Inventory ID
A unique identifier representing a specific instance of material that is consumed during the assembly of the material in the manufacturing process
The inventory ID is a key record for genealogy. It is created when a specific instance of manufactured material completes its manufacturing process. Additionally, an inventory ID is created when a specific instance of material is received on the shop floor for component consumption. The inventory
IDs are created through SAP ME ERP integration or manually by shop floor personnel. The format of inventory ID uses the Floor Stock Receipt Number
type for a material in Next Number Maintenance
. The inventory ID data fields are members of a
default assembly data type ERP_INV_RCPT_DATA
. The following key fields are required for SAP ME ERP integration: MAT_DOC_YEAR
, MAT_DOC_NUM
, and LINE_NUM
(see Floor
Stock Receipt).
Structure

Integration
You edit inventory IDs using Maintain Floor Stock

SAP ME ERP Integration
When material is issued and reserved in SAP ERP to a specific production order, the material document is reported to SAP ME and received as reserved components for a production order or shop order. During assembly of these components, validation occurs to ensure that the material is reserved for an SFC number in the specified production order or shop order.
