Requirements

You must have the storage section check active. This check depends on the strategy you have
chosen. It can be implemented for all the putaway strategies, with the exception of the Fixed Bin
Strategy.

Actions

Set the required parameters for the "Storage section check" in the sequence specified:

1. Storage section indicator

You can assign a storage section indicator to each material. This indicator enables you to have
materials placed into storage in special storage sections.

You define the valid storage section indicators in the corresponding table.

2. Storage section search

For each storage section indicator, you can have up to ten storage sections in one storage
type. During putaway, the system first looks for a bin in the first storage section; if it does not find a
suitable bin here, it goes on to the next section, and so on.

3. Activate the storage section search.

Activate Storage Bin Type Search

The Warehouse Management System (WMS) can manage different sizes of storage bins within a
storage type. The storage bins are determined during the storage bin search:

1. It is generally known which loading equipment (storage unit type) is required to place the
material into stock. This information is either

Ø Entered manually OR

Ø Can be found in the material master.

In this case, the SAP System suggests the relevant storage unit type for the putaway as a
default.

2. Then the WMS checks if the storage unit which is to be placed into stock may be put away in the
storage typed determined by the storage type search.

The table "Allowed storage unit types per storage type" contains details on which storage unit types
(SUTs) may be used in which storage types.

This table defines which storage unit type may be used within each storage type. Up to 10 storage
units may be assigned per storage type.

If more than 10 storage units are required per storage type, it is possible to activate the weak SUT
check.

To do this, enter *** in this table as the allowed SUT. This has the effect that, in theory, all SUTs are
allowed for this storage type. The system then searches for a bin that matches the storage unit type
according to the allowed storage bin type per SUT.

3. Then the system searches for a suitable storage bin using the putaway strategy.

o For this purpose you have assigned a storage bin type to each storage bin in the master data.

o Via the table "Storage bin type search" the WMS finds information on which SUTs match which
storage bin types.
The search for a subsequent storage bin type is restricted to the permitted storage bin types
which are run through sequentially according to the sequence of entries in this table.

4. If you manually enter the storage bin during putaway, the WMS checks if the SUT may be used on
the relevant storage bin.

Requirements

The storage unit type check parameters must be activated. This check is independent of a particular
strategy. You can use it for all putaway strategies.

Recommendation

If you wish to implement the above weak SUT-check, check your table options exactly as
performance problems may arise if the customizing option is not properly set.

The following example should illustrate these problems and their solution:

· Storage bin types P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 are allowed for storage unit type E1. E1 is to be placed in
stock in storage type 001. Here there are only storage bins of type P0.

· Normally E1 would not be included in the storage unit types allowed for storage type 001. The
WMS recognizes this and searches for a bin in the next storage type.

· A weak SUT check is when the database is accessed 5 times unsuccessfully. This number
increases depending on how many different storage sections you work with at one time.

You can check the Customizing options via the storage bin determination log (transport order
management). Multiple access to the database does not greatly impair performance. The number of
times the database is accessed in this way can be decreased using an optimized storage type
search.

Activities

Set the parameters for bin type search in the following sequence:

1. Bin types

Divide your storage bins into groups (for example, large bins, small bins).

2. Check your warehouse master data and, if necessary, fill in any missing storage bin types.

3. Storage unit types

Classify your storage units (for example, by palette type).

4. Check your material masters and add palletization data, if this has not already been done.

5. Allocation of storage unit types / storage type

For each storage type, define which storage unit types may be placed into stock in this storage type.

6. Allocation of storage unit types / storage bin types

For each storage bin type, define which storage unit type may be put away.

7. Activate the storage unit type control function in the putaway control parameters for the desired
storage bin.
