wm strategy L--Next Empty Bin

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have some basic question ,

1.L-Next Empty Bin:- As we already defines the search strategy for the storage type & structure of the bin with its way of deciding the bin. Why it is require to define it as a separate strategy(Assiged to st type?)

i.e

for e.g i defined strategy P- Storage unit type if the system found the bin is not empty the system will automatically find the next empty bin ?

2.About LIFO & FIFO is it enough if i specify it in material master? If i do not specify which one is considered by system?

3.The use of Stringent FIFO is to skip the st type from search strategy which is defined for all st type *** is it right?

Hi dev,

Dont confuse the Storage type search strategy with putaway & picking strategy. Both are different.

Storage type strategy - This is used to find out a suitable storage type for putaway as well as picking based on the order which you have mentioned (Automatic Storage type search).

Putway & Picking Strategy - This we have to define in the storage type settings. The strategy which we define here has a major role in Bin Determination.

Next Empty Bin - If you assign this strategy system will determine an empty bin every time you place material into stock.

P - Storage unit type - This is purely based on the settings which you define for the storage unit type & sections. ( it will place the material into a bin even it has stock in it based on the SUT)

As the name suggests FIFO & LIFO strategy are used while removing stock from wareouse & system will determine the bin for Stock removal based on the FIFO & LIFO criteria whichever is mentioned in the storage type.

Stringent FIFO - For this we will define ' *** ' (blank) in the auto storage type search table & based on this system will remove stock from the oldest quant in the warehouse.

Hope this answers your queries.

Thanks,

Can you tell me In case strategy I-addition to existing stock if capacity of perticular bin is full then is the system automatically determines the Next empty bin i.e. as per strategy L ?

Yes,If your capacity check is active & maximum weight of bin is mentioned then system will automatically select next bin.

Hello,

Answer to your questions.

1.System search for bin on the basis of Putaway strategy.As per the strategy mentioned in storage type system suggest bin automatically.

2.LIFO & FIFO are the picking strategy which you select in storage type & on the basis of this strategy system picks material from bin.

3.After selecting FIFO ,it guides system to pick material on the basis of FIFO stratgey.

Hope this is the answer of your question.
