• Region Code: Region code is assigned to the warehouse for Hazardous Materials Management Functions. This code is assigned in the configuration for Hazardous Materials Management. • Weights/Units of Measure • Time Unit / Performance Data The unit of measure defined here in this field is used by the system for all time calculations for performance in the warehouse. For example, the planned TO Processing time is recorded in the TO in this Time Unit. • Other details: Method for Blocking Logic is defined as one of the control parameters here. This blocking logic will control the simultaneous operations in the warehouse. • Storage Unit Management is activated at Warehouse Level in the control parameters only. • Capacity Check Method: If the capacity check is switched on in a storage type, you can use this indicator to control whether a warning message, an error message, or no message at all is to be issued by the system whenever there is not enough weight available in the material master (capacity check for weight) or insufficient quantity (capacity check for quantity).

• Weight/Volume Unit: The weights/volume of all the materials managed in the warehouse is managed in the unit of weight/volume that is specified in Weight/volume Unit field while defining warehouse. All weights are managed in the warehouse in the unit of weight that is specified in the Weight Unit field in this section . In the case of movements, the material weight is converted to this unit of weight and updated in the storage bins. The capacity check by weight is also made in this unit. Here, the maximum accuracy is 1/1000 of this unit of weight. • Note: It is not advisable to change this unit of weight in a productive environment. In case it is unavoidable, data must be corrected by running report RLS10200 afterwards. • Default UoM: The system selects this unit of measure first for use in the warehouse if no default unit of measure was defined in the material master o Use: If no UoM is available in the material master, the system tries to assign one of the defaults from the warehouse number record. If these defaults have not been maintained, the system uses the base Unit of Measure o 1st Proposal UoM : The Unit of Measure defined in this field is taken as a default for a transaction of a material if system do not find any unit of measure from the material master record for that material. o 2nd Proposal UoM : The Unit of Measure defined in this field is taken as a default for a transaction of a material if system do not find any unit of measure from the material master record for that material. • Time unit/Performance Data: The time unit maintained here is used while processing performance data. The Planned TO time and the Time Limits of Critical Objects in Warehouse Activity Monitor is maintained in this Unit. • Blocking Method: The setting maintained in this field controls the degree to which multiple users are allowed to remove materials from the storage bins of the warehouse. • Partial Picking: This field controls the type of partial picking allowed in this warehouse. It controls the partial picking for material for TR and Delivery processing. • Capacity Check: This indicator controls the issue of messages in the case of incorrect data for capacity check function. If the capacity check function is activated in a Storage Type, we can control by using this indicator whether a warning message or an error message is issued in the case of missing weight in the Material Master Record. • Batch Missing during TR Creation: This setting controls whether a warning or an error message or no message at all, need to be displayed if batch is missing for a material which is handled in batches, at the time of TR Creation for this material • SU Management: If the warehouse is using Storage Units Management Function, then this indicator need to be activated. At the same time this indicator will also be activated for storage types in this warehouse. • Performance Data: To control whether an error or warning or no message to be displayed if some parameter is missing while processing planned TO data.
2.3 Defining Storage Type A warehouse Complex is divided into several different areas to store materials in different manner, for example High Rack Storage Area, Bulk Storage Area, GR Area, GI Area etc. IMG Path

2.9 Defining Master Data for Material Master 2.9.1 Define Storage Type Indicators Storage Type indicator is used to give special consideration to special materials in the stock placement or removal activities. It controls whether certain storage types are given priority when materials are placed in or removed from stock, by deploying putaway and picking strategies effectively. This indicator is assigned in the Warehouse Management 1 view of the material master record. And then while defining search strategy for putaway and stock removal, a separate table entry is created in the storage type search table for this indicator to differentiate the stock removal and placement of materials having this indicator, from other materials.

