The storage section is searched by WMS in the following sequence:
- First of all , the system searches for a suitable storage type for putaway activity.
- Then the system finds a suitable putaway strategy for this storage type.
- After that system searches for a suitable storage section using the storage section search strategy defined here.
In addition, you can influence the storage section search using the following indicators:
- storage section indicator from the material master
- storage class
- water pollution class (WPC)
The WMS only takes the indicators "Storage class" and "Water pollution class" into account if Hazardous Material Management has been activated.
In the WMS, you can enter the storage bins for putaway manually. In this case, the system checks whether the bin you have entered is in a storage section that is allowed for the material concerned.
NOTE: Storage Section search is not applicable for Fixed Bin Putaway Strategy.
IMG Configure
Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Strategies-> Activate Storage Section Search
Set the required parameters for the "Storage section check" in the sequence specified:
1. Storage section indicator
In this setup, you can assign a storage section indicator to each material. This indicator enables you to have materials placed into storage in special storage sections.
You define the valid storage section indicators in the corresponding table.
2. Storage section search
For each storage section indicator, you can have up to ten storage sections in one storage type. During putaway, the system first looks for a bin in the first storage section; if it does not find a suitable bin here, it goes on to the next section, and so on.
3. Activate the storage section search.
