 Two Steps Picking Process in SAP-WM

Introduction: In this Process, the stock removal process has been divided into two steps.
1st step is to withdraw OR PICK the total quantity of material collectively from the storage type for the Multiple
Outbound deliveries and Place it into the Interim storage type of 2step Picking.

2nd step is to Distribute OR Allocate that total material according to Outbound deliveries.

This process is activated at Warehouse level and as per requirement material by material.

Configuration Steps:

 Activate two step picking for Transfer requirement:

SPRO–>Logistic Execution–>Warehouse Management–>Activities–>Transfers–>Set up 2 step picking process for

Transfer Requirement

Under Transfer requirement control, we need to make following setting.

1) Assign 2 step picking under column 2stP for given Warehouse No

2) If you check column 2-stMatl system will check that 2 Step is Material dependent or not., only those
Materials will be part of 2 steps picking where 2 step provisions is made in Material master under Warehouse
view 1

3) Movement type 850 needs to be assigned as this is movement type will be used during first TO during
collective picking to bring the materials to interim Storage Type 200

Here you can see that 20 qty has been issued from Plant M001/SLoc M010/ WH M32 to Plant M101

So that we need to post GR at Plant M101/SLoc M004 /WH M30 with ref to OBD

GR for PO 4500024943 –OBD IS 80018232

GR for PO 4500024944 –OBD IS 80018233

Follow the regular WM process for WAREHOUSE During receiving material (TR->TO -> Confirm TO)