Strategies for Warehouse Operations
While carrying out warehouse operations, the Warehouse Management (WM) system needs to know o The storage types in which materials can be put away(for Stock Placement) o The storage types from which materials can be picked(for Stock Removal) • Logic for Storage Type Search in WM o
Firstly, the SAP System has to know the storage types in which materials are to be put away or picked from. This information is provided by the "Storage Type Search" table. If you have activated the storage unit check, it will also affect the storage type search. In this case, the storage unit type is from the transfer order is also checked against the permissible storage units for each storage type. The system takes this information from the "Allowed storage unit types / storage type" table, which you also configure here.
o
Secondly, you can also influence the storage type search by setting additional indicators. o Operation indicator (e.g. putaway or picking operation) o Storage type indicator from the material master o Stock category indicator o Special stock indicator o Storage class o Water pollution class (WPC)
The Warehouse Management system will only use the "storage class" and "water pollution class" indicators if you have activated the hazardous material management facility o
Thirdly, as already mentioned, various indicators affect the storage type search procedure. To reduce the number of entries in the storage type search table, you can define an access strategy. The system then uses this strategy as follows to locate the corresponding entries in the storage type search table:
First, the SAP System attempts to read a fully qualified entry, i.e. an entry with all of the relevant indicators from the material and (if present) hazardous material master. If the system does not find an entry in the storage type search table, it attempts to read the table again – this time using the access strategy
3.1 Activate Storage Type Search In this IMG Activity, search sequence for Storage Type search is determined. Following are the activities carried out in this step.

If you want the system to search through the entire warehouse number for a stock pick, enter "***" (stands for stringent FIFO) as the storage type. The system will then search the entire warehouse for the oldest stock of the material. The entry "+++" means that the system branches to the user exit to the stringent FIFO process (MWMTO013). To use 2-step picking procedure, make sure that the destination storage type of the pick step is used as the source storage type for distributing the accumulated quantities. For the storage type search with the 2step picking process, define activity type "2" (Column " Activity"). Activity types ‘A’ and ‘E’ are used for picking and putaway respectively

3.1.4 Access Optimization using Storage Type Search To reduce the number of entries, an access strategy can be defined for the storage type search table. With the help of this access strategy, the system determines the required entries in the storage type search table as follows: o The system first tries to find a suitable match, that is, an entry in the storage type search table with all the relevant indicators from the material master and, if available, from the hazardous material master. o If the system does not find a suitable entry in the storage type search table, it again tries to read this table, but this time using the access strategy. o For example, if we place a material into storage with type indicator "A" and stock category "R" (returned stock), the system finds no entry in the storage type search table. Next, the system goes to the access strategy table and looks in the first line which has no type indicators to look for stock category 'R' and special stock " " (blank). Since the system initially has no success in reading the table, it then looks in the second line for storage type indicator "A" without a stock category. The

3.3 Cross Line Stock Putaway – to Define Sort Sequence for Putaway The cross-line putaway method can be used with the following putaway strategies: o Empty storage bin o Addition to existing stock o Pallets o Bulk Storage If SAP system is allowed to carry out the search for a suitable storage bin according to the numerically ascending sequence of storage bins, there is a danger of one-sided loading into the warehouse. This can be influenced the sequence of storage bin allocation using this cross-line putaway method. With cross-line putaway, the danger of one-sided loading into the warehouse can be prevented and, at the same time, have the putaways carried out efficiently.

4.3 Define Print Control - Standard In this IMG Activity, the configuration data for print control is set. Using the print control function, for example, we can define which documents (that is, for transfer orders) are to be printed for goods movements. • How these documents are to be printed (that is, which forms are to be used, how many copies are to be printed). • On which printer a document is to be printed automatically. Using the print control functions, WMS provide flexible control of the printing activities in your warehouse. But it is advisable to have a look at the print control functionality documentation before setting up those flexible controls. This section involves Print Control for Standard Functionality. If Storage Unit Management is used in the warehouse then the standard functionality as well as print control for Storage Unit Management need to be defined. • How system determines a Printer in the warehouse for printing o 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? o First the system checks whether a printer is set in the configuration "Printer-Movement". If so, the printer determination is complete at this point. o If not, the system uses the parameter "PriSrcTyp" defined in the configuration "Printer-Movement" to decide how it will proceed. o 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. o If the system finds no printer, it searches in the setting "Printer - Storage Type" and uses this, if a printer is set. o 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. o If no printer is defined here, the system automatically proposes LP01.

