Standard SAP WM Strategies •
•
_________________________________
The following two examples will use the same Master Data points in combination with Storage Type configuration settings in Placement and Removal Strategies Discussion:
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________
Capacity Checks Near-Fixed Bin Picking Large/Small Picking Rounding Quantities RF Queue Management
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ 8
Stock Placement — Near-Fixed Bin with Capacity
_________________________________
Combination of strategies:
•
_________________________________
Implement Capacity Check 3 for Fixed Bin Storage Type f Neutral Indicators per Bin and Material “Near-Fixed Bin” for Bulk and Rack Type Medias Together, provide “top off” functionality in Fwd Pick Bins while making replenishment process more efficient Other considerations: f Palletization data (LE Quantity) from WM2 View (Material Master View) can help with this process for separate transfer order (TO) line items per material
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ 9
Stock Placement — Near-Fixed Bin with Capacity (cont.) •
•
•
_________________________________
Maximum Fixed Bin Quantity of 40 cases

_________________________________
Dependent upon Master Data and Search Strategies for Removal
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________
•
_________________________________
Rounding Quantity setting is an option within configuration at Storage Type level
_________________________________ _________________________________ 14
Stock Removal — Large/Small Picking (cont.) •
_________________________________
Master Data
_________________________________
Each Pick Area f Rounding Qty = Not Used f Control Qty = Case – 1 Each Case Picking Area f Rounding Qty = Case Quantity f Control Qty = Pallet – 1 Case Pallet Picking Area f Rounding Qty = Pallet Quantity f Control Qty = Not Used

Wave Planning •
Base/Order Picking
•
_________________________________
Pick by single delivery Works well in operations with Low numbers of orders and Moderate to High numbers of picks per order
_________________________________ _________________________________
Batch/Multi-Order Picking (Group)
•
_________________________________
_________________________________
Multiple orders are grouped into small batches Works well in operations with Low to High numbers of orders and Low number of picks per order
_________________________________ _________________________________
Zone Picking
_________________________________
Order Picking where the picking areas are subdivided into individual pick zones Works well in operations with Moderate to High numbers of orders and Low to Moderate picks per order
_________________________________ _________________________________ 32
Wave Planning (cont.) •
_________________________________
Wave Picking
_________________________________
Variation of Batch and Zone Picking; multiple zones picked at one time and later sorted and consolidated for final shipment Works well in operations with Low to High numbers of orders and Moderate to High picks per order
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ 33
Wave Planning (cont.) • •
SAP offers tools to handle all types of picking methods Most common methods of manually creating waves are through Outbound Delivery Monitor
•
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________
Wave Planning According to Shipments also available Create by Delivery or Shipment Group Times
_________________________________
Deliveries are assigned at the Header Level
_________________________________
A single delivery cannot be split to two separate waves
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ 34
Wave Planning (cont.) •
•
• •
_________________________________
A background batch job is run periodically to create waves of one or more deliveries. The batch job then creates transfer orders for picking. The waves are created based on criteria maintained in the Load Wave Creation Table The batch job is scheduled to run every hour Hazardous and non-hazardous orders are split into two separate deliveries. The deliveries can be waved together based on the parameter table.
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ 35
Wave Planning (cont.)
_________________________________
In certain situations, the user may need to trigger the batch job manually
•
_________________________________ _________________________________
Use transaction ZTOCREATE: Creates waves and generates transfer orders for parts shipping points
_________________________________
The batch job will run as normal using the criteria from the parameters table The batch job will also still run at its normally scheduled time The following slides show an example of using standard functionality with a custom front end for wave creation along with SAPConsole

What Is Cross-Docking? •
Distribution method in which the goods flow in an unbroken sequence from receiving to shipping (dispatching), thus eliminating storage. Also called flowthrough distribution.

_________________________________
Cross-docking is the practice in logistics of unloading materials from an incoming vehicle and loading these materials in outbound vehicles with little or no storage in between.

Planned Cross-Docking •
_________________________________
A decision that establishes a link between a Planning document and Candidate document prior to the actual arrival of incoming stock and release of an outbound delivery or requirement

Opportunistic Cross-Docking •
•
•
•
_________________________________
The system automatically designates a document or item for cross-docking after arrival of incoming stock of an outbound delivery or requirement A prerequisite is an open picking or putaway transfer order Does not override existing decisions, but will cancel open TOs With standard, only works in the form of one-step docking

Goals of Cross-Docking • •
•
Enable planned and opportunistic cross-docking Provide user-friendly interface for cross-dock planning and monitoring Evaluate utilization of cross-docking, considering the following:
•
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________
Ensure cross-docking does not contradict warehouse rules Establish a method of communication between incoming stock and outgoing demand based on customer requirements and organizational goals
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________
Enable automatic and manual decision-making modes

Final Thoughts on Cross-Docking • •
•
FIFO considerations are configurable Cross-docking is integrated with SAP Yard Management System (YMS) Will not create a decision if the Load Quantity is greater than the Open Decision Quantity
• • •
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________
Consider a BAdI for full or less-than-full pallet quantities
_________________________________
Does not support Mixed Pallets Applies to Available Stock only Customer-specific requirements can be added
_________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________
Exclude materials Modify algorithms for “optimal” cross-docking
