General:-
• Warehouse: To define, copy, delete, check warehouse number use code EC09
(tables T300, T300T, T320)
o Number of warehouses assigned to a more than one storage location
within a plant.
o SAP with out WM function will go with only storage location. If SAP WM
has been activated then that storage location has to be linked with
warehouse and assign it to plant.
o Warehouse Control Parameters: IMG * Logistics Execution * Warehouse

• Decentralized warehouse management refers to the use of SAP as a stand alone
WMS system, with SAP (or another ERP system) as a separate core system. The
two system communicate by using BAPIs for transactions or IDoc for master
data. Goods movements are done through delivery notes from the core system to
the stand-alone WMS.

Receiving Process:-
GR/IB delivery process:-
• A GR into warehouse is triggered by one of two documents:
o A TR from IM or production.
o An IB delivery if HUM or external system is used.
• GR process has variations based on SUs (to improve the storage capacity
utilization and the material flow, batch management) & HUs (to map a complete
packaging-controlled logistics system) or both when mapping logistical processes
in SAP system:-
o GR without SUM and HUM
o GR with active SUM
o GR with HUM
o IB delivery with/without SUM

GR Process for Delivery with screen Transaction and Mobile Standard SAP Transactions
• GR without SUM & HUM
o In the standard SAP system, the mobile support is limited for this process.
We can use LM03 - Putaway by TO or LM04 - Putaway by system guided
to confirm TO.
o Optimization option: scheduled the automatic TO creation as a job using
report RLAUTA10 to optimize the procedure during TO creation without
RF support. Because single material pallets/containers are not always
delivered, in customizing we have set the TO split for each material. This
allows differing destination storage types to be taken into account. To
optimize the confirmation we have to activated and adjusted the barcode
output of the TO number in the TO form (LVSTAEINZEL) using
Transaction SE71 (SAPScript Form). You must print the TO in the GR
confirmation, to do this adjust the print management in customizing of the
WM system to your requirements.
• GR with Active SUM
o Standard SAP system only offers the option of confirming TOs that have
already been created. You can use mobile transaction LM03 and LM04.
You can also use LM02 - Putaway by SU.
o Optimization Options in the standard SAP system:
 Must develop at least one new mobile transaction for the palleting
and TO creation after the GR posting. For example, if you are
working with upstream I-point storage types, you must develop a
further new mobile transaction for creating the TO from the I-point
into the warehouse. During the form adjustment, we first copied
the form WESCHEINVERS3 (GR slip version 3) using code SE71
and set it to print barcode for material document number and item.
In customizing, we then set the message determination for the
message type WE03 (GR certificate version 3) with the new form.
 Developing the new mobile transaction: In order to pallet the
material into SUs using the printed material document and at the
same time be able to create TOs for these SUs, we have developed
a new mobile transaction, ZMAL1 in our example, whose function
is similar to code LT06 (Create TO for material document).
 In order to be able to post the SUs formed of the I-point storage
type into the warehouse while mobile, we have also developed a
new mobile code for this (ZMAL2 in the example) whose function
resembles screen transaction LT09 (ID Point function for storage
units). See on page 20 (Mobile).
• GR with active HUM
o With active HUM the IB delivery process, It including the packaging, is
performed. The GR via code MIGO thereby always only generates IB
deliveries.
• IB delivery with/without SUM
o We can divide the GR process into the following:
 Create the IB delivery for the PO.
  Create TO for IB delivery.
 Confirmation of TOs.
 GR posting for delivery.
o See page 24 (Mobile) for more details and optimization options.
• IB delivery with HUM:
o Create the IB delivery for PO:
 GR postings with code MIGO always only create one IB delivery.
 To create IB delivery manually use code VL31N Or automatically
via collective processing using report (RM06EANL). Or using EDI
messages.
 Packing in the HU:
 EDI: they can transfer their packing data and HU numbers in the
ASN.
 Or automatic packing when the IB delivery is created by the IDoc
(message type DESADV). There is no special function module
with which you can create the batch automatically when the
delivery is created.
 Or if no EDI from vendor, you can optimize the delivery creation
process by activating the automatic packing in the SD module
when the delivery is created based on the set packing instructions.
 Or last option to pack the delivery manually by using VL31N.
o Create the TO for Putaway:
 You can only create TOs through mobile transactions if the
delivery is fully packed. Fully packed deliveries have 2 variants for
the GR posting
• Placement in storage before GR posting: When TO is
created you can neither see nor change the palletization
quantity, the load carrier, or the destination storage type and
bin.
GR Transaction Code
By HU LM76
By Delivery LM71
By MS area LM72
By Shipment LM73
By All LM74
• Placement in storage after GR posting: Currently one
transaction code available in standard system.
GR Transaction Code
By Delivery LM71
o Confirm the TO:
 We use mobile Transaction code LM02
 WM picking status of a delivery for TOs that have already been
confirmed cannot be reset using code LT0G. While you can undo
the GR using code VL09, all you can do is delete the delivery.
 o Posting GR for Delivery:
 Placement in storage before GR posting:
• Creation of all TOs for deliveries must be completed when
the TOs are confirmed.
• When you create on confirm the TOs, you thus, in turn,
first create negative quant for the HU in GR zone 902
