Best Practice to delete existing storage type in SAP WM

[former_member349438]

Hello Experts

WM system is already implemented. and already have stocks inside , WM documents (TO, TR) exists.

Storage sections, storage bins  || and Storage type search , storage section search and storage bin search || is configured for 8 existing storage type.

Now we are going for  "Mapping of  Re-Structured Warehouse complex", while existing warehouse structure is destroyed.

So, we need to delete 8 existing storage types   AND   need to define 3 new storage types , sections, bins. and storage type search, storage section search and storage bin type search. and defining new bins.

I am thinking in this way,

1) Create new 3 storage type, define section, define storage type search, storage section search, storage bin type search

2) Move the configuration into production server

3) Create new storage bins in production server

4) Move stock into new storage bin

then after Go-Live for new warehouse structure

5) Delete the storage bins in existing 8 storage type in production server.

6) Create new Transport request in Development server, &  put following configuration  

7) Delete  the Storage bin search, storage section search and storage type search configuration for existing 8 storage types

😎 delete the storage section of existing 8 storage type . and after Delete the 8 existing storage types.

9) Move the transport request into production server.

Please share you thoughts. \  Best practice to do it.

Thanks in Advance.

Looks like you forgot your existing data.

It was never good practice to delete customizing while it was in use.

You should plan to archive the old transfer requirements, Transfer orders, posting change notices, inventory documents before you start removing storage types.
