What happens when you have a mixed pallet and no deconsolidation step? You drag the pallet through the warehouse and at each final bin you take out the respective product for this bin. Somewhere you tell the system where you left the HU. And if your final bin has an HU requirement, that of course does not work (except I guess if the bin is not empty and you add to stock or have mixed storage or something in there).

The other thing (the putaway HU) I believe is quite well explained. You receive a mixed HU with 15 WTs. The decon HU value is 10, the putaway HU value is 5. So because it is higher than 10, you need to deconsolidate, but you can move 5 WTs into one other HU and then you can put it all away. Which leads to what I explained before (you need to drop the products at the finals bins without HU). And what does not make any sense for (and I have not tested what happens) if you have 8 WTs: you do not need to deconsolidate? But you are above the value for putaway HU? Yeah, not sure how practical that is.

Not sure if anyone understand that. Especially the concept. I just read again through the documentation and I think I understand how it works, but not sure why you would do certain things...

And it is EWM. NOT eWM - Duh!And if your question includes the word "transfer order" - do NOT tag the question with Extended Warehouse Management!

So you receive a mixed HU, the products have WTs to different bins and based on the number of WTs in the HUs and this value “max number in the decon HU” you either move the pallet via the decon WC and do a deconsolidation – or you skip the WC.

I need to understand the concept of MaxP and MaxD Warehouse tasks needed for Deconsolidation. I read various documentation but that ended with confusion.Like if the max nos of WT for Decon HU are equal to or greater than Putaway HU then the system allows for deconsolidation.Now the question arisesOn what basis should we choose nos of WT for both putaway HU and Decon HU?What is the difference between Putaway and Decon HU?What settings are required in the Destination storage type and Bins?

For me, the only real valuable entry in there is “1”. Because IMHO nothing else makes sense (but customers might see that differently).

Why would you want to do a deconsolidation? Because you receive a mixed pallet (mixed means with different products). And you do not want to store a mixed pallet, but each product should go into its separate bin.
