need this urgently, how should I make this work.

Regards

Madhu.

Hi Sandeep,

Check the Storage type search seq sequence in storage type search seq . first storage should be the storage type where u are going to store smallest quantity; for the second storage type in the sequence you enter the storage type for the medium size quantity, and so on..........

In your scenario for strategy-m the seq has to be smaller stype to higher. so it should be 002 and then 001. so the system pick up all small qty from 002 and then moves to 002. any alteration you need probably need to use user exit.

Hi,

Include *** at the end of the picking sequence. This is the only option that was provided in an SAP note. This will make the search strategy look into the small storage type when there is no quantity in the large storaget type.

Award points if useful.

Thanks

Hi,

Please check Vineet Kiumar's answer:

(SAP behaves properly, sorrowfully you seem to have little chance to solve this problem via strategy 'M').
