2step picking for Material staging

Hi All,
We are thinking of implementing 2 step picking for Material staging process (Production area). Please share the overview in terms of how different it is (customization settings/process flow) for material staging process as against the picking for deliveries.

Ramachandra DN

Hi,
Just some ideas:
1. Users should create production orders with same parameters (order type, organisational level, etc), materials, etc...
- if it works for both of them then the problem might be that they use different parameters during their normal works...
- if it works for only one of them the problem is likely user-dependent... You can try it with other users...
2. Are you using immediate TO creation?
If yes, please read note 566090. This note explains how it works and also suggests the use of mail control >>> you will get message via mail why it doesn't work...
3. If you are using auto TO creation...
...system creates the TOs from the TRs via report RLAUTA10. This should be run as background job. I don't think you use this since you mentioned that the TO is created immediately from the TR.
However, if you use this, some development should work, and I think you should check the development and the paraemters of thie mentioned report (why it works in user-dependent way)...

4. The issue might be authorization related, see point 1.

Rounding Profile for Material Staging

To All
Is it possible to use a rounding profile for materials used in material staging transaction LP12?
Currently it totals production order demands. e.g.
Prod Order 1000000
Material A
Requirement 0.6kg
Prod Order 1000001
Material A
Requirement 0.7kg
So quantity to be staged to the PSA is shown as 1.3kg.
I know I can manually overide the quantity and enter 2 kg and process. However, how can I get LP12 to 'round up' the total quantity so that the screen diplays 2 kg to process instead of manually entering it?
Do I use the Rounding Profile in MRP1?

Rounding Profile is used to define the quantity of the planned orders during MRP run. It's not related to staging.
I wonder if you can use some different strategy in the control cycle : "2" crate parts and this can solve your issue...
But if you can work wtih cummulative quantities from released order, there is no solution in the standard.
Another option to explore is the HU (handling units) .

Incorrect Language picked for Material Description

Hello,
While creating an order from VA01, under the line items, we are entering a material which has a description maintained in two languages - Chinese and English. We choose the F4 help to get the list of languages. We are selecting English and clicking on ok. But the text appears in Chinese on the VA01 screen although we have selected English.
What could the problem be? We want the text to appear in English when we choose the English description.
Thanks and Regards,
Reena

Hi Reena,
Please check this and update
The system determines the language of the material description in VA01
in three steps (FV45PF0M_MAAPV_SELECT):
DA_SPRAS = KUAGV-SPRAS.            <= comm. language of sold-to
IF DA_SPRAS = SPACE.
    DA_SPRAS = TVKO_SADR-SPRAS.      <= language of sales organization
ENDIF.
IF DA_SPRAS = SPACE.
    DA_SPRAS = SY-LANGU.             <= logon language
ENDIF.
So , you first take the sold-to party language and if a description
of the material exists in this language, you get the material
description in that language.
If no material description is maintained for the sold-to party lang.
the system will use the language of the sales organisation.
If no sales organisation language is maintained, the system will
lastly use the login language.

Material Staging for Production

Hi,
When WM is implemented, is it really necessary to use Production supply area and Control Cycle? or only Interim storage area 100 is sufficient? We are not using any KANBAN features,,

Shrinivas

When WM is implemented, is it really necessary to use Production supply area and Control Cycle? or only Interim storage area 100 is sufficient? We are not using any KANBAN features,,
1.
If you use WM/PP interface, you use interim storage type 100 for material staging. In this case production supply area is a must.
In this scenario you move the pick parts to the interim storage type (100) by processing the TR that is created at the time of PrdOrd release (e.g.).
Please notice that no IM movement is posted at that time. When you get the parts in interim storage type you post IM-mvt 261 and consume the components (so, first WM movements and after that comes IM movmement). Storage type 100 behaves like an interim storage type.
2.
If you don't use WM/PP interface you use interim storage type 914. First you post IM-mvt 261 and after that processing the TR (that is created as a consequence of IM booking) you will get the TO and move the parts from normal storage type to 914.
So, in this case WM movements come after IM movement.

Material staging during Process Order..TR issue

Hello,
For creating a TO I am going to transaction LB13 for a Process Order but I am not able to see the TR.
When I went in the Process Order and manually clicked WM staging I found that there is an error as mentioned below. The problem is it is an issue for only some Process Order as most of the other Process Orders are getting the WM staging(TR created automatically) and I can see in the LB13.
Can you tell me based on the error what the issue would be.
Is it something to do with the config in Production Scheduler Profile for TR creation?
No picking request was generated for operation 0020 due to incompleteness
Message no. LP133
Diagnosis
The pick requirement created for the pick parts ( material staging indicator "1") is incomplete. Errors occurred while the system was staging goods for WM. Therefore, the system could not convert all the relevant components into pick requirements. For this reason, no pick requests were created since material staging of only part of the components would cause problems in production.
Let me know ASAP
Thanks
SAP Fans...

