Inbound Delivery- Addition to stock across multiple storage types

[Former Member]

Hi All,

          While User creating  Putaway Warehouse task for Inbound Delivery  from Transaction  /SCWM/PRDI ,  Standard Put away Strategy looks for Addition to Existing Stock then next empty bin within the same storage type before searching the next storage type in the strategy. The requirement is to first search through each storage type for addition to existing stock and then if not found start over

at the beginning of the storage type list and search for Next Empty Bin . it should work for storage types : Bulk / Pallet/ Fixed ..

             Tried to achieve by exploring with Enhancement Spots : /SCWM/ES_CORE_PTS , but it seems not going to work  as we can not stop System to search for Empty bin and move to next storage type to search for Add to stock bin , in case if no bin found in Add to existing stock scenario for same storage type

   Please  give suggestion, how we can achieve this requirement  : through either any Configurations / ABAP Program

Thanks in Advance,

Hi Venkata

Try Sorting as you want for putaway activity and hope you can achieve same.

By this way system path will be decided for putaway and at storage type level.

Thank you very much Suraj for your response,

  Yes your proposal is correct, using Sorting also we can get it.

I have checked a BADI which does this Sorting . But here I have to replicate total Logic of Standard Bin Determination first with "Add to Stock Bin" Scenario for all Storage types and then if no Bin Found , I also have to include Logic of "Empty Bin" Scenario , considering all Storage types behaviours (Bulk/Pallet/Fixed Bin)  which SAP will be doing later this BADI , in standard way to propose Bin .

          I am Looking for any way which will solve with Less Coding Effort and any Functional Configuration setup ..

Thanks,

Hm, have you tried to use a storage type group in the storage type search sequence? Not sure if it works. But I am pretty sure that it would only work if all your storage types have the strategy Addition to stock / next empty bin - and would you really want to do that? Why would you have different storage types with different strategies at all if you want to putaway like that?

Hi Juergen Pitz,

            Thanks for reply.

            Yes, we tried assigning Storage Group also , no luck.
And storage type have Strategy Addition to Stock/Next Empty bin too.

Generally , SAP do Bin determination in this way :

For each Storage Type , first check any Add to stock bin available ; if no then immediately checks for

Empty Bin for same storage type. 
if nothing found here too, System does same thing for Next available storage type .

----------------------------------------------------

My requirement is , For example to search for  a Storage Bin among all available storage Types first with "Addition to Stock"  only , if no storage Bin found then System should check  with strategy  "Next Empty Bin"  among all available Storage types ...!

        It should be applied irrespective of  whether a Delivery , Put away doing with storage types  either one of behaviour  Bulk / Pallet /Fixed .

using a BADI  /SCWM/EX-CORE_PTS_SRTSQ ,  if I could replicate logic of whatever Standard does

to do Bin determination , I may solve it . But here my Concern is , almost I have to Replicate total logic of standard to Bin determination for storage behaviours Bulk/Pallet/fixed bin to make it work for my requirement.

I want to reduce this code effort , with having any other available solution .

Thanks,

Vamsi
