Using the Assembly Point and As-Built Configuration activities, operators can reference components by inventory ID. You can add components to floor stock in one of the following ways:
Automatically, for components you manufacture
Manually, for purchased components
Through ERP integration, for purchased components or material manufactured at a different physical location
Use the method you think is most appropriate for your production environment.
The system can automatically place the SFC numbers you manufacture into floor stock as they successfully complete production. The SFC number becomes the inventory ID of the material.
To add SFC numbers to floor stock when they reach the end of their production routing, proceed as follows:
In System Rule Maintenance, set the Track Inventory system rule to true (see Production Tracking Rules).
When you define the component in Material Maintenance, select either of the following values in the Type field:
Manufactured/Purchased
Manufactured
Operators can use Floor Stock Receipt activity to receive purchased components into inventory (see Floor Stock Receipt).
To add purchased components to floor stock, set up the SAPMEINT component to import floor stock records into the system.
