Editing Storage Bins (SAP Library - Warehouse Management System (WMS))

Editing Storage Bins

Use

Using the Warehouse Management (WM) application component, you can delete or change one or more characteristics of several storage bins at once. There are various different reasons why you might need to edit storage locations. You might need to:

Assign another storage section to a group of storage bins

Reassign bins to another fire-containment section

Define bins for hazardous material usage

Reshelf or reslot a storage type

Correct a mistake you made when creating bins

Reset the cross-line placement sorting order for a group of bins

Redefine the picking sequence for a group of bins

Note

For further information about the cross-line placement search strategy and defining the picking sequence, see Additional Factors for Search Strategies.
