Constructing Storage Bins Master Record


Storage bins are master data in WM... when you create storage bin you can assign it to storage bin TYPE...


Why do we have storage bin types?
In case we have two types of bins each with different dimensions in the storage section...


You can block storage bin(s) for the putway and/or stock removal and/or stock transfer...


what is the Quant ?
the Quant is the stored quantity in the storage bin...


Cariterias to define the quant :

The material that is stored in the storage bin , if it has the same :
1. Material Number
2. Stock Type (unrestricted use , blocked , quality inspection).
3.Special Stock Assignment (e.g Project , customer)
4.Plant/Storage location assigment of the material
5.Batch number (if applicable).


Can we add to an existing quant ?
if you want to add to the quant (if it is not mixed) , make sure you maintain the cariteria that define the quant.
e.g. same material , stock type ...etc
ALSO , there is a setting that needs to be done in the storage bin to allow "addition to existing stock"

keep in mind that after the addition to the existing stock , still it remains one quant...
sure it got increased...


Can we add different quants to the same bin?
yes , if we permit "mixed storage" in the storage type...
