Logistics Execution supports the flow of materials along the supply chain, not only between entities, but also within the warehouse for the entire supply chain management from the supplier through the customer.
The Warehouse Management system is embedded in the total SAP system as well as in the material flow of the entire organization. Example:
If a goods receipt is posted in the Inventory Management system, the stock level is increased in the WM system. Because of the goods receipt posting, an action is started in the WM system that notifies the user that material must be stored in the warehouse.

What tasks does the SAP Warehouse Management system accomplish? Management of complex warehouse structures with various types of storage areas (high rack random
storage, block storage, fixed bin storage, and so on) within one or several plants down to the storage bin level.
Planning and Monitoring with such tools as the Warehouse Activity Monitor, Rough Workload Estimate, Time Performance and the Delivery Monitor.
Processing of all stock movements such as goods receipts, goods issues, stock transfers using stock placement and stock removal strategies, also taking the characteristics of the individual materials into account.
Direct Radio Frequency support. The control of information transfers between the WM system and automated control systems.

Goods Receipt Process
GR area
Goods receipt: physical processWhen goods are received, they are usually transferred first to the goods receipt (GR) area. Stock placement into the warehouse takes place after a suitable storage bin has been determined for the goods.
Goods receipt: process within the system Inventory Management (IM)
A Material Document is created to represent the movement of goods into the warehouse. It is possible to enter palletization data at this point.
An Accounting Document is created to represent the change in value of the goods in the warehouse.
Warehouse Management (WM) A quant is created in the Goods Receipt area to represent the existence of goods now in the
warehouse. A Transfer Requirement is created since the goods must later be transferred by means of a transfer
order to a storage area within the warehouse.

2. The transfer order is created based on the transfer requirement.3. The goods become available, upon confirmation of the transfer order. Also, any differences noted at
put away are entered at this time.4. Differences, if any, are moved to a storage type for differences, and when cleared in IM:
a material document is created and an accounting document is created
There are opportunities for automation at various points throughout the process.

A Transfer Requirement (TR) is created in order to plan a stock movement. The TR indicates a need to move a specific quantity (quant) of a material into the warehouse (stock
placement) or to move a quantity out of the warehouse (stock removal). The TR provides information about anticipated stock movements. The TR is later converted into one or several Transfer Orders (TO).

When goods are delivered, the goods receipt is entered in the Inventory Management system. On the basis of the goods receipt posting, a transfer requirement and a quant in the GR area are created.
To place the goods into storage, a transfer order is created on the basis of the transfer requirement. When the transfer order is created, the system determines the destination storage bin.
The transfer order documents are used to physically place the goods into storage. The transfer quantity remains unavailable in the warehouse as long as the stock placement is not confirmed in the system.
As soon as the physical stock placement has taken place, you confirm the transfer order and also enter differences, if any.
Depending upon the system set-up, it is possible for the system to create transfer orders automatically in the background.

The preparation screen is used to divide the transfer requirement quantity among the various pallets (storage bins).
Any previously entered palletization data in the transfer requirement is displayed in the preparation screen as default entries.
If standard palletization is defined in the material master record, the system proposes distribution of the materials based on the storage unit type (SUT).
If several SUTs are defined for the material, the system proposes that any remaining amount be placed on a smaller pallet.
You can change the palletization recommendation or carry out the palletization manually. A user exit is also available for this process.

Goods issue: physical process: When goods are issued, stock removal from the warehouse takes place after the appropriate storage bin has been determined. The goods are usually transferred to the goods issue (GI) area before leaving the warehouse.
Goods issue: process within the system Inventory Management (IM) A Material Document is created to represent the movement of goods into the warehouse. It is
possible to enter palletization data at this point. An Accounting Document is created to represent the change in value of the goods in the
warehouse. Warehouse Management (WM)
A negative quant is created in the Goods Issue area to represent the existence of goods now in the warehouse.
A Transfer Requirement is created since the goods are later transferred using a transfer order from a storage area within the warehouse to the GI area.

For the removal of material, the goods issue is posted in the Inventory Management system. On the basis of this goods issue posting a transfer requirement and a negative quant in the GI area are created.
To remove the goods, a transfer order is created from the transfer requirement. When the transfer order is created, the system determines the source storage bin.
The goods are physically removed from the warehouse with the help of the transfer order documents. As soon as the physical stock removal is completed, the user confirms the transfer order. Here it is

It is possible to cancel transfer orders that have not yet been confirmed in the WM system. If, while placing goods into stock, you find a storage bin that cannot be used or if you determine that
for some reason, a stock removal cannot take place, it is possible for you to cancel a transfer order. You can notify an external system of a transfer order cancellation from the WM system and notify
the WM system of a cancellation from the external system. After a transfer order is canceled, reference documents (for example, the TR) are reopened.

Unit: Logistics Execution Overview
Topic: Goods Receipt
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Create a Goods Receipt in Inventory Management and follow through placement and confirmation in WM.
In your company, when goods are received from an external source, the material comes into a receiving area and is processed in the SAP System with the appropriate Inventory Management transaction. This material is then placed into a Goods Receipt area and identified with the Purchase Order number.
It is the responsibility of the warehouse then to pick up the material from the Goods Receipt area and put it away. Once the material is put away, the warehouse will confirm that the material has been stored as requested.
It is your responsibility to ensure that this process is efficient and to troubleshoot any issues that may arise. In order to test the efficiency of this process, you must understand all of the steps within the receiving process.
In this exercise, you will walk through the complete cycle of a Goods Receipt, from the time materials are received on the dock until those goods are placed in the appropriate storage type in the warehouse. At several points along the way, you will need to verify the stock situation.
The ## indicates your group number that has been assigned by your instructor. Wherever you see ##, please insert your group number. Please be sure to work only within your warehouse.

Unit: Logistics Execution Overview
Topic: Goods Issue
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Create a Goods Issue in Inventory Management and follow through the removal process in the warehouse.
A Goods Issue to a Cost Center is often referred to as a ‘Miscellaneous Issue’. Typically, these types of issues are done in the warehouse when other departments are requesting materials outside of regular production or maintenance; for example, materials that are stocked in the warehouse, but not consumed by the production process. These materials are to be issued from the warehouse and expensed to a department’s cost center.
In this exercise, your favorite Engineer has requested 5 Shafts, material T-BW02-## for some testing. These shafts will be expensed to the cost center of the Engineering Department (Cost Center 1000). In your company, the process for this type of transaction is that the Goods Issue (GI) is posted first in IM, and the appropriate documentation is generated in the warehouse for material removal. The movement type for GI to a Cost Center is configured such that a transfer requirement is created in the warehouse as notification to move inventory from the warehouse to a GI area. You then create a Transfer Order with reference to the Transfer Requirement. The TO that is generated is printed in the warehouse and the materials are pulled from stock.
Remember that a material is not available for subsequent functions within the warehouse until the confirmation process is complete.
2-1 An Engineer, Mr. KC Jones, has requested 5 shafts, material number T-BW02-## to be issued to his cost center 1000.

Storage bins are identified by a bin type. Example: Bin type P1 for high bins
Storage bins are organizationally grouped into storage sections. Example: Section 001 for fast-moving items. The existence of a material in a bin is defined as a quant. In bins designated for single-material storage, only one quant may be stored in the storage bin. In bins designated for mixed storage, different materials (or batches) may be stored in the same

Warehouse: Organizational divisioning, usually of a plant that is used for the purpose of managing materials or goods that are stored in storage bins.
Storage Type: A physical or logical storage area that can be defined for a warehouse in the WM system.
Storage Section / Picking Area: A logical or physical subdivision of the storage type. Storage Bin: The smallest addressable unit of space in a warehouse (often referred to as a “storage
slot“). Since the address of a storage bin is frequently derived from a coordinate system, a storage bin is often referred to as a coordinate.
Quant: The existence of a material or a batch (same lot number) of a material in a storage bin. The material quantity in a quant can be increased by an addition to existing stock.

indicate actual ownership of the stock. When the goods movements between storage locations are initiated solely via IM postings, no further
customizing settings are required. You only need to assign the storage locations to the respective warehouse number.
In this scenario, the system can no longer determine the storage location from the contents of the fields Plant and Warehouse number automatically. When the system creates transfer orders for deliveries or transfer requirements, it copies the storage location from the reference document. When you create transfer orders without a reference document manually, you must enter the storage location in addition to the plant.

Copying a Warehouse
001 002
In WM, a default warehouse number is delivered with the standard system. The entries for this organizational unit are usually used as the basis for prototyping. If you require several warehouses for testing purposes or to define your company structure, it is often useful to copy an existing organizational unit.
Copy the respective warehouse numbers using the organizational unit copier (transaction /nEC09). You will need to then maintain number range data for the new warehouse numbers and activate the respective plants / storage locations in which you want to use the new warehouse number.

