Putaway and Stock Removal Strategies 

Use

In Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), the system uses putaway strategies and stock removal strategies to determine storage bins and stock. Each time that a warehouse task (WT) is created, the system reverts to putaway and stock removal strategies. 

·        Goods receipts

The system uses putaway strategies and parameters defined in the product master to utilize the available warehouse capacity by automatically determining suitable storage bins for the new products.

·        Goods Issues

The system uses stock removal strategies to determine the optimal picking bin. If you decide to manually process certain goods movements, you can change source and destination storage bins that are automatically proposed by the system.

·        Internal stock transfers

The system uses putaway and stock removal strategies, for example, for rearrangement, posting changes, and replenishment control.

Prerequisites

You make the settings for putaway and stock removal strategies in Customizing for EWM under Goods Receipt Process → Strategies or Goods Issue Process  → Strategies. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) and the documentation for the individual strategies.
