Pick Part

Definition

Material that you stage for a production order in the required quantity in a fixed storage bin in production or in a dynamic production storage bin.

Use

Using pick parts, you ensure material staging from the warehouse to production, based purely on the production order. You stage the quantity of the material requested in the production order with a direct reference to the production order. You can stage the material in a fixed storage bin in production or in a dynamic storage bin "production order".

For this type of material staging, you can create transfer requirements (TRs) in two different ways:

  • Create the TR automatically when the production order is released

These transfer requirements are always based on the quantity required in the production order and the production deadlines.

Set the indicator WM Request accordingly in the Production Control Profile in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Interfaces Next navigation step Define Production Next navigation step Define Control Data Next navigation step Production View. End of the navigation path

  • Create the TR for the production order manually .

In both PP and the WMS, you can create transfer requirements for pick parts that are needed in various quantities and at different times for a specific production order. For more information, refer to Creating Transfer Requirements Manually for Material Staging .

Note Note

The requirement tracking number for pick parts is the production order number. If the production order number consists of more than 10 digits, the system shortens the requirement number right to left.

Confirmation of Batches

For pick parts, you can confirm batches, issued by the WMS for a production order, to the production order:

  • If you use dynamic production storage bins, confirmation occurs automatically because the system assigns the batches to the production orders.

  • If you use fixed storage bins for staging pick parts for production, there is no definitive assignment between the production order and the batch found. You use fixed storage bins for several production orders. In this case, specify that you want to implement batch confirmation in the field Batch Entry in the material master, view MRP 2.

Note Note

The system does not support confirmation of batches for quantity reduction .

Material Staging via Deliveries

As an alternative to transfer requirements, you can also use deliveries to execute the material staging of pick parts. To do this, set the indicator GI via Delivery in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Interfaces Next navigation step Define Production Next navigation step Define Control Data Next navigation step in the production control profile. End of the navigation path

Note Note

You must enter the Delivery Type and the Goods Recipient of the delivery in Customizing. We recommend using delivery type WMPP in the standard system.

You must enter the Sales View in the material master and enter the General Item Category Group (for example WMPP ) in the view Basic Data 1.

End of the note.

When you confirm the transfer order, the system sets the status of the delivery to Completely processed , depending on the shipping control at movement type level. The system also posts the consumption of the staged components.