(interim storage type). You clear these -ve quant with the
GR posting. Only then is the material available.
• In order to automate GR postings for deliveries, schedule
the WS_MONITOR_INB_DEL_GDRC report as a job.
o Placement in storage after GR posting:
 The situation is different here, the material is in the freely available
stock immediately after the GR posting through screen transaction
VL32N. Unfortunately, there is no mobile transaction here that
allows you to create a single TO for the HU, and that offers
destination data for changing.
• Optimization options:
o This approach provides for the development of the missing mobile
transaction, which enables a single TO to be created for the HU.
o In standard SAP system, the delivery must always be fully packed if you
want to create mobile TOs. There is no mobile transaction in standard SAP
that allows you to manually pack a delivery in sub quantities in HUs, and
that then automatically creates a TO for the Putaway for the HU. We have
first copied the form RT_CHECK_LIST (Count list for delivery) using
code SE71 and set it in such a way that the material document and item
are also output as a barcode. In customizing, we then set the message
determination for the message type CHKL (Count list) with the new form.
For HU label, we also set the message determination E128 (EAN 128
label) for all of our packaging material types for immediate printing on the
user's printer. we also developed a new mobile transaction (here called
ZMAL3), so that sub quantities of a delivery item are manually packed
into HUs and TO is then automatically created for Putaway for the created
HU. The rough structure of the transaction is as follows:
 Delivery number and item is scanned on the first screen.
 The data that is determined is then proposed on the second screen.
The packing data can be overwritten here.
 When you save the data, the transaction packs the material into an
HU. The TO is created for Putaway with the created HU using the
(L_TO_CREATE_MOVE_SU) function module.
 The 3rd screen displays the most important data for the TO.
• IB delivery monitor:
o use code VL06I
o use code LT0F (Create TO for delivery) and press "Delivery Monitor
Inb.Deliveries".
 You can also see work flow under "Environment".
 • Display Material Document: use code MB03
• Review of stock levels/Display of stock levels after GR: use code MMBE.
• GR without IM: Normally materials are receipted into a storage location, and that
triggers a TR and TO in WM. However, there are materials in the warehouse that
sometimes do not require a GR in IM, but are required for warehouse operations.
Example: Packaging material, such as pallets and crates. These are used for
material storage and shipment, but don't have to be GR into IM.
o Create TO without source: use code LT01 with movement type 501.
Putaway Strategies:-
• Stock placement control indicators in storage type:-
Putaway strategy Description
Manual stock placement
B Bulk storage
C Open storage
F Fixed bins
I Addition to existing stock
K Near picking bin
L Next empty bin
P Storage unit type
• Destination bin change during confirm:- This indicator needs to be set in-order
to change bin while confirming TO.
• Mixed storage:- this can be set to allow different quants to be stored in a
storage bin in this storage type.
Mixed storage indicator Description
Mixed storage is not allowed
A SU with the same material
B Same material, different batches and
storage unit. Each storage unit can
contain more than one batch of the
same material.
C A number of batches in one storage bin,
only one material. However, it is not
possible different batches in a single
storage unit.
X Any mixed storage without restrictions.
• Capacity Check Method:-
Capacity Check Description
Method indicator
No check of capacity
1 Check of the maximum weight
2 Check based on palletization of SU type
3 Check of maximum qty per storage bin in a
storage type.
4 Capacity usage check based on material
5 Capacity usage check based on SUT
 6 Capacity usage check based on the sum of the
material and the SU.
• Assigned ID point storage type:- Any goods movements that do not have a
specific storage bin in this storage type as their destination are first directed to
the identification point. At this point the material is identified and a TO is
generated for the transfer of the material into the correct storage type.
• Fixed-Bin Storage:- data that has been entered into the material master record for
the material to be placed in stock. The material is stored in a single bin; i.e., a
fixed bin.
• Open Storage:- When materials are stored in areas of open floor, where there are
no racks or lines. Storage type is roughly divided into storage section, and the
protocol is that one storage section is represented by one storage bin.
o Note : Mixed storage and Addition to existing stock indicators are set.
• Next Empty Bin:- Note that other indicators are switched on for this strategy. The
most significant is the storage section check indicator. Because the strategy is to
find the next empty bin, further strategies can be used at the storage section and
storage bin. This gives the warehouse staff a better idea of where the next bin will
be located. This is not necessary, but is often used with the next empty bin
strategy.
o Display of empty bins use code LS04.
o Cross-Line Stock Putaway:- Using the next empty bin putaway strategy
can be problematic if the storage bins are selected only from one part or
one side of the warehouse. So we need a search criteria for cross-line stock
putaway strategy must be configured. Use code OMLM. Before we do this
we need to understand bin structure.
o Bin Structure: use code LS10.
• Bulk Storage (B):- here materials are stored in large quantities. Use code OMM4.
o Storage type used is 004. Note other indicators used: SUT check active.
and addition to stock.
• Near Picking Bin (K):- Storage type used is 035. T code used is OMLA. See more
configuration details on page 306 (SAP WM).

