I have enabled putaway strategy C utilizing open storage in WM.
What I anticipated was that bin determination would consider the first alphabetical bin for that storage type. However, what I am experiencing is the bin being determined is the first alphabetical bin with inventory; by-passing earlier bins without inventory.
Storage type settings:
Putaway strategy: C
Mixed Storage: X allowed
Addn to Stock: X allowed
For example, I have bins A and B. Bin A does not have inventory but bin B has inventory. My transfer orders will suggest bin B over bin A.
This is not a capacity issue and not related to mixed storage as I am allowing.
Has anyone experienced this and found a way to overcome it?
Before changing customizing you better check the bin determination log in your TO to know why this bin was found and which parameters were used in the determination

Hi Mike.
Please try manual putaway - select storage type in question, and manually enter problematic bin "A" which is skipped normally when you run in background.
Are there any errors?
Can you post a screen of the result when you enter destination st.type and st.bin and hit ENTER?
If there is any problem - reason to skip bn A this will show it in foreground.
It seems to me based on your bin determination screen that bin A isn't considered at all, but please show the screen from manual putaway to bin "A" and hopefully we'll see the reason for exclusion...
Ok, I see... I think I have faced this once with strategy C.
It seems that SAP consideres for putaway only one bin in this type of strategy (C).
Like it is assumed that you will always need only one bin in open storage, and no need to open seamless bins if it's open storage.
The interesting thing is that the storage type, when moved to strategy B, in my case behaved perfectly normal, but when it was with the same settings (storage bin section search, storage bin type search).
I'll try to find out something more about the issue, but I remember having to code a user exit because I didn't want to use 'B' strategy back then.
Maybe I'm smarter now than I was
Hi Mike
You are telling the system to add stock to existing stock in the warehouse.
Addn to Stock: X allowed
When the bin is filled according to your settings it will then look at A or the other bins in your system

Hi Mike
I think a better way to look at this migh be to ask do you want the stock to go the next empty bin. If so then you might want to look at Putaway Strategy L - Next empty bin.
The other question, have you cleard the warehouse of all stock first before moving stock back into the warehouse.
