SAP-EWM-Threshold addition field in Storage type .

[ewmbee786]

Introduction :

Real time issue from warehouse:

One of the warehouse manager found that due to split during put away allowed in the storage type system  split small qty of multiple tasks for one pallet. To put away this one pallet qty into multiple bins forklift operator is taking much time in put away. It is leading to warehouse inefficiency to manage resources in inbound operations.

To curb the above situation Warehouse manager has decided, if any storage bin is occupied with greater or equal to 70% of its capacity then system should not split during put away to this bin. (NO warehouse task should be created to this bin since it reaches to the threshold percentage)

So that we can avoid splitting of small qty warehouse tasks for put away. Operations efficiency will increase in inbound side.

Configuration steps:

1. Define storage type (HD55)


2. Define storage section- 0001


3. Define storage bin type -(H9)


4. Create few bin’s T. Code (/N/SCWM/LS01)


5. Generate activity area


6. Create storage bin sorting- Tcode: (/N/SCWM/SBST)


7. Define warehouse process type. (HD55)


8. Define process type determination indicator (PTDI: 55)


9. Determine warehouse process type


10. Define Storage Type Search Sequence for Put away (ST55)


11. Assign Storage Types to Storage Type Search Sequence


12. Define process type indicator (PA55)


13. Specify storage type search sequence for put away.

TESTING

1. Create purchase order (ME21N)


2. Create inbound delivery against PO (VL31N)


3. Process the inbound delivery (/N/SCWM/PRDI)


4. Create Put away task


5. Confirm put away task

 

1. Define storage type (HD55)

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> MASTER DATA -> DEFINE STORAGE TYPE

1

2. Define storage section

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> MASTER DATA -> DEFINE STORAGE SECTION

2

3. Define storage bin type (H9)

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> MASTER DATA -> STORAGE BINS -> DEFINE STORAGE BIN TYPES

3

4. Create manual bin’s t. Code (/N/SCWM/LS01)


5. Generate activity area

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> MASTER DATA -> ACTIVITY AREAS -> GENERATE ACTIVITY AREA FROM STORAGE TYPE

5

6. Create storage bin sorting (/N/SCWM/SBST)

6

7. Define warehouse process type. (HD55)

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> CR0ESS PROCESS SETTING -> WAREHOUSE TASK -> DEFINE WAREHOUSE PROCESS TYPE

7

8. Define process type determination indicator (PTDI : 55)

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> CR0ESS PROCESS SETTING -> WAREHOUSE TASK ->DEFINE CONTROL INDICATORS FOR DETERMINING WAREHOUSE PROCESS TYPES

8

9. Determine warehouse process type

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> CR0ESS PROCESS SETTING -> WAREHOUSE TASK -> DETERMINE WAREHOUSE PROCESS TYPE

9

10. Define Storage Type Search Sequence for Put away (ST55)

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> GOODS RECIEPT PROCESS -> STRATEGIES   -> SOTRAGE TYPE SEARCH -> DEFINE STORAGE TYPE SEARCH SEQUENCE FOR PUTAWAY

10

11. Assign Storage Types to Storage Type Search Sequence

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> GOODS RECIEPT PROCESS -> STRATEGIES   -> SOTRAGE TYPE SEARCH -> ASSIGN STORAGE TYPES TO STORAGE TYPE SEARCH SEQUENCE

11

12. Define process type indicator (PA55)

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> GOODS RECIEPT PROCESS -> STRATEGIES   -> SOTRAGE TYPE SEARCH -> DEFINE PROCESS TYPE INDICATOR

12

13. Specify storage type search sequence for put away.

PATH: SPRO -> IMG -> SCM EWM -> EWM -> GOODS RECIEPT PROCESS -> STRATEGIES   -> SOTRAGE TYPE SEARCH -> SPECIFY STORAGE TYPE SEARCH SEQUENCE FOR PUTAWAY.

13

14. Create material master (MM01)


15. Maintain product master (/N/SCWM/MAT1)

18. You can see available stock in the storage bin as below (/N/SCWM/MON)

18

In above screen shot you can clearly see first 3 bins are having 90 KGs in each now as per our configurations of threshold to addition -70% system won’t create WT for first 3 bins. System will skip the WT creation even though split during put away tick is there; system will look for threshold to addition field value.

19. Create purchase order (ME21N)

20

 Create inbound delivery against to PO (VL31N)

21

 

Process the inbound delivery (/N/SCWM/PRDI)

22

Create put away task

23

24

25

Here you can see clearly system create the put away task for hd55-01-04 & hd55-01-07

Means system create the task for less than 70% stock bins. It happened due to threshold to addition field in storage type.

Confirm put away task and check the stock after confirmation.

26

Conclusion : System avoided split of WT to un necessary small qty tasks. Last two bins filled because first three bins exceeded the threshold qty.