Transfer Requirement:- Is a phase of planning to move material from one warehouse

location to another.
• We need to created TR manually for many occasions like GI for cost center, when
issuing materials to a salesman for samples or for replenishments for material into
the fixed bins. Use code LB01.
• Create TR for replenishment of a fixed bin: use code LP21.
o Replenishment control for storage type: path IMG * Logistics Execution *
Warehouse Management * Activities * Define Stock Transfers and
Replenishment control.
• Display TRs : use code LB11 (list) or LB03 (single).
• Display TRs for storage type : use code LB10
o You can create TO on header go to environment and select option
accordingly.
 o Delete TRs : use code LB02 and double click item and set the deletion
flag. After saving the changes item will be deleted.
Transfer Order:- Is used to perform the move and confirm the move when it is
completed.
• A TO can be created with reference to a source document either from WM or
from another SAP module, such as MM.
• Each line item is a individual movement of a certain quantity of material from a
source bin to a destination storage bin. So, number of line items will depend on
how many destination storage bins are required for the total quantity of material.
• A source document can be a:
o TR
o Delivery document
o Material document
o Posting change notice (PCN). Example: Blocked sts to Unblocked sts.
• Create TO for a given TR: use code LT04
• Create TO without Reference: use code LT01
o Movement type (999) used to create TO should not have flag set to
"Manual TO creation not allowed".
• Display TO: use code LT21 (for known TO), or use code LT24 (for known
material).
• Cancel TO: use code LT15
• Confirm a TO:
o LT11 - Confirming a single item on a TO
o LT12 - Confirming the TO
 You can also enter the actual quantities here by selecting the input
list. All the differences are logically stored in storage type 999.
 If SU are used you can also pack option here.
o LT13 - Confirming by SU
o LT31 - Print a TO

