Prerequisites
· You have made the following settings for the storage type in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Master Data ®Define Storage Type:
¡ You have chosen the Bulk Storage value in the Storage Behavior field.
¡ You have chosen the Addition to Existing Stock/Empty Bin value in the Putaway Rules field.
¡ You have chosen the Addition to existing stock permitted value in the Addn.Stock Forbidden field.
¡ Do not activate the HU type check and do not choose a capacity check method. A capacity check and HU type check are not necessary in bulk storage because an internal check is carried out based on the block structure definition.
¡ Choose the required option in the Mixed Storage field. For more information about the permitted combinations, see the relevant field help.
· When defining the storage type control for this strategy, you must take into consideration the following indicators, among others, to control the putaway of products into bulk storage:
¡ Putaway blocking for row
¡ Time limit for blocking
For more information about these control options, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for EWM underGoods Receipt Process ®Strategies® Putaway Rules ® Putaway Behavior: Bulk Storage ® Storage Type Control for Bulk Storage.
Definition of Bulk Storage Indicators
For this strategy, you can enter bulk storage indicators together with a description. Using the bulk storage indicator, you define how you want to store a particular product in bulk storage. To do this, you enter the bulk storage indicator in the product master record and again in the bulk storage sectioning table when defining the structure of a block.
