Stock Removal Strategies

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

For more information, see Storage Bin Determination for Stock Removal.

Prerequisites

You make the settings for the stock removal strategies in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Goods Issue Process Strategies . For more information, see the Customizing documentation and the application help for the individual strategies.

Features
