Strategy: Fixed Storage Bin 

Use

In the case of this strategy, the system uses the storage bin that was entered in the product master to find stock. If you have allowed fixed storage bin assignments for a storage type, the system also takes into consideration the storage bins that do not contain any stock when determining the stock. In this way, it is possible that the system creates warehouse tasks (WTs) for which no stock exists. You use replenishment control to ensure that products are available in the storage bin at the time of picking.

Negative available stock is allowed with this strategy.

To clear the pick items or the pick quantity per storage bin, you can specify that the system is to sort the stock by open stock removal items per storage bin or by open quantity to remove per storage bin.
