 Storage Bin Determination for Stock Removal

Use

The aim of storage bin determination for stock removal is to determine storage bins and stock for stock removals and internal movements. Here, for example, the system uses parameters from the product master that you have defined manually or those that the system has determined in slotting.

You can define the business strategy according to which the storage bin determination for stock removal is to run, for example, FIFO (First In, First Out). You make the settings for these stock removal strategies in Customizing.

Storage bin determination for stock removal occurs automatically when warehouse tasks (WTs) are created.

Features

Determination of Stock Removal Search Sequence and Stock Removal Rule

The stock removal search sequence contains information about the storage types in which the system is to search for stock and the order in which it is to sort the stock found. The stock removal rule specifies the order in which the system is to sort the individual quants.

The system determines the stock removal search sequence on the basis of the parameters from the WT.

In Customizing, you can link a stock removal rule to a stock removal search sequence. This means that the stock removal rule is fixed for all storage types belonging to the stock removal search sequence. If you have not linked the stock removal rule and the stock removal search sequence to one another, the system uses the stock removal rule that you have defined for the storage type or the storage type group. If you enter the storage type or the storage type group manually, the system calls the determination of stock removal search sequences to determine the stock removal rule.

You can use the BAdIs in the /SCWM/ES_CORE_RMS enhancement spot to make changes to the result.

Determination of Storage Type or Storage Type Group

The system uses the stock removal search sequence that was found to determine the storage type or the storage type group in which it is to search for stock.

Selection of Quants

The system uses the storage type or the storage type group that was found to select the stock.

You can use the BAdIs in the /SCWM/ES_CORE_RMS enhancement spot to make changes to the result.

Sorting the Quants

The system uses the stock removal rule that was found to sort the stock that was determined.

You can use the BAdIs in the /SCWM/ES_CORE_RMS enhancement spot to make changes to the result.

Selection of a Quant

The system chooses the first quant that was found, and checks it. If it cannot use this quant, for example, because the quantity is insufficient or the storage bin is locked for stock removal, the system takes the next quant, and so on.