Hi,
For the operation 0020 check what is the resource used. Now check what is the supply area you have maintained for that resource or in material master.
use transaction LPK3 and check out the control cycle set-up. the staging indicator should be 1.
Also check the component screen of the process order and make sure the storage location is the same that is used in production supply area.
Also make sure the material has been correctly assigned to that operation for which you are getting issue.
Once you do these changes....you might have to create a new order to test this.
Try and revert back.

Material Staging for Pick part from MF60

Hi,
I would like to do material staging for a Pick part from MF60.
During staging I get the error as
WM material staging for production order reservation not possible
Message no. RMPU311
Kindly can you tell me how is it possible to perform tthis action using MF60.
Using LP10 I am able to perform this staging for pick part. But Business requires to perform if from MF60.
Thank You

HI,
It is possible to do staging for pick parts using MF60.
I am setting up this for a plant, and the existing plants are able to do staging with MF60 for Pick Parts.
Do you know the configuration that are required for doing staging using Pull List..

Material staging indicator not populating in prod order WM pick list item

Hello,
I have an issue with material staging in an prod order
1) PP-WM interface is activated
2) Control cycle for material is created
3) Production storage location is created for material
4) storage type is 100 for production
5) There is one discontinued material and also the follow up material
6) stock of discontinued material is zero and requirement are passed to follow up material
When we confirm the order the stagging indicator for both follow up material as well as discontinued material automatically populates zero (Non relevence to pick list items) where as it should be one (1 - for pick list items).
One more issue user has manually inserted discontinued material as well as follow up material in production order change mode.
In the BOM of a main material both discontinued as well as follow up material is there with some quantity as a component.
For the same work center, control cycle , production storage location the indicator is populating.
These two material (discontinued as well as follow up) are appearing twice in the WM pick list screen where first two line items are OK and populating indicator "1". But in line item last and second last indicator is not there.
My question is why the stagging indicator is not automatically populating in the production order WM pick list screen in front of components.

Unfortunately, WM material staging via production orders is not possible
from the pull list. Please see the long text of message RMPU 311
(WM material staging for production order reservation not possible):
"You cannot carry out a WM material provision for pick parts from
production order reservations in the pull list". The reasons for this
are cleary explained in the SAP on-line documentation via the
following path :
Logistics -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management Guide ->
Goods Issue -> Goods Issue for Production Supply ->
Material Staging for Repetitive Manufacturing
See the following under the Selection heading :
The choice of the selection type influences which types of WM material
staging are supported in the pull list. However, the pick parts can be
staged via RS headers/planned orders but not with the current BOM
explosion. The release order parts, on the other hand, can also be
staged if the current BOM is used for calculating the dependent
requirements.
WM material staging via production orders is not possible from the pull
list.
I think you may try in CO02 or COR2 for production order or process order.

WM Material Staging for Production Order

Hi,
In the process order txn Cor3, Go to > List > WM pick list> the initial screen is Display WM Material Staging for Production Order. In the All parts tab, could you please help me on how to be able to populate the fields in the BSI, Category and Storage Bin. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Dear Ellen,
If you set the cursor on 'BSI' field and push F1 you'll get an explanation about the meaning of each category.
'"<i>1" pick list item
This materials are picked according to the required quantity specified in the production order.
'2': Crate or kanban parts
These materials are always removed from the warehouse in full cases. These can be ordered, for example, as soon as a case of needed parts is emptied in production.
'3': Release order parts
Release order parts are scheduled individually and the quantities are supplied manually to replenishment storage bins based on the requirements of production orders and the stock levels in the scheduled production supply areas.
"0" not relevant to WM-PP
These materials are not relevant for WM production supply and cannot be requested using the WM system.</i>'
For instance:
You can set raw materials / SFG as pick parts if warehouse workers have to collect those parts from high racks (from different places) and they have to provide an exact qty for the PrdOrd.
We use '4' (manual staging) for huge alu rolls that are near the machine and WH workers have nothing to do with it - the operators, who deal with the machine, have to put the new rolls on it.
When we issue the PrdOrd the requirements of this material won't appear in LB10 since WH has nothing to do with them.
'Storage bin' filed will contain a value automatically, if your settings are proper.
E.g. you have to define the default 'stock removal' & 'stock placement' storage type on WM view of material master.
Additionally you have to define control cycles for materials you use for your production. (LPK1)
The control cycle says from which storage type & bin you want to consume the components.

