WM process in Sales Order Stock

[former_member232086]

Please explain the WM activities related to the picking and PGI of Sales Order stock.

The unrestricted use stock is allocated to a sales order in the IM using 412-E movement (MB1B) and the same is visible under storage type 922 (TR-ZONE) and not under any bin location. The warehouse people need to be able to pick the stocks from any physical bin location they desire and the same should be reflected in the system.

How to do it, as long as normal bin locations does not show the sales order stocks?

Thanks for the help.

From WM's point of view, the warehouse doesn't need to know which specific pallet/bin is associated with the specific sales order, the only restriction is that the picked batch exists in the order special stock. The PGI is handled by SD, so again WM doesn't need to know.

WM only associates a pallet to a specific delivery if you are doing CrossDocking. In that case the assignment is relevant, but not in a normal sales order stock situation.

Don't know if I understood your question.

"For us, PGI is done by the WM team. And we don't have batch management (so, that part is not an issue). But picking is done by creating a transfer order in WM. At the time of picking, the WM guy has to specify the bin location from which the stock is to be picked... as long as the stock is only in the 922 storage type, they can't pick from the proper original bin location."

Ok, I understand now. Step by step:

• Do 412 E in MIGO, the system creates automatically a (internal) delivery of type HTP;
• Do LT03 for said HTP delivery and select the stock you want to transfer to special stock from 902 interface (or the 922 interface if the 412 was preceded by a 301/311 instead of a 101 in IM, I'll assume 902 for the next steps);
• The system posts the special stock in 902, and +/- in 922;
• Post goods issue for the HTP delivery and the system clears the 922 stock;
• Putaway the stock from 902 using normal WM transactions;
• The stock is available for picking in a specific storage bin, with the special stock assignment in the quant.

It's a lot of steps? Yes, but that's why I don't recommend any client tries to use SAP WM without a custom user interface that streamlines all this unnecessary work.

n our scenario, sales order stock booking does not happen at the time of goods receipt, but it happens after the stocks are moved to the warehouse (i.e., 412 is preceded by 311). Hence, the interface is 922. Could you please explain once again, the steps involved in the delivery, starting from TO creation for picking till goods issue, and also mention all the tcodes involved in these steps? I need to convey the same to the warehouse controller for shipments in layman terms...

Some of these steps are purely technical and don't make such sense from a business perspective (the HTP delivery is an internal SAP document with no real world counterpart). It will be very hard to explain this to a normal person. You'll probably just have to say: "Follow these steps and don't think about it.

• MIGO: Do 412 E in MIGO, the system creates automatically a (internal) delivery of type HTP;
• LT03: Do LT03 for said HTP delivery and select the stock you want to transfer to special stock from 922 interface. The system posts the special stock in 922, and another +/- in 922
• VL02N: Post goods issue for the HTP delivery and the system leaves only special stock in 922.
• LT09 (if you are using HU): Putaway the stock from 922 to the storage bin.

After that use normal transactions as you would use for plain stock:

• VL01N: Create outbound delivery for the sales order;
• VL06P: Create TO for outbound delivery (the system will find the special stock in the storage bin);
• LT12: Confirm TO;
• VL02N: Post goods issue.

Hi,

can you pls explain what is HTP delivery??? we are not using this concept in our organization.

thanks for the great help.

The HTP delivery is an internal technical SAP document. It's automatically created when you post the 412 E movement. It's not related to a real world document.

When you post the 412 E document, don't you see a sucess message saying "Delivery X was created"? That's the HTP delivery.

hi,

it is not showing while we are doing 412 in Mb1b what is showing is only document xxx is posted..do we miss any configuration from our side?

thanks for the help

That's because your storage location isn't HU managed. I don't have a non-managed system available to test your scenario, sorry.

Dear Vijesh ,

You IM posting has created relevant WM posting which you can view in storage type 922 ,

complete your WM  posting change in LU01 and clear all 922 bins.

once completed with posting change in WM , perform picking and post goods issue , hope it helps.

Thanks

Hi Vijesh

Can I know why you are performing the sales order stock using MB11 ( with 412 E movement types)

Can i know the scenario is this production good reciept or the purchase order goods reciept against your sales order .

in any case when you recieve you can check storage sequence which can place in your bin location. NO need to using Mb11 / Mb1b for sales order stock.

If you are using Mb11 for sales order stock problem is that IM level will have stock and 922 stotage type will hold all your posting change notice.

922 is interm storage type whcih is using posting change and standard does not check storage sequence for posting change. You need to manually select the bins ,for posting change.

can you explain what is driving factor in your business to use 412 E in MB11

Hi Arun,

The main purpose is to reserve the stock against an order and thereby to have a visibility on the balance stock existing ,like whether the available stock is reserved against any order or not.

we are not following ATP ,in the standard way.

Thanks,

Hi Vijesh   ,

Once you transfer materi through MB1B (412 E)  it goes to  storage type 922 . From there  you can transfer the material to Physical bin through LT10 .

Thanks  ,

Dear Vije,

Once you confirmed that transfer order(was created with reference to sales order outbound delivery)from physical bin to interim bin stock will be moved out of the interim bin, till you confirm stock will lying on the interim bin.

Dear Amala,

thanks answer...will be more helpful if you can explain little more..

what we did is created sale order and done stock blocking using MB1b 412 transaction..what is the next step needed?? we are new here and planning implement same to avoid some manual process.

Regards,

Vijesh

Dear Vije,

1.) If your material is batch enabled, then you have to select corresponding batch number in sales outbound delivery via batch determination tab, save then

2.) And to create Transfer Order, directly from delivery choose from Subsequent functions-->Create transfer order, System will copy all values from delivery like material, quantity, storage location, plant you have to select the put away in background(In this step, SAP System will propose source bin and corresponding interim bin automatically). By this step overall  picking status and over all WM status will be updated at delivery header level

3.) Save the transfer order and confirm the same.

4.) Post goods Issue can be done by either warehouse team or sales team.

R,

Amala