Unit: Warehouse Management Structure
Topic: Organizational Elements in WM
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to: Change the name of your warehouse Verify your warehouse to plant / storage location assignment Create a new high rack storage type Create a new goods receipt interim storage type Create storage sections for these new storage types
Your company is implementing the R/3 Warehouse Management system. It is your responsibility to maintain the customizing. You need to ensure the flow of the warehouse data matches the business processes of your warehouse.
In this exercise, you are setting up a high rack storage area and a receiving area. You will review and change some administrative information about the warehouse, create two new storage types and create the supporting data for these new storage types.
1-1 Review and change some administrative information about your current warehouse. Remember that a warehouse is first defined as part of the enterprise structure. The warehouse is activated when it is assigned to the plant/storage location.
1-1-1 In the Enterprise structure, change your warehouse (1##) description to a more appropriate description for your business.
1-1-2 Still within the Enterprise structure, check your warehouse assignment. Your warehouse is assigned to which Plant / Storage Location?
Plant ______________ Storage Location ____________________
1-2 Once your warehouse has been defined, there are controls which you can set in WM Customizing to have your warehouse perform within your required parameters. In your warehouse, what values are set for the following parameters:
Default Unit of Weight: _______
SU management active: (on/off) _______________
1-3 Create a new storage type, ’015 – High Rack Storage Group##’ by copying the current high rack storage type ‘001’.
(C) SAP AG LO530 20
The placement and removal controls should have the following characteristics:
Stock Placement control
stock placement strategy ‘next empty bin’ stock placement requires confirmation activate SUT check activate storage section check
Stock Removal control
stock removal strategy ‘FIFO’ stock removal requires confirmation activate complete removal return stock to same storage bin
1-4 Now create a new interim storage type,’ 802 – GR area for group ##’ by copying storage type 902.
The placement and removal controls should have the following characteristics:
Stock Placement control
stock placement strategy ‘none’ allow for mixed storage without limitationaddition to stock is permitted
Stock Removal control
stock removal strategy ‘none’negative stock will be allowed propose post. change at storage bin
1-5 Create Storage Sections for your new storage types. Storage Type 015 will contain two sections: 001 for Fast Moving items and 002 for Slow Moving items. Remember that the Goods Receipt Storage Type 802 must have one storage section (001 GR Area).
1-6 When you created the new storage type 015, you selected the option to activate the SUT check. It is this setting that will verify that the SUT is allowed in the bin type when you create the Transfer Order. You need to allow the SUTs E1 and IP into the storage type 015. Still in customizing under Strategies Activate storage bin type search, add an entry assigning SUT E1 and IP to your new storage type 015.

Define Sort Sequence for Placement / Removal
With all of the stock placement / removal strategies, you can influence the search for a suitable storage bin with the aid of a sort variable.
The sort variable helps the system to search for storage bins. The system sorts storage bins by the sort variable first. If the sort variable has not been maintained, the system sorts by the storage bin coordinate itself.
You normally define the sort variable before you create the storage bins. Without the sort variable, the system fills the storage type row by row. For example, the system fills
the first row completely first, then the second row, then the third. This can result in a one-sided load of the warehouse.
With the sort variable, the system fills the storage bins on a stack by stack basis for each row. When the system selects bins for stock received in the warehouse, it fills the lowest level in each stack first, then the second level in each stack, then the third level, and so on.

Create storage bin data using a template
Your company is a major producer of pumps. Engineering has designed a new fly wheel for the chrome steel pump. Over the next units, this pump will be integrated into the warehouse processes and production area for sale of the final pump. In this unit, you must create the master data to support this effort.
In the first part of the exercise, you need to create a storage bin in the Fixed bin / Picking area. This is the area where you will store the finished pump.
In the second part of the exercise, you will create a range of bins using a template for the storage type that was created in the prior unit.
Your warehouse number is 1##. Please remember to be careful and create or change data only within your warehouse number.
1-1 In preparation for the sale of the finished pump, you must create the storage bin where the pump will ultimately be stored and later picked for delivery.
1-1-1 In warehouse 1##, in the Fixed Bin Storage Type, create a storage bin Box-##. Assign the bin to a storage section.
1-2 Now you wish to create multiple bins using a template for the storage type 015 that you created in a prior exercise. In this area, you want to create 2 sequences of bins. In the first sequence, you have small bins (E1) and in the second you have the larger (P1) bins.
1-2-1 In the first section, you have 4 rows with 9 sections and 4 levels. You want to create a range of bins for the coordinates ranging from A-01-01 to D-09-04. These are the smaller bin type E1 bins with a weight limit of 1000 KG. These bins are assigned to storage section 001.
How many E1 bins were created? _______
1-2-2 In the second section, you have 5 rows with 8 sections and 3 levels. These bins have the coordinate range of E-01-01 through I-08-03. These are larger bin type P1 bins with a weight limit of 2000 KG and they are assigned to storage section 002.

Create a Warehouse Management / Storage Type view for an existing material master record
Set up user defaults for maintaining the material master in the future
For the new flywheel number that Engineering has designed, the material master record T-BW01-## already exists; however, the WM view for the flywheel has not yet been created. You must create the WM view for the new flywheel and for the finished pump number T-MS-##.
In an effort to facilitate future material master maintenance, you want to set up your user defaults for maintaining the material master.
2-1 You need to create the appropriate Warehouse Management views in the material master in order to manage the materials within your warehouse.
2-1-1 Create the Warehouse Management views for the new flywheel, material number T-BW01-##. The industry sector M and material type HALB have already been established. Organization structures are plant 1000 and your warehouse number 1##. Purchasing has made an agreement with your vendor that the material will be shipped either on industrial pallets holding 50 pieces or Europallets holding 30 pieces. On receipt, the flywheels should be directed to the Shelf Storage area and on removal picked from the Shelf Storage area and addition to stock is allowed.
(C) SAP AG LO530 21
2-1-2 Now create the Warehouse Management view for the finished pump T-MS-##. The finished pump is moved from production to Fixed Bin Storage. The material master must be created at the Storage Type level so the fixed bin can be assigned. The industry sector M and material type FERT have already been established. This material is being created for plant 1000, your warehouse number 1## and your fixed bin storage type (005). These pumps will come from your production facility stacked on industrial pallets with 5 pieces each. When these pumps are delivered from production, they are put into the fixed bin storage, therefore you want to assign a stock placement and a stock removal indicator of FIX. The storage bin you created in the first part of this exercise, Box-##, is the final storage bin for these pumps. You have capacity at this bin to hold a maximum of 50 pumps.
2-2 In the future you will only process material master records from the Warehouse Management view for plant 1000 and your warehouse 1##. Create the material master user defaults so the system will automatically default these values.
You only want to see the view selection window when requested. You always want to see the organizational levels since you are working with various storage types. Set the Industry Sector to M and hide it.

A quant is automatically created in the interim storage area for goods receipt, that is, the stock quantity in Warehouse Management is the same as the quantity in Inventory Management (parallel inventory management)).
A transfer requirement can be created automatically. This is used as an information help for stock placement later on.

Interim Storage: Bin Types
Pre-defined
In the case of goods receipts that have a reference to a purchase order, you want to be able to identify the quants in the GR area according to the purchase order number. The quants are managed in the GR area (interim storage type) in a bin whose coordinate is the same as the purchase order number. This storage bin is created dynamically during the GR posting. Example storage bin: 4500000369.
If the quant is posted from Inventory Management without reference to a Purchase Order, the quant can be directed to a predefined bin. A predefined bin is defined in the WM movement type table and generated only once in the WM system with transaction LX20 (Create Bins for InterimStorage Types). Example storage bin: GR area.
In the case of a fixed bin, the system will look to the material master to find the storage bin defined for that material. If the fixed bin storage type is the same as the interim storage type, there is no transfer order required for the movement; however, you must ensure that a fixed bin is assigned to each material master at the storage type level. In this case, there are no WM-specific checks. In the case of picking from a fixed bin where the storage type is the interim storage type, the quant is removed from a fixed bin when the GI posting takes place.

With goods receipts, the source bin (interim storage bin) is assigned when the IM movement is posted and the transfer requirement is created (see "Interim Storage Type Search"). This data comes from the Movement Type.
When you create a transfer order using the transfer requirement, the destination bin in the warehouse is assigned. The destination storage bin can be: entered manually by the user assigned directly by the system.
In the creation of the Transfer Order, the system will first determine the storage type for placement using the placement indicator on the material master and the storage type search table. From the storage type, the system will determine whether or not storage sections are being used. If so, the storage section will be determined using the section indicator on the material master and the storage section search table. Finally, using the stock placement strategy for the storage type, the system will determine the bin for placement.

With stock removals, the system assigns the destination bin (interim storage bin for goods issues) when the movement is posted in the IM system and the transfer requirement is created (see "Interim Storage Type Search").
When you create the transfer order, the source bin is assigned. The source bin can be: entered manually by the user assigned by the system using the storage type search and removal strategy.
The storage section is not considered for stock removals. If picking areas are being used, the picking area is considered.
If a quantity remains after complete stock removal from the bin, the system also assigns a return storage bin.

Transferrequirement
During a goods movement, the reference movement type is used as a key to convert the MM movement type into a Warehouse Management movement type. The WM movement type defines the interim storage type and interim storage bin.
The subsequent creation of a transfer order is influenced by: the movement type material-specific factors: stock placement and removal indicators, storage class, water pollution
class, stock category and special stock indicators the put-away and picking strategies for each storage type
As an option, you can specify a storage section control factor or a section search within a storage type with material-specific section indicators, storage class and water pollution class
As an additional option, the system can check whether a particular storage unit type may be stored in a specific storage bin or storage bin type.
Finally, using the strategy assigned for the storage type, the storage bin is determined and suggested.

