Fixed bin replenishment in HU managed storage location

[Former Member]

We are using LP21 and LP22 for replenishment of a fixed bin picking area. The storage location for this warehouse is an HU managed location. Replenishment works just fine, but I see no way to have replenishment add to the HU if one exists.

Master data for Examples:

Max bin qty on material = 50

Min bin qty on material = 5

Replenish qty = 40

Example one:

Stock level = 0

TR from LP21 creates TO for qty 40. The entire HU from the source bin is moved to destination bin. The fixed bin now has qty 45 in HU 1000000123.

Example two:

Stock level = 2(all inside HU 1000000125)

TR from LP21 creates TO for qty 40. The entire HU from the source bin is moved to destination bin. The fixed bin now has qty 42. This results in qty 2 in HU 1000000125 and 40 in 1000000127.

We would like the qty 40 added to HU 1000000125 in example 2. Is this possible with std config?

Hi Myles,

Pretty sure not under standard config. We use a modified LP22 to handle special cases of replenishment. I would expect you will need to do the same. Taking LP22 and adding functionality for 'addition to SU or HU' during the TR or TO creation should do the trick.

Csaba,

You caught me on my fuzzy math:)

It did seem to me that there was no way of combining the HU. Thanks for validating that assumption for me. Do you think there is an exit or BADI that might help facilitate packing the contents of an HU into another HU if it exists? I did not see one that fit the description, but I did not do any further testing or debugging. Or do you think the approach to combine HUu2019s by repacking one HU into another HU would be better off to implement as a separate program that could be run in batch? Your thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Example one:
Stock level = 0
TR from LP21 creates TO for qty 40. The entire HU from the source bin is moved to destination bin. The fixed bin now has qty 45 in HU 1000000123.

My calculation: 0 + 40 = 40

Example two:
Stock level = 2(all inside HU 1000000125)
TR from LP21 creates TO for qty 40. The entire HU from the source bin is moved to destination bin. The fixed bin now has qty 42. This results in qty 2 in HU 1000000125 and 40 in 1000000127.

No, as per my best knowledge there's no standard solution for this - I think the very purpose of SU or HUM in WMS is that you want to manage the stock via SUs or HUs, the system cannot find out own its on whether you additionally want to repack your goods during putaway.

In my opinion, you have to solve it manually or create your own development.
