SAP WM Pick Path according to bin sequence

[former_member273907]

Dear All,

We are looking at possibility of changing the existing pick strategy to a serpentine pick path in warehouse. Our storage bin structure is 8 alpha numeric format. Kindly suggest how to configure the below logic in Define Sort Sequence for Stock Removal (Picking)

Awaiting for reply

Thank & regards,

Mohan

Think my follow on comment has been lost.

...... Define Profiles/Profile for TO Splitting

In this step, create and profile against which you can assign the sort order you wish the TO to be created in.

In this example, sort profile 3 (B2BPCK) has been created

Nest step is to create a Sort profile in which you configure the order you require. In this example, profile 3 has a 1st sort on the storage type, 2nd sort on the storage section and 3rd sort on the sort order for picking field inthe bin master (REIHF)

The final step is to assign this to the storage types(s), movement types for which this order is required. In this example, any TO created to withdraw stock from storage type WHO into storage type 916 with a movement type = 601, will be sorted in the order configured (REIHF)

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi

There are 3 more settings I think you are missing:

SPRO/LE/WM/Activities/Transfers/Processing Performance data_TO Split/

Hi, I am referring to the field within the Bin Master Record (LS03N). By updating the field in the record, you can add your own sequence as suggested in my previous post.

Update field REIHF directly in the bin master, in the sequence that you want to pick as a 6 digit number. This example is using a single increment, but you might want to consider larger increments as that leaves you the capability of inserting new bins into the Whs if required.

Bin No REIHF

AA101A01 000001

AA101A02 000002

AA101A03 000003

AB101A01 000004

AB101A02 000005

AB101A03 000006

AA102A01 000007

AA102A02 000008

AA102A03 000009

AB102A01 000010

AB102A02 000011

AB102A03 000012

You will then need to maintain the Sort profile for TO splitting to include field REIHF when creating the pick TO's

Hope this helps

Tried without Picking area, Still same 😞

[former_member591449]

Looks like the storage section search field is throwing it off. Storage type is constant (AD1) and storage section is following the correct sort (AA1, AA3, AB1). The bin sort within the sections isn't running in ascending numerical order which suggest (without being able to see the field in your screenshot) REIHF is being followed ?

Cheers

[former_member591449]

I also notice that in the config for 'Profile for Transfer Order split' you have selected the split by picking area. Are you using picking areas ?

[former_member273907]

Tried even that without picking area. Still not working

[former_member591449]

What about the storage section search. See earlier post regarding how the storage section search appears, from the screen shot anyway, to be throwing the bin sequence out from a overall storage type/bin sequence perspective ?

[former_member273907]

Tried even that, But no luck

First bin exactly picking AA101A01 but from 2nd on-wards its going different way, 2nd going to AA104A01 instead of AB101A01

[former_member591449]

Just noticed that you are also using batch management. This might be having an impact on your sort profiles as it isn't maintained within the sort criteria.

Cheers

[former_member273907]

So, Do you mean to say I have to add CHARG (Batch Number) in Sort profile for TO splitting ??

[former_member591449]

Are you using Profile Performance data ? I'm not using this so the field is blank in my system, but that might be unrelated.

I remember reading somewhere that the sort profile only works if you maintain a weight/volume limit in the 'Profile for TO splitting', I haven't witnessed this myself, but you could try maintaining a volume limit of say 99,999,999.000 as a test ??

Other than that, I'm at a bit of a loss as this is working fine in my system 😞

Cheers

[former_member273907]

Yes..

[former_member591449]

Hi

Did you also maintain the Performance Data as suggested ??

Cheers

[former_member273907]

Thanks for your reply, As suggested made change in config

Created delivery order and TO, But still not working as per sort field pick, Instead its going in below sequence

System picking in below sequence and not as per Sort field pick

[former_member273907]

Hi Android,

Sorry for late reply, As suggested we maintained sort field sequence no in bin master and created delivery order. But we not got expected result.

Please refer below screen shot for reference, Guide if we did any thing wrong.

Sort picking field is maintained according to sequence no (highlighted in yellow)

Delivery order created and TO generated.

But system not generated TO according to Sort field pick sequence as maintained in system. Highlighted in yellow is expected result.

for example:- Expected sequence 1 is in the 3rd place instead of 1st.

Regards,

Mohan

Hi Android,

Thanks for your reply. We understand you are referring the field as highlighted below.

But before this we need to configure Define Sort Sequence for Stock Removal (Picking) or not?

If Yes how to map the variable in this scenario where bin nos are having 8 digits and variables are only 6
