Wm scenarios

SAP WMS Storage Unit Management

Hi All
I have a scenario in our warehouse where Materials are stored in pallets, pallets are
stored in racks( bins).
Currently we have only material number and bin number in our system.
We need to include pallets also.
So a material A will be placed on pallet B and pallet B will be placed on Storage bin
C.
Will storage Unit Management help me in this?
Since we have no master data for pallet, do we need to create master data?
Regards

Hello Kartik,
In EWM, there is no storage unit like WM; it is replaced with handling unit. So you
will need to use handling unit customizing.
Check for documentation:

Best regards.

SU can be used for tracking pallet , you can maintain WM pallet master data in WM2 views in material master and
check how it can be useful for your business.
Kindly revert incase of any querys
Thanks

LT07 can be used to creating storage units , you can choose internal or external number ranges for
these SU's

Hi Kartik,
I assume you want to ask this question in SAP Centralised WM forum and not in EWM forum.
To answer your question -

Yes you can achive what you want .You will have to activate SU management and maintain the relevant SU
management master data via config -the configuration summary for SU management is like this For SU management activation you need to have palletization data maintained in material master. This palletization
data is linked to storage unit type .You also need to maintain bin type data. The bin type is the different types of bins
available in the warehouse. The Bin type is assigned to requisite Storage unit type giving system
information about which Storage unit type can be stored in what bins. This is what you
want .
Further you want to have re usable Storage units i.e pallets. To achieve this use in the Storage unit management
config - LE - Warehouse management-Storage units-Define number ranges -here in storage unit number range use
assignment type 2 or as per your need.
Print labels as per your need and paste permanently on your pallets.
Now whenever you are creating a Transfer order in a storage type where SU management is active system will ask
for the storage unit .Here you can enter your own storage units from the pallet you are using. If you have selected
assignment type 2 system will try to assign new storage unit automatically from internal number range but you can
over write this by giving your own number (you can try this and check)
Hope this answers your question. Reward points if helpful.

Samir

You can go through this menu path for handling unit management related configuration .

IMG --> Logistics general --> Handling Unit management -->

here we can configure according to requirement in these areas

1. Basics:- packaging material type, packaging material group

2.Eternal identification :- Number ranges maintanence for HU

3.Automatic packing :- packing instructions

4. Output :- maintain output determination for HU's

and go through this link it will give you more details about HU management.

I hope it will help you

The following process chain provides an example of how Handling Unit Management can be set up for integrated
implementation in the relevant SAP components

Process Flow
Sales and Distribution

You receive a sales order for certain materials. If you have a special agreement with the customer as to the
packaging in which this material is to be delivered, you can reflect this agreement by using existing (or creating)
packing instructions and a corresponding packing-instruction determination record. You can use this agreement at
any point during packing. If the agreement is limited to this particular order, the information is created in the order in
the form of a packing proposal. This agreement is then also available during packing in repetitive manufacturing and
in the delivery.

An availability check is run for the order items. If the system determines that the sales order cannot be filled by
using the warehouse stock currently available, a requirement is created for production (in the case of in-house
production) or for purchasing (in the case of external procurement).
Production

A manufacturing order (such as a work order) is created for the respective material on the basis of the order
requirement.

The raw material required for production is reserved (if it is in stock).

Purchasing

If the raw material is not available in sufficient quantities, or if the material required for the sales order needs to
be acquired externally, purchase orders are created from the requirements generated for material procurement.
Goods receipt

The vendor notifies the goods recipient of the delivery of the goods by using a shipping notification that also
contains the packaging data. The shipping notification generates an inbound delivery that includes the packing
information from the shipping notification. If there is no EDI notification, the inbound delivery must be created and
packed manually for the purchase order. The handling units are put away and the inbound delivery is posted for
goods receipt.
Quality Management

If the packing data is known in the inbound/outbound delivery, an inspection lot is created for these handling
units and the stock is posted to quality inspection stock upon goods receipt/goods issue.

If the handling units have been put away in HU-managed storage locations, the handling units can be retransferred since the stock is still managed through the handling unit.
Warehouse Management

Handling units with raw materials are provided in time for production in accordance with the production
requirement.
Quality inspection

As soon as the quality inspection is complete, the stock in the handling units is posted to unrestricted-use stock
or to scrap materials, depending on the usage decision.
Inventory Management


If the production storage location is not HU-managed, the goods issue of the raw material takes place through
an explicit stock posting or through the verification from production.

If the production storage location is HU-managed, the goods issue takes place either after successful staging of
the materials or through explicit specification of the handling unit.
Production

The production process is executed and the raw materials are used.

The handling units that result from this step are planned.

As a last step, the material that was produced is packed, either in production or after production. The handling
units that are created in this way are confirmed as implemented. If there was no planning, the handling units are
created directly as implemented handling units.
Quality Management

If the status of the handling unit changes from planned to implemented (or changes during creation of
implemented handling units from production), an inspection lot is created for the handling units.
Inventory Management

The handling units are posted for goods receipt after verification from production (or in a separate step). Quality
Management decides whether the handling unit is to be posted to unrestricted-use stock, inspection stock, or qualityinspection blocked stock.
Shipping

An outbound delivery is created from the sales order

Warehouse Management

Transfer orders are created for the materials to be delivered and the handling units are picked from stock. If only
partial quantities of existing handling units are required, handling units are created for the picked materials.

The picked handling units are confirmed to the delivery.

Shipping

The handling units that were picked can be repacked in the delivery. If there is a packaging proposal in the
sales order, the delivery can be packed automatically in accordance with this proposal.

Goods issue is posted for the handling units.

The customer is informed through EDI about this delivery.
