Fixed bin replenishment - How to prevent using source bin as same bin that needs to be replenished

2 weeks ago 3

As the rubric suggests, I've successfully implemented fixed bin replenishment to our system. And erstwhile immoderate of these fixed bins autumn nether their minimum bin qty, they are flagged for replenishment, arsenic we hoped they would.

The occupation comes during the adjacent step: We noticed that SAP archetypal goes to the precise bin that needs to beryllium replenished, and picks that aforesaid bin to beryllium the archetypal root bin it volition propulsion worldly from. And lone aft depleting that bin, does it determination to different root bin (assuming that the replenishment qty is simply a greater than the disposable qty of course). We privation SAP to artifact the bin that's being replenished from being utilized arsenic a root bin for replenishing said bin. I'll explicate this amended with this illustration below, I hope.

Lets accidental the fixed bin is called A00-01. Lets accidental that the existent quantity of banal successful this bin presently is 10, and that the minimum bin qty is acceptable astatine 20 (meaning the existent quantity fell beneath the minimum qty triggering it to beryllium replenished, which is what we want). And lets accidental that the replenishment quantity is 40.

Initially, what we saw happing were 2 transactions happening successful this order:
1) 10 units from A00-01 determination close backmost to A00-01 (leaving qty unchanged astatine 10 still)
2) 30 (remaining) units determination from different root bin to A00-01 (leaving last qty astatine 40)

We fundamentally privation to forestall the archetypal measurement from happening AT ALL, and spell straight to measurement 2 but each 40 units are moved from root bin to A00-01, leaving the last quantity aft replenishment = 50 units ( aka 10 (initial qty earlier replenishment) + 40 (replenishment quantity)

We tried changing the hunt series truthful that different retention types would beryllium picked first, which did forestall this circumstantial script from happening, BUT we besides realized that we really WANT it to look astatine different bins wrong the aforesaid retention benignant FIRST earlier it checked different retention types. So this won't enactment for us.

Hoping idiosyncratic telephone archer america if they cognize however to temporarily artifact the bin that's being replenished from becoming the root bin portion moving replenishment. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
