[WM] Putaway strategy for bulk storage type SU-managed

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi Gurus,

I need your help

I have a Bulk storage type with SU-managed. I would undestand the real behaviour of putaway strategy B.

1) Case 1: assume that in bulk storage type there are the followed bins (rows):

- in bin XX1 there is material AAA

- Bin XX2 is empty

In this situation if i receive material AAA, putaway strategy B chooses the bin XX1 by background processing - correct!

2) Case 2: assume that in bulk storage type there are the followed bins (rows):

- In Bin XX1 there is material AAA

- in Bin XX2 there is material AAA

- in Bin XX3 there is material AAA

In this situation if i receive material AAA, i don't undestand the behaviour of putaway strategy B. Seems that the system chooses in random way the bin (XX1, XX2 and XX3).

P.S: the storage unit type is one of default - E1.

Can you help me?

Thank very much

Hi Alessio,

What are the following config settings for your bulk storage type:

- Mixed Storage: I assume mixed storage is not allowed.

- Addn to Stock: This must be set to X...I assume your setting = X

- Block upon placement: Set this to '2' - block quant, not bin

- What does your block strage structure looks like?

Regards,

HI Hein, tahnk you for your response.

- Mixed Storage: X (because in one row i could have also different materials)

- Addn to Stock: X

- Block upon placement: empty

- What does your block strage structure looks like? i'm sorry but i don't undestand your question.

Thank you very much

You told

Addn to Stock: X
Block upon placement: empty

Then How can you have Case 2?

In Bin XX1 there is material AAA

Next time also stock goes to XX1 only not XX2 unless you overwrite manually.

What does your block strage structure looks like? i'm sorry but i don't undestand your question.

Go to OMM4 "Define-Block struct." and look No. SUs for your St. bin type, SUT & Bulk stor Ind.

In OMM4 i have set:

- Maximum number of stacks in a block = 999

- Maximum stack height in the block = 99

- Maximum number of storage units in the block = 9999

my question is: in case of, the same material (AA1) is in more bins (XX1, XX2, XX3), when i receive a new quant of material AA1 in background mode, the strategy which bin chooses (XX1, XX2, or XX3?). I made more tests and seems that the choice is random.

Then i don't undestand the real aim of "Block upon placement".

Thank you to all

I check the parameter "Block upon placement". It should block the quant during putaway procedure. But it is influential for case 2 shown up.

Hi,

I have a question.

Block upon placement is only blocking the quant during putaway procedure but not bin.

In Bin XX1 there is material AAA. So, Next time also stock should go to XX1 but with different Quant number.

But it is going to XX2 and then to XX3. Why?

My stock situation in bulk storage type is:

Bin XX1 with quant 1000 of material AAA

BIn XX2 with quant 1001 of material AAA

Bin XX3 with quant 1002 of material AAA

Now i have a TR (tranfer requirements) for put away of x piece of material AAA (source st. type 901 - good receipt area; dest. st. type 002 - bulk zone).

Now, when i convert TR in TO using background processing, i would know the logic of choice of destination bin; Does the system choose XX1 or XX2 or XX3?

thank
