Capacity Check According to Capacity Indicator
The following contains an example of each of the three forms of capacity checks according to capacity indicator.
Capacity Consumption Check According to Material
Storage bin 01-01-01 has a total capacity of 100. Each piece of material 4711 has a capacity usage of 11. You can therefore put away nine pieces of material 4711 in this storage bin. The remaining capacity is 1.
This capacity check is advantageous if you can stack materials as desired into this storage bin. You can also use this capacity check if various batches of the material are available, leading to mixed storage.
Caution
If you place the same material into the same storage bin 5 times, this does not necessarily create five separate quants. If you have not activated storage unit (SU) management in the storage type, this is generally leads to only an increase in the quantity of a single quant.
Capacity Usage Check According to Storage Unit Type (SUT)
Storage bin 01-01-01 has a total capacity of 100. Every wire basket has a capacity usage of 12. You can therefore put away 8 wire baskets in the storage bin. The remaining capacity is 4.
The capacity check is advantageous if the SUTs are next to each other and you can remove the materials from each container one after the other.
Caution
This form of capacity check only works without errors if you have activated the storage unit type check and storage unit management for the storage type.
Capacity Usage Check According to the Sum of Material and SUT
Storage bin 01-01-01 has a total capacity of 100. Each piece of material 4711 has a capacity usage of 11. Every pallet has a capacity usage of 12. You can therefore put away a pallet of 8 pieces of material 4711 in this storage bin. Thereafter, the storage bin has no further capacity.
Caution
This form of capacity check only works without errors if you have activated the storage unit type check and storage unit management for the storage type.
