You use stock removal strategies to define where the system is to search for stock, in other words, in which storage types, and how it is to sort the stock that has been determined. Stock is determined in the following cases:
● Warehouse task (WT) creation
● Creation of warehouse requests
● Changing warehouse request items
You make the settings for the stock removal strategies in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Goods Issue Process ® Strategies. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) and the documentation for the individual strategies.
The following table shows possible stock removal strategies:
Strategy |
Comment |
With FIFO, the system searches for the oldest quant. |
|
With stringent FIFO, the system searches across all storage types. |
|
With LIFO, the system searches for the most recent quant. |
|
The system first searches for partial quantities and then for standard quantities. |
|
The system determines the storage bin on the basis of the quantity. |
|
The system searches for products with the shortest remaining time before the expiration date. |
|
The system searches for a fixed storage bin. |
You can use the BAdIs in the /SCWM/ES_CORE_RMS enhancement spot to make changes to these putaway strategies.