It is possible to set up your system so that transfer orders are created automatically when you post material documents in the Inventory Management system. When the system is configured for this process, you create material documents in the normal manner in the IM system and the Warehouse Management system subsequently creates the corresponding transfer requirements and posting change notices.
The definition of the WM movement type determines whether the system will automatically create transfer orders from the transfer requirements and posting change notices initiated in the IM system.
This process takes place in the background. If there are errors, the system can send an express mail message to a specified user. The user can then process the error from within the message.
When you post a material document in the IM system, and movement types both “with” and “without” automatic transfer order creation exist in that document, the system goes directly to the screen to “create a transfer order for a material document”.

Option 1
CheckBy Palletization
Option 3
Capacity Check
Capacity check is activated at the storage type level. Weight. The weight of the material that is being transferred to the storage bin is checked against the
remaining weight capacity of the bin. Maximum quantity for a bin in the storage type: For each storage type you can define the maximum
quantity of material that can be stored in a bin. This is often the method used with the Fixed Bin Strategy.
Storage Unit Type: You can stipulate that the storage bin can contain only one standard storage unit type. This is taken from the first SUT field on the material master record.
With strategies B (Bulk) and P (Storage Unit Management), the maximum bin occupancy or stack height depends on the bin type and the SUT. For bulk storage, capacity checking is defined in the block definition.

Capacity Usage Based on the Material

9 x 11 = 99Remaining capacity = 1
Material 4711Capacity Usage = 11
The storage of materials in a bin can be based on a neutral indicator. The basic prerequisites for these capacity checks include: Each storage bin must have a dimensional and unit-less capacity Each material can use a specific capacity for each unit of measure Each storage unit type can have a specific capacity for each storage unit
Example 1: Capacity usage based on Material The material is managed in the base unit of measure “pieces” and has a capacity usage of 11 per
piece. Storage Bin 01-01-01 has a capacity of 100.
Nine pieces of this material can be stored in storage bin 01-01-01. This leaves a remaining capacity of 1. This capacity check is advantageous if you can stack materials as desired into this storage bin. It could also replace capacity checks 2 and 3 if there are different batches that result in mixed storage.

Example 2: Capacity usage based only on SUT (storage unit type)(Must be using SUM in this storage type) Eight wire baskets can be stored in storage bin 01-01-01. This leaves a remaining capacity of 4.
This capacity check is advantageous when the SUTs are next to each other and the materials can be removed one at a time from each container.

Example 3: Capacity usage based on the sum of the material and SUT (must be using SUM in this storage type) Eight pieces can be stored in storage bin 01-01-01 on an E1 pallet. This leaves no remaining
capacity for the bin.

Remaining Capacity = 8
Material 4711Capacity Usage = 11SUT Capacity = 12
Example 3: Capacity usage based on the sum of the material and SUT (must be using SUM in this storage type) If the material is stored in the bin with one piece per E1 pallet, 4 pallets will fit in the bin (44 + 48)
and a remaining capacity of 8 exists. This capacity check is advantageous if the pallets are stacked on top of each other and the thickness of the pallet must be taken into consideration.
Before you make the first stock placement, you need to define the type of capacity check and the capacity usage of material and storage unit types. Changes that are made to these parameters afterwards cause automatic changes to storage bins, storage units and quants. If you make changes in the operational system, you must run report RLS10200 to adjust the occupied capacities for bins, storage units and quants.
Active Capacity Check: There is a switch that can be set at the storage type level so that the capacity check is integrated into the bin search. When searching for an empty bin without active capacity, the system assumes that a bin found through customizing can be used and the capacity check happens after the search. If using active capacity, the search process may take longer because each bin is examined individually.

If a difference is determined during a stock transfer, you can enter this into the system during confirmation.
When the transfer order item is confirmed, the difference is posted to the storage bin that has been specified for the difference indicator.
In a second step, the differences are cleared in the Inventory Management system either manually or using the batch input procedure.
When differences are processed in the system, the quantity of stock in the Inventory Management and Warehouse Management systems remains the same.

Difference Indicator
Differences can be directed to:
A pre-defined coordinate (Eg: Storage Type 999, Bin: Differences)
A dynamic coordinate(Eg: Storage Type 999, Bin = TO Number)
The source storage bin of the movement type for the TO item
You can specify a predefined coordinate by entering the interim storage type for differences in the Typ field the identifier of the storage bin coordinate in the Diff.bin field
You can specify a dynamic coordinate by entering the interim storage type for differences in the Typ field selecting the TO column for the interim storage type
If a discrepancy occurs during the confirmation process, the system generates the coordinates for the storage bin based on the transfer order number.
You can specify that the difference is posted to the source storage bin of the movement type for the transfer order item by selecting the SrcBn column. If the source storage type does not allow negative stock balances, the system checks whether the stock balance is going to be negative. For more information, see Negative Stock Check.
If you use this type of difference indicator, the transfer order item cannot contain a return. Furthermore, you cannot use this difference indicator for stock removals from bulk storage.

2 Second confirmation when goods are placed in the goods issue area
2 Step Confirmation
1
First confirmation when goods are picked from the bin
Business Background:With the two-step confirmation procedure, the complete confirmation process is split into two separate steps. The first step is the confirmation of the removal from the source bin. In the goods issue process, this would be the bin from which the material is picked. Then the goods are transferred to the destination bin or area. When they are put away at the destination bin, the second confirmation for the putaway is done. In the goods issue process, this would be the goods issue area.
Customer BenefitsThis reflects the physical process in the warehouse and is important when working with radio frequency devices. The source bin is available for putaway as soon as the first confirmation is complete. Two-step confirmation reflects real-time work in the SAP system. As a result of the separation of the picking and putaway process for every transaction, improved performance for delivery processing is achieved. The first confirmation is often done on the transfer order item level; at this point the delivery is not updated. The second confirmation is done for the complete transfer order; then the delivery update is performed.
Additional information:A transfer order split is done if one step and two step confirmation occur in one single TO document. Even with two step confirmation switched on, it is possible to confirm the first and the second step in one step. Differences handling is possible for each step.

In the material master record it is possible to define a storage type indicator for stock placements. In the storage type search table you can define a default vector of 30 storage types. Access Optimization: When storage type indicators are used and several materials with different
stock categories (such as special stock) exist, the number of entries in the storage type search table can become very large. To decrease the number of these entries, you can define an access strategy for the storage type search table using the access strategy table.

Using the special movement indicator, you can ensure that the GR posting creates a quant in a storage type in which a fixed bin is defined for each material.
The quant is placed directly into this storage bin and no transfer requirement is created. The interim storage bin is the final storage bin for the quant.
The special movement indicator is set either on the warehouse management view of the material master record or can be set at the time of the Inventory Management movement. This indicator is used to determine the warehouse management movement type, and thus the interim storage type for the creation of the quant. Using this indicator, different WM movement types can be assigned to one IM movement type.

You need to define important control indicators at the storage type level that determine the material flow (putaway and picking activities) and the way inventory is handled in each storage type. These control indicators are only meaningful when they are implemented in a particular combination. Not all indicators are allowed in every situation. Once defined, some of these indicators can only be changed with great caution. Some control settings can only be implemented based on strict prerequisites. For example, storage unit management can only be implemented if no stock at all exists within a storage type. Certain capacity checks can only be activated if all factors have been configured that pertain to that particular type of capacity check. You should be especially cautious when changing control indicators that pertain to stock placement strategies.
There are indicators in the storage type record that can be overwritten in the movement type. That is to say, certain functions, such as confirmation requirement for putaway and picking or allowing posting changes in the same bin, are valid in general for a particular storage type, but not for a particular posting (for example, goods receipts from production do not need to be confirmed).

Manual Bin
The system does not use a strategy to search for a storage bin. The user enters the destination storage bin when the transfer order is created. This procedure is used if the search for a storage bin is done on-site by the warehouse worker. First the warehouse worker searches for the appropriate storage bin. Then the data about the storage bin (for example, storage type and coordinates) is entered into the transfer order.
We recommend that you use "no strategy" for mixed storage and interim storage types.
Since no strategy is used, you leave the Stock placement strategy field blank in the storage type record.

Strategy K refers to stock placement of a material into a storage bin NEAR the fixed bin of the material. So that if your fixed bin is full, the system would recommend a bin in close proximity to the fixed bin.
Strategy K will assign a destination bin in a storage area that serves as a goods buffer area for fixed bin storage. Although the fixed bin storage and reserve storage are in the same physical unit, they are defined as different storage types.
The same conditions must exist for both storage types. The coordinate structure for bins in both storage types must be the same with the same sequence. The bins located above one another in the fixed bin storage area and the reserve area must have the same coordinates in the shelf and aisle areas, but different level numbers.
You can customize so that put away is attempted first in the fixed bin storage area, then in the reserve area. Strategy K only searches in the reserve area and does not check the fixed bin area.
Search first occurs within the same stack, then right beside the same stack, then the aisle on the opposite side, then neighboring aisles.

Rack storage is frequently designed so that a shelf section can accommodate different storage unit types (SUT). For example, a shelf section may accommodate a number.
You define the maximum number of quants for each combination of storage bin type and SUT. The first time goods are transferred into the storage bin the system determines what type of bin
sectioning is assigned to the shelf section. The system also determines which and how many SUTs can be transferred into the positions (compartments) of the shelf sections.
The section indicates where exactly a quant is stored within the bin. You can recognize the section by the last positions following the ‘\‘ in the bin coordinate. You can define up to 99 sections per bin.

print report because in most cases, modifications are required in the delivered print report. The procedure for this is contained in the program documentation for RLVSDR40.
Before you begin the table maintenance, you should look at each table individually and see which ones are required. Then, maintain the tables in the sequence given.

