Strategy: Pallet Storage (by HU Type)

Explanation of the Strategy

High rack storage is frequently designed so that a storage bin can accommodate several different
HU types.
The following figure shows the “Pallet Storage by HU Type” strategy. For example, a storage bin
can accommodate multiple pallets depending on the size of the pallet, such as three europallets
(80 x 120) or two industrial pallets (100 x 120). A storage bin may be able to accommodate a single
oversized pallet or several very narrow pallets.

With this strategy, you define the maximum number of quants for each combination of storage bin
type and HU type. The first time that the system puts away products in this storage bin, it
determines the storage bin sectioning that it assigns to the storage bin. The system also
determines which and how many HUs it can put away in the storage bins.

Prerequisites
You have made the following settings for the storage type in Customizing for EWM under Master Data
® Define Storage Type:
● You have chosen the Pallet Storage value in the Storage Behavior field.
● You have chosen the Empty Bin value in the Putaway Rules field.
● You have activated the HU type check.
● You have chosen the Mixed Storage Without Limitations value in the Mixed Storage field.

The following table shows the number of storage bin sections that you can define for a storage bin.
This means that you use this number to control the number of HUs that can occupy a storage bin.
