Dear All,
My Company has recently implemented SAP, and I am associated with SAP MM and S&D.
Since our company has three basic strategic business units, which are responsible for the sale of the Goods, therefore, they have created three different Storage Locations, under common Warehouse.
As asked why multiple storage locations, when the material is physically lying in one Physical storage area (Warehouse),the answer was " we need to identify the stock of different SBU's".
This creates a problem while issuing materials. Since the picking strategy is FIFO based on Quant number, and sap will use the same for picking , but when it comes to physical , it creates a mismatch between the physical and System stock ( Meaning - Storage Bin wise Mismatch), because system is not able to identity" which material and in what quantity belongs to whom".
Even though we have same materials ( With Same Material Code) which can be used by any of these three SBU's,
Suppose Production department manufactures 1000 EA of Material A, which will be stored in the single pallet, but with following breakup:
SBU1 500
SBU2 300
SBU3 200
Storing them on different storage bins, will mean "underutilization of warehouse Space ", and storing them on single pallet would result in mis-match of the Stock pertaining storage bins.
Hope the scenario is clear !
Awaiting Reponses !
Regards,
Malik Abrar Altaf.
