Use
You can support material staging for production through the decentralized Warehouse Management System (WMS), irrespective of the WM-PP interface, which is not available in this independent scenario from the Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP system).
Integration
The leading ERP system communicates planned goods movements to the decentralized WMS through deliveries. Accordingly, the ERP system creates deliveries for
production orders which the decentralized WMS processes and afterwards confirms back to the central ERP system.
Prerequisites
The master data of the ERP system has been transmitted to the WMS using the distribution model. In this way you have the basis in the decentralized WMS to be able to process subsequent deliveries from the central system and confirm them. (see also
Setting up the Decentralized Warehouse Management System).Features
If the decentralized warehouse is responsible for production supply, two types of material staging are supported.
In the decentralized WMS, you can also process
goods receipts for production orders.
