Warehouse Management-Storage Placement by material master data

Former Member

Hi experts,

I have created a storage type as 011. I want to store materials by their material groups.

In this storage type I want to store materials which have material groups 1*.

In material master data of related materials I have set the stock placement value as below:

storage strategies->stock placement = 011.

I have created Storage type indicator and assigned to each material in the material master, warehouse management tab.

IMG->Logistics Execution->Warehouse Management->Strategies->Activate Storage Type Search.

I perform Goods Receipt for Purchase Order (MIGO 101). Transfer Order is created automatically.

In Transfer Order;

Destionation Storage type is still 003 (Open Storage) but it should be 011 for materials with material group 1*.

What should I do?. Do i still miss any customizing setting?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I think its year late to reply..   but still sharing my views as it can help to others...

SAP WM search takes places as per below flow....

1. Any movement in WM is directed through WM movement type settings. In movement types system search for Storage type first. If system gets anything relevant such as destination storage type/fixed bin then system will not proceed further .

2.If in step 1, system didn't get Destination storage type, then will proceed further to fine storage type in storage search table. Here, system uses the material master data, Stock placement indicator, special movement type etc. Using this system pass all entries in search table and tries to get storage type.

3.If system does not get any storage type in step 2 also, then system checks the access optimization.(this is optional and will work only if you activated it). This step will guide system what to do if Step 2 fails.

Hope it helps.

Did you define the Storage Type Search Sequence in which the Bin is to be determined? This is the step in which the system determines the Storage Type.

Yes Manoj, I have already defined 'Storage Type Search Sequence' as below:

WH     Operat.     St.Type Ind.     1           2

A01      E                                     003      999

A01      E               001                003      999

.

.

.

A01      E               011                011

Currently it is working by 1st. line. but it should work by last line, because in material master data I set storage strategies->stock placement = 011.

The system determines the Storage Type based on the Storage Placement maintained in the Material Master, but seems you have done the config part correctly. But the search sequence does not change to another storage type if you have maintained the Storage Type indicator in the MMR. You will receive that the system was not able to determine storage section or storage bins for the material upon GR. So the storage type identification isn't really working for this.

There are two possibilities for the system to not identify the Storage Type:

1. Storage Type indicator not maintained in MMR

2. Else, check in your Mvt Type in transaction OMLJ if the destination storage type is fixed there.

Dear Manoj,

I have checked the movement type(101) in transaction OMLJ.Here the destination storage type is '003' as default. Should it be empty?

Yes, it should be empty because if you use 003 storage type in the movement type then the system will fetch the storage type as fixed and omit all entries maintained in the MMR. So even if you have 100 different storage types and if you have maintained this field in Mvt Type then this will be chosen without the consideration of the other types. So leave this field empty and try the same scenario again. It should work.

Dear Manoj,

the problem has been solved with your help. It was really important for me.

Thank you very much.
