If you are using Storage Unit Management, you must take the following objects into account:
1
Actions
1. Decide which number ranges you require for assigning the document numbers in the Warehouse Management system.
2. Create the number range intervals.
The following action is only required if you are using Storage Unit Management:
3. Create the number range LE for assigning the storage unit numbers and the respective assignment type (column VA). Via
the assignment type, you can define per warehouse number whether, for example, external or internal storage unit numbers
are to be managed.
4. Conversion of the storage unit number in Warehouse Management, you can determine per client (!) how the storage unit
number is to be converted. For information on the different input options, refer to the field documentation.
Define
Storage Type
A warehouse number is divided up into a number of storage types. A storage type is defined on the basis of its spatial or
organizational features (for example, high rack storage area, bulk storage area, and goods receipt area).
A storage type has the following features:
3
4
5
Recommendation
These interim storage types (900-999) are required for various postings (for example, GR and GI postings, and differences)
in WM. When you define your warehouse numbers, copy the interim storage types from warehouse number 001.
Activities
1. Create your storage types with the respective descriptions.
2. Copy the interim storage types from warehouse number 001.
Important Note:
The placement strategy for ATC, AEC and ECO is decided as Addition to existing stock. So while creating the storage type,
the Put away strategy should be I Addition to existing stock.
The removal strategy for all the materials without Shelf life expiration date check (SLED) will be FIFI (Picking strategy
F) and for the materials with SLED check will be H Shelf life expiration date.
There will be two distinguished strategies one for materials without SLED check (Put away strategy I and Picking
strategy F) and one for material with SLED check (Put away strategy I and Picking strategy H).
Define Storage Sections
Within a storage type, a storage section is a series of storage bins with the same features. These bins are used for the purpose
of stock placements.
For stock placements, the following features of storage bins can be important:
6
7
8
Standard settings
In the SAP standard system, sample entries are preset for the respective storage types in warehouse number 001.
Note
9 When you create a storage bin, you must enter a storage section.
10 If you are using storage types without sections, you must define at least one storage section (for example, 001) per
storage type. The storage section in this case is identical to the storage type.
Activities
Create your storage areas with the corresponding names.
Important Note:
There will be only one storage section for all ATC, AEC and ECO.
Define
Storage Bins
Storage Bins
In the menu option "Storage bins", you define the configuration for the storage bins in the Warehouse Management system.
Before you create the storage bins (master data) you should work through this section as well as the section "Define field
usage - Storage bin data".
Define Storage Bin Types
You can divide your storage bins into groups (for example, large storage bins, small storage bins, and so on). A suitable
storage bin is proposed by the system during stock placement in combination with thestorage unit type.
Actions
1. Decide whether you want to use the "Storage bin type search".
2. Create your bin types with the corresponding names.
Important Note:
Create
only
one
Storage bin type for ATC, AEC and ECO.Define Blocking Reasons
In the Warehouse Management system, you can block the following units for stock placements and stock removals:
11
12
13
14
Storage types
Storage bins
Quants
Storage unit
You can enter the reason for the block (for example, assembly work) using the indicator "Blocking Reason".
Actions
Create your blocking indicators with the respective descriptions.
Define Storage
Bin Structure
In the Warehouse Management system, you can create a sequence of similar storage bins automatically.
Example for setting up similar storage bins
Define the parameters required for creating storage bins in the table "Storage Bin Structures".
In this table, you must also define which warehouse master data (for example, storage section, fire-containment section, and
so on) you want to create when you generate the structures.
Actions
1. Create your storage bin structures in the detail screen.
2. From the menu bar (detail screen), select: "Environment --> Create bins" to generate your storage bins.
Note
This
function
can also
be
found in
the
application menu (menu option "Master data").
Material
In this menu option you configure the material master records that are relevant for the Warehouse Management system.
Before you create the material masters, you should work through this section and the section "Define field usage - Material
master".
Define Storage Type Indicators
With this indicator you can control whether certain materials are placed into or removed from stock in certain storage types
with a higher priority. This leads to a classification of your materials and allows you to use the stock placement or stock
removal strategies in an optimum way.
Default settings
In the SAP standard system, examples are preset for warehouse numbers 001 and 002.
