Define Strategy for Large/Small Quantities

With this stock removal strategy, you can influence the storage type selection on the basis of the quantity. Depending on whether this quantity is less than or exceeds the control quantity you have defined in the material master, the warehouse_management_system>Warehouse Management System proposes the stock removal from different storage types.

This procedure is recommended in warehouses where material is stored and transferred in both small and large quantities (by storage types).

Example

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.

Activities

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.
