Defining Time Limits for Block
Use
In the bulk storage area, the date of the first putaway in the row is used as the goods receipt date of all subsequent putaways to this row. Therefore, it is a good idea to stop further putaways to the row after a certain number of days so that the FIFO principle is not violated.
You can define a time limit by specifying the number of days after the first putaway in a row (that is, in the storage bin) when a putaway block should be set automatically.
Procedure
The time limit block must be set manually. For this purpose, choose the following path from the SAP Easy Access menu: Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Master Data
® Storage Bin ® Block ® In Bulk Storage.To remove the block, that is, to unblock the blocked bins, choose Master Data
® Storage Bin ® Block ® Selectively.Example
For example, storage bin A05-01 in bulk storage has a time block of five days. After the first putaway (January 1, 2000), the storage bin is blocked five days later for further putaways. All pallets have the same goods receipt date, although they were put away on different dates, as shown in the following table:
