Hi WM Experts,
I have the below setting in the Storage type search sequence configuration, please refer the snap shot.
In material master Stock placement field is maintained as blank.
Please let me know in which storage type the system will select while putaway?
Will it select the A or B sequence and the reason for the same?
Thankyou,
Ravi
Please post the screen with storage section search for storage types 012 and 013,
and after that I'll ask for more screens if required.

You need to insert search sequence for all storage types and you will solve your problem (assuming all is OK with SUT search).
If you need instructions for storage type maintenance please ask, I will provide.
In quick, just copy the existing one and only change storage type and save.
Create entries for 012, 013 and 014 storage types so all of them will work.
Hi
As the stypes are the same for both strategies, how do you know the system is following A instead of B ??

I beg to differ as all stypes maintained in the search string for B are also maintained as individual entries for A.
As the system search was successful (in that it found a bin for placement) there is no entry in the storage bin search log. So I ask again, how do you know which strategy the system has followed because there is nothing in this thread yet that tells me it followed one of the strats in A.
011 is also maintained in B (3rd entry) so the system could still have followed strat B. So you have still not explained how you know which strategy the system has followed? If the MMR WM1 view is blank, the system has definitely followed strat B and not A, so you need to look at the problem from a new angle and determine why 012 and 013 were not selected.
Are you using SU Management ?
Ravindran Ganesan What you call A and B is confusing, especially for newbies who are not familiar with this
I made the 2 sections a bit bigger (red color). The entries on the left (A) are used to search for target storage types, which are listed in the sequence on the right (B)
On the left you find the storage type indicators. They have to be entered in your material master.
This way you define in which strategy SAP will search when this material has to be put away.
And because you have not entered any storage type indicator in the stock placement field (unfortunately SAP used here 2 different names for the same indicator) SAP uses the very first strategy which is without storage type indicator.
It first searched in storage type 12, did not find a bin, then it search in storage type 13 and did not find a bin, came then to storage type 011 and found a bin and stopped searching.
Storage type search is not the only search that is carried out.
There are storage section searches and storage bin types which affect the bin that is finally found.
Not to forget the strategy for putaway, which has not yet been mentioned by you.
Right now we have much to less information about your setup to start posting meaningful answers
Hi
The sequence B will be used. Please note that sequence A will be used in the cases where the storage type indicator is maintained in the material master.
Thanks

Hi Ravindran
There is no sequence in the case of A. The setting is such that each putaway indicator is directly mapped to the corresponding storage type. As per the above screenshot materials with indicator 011 will be putaway in the Stype 011, and materials with indicator 012 will be putaway in Stype 012 etc. Please share the material master data to check further.
Thanks

When you try to create a TO (ex. LT01) as indicated by Manish, the system gives you the log and indicates also which strategy has taken into account and why...I think that the screen normally is bigger than that.
Anyway there are several things to consider apart the storage indicator in the material master WM1 and that can influence the serach of a storage bin:
- for example you should take into account capacity of the storage bins
- you should take into account if a storage unit type is allowed in a specific storage type/storage bin
- special stock, stock category ecc
- finally consider also the optimization of the strategy. When the system cannot find an adequate record in the table of storage type search it can look for another record according to the entries in this table
If stock placement indicator is maintained as Blank then it will fall under 'B' hence system will propose put away into 012,013,011 or 014 based on the availability of the empty bin
