3. Storage Type Determination in EWM

Requirement : Determine Storage Type for inbound deliveries

Step 1. Define Putaway Control Indicator
IMGEWM-Goods Receipt Process-Strategies-Storage Type Search-Define Put away Control Indicator

Use putaway control indicators to control that during putaway, specific products are put away into specific storage types/storage type groups with priority.

Step1.1.Assign Putaway Control indicator to Product Master
Tcodescwm/mat1

Assign Putaway Control to Product Master under Whse Data tab

Step 2.Define storage type search sequences for putaway
IMGEWM-Goods Receipt Process-Strategies-Storage Type Search-Define Storage Type Search Sequence for Putaway

The storage type search sequence in the putaway process specifies in which storage types the system searches for destination storage bins.

Step 3. Assign the required storage types to the storage type search sequences
IMGEWM-Goods Receipt Process-Strategies-Storage Type Search-Assign Storage Types to Storage Type Search Sequence

Enter the storage types in which the system should search for destination storage bins for the relevant storage type search sequence

Step 4.Assign a storage type search sequence to the putaway control indicator (Step1)

Step 5. Specify Storage Type Search Sequence for Putaway
IMGEWM-Goods Receipt Process-Strategies-Storage Type Search-Specify Storage Type Search Sequence for Putaway

The storage type search sequence defines the storage types in which the system searches for destination storage bins, and the sequence in which they are sorted or prioritized.

Step 6. Optimize Access Strategy for Storage Type Search: Putaway (Optional)

Various indicators influence the storage type search

Result : Destination Storage Type (0010) got determined when Warehouse Task is confirmed

Notes:

Material Master->Putway Control Indicator->Storage Search Sequence->Storage Type

Determination: WarehouseNo + Putaway Control+ Warehouse Process Type = Search Seq
