Use

The interface between the Warehouse Management system (WMS) and the Production Control of the application component Production Planning (WM-PP interface) ensures direct material staging from the warehouse to production.

Prerequisites

You have set up the application component Production Planning (PP).

You have set up the application component Warehouse Management system (WMS).

You have defined number ranges for control cycles. To do this, choose the activity KANBAN ® Define Number Range for Control Cycle in the Customizing for Production.

Procedure

You have activated the interface between the WMS and PP in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Interfaces ® Define Production. To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. Define a WMS movement type for material staging to production and a WMS movement type for goods receipt from production in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Activities ® Transfers ® Define Movement Types.
  2. In the standard system, WMS movement type 319 is set up for material staging.

    In the standard system, WMS movement type 103 is set up for goods receipt from production. This movement type is assigned to IM movement type 101.

  3. Define at least one production storage type as an interface storage type for material staging.
  4. In the standard system, storage type 100 is set up for material staging.

  5. Assign the WMS movement type for material staging to your material staging storage type in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Interfaces ® Define production ® Replenishment movement type ® Assign.
  6. Create the production supply areas in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Interfaces ® Define production ® Production supply area ® Maintain.
  7. Define and manage the physical production storage bins in the WMS.
  8. For more information, see Creating Storage Bins.

  9. Create control cycles for the components to be staged.
  10. You define how a component is to be staged for a production supply area, and in which production storage bin.

  11. If you want to activate automatic material staging for production orders, define a production scheduling profile in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Interfaces ® Define Production ® Define control data ® Production View, and set the indicator WM request.
  12. For more information, see Automatic Material Staging.

    Note

    You can only use automatic material staging if you have assigned a production storage bin to all of the staging components.

  13. Activate the WM-PP interface by setting the indicator PP interface active in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Interfaces ® Define Production ® Define Control Data ® Whse Management View ® Warehouse Number.

Result

The WM-PP interface is set up for material staging from the warehouse to production and for the receipt of finished materials from production to the warehouse.
