Accessing the Pull List 

Purpose

This procedure describes the entries required and the different possibilities available for accessing the pull list. The aim is to select the requirements that exist at a particular time.

Process flow

  1. Starting from the main Repetitive Manufacturing menu, access the pull list by selecting the menu path Material staging ® Pull list - trigger replenishment.

    2. Alternatively, you can access the list in the main menu of Production Control, under Goods movements.

  2. Now restrict the scope of the selection by choosing the staging type (for example, you can predetermine that only KANBAN parts are to be staged).

    3. The system now selects using these parts.

  3. Then enter the plant.
  4. Now define up to which date you want the system to display component requirements.
  5. Using the tab pages in the initial screen of the pull list, you now choose whether you want to select using planned orders or production/process orders or using both order types. Alternatively, you can choose to enter directly with BOM explosion (only displays requirements for a planned order that is created in simulation and exploded directly in the pull list).

    6. Only the relevant fields are displayed in the tab pages.

  6. Enter the selection criteria for the requirements selection you want to use to access the pull list, that is, according to which the system is to select the component requirements. The system then lists the main possibilities.

Selection by order

By selecting by assembly, you select all dependent requirements which exist for this assembly.

Here, the system selects all requirements that exist for the selected sales order.

In this way, you can select the requirements for all planned orders assigned to a specific MRP controller.

Here you select all requirements for a specific run schedule header.

Here you select all requirements for a specific production order.

Here you select all requirements for a specific planned order.

In this way, you can select all the requirements which exist for this production line. That is, the requirements of all the orders which are assigned to this line.

Selection by requirement

In this case the system only displays requirements for the component you select.
  1. If necessary, limit your selection using the Global settings. Here, you have the choice between:

For example, you may choose to display components with missing quantities only in the pull list or, using the indicator Take all requirements into account, you may define that the system is to include the requirements of all orders that influence the missing parts situation. If this field is not selected, the system only includes requirements for the specific order that you entered in the missing parts calculation. Here, you can also define whether your components are staged at storage location level via direct stock transfer, or using stock transfer reservation.

Here, you define which procedures are to be carried out automatically in the pull list and which are to be carried out in dialog mode. For more information, see: Dialog Control.

You also define whether the system is to save a complete log of all the messages and whether this log is to be displayed automatically.

Here, you make the settings for the print list. For more information here, please refer to Controlling the Print Procedure.
  1. Now access the pull list by choosing Execute.

Result

The missing parts corresponding to your selection are displayed in the pull list. Replenishment elements can now be created for these missing parts.

The pull list is displayed in various views depending on whether the components are staged using KANBAN, WM, direct stock transfer or stock transfer reservation. That is, there is a display for each replenishment variant.

If you have made no user-specific settings regarding the order of the individual columns in the pull list, they are displayed in the default order. The data is displayed in order of importance.

Any user-specific data you enter, or administrator settings that you save, are specific to the view. You must make settings for each view. You can, however, still switch to the default settings for any session, as required.
