Is standard

No

Yes / No. Determines whether this strategy is the default value in the list creation of the associated process. It is recommended that at least one strategy is activated with "Is default=Yes" for each strategy type.

Running routine

No

Specification for the sequence in the storage bin search. Examples:

• Crash class ascending (sequence = empty crash class and then 0,1,2,3)

• Crash class descending (sequence = 3,2,1,0 and then empty crash class)

• Storage bin ascending (sequence = from small coordinate to large coordinate)

• Storage bin descending (sequence = from large coordinate to small)

• Packaging unit groups gross weight ascending (sequence = from small packaging unit gross weight to large)

• Packaging unit groups gross weight descending (sequence = from large packaging unit gross weight to small)

Reserve with missing quantity

No

Yes / No. Determines whether the sales order may also reserve partial quantities for the "Start order" strategy. Sales order status "Shortage" can occur if an item has no stock when it is removed from storage.

Zone type

Catalogue selection

Selection list:

• Hazardous material storage

• WE Gate

• Order picking

• Production line

• Shipment consolidation

• Storage area Code

Zone value

Catalogue selection

Selection list for zone type. The selection list corresponds to the maintained zone values (example: storage area code).

Whole packaging units only

Yes/No

Refers to picking and transport. The stock allocations are made on the basis of the article master data (packaging levels). Partial quantities are not taken into account. For example, packaging level "Carton = 200 pcs". 200 units or a multiple thereof are assigned as stock allocations.

Only suitable for forklift trucks

Yes/No

There are only transport orders for SUs whose LHMs have the "Suitable for forklift truck" flag set in the master data.

Sorting

Catalogue selection

Multiple selection possible, selection sequence = test sequence

Selection list:

• Best-fit stock quantity - reduction of the storage bins to be approached to the best, minimum number

• Stock quantity descending/ascending - prioritise storage units with the largest/smallest stock

• Level descending/ascending - sorted by level of the warehouse topology descending/ascending.

• FEFO (First expired - First out) - Storage method in which items that expire first are removed first.

• FIFO (First in - First out) - sorting according to the oldest goods receipt date, oldest goods first

• LIFO (Last in - First out) - the goods stored last are removed first.

• Storage bin descending/ascending - sorted by storage coordinate of the storage topology descending/ascending.

• Storage bin date - Sorting according to the oldest creation date in relation to the source storage bin.

• PU quantity descending - Selection of the source PU according to the size of the packaging units stored in the article master data, descending

Picking

Yes/No

Zone is to be used as a valid source for picking orders.

Use quantity of packaging unit

Catalogue selection

This defines the quantity to be selected via the packaging unit.

Optional access

Yes/No

If the source storage bin supports random access, the stock reservation is created with "random access".

Enables the user to select a suitable item

Force whole packaging units

Yes/No

During stock allocation, the LHMs in the "Loading equipment types" field and the article master data are compared. If a LHM in the "Loading equipment types" field matches the LHM in the packaging units, the exact quantities from the packaging units are taken into account in the stock reservation.

If there are missing parts, the open order quantities are not passed on in descending order in the strategy. Only open remaining quantities that cannot be divided by a multiple of the packaging units (loading equipment types) are passed on.

Loading equipment types

Selection list (multiple selection)

Selection of the loading equipment to be taken into account when reserving stock in the source zone. All loading aids from the master data are available for selection. Multiple selection possible.

Reduction by packaging unit quantity

Selection list (multiple selection)

The required quantity is allocated to all LHMs (packaging units) entered in the planning and only the open "remaining quantity requirements" are taken into account in the source setting when allocating stock. Multiple selection possible.

Equate alternative article with article

Yes/No

The stock reservation checks all alternative articles and the article number for the stock without sequence, i.e. in the same order.

The "oldest BBD" via the pool of the article number should be reserved.

Sorting by FEFO can be added (optional).

Zone type

Select list

Specifies the destination area to which the transport is to be created. Make selection:

• Hazardous material storage

• WE Gate

• Order picking

• Production line

• Shipment consolidation

• Storage area Code

Zone value

Select list

If a list of values is stored for the zone type, the desired value can be selected here.

Allowance

Yes/No

Determines whether an allowance should be possible.

• The addition has additional requirements that are checked.

• (1) Addition to stock must be possible in full, otherwise cancellation.

  • Target can be 1-n container

• (2) The maximum capacity is available based on the article master packaging unit.

New loading equipment type (storage not possible and separation)

Select list

If an LHM type is entered, an attempt is made to create an LE with the LHM at the target location if the replenishment is unsuccessful.

Loading equipment type for height calculation

Select list

If a LHM type is entered, this is used for the height calculation.

For the storage bin search, the height should be recalculated based on the article and packaging unit. Consolidation with effective storage bin search by actual height.

Division into quantity

Numerical value

Separation of the transport into the entered quantity

Customs transformation

Yes/No

Determines whether the article number is to be changed for a customs transformation.

• See warehouse option "Stock - Stock transformation article list"

• Selection = alternative article, product category, parts lists

• The article master must have entered the corresponding data.

Message type "StockTransformation_v1" is activated synchronously at the target LP during putaway. Must be activated in the service configuration.

Separation according to LHM type

Select list

The value specifies the target loading aid (packaging unit) for the target storage bin shipment. Several loading aids can be entered. The first one that fits the item is used.

Nesting according to LHM type

Selection list (multiple selection)

Creation of partial stocks in new storage units. The value specifies the target storage aid in which the quantity to be transferred is to be nested. The source storage unit is retained.

Source = EURO with 4711 and 1000 pieces.
Target = EURO with 4711 and 10 boxes of 100 pieces each.

Target loading aid types

Catalogue selection (multiple selection)

Optional. Specifies the LHM type to which the target booking should be made.

Example - putaway to a fixed bin storage unit. The LHM type specifies the name.

Time of storage bin search

Catalogue selection

Optional. Defines when the storage bin search should start. Make selection:

Sorting

Catalogue selection (multiple selection)

Selection list:

• Best-fit width: The storage bin width is taken into account.

• Best-fit weight: The weight restriction on storage bins is taken into account.

• Best-fit height: The height of the storage bins is taken into account.

• Storage bin ascending: Sorting by storage bin coordinates in ascending order.

• Storage bin descending: Sorting by storage coordinates descending.

Characteristic purity

Catalogue selection (multiple selection)

Optional. Determines the characteristic-pure storage.

Selecting at least one value activates the characteristic-pure storage for the target setting strategy. The values selection and sequence can be arbitrary.