Management * Activities * Transfers * Processing Performance Data/TO
split * Define Profiles
o OB delivery monitor: use code VL06P
o After selecting a delivery and starting the process of crating TO from the
delivery note, the OB delivery monitor transaction will pass the
parameters to code LT03 (Create TO for delivery).
• Confirm TO: use code LT12. Now the material is at interim storage type 916
which is a destination storage location for TO.
• Post GI for OB delivery: use code VL02N to change OB delivery and press button
post goods issue.
• Review material documents:
o use code MB51 (shows both IB and OB movements of material.
o Or use code MB03 to see single material document
GI without OB delivery:-
• GI starts in IM. This may be GI for cost center, a GI to a project or a number of
different scenarios.
• Enter GI by using code MB1A (Movement type 201).
• GI creates an -ve balance in the GI interim storage type 911 (area) in the relevant
warehouse. You can see Bin Stock per Material by using code LS24. The storage
bin has been named as the cost center where the material is to be consumed.
• Create TO from the material document produced from the GI by using code LT06.
Movement type 201 has been set to search storage type 001 & 002 in this
example.
 • Confirm TO by using LT12. You can verify the offset quantity in interim storage
area (type) 911 by using code LS24.
Multiple Processing using Groups:-
• Similar to the wave function. It allows user to group TR or OB deliveries and
process the group at once.
• A group is defined as a work package containing a number of TR or OB
deliveries. This work package is used to optimizing picking operations by
grouping same movement type or same storage type.
• Use T code LT41 to create a group for TRs. Enter shipment type filter 'A' - stock
removal, and you can also filter by requirement type. You can use "Assign group"
button and a group description screen will pop-up. Here you have choice of 2 step
picking.
• Use T code LT42 to create TO for the group we just created. Set reference doc cat
indicator.
Reference doc cat Description
B Group of TRs
L Group of Deliveries
• Definition of a wave pick: When groups are used with OB deliveries, we normally
refer to such groups as waves. We can create them by using wave monitor. The
advantage of wave pick is that it is possible to select the OB delivery according to
time slots.
o Creating a wave from OB delivery monitor: use code VL06P.
o After getting the selected deliveries take header bar menu option
"Subsequent Function * Group * Wave Pick". Wave number will be
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Wave Monitor:-
• Create Pick Waves using Wave Monitor: Use code VL37. This allows the
selection of waves for certain OB deliveries. This allows the use of time slot or a
time slot group.
o Time Slot: is defined as a period of time that can be configured in IMG.
Many cases, a time slot can be a one hour time period in a warehouse shift
or a whole shift. Menu path: IMG * Logistics Execution * Shipping *
Picking * Wave Picks * Maintain Time Slots.
 Each time slot has start and end times along with Picking wave
profiles.
o Picking Wave Profile: It allows you to set limits on certain criteria when
reacting to waves during wave picking. Menu path: IMG * Logistics
Execution * Shipping * Picking * Wave Picks * Maintain Wave Picks
Profile.
o Time Slot Group: a time slot group can contain all the time slots of a
particular shift or a particular working day. Menu path: IMG * Logistics
Execution * Shipping * Picking * Wave Picks * Maintain Time-slot Group
for Wave Pick.
 • Results of Pick Wave Monitor: After entering the selection criteria, execute the
transaction by using F8. The wave monitor displays all waves for the relevant
time slot that was entered for the specific warehouse.
• Create TOs by using header menu option "Subsequent Processing * Transfer
Order" or (shift + F4).
• Now system displays Create TO screen. Select "Start multiple proc" button or F5.
Once TOs created they need to be released and printed (use "Subsequent
Processing * Release/Print or (shift + F5)) for the material to be pulled.
• Once the materials are picked we need to confirm TO (use "Subsequent
Processing * Confirm" or (shift + F7)). We have a choice of confirming all or by
storage type or picking area etc,.
• All the TO from the selection used are displayed and ready for confirmation. use
header menu option "Transfer Order * Confirm in Foreground" or F5.
Picking (Stock removal) Process:-
• Picking Area: path IMG * Logistics Execution * Warehouse Management *
Master Data * Define Picking Area (tables TVST, TVSTT)
• A number of optional steps can be carried out with the material:
o Printing price stickers
o packing before material leaves warehouse.
• Most costly part of the warehouse operation and most labor intensive operation
usually employs the majority of the staff.
• Picking errors and therefore delivery errors, are a major source of customer
dissatisfaction.
• Picking Schemes:
o Single-Order Picking: Time and effort spent by the staff but most accurate.
This Scheme used in majority of warehouses.
o Batch Picking: Recommended for small size items with less weight.
Chance of error while sorting picked line items to orders at picking
station.
o Zone Picking: Picker is responsible for only picking at his zone.
Advantages of this method are that the picker's travel time is reduced
because of smaller area of his and familiarity of his zones on his every day
work. The disadvantage found with this is can cause bottlenecks if the
pickers work at different speeds; slower zone operators can minimize the
benefits of this method.
o Progressive Assembly: (Pick and Pass) Picked and passed to the next zone
by container on a conveyor belt or some other transport method.
o Downstream Sortation: Some what similar to Progressive assembly but is
used for wave picking.
Picking Strategies:-
• Method that determines the way a material is chosen to be picked.
• Storage type indicator:- Use code OMLY
 o Allows only certain materials to be picked from storage types, and the
order of picking can be defined by the storage type search for each storage
type indicator. Page 258 (WM)
o Max 30 storage type in one search record.
