Fixed bin replenishment - auto creation of TO on to confirmation

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am trying to set up the functionality to automatically create a replenishment TO for a fixed bin when the quantity of material in that bin falls below a certain level.  I am able to initiate a replenishment using transaction LP21.  But according to SAP documentation if I set the replenishment indicator to '1' in the "Define replenishment Control for storage type" screen, a TO should be created automatically for a fixed bin when the stock level drops below the min level for that bin. 

Has anybody else had the same problem.

Thanks

You have to set up Mail control for this to work.

Hi,

The immediate TO is created  (if indiactor 1 is maintained) when the stock falls below the minimum qty during confirmation of another TO (which would be a stock removal TO from that bin).

You can refer to the helpset below.

Hi,

Did you maintain the fixed bin at movement type level.

You have maintain a Storage Type(ex-AS1) and Bin(ex-B-001) at "Src", which will take create a TO automatically from B-001 to your fixed bin(ex-FB001).

Let me know if you

How can I set up a fixed bin for the source location - it depends on where the stock is stored and this will change all the time.  Regards Jacque

Hi,

If you want to create automatic TO from available stock, dont mention the source bin and check the "Automatic TO Creation"(Background Processing) and "Manual TO creation not allowed" like shown below option given at the movement type.

Hi,

I have set up the configuration as per all specifications detailed in your previous email and the ony way  that I can get the replenishment to work is to run the job LP21 to create a transfer requirement, followed by the program RLAUTA10 to convert the TR to a TO. 

I do not know what else to do.  Have you actually got the TOs to create automatically when a bin drops below a min quantity?  Regards, Jacque

Hi,

I have tried replenishing with Fixed Bin and automatic TO got created. I was using option '1'. I can send you the word document if you want. Give me ur mail id.

Try using option '2' instead of '1' at "Define Replenishment Control for Storage Type". I havent tried this option.

Is the quantity in overstock enough to cover the full amount?  If not, that would be why it is not creating.  We had to use lt41 to create TO's when the reserve had a partial quantity.

Hi.

I just had the same problem and after debugging with my basis guy, we found out that the problem was the indicator "Manual TO creation not allowed" in the replenishment movement type which has to be unflaged in order to create TOs with no reference to other document.

Hope it works for you.

Best regards.

Hi Jacqueline,

  I presume you are working with WM mvt type 319 or you copied mvt 319 , created new one & set up is okay.

  Check in that mvt type details if Auto TO in background is selected .

  You can use LP21 manually & check if set -up is complete or you get any error  , work on that error & remove it. Once everything is done auto TO should get triggered.

  How logic works:

You have defined all the data in WM2 tab , as soon as the picking TO triggers which causes in Min BIN quatity to fall below mentioned value , Replenishment TO is triggered.

System will calculate the multiple of replenishment quantity & try to create the TO nearest to Max.

Example :

Max =100 , Min = 20 , replenishment = 40

Current stock =50 , Picking TO = 35 , Value in BIn = 50-35 =15 that causes replenishment to trigger

15 +40+40 <=100 , so replenishment for 80 will be triggered.

Thanks,
