You support material staging for production supply through your warehouse that is run decentrally. The communication between the central Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP System) and the decentralized Warehouse Management System (WMS) is based on outbound deliveries that are created on the basis of production orders.

The storage location of the components for production orders is relevant for the decentralized Warehouse Management system.

1. In the central ERP System, you enter a production order and release it.
2. You post a goods issue for the production order or for the reservation.
3. On the basis of this production order, the system creates an outbound delivery that is then distributed to the decentralized Warehouse Management System.
4. The decentralized Warehouse Management System creates a transfer order for the distributed outbound delivery.
5. Using this transfer order, you can pick the required parts. In this way, the transfer order serves as a basis for the actual material staging.
6. By confirming the transfer order, you inform the system that the material staging activity is completed and that the required parts are at the interface to the production storage location.
7. With the confirmation, you post the goods issue for the outbound delivery. In this way, the system automatically transmits the confirmation of the outbound delivery with the actual staged quantities to the ERP system.
8. Together with the confirmation, Inventory Management (IM) posts the goods issue for production supply for the used materials in the central ERP system.
