Goods Receipt from Production

Use

Via the WM-PP interface, you can place goods from production immediately into your WM-managed warehouse. In doing so, the system posts a goods receipt in Inventory Management (MM-IM) for the finished material on confirmation of the production order, and creates a quant in the WM-managed warehouse in the interim storage area for goods receipts from production.

Prerequisites

The WM-PP interface is active .

Features

Automatic Goods Receipt

You can define in the production order, via the control key of an activity, that the system automatically posts the goods receipt of the finished material in the WM-managed warehouse on confirmation of the activity. Posting then also occurs on partial confirmation.

You activate automatic goods receipt in the production control key by setting the indicator Automatic Goods Receipt. Retrograde consumption posting of the staged components occurs on confirmation of the production order, and the system automatically creates a transfer order for putaway.

Manual Goods Receipt

You can trigger the goods issue of the finished goods manually. In doing so, you post a goods receipt for a production order in Inventory Management.

Note Note

In the standard system, you use the IM movement type 101 for goods receipts from production. WMS movements type 103 is assigned to this IM movement type in the standard system.

End of the note.

With this movement type, the finished material is placed in the interim storage type 901 in the WM-managed warehouse with the GI posting. The system generates a posting change notice. You create a transfer order (TO) in the WMS for the putaway, based on the TR.

Putting Away Handing Units (HUs) from Production

You can also implement the WM-PP interface in connection with Handling Unit Management . You put away goods finished in production into your HU-managed storage location in the form of handling units after confirmation of the production order.

Caution Caution

Note that if the HU number for the material to be put away is not yet known, the system creates an inbound delivery for a posting change from storage location to storage location during the GI posting in Inventory Management .

If the HU number for the material to be put away is known, the system does not create an inbound delivery, but rather a material document for the stock transfer from storage location to storage location.

End of the caution.

You can put away a HU in a WM-managed storage location in the following ways:

  • If you know the HU number , choose Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Logistics Execution Next navigation step Internal Whse Processes Next navigation step Stock Transfer Next navigation step Create Stock Transfer Order Next navigation step Move Storage Unit End of the navigation path in the SAP menu.

  • Choose Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Logistics Execution Next navigation step Internal Whse Processes Next navigation step Stock Transfer Next navigation step Create Stock Transfer Order Next navigation step From Stock List End of the navigation path from the SAP menu, and choose the corresponding storage type (for example, 901 - GR Area for Production).

Select the stock transfer view Storage unit on the initial screen.

  • Activate direct TO creation for GI posting in Inventory Management , by setting the indicator Immediate TO Creation to A for the corresponding movement type in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Interfaces Next navigation step Inventory Management Next navigation step Define Movement Types Next navigation step LE-WM Interface to Inventory Management. End of the navigation path

If you set the indicator Mail Control for Background Processing for the movement type, the system sends a mail if an error occurs.

If you have set up the system accordingly, it does not take the entry in the column TR Create Transfer Requirement into account.
