Fixed Bin Process in EWM:: Sensitivity: Internal & Restricted
Fixed Bin Process in EWM:: Sensitivity: Internal & Restricted
In SAP WM, there is a limitation of assigning only one storage bin to the material master. We can only
assign one bin to the material master. If the bin is occupied, then system will suggest reserve storage type
based on our configuration. Sometimes “Near picking bin -K” put away strategy helps in those conditions like
if system could not place the stock in fixed bins.
This limitation has overcame in EWM, we can manage multiple storage bins for single material in EWM.
In EWM we need to configure the storage type to deal with fixed bin storage. Check boxes “Use Fixed bins”
and “Check max no. bins” will influence the fixed bin storage.
After having this check boxes marked, we need to adopt the storage type data and maintain the maximum
number of bins in warehouse product