o Storage type indicator needs to be updated in material master record.
• Storage Section Search:- Use code OMLZ. This is used in complex warehouses.
Max 10 storage sections we can search (one record).
• FIFO (F):- Need to set this in storage type. Page 263 (SAP WM).
Stock Removal Strategies Description
No stock removal strategy
A Partial qty management
F FIFO
H Shelf life expiration date
L LIFO
M Large/small quantities included
P Fixed bin from material master
R Dynamic coordinate reference number
• LIFO (L):- is used by a number of companies for inventory cost accounting. The
value of warehouse stock impacts reported gross profit margins.
• Fixed Storage Bin:- Picking strategy relies on the data that has been entered into
the material master record for the material to be picked.
o If there is a overflow of material then it may be moved to other bin
locations manually.
• SLED (H)(Shelf-Life Expiration):- In many industries especially retail and
grocery, the shelf-life of materials is a very important characteristic. This can be
sale-focused shelf-life, where the material can only sit on a store shelf until its
sell-by date. Alternatively, it can be production focused, as when chemicals and
raw materials can be kept only for so long and still meet tolerance limits for us in
the production process. To configure use code OMKW.
o Display SLED stock:- use code LX27
• Partial Quantities (A):- This strategy is associated with SUM. This can be used in
warehouse if the warehouse manager does not want to pick all the contents of a
storage unit and then have to return some to the storage bin. Configuration is done
in storage type. (make sure "Return stock to same storage bin" flag set).
o The logic behind the this picking strategy is defined as follows:
 Initially TO qty = or > standard SU then a standard SU can be
picked from stock. However, if no standard SU are available, the
partial SU quantities in the warehouse are used.
 TO qty < standard SU then the system will initially proceed to
remove partial SU qty from the warehouse. If no partial then it will
break a full SU qty.
• Quantity Relevant Picking (M):- is used less frequently, but is useful for
companies whose warehouses store the same material in varying sizes of bins and
storage types. Configure use code OMM9. Page 282 (SAP WM)
 o Control qty in material master is used as threshold quantity to determine
small or large qty.
o Note:- System uses movement type 603 to determine which storage type is
to be used in TO for picking.
Replenishments:-
• Movements are initiated within the IM Ex: Plant to Plant or storage location to
storage location. If storage location is warehouse-managed, then this will trigger
the movement of material in the warehouse.
• The optimum amount of empty bin space in the warehouse depends on the
materials and industry involved but is usually somewhere between 10 % to 20 %.
• Checking empty bins: Display empty bins use code LS04 for specific warehouse
and storage type.
Internal Stock Transfers:-
• Moving material between storage bins: use code LT10. The warehouse number
and storage type must be filled, as must the movement type in the program control
section.
• A list shows the material that is available for stock transfer. A dialog box that is
displayed when the stock transfer in the foreground. Enter destination data for
stock transfer. After the required data is entered, the transaction uses the
information to crate TO.
• Use code LT21 to view TO or use LT24 if you don't know TO number.
• Confirm the Stock Transfer: use menu header option "Transfer Order * Confirm
in Foreground" or F8.
• Confirmation Indicator: for discrepancy
Confirmation Indicator Description
X Target quantity is equal to the actual quantity.
U Actual qty is the balance between the target
and difference qty.
S Difference qty is the difference between actual
and target qty.
Blanks Allows the actual and difference quantities to
be entered manually.
• Difference Indicator: use code OMLX.
Fixed Bin Replenishment:-
• Moving material between storage bins: use code LT10. The warehouse number
and storage type must be filled, as must the movement type in the program control
section.
• Basis of the replenishment process is defined in the material master record for the
items that need to be replenished. Use code MM02, if material has already been
created.
• Configuration for replenishment: To enter the WM movement type for
replenishment before TO can be created for replenishment of fixed bins. A
replenishment movement type needs to be assigned to the storage type. Menu
path: IMG * Logistics Execution * Warehouse Management * Activities *
Transfers * Define Stock Transfers and Replenishment Control.
 • Create TO by using code LP21, make sure requirement type is N, representing the
replenishment for fixed bins. The requirement number entered is usually PO or
sales order number. On menu bar select "Program * Execute".
• Display the TRs by using LB11 and select proper TR and press "TO in
Foreground".
• Confirm TO by using LT12. You can review stock by using LS24.
Posting Changes:- A posting change is a change to the stock level of a material.
• Mostly Posting changes happens for the following reasons:-
o Release from Quality Inspection stock: The change in status from quality
inspection to unrestricted occurs in IM module using goods movement. In
WM, a movement type is also used in conjunction with a posting change
notice. The PCN is created in WM automatically as a result of posting in
IM.
 Display posting change notice use code LB12. You need material
document number, year and warehouse number.
 use code LT06 to create TO.
 Display stock for given material use code LS24.
 Use code LT12 to confirm TO. SAP uses interim storage type 922
to move material logically.
 Review stock for a given material use code LS24, you should not
see Q for stock category.
o Posting change from material number to material number.
 Steps are similar to above step. Note: New material is placed in
next available empty bin in same storage type but not on same bin.
o Dividing batches among other batches.
 Steps are similar to above step. Note: New batch numbered
material is placed in next available empty bin in same storage type
but not on same bin.