Actions
1. Classify your materials according to certain criteria (for example, small parts, and materials for block storage).
2. Create your storage type indicators with the respective descriptions.
Further information
You will find more information on this subject area in chapter "Strategies - Storage type search"
Important Note:
Define 2 storage section indicators one for the materials with SLED check and one for the materials without SLED check.
In Storage type search you have to define the priority according to materials without SLED check and materials with SLED
check.

------------------------------- 1
Define Storage Unit Types
With the indicator for the storage unit type, it is possible to distinguish pallets or other containers on which a material is
stored or transported.
The classification of your storage units allows you to use the stock placement strategies in an optimal way.
The storage unit type is taken into account during stock placements if you have activated the "storage bin type search".
Default settings
In the SAP standard system, examples are preset for warehouse numbers 001 and 002.
ACTIONS
1. Decide whether you want to use the storage bin type search.
2. Classify your storage units (for example, Europallets, wire boxes) according to certain criteria (for example, certain
packing height for Europallets).
3. Create your storage unit types with the respective descriptions/names.
In the SAP standard system, examples are preset for warehouse numbers 001 and 002.
Actions
1. Decide whether you want to use "storage section search".
2. Classify your materials according to certain criteria (for example, fast-moving items, bulky materials, extremely
heavy materials, and so on).
3. Create your storage section indicators with the corresponding description.
Strategies
In the Warehouse Management system (LE-WM) you support strategies in order to receive proposals from the SAP System
15 Regarding which storage bins the goods are to be put away
16 From which storage bins goods are to be picked.
There are two basic strategies in the system:
17 putaway strategies
18 picking strategies
With the help of these strategies, the SAP system can use the available transfer and warehouse capacity optimally.
For each storage type, you must define a putaway and a picking strategy.
Recommendation
To be able to take a closer look at the processes involved in the storage bin search (that is, processes that involve interaction
between the materials master data and the data from the system configuration menu in Warehouse Management), you can
use the function "Log Bin Search".
You can call up this function from the preparation screens for stock placements and stock removals and from the single item
screen for creating transfer orders (menu option "Environment").
This bin search log supports, on the one hand, the work of the project team in the implementation phase and, on the other
hand, the analysis of customizing errors during productive operation.
Activate Storage Type Search
For putaway or pick operations, the Warehouse Management System (WMS) must know:
19 into which storage types materials can be placed
20 from which storage types materials can be removed
In the WMS, a storage type is determined as follows:
1. In the case of a put away, you generally know where the material for the put away is coming from. In the case of a pick,
you generally know to where the material to be removed is to be transferred.
Information on the location from where the material is to be picked is either stored in the transfer requirement or determined
by the system using the WM movement type.
2. The system must then know into which storage type the material should be placed, or from which storage type the
material should be removed. The table "Storage type search", which you are setting here, provides this information. In this
table, you store the preferred sequence of storage types to be searched for the material for putaways or picks.
If you have activated the storage unit check, this check also influences the storage type search. In this case, the storage unit
type from the transfer order is also checked against the allowed storage units per storage type. The system finds this
information via the table "Allowed storage unit types / storage type", which you are also setting here. For further
information on this subject, refer to the chapter Storage type search.
3. Furthermore, you can influence the storage type search using other indicators:
process indicator (for example, stock placement or removal)
storage type indicator from the material master
stock category indicator
special stock indicator
storage class
water pollution class (WPC)

Activate Storage Section Search
In the Warehouse Management System (WMS), a storage section is found in the following manner:
1. If the WMS is to search for a suitable storage section, it first searches for a suitable storage type. The storage type is
determined during the storage type search.
2. If the system has found a suitable storage type, it then determines the corresponding putaway strategy. It finds this
Activate
Storage
Bin
Type
Search
The
Warehouse Management System (WMS) can manage different sizes of storage bins within astorage type. The storage bins
are determined during the storage bin search:
1. It is generally known which loading equipment (storage unit type) is required to place the materialinto stock. This
information is either
Entered manually OR
Can be found in the material master.
In this case, the SAP System suggests the relevant storage unit type for the putaway as a default.
2. Then the WMS checks if the storage unit which is to be placed into stock may be put away in the storage typed
determined by the storage type search.
The table "Allowed storage unit types per storage type" contains details on which storage unit types (SUTs) may be used in
which storage types.
