Prerequisites

The WM-PP is active .

If you have defined a production scheduling profile and set the indicator WM Request in the profile, the system automatically creates transfer orders for material staging in the background. You have also assigned the production scheduling profile to the finished product in the material master of this product, in the view Work Scheduling.

If you have set the indicator Automatic TO for the WMS movement type in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under  Activities Transfers Define Movement Types , the system automatically creates transfer orders for the transfer requirements.

In order to ensure that the system only creates transfer orders for material staging for the total number of items in the transfer requirement, you have set the indicator Complete material staging in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under  Interfaces Define Production Define Control Data Warehouse Management view Warehouse number , .

Features

Material Staging via Transfer Requirements

On release of production orders, the system creates transfer requirements for the corresponding pick parts and, in doing so, transfers the quantity required for the production order as a default quantity in the transfer requirement.

Customer exit MWMPP001 is available for automatic transfer requirement creation. You use this exit to automate transfer requirement creation during WM staging for production orders, according to your own requirements.

If you activate automatic transfer order creation in the production scheduling profile, the system automatically creates transfer orders for the transfer requirements in the background.

For automatic staging for pick parts in a fixed storage bin in production, automatic quantity reduction takes place. During transfer order creation, the system checks whether the required material is available in the production storage bin.

The system gets the available stock from the stock of the component still in the production storage bin and not reserved for other production orders. The system reduces the quantity requested in the transfer requirement to the quantity of the component available in the production fixed bin. The system reduces the quantity requested in the transfer requirement to the quantity of the component available in the production fixed bin.

If there is adequate available stock of the component in the production fixed bin, the system sets the relevant transfer order to completed, without creating a transfer order.

Material Staging via Deliveries

If you set the indicator GI via delivery in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under  Interfaces Define Production Define control data Production view, the system creates a delivery for the production order. In this case, the delivery is the reference document for the activities in the Warehouse Mangement system.
