• Key Concepts: 
  Putaway strategy is a component of SAP Warehouse Management (LE-WM) that determines the storage bin for goods that are received in a warehouse. It is used to optimize the storage of goods and ensure that they are stored in the most efficient way possible. The putaway strategy can be configured to take into account various factors such as the size of the goods, the type of goods, and the availability of storage bins. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The putaway strategy is configured in the SAP system by defining rules for each type of goods. These rules determine which storage bin should be used for each type of goods. The rules can also be configured to take into account other factors such as the size of the goods, the type of goods, and the availability of storage bins. Once the rules are defined, they can be applied to incoming goods to determine which storage bin should be used for each item. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring the putaway strategy, it is important to consider all relevant factors such as size, type, and availability of storage bins. It is also important to consider how frequently items will need to be retrieved from storage bins when configuring the rules. This will help ensure that items are stored in an efficient manner and can be retrieved quickly when needed.
