Object documentationProduction Supply Area (PSA)

 

An area in production or in the warehouse where products are staged or withdrawn.

To stage products for a manufacturing order, a warehouse must know where it has to take the products. For manufacturing orders in the SAP ERP system, the PSA contains this information.

A PSA usually contains one or more storage bins where you can stage the products of a manufacturing order. For this reason, the SAP 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

Structure

  • You can create a PSA manually in the SAP EWM system.

  • You can replicate existing PSAs from the SAP ERP system to the SAP 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.