This table defines which storage unit type may be used within each storage type. Up to 10 storage units may be assigned per
storage type.
If more than 10 storage units are required per storage type, it is possible to activate the weak SUT check.
To do this, enter *** in this table as the allowed SUT. This has the effect that, in theory, all SUTs are allowed for this storage
type. The system then searches for a bin that matches the storage unit type according to the allowed storage bin type per
SUT.
3. Then the system searches for a suitable storage bin using the putaway strategy.
o
For this purpose you have assigned a storage bin type to each storage bin in the master data.
o Via the table "Storage bin type search" the WMS finds information on which SUTs match which storage bin types.
The search for a subsequent storage bin type is restricted to the permitted storage bin types which are run through
sequentially according to the sequence of entries in this table.
4. If you manually enter the storage bin during putaway, the WMS checks if the SUT may be used on the relevant storage
bin.
Requirements
The storage unit type check parameters must be activated. This check is independent of a particular strategy. You can use it
for all putaway strategies.
Recommendation
If you wish to implement the above weak SUT-check, check your table options exactly as performance problems may arise
if the customizing option is not properly set.
The following example should illustrate these problems and their solution:
Storage bin types P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 are allowed for storage unit type E1. E1 is to be placed in stock in storage type 001.
Here there are only storage bins of type P0.
Normally E1 would not be included in the storage unit types allowed for storage type 001. The WMS recognizes this
and searches for a bin in the next storage type.
A weak SUT check is when the database is accessed 5 times unsuccessfully. This number increases depending on how
many different storage sections you work with at one time.
You can check the Customizing options via the storage bin determination log (transport order management). Multiple access
to the database does not greatly impair performance. The number of times the database is accessed in this way can be
decreased using an optimized storage type search.
Activities
Set the parameters for bin type search in the following sequence:
1. Bin types
Divide your storage bins into groups (for example, large bins, small bins).
2. Check your warehouse master data and, if necessary, fill in any missing storage bin types.
3. Storage unit types
Classify your storage units (for example, by palette type).
4. Check your material masters and add palletization data, if this has not already been done.
5. Allocation of storage unit types / storage type
For each storage type, define which storage unit types may be placed into stock in this storage type.
6. Allocation of storage unit types / storage bin types
For each storage bin type, define which storage unit type may be put away.
7. Activate the storage unit type control function in the putaway control parameters for the desired storage bin.

Putaway Strategies
The stock placement strategy is a procedure in the Warehouse Management system whereby the system searches for a
suitable storage bin within a storage type or a warehouse number using a particular strategy.
The Warehouse Management system supports the following strategies:
v Fixed storage bin
v Open storage
v Addition to existing stock
v Empty storage bin
v Pallets (storage units)
v Bulk storage
v Near to picking fixed bin
v No strategy (manual bin location assignment)
Define Strategy for Fixed Bins
The "fixed bin" stock placement strategy is used for storage types in which a material is assigned to a particular storage bin.
This strategy is used mainly in storage types where picking is carried out manually (for example, in small parts storage areas
with manual picking).
Default Settings
In the SAP standard system, warehouse number 001 and storage type 005 are preset for the strategy "Fixed bin".
Actions
1. Decide whether or not you want to use this stock placement strategy.
2. If you have already created material masters, maintain the storage type data of the material masters that is required for
fixed bin management.
3. Enter the indicators for the stock placement strategy "Fixed bin" in the detail screen.
Define
Strategy
for
Addition to Existing Stock
Using this stock placement strategy, the SAP System tries to place a quantity of material into a storage bin in which the
material already exists. To add to existing stock, there must be sufficient remaining capacity in the storage bin. So you
must switch on the capacity check for the relevant storage type to implement the strategy addition to existing stock.
If the system does not find a storage bin with enough remaining capacity in this storage type, it will call up the strategy
"Empty storage bin".
Activities
1. Decide if you want to use this putaway strategy.
2. Decide which type of capacity check you want to use.
You can find out which capacity check types are currently supported via the possible entries field capacity check.
1. Enter the indicator for the putaway strategy "addition to existing stock" in the detail screen.
2. Activate the capacity check.
Stock
Removal Strategies
A picking strategy in the Warehouse Management System refers to a procedure whereby the system searches during a pick
for a suitable quant within a storage type or a warehouse number.
