Process documentationWithdrawal to Cost Center

 

You can procure bulk material that is not backflushed via kanban. Bulk material is loose material that cannot be directly assigned to an assembly. For this reason you must post the costs relating to a bulk material to cost center as material overhead costs . See also: Procurement and Withdrawal to Cost Center

Example Example

If you use lubricant in production, you cannot directly assign the quantity needed to an assembly. In this case, the lubricant is a bulk material that is posted to cost center.

End of the example.

You can use all replenishment strategies to procure further supplies of the bulk material.

Prerequisites

  • In Customizing for Logistics Execution, under Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Integration Next navigation step Production Planning and Control Next navigation step Define Determination of Delivery Type End of the navigation path, you have made the following setting:

    • Process: Goods issue from Kanban for cost center

    • Delivery Type: DOG

  • In Customizing for Kanban, under Replenishment Strategies, you have made the setting Withdrawal to Cost Center against the desired Replenishment Strategy in the Consumption of Kanban Material for Cost Center field.

  • You have created a production supply area and specified the production storage location there. This storage location must be EWM-managed.

  • You have created kanban control cycle.

Process

  1. You set the kanban to Empty on the kanban board.

  2. The ERP system posts the goods issue of the bulk material to the cost center.

  3. The ERP system creates a delivery with reference to the cost center of the production supply area as a new replenishment element.

  4. This delivery is automatically replicated in the EWM system and created there as an outbound delivery request.

  5. The EWM system activates this outbound delivery request and generates an outbound delivery order from it.

  6. In the EWM system, you use the transaction Maintain Outbound Delivery Order /SCWM/PRDO to search for the outbound delivery order and check it. To invoke the transaction, in the EWM system, choose Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Delivery Processing Next navigation step Outbound Delivery Next navigation step Maintain Outbound Delivery Order End of the navigation path.

  7. You create a warehouse task for the outbound delivery order in the same transaction.

  8. You confirm the warehouse task in the same transaction.

  9. You post the goods issue in the transaction /SCWM/PRDO Maintain Outbound Delivery Order.

  10. The EWM system reports the goods movement to the ERP system.

  11. The ERP system generates a Material Document, which replaces the Delivery. You can display the document in the Kanban Information.

  12. You set the kanban container to Full.

  13. The ERP system posts the goods receipt of the bulk material to the storage location of the production supply area.