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 storage location reference is used in two places in the Warehouse Management system: o The storage location reference is used by the system to determine the WM movement type for an IM posting. It is thus possible to determine different movement types within the WM system for the various storage locations and thus to execute postings to different interim storage types. o Also, the storage type reference is used for the storage type search. In this way, it is possible both during stock placement as well as during stock removals to select different storage types dependent on the storage location.
6.1.2 Define Movement Types In this IMG Activity, IM-WM integration is defined at Movement type level (the first level of this integration is WM-Plant/Sloc combination). • WM Movement Type o Like Inventory Management Movement Types, WM has also some movement types which controls process flow in the warehouse. In fact, WM movement type decides which Interim storage area need to be used for a particular material movement. o At the same time WM Movement type has various other control functions like Manual /Automatic TO, Print code, GR Data to be updated in quant or not, information regarding TO confirmation, Return storage type search for material returns and control indicators for Storage type search. • Reference Movement Type determines o WM Movement Type o Stock Category for the Quant to be generated in WM

Set the required parameters for 2-step picking in the specified sequence: • Activate 2-step picking for the deliveries in a warehouse number. o Define whether 2-step picking is to take place on a material-dependent basis. If you have materialdependent control, you must define the relevance of the material for each warehouse number in the material master. This is activated in Material Master Record in WM1 View. o Decide whether 2-step picking is to be redefined when a reference number is created. The process of determining 2-step picking, that is, the check for relevance of 2-step picking for the individual materials to be picked, takes place in the individual reference documents already when the documents are created. The items relevant for 2-step picking are marked accordingly in the reference documents. When the reference number is created, the determination of 2-step picking is no longer necessary. o For materials that are picked using the 2-step procedure, there is a separate procedure "2". With this procedure, the destination storage type is defined for the stock removal and this storage type is also defined as the source storage type for the allocation of the materials. o If the interim zone is changed for 2-level picking, or if the storage type determination is enhanced to suit customer-specific needs, the storage type search for 2-step picking must be adapted IMG Path

11 Wave Picking 11.1 Number Ranges 11.1.1 Number Range for Wave Types In this activity, number ranges for the wave picks are defined. When a picking wave is created, the system assigns a unique number that identifies the picking wave. The number comes from the number range that is provided for the picking waves. Only internal number assignment is provided for picking waves. The SAP system automatically assigns a consecutive number from the defined number range IMG Path

11.3 Delivery split by Warehouse Number and Delivery Type Delivery Split for Warehouse Number per Delivery Type o For each delivery type, it is required to create deliveries within one warehouse, the indicator 'Delivery split according to warehouse number‘ is set. This indicator ensures that items for one warehouse are split in one delivery o For each warehouse number, set the indicator 'Delivery split according to warehouse number‘ to ensure that the system will automatically create deliveries within one warehouse for all items from storage locations of this warehouse number. o If both indicators are set, a delivery will only contain items whose storage location matches the warehouse number in the header. When the system processes the delivery due list, and if this indicator is set, a "delivery split" takes place and separate deliveries will be created for items belonging to different warehouses. o In the document, when you look at the 'Warehouse number' field and the delivery split indicator in the delivery header, you can see whether the delivery is within one warehouse (delivery split indicator 'A') or not (delivery split indicator 'B'). The delivery split indicator is only visible when it is selected. This values are only displayed in the delivery header, they cannot be changed o If you are working with picking waves, you need deliveries for a single warehouse number since a picking wave refers to exactly one warehouse.

11.6 Create Picking Wave Profile In this activity you can maintain one or several picking wave profiles for each warehouse number. In the detailed screen you can enter data on capacity behavior and control: o
o
Capacity behavior: o By setting an entry in the field CapRestriction, you define whether this is a profile for picking waves with restricted capacity or a profile for picking waves without capacity restriction. o If you define a profile for waves with restricted capacity, you can define one or several capacity restrictions. The capacity limit of the entire wave is reached as soon as one of the capacity limits defined here has been reached. o You maintain the units for the capacity limits Maximum Weight, Maximum Volume in the section Control update of workload data in the field section for units of load data. Control: o By making an entry in the field Create Type, you determine the type and method for creating picking waves. At the moment, it is only possible to create waves using time criteria (check point). o With an entry in the field "Manual control", you determine whether the profile requires the creation of picking waves with manual control (that is, background processing is not allowed), or whether you can do without manual control (that is, background processing is allowed).
