Buffer area per aisle for putaway and picking. LE Warehouse managment

[former_member354143]

Hello Dear Community team!

Could you please help me to clarify next issue for SAP WM system?

There is one area for pallet storage. This area contain 4 narrow aisles, on each aisle is moving special machine. It can put and pick goods within aisle but cannot move outside. The idea is to define special buffer area per each aisle where it can take products for putaway and put there in case of picking. After that(in case of picking)/ before(for putaway) the another activities will move it.

The next questions to be clarified:

1) How to define those area? Which special parameters has to be defined for both storage area and buffer?

2) How we can additionally assign for each aisle separate buffer?

3) Is it possible to make the system automatically create two transfer orders to buffer and to destination storage area and visa versa? Some standard way/ user exits?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Anna,

I'm not quite sure if I've grasped your requirement fully. However you might take a look at:

Identification Point

Picking via the Pick Point

concepts.

Hi Dominik,

Many thanks for response

I agree for putaway the Identification point(IP) works fine, just we should define point per each aisle and each aisle as one storage type.
In this case I have also one drawback that during GI the determination of destination storage bin is not working as expected we need to specify destination storage type to have material on desired IP.
E.g. if there are two storage types 005 and 007 with identification points 006 and 008 appropriately and storage sequence defined as 005,007 then I always have destination storage type for putaway transfer order 006(it has Q (dynamic)strategy) even there is no free bins on 005.

With pick point there is issue for stock removal as it will be used only in case of partial stock removal. When I try to pick full pallet it goes directly to GI interim zone. Is it possible to use it for each pick action, possibly there is some additional configuration I should made?

Any idea is appreciated.
