hi,

The warehouse is managed on a storage location level using Lean WM. Outbound processing within the scope of lean warehouse management typically comprises activities like the notification of goods to be supplied from a warehouse to a customer for which the outbound delivery serves as the reference document, picking and physical goods issue in warehouse, loading, goods issue and goods issue posting to IM, advising advanced shipping notifications to business partners and, obtaining a proof-of-delivery from the receiving business partner.

Config of WM

The SAP Warehouse Management application provides flexible, automated support to assist you in processing all goods movements and in maintaining current stock inventories in your warehousing complex. WM supports warehousing processes by making it possible for you to

Define and manage complex warehousing structures

Optimize material flow using advanced putaway and picking techniques

Process goods receipts, goods issues and stock transfers quickly and easily

In SAP R/3 a warehouse is structured as follows:

[Edit section] The Warehouse Number

A single warehouse number is sufficient to manage entire physical warehouse complex in SAP R/3.

IMG >Enterprise Structure > Definition > Logistic Execution > Define, copy, delete, check warehouse number > Copy/delete/check warehouse number

Transaction code: EC09

[Edit section] The Storage Location

In order to manage General goods movement process in the warehouse management, we need to create and assign a storage location to warehouse. .

IMG > Enterprise Structure > Definition > Material Management > Maintain Storage Location

Transaction code: EC09

[Edit section] The Storage Type

A warehouse number is subdivided into a variety of storage types. A storage type is defined by its physical or organizational features (for example, high rack storage area, bulk storage, and goods receipt areas). It can be defined on the basis of its organization characteristics.

IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Picking > Lean WM > Define Storage type

[Edit section] The Storage Bin

The storage bins indicate the exact position in the warehouse where goods can be stored. Each storage type and storage section consists of a row of storage spaces that are referred to in WMS as storage bins.

IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Picking > Lean WM > Define Storage Bin

[Edit section] The Quant

The quant serves to perform inventory management of a material at the storage bin.

IMG >Logistic Execution > Shipping > Picking > Lean WM > Define Quant

[Edit section] Assigning Warehouse No. to Plant-Storage Locations

By doing so, system can recognize which storage locations in Materials Management are controlled by the Warehouse Management system; you must assign the plants and the storage location to the warehouse number.

IMGEnterprise Structure >Assignment > Logistic Execution > Assign warehouse No. To plant/storage Location
