You can use rearrangement to optimize the arrangement of your products in the warehouse by moving stock such as fast-moving items to the relevant optimal storage bin.
You have created products and stocks.
You have defined a default warehouse process type in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under
You have made the Customizing settings for putaway.
If you want to work with slotting indexes, you must enter a value in the following places in the
Evaluate Whse Item
field in Customizing for EWM under

The system compares the current storage type, storage section, and storage bin type with the optimal parameters from slotting . When doing this, it analyzes how well suited the current parameters (storage type, storage section, and storage bin type) are to the product. If they are not optimal, the system proposes an optimum storage bin.
When searching for an optimum destination storage bin (destination storage bin determination), the system uses search sequences for storage types, storage sections, and storage bin types. The entries in the search sequences are sorted by the slotting index and in descending order.
You can assign a slotting index for each step in a search sequence in Customizing. The first entry in a search sequence should not have a slotting index so that a storage bin with an optimum storage type, storage section, and storage bin type has a slotting index of zero.
In the case of rearrangement, the system first tries to propose an optimum storage bin (with a slotting index of zero). If this is not possible, the system proposes an alternative storage bin with the next lowest slotting index. The system only proposes an alternative storage bin if its slotting index is lower than that of the current storage bin.
You can identify the most urgent stock transfers on the basis of the following data:
Slotting index of the current storage bin
Difference between the slotting indexes of the proposed storage bin and the current storage bin
The system also displays the number of empty bins per storage type, storage section, and storage bin type as part of the analysis.
For an example of rearrangement, see here .
To start rearrangement, on the
SAP Easy Access
screen, choose
Choose the required stocks. The system performs the analysis and displays the number of stock items per optimal storage bin type, storage section, and storage bin type/storage section for each current storage bin type, storage section, and storage bin type/storage section.
Choose one of the analyses, the required cell, column, or row, and then
Details
.
In the detail view, choose the required stock item and create a warehouse task. The system proposes a destination storage bin and reserves it. Save the warehouse task.
Note
Alternatively, you can create a warehouse request to plan rearrangement as a wave. In this case, the system does not adopt the proposed destination storage bin and does not reserve it.
Note
You can also execute rearrangement in the background. To do so, on the
SAP Easy Access
screen, choose