Packing Process:-
• Packaging Material Type: use code VHAR

Shipping/Loading Process:-
• To define, copy, delete, check shipping point use code EC07 (tables TVST,
TVSTT)
• To assign a shipping point to a plant use code OVXC (table TVSWZ)
• To maintain a loading point use menu path in customizing: Enterprise Structure *
Definition * Logistics Execution * Maintain loading point (tables TVLA, TVLAT)
Cross Docking:-
• Cross docking matches inbound and outbound deliveries to avoid having to store
material in the warehouse.
o Manufacturing Cross Docking.
o Distributor Cross Docking.
o Transportation Cross Docking.
 o Retail Cross Docking.
 Staple stock - Materials it sells each day of the year.
 Direct freight - Material purchased once and sold by the stores and
not usually stocked again.
o Opportunistic Cross Docking - is the opposite of planned cross docking.
• Types of material suitable for cross docking:
o Perishable materials.
o High-quality items.
o That are pre-tagged, pre-ticketed, and ready for sale to the customer.
o Promotional materials.
o Staple retail materials with a constant demand or low demand variance.
o Pre-picked, pre-packaged customer orders.
• Planned Cross Docking in SAP:
o Planned cross docking - decision to be made before the material arrives at
the warehouse.
o Opportunistic cross docking - decision occur after the material has arrived.
• Configuration for Cross Docking: Menu path: IMG * Logistics Execution *
Warehouse Management * Cross Docking * General Settings * Maintain
Warehouse Level Settings..
• Configuration for Cross Docking Movement Types: Menu path: IMG * Logistics

Define Cross-Docking Relevancy for Movement Types.
• Cross Docking Movements:-
o One-Step Cross Docking: movement processes the cross docking directly
from the inbound goods-receiving area to the outbound goods issuing area.
In Planned cross docking, the IB delivery is linked to the OB delivery.
o Two-step cross docking: materials to be cross-docked are initially moved
from the GR area to a cross docking storage type. In the second step, the
material is moved to the GI area from the X-dock storage type when the
OB delivery is released.
• Cross Docking Monitor:- Use code LXDCK Or Menu path: SAP * Logistics *
Logistics Execution * Cross Docking * Cross Docking Monitor.
• Cross Docking Alert Monitor:- Use code LXDCA.

Transportation Process:-
• To maintain a loading point use menu path in customizing: Enterprise Structure *
Definition * Logistics Execution * Maintain transportation planning point (tables
TTDS, TTDST)