The Warehouse Management system supports the following picking strategies:
21
22
23
24
25
Expiration Date
With this stock removal strategy, you can influence the search of the materials under consideration of the shelf life.
Material managed according to shelf life expiration date is found as follows in the Warehouse Management System
1. You must have activated the shelf life expiration date management in the respective warehouse number.
2. For each storage type , the shelf life expiration date (SLED) strategy must be activated, providing you do not work use the
stock removal strategy "Strict FIFO principle".
3. The minimum remaining shelf life must be maintained in the material master record (storage view).
Materials for which this remaining life is not maintained are searched for with stock removal strategy "FIFO".
Activities
1. You have to decide whether you want to use this stock removal strategy.
2. Activate the shelf life expiration date management for each warehouse number.
The shelf life expiration date management must be activated at warehouse number level. In the application, this activation
causes that the shelf life expiration date is a required entry during stock placements, depending on the material and
movement type. In some analyses, the shelf life expiration date of materials managed according to shelf life expiration date
is displayed instead of the GR date.
Activate the shelf life expiration date management.
3. Activate the stock removal strategy
Activate the stock removal strategy expiration date in the stock removal control for the relevant storage type.
Further notes
If you are using the stock removal strategy "Strict FIFO principle", please refer to the section "Define Strict FIFO Principle"
strategy for more information on the "Shelf Life Expiration Date".

In the Warehouse Management system, there are two types of transfers (movements):
32 Movements that are also important for Materials Management
(for example, stock placements and stock removals)
33 Movements that only concern the warehouse
(stock transfers within a warehouse, for example).
The transfer type is a suitable tool for reports (for example, all stock placements into a storage type, all stock removals from
a storage type, and so on).
Note
The transfer type is not used in system control functions.
Standard Delivery
In the SAP standard delivery, all the relevant transfer types are preset.
SAP Recommendation
SAP recommends keeping the transfer types delivered with the standard system. You can add to these transfer types as
required.
Actions
Define the transfer types for each warehouse number.
Define Movement

movements (for
example, goods

order or goods issue
to a cost center) using
movement types. If
the SAP system
determines that a
movement is relevant
for Warehouse
Management, it
assigns a WM
movement type to this
movement via a table.
The movement type
for the Warehouse Management system provides the information required for stock placements and stock removals:
v Interim storage type
v Coordinate of the interim storage bin
predefined coordinate
dynamic coordinate
fixed bin coordinate
v Control indicator for processing, confirming and printing transfer orders
v Indicator for storage type search.
For information on the links between the IM and the WM movement types and how to change them, see the section
Movement Types for Interim Storage Bins.
Standard settings
In the SAP standard system, all the relevant movement types are preset.
Recommendation
SAP recommends keeping the movement types delivered with the standard system.
Activities
1. Before you create movement types for a new warehouse number:
start with the configuration for the printer control
delete the print codes
then maintain the print codes when you configure the printer control
2. Create the movement types for each warehouse number using the copy function.
3. Define your own company-individual settings (for example, for the interim storage types) in the detail screen.
Posting changes and stock transfers always take place within a warehouse number.
Standard settings
For stock transfers and posting changes, the movement types in the series "3nn" are at your disposal.
For internal warehouse replenishment, use the WM movement type "319". You can use this movement type as a copy
sample for creating your own movement type.
Activities
1. Check all the movement types for posting changes, stock transfers, and replenishment.
2. Make your own company-required adjustments in the detail screen. For replenishment movement types, you do not
require the definition of the requirement type.
3. If you want to use the functionality "Replenishment for fixed bin warehouse" (using the report RLLNACH1), you must
define the storage types for which replenishment is to be used.
Assign the appropriate replenishment type to the respective storage types.

Confirmation
In this section, you configure the system settings for handling differences and for confirming transfer orders.
Handling Differences
The system posts differences that you find in the warehouse into a specific difference storage type(for example, 999)
whenever you
34 Confirm a transfer order with differences.
35 Perform a manual stock transfer to the difference storage type (for example, 999).
36 Perform automatic stock transfer to the difference storage type (for example, 999) after aninventory with quantity
differences.
