Let's understand with an example to answer your questions, suppose you wanted to create the bins with co-ordinate

elements as A-01-01 where A represents the shelf, first 01 for stacks and second 01 for levels.

Step1: First is to define the bin coordinates using indicators in the template field. The indicators used in standard SAP
are 'A' for alphabetic characters, 'N' for numeric characters and 'C' for common characters or the characters which
remain unchanged.

Rule: We must always use all 10 digits of the template field. If you don't want to use all the places enter 'C' for blank,
we cannot use special characters '/' in the bin structure.

Now lets represent the bin coordinates A-01-01, the template will form as ACNNCNNCCC, where first letter A to
represent alphabetic character, C for hyphen(common character), NN for 01, C for hyphen again, NN for 01 and then
rest with C for blank spaces.

Your question:Let's assume about " template" --- there is any standard convention to choose about template
designing like NNCCNN ... ??? is it always started with NN or it's user defined ?? ...

A: It will not start always with N, it depends on the bin coordinates you are choosing as explained above.

Step2: Specify which parts of the coordinates are incremented independently in the structure field.

Rule: Different letters denotes increment of each digit independently and same letters denotes increment of multiple
digits.

Lets look at our examle A-01-01, if you want the increment separately for Shelf, stack and level, then it should be
represented with ABBCC

Your question: about . "STRUCTURE" - it's written as AA BB CC - could anybody explain why it's written as ?? can it
be changed as BB AA CC / AB CA CB like that ?? there is any convention ??

Answer: If it is written as AABBCC, then you must be representing the shelf, stack and level with 2 digits and the
increment is separate for each coordinate (AA represents to increment shelf 2 digit together, similarly BB and CC for
stack and level). It cannot be changed as BBAACC, because it does not make sense to increment in uneven way for
the bin coordinates, it should always be represented in a structured way of the bin coordiates.

Step3: Specify start value, end value and increment value.

Your questions:
4. start value - starts which discriminates shelf no. / stack no./ level no. ??
5. Increment - increment depends upon user or there is any rule to decide it ?? ..

Fourth question is answered in step 1 & 2.

Answer for Q5: Increment is defined for alpha and numeric characters in the template and it is decided on how you
want the bin coordiates to be incremented (represente

Hi,
Here is the answers for your questions,
1. about increment - as of your given example , if we want to make increment as 01-01-01 , then after the starting corordinate A -01-01 , which would be the next one - A 01 -02-02 or any others ?? ...

A: If your start value is A-01-01 with structure as A BB CC, you should not give the increment as 01-01-01, it should
be given as 111 because your structure says that A is one coordinate (Shelf), 01 is another coordinate for stack and
01 for level. If you give 111 as the increment and let's say the end value = B-02-02 then the system will create the
bins as A-01-01, A-01-02, A-02-01, A-02-02, B-01-01, B-01-02. B-02-01, B-02-02. That means it will start the
increment from last coordinate.
If you wanted to create the bins as 01-01-01, then you should mention it as start value.
2 . before deciding the increment , there is any rule that first to fill up all stacks and levels , after that shelf is coming
next ?? ....
A: The increment depends on the structure you define, for example if you want the shelf to be remained same and
stack and level should be incremented, then leave blank for shelf space and mention the digits for stack and level
only. Example structure BB CC
Rule for increment value input: Enter the increment value exactly below the coordinate element that is to increase.
3. what's significance of sequence no. for creation of bins ? ...
A: Sequence number is used to differentiate the multiple bin structures for the same warehouse and storage type
combination.
4. in practical scenario , which tcode - tools has been used for creation of n-numbers of bins in warehouse ?? ....
LS10 /LS05 or in batch process by BDC /LSMW ?? ....
A: I generally use LS10, never tried BDC, LSMW.
