Group-to-Group Goods Issue
A group-to-group goods issue is when your business processes make goods issues where the sub-component replenishment belongs to one grouping work breakdown structure (WBS) element, the production order belongs to another grouping WBS element, and you make direct goods issues across groups. This type of goods issue is performed using standard goods issues transactions.
Prerequisites
To make such a goods issue, you have already defined the correct nested grouping hierarchies by executing transaction GRM4 .
Note
You have the following groups:
Group A
Group X
You also have material ABC, and you group all requirements of material ABC under group A. Material ABC is a produced part, and it needs steel cable as a sub-component. You group requirements for all steel cable under group X. Then you perform goods issues of steel cable from the stock of group X to production orders of material ABC in group A.
Implications of Group-to-Group Goods Issues on Pegging
You can choose to run pegging independently for the two grouping WBS elements, but the order becomes important. If you choose to run pegging for the two groups independently, then you must first run pegging for the group that contains the higher level replenishment object, followed by the pegging run for the group that contains the lower level replenishment object.
Your independent pegging runs of nested groups must follow the hierarchy of the bill of material (BOM) structure top down. You must first run pegging for the group with the higher level replenishment object and then for the group with the lower level replenishment object. If you do not follow this order, your pegging is incomplete, and you will not get the correct pegging results. If you run pegging for both the grouping WBS elements together, the pegging sequence is not relevant.
You do not need to run the transfer pegging program if your business process meets one of the following criteria:
No group-to-group transfers of parts with sub-components
Only group-to-group goods issues
If your business process requires that both the grouping WBS elements have sub-components for each other, then you must run pegging for both the grouping WBS elements together. In this case, you cannot run pegging for the grouping WBS elements independently.
