- The goods are stored in two physical
storage location: first, where all goods are stored in boxes and second
where goods are stored unpacked (pcs.). The goods are physically managed
packed and unpacked too in same warehouse but on separate racks.
- The client orders pieces and
the sales quantity is not based on packages (e.g. sales order quantity
could be 12 pcs. and delivered quantity will be 1 box + 2 pcs.)
In SAP:
- HU is required in StLoc 1 only;
- WM is used (full WM, not Lean
WM)
- all goods are purchased or produced
and putted in stock in boxes in StLoc 1; if necessary, the goods are transferred
in StLoc 2 (unpacking)
- the goods are ordered (sales
order quantity) in basic UoM (e.g. pcs.) and delivered in boxes or mixed
(boxes + separate pieces)
- one material has only one packaging
instruction (e.g. material XYZ is packed always in BOX1, 10pcs/box)
- the packaging has no impact in
pricing
- the picking process must be fully
automated in SAP (no manual entry)
- additional requirements: the
stock removal strategy is based on SLED strategy and the batch management
is active.
Is there a possibility to split automatically the document items based on packing rule (the packed materials are picked from StLoc 1 and unpacked materials from StLoc 2)?
Proposal:
To be able to do this you need to make the settings for TO splitting:
Also, if you have consistent quantities
in your 'full box' are you can make settings to pick from there first and
then get the balance from the 'pick face'.
This entails settings with the
Removal strategy within the ST types and specific search strategies as
well as control quantities in the material master.
For example:
If the pick face has removal strategy M and the box ST type has the removal strategy F.
You can create a ST type indicator and a specific search strategy and then make the material master settings.
e.g.
Material A is stored in quantities up to 100 pieces in storage type xxx (picking warehouse with fixed bins), in quantities greater than 100 pieces in storage type yyy (high-rack warehouse).
With the strategy "Large/small quantities", you need to activate the strategy "M" in the picking storage type xxx, and the strategy "F" (FIFO) in the high-rack warehouse yyy.
During the storage type search for stock removals, the picking storage type xxx comes before the high-rack storage type yyy.
1. Decide whether or not you want
to use this stock removal strategy.
2. If you have already created
material masters, maintain the control quantity in the storage type section
of all the material masters concerned.
3. Activate the stock removal strategy
"Large/small quantities" in the stock removal control for the relevant
storage type.
4. Define the search sequence for
the respective storage types.
