Creating a Control Cycle 

The control cycle record is made up of the plant, production supply area and material and determines for the WM-PP interface the production storage bin and the type of material staging that is used. The production storage bin is defined by the whole key: warehouse number, storage type and bin.

You create control cycles by choosing Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Master Data ® Warehouse ® Production Supply ® Control Cycle Production Supply ® Create from the SAP menu.

You can also define a control cycle without specifying the material. This general entry is valid for all materials in the supply area for which no control cycle has been defined.

Displaying Control Cycles

To display a list of existing control cycles, choose Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Information System ® Warehouse ® Production Supply ® List of Ctrl Cycles from the SAP menu.

Control cycles are managed using number ranges that are established in PP. Therefore, you should ensure that number ranges have been created for control cycles before using this interface. To create number ranges for control cycles, see Kanban ® Define number range for control cycle in Customizing for Production.
