Description
Within mySAP Enterprise Resource Planning (mySAP ERP) and mySAP Supply
Chain Management (mySAP SCM), Logistics Execution offers a range of
functions for all logistics processes, including Warehouse Management, shipping,
and transportation.
For goods receipts from production, for example,
the standard system only offers a goods receipt posting for the work order with
subsequent putaway. For sales order processing, on the other hand, the stock
removal is usually based on the goods issue.
Special requirements in the area of stock control are often provided by external
systems such as warehouse control units (WCU) or forklift control systems (FCS).
You can connect these kinds of systems from specialized providers to SAP ECC
using the WMS-WCU interface. Configuration of this interface is also part of
SCM631.
The warehouse number is the organizational unit at the highest level in
Warehouse Management in SAP ECC.
The storage type is used to map a storage space that forms a separate unit within a
warehouse number, spatially and/or organizationally. A standard system already
contains a certain set of preconfigured storage types, for example: high rack, fixed
bin, and bulk storage types.
The interim storage areas play a special role and can generally be recognized
at first glance in the standard system by their key (which starts with a 9). These
storage areas form a sort of bridge to Inventory Management. Goods receipt area
and goods issue area are typical examples of interim storage areas.
Note: An exception to this convention is the interim storage area 100,
which is used to connect Warehouse Management to Production Control
via the WW-PP interface.
Every goods movement that affects both Warehouse Management and Inventory
Management is processed using an interim storage area. An everyday example is a
goods receipt for a purchase order, which is posted first in Inventory Management.
Even if there is no need to divide the area any further within
the storage type, you must create at least one storage section for each
storage type.
The picking area is on the same hierarchical level as the storage section and can be
used to subdivide the area of a storage type to control the stock removal process.
Unlike the storage section, the picking area is an optional organizational unit.
Note: To call the log of the copy operation, choose Utilities under
the menu option Log analysis or Extras ? Techn. Log. You can
also display all of the tables assigned to the organizational object
warehouse number. Choose Extras Associated tables.
Up to 10 characters are available for constructing the storage
bin coordinates. You can use alphanumeric characters and a selection of other
characters (such as hyphens) for the coordinates.
The system can use the storage bin types in the storage unit type check to
determine whether the load carriers intended for the current putaway activity
are suitable for the storage bin that was determined by the system,
Block/Unblock Several Storage Bins Simultaneously (transaction code LS06).
To create a large number of similar storage bins, you can use the transaction for automatically
creating storage bin structure (transaction code LS10).
Using sort variables, which you assign to a storage type in Customizing, you can
achieve cross-line stock putaway, that is, putaway across the direction of the
shelves or aisles.
Define the actual storage bin structure for the storage bin generation in
the Bin definition section. It is advisable to enter the coordinates for the
first new storage bin in the Start value field. In the next step, enter the
structure of the character sequence of the coordinates in the Template field.
Indicators are used for alphabetic characters (A), numeric characters (N),
and other characters that remain unchanged during the incrementation of the
start value (C). Example: The coordinates A-01-01 based on the template
ACNNCNNCCC.
Caution: You must always fill out all 10 places of the field. If you
do not need to use all of the places, enter the indicator C in the
unused positions.
The storage types make up the actual storage spaces (such as high rack or fixed bin
storage, goods receipt area) in the system.
The warehouse number and its substructure (storage types, storage
sections, picking areas, and storage bins) are used to map the spacial relationships.
You do not, however, have to connect every storage location that
has been created within a plant in Inventory Management to a warehouse number.
Certain stocks -- for example, packaging materials or consumable materials that
are stored in a few fixed bins -- do not require storage bin management.
The content of a storage bin is called a quant in SAP ECC.
The criteria for quant formation/splitting are:
-Material number
-Stock type or category
-Special stock assignment
-Plant and storage location
and, where applicable,
-The material's batch number
Note: The indicator M in Customizing for the storage type corresponds
to an indicator in the material master record. If this is activated in the
material master, the system permits addition to stock for this material
and this material only.
Warehouse Management movement types influence the interim storage area to be used (the
organizational bridge between Inventory Management and Warehouse Management).
If, for certain processes, you want to use the document date or posting date as the goods receipt date
in the quant data record, choose Warehouse Management
Interfaces Inventory Management Define Movement Types, and then choose
LE-WM Interface to Inventory Management. In the table that links the Inventory
Management and Warehouse Management movement types using a reference
movement type, you will see column GR Date. In this field, you can assign either
the indicator 1 (document date) or indicator 2 (posting date) in this field. If the
field remains empty, the system uses the creation date of the goods receipt posting
(day's date) as the goods receipt date.
If you use the FIFO strategy, note that the goods receipt date of the oldest quant is
always used if there is an addition to stock during putaway. This means that the
goods receipt date of added quant is lost. It is therefore recommended that you
do not use addition to stock during putaway if you want to remove stock using
the FIFO strategy.
The stringent FIFO strategy goes beyond the scope of normal stock removal
strategies because it always takes effect across all storage types.
Which options are available for return transfers of remaining quantities when
there is a full stock removal requirement?
Answer:
Return transfer to the source bin
Putaway in another bin
Remain in destination storage bin
