How change Storage bin search logic in WM ?

Hi All,

Standard process to find bin during putaway in WM is as follow :

First find storage type, then storage section and finally storage bin type.

Is it possible to change slightly this logic as follow :

Find storage type first, then with first storage bin type find a bin in storage section sequence, if not found try to found with second storage bin type within storage section sequence and so on.

It's a kind of mix bewtween storage bin type search and storage section search.

Thanks for advice !

So it should first search for storage bin type "A" (for example) in standard search sequence and if no available bin type "A" is found then search again for bin type "B"?

Is that the logic you want?

Hi Jacob,

It should search for storage bin type "A" according to storage section search, then with storage bin type "B" according again to storage section search and so on...

OK, so you want it to check all storage sections for available bin type "A" and only then loop back around and check for bin type "B" from the first storage section again.

Storage bin type check is relative to the allowed Storage unit types per bin based on my understanding. During put away the system will check the allowed SUT in sequence based on your entries in your storage bin type search so it would loop within first storage section until it sees no available bin type that fits the allowed bin types (sequential) and only check second storage section (again sequential) when none of the allowed bin types are found available, so if I understand the available config options what you want is not possible without customization....check exit MWMTO003 - Customer-defined putaway strategy to create your own strategy
