Automatic Replenishment ~ Warehouse Management (WM) in SAP



This article is intended for SAP functional consultants to configure automatic replenishment of a particular storage type for transfer orders. Whenever the stock in a bin falls below the MIN value (predefined minimum quantity), it will trigger replenishment or transfer request (TR) which will in turn get converted into a transfer order, so that the workers in the warehouse can carry out the actual physical transfer of stock.
We have a provision of assigning a definite storage type from where the stock will be picked up for replenishment.  

Step 1:
Material Master has to be maintained with Warehouse Views.
Under Warehouse Mgmt 2 Storage bin, Maximum bin Quantity, Minimum bin Quantity and Replenishment Quantity has to be maintained.



Configuration Changes:
Step 2:
Movement type 320 is copied from existing movement type 319 under Logistics Execution ->Warehouse management->Activities->Transfers->Define Movement Types.


Movement type 320 is configured as the following and saved. We can define SRC for the Source storage bin so that no interim storage bin is taken into consideration.


Step 3:
Replenishment Control is defined for the storage type under Logistics Execution ->Warehouse management->Activities->Transfers-> Define Replenishment Control for Storage Type and saved.



Dedicated printers can be set up under Logistics Execution ->Warehouse management->Activities->Define Print Control for a particular storage type and saved





Step 4:
One job needs to be scheduled for each report. The report jobnames are randomly defined:

    Hi Raj,
    this looks good, thanks. I miss the last part however, it is not finished. My question is, can you make this work event triggered, so that replenishment happens directly when stock is taken out and below minimum?
    Thanks Onno

    Hello Raj,
    I have question, if it is possible to use Replanishement WM functionality also for materials managed in HU-location.
    I made short test, maintained material (WM views), created TR (LP21) and TO (LB11), but during TO confirmation I get error message and it is no possible to confirm it.
    Thank you in advance for your answer!
    Sana

    A warehouse management system (WMS) is a key part of the supply chain and primarily aims to control the movement and storage of materials within a warehouse. survival warehouse food supplies

Teradata - Month End Date

Sql Server: Calculating the last day of the month in SQL Server is pretty simple. Run the following piece of code and its done. SELECT DATEADD(s,-1,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(m,0,GETDATE())+1,0)) CurrentMonthEnd_Day ResultSet: CurrentMonthEnd_Day ———————– 2010-08-31 23:59:59.000 Teradata: However, with reference to Teradata SQL, in our day to day queries in a datawarehouse environment very frequently we need to play with the month end dates that are mostly kept in the date dimension table with one field, i.e. the month end date field. You might require to fetch the month end date which is 4 years back. usually the simplest way in this case will be to calculate 48 months back from the current month end date (in case the monthe end date that long is not stored into the database). This is fair. The piece of code required to do is simple. SELECT (ADD_MONTHS(CAST('2012/08/31' AS DATE),-48)) Result: 2008/08/31 Now trying this simple thing will not work if its a leap year a...

SQL Optimizer Parameterization

Image
Plan Recompilation Once the Query Optimizer has come up with a plan, which may have taken a considerable amount of work, SQL Server does its best to ensure that you can leverage all that costly work again. It does this by caching the plan it just created, and taking steps to ensure that the plan is reused as widely as possible. It does this by using parameterization options. Parameterization Parameterization is a process whereby SQL Server will take the T-SQL you entered and look for ways to replace values that may be variables with a token, so that if a similar query is processed, SQL Server can identify it as being the same underlying query, apart from some string, or integer values, and make use of the already cached plan. For example, the following is a basic T-SQL query to return data from the Adventure Works 2008 database:    select *    from person.person    where lastname = 'fluffy' The parameterization of this query would result in the string...