Unit: Goods Receipt
Topic: Customizing the Goods Receipt
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Customize the goods receipt activity so the Transfer Order process immediately follows the Inventory Management process
Customize the storage type and storage section search functions so materials are put away into the appropriate storage bin
In your company, the process for a goods receipt is such that a Transfer Order should be created immediately following the Inventory Management Goods Receipt. When the materials are received, the receiving personnel enter the goods receipt into the IM system with reference to a Purchase Order. The Transfer Order is created dynamically in the background and printed. When the materials have been put away to their final location, the Transfer Order is then confirmed. Received materials are to be directed to storage type 015. Materials on the smaller (E1) pallets are directed to the front of the warehouse (section 001) while the larger (IP) pallets are directed to the rear of the warehouse (section 002).
It is your responsibility to configure and test this process in the SAP System. Please remember to work only within your warehouse.
1-1 When material is received into your warehouse, it is placed into storage type 015. Because this is the process for the majority of your materials, you would like to accomplish this without using a storage type or storage section placement indicator. The material you are testing with is T-BW04-##. You must first verify the material master data.
1-1-1 Look at the material master record and verify that the storage section and storage type indicators are blank. Also note the palletization data.
Stock Placement _______
Storage Section _______
Palletization _______________________

1-2 Now you want to customize the process. In the first step, you will set the Transfer Order to be created automatically in the background following the Goods Receipt. Then you will customize the storage type and storage section search functions to place the material into the appropriate storage type and section.
1-2-1 Add an entry in the LE-WM Interface table for your warehouse and movement type 101 with reference to a purchase order so the TO is created
(C) SAP AG LO530 32
in the background when the transaction is run. If there is an error, you want to send a mail message to help you troubleshoot the problem. You want to find an existing entry in this table, copy it and modify it for your warehouse only.
1-2-2 To direct the materials to storage type 015, you must make an entry in the Storage Type Search table. You want materials to be first placed into 015. If there is not available space, you want the materials to be directed first to high rack storage type 001, then alternatively to shelf storage type 002. Make the appropriate table entry.
1-2-3 You must now make an entry in the Storage Section Search table. When materials arrive, you want them to go first to the smaller bins in the front rows of the warehouse (section 001), then to the larger bins in the back of the warehouse (section 002). Make this entry in the storage section search table.
1-2-4 When you created the bins for storage type 015, in section 001, you created bin type E1 and in section 002, you created bin bype P1. E1 represents the smaller bin sizes and P1 represents the larger bins. When small pallets are received, they will be directed to the smaller bins in section 001 first. The larger pallets will not fit in section 001, so they will be directed to section 002. These entries are found in the Storage Bin Type Search table.
1-3 Now test your configuration. There is a purchase order that exists for material T-BW04-##. Find the purchase order and process the goods receipt for a quantity of 80. You will have 1 pallet of 50 (SUT IP) and 1 pallet of 30 (SUT E1). If you have configured the warehouse correctly, a TO will be automatically created and the materials will be directed to storage type 015 with the pallet of 30 going to storage section 001 and the pallet of 50 going to storage section 002. You will need to confirm the TO before the materials are available.
1-3-1 Process the goods receipt for a purchase order for Material T-BW04-##, quantity 80.
1-3-2 Display the Transfer Order and note the following information:
Item 1: Source Storage Type _____ Storage Bin ______________ Section ____
Destination Storage Type _____ Storage Bin ______________ Section ____
Item 2: Source Storage Type _____ Storage Bin ______________ Section ____
Destination Storage Type _____ Storage Bin ______________ Section ____
The storage section is not displayed on the first page of the Transfer Order display. If you select the bin, you can see the storage section.

When stock is removed from a storage type for which "complete removal" has been defined, sometimes a smaller quantity remains after the required quantity is picked. The remaining quantity is returned to a storage bin via a "return" sub-item in the transfer order.
With the Warehouse Management (WM) component there are three methods for returning quantities to a storage bin: Stock remains at the destination bin, that is, the storage bin to which it is being transferred Stock is returned to the source bin, that is, the storage bin in which it was originally stored Stock is transferred to another storage bin
When stock is returned to another storage bin, the system uses the stock placement strategy specified for the storage type. You can change the default that the system proposes for the return storage bin in the transfer order.

Again, you define important control indicators at the storage type level that determine the material flow (putaway and picking activities) and the way inventory is handled in each storage type. These control indicators are only meaningful when they are implemented in a particular combination. Not all indicators are allowed in every situation. Once defined, some of these indicators can only be changed with great caution.
Also, some control indicators for storage types are mutually exclusive; legal or internal directives may not allow some combinations of indicators. In these cases, an error message will appear if a combination is not allowed. You should carefully check and test any new combinations before they are released in the production system.

A stock removal strategy is the procedure used to search for a suitable quant for stock removal within a storage type.
For each storage type you define a stock removal strategy (FIFO for example) that serves to optimize warehouse usage and the flow of materials.
You can define the stock removal strategy Stringent FIFO to apply to more than one storage type.

Goods Receipt = Current DateGoods Receipt = Document DateGoods Receipt = Posting Date
With this picking strategy the system proposes the oldest quant in the storage type as the quant that should be transferred.
The system generally calculates the "age" (length of time in storage) of a quant on the basis of the goods receipt posting date from the Inventory Management (IM) application component. The system automatically sets the goods receipt date in the quant and in the transfer requirement for every goods receipt posting in IM. When the transfer order is created, this date is copied over to the quant record of the destination storage bin.
You can accept the goods receipt date that the system sets or you can enter a different date. Regardless of whether the system proposes the goods receipt date or you enter a different date, the date is used to calculate the age of the quant. This date influences the sorting sequence for each material.

For some warehouse organizations or sectors of industry, the FIFO principle cannot be used. For example, in the building material industry material that is being stored temporarily, that is, material that is going to be transferred immediately out of the warehouse, is stacked on material that is already in the warehouse. If the FIFO strategy is used during picking, the material lying on top must be moved so that the warehouse worker can reach the material with the oldest goods receipt date. The LIFO strategy is provided for such situations. When the system searches for a quant to remove from stock, it always selects the last quant that was placed into stock.

With stock removal strategy “A”, the system compares the requirement quantity with the largest bin quantity in the storage type. If the requirement quantity is the same or larger (for example, because an entire pallet is required), stock is removed from this bin. If the requirement quantity is smaller, it is removed from a pallet with a partial quantity.
When the system searches for a quant, it follows these steps:
If the required quantity in the transfer order is the same or greater than the quantity of a standard storage unit, the system attempts to remove a standard storage unit from stock.
If no standard storage units are available, partial storage unit quantities are used.
If the required quantity in the transfer order is less than the quantity of the standard storage unit, the system first tries to remove partial storage unit quantities from the stock.
If no partial storage unit quantities are available, full storage units are broken.

With stock removal strategy “M”, only an amount smaller than or equal to the control quantity defined in the material master record can be removed from the storage type.
If the requirement quantity is larger than the control quantity, the system searches for a quantity in the next storage type (default vector in the storage type search table).

Multiples of 100 = PalletStorage Type = 007Rounding Qty = 100
Material Master:Palletization Qty = 100
Quantity rounding is meaningful in combination with picking strategy “M”. If pallet quantites, carton quantities or individual quantities are to be picked from a chain of storage types, this can be done by defining the rounding quantity and control quantity in the material master record.
First, in customizing, switch on the round off quantity field at the storage type level. For the first storage type of the search sequence, (pieces) enter the number of pieces in a carton
minus 1 as the control quantity. For requirement quantities greater than or equal to a carton, the system will skip over this storage type.
For the second storage type of the search sequence, (cartons) enter the pallet quantity minus 1 as the control quantity and the rounding quantity equal to the carton quantity. For requirement quantities greater than or equal to one pallet, the system skips this storage type and generates transfer order items for complete carton quantities only.
In the third storage type, you do not enter a control quantity, but the rounding quantity is equal to the pallet quantity. The system then generates transfer order items for full pallets only. For remaining quantities, the system returns to the storage type sequence and picks from the first or second storage types.
Note: the system does not round to zero so if there are not enough individual pieces in the first storage type, a carton will be broken. Also, if the requested quantity is larger than the available quantity in a bin, it is not rounded. If a carton plus a few individual pieces are located in a bin in the second storage type, and the requirement quantity is greater, the bin will be emptied.

For materials managed with shelf life expiration date (SLED), the expiration date is noted in the quant data when the goods are received. At that time the system checks whether the SLED entered is allowed or not.
By using stock removal strategy “H”, you ensure that materials with the fewest days remaining before the expiration date are removed from storage first.
A report is also available to select and list materials in the warehouse that respond to a user-defined remaining time before a given expiration date. This is known as the shelf life expiration date (SLED) control list.
For materials that are managed in batches, the processing of materials that are to be removed from stock can be handled using the general batch search task.

It is generally assumed that only one picking strategy is allocated to each storage type. However, a strategy based on the storage type is not usable in all sectors of industry.
In WM, it is possible to remove stock according to the FIFO principle by taking into account all quants within a warehouse. In this case, the system does not scan individual storage types in sequence but it proposes the oldest quant in the entire warehouse as the quant to be removed from the warehouse. The system does not take into account the picking strategies specified for the individual storage types. This would lead to inconsistencies.
Some storage types should be excluded from the stringent FIFO strategy, otherwise incorrect picks would result. For example, the interim storage area for differences should be excluded from the stringent FIFO strategy. The stringent FIFO strategy is set or switched off in the table Exclusion of storage types from Stringent FIFO.

