What is the difference between Storage Type Role H and J

[ramesh_n8]

Hi All,

Any one can please explain the difference between the storage type role H - automatic storage retrieval (material flow control) and J - automatic warehouse (controlled by MFS).

Hi Ramesh

Both these storage types roles are used in automated warehouse. If warehouse is having automated storage area and conveyor belts we have to map the storage type with above mentioned roles.

Example storage area role - J

Retrieval/ Conveyors - H

whenever we have the WO from these area we will get MFS as the warehouse order creation rule.

I hope you are clear.

let me know if you have more query.

Hello Jobi,

to my experience, the fixed finding of warehouse order creation rule 'MFS' is not given anymore. Since EWM 9.2 you can assign your own warehouse order creation rule.

These are the differences between roles H and J that I am aware of:

• Usage of multi-depth storage is permitted for storage type role J, only.
• Special MFS multi-depth storage putaway strategy for role J: Fallback implementations for BAdIs check for storage type role J.
• Deletion of entry in /SCWM/MFSHUMOVE in case HU-WT is confirmed and the destination storage type role does not equal role H.

Kind regards,
