Partial SUs picking from Bulk storage

[Former Member]

Hello Experts ,

From Bulk storage, we are trying to pick partial SUs and when we created the TO , itu2019s not suggesting any SU for picking. We only have to confirm the partial SU number during the TO confirmation (Provided there are more than one partials SUs in bulk storage).This makes user to search for appropriate partial pallet in the whole storage bin to confirm the TO rather being suggested by the system which one to pick (In TO). Is this the standard behavior of Bulk storage? How do we manage these partial pallets in bulk storage? We have enabled the partial picking strategy for bulk storage. We have no batches for materials.

Please advise.

Thanks

Yes .As a rule Bulk storage does not support the partial quantities to be managed in the storage type.However you can still process the partials provided you need to pick partial SUs manually.SAP will not suggest what SU need to be picked.

You can also read this article for configuring the round off flag which may be helpful to you.

"As a rule, you would not manage partial pallet quantities in bulk storage areas. Partial pallet quantities should be picked from a corresponding area designated for partial quantities. The following example illustrates what kind of system behavior you can control using this switch.

The requirement quantity is 2.5 pallets; the quantity in the bin is 5 pallets:

1. ' ' allows the removal of 2.5 or 3 pallets, depending on the partial pallet setting and the setting for a return item.

2. 'X' allows the removal of 2 pallets; for the remaining half pallet, the system determines a suitable stock using the storage type search function. If there is no stock in the storage types listed, the half pallet can also be removed from the bulk storage area in a second item.

This setting is used in particular to avoid partial pallet quantities and only works in this manner if complete stock removal is set.

3. 'Y' allows the removal of one pallet. For the remaining 1.5 pallets, the system finds suitable stock using the storage type search function. The system once again finds a bulk storage area, and once again 1 pallet is removed in a second item. The system proceeds with the remaining half pallet as described under X above.

This setting is used to avoid partial pallet quantities and the creation of single TO items for each pallet during stock removal."
