Term: Stock Determination
Component: SCM-EWM Extended Warehouse Management
Definition: Stock determination in SAP EWM is the process of selecting the appropriate stock to fulfill a warehouse request, such as a picking or goods issue. It involves rules and strategies to decide which stock (based on attributes like batch, storage type, or stock status) should be used first to meet demand efficiently and accurately.
How It’s Used: In real SAP EWM projects, stock determination is critical during outbound processes like picking or internal warehouse movements. For example, when fulfilling a customer order, the system uses stock determination to select the best available stock—such as the oldest batch or stock in a specific storage bin—to ensure FIFO compliance or to meet quality requirements. It also helps in managing stock with different statuses (e.g., blocked, unrestricted) and ensures that only suitable stock is issued.
