In WM, for one movement type, could we restrict storage types

0 Kudos

Business requirement is as below:

While doing 319 movement type in WM, System should not propose some storage types(ex:10,20,30)

as a source storage type while creating a transfer order. As in the storage type search strategy is having all storage types(***) in that warehouse.

Can we restrict like this. Could you please suggest me on this..

Hello,

your problem here is that SAP is supporting only 31 or so storage types in the storage type search.

And to answer your question, there is no "exclude storage type" function within the search.

So you have two possibilities.

1.) Follow Jacobs advise and limit the amount of storage types and make use of more storage sections. It is propably only a question of grouping the storage areas in a smart way, having some storage types and more sections.

Likewise you could setup a storage type for finished goods one for semi finished goods and another one for raw materials. Then group the sections. Under Finished goods propably stuff that needs to be stored in a freezer and other that can stay under normal storage conditions.

2.) Make use of a custom table to store all storage types you want to have and a ABAP in the user exit MWMTO004 to consider all those storage types from standard customizing table and the additional in the custom table.

Cheers

Hello Uwe,

We are trying with user exit MWMTO008. It is not triggering.

wondering how big the warehouse space or type of storage structure you have which require 75 storage type . Could you please help us to know which type of industry you are working / warehouse belongs to also if possible the physical/ operation process which leads to creation of 75 storage type

As far as solution to your query is concern " you can define a reference movement type in 319 and can define a separate storage type search against that reference movement type however in standard you have provision to define search upto 30 storage type so you need to revisit your enterprise structure definition.

Hi Sridhar,

There is an option to exclude storage types irrespective of Movement types under the control for Stringent FIFO.

But, if your requirement is to make it work only for movement type 319, they you are left with the options suggested by UWE.

Thanks,

Why not just remove the "***" and only add the specific storage types (in the order you want them checked) that you want the system to look at?

The "***" is simply there to include all storage types, it is not mandatory to maintain "***". It is only added in a scenario where you want to check all storage types.

If the storage types are not included in the storage type search strategy for the movement type the system shouldn't look there...

Hi,

It is possible with the use of field "Refrence storage type search" in the WM movement type definition.

1. Firstly, you link the W/h + st. type with Replenishment mvm type (which should be already there)

2. Then you maintain the Ref st. type search in WM mvm type

3. in OMLY, for the w/h + A (picking) + ref st. type search from above step = Assign the order of storage types that you want.

This setting would be applicable for all the replenishment done with movement 319.

If you are doing production supply, then I would adivce create a new movement by copying 319 and also create a new storage type by copying 100.

Hello Sushant,

We can't add manually all storage types excluding required 3 st type, because we are having nearly 75 storage types.

Is this in test system or production? If its in test system you might want to remove most of your 75 storage types and create storage sections within lesser storage types. I highly doubt the physical layout of the warehouse would justify 75 different storage types. Storage sections are a logical way to define different sections within a storage type.
