in this article I will explain how to configure a batch search
strategy in WM.
During picking exercise many a times we need to pick batches with specific
criteria depending on business or customer requirements. If it is a standard
requirement of shelf life expiration date to be arranged in ascending order ,it
can be still achieved using strategy 'H' shelf life expiration date.

Setting up Batch search in WM is covered in this

Training course

SAP WM

However a batch search strategy allows us a better control of the criteria on

which a batch is to be selected like warehouse number, movement type etc.
If required a suitable exit can also be used to check the customer for which
the delivery is being picked and a strategy applied. The search strategy is
triggered during creation of Transfer order.

Below are the steps to configure a batch search strategy in

WM:

step 1
SPRO- Logistics general-Batch Managment-Batch Determination and batch
check.
Select condition table.

step 2: Condition table

We want to set up batch search strategy on warehouse name and movement
type.
We will use already existing standard condition table 11.

However ff you want to maintain new condition table u can use number from
501 to 999.
Here I am showing how to create a table say 902 just as an example. Select
the fields from the field catalogue and then generate the table.
Just
eg:

step 3: Maintain access sequence

Access seq WM02 already exists.Or make new access seq with the the
sequence in which the tables u want the strategy to access .Here we have
only one table 11.
If a new access seq. needs to be generated then it should be with character
Z.

Step 4: Define strategy type

Using standard strategy type WM02

Assign the classification details

Step 4:

Define SORT rule. SORT rule is required to sort the selected batches in
ascending or descending order. .

I created new sort rule SHELF _LIFE_EXPI and added characteristic

LOBM_LFDAT .The characteristic field must be known before defining .

Step 6 : Define search procedure

I copied WM0001 to create my own new seach procedure ZWM00S

In control data put condition type WM02

Step 7: Assign WM search procedure

You can assign procedure to either a warehouse or warehouse/movement

type combination.

Once this is done the configuration for Batch search strategy is complete.

Now you can create a condition record for your warehouse and movement
type combination.
Tcode LS51

Selection criteria has to be maintined in condition record.

I am maintaining remaining shelf life as < 10 for sorting batches .
