Pallet Placement !!

[Former Member]

Placement Strategy Required:

One bin should not hold different materials. Bin can hold different quants of same material depending

on the space available in the bin.

Strategy should cover both the below cases.

Case1:

PO has only one line item. Material X ordered qty is 500ea. Pallet size is 100ea.

Now the system should first propose an old bin containing X from different batch if space available

in the bin for the pallet else it should propose new bins for all pallets of X.

Case2:

PO has many line items for different materials like X,Y,Z etc. Ordered qty is different for all the materials.

Pallet size is different for all materials.

Now the system should propose respective bins one by one for all the pallets of different materials.

System should not propose same bin for pallets of different materials.

Old or new bins proposed for the material pallet can hold only same material wrt the space available in the bin.

Note: The system should not propose a bin(old/new) if the full pallet cannot be placed in that bin.

Hi

Say for ex: you have fixed bin(F), Near picking bin(K) and Open (C) storage types.

Try fixed bin 1 for material X, bin 2 for material 2 and so on? Maintain the palletization data in WM2 in the material master and the max quantity (number of EA per pallet*number of pallets that can be stored in the fixed bin) All the fixed bins will belong to a fixed storage type with addition to existing stock. So according to the palletization data the system would create lines in the TO and if the bin is fully utilized it would check in the next storage type for empty bins either in the near picking bins or open storage type whichever you configure.
