Put away Strategies
 Fixed Bin (F)

 Next empty bin (L)

 Open Storage (C)

 Addition to existing bin (I)

 Pallets (P)

 Manual putaway according to user entry (Blank)

 User-defined putaway (user-exit)


Fixed Bin Strategy (F)
 This strategy is used when a material is to be stored in
a fixed bin in a storage type
 You can define the fixed bin for a material in the
material master record (the warehouse view 2)
Put away Strategies
 Fixed Bin (F)
 Next empty bin (L)

 Open Storage (C)

 Addition to existing bin (I)

 Pallets (P)

 Manual putaway according to user entry (Blank)

 User-defined putaway (user-exit)


Next Empty Bin Strategy (L)
 For this putaway strategy, the system proposes the next
empty bin
 Randomly organized warehouses are supported with
this strategy, whereby materials are stored in separate
storage sections.
 This strategy is especially suited for high rack storage
Put away Strategies
Fixed Bin (F)

 Next empty bin (L)


 Open Storage (C)

 Addition to existing bin (I)

 Pallets (P)

 Manual putaway according to user entry (Blank)

 User-defined putaway (user-exit)


Open Storage Strategy (C)
 Open storage is a type of warehouse organization in
which you define a single storage bin for a storage
section.
 The quants in the storage bin can also be in the form of
mixed storage.
Put away Strategies
 Fixed Bin (F)

 Next empty bin (L)

 Open Storage (C)


 Addition to existing bin (I)

 Pallets (P)

 Manual putaway according to user entry (Blank)

 User-defined putaway (user-exit)


Addition to existing bin Strategy (I)
 In this strategy, the system places goods in storage bins
that already contain the same material.
 A prerequisite for addition to existing stock is that
sufficient capacity still exists in the respective storage
bin.
 If the system cannot find a storage bin with the same
material, then the system switches to the "next empty
bin" strategy
Put away Strategies
 Fixed Bin (F)

 Next empty bin (L)

 Open Storage (C)


 Addition to existing bin (I)
 Pallets (P)

 Manual putaway according to user entry (Blank)

 User-defined putaway (user-exit)


Pallets Strategy (P)
 In this strategy, one storage bin is divided into several
smaller sections
 Using this strategy, system proposes different pallets
and allocates them to the appropriate section.
 Palletization quantity is defined in the Warehouse
management View 2 of material master
Put away Strategies
 Fixed Bin (F)

 Next empty bin (L)

 Open Storage (C)


 Addition to existing bin (I)
 Pallets (P)
 Manual putaway according to user entry (Blank)

 User-defined putaway (user-exit)


Manual put away according to user
entry (Blank)
 In this strategy, system does not use a strategy to
search for a storage bin.
 The user enters the destination storage bin when the
transfer order is created.
 This strategy is used if the search for a storage bin is
done on-site by the warehouse worker.
Put away Strategies
 Fixed Bin (F)

 Next empty bin (L)

 Open Storage (C)


 Addition to existing bin (I)
 Pallets (P)
 Manual putaway according to user entry (Blank)
 User-defined putaway (user-exit)
User-defined put away (user-exit)
 SAP allows the customization of put away of material
depends upon the business scenarios.
 Put away logic has to be programmed and SAP WM
will follow the programmed method for put away
process.

 Stringent FIFO (***)
 Last In First Out LIFO (L)
 Shelf life expired date (H)

 User-defined (user-exit)
FIFO Strategy (F)
 With this picking strategy the system proposes the

should be transferred.
 SAP WM system calculates the "age" (length of time in
storage) of a quant on the basis of the goods receipt
posting date from the Inventory Management (IM)
Picking Strategies

 Stringent FIFO (***)
 Last In First Out LIFO (L)
 Shelf life expired date (H)

 User-defined (user-exit)
Stringent FIFO (***)
 In this strategy, system proposes the oldest quant in

Picking Strategies
 First In First Out FIFO (F)
 Stringent FIFO (***)
 Last In First Out LIFO (L)
 Shelf life expired date (H)
 Fixed Bin (P)
 User-defined (user-exit)
Last In First Out LIFO (L)

to remove from stock, it always selects the last quant
that was placed into stock.
