Hi Everyone,
We are using ECC 6.0 EHP5 with IM for warehouse.
We are in blueprint phase for a WM (not eWM) roll out and have hit a challenge.
Current Physical Structure:
One warehouse
Pick Faces
Bulk Storage
Current Logical Structure:
Plant A > SLOC 1
Plant B > SLOC 1 | SLOC 2 | SLOC 3
Purchase orders buy the stock into specific logical plant / sloc
Sales orders despatch stock from specific logical plant/sloc
We logically need to separate the stock into specific SLOC, this is due to MRP and logical segregation reasons
HOWEVER All stock of same material is physically mixed together, irrespective of SLOC/ Plant
example:
Material 1001 Total stock = 1000 PC
400 PC Plant A | SLOC1
100 PC Plant B | SLOC2
500 PC Plant B | SLOC3
In WM would face a challenge of inefficient replenishment and picking, due to the logical structures.
To be clear, we do not care which Plant/Sloc the stock is picked from, because everything is physically mixed then it can be a combination.
Due to space constraints we cannot physically separate stock.
QUESTION - Can eWM overcome this limitation i.e. we can assign multiple s.locs from the same plant into the same warehouse and not face issues with picking/replenishment?
Appreciate any help
thanks
Rob