In the WM system, you can classify differences according to cause (for example, breakage, theft).
Using the difference indicator, you determine the storage type and the storage bin to which the differences are posted.
For each difference indicator, you can save the percentage value for the deviation allowed, that is, starting from which the
dialog box is to appear. Suppressing the dialog box is appropriate for stock picks that cannot be done to the exact amount
and where the difference is cleared against the stock in the source bin.
Example
A warehouse worker guesses a 3 kilogram pick for a particular material and determines the actual weight further away from
the bin. In this case, each pick is confirmed with a difference. It would be appropriate to have the dialog box suppressed so
as to save this extra step.
Confirmation Control
One important aspect of confirmation of transfer orders is the setting of the confirmation requirement. This requirement
means additional work for the user, but it also affords a high level of stock and information security.
The decision as to whether a transfer order item requires confirmation and whether it is confirmed immediately depends on
the parameters you set for your movement types and your storage types.
37 At the warehouse number level you define:
whether there is to be separate confirmation of pick and transfer
38 At the storage type level you define:
1
2
3
4
Confirmation Requirement
As soon as one of the above parameters calls for a confirmation requirement for a transfer order item, the item must be
confirmed.
Immediate confirmation of a transfer order item only works out if
Define
Print
Control
In this section, you set the configuration data for print control.
Using the print control function, for example, you can define
47 Which documents (that is, for transfer orders) are to be printed for goods movements.
48 How these documents are to be printed (that is, which forms are to be used, how many copies are to be printed).
49 On which printer a document is to be printed automatically.
Using the print control functions, you have flexible control of the printing activities in your warehouse. This flexibility,
however, means that setting the parameters is a complex task. For this reason, we recommend that you take a look at the
entire print control functions first, and then analyze the "print situation" in your warehouse.
The number and type of settings you need for your print control depends on whether you are using the Storage Unit
Management component. If you are not using this component, you only need to set the "standard" print control functions.
However, if you are using Storage Unit Management, you need to set both the "standard" print control functions as well as
the functions for storage units.
In this section, we describe the "standard" print control functions. These control the printing of transfer order slips.
The print control for printing specific slips for storage units is described in the chapter Define print control for warehouses
with Storage Unit Management.
You need the following settings for the "standard" print control function:
50 Spool Indicator
Slips are always printed within the SAP system using the Spool function. For each printout, certain data needs to be
passed on to the Spool file. Typical examples of such data are:
In the following settings (for example, the settings for the print code), you do not need to specify these parameters
each time. You only enter the spool indicator as a type of abbreviation.
51 Printer Pool / Labels
In the printer pool for labels, you can define a dependent label printer for each printer. In this way, for example,
labels can be printed in parallel on special paper while transfer order documents are being printed.
52 Sort Profile / Multiple Processing
The sort profile sets the sequence of the transfer order items for printing. As of Release 4.1A, this only applies to
printing in multiple processing, since during "standard" TO processing the sorting is set already when the TO is
created. Furthermore, you can decide during multiple processing printing whether there should be a control break,
that is, whether printing should continue on a new page if the field content changes.
53 Print code
The print code defines the following information for printing transfer orders:
Form that is used for printing
Sort sequence (via sort pool) in which the individual items of a transfer order are to be printed. The sort pool is now
called up through the multiple processing run.
Spool indicator (see above)
Reading shipping data. With this function you can have additional information for picking orders called up, for
example, the address of the ship-to party or serial numbers already assigned to the delivery items.
Reading production data. Here reservations for staging materials for production are read. (Both switches for reading
data should be inactivated for time-critical printing.)
Label form, label spool indicator, and the definition as to how the number of labels is to be determined for each TO
item.
The following text explains how you can assign a print code to each movement type in the Warehouse Management
system. A transfer order is always assigned to a movement type. In this way, the print code determines the general
print parameters for the transfer order.
54 Assignment of Print Code / Movement Type
You can define different printers and spool codes for various goods movements (source storage type - destination
storage type). Also, you can suppress the printing of transfer orders, if required.
There are also parameters (print code, form) that you can define both in the configuration "Printer-Movement" as
well as in the print code settings.
