 Cross-Line Stock Putaway

Use

In the case of this function, a sort sequence supports the system when searching for suitable storage bins. You can use sort sequences to prevent one part of the warehouse from being overburdened and to optimize the putaway of goods. If you have not defined a sort sequence, the system sorts by storage bin name.

We recommend cross-line stock putaway for storage types with the following settings:

Storage behavior Standard Warehouse and putaway rule Empty Bin

Storage behavior Pallet Storage

If the system cannot find a storage bin for the addition to existing stock, it uses sort sequences to search for a storage bin. This means that you can also define cross-line stock putaway for storage types with the storage behavior Standard Warehouse and putaway rule Addition to Existing Stock / Empty Bin or with the storage behavior Bulk Storage .

Prerequisites

You have defined a sort sequence for cross-line stock putaways in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management ( EWM ). To do so, you have performed the following steps:

You have defined an activity for cross-line stock putaway in your warehouse number for the activity CLSP with warehouse process category 8 (Cross-Line Stock Putaway) under Master Data Activity Areas Activities Define Activities.

You have generated an activity area for the storage type in which you want to perform the cross-line stock putaway under Master Data Activity Areas Generate Activity Area from Storage Type. The activity area must match the storage type, in other words, it must contain the same storage bins. The system gives the generated activity area the same name as the storage type.

You have defined a sort sequence for cross-line stock putaway under Master Data Activity Areas Define Sort Sequence for Cross-Line Stock Putaway.

You have created a storage bin sorting on the SAP Easy Access screen under Extended Warehouse Management Master Data Storage Bin Sort Storage Bins.
