An area in production or in the warehouse where products are staged or withdrawn.
To stage products for a production order, a warehouse must know where it has to take the products. For production orders in the ERP system, the PSA contains this information.
A PSA usually contains one or more storage bins where you can stage the products of a production order. For this reason, the EWM system needs information about the PSAs to find out the correct storage bin for staging the products, depending on the following:
Product number
Party entitled to dispose
PSA itself
You can create a PSA manually in the EWM system.
You can replicate existing PSAs from the ERP system to the EWM system.
One storage bin can be used by multiple PSAs.
One PSA can have multiple storage bins.
You can assign multiple PSAs to a storage bin.
You can assign a storage bin to a combination of PSA, party entitled to dispose, and product, or to a combination of PSA and party entitled to dispose.
Stock counting in the PSA is possible.
A PSA is displayed in the stock overview of the warehouse monitor.
The production supervisor can display the stock of a particular PSA.
