Change the destination storage Bin when create or confirm the TO reference PCN

0 Kudos

Hi experts,

Here is the scenario of my question:

1. Two storage location A and B in one plant, assigned to one Warehouse number. There are two storage type 001 and 002 in the Whn.

2. IM 311 transfer material from A to B, trigger a posting change note.

3. LT05 create TO reference the PCN. Input the source storage type and storage bin.

4.LT12 confirm the TO, can not change the destinatin storage type and storage bin, they are exectly as same as source storage type and storage bin.

My question is: When I do the stock transfer from A to B, the real objects move from 'storage type 001/Bin A1-01-01' to 'storage type 002/Bin B1-01-01'. Which step and how could I change the destinatin storage type and storage bin? Or I miss some configuration? Or some enhancement must be implemented?

Thank you !

Hi,

a: ever checked the flag "Post to same bin" in the warehouse movement type? This flag controls that for a transfer order created for a posting change the destination bin is the same as the source bin. So if this flag is not set during the creation of the transfer order the system will search for another destination bin. Then you just have to check what the system will find and see how you work from there. Or manually select the destination bin when creating the transfer order.

b: there is a setting in customizing where you can set if during the confirmation the bin can be changed. Now it is a long time that I did something in WM, but it should work for this case as well.

Sorry for the wrong tag, that's my mistake.

The flag "Post to same bin" in the warehouse movement type 309 is not set.

When I create transfer order reference the posting change note, sysytem only allow to input the source storage type and source bin.

Destination storage type and bin could not be changed when transfer order confirming.

I also check the configuration you mentioned, but it dees not work. OSS note 443916 - Dest. storage bin cannot always be changed during conf. including the posting change transfer order.

So, the key point of my question is IM-311stock transfer from WM-storage location to WM-storage location(both of them in one warehouse) only trigger posting change(only status or nature changed, but no physical position), could not trigger two transfer requirements if the real objects been moved from one bin to annother.

Hi Jurgen,

I know I'm asking this question in WM page rather than EWM page. But I'm facing the issue in EWM now.

311 calling 309 reference movement and so DTR delivery type. When DTR delivery distributed to EWM it picks up 4010 process type. 4010 have standard setting of posting to same bin, which is ok in case 321/344 etc.

But because I have to move stock from 1 EWM sloc/St type to another EWM/St type sloc, I need to change bin in IM_PC transaction. But because of 4010 setting I can't do so.

Please suggest how to manage this scenario.

Regards

Pratik

see OSS note 388909 - From the movement type in IM to the movement type in WM

It explains the logic of finding the WM movement type.

In standard the IM 311 movement it would be the WM 315 reference movement if both source and target locations are assigned to the same warehouse.

Now execute OMLR transaction and find the 315 movements, they all have a flag for PCN.

So I would try to remove either this flag or to assign a different WM movement type for the transfer posting (e.g. 311 instead of 315)

Hi Jürgen,

Thank you for your reply.

I have check the OSS note you mentioned, it is the same with my understanding. One little confuse, the reference movement type 315, i think maybe you mean the third one movement type 309? If i am wrong, please let me know.

I have try to use 311 to replace 309, but message L9009 (Storage bin &&& does not exist (check your entry)) occurs when i do IM 311 posting. When i maintain the source storage type and the source bin in WM 311 (which only have target storage type and bin at first), IM posting is successful, but there is no TR or PCN. I will have to create two other TOs manually.

Please see the pictures below, they show some of my opinions and confusion.

For the first two, a transfer requirement is created following an IM posting change. The first one shows stock transfer from WM storage location to Non-WM storage location, the second one shows stock transfer from Non-WM storage location to WM storage location. For the third, a posting change notice is created,shows stock transfer from WM storage location to WM storage location in one warehouse. Am i right?

The first one shows stock transfer in one warehouse and both storage location are linked to this warehouse. The second one shows stock transfer if the issuing plant/storage location combination is assigned to a different warehouse number than the receiving one, the system does not create posting change notice (PCN). Instead, it creates two transfer requirements, one for the stock removal form the issuing warehouse number and one for putaway in the receiving warehouse number.

BUT, for the first one, if the real objects should be moved from some bin to another one, PCN only allow us to putaway the materials to the same bin where there are removed from. I have to create anoherTO (movement type 999).

I indeed confuse about this, is there a way to realize it?

PS:

1. If i use barcode system interface, i can create TO and change the target storage type and bin via bapi 'L_TO_CREATE_POSTING_CHANGE'.

2. I could not change the target information via LT04 manually.

3. Maybe implement an enhancement could solve this problem.

But I insist that, maybe there is an indicator like 'Special movement indicator' or something else. If the real objects need to be moved I could choose the indicator, system will generate 2 TRs, one for the stock removal form the issuing warehouse number and one for putaway in the receiving warehouse number. If it is a really posting change i will ignore it, system will generate a PCN.

yes, I should have written 309, I looked at the wrong line when I saw 315.

When your receive the message L9009 (Storage bin &&& does not exist (check your entry))

What entry do you see for the 3 variables &&&? Can it be that it wants to post to an interim storage type and you have not created the bins there with LX20 ?