Storage Unit Management:-
Definition:- Was developed to enable warehouse management to identify the container that
holds a material as it moves around the warehouse.
• SUM was developed exclusively for WM, and from it SAP developed HUM for
MM. There are slight differences between the two, as seen here:
o HUM allows for the nesting of HUs; i.e., a HU containing a number of
other HUs, while SUM does not allow nesting of SUs.
 o HUM requires that an item be unpacked and packed, while this is not
required for SUM. The SU is used to contain a quantity of material for its
movement around the warehouse.
• Activate SUM:- Menu path: IMG * Logistics Execution * Warehouse
Management * Storage Units * Master Data * Activate Storage Unit
Management per Warehouse.
• Define SU number ranges:- Menu path: IMG * Logistics Execution * Warehouse
Management * Storage Units * Master Data * Define Number Ranges.
• Define Storage Type Control:- • Menu path: IMG * Logistics Execution *
Warehouse Management * Storage Units * Master Data * Define Storage Type
Control.
o You should consider several settings:
 SU mgmt active: This indicator is set to show that storage type is
SU managed.
 Putaway strategy: This is set to P, which means that the SU type
putaway has been selected.
 Mixed storage: Because different materials can be moved on the
same pallet as a defined SU, the mixed storage indicator must be
activated.
 Full stk rmvl reqmt: If this indicator, is set, it affects the SU, not
just the materials. A complete removal involves the complete SU.
• Define Storage Unit Type:- Menu path: IMG * Logistics Execution * Warehouse
Management * Master Data * Material * Define Storage Unit Types
• Storage Unit Record:- This can be created in response to a receipt from a PO or be
created later for movement within the warehouse. Use code LT07. Movement type
used to crate SU is 091 and movement type to move SUs is 561 (see page 357 in
SAP WM).
• Display a Storage unit:- Use code LS33.
• Planning SUs:- Planning storage units is the process of creating the TO, but not
confirming them. Creating the TO will create the SU, so that it will exist when the
material arrives at the receiving dock.
o Planning SUs by TO: Use code LT0A. System uses storage type 918, and
movement type used to create SUs is 091 with requirement type 'Y'.
o Receiving Planned SUs: Use code LT09. Movement type to move SUs is
999.
o Recording Differences in Planned SUs: While receiving code LT09 is
difference exists then quantity variance screen is displayed. Difference qty
is entered in this screen and confirmed.
Storage Unit Documentation:- Following four documents aid the SU process: Use code LT32
to print manually.
• TO Document: Movement of the SU or without SU of the material in the
warehouse.
• SU Content Document: Like content label.
• SU Document: Like LPN label.
 • SU - TO Document: SU and the movement of the SU in the warehouse.
Putaway with SUM:- Following three methods used to do SU putaway:
• SU - Single material: Use code LT01. Movement type 501.
• SU - Multiple material: Use code LT07. Movement type 501.
• SU - Add to Existing Stock: Use code LT08. Movement type 501.
Picking with SUM:- Following are methods used to do picking with SU:
• Complete Stock Pick: The entire storage unit can be picked for a GI even if the
requirement is for less than the quantity in the SU. We need to set configuration in
storage type. Menu path: IMG * Logistics Execution * Warehouse Management *
Master Data * Material * Define Storage Types. Make sure "Full stk rmvl reqmt
act" indicator is set.
• Partial Stock Pick: If full stock removal is not set in storage type configuration
then partial stock picking is possible.
• Complete stock Pick with Return to Same Bin: If "Return stock to same storage
bin" indicator is set in configuration of storage type.
• Partial Stock Removal Using a Pick Point: If indicator "Stor.type is pck pnt" is set
for storage type. Then by removing SU from a pick point, the SU information is
not lost, as it would be if the material was removed to an interim GI and then a
partial amount was returned to stock. When TO confirms a qty of material, system
posts the remaining qty from SU to pick point. The remaining material from SU
can be moved back to the org. storage bin or to a new storage bin. (Page 376 SAP
WM).
Hazardous Materials Management:- Are often found in warehouse.
• Classification of Hazardous Materials:-
o Flammable Liquid: Flash point below 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
o Combustible Liquid: Flash point between 100 and 200 F.
o Flammable Solid: Any substance through friction, absorption of moisture.
o Oxidizer: which readily yields oxygen like bleach.
o Corrosive: like common acids.
o Organic Peroxide: like benzoyl peroxide.
o Poison: toxic that it presents a risk to life or health.

RFID:-
• Simply stated RFID is a means of identifying an object using a radio frequency
transmission.
• Communication takes place between a reader or interrogator and a transponder or
tag.
• RFID in the supply chain is expected to generate huge volumes of data, which
will have to be filtered and routed to ERP systems. To solve this problem,
companies have developed special software packages called savants, which act as
buffers between the RFID front end and the ERP back end.
• EPC: Electronic Product Code is the emerging RFID standard developed by the
MIT AutoID center.
• Tag Classes:-
o Class 0 - Read Only: factory Programmed.
o Class 1 - Write once read only (WORM): Factory or User programmed.
o Class 2 - Read Write
o Class 3 - Read Write with Onboard sessions
o Class 4 - Read Write with Integrated Transmitters
• Active and Passive Tags:-
o Passive tags: Can be read at a distance of 4m to 5m.
o Semi-passive tags: Can be read at a distance of 100m.
o Active tags: Can be read at several kilometers.
• RFID and SAP:- Currently called SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure (SAP AII). This is a
part of SAP Business Suites similar to SAP SCM.
o OB processing (slap-and-ship)
o Flexible delivery processing
o Generation of pedigree notifications

