Warehouse Management

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

Hi,

On our system, we have two storage locations ( A and B ) where A is the main factory and B is a warehouse managed by a third party.

Currently, the process is this:
Shortage is found on the line
Team leader is notified
MB1B is used to create a 311 goods movement which creates a pick list for personnel at B
SAP moves the stock from B to A immediately
LB10 is used to print pick list
Personnel move stock from B to A ( may be a delay of a few days )
LT12 is used to confirm the pick and clear it from LB10

This creates a problem where stock is showing at location A that hasn't physically been transferred, which gives rise to a race condition, for example, if the part was cycle counted after being sent for pick.

Is this the correct way of handling such a shortage/pick list? Is there another process which would give better visibility and tracing of stock locations?

Thank you
