User's Default storage location - Delivery

[antonio_bruno]

Hi,

How can i fix a default storage location for a specific delivery type? maybe also specific for user. I've found DLVLGORT (SU01) but doesn't work with (DELTSTOR).

Thanks and regards.

1) Assign a storage location determination rule to your delivery type. This can be done at the following customising:

> SPRO

   > Logistics Execution

     > Shipping

       > Picking

          > Determine Picking Location

               > Define Rules for Picking Location Determination

In here, choose a value = "YY" for the delivery type.

2) By choosing "YY" in step 1, this means that the system will use user exit EXIT_SAPLV02V_002 to determine the storage location. In this user exit, you can specify the storage location to be used.

Hope this helps.

Antonio,

This is an interesting requirement, can you give the reason / business justification?

Hi Antonio,

Create new Z Table with the combination of delivery type,plant,shipping point,storage condition.

EXIT_SAPLV02V_002

mahaboob, MoazzaM,

The storage location rule is assigned to the delivery type and based on this rule, the storage location is determined in delivery. How will you handle this storage location rule?

Hi TW

Did you mention my name here?

Hi MoazzaM,

Yes, I addressed you also, as you had liked mahaboob's post

It will be informative to hear from you.

Hi,

Why opt for creating an Ztable, when its possible to meet the requirement through standard way as explained by Noel above.

it will be an extra effort and unnecessary data maintenance. Noel's solution will meet this requirement, is what I feel.

Thanks

Hi TW

I like that post because I'd also suggest that solution. Creating Z table and maintaining combination in Z table and writing code in some userexit to determine storage location from that Z table is something different from standard storage location determination rule.

Hi MoazzaM,

Just for my knowledge am asking this. You say that, you like it because its different from std SL determination rule.

Is deviating from a std rule better than using the std function..? I have heard from many that, if possible we have to follow std configurations. Will be great to hear from your experience.

Thanks

Jobi,

I think Noel's suggestion is non-standard, requiring development.

I see some overlap between my post and his, there is a storage location rule that needs to be created and assigned to the delivery type, Noel explains that in point 1.

Hi

If we have to create new shipping point just for determining a storage location for one user only on other side we can do this with some customization and a Z table, I'd prefer Z table. Creating shipping point only for one user doesn't sound good to me. Everyone has his own views and this thing varies from company to company too.

Thank$

Hi TW,

Noel suggestion is standard. But need to use the User exit.  The storage location rule 'YY' is standard available in ECC 6.0, its facilitates the use of user exit. By using that, we can avoid the ZTable.

Hi Jobi,

thanks for your post! yes storage location rule YY is available but still requires coding (development). If you are clear, can you explain exactly what is to be done in the userexit, taking this requirement as an example?

Noel can you comment too.

Thanks!

Thanks for your help.

I'm talking with our developer to find the solution.

Antonio's requirement is:

"How can i fix a default storage location for a specific delivery type? maybe also specific for user. I've found DLVLGORT (SU01) but doesn't work with (DELTSTOR)."

So this is actually 2 requirements:

Requirement 1: Specific Delivery Type

Requirement 2: User specific

Requirement 1: The storage location rule is already assigned to the delivery type in the customising I specified above. So you would just need to out the following code in user exit EXIT_SAPLV02V_002:

ELGORT = '<StorageLocationValue>'.

Alternatively, you could also use:

IF IF_LAGOF-LFART = '<DeliveryTypeValue>'.

ELGORT = '<StorageLocationValue>'.

ENDIF.

Requirement 2: This requirement is not as easily met. In requirement 1, we have the delivery type readily available to use (in 2 places). However, we do not have authorisation objects readily available to us in the user exits. I can think of the following options.

a) Hard code the user names into the user exit. For example:

IF SY-UNAME = <'UserNameValue>'.

ELGORT = '<StorageLocationValue>'.

ENDIF.

Clearly, there is a disadvantage to this as if a new user comes onto the system, the code needs to be updated.

b) Create a Z authorisation object and put code akin to this in the user exit:

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT '<ZAuthorisationObjectValue>'

IF SUBRC = 0.

ELGORT = '<StorageLocationValue>'.

ELSE.

[Whatever the else logic is]

ENDIF.

I would be reluctant to use a standard authorisation object here because it may have impacts on other areas of the system. For example, user may suddenly not be authorised to do something elsewhere in the system that they should be able to so.

If the 2 requirements is actually 1 requirement and you want to determine the storage location based on the delivery type AND the user authorisation, then you combine the above code.

Fantastic Noel,

Really appreciate how well and perfectly you have given the solution.

Kudos to your helping nature

Thanks

Thanks Noel.

excellent noel! thanks! tw

Have a different Shipping Point for that delivery type so that you can default the storage location in configuration.  Else, you have to try with user exit.
