Dear all,
Current situation: We have set up different storage types for cold storage and ambient storage. We have storage sections for every type of material (raw, intermediate, finished, packaging,...). We have maintained temperature conditions in the material masterdata (cold or ambient).
Problem: In our current setup SAP will allways suggest a cool storage type (based on the putaway parameters in masterdata wm), however it is still possible to place a product that has to be stored in a cold place, in the storage type we reserved for ambient products. We want it not to be possible to place a cold storage product in certain storage types (reserved for ambient).
Is there a link between temperature condition in masterdata and warehousing or is this only an informative field? Is storage conditions the answer or is this only relevant for deliveries/shipping?
I have come to think the solution is to create different storage sections for material type, including cold/ambient. For example, we have now storage section "RAW", we should create "RWC (raw cold) and RWA (raw ambient)" and allow RWC only in the cold storage type. But is there a more straightforward way to do this?
Is there some parameter for storage type customizing that will check for temperature conditions in the masterdata for the material.
Custom programming is also a possible solution as we could say when creating a transfer order to a certain storage type to check for temperature conditions but i would prefer masterdata/customizing setup.
What is your opinion/experience on this issue?
Thank you in advance.