Topic: Customizing the Goods Issue
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Customize the goods issue activity so that the TO creation progrm is called immediately following the Inventory Management transaction
A Goods Issue to a Cost Center is often referred to as a ‘Miscellaneous Issue’. Typically, these types of issues are done in the warehouse when other departments are requesting materials outside of regular production or maintenance; for example, materials that are stocked in the warehouse, but not consumed by the production process. These materials are issued from the warehouse and expensed to a cost center.
When you process a goods issue, you want to be able to combine the Inventory Management and Warehouse Management activities so that immediately following the IM transaction, the Transfer Order program comes into the foreground. During the stock removal, you want the system to look first in your storage type 015 for available inventory. If there is no stock in storage type 015, then you want the system to search throughout the other storage types for the oldest quant. The user will make the final decision about which quant to select.You want to process the TO online in the foreground and then confirm the TO as a separate step.
It is your responsibility to configure and test this business process. Remember to work only within your warehouse!!
1-1 When materials are requested from outside departments, you first process the issue in IM and then follow through with the WM transactions. You want to customize the system to follow the business scenario outlined above. You will be testing with material T-BW04-##.
1-1-1 Check the material master record and verify the Stock Removal indicator.

1-2-3 Now you want to modify the storage type search sequence so that the system will search first in storage type 015 for an available quant. If there is no material available in 015, then you want to search throughout the warehouse for the oldest available quant.

In day-to-day warehouse activity, it is often necessary for warehouse workers to move inventory from one bin to another, whether combining inventory, rearranging shelves or correcting errors. For this activity, we need to be able to move quants from one bin location to another.
There are also processes in IM which create posting change notices in the warehouse. These scenarios include release from Quality Inspection or Blocked Stock, material identification changes and corrections to batch-managed materials. Warehouse workers need to be able to process these activities, using posting change notices.

To transfer material company code to company code, you use the transaction plant to plant, but the plants are assigned to different company codes. In this instance, two accounting documents are generated, one for the sending plant and one for the receiving plant.

A plant-to-plant transfer posting in the Inventory Management system can result in a posting change within a warehouse number.
If stocks for two separate plants are managed within the same warehouse number, a transfer posting in the Inventory Management system results in a posting change within the warehouse number (in the WM system).
However, if the two plants are managed in two separate warehouse numbers, the transfer posting results in a stock removal from the one warehouse number and a stock placement into the second warehouse number.

To release materials from quality inspection, you can carry out a transfer posting in the Inventory Management system or make a usage decision for an inspection lot in the Quality Management System.
Afterwards, you create a transfer order for the posting change notice in the WM system. This is used to convert the material quants (possible on a material document basis) with stock category Q.
If a transfer requirement for the stock placement is still open, this is also updated by the posting change.
Depending upon the set-up, it is possible for the system to create transfer orders automatically in the background.
Again, the posting change quantity can be posted to the original bin or to another storage bin.

Topic: Bin to Bin Movements
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Process bin to bin movements within the warehouse
In day to day warehouse activity, it is often necessary for warehouse workers to move inventory from one bin to another, whether combining inventory, rearranging shelves or correcting errors. For this activity, we need to be able to move quants from one bin location to another.
Within the warehouse, there is a movement type ‘999’ defined for bin to bin movements. This movement type allows you to move freely from one bin to another without reference to any other document and without affecting IM.
This first section of this exercise is two-part. In the first part, you will move one material within the warehouse from one bin to another. In the second part, you will move several materials from one bin to another using a list. When you use the list, you want to create a variant for the display for your use in the future.
1-1 Move a quant from a bin in storage type 007 to a bin in storage type 001 by creating a TO without reference.
1-1-1 Look at the Bin Stock per Material for material T-BW08-##. Note several of the quants in Storage Type 007.

1-1-2 You want to move one quant from storage type 007 to storage type 001 (high rack storage). Create a Transfer Order without reference and move the material from storage type 007 to storage type 001 into an available bin.
1-1-3 Confirm the TO.

1-2 You have just been notified that the maintenance department needs to fix some of the shelving in Storage Type 007 Section 002 area. You must select all materials in the Storage Type 007 Section 002 and move them to Storage Type 007 Section 001 while this maintenance occurs.
1-2-1 Look at the function Create Transfer Orders from List. You want to select those materials that are in Section 002, but the Section is not visible from the current list display. Change the display list format so the section is visible. You can remove other information that is not relevant as you wish (for example, Special Stock Number). Save the new display format as a variant with the name Group-##.
1-2-2 Using the Create Transfer Orders from List function, create the appropriate Transfer Orders to move the material in Storage Type 007, Section 002 to Section 001 of the same storage type. Transfer the quants in the foreground and choose to confirm the TO immediately.

Topic: Transfer Posting – Material to Material
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Process a Material to Material Posting Change
Transfer Postings are movements within the warehouse that can be either ‘physical’ (moving a material from one place to another) or ‘logical’ (changing the identification or characteristic of a material). These Inventory Management Transfer Postings cause Posting Change Notices to be created within the warehouse. Examples of IM Transfer Postings that cause posting change notices include inventory releases from Quality Inspection or Block Stock, material revision changes that change the identification of a material, or changes and corrections to a batch managed material. In this exercise, you will change the identification of a material and process the resulting posting change notice in the foreground.
2-1 You have a quantity of 100 pumps material number T-BW-## in your warehouse. Engineering notifies you that 25 of these pumps have been retested and are now to be identified as T-MS-## pumps.

For this type of material staging, transfer requirements can be created: automatically when the production order is released manually.
Crate parts are ordered manually when a crate is almost empty. For Release Order parts, the transfer quantity is calculated based on the planned quantities of
components of selected, released orders. The stock situation in the production area and the replenishment storage types are included in this calculation.

Usage posting
The final step in the material staging process is to post a goods issue for consumption. When a production order is completed, the materials have been removed from the production storage bins in the warehouse and the final product has been fully assembled, it is still necessary to balance the stock quantities in the IM and WM systems.
You post the use of materials to the database either by "backflushing" with the completion confirmation or directly in the IM system. This posting is necessary to reduce the stock quantities in the production storage bins of the WM and IM systems.
Since the transfer requirement for the production order was created far in advance of this goods issue posting, the materials are delivered in a timely manner to the production storage bins. You post the actual goods issue in the IM system (or in the PP system) after the product has been assembled in production.
Since the production storage bin was noted in the production order when it was released, the material usage posting reduces the quantity in the production bins (in the system) and no further action is required in the WM system.

The usage posting is basedon the release of the current

There are no dynamic coordinates.
The high flexibility of the processes necessary to pick materials directly for serial orders requires extremely complex organization.
The timing of material supply should be organized as follows: Early enough to carry out the physical supply using the WM system on time Late enough to avoid charges that are relevant to material supply (location, material, etc.)
Especially when many changes must be made, it is recommended that you use “crate parts” as a material staging type.

KANBAN
With KANBAN, the material flow is organized by containers that are located at the work centers. They contain the amount of material that the workers need at their work center for a certain period of time. If the container is emptied by the demand, KANBAN replenishment is triggered. Supply source for the requested material can be another production unit, the warehouse, or a vendor. Since the container arrives at the work center, the worker can help himself from further containers.
The goal is that production controls the production process itself and the effort for the worker in production is reduced. Stocks and lead times can be reduced by the self controlling and replenishment created close to actual requests (replenishment is started when the material is needed).
Material is staged in production where it is needed. It is available in small buffers; material staging doesn‘t have to be planned. Instead, material is replaced very soon by KANBAN.
As of release 4.5A, Warehouse Management (WM) is interfaced to the SAP Production Planning (PP) application component to replenish kanban stock to production supply areas. Prior to Release 4.5A, replenishment from a WM warehouse could only take place as a stock transfer between two storage locations. This stock transfer had to be started in Inventory Management. With the new process you can initiate replenishment directly from within WM.

KANBAN Replenishment Strategy withWM
To provide KANBAN replenishment from a WM warehouse to production, you need to carry out the following steps:1. Request the KANBAN replenishment either manually using the PP system or by scanning a bar
code. Set the container to “empty”. The system records the request in the form of a transfer requirement (TR). The WM transfer requirement number appears in the KANBAN itself. From the KANBAN information window, you can display the corresponding transfer requirement from within the WM system.
2. Process the transfer requirement (TR) like any normal TR in WM by creating a transfer order (TO) for it.
3. Confirm the transfer order. Once you confirm the TO, the system updates the KANBAN in PP by setting the status to "full". As an alternative to confirming the TO, the confirmation of the replenishment can take place in the KANBAN. If you set the status of the KANBAN to "full", the system confirms the corresponding TO automatically.
4. After the replenishment has been processed in WM, a stock transfer results between the WM storage location and the KANBAN storage location. The system can process this stock transfer automatically when the TO is confirmed or you can process it manually by selecting PostChange Inventory management Stor.loc. to stor.loc. from the WM menu bar.