During the automatic determination of the print parameters, the system proceeds as follows: If an item of a transfer
order is to be printed automatically, the system determines the general print parameters through the print code
assigned to the movement type. Afterwards, it checks the movement-specific print parameters. If one of these
parameters (for example, for the form) is also defined in the print code, the system will use the movement-specific
parameter.
It is possible to override the definitions for label printing in the print code, depending on the warehouse movement.
You can also store an additional form for a combined picking list with the spool code and the printer in order to
print a combined document in parallel to single printing for each TO item. This is only possible as an
accompaniment to non-combined-printouts (indicator for combined printing in the print code) and is otherwise
ignored.
55 Assignment Printer - Picking Area
It can be useful to select a printer near the picking area for printing picking orders.
Again you are faced with the question: How does the system proceed with automatic printer determination, since it
is possible to define a standard printer both in the configuration for "Printer-Movement" as well as in the
configurations "Printer - Storage Type", "Printer - Picking Area", and in the user master of each user?
First the system checks whether a printer is set in the configuration "Printer-Movement". If so, the printer
determination is complete at this point.
If not, the system uses the parameter "PriSrcTyp" defined in the configuration "Printer-Movement" to decide how it
will proceed.
If the parameter is set here, the system checks if a printer is defined in the setting "Printer Picking Area" and then
proposes this printer.
If the system finds no printer, it searches in the setting "Printer - Storage Type" and uses this, if a printer is set.
If the system cannot find a printer using the methods described above, it selects the printer defined in the user
master of the user currently logged on.
If no printer is defined here, the system automatically proposes LP01. This writes the data to the spool file.
56 Assignment Printer - Storage Type
Here you can store one printer per storage type, in accordance with the printer determination logic described above.
57 Assignment Print Code - Movement Type
A print code is assigned to each movement type. As described above, the general print information is determined by
this assignment.
58 Assignment Print Program - Warehouse Number
You must assign a print program to each warehouse number. The name of the standard program is RLVSDR40.
59 Print Control Multiple Processing
A print report is assigned to each warehouse number for printing a
combined transfer order. You can also configure the following:
the print code
the printer
the print time
60 The print layout is set using forms.
Standard settings
All relevant print control tables are defined in warehouse number 001.
The following print programs are available:
61 RLVSDR40 (general print program)
62 RLKOMM40 (multiple processing)
Recommendation
Only use your own print programs if your print requirements are not met by the user exits in the standard system. If you
wish to extend the functionality of the program RLVSDR40, use the user exitMWMD0001 to develop them. If you wish to
extend the functionality of the program RLKOMM40, use the user exit MWMD0002. For further information on
enhancements through the user exit, refer to the chapter Develop extensions.
Information on how to adapt forms in Warehouse Management is provided in the chapter Develop forms.
Further Recommendations
1. Before you begin with table maintenance, you should first look at all tables carefully and determine which ones you need.
2. Then maintain the tables in the prescribed sequence.
Physical Inventory
In this menu option, you configure the following system settings:

The Warehouse Management system (WM) supports the following inventory procedures:
Annual inventory(ST)
Counting the material quantity in the storage bins at a fixed inventory date.
Continuous inventory (PZ)
Counting a certain number of storage bins on any day in the fiscal year.
Continuous inventory based on stock placement
When a bin is occupied for the first time in the fiscal year, the system registers that inventory has been taken for
that bin. You can only use this inventory procedure under certain conditions and must always check with the

Recommendation
SAP recommends that you keep the preset movement types in order to avoid posting errors.
Activities
1. Posting/Clearing
Check the preset standard movement types and create -- if necessary -- special movement types for inventory differences for
your warehouse numbers.
2. Document items
If you make an entry in this field, you can restrict the system inventory records during their creation to a particular number
of items.
Clear

Number Ranges
In the menu option
"Number ranges" you
define number ranges for the inventory documents.
For each warehouse number you can create three number ranges:
for the system inventory records
Here the users create the documents themselves.
For transfer orders that initiate continuous inventory based on stock placement. In this case, the transfer order is the
inventory document.
for the quant-by-quant cycle counting physical inventory
SAP Recommendation
Once you have defined your number ranges, you cannot change them if the data in the number range intervals has already
been used.
Take the long-term data quantity into account. Define your number range intervals accordingly.
Actions
1. Define your number ranges.
2. Maintain your number ranges.