• ASAP (AcceleratedSAP):- The roadmap is composed of five well-known

consecutive phases:-
1. Phase 1 - Project Preparation
a) Obtaining senior-level management/stakeholder support.
b) Identifying clear project objectives.
c) Architecting an efficient decision-making process.
d) Creating an environment suitable for change and re-engineering.
e) Building a qualified and capable project team.
2. Phase 2 - Business Blueprint : To extract pertinent information about your
company that is necessary for the implementation. These blueprints are in the
form of questionnaires that are designed to probe for information that
uncovers how your company does business. As such, they also serve to
document the implementation.
a) AcceleratedSAP Question and Answer Database: is a simple although
aging tool designed to facilitate the creation and maintenance of your
business blueprint.
b) Issues Database: Another tool used in the blueprinting phase to track
all the issues in the project.
3. Phase 3 - Realization: Functional experts are now ready to begin configuring
SAP. The realization phase is broken into two parts:
a) Your SAP consulting team helps you configure your baseline system,
called the Baseline Configuration.
b) Your implementation project team fine-tunes that system to meet all
your business and process requirements as part of the Fine Tuning
Configuration (around 20%).
 • Configuration Testing: With the help of your SAP consulting team, you
segregate your business processes into cycles of related business flows.
The cycles serve as independent units that enable you to test specific parts
of the business process. During this process, it becomes necessary to send
your project team to level 3 SAP training.
• Knowledge Transfer: As configuration phase comes to close, it becomes
necessary for the project team to be self-sufficient in their knowledge of
the configuration of your SAP system.
4. Phase 4 - Final Preparation: As phase 3 merges into phase 4, you should find
yourselves not only in the midst of SAP training, but also in the midst of
rigorous functional and stress testing.
a) Phase 4 also concentrates on the fine-tuning of your configuration
before Go-live and more importantly, the migration of data from your
old system or systems to SAP.
b) At the conclusion of phase 4, take time to plan and document a Go-live
strategy. Preparing for Go-live means preparing for your end users
questions as they start actively working on the new SAP system.
5. Phase 5 - Go-Live and Support: Preparation is the key.
a) What if scenarios related not only to the individual business process
deployed but also to the functioning of the technology underpinning
these business process.
• SAP Solution Manager (SolMan):- At the turn of century, in response to the need
to more rapidly and completely deploy R/3 and a host of growing solutions
offered by SAP AG, though, ASAP evolved into GlobalSAP and later ValueSAP.
In 2001, SAP AG released an improved delivery vehicle - SAP Solution Manager,
or SolMan - which is offering not only multiple roadmaps to implementation but
also improved content. Some of this contents included sample documents, new
templates, a repository for canned business process, and better project-
management tools.
• Built upon the groundwork created by ASAP.
• Robust project monitoring and reporting capabilities have been recently
augmented with Learning maps, which are role-specific internet-enabled
training tools featuring online tutoring and virtual classrooms.
•
IMG:-
• The SAP Reference IMG.
• The SAP Enterprise IMG.
• The SAP Project IMG.
• SAP Upgrade Customizing IMGs.

Variables defined by using tables statement are always global.
Events:-
Check & exit - Similar to Leave in RPG subroutine (Check is with
condition - when condition is false then it exits routine).
Stop - Similar to Return in rpg goes to end-of-selection.
- Do not use stop in initialization, at selection-screen output, top-of-
page and end-of-page.
Sub-routines:-
form. and endform.
similar to Begsr and endsr
perform is similar to ExecSr.
Variables declaried by using local statemant are visible from within the sub-
routine all the sub-routines called by it.
Include:-
To see all the source run program RSINCL00.

ISSUES:-
10.12 & 10.13 PROBLEMS ON VERYING
12.2
535 - Write to variation does not trigger top-of-page.

Question:-
1) How can I find SAP tree structure for a given transaction code?
2) While running program - is there anyway we can find out what program is
currently running and list a stack of programs and files which is similar to i-series
system command?
3) Is there any way I can search for a particular word in all the source code? (like
searching for a word in a given library in i-series).
4) Why is system placing converted material in to a new bin instead of putting it in
the same bin. That way we don't physically move inventory in the warehouse?