For the replenishment storage location, you need to enter a WM-relevant storage location. This way, the system knows that it is dealing with a WM-relevant replenishment. In addition to the storage location, you need to enter the WM data to include the warehouse number, storage type as a KANBAN interface (storage type 150 in the standard system) and the storage bin..
Set up the appropriate replenishment movement type for KANBAN in WM (standard is movement type 350).
Setup the storage location control for manual posting chnages or for automatic processing.

Unit: Production Integration
Topic: Setting Up Production
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Set up master data and customizing for WM Staging.
In your company, you have materials that are supplied to the production line in three different ways. First, you have crate materials that are supplied to the line based on container quantities. When one container becomes empty, that container is refilled and returned to the line based on a visual cue. These parts are typically parts that are common to multiple assemblies and are often large, bulky materials.
Second, you have materials that are picked specifically for a production order, depending on the product that you are building. These parts are typically more specialized, and may be high dollar inventory items that are supplied to the line only when you are building a particular product.
Third, you have materials that are supplied to the line for several production orders at a time. These are typically floor stock type items like nuts, bolts and screws, where you want to have 3-6 months of inventory available on the production floor.
In this exercise, you will define the process for production orders such that all three material staging types are utilized. Engineering has designed a new flywheel for an existing pump. It is your responsibility to set up the production line for this new material so that the new, revised pump can be manufactured on your existing production line. You want to set this material up to be stored at point of use on the production floor and replenished based on a visual cue.
You will verify the supply area, create a control cycle for the new material, enter a production order for the new pump, stage all the required materials, complete the production order and stock the finished assembly. This exercise covers the full circle of events required for managing the entire production process.
Keep in mind that the steps in this exercise are not necessarily all performed by warehouse personnel, but are generally performed by a combination of production, planning and warehouse personnel. As you work through the exercise, think about which personnel in your company might perform each task.
PART ONE:

2-1 In Part One of this exercise, you will set up the production supply process, verifying the configuration and creating or changing the necessary master data.
2-1-1 Look at the Production Supply Area PVB 1310## in the Warehouse Master Data.
Which Storage Location is assigned to your supply area? _______
2-1-2 The production supply area is linked in Production Planning to the Work Center. Go to the work center T-WM## Basic Data view and verify that the correct supply area is assigned.
2-1-3 Use Field Level help to determine where in R/3, other than WM, is the Supply Area Used? _______________________________________
2-1-4 Display the Control Cycle and verify the following:
In order to have pick parts staged by production order, there must be one material-independent control cycle. Does this control cycle exist? _____
For this material-independent control cycle, to which bin will the materials be delivered ? _________________
2-1-5 There is a release order part T-BW07-## in your process. Verify the control cycle for this material. What is the staging indicator for this control cycle record? __________________
2-1-6 The new flywheel, T-BW01-##, is a crate part and is delivered to the production line based on a visual cue. There are 2 Containers, each holding 20 flywheels. The container is stored on the production floor in storage type 100 in a bin labeled PROD-1310. When one container becomes empty, it is replenished from the warehouse. Based on this information, create a control cycle record for this flywheel.

Unit: Production Integration
Topic: Kanban (Optional Exercise)
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Set up master data and customizing for KANBAN
In one area of your company, you are running a separate storage location using KANBAN as your method of resupply to production. You need to configure the system so that materials can be supplied from your warehouse to the production area using KANBAN methodology.
In this exercise, you will configure the system and create the master data required for utilizing the KANBAN functionality. This exercise covers the full circle of events required for managing the entire production process.
Keep in mind that the steps in this exercise are not necessarily all performed by warehouse personnel, but are generally performed by a combination of production, planning and warehouse personnel. As you work through the exercise, consider which personnel in your company might perform each task.
1-1 First you must define the control between Production and the Warehouse. In Production Customizing, verify the Stock Transfer Strategy.
1-1-1 In the Stock Transfer Strategy, verify that for plant 1200, strategy 0006 is configured as Stock Transfer with transfer requirement. The TO should be automatically created and no difference indicator is set. Be sure that From Different Plant movement is indicated.
1-1-2 The Storage Type for Kanban for your warehouse has been defined as 150. In WM Customizing under Interfaces Define KANBAN, you must verify the assignment of WM movement type 350 to storage type 150 in your warehouse.
1-1-3 Verify the Storage Location Control from your warehouse to Plant 1200 Storage Location PL06. What movement type will be run in the background at the time of the TO Confirmation? ________________
1-2 Create the master data.
1-2-1 Create material K-1## to use for the KANBAN test by copying the material R-1270C. You need to create this material for both Plant 1200, Sloc PL06 and for Plant 1000, Warehouse 1##. The Industry Sector is M, and the Material Type is Raw Material.

Overview of Shipping Process and WM
Depending upon the picking technique, materials are picked from the fixed bin (with a picking list from the Sales and Distribution system) or a transfer order for a delivery is created.
If picking takes place without a transfer order, the WM status in the delivery is set to “N” (not relevant for Warehouse Management).
If picking takes place with a transfer order, the WM status in the delivery is set to “A” (relevant for Warehouse Management). The WM status is updated after each step during transfer order processing.

When the picking technique is set to Random Picking, the system will always expect a Transfer Order to be created for the delivery item.
Upon confirmation, the materials are delivered to the interim storage type and bin defined for the movement type (601).
Upon post goods issue, the materials are relieved from the interim storage type and bin, and the order is available for billing.

Stock removal based on materials
Delivery based distribution
Two-Step Picking is an extension of multiple processing. For Two-Step picking, the picking process is divided into 2 steps: First Step:
The entire quantity of needed materials is picked to fill requests (for example, several deliveries) for the materials.
Second Step:The total quantity is divided and allocated to match the individual requirements.
The goal is to go once to a bin to pull materials, even if the requirements are from different deliveries.
Two-Step picking was developed using the group number as a basis. The group number serves as a means to combine several deliveries. Additionally, you can carry out other functions associated with the group number, such as printing and confirmation.

Transfer Order Splitting
To achieve a balanced distribution of the workload of the warehouse, Transfer Orders can be split. Together with the splitting process, dynamic sorting of the TO items takes place. For this sorting process, you can use the sequence field in the storage bin. This field allows you to enter the exact sequence in which the storage bins are to be processed.
Transfer Orders are split by a profile for the warehouse number. You can split the TOs by: Storage type and picking area Target time (header information) , volume and weight as value limits User exit (either for sorting or for splitting)

At the interface from SD Shipping to WM, you can set immediate or automatic transfer order creation for deliveries. Processing is controlled by the message control function of the shipping module. Via the condition technique, you can initiate the message type WMTA upon creation of the delivery. The requirement for this is that at least one item of the delivery is relevant for WM. The combination “Shipping point / Delivery type” is responsible for finding the message type.
Depending on the processing of the message type “WMTA”, there are different processing type: Time 1-3 (processing later)
In this case, the message is processed either via a batch program or manually via the transaction “Messages for delivery”. Since this processing type is executed separately from the delivery creation process, we refer to this as Automatic Transfer Order Creation.
Time 4 (Processing Immediately)Here message processing is initiated immediately after the delivery has been created. Therefore, this is referred to as Immediate Transfer Order Creation.

Unit: Delivery Processing
Topic: Two-Step Picking (Optional Exercise)
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Process multiple delivery requirements with 2-step picking
When picking for multiple sales orders, it is your goal to go once to a bin to pick the required materials, regardless of the number of sales order requirements you may have. It is your process to pick all materials required for shipment within a given period, then deliver those materials to an area to be sorted for shipment against the specific requirement. Therefore, you move material from the warehouse to an intermediate area, then from that area to the shipping area where requirements are matched to the specific delivery note.
2-1 In this scenario, you have three sales orders with products due to ship for various combinations of materials that are stored in your warehouse. You want to process these deliveries using two-step picking functionality, where you want to go once to a bin to pick all of the requirements, then redistribute those materials back to the original delivery notes for shipping.
2-1-1 Go to customizing interfaces in Warehouse Management to verify that your warehouse is relevant for 2-Step Picking. What is the WM movement type configured for removal 2-Step Picking? __________
2-1-2 Look at WM Movement Type 850 in your warehouse. What is the Destination Storage Type for movement type 850? _________
2-1-3 Look at Storage Type 200 in your warehouse. Is this an Interim Storage Type? ____________
How can you tell? _____________________________________________
2-1-4 Now look at the Storage Type Search Sequence. Is there a special entry in your warehouse for 2-step picking? ______
2-2 In this exercise, you are processing delivery notes that are required for service parts for your pump. Your order processing department has received orders that are due for processing today. The delivery notes have already been created for you. You have 3 delivery notes with various combinations of materials T-BW04-## and T-BW05-##.
2-2-1 In the first step, you must group together the deliveries and assign a group number for further processing. Use the grouping functionality in the Outbound Delivery process to group together the deliveries. Group Number _______

Replenishment for Fixed Storage Bins
When you use fixed bin replenishment, the system calculates the replenishment quantities that are necessary to maintain appropriate stock levels based on information that you provide.
You first must define a WM movement type for storage types that use the fixed bin stock placement strategy. In the standard WM system, movement type 319 was created for this purpose. Link the movement type with the fixed bin storage type.
You must maintain the material master record for the fixed bin storage type. You must enter data in the Storage bin, Maximum bin quantity, Minimum bin quantity and Replenishment Quantity data fields at the Storage Type level in the Warehouse Management view of the Material Master record.

