WM Managed-SLOC to SLOC transfer (Requirement: Same Source and Destination Stor Bin)

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My scenario is as follows:

We have WM managed SLOC's for a plant with both SLOC's belonging to one warehouse

Warehouse No: 100

Plant: 1000

SLoc 1: USA1

SLoc 2: USA2

Batch Management Active on the Materials.

Current LS24 stock situation as follows for (Warehouse No/Material/ Plant/SLOC) : 100 / MaterialABC /1000/ USA1

Type     Storage Bin          Total Stock       Avail Stock      Unit

Sloc      Batch

002      LMNO                    80                         80               EA

USA1   Batch#990

Business requirement:

Based on some rules maintained in a Z Table(Not important for our discussion here)- Automatic transfer should happen from SLOC- USA1 stock into SLOC-USA2 with the destination storage type/ Bin same as the source.

After transfer this is how the LS24 stock situation should appear for (Warehouse No/Material/ Plant/SLOC) : 100 / MaterialABC /1000/ USA2

Type     Storage Bin          Total Stock       Avail Stock      Unit

Sloc      Batch

002      LMNO                    80                         80               EA

USA2   Batch#990

TO BE DESIGN: We are planning on doing the following Steps

(1) Use of the following BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE

Do a 311 Mvt type to transfer stock btw SLOC's

This puts the batch stock in interim storage bin (922 TR-ZONE)

(2) Create a TO to move from the interim storage type/bin into a permanent storage bin

From : 922 TR ZONE

To:      002 LMNO  (which is the same as the source SLOC storage type/bin)

My Questions:
(1) Is there any efficient way of doing this transfer

(2) How do I identify the Source Storage Type/ Bin in order to pass that information into the TO for the Destination storage Type/Bin

Thanks

Kumar

We have standard SAP functionality to achieve the required functionality which you are looking for, Please have a look on the below mentioned Link

Hi manish,

The Storage Type/Bin for the Source SLOC stock can be different always and is not a fixed bin.

My requirement is to ensure that the Source (can be dynamic) and Destination Bins (should match Source) should be the same.

Thanks

with Standard BAPI_GOODS_MVT_CREATE and GM_code 4 it is possible to make the change without creating any custom code in that case you need to enter the storage type and storage bin value in STGE_TYPE_PC / STGE_BIN_PC and in NO_PST_CHGNT enter the value as X

Con of this approach is that you won't be able trace anything as system directly updates the Database

I used the approach as suggested by Manish

Thanks for all your help.

Curious how you are triggering it if yo have time

Hi Jacob

We have created a front end transaction where the user can input the "Warehouse no, PLant, Material"

Internal logic:

(1) Table: MCHB to identify valid Batches

(2) Pass the Material, Plant and Batch into RESB to check if there are any open reservations, exclude these batches

(3) Pass the remaining batches into TABLE LQUA to get the source storage type/bin

(4) Using FM: BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE, do a 311 movement type to transfer stock from one SLOC to another SLOC

• Pass the Source Storage Type and Bin from the Temp ID which will now  become the Destination Storage Type and Bin
• Set a X in the Component: NO_PST_CHGNT (Indicator: Do not create posting change notice)

Let me know if you need anything else

Thanks

Thanks Jacob, I was inclining towards that solution as mentioned by you.

Step 1 - Read Existing Bin information for the Batch stock

Step 2- Using a BAPI to do a 311 Mvt type to transfer from one SLOC to another

Step 3 - Using a BAPI to create TO to transfer from Interim to permanent storage Bin

I am not a WM consultant and the client does not have any inhouse experts, so I am figuring out things on my end and arrived at the easiest way (which is the custom solution which I am not a fan of).

The reason for my posting the question is to see if there is any standard way to achieve STEP (3).

Thanks Manish, I will look into your solution. Any additional information will be helpful for me.

To my knowledge the system wont retain the source storage type and bin to populate as the destination storage type and bin during the second step. There is no standard link that can be using in config between the first step TO and second step TO creation. Hopefully in this case I am mistaken and the solution provided in the other thread will work for you, Please let us know the results

Good day,

The most efficient way is through customization, create a Zcode to do the two step transfer in the back ground. You will need to temporarily write the source storage type/bin to a table that you can read from when the second step puts the stock away at destination storage location. You may need to create Z PID for the users if the traffic will go in both directions (so the user can tell the system VIA PID what source and destination storage location they want). I assume your site is not SU managed as you have not mentioned retaining the SU #.
