Custom made picking strategie SAP WM

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

For a customer I have to set up a custom made picking strategy.

The proces is a follow:

The main goal is that a several transfer order related to one delivery have approximatically the same weight and height.

So the first step is to check the heaviest weight item in the delivery and put this on for example pallet (Transfer order A). The seconds heaviest item of the delivery should be stored on pallet B (Transfer order B). The next step is what is the lowest pallet and put the next heaviest weight item of the delivery on the lowest pallet. This proces should be continued till all item in the delivery have been divided over sevaral transfer order. Each transfer order can be pilled to a maximum height.

The second step is to determine per pallet (per transfer order) a logical pille pattern. So put first the materials with a full pallet layer first on the pallet and put  materials with less then a pallet layer on the materials of a full pallet layer.

My question is which user exits can I use to realise step 1 and step 2. Based on step 1 and 2 the correct transfer orders have to be created.

Best Regards,

Richard

For custom stock removal strategy you may use MWMTO004. Also if you want to split transfer orders, you need to check user exit MWMTO012.

Hi Alper,

Thanks for your reply.

So do you think that step 1 can be assigned to user exit MWMTO004 and step 2 to user exit MWMTO012?

I was thinking maybe I can assign both steps to user exit MWMTO001?

You can use MWMTO004 to sort transfer order items according to your requirement but if you want to split transfer orders you also need to MWMTO012. You can not use MWMTO001 for splitting TO.

Thanks Alper,

But what is exactly the difference between MWMTO001 and MWMTO004?

[former_member245890 · Accepted solution]

MWMTO001 is triggerred at the end of transfer order creation and it is useful for updating custom tables when you finish creating TO, you can not use to change TO data. If you want to create a custom picking logic, MWMTO004 exit exist for that.

Dear Alper,

One more question. This customer has also below requirement:

Some customers have the requirement that the only want to receive a max of 2 different batches. For example Delivery consist of 10 Pallets. Then only 1 batch but max 2 batches could be involved. Otherwise a pop up message should appear.

Can I also cover this requirment with user exit MWMTO004?

You can use to cover that requirement but i am not sure that you can popup a message, you may try with a developer.