Replenishment for Fixed Bins: Batch Report
You can process a report (RLLNACH1) in batch to replenish fixed bin storage types at regular predefined time intervals or online as required.
When you run RLLLNACH1, the system will recommend a Transfer Requirement if your stock falls below the minimum bin quantity you have defined. The Transfer Requirement will be recommended in increments of the Replenishment Quantity up to the Maximum Bin Quantity.
Afterwards, you process the transfer requirements to create transfer orders according to the normal procedures you would use to carry out stock movements within WM.

Creating TOs Automatically for TRs
For certain classes of transfer requirements, it is possible to set up the Warehouse Management system to create transfer orders automatically as a background process. You set up the system to carry out this process by setting an indicator in each movement type.
When you create a transfer requirement manually, the system copies this indicator into the transfer requirement header. To activate the automatic creation of transfer orders for these transfer requirements you must start the report RLAUTA10 as a batch job. For this process you define a variant for each different indicator. This makes it possible for you to define different starting times and time spans to repeat each task periodically

As of this release, you can take care of internal warehouse replinishment at the time of transfer order confirmation. This replenishment can be triggered for random bin managed storage types and for fixed bin storage types.
For random bin managed storage types, you define the minimum bin quantity for the storage type view in material master as minimum quantity in the storage type.
For random bin management replenishment, you can use the report RLLNACH4 to create a TR. This processing is similar to the processing of RLLNACH1 and RLLNACH2. Else, you have the possibility to use immediate TO creation for replenishing the whole storage type.

The process for taking inventory is the same, whether you are doing annual or continuous inventory. When you take annual inventory, the entire storage type is blocked for movement and all bins are
counted. With continuous inventory and cycle counting, only the affected bins are blocked for movement.
When you select continuous inventory, you are counting the bin and you must count all quants within that bin. When you select cycle count, you are counting the material, wherever that material is within the storage type(s) selected. In the case of mixed storage, all quants within the bin must be counted.
When you clear differences in WM, any discrepant amount is written to the interim storage type for differences and the bins are unblocked. You then clear differences in IM to adjust the inventory balance and create the accounting document.
Warehouse inventory data is year-dependent and must be reset at the beginning of a new inventory period. The program RLREOLPQ is provided for this purpose.

With the Enjoy release, the physical inventory was changed to Table Controls. Effected transactions are Create System Inventory Record, Change System Inventory Record,Display System Inventory Record, Enter Inventory Count,Change Inventory Count, and Display Inventory Count.
For the transactions Create, Change, and Display Inventory Record, the processing logic is such that with the creation of an inventory record, new items are visible on the same screen where you enter the new item.
The transactions Create, Change, and Display Inventory Record use per default the latest recount version. If you wish to work with a prior version, you must specify it.
There is one central function module L_COUNT_DATA_PROCESS that ensures the necessary data verification. This is also used for IDOC processing instead of processing the inventory screens in the background.

Continuous Inventory
With the continuous inventory method you take inventory on a selected number of storage bins in a storage type. The inventory can take place at any time during the fiscal year.
Compared to the annual inventory count at the end of the fiscal year, the continuous inventory has some advantages:
The effort for the inventory is not concentrated on a certain day or days but is distributed over the entire year. This can result in a better leveling of the workload in the warehouse.
Inventory can be conducted during slow times in the warehouse, for example, during summer vacation.
With a reduction in the effort required at the end of the fiscal year, a company can respond better to problems that might arise during an end-of-year closing.
When an inventory is carried out on a continuous basis, up-to-date information about the correspondence between the warehouse stock and the book inventory is always available..

Cycle counting in the Warehouse Management system makes it possible for you to separate materials into classes (such as A, B, C) and take inventory for each class separately several times throughout the year. You define the count frequency by class. It is possible to cycle count within a storage type or count across storage types as long as all storage types are set with cycle counting as the inventory method.
In the Inventory Management IMG under Physical Inventory, you define the cycle counting indicators and the number of times per year that inventory counts are to be taken for each class.
Then you enter the cycle count indicator (A, B, C) into the Storage View of the material master record for each material that will be counted using the cycle counting task. This can be set manually or by using the report RMCBIN00.

Storage bin
Inventory based on stock placement: the system sets the inventory indicator for the storage bin the first time goods are placed in the storage bin for that fiscal year. The indicator is set when the transfer order is confirmed.
Transfer orders provide proof of movement following the inventory. Because all movements to this bin must be individually identifiable throughout the fiscal year, you need to archive the transfer orders when you reorganize the data base.
With this method, bins that are not occupied during the fiscal year are not counted; therefore, you should also set the annual inventory method for this storage type so that you can conduct an annual inventory for these storage bins.

The zero stock check is activated by the system if during transfer order creation it is determined that the source bin will become empty by the stock removal.
The transfer order for stock removal is printed with a notice that zero stock check is active for a specific bin.
The zero stock check must be verified when the transfer order is confirmed. If the warehouse worker determines that the storage bin is not empty, the actual quantity remaining is
entered at confirmation of the transfer order. The system carries out the correction of stock using the interim storage type for differences. The difference must be cleared from WM and recorded in IM. If a bin is empty although there should be stock you can request the zero stock check manually.

Inventory Sampling Procedure
The inventory can be carried out with periodic sampling (at a given date) or continuous (over an extended period of time). A stock management unit is the Storage Type. You must assign stock levels by assigning which stock management units are to be included in the sampling.
The Stock Population is divided in a complete count area and a sampling area, which is divided into several classes. (This is done automatically.)
After the stratification, the Random Selection is generated (the system determines the stock management units to be counted for each stratum).
The inventory documents are created. These documents are required for all stock management units drawn during random selection and for all that were allocated to the complete-count areas. You then count, weight, and measure your stocks.
Carry out the update: During this process, the system reads the count results and reads any changed book inventory balances and book values.
Extrapolation: The system estimates the physical inventory value on the basis of the latest counting results.
The inventory is successful if the total physical inventory value deviates from the book inventory value by no more than 2% (in the standard system).

12.16Physical Inventory Processes with WM - Exercises
Unit: Physical Inventory Processes with WM
Topic: Continuous Inventory and Cycle Counting
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Customize settings in the warehouse to allow different inventory methods
Execute the basic physical inventory process in the warehouse
You must decide which inventory method your company will use in the warehouse. You must configure and test at least one inventory method.
With the continuous inventory method, you take inventory on a selected number of storage bins in a storage type at any time during the fiscal year.
Cycle Counting in the warehouse allows you to separate materials into classes (such as A, B, C) and take inventory for each class separately several times throughout the year.
With either inventory method, the basic inventory process remains the same once the inventory document is created.
In this exercise, you can choose whether you would like to process an inventory using Continuous or Cycle Count as the inventory method.
1-1 You must make the appropriate entry in customizing to run the inventory method of your choice.
1-1-1 Remember that the inventory method is set in customizing at the storage type level. Decide whether you want to use Continuous or Cycle Count as your inventory method and set the method for storage type 002 appropriately.
1-1-2 If you chose Continuous as your inventory method, proceed to step 1-2.
1-1-3 If you chose Cycle Count as your inventory method, proceed to step 1-3.

13.5Warehouse Management Structure - Exercises 2
Unit: Warehouse Management Structure
Topic: Storage Location Control
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
Copy an existing warehouse
Create two Storage Locations and assign them to your warehouse.
Set up a Storage Location as the standard.
Set up the Storage Location to Storage Location Transfer Posting to be automatic when the Transfer Order confirmation for putaway occurs.
Send a mail message to the person confirming the Transfer Order if an error should occur.
Your Delivery process is such that you want materials in the Goods Receipt area to be excluded from availability until they are put away to their final destination. Your delivery process considers materials in storage location 11## as available inventory. You want to create a new storage location 22## for your GR area.
When you process materials from 22## to 11##, you want the storage location to storage location transfer to happen automatically upon Transfer Order confirmation.
If an error should occur during the TO confirmation, you want to send a mail message to the person confirming the Transfer Order.
2-1 In your company, you want to structure your warehouse such that received materials are not available for sales order delivery notes until those materials are put away to their final storage type. Your delivery notes are created to ship from storage location 11##. You want to create a new warehouse (2##) with two storage locations (11## and 22##). 11## will be your standard storage location.
2-1-1 Copy warehouse 001 to your new warehouse 2##.
2-1-2 Create new Storage Locations 11## and 02## in Plant 1000.
2-1-3 Assign the new Storage Locations 11## and 22## to your Plant 1000, Warehouse 2##.
2-1-4 Establish Storage Location 11## as the standard storage location in Plant 1000 warehouse 2##.
2-1-5 In the same table, set up the new Storage Location 22## so it is not copied into the transfer requirement from the reference document. This allows the system to use the standard storage location (11##) when creating a Transfer Order from the Transfer Requirement.
2-1-6 Set up the Storage Location to Storage Location Transfer to be automatic upon confirmation of the Transfer Order used to move the goods from the
(C) SAP AG LO530 5
interim GR area Sloc 22## into the main warehouse (Sloc. 11##) using a 311 movement type. In addition, send a message to the person confirming the Transfer Order in case an error should occur.
2-1-7 You will need some storage bins in storage type 001. Create 2 storage bins (Bin 01, Bin 02) manually. These bins are bin type P1, storage section 001.
2-2 Now test your configuration settings.
2-2-1 Create the Warehouse Management view for material T-BW08-## for warehouse 2##. You want this material to be directed to high rack storage upon receipt. There is a placement indicator HRL defined for this purpose. Set the Stock Placement and Stock Removal indicators to HRL for plant 1000, warehouse 2##.

