Define
Production
The Production Planning component (PP SFC
component) can carry out material staging for production in
production storage bins using the Warehouse Management system
.
The physical production storage bins are
defined and managed in the Warehouse Management system. In this case, you can
group together different
work centers to production supply areas from the viewpoint of
production supply.
Within a plant, you define for each
material and supply area in which
storage bin the required materials are to be provided and which
type of material staging is to be used.
The following staging types (control cycles)
are supported:
The material requisition creates a requirement,
which usually results in orders.
Requirements
Implementation of the PP SFC
component .
Standard
Settings
In the SAP standard system, storage type 100
and
replenishment movement type 319 are preset in warehouse number
001.
Activities
Set the necessary parameters for the PP
interface in the specified sequence:
1. Maintain
production supply area
In a plant, you
define the material staging type and bin coordinate of the production storage
bin for each supply area and material. For the supply of material to
production by means of MM-WM, you can group together different work centers
from the production supply viewpoint using the supply area.
For WM material
staging, allocate the (WM-managed)
storage location to the plant in question.
At the production
scheduler level, you can determine for a combination of
plant and
order type whether WM material staging is to be carried out
automatically during the release or whether this always has to be started
manually.
3. WM movement
type for replenishment
For a
storage type , you determine which WM movement type is used to
transfer the warehouse replenishment for production.
Allocate the
respective WM movement type to your production storage type.
4. Activating
the PP or PP-PI interface
For each
warehouse number , you determine whether a direct supply of
material to production through Warehouse Management is
active or not.
Activate the
interface for each warehouse number

Notes
If you are using the automatic creation of
transfer orders following the generation of transfer requirements, refer to
the chapter
"Activate Automatic TO Creation" for more information.