Unit: Case Study
15ObjectiveThis case study has been created to challenge you and reinforce the concepts of the warehouse management application and customizing that you learned this week. The task is to customize a warehouse from a presented business scenario, then test the configuration using standard business processes.
This week, you have been introduced to basic warehouse management processes within the R/3 system. At the beginning of the week, we looked at the application and focused on processing transactions in a warehouse that was already customized for this purpose. Later in the week, we made changes to that existing warehouse configuration and tested some transactions. Now, you will create a new warehouse using an existing warehouse structure as a model, and test your configuration using standard business transactions.
16Business ScenarioYour company has decided to build a new warehouse because the existing warehouse has exceeded its capacity. This new warehouse will be used mainly for storage and shipping of finished pumps. Your team is responsible for creating and customizing this new warehouse so that standard business processes can be carried out using the SAP R/3 system.
On the following pages, you are given the information required to set up the structure and master data for this new warehouse. A description of the business processes and a rough layout of the new warehouse are included. Read through this information carefully before you proceed to the activities that follow.
(C) SAP AG LO530 7
17MaterialsYou will store the materials T-MS-##, T-BW-##, and T-BW20-## in the new warehouse. The following chart describes the palletization data for these materials. Use this chart when you are ready to enter the material master data later in the exercise.

18Warehouse StructureYou will have three different types of storage: a fixed bin storage area for picking, a shelf storage area for smaller amounts and partials, and a pallet storage area for full pallets. You will need to create some bins in each of these storage types. You can create the bins manually or automatically for each storage type. In your shelf storage, you will create some bins with bin type E1 and some with bin type P1.
19ProcessesFor each material listed above, you want to carry a minimum quantity in the fixed bin of at least 10 PC. Upon goods receipt of these materials, you want them first to be placed in pallet storage, then in the shelf area if the pallet area is full. The fixed bins will be resupplied from the shelf storage area, then the pallet area.
You will then test your configuration with goods receipts and goods issue for delivery. It is your process that goods issue in small quantities (less than 100) should be issued from the fixed bin storage type, while large quantities (greater than 100) are picked from the other storage areas.
One way to consider your processes is to think about each movement type and how the business process in your company works with each movement type in the warehouse. The following matrix example is intended to help you make the decisions that are relevant to each movement type.
In the first column, you would list the movement types that are necessary to support your business processes. In the second column, you can decide whether you need for that movement type to create a TR, not create a TR, or cancel an existing TR. In the TO column, indicate whether you want to create the TO manually, create it in the background automatically or using a batch process, or do you want to have the IM transaction call the TO creation. In the next column, should confirmation happen automatically or is confirmation of the TO a required step. Printing options to consider include whether you want to print one item on a page, multiple items on a page, multiple processing, or no printing at all. Once you have completed the matrix, you have the information you need to customize the warehouse movements according to your business requirements. The first line is provided as an example.

19.2.4In customizing under Enterprise Structure, create a new storage location: Copy storage location 01## as 02##. Remember that the storage location is the link between IM and WM.
Still under Enterprise Structure, create the new warehouse by copying an existing warehouse. Warehouse 001 is delivered to you to use as a template for customizing your own warehouse. Copy warehouse 001 as 2##. 2## becomes your new warehouse number. Remember that the warehouse structures are copied, but master data for the warehouse is not, so you still need to create the master data records required for this warehouse.
Still within the Enterprise Structure, assign your new warehouse to plant 1000 / new storage location 02##. (This activity activates the warehouse.)
Moving to Warehouse management customizing, define the control parameters for warehouse number:

Note: VA= Method of Assignment.
Storage Type Definition: When you copied your warehouse, all of the standard storage types for warehouse 001 copied over to your new warehouse. You can create new storage types for the three storage areas defined in your business scenario, or you can use the standard storage types 002 for Shelf Storage, 005 for Fixed Bin Storage, 007 for Pallet Storage. If you create new storage types, use the standard storage type to copy from. In either case, verify that the storage types have the following characteristics:

If you are not using the standard storage types, you need to create the following storage sections. If you are using the standard storage types, verify that the following sections exist:
Shelf Storage: Storage sections 001 - Fast moving items
002 - Slow moving items
Fixed Bin: Storage section 001 - Total Section.
Pallet Storage: Storage section 001 – Total Section

Storage type indicators: Storage type indicators can be used to influence the storage type search sequence. If you would like to create a storage type indicator, make sure that you have an entry in the storage type search table for each storage type indicator that you create. Then tie that storage type indicator to the material master record for placement or removal. The material then will be directed to the storage type indicated in the storage type search table for that entry.
Activate the new storage type search according to specifications described in the business process. Use the following table for reference.
(C) SAP AG LO530 15
In the ”Storage Type Search” table above, for warehouse 200, when material with no storage type indicator is received (activity E) into unrestricted use or quality stock, it is placed into storage type 001, then 002. On removal (activity A), materials with no storage type indicator in unrestricted use or quality stock is picked from storage type 001, then 002. If material with a storage type indicator of FIX comes in for placement (activity E), it will be placed first in storage type 007 (pallet storage), and then in storage type 002 (shelf storage). For removal, (activity A) those materials will be picked from storage type 005, unless the reference movement type = 320 (replenishment), in which case the material will be resupplied from storage type 002, then 007.
Storage Section Indicators: Storage section indicators can also be added to the material master record to direct specific materials into specific sections. In this case, we have said that in the storage type for fixed bins and pallets, there is only one section. In the shelf storage area, we have defined two sections: fast and slow moving. Be sure that there is an entry in the storage section search table for a blank storage section indicator.
The ”Storage Section Search” table above specifies that if material is received into storage type 002 with no storage section indicator, it will be directed first to storage section 001, then storage section 002. Materials with a storage section indicator of 001 will also be directed first into section 001, then 002. Materials with a storage section indicator of 002 will be directed first into section 002, then 001.
Storage Unit Type definition: In the storage types for shelf storage and pallet storage, you indicated that the SUT Check was active. This means that the system will check the bin type against the storage unit type before allowing a putaway into a stoage bin. You will be working with pallet sizes E1 (Europallets) and IP (Industrial pallets). A Europallet will fit in either an E1 or P1 bin. The Industrial pallet will only fit in the P1 size bin.
Under Definitions, you first verify that the bin types E1 and P1 and storage unit types E1 and IP exist. Under Assignments, specify that the storage unit types are allowed in the storage types for shelf and pallet storage.

Because you are creating the new warehouse to off load inventory from your existing warehouse, you will be moving material from the old warehouse into the new one using movement type 311, Storage location to storage location. Transfer the following quantities of materials from storage location 01## to storage location 02##:
Material Total Industrial Pallets (IP)
Europallets (E1)
T-MS-## 65 3 pallets of 15 2 pallets of 10
T-BW-## 50 2 pallets of 15 2 pallets of 10
Goods Issue ( Note: contact instructor if you are not familiar with the SD process)
Create a sales order for 5 pieces of T-BW20-##. Before saving the order, add storage location 02## to the line item‘s shipping detail.
Create a Delivery Note with reference to the Sales Order you created.
Create a Transfer Order with reference to the delivery note. Was the quantity picked from your fixed bin picking area? If so, confirm the TO and post goods issue. (Note: remember that you can post the goods issue by putting a 2 in the Adopt pick qty field from the TO confirmation screen.)

20.5.10OPTIONAL: Additional set-up
Change the movement type 101 in the MM – WM movement type table to create transfer orders automatically. Be sure to work only in your warehouse! (You will need to copy the entry provided for warehouse *** to your own warehouse number.) In addition, have a mail message sent to your user-id if there are any errors.
Step 1: Copy the appropriate 101 entry in the MM-WM movement type table and set the field IM WM to A.
Step 2: Look at the Mail column and select the appropriate entry. (To verify that customizing, look under Activities Transfers Setup automatic TO creation for TRs and posting change notices.)
Step 3: Test your configuration. Create a Purchase order for 50 pieces of T-BW20-## using the following data:
Vendor 1000
Purchasing Org. 1000
Purchasing Group 001
Plant 1000
Stor. Location 02##
Step 4: Receive 10 pieces into your warehouse. Your TO should be created automatically and you will need to confirm it.
Step 5: Create a pre-allocated stock entry for 10 pieces of the material.
Step 6: Receive the remaining 40 pieces into your warehouse. (Your TO will not be created automatically and you will get an express message in your inbox describing the error).
Set-up a special movement indicator, so that a goods receipt (101) for material T-BW-## will be placed directly in Fixed bin storage (005). Change the MM-WM table so that a TR and a TO are not created for movement type 101. Again, please be sure to affect only your warehouse!
Step 1: Create a special movement indicator in customizing (master data).
Step 2: Create a new WM movement type. (Copy 101. Change the source storage type to 005 and Fixed Bin.)
Step 3: Copy the appropriate 101 entry in the MM-WM table. Enter your warehouse number, the new special movement indicator, reference the new WM movement type you created to the 101 Reference movement type and remove the TR create flag.
(C) SAP AG LO530 20
Step 4: You can tie the special movement indicator to the material master record for T-BW-##, or you can enter the special movement indicator at the time of the goods receipt by clicking on WM parameters.
Step 5: Test. Create a Purchase Order for 10 pieces of T-BW20-##. Receive the goods. Check the WM parameters.