Best practice - material staging for production order

Hi Experts,
could any of You pls, support me with some hints of best practice how to handle material staging WM-PP interface in a certain case?
Up till now we had a system, where production had no separate location in IM, but one location existed including raw material wh and production. In the same time in WM we had separate storage types for production and raw materials u2013 hence we did material staging transferring goods only inside one IM location between different WM storage types. The material staging should be done based on separate prd. orders.
Now this need to be changed and separate location need to be handled in IM for production u2013 which means the staging should be done between different IM locations and WM administration also need to be handled.
Up till now we used LP10 for staging, then LB13 for TO creation etc. We can keep going like that, but if do so, there is another step required in IM u2013 movement 311, where material numbers and qty need to be added manually to finish the whole procedure. I would like to avoid this u2013 which makes the administrational procedure quite long.
I have been checking the following possibilities:
1.     Set released order parts-staging at control cycle and use MF60 for staging u2013 but I can not select requirements based on pro ordders here (only able to find demand if component including into selection)
2.     Two step transfer 313/315 u2013 but this not a supported procedure u2013 313 TI /TO / 315
3.     Try to find solution how to create 311 movement based on TO or based on WM stock at certain storage type / dynamic bin.
I have failed.
So, could any of You pls, support me with some useful ideas, how to handle material staging where 311 included and definetly the last step of procedure, but administrator does not need to enter items manually one by one in MIGO.
All answers will be appreciated

Hi,
Storage location control should be able to take care of your problem.
If you want to stage the material to a different IM location then the WM location then make the following settings
If location xxxx is your WM location and location yyyy is your Production location.
You have defined Production storage type ZZZ for production storage location YYYY and have maintained the supply area for the same
In WM configuration - For interfaces - IM interface-Control of Assignment "Plant / Stor.Loc. - Whse Number"
Assign location XXXX as the Standard Location. Maintain entry donot copy sloc in TR for location YYYY
In WM configuration - For interfaces - IM interface- Storage Location control for WH
This entry ensures that there will be a WM tarnsfer Posting between your WM and Production storage Location automatically when you confirm your TO. You can have this done via a btach job also if you want cumulative posting. (schedule job RLLQ0100)

Automate WM material staging for release order parts.

Hi all,
We use LP12 for monitoring WM Material Staging of Release Order parts.Is there a way to automate the process of WM Material Staging for Release Order parts?
Is there is any Standard SAP Program which can be run in the background or user exit to achieve this?
Pl suggest
Regards
SB

Hi Arunachalam,
You can configure WM staging settings in Production Scheduling Profile (OPKP)
You need to update WM Request field and the available options are:
     No creation of transfer requirements on order release
X   Only creation of transfer requirements on release
1   Transfer requirement and transfer order on release
Hope this will solve your problem.
Please check and Revert.

Material staging for process order

Dear All,
Can we use material staging for process orders.
If possible pls brief the procedure.
Subbu.

Using warehouse management /WM) :
- Create a control cycle for the component, using LPK1. Here you define if the supply will be specific for the order (when weighing takes place in the warehouse) or for released orders (normallu full packages of components and weighing is done at plant level). Reference to a supply area.
- The resource used in the operation has a reference to the supply area.
- Components have material master views in WM for the selected storage type
Then, when releasing the orders run LP10 - LP12 to generate the Transfer requirements for the raw materials. These TR will be converted to Transfer Orders and Confirmed, so the stock will be moved to your supply area.
Using Inventory Management, none of the above is required. You can use MF60 to move materials from General Storage Location to Shop Floor SLoc.

Material Staging for manufactoring order

Dear experts,
I have following scenario:
The Source - Storage and the Production Supply Area are assigned to the same Storage Location.
When performing material staging for an manufacturing order, how can I AVOID that the stoch in the PSA will be considered as availible stock?
Thank you very much in advance.
BR
Denis

Dear Freddy,
It is the standard SAP behaviour,if already reservation exists for the same material and same storage location the system will
not propose anything to stage,instead I would suggest you to mention some other differents torage location for the second
production order for the same component and then check what is the result in MF60.
Either you clear the existing stock transfer reservation or else meniton a different storage location for the second order and
check.
Check and revert back with your findings.

Material Staging for Production Order

Hi,
I am doing Material Staging against production Order using T Code MF60. We don't have WM setup in the enterprise structure so the Staging is done via IM Mvmt. Type 311. My problem is that the material document created using MF60 does not have a reference of Production order or vise versa. Can anyone suggest a configuration or a user exit that can be used to make a reference link between the Production Order and the Staging Document?
Thanks
Arvind

Hi!,
Though whatever you are asking for is not possible with standard SAP but you can try this work around solution:
Click on replenishment element.
Now in MF60 Menu > View > Table column > Select " All Column" (after clicking ).
Now system will show some open fields (like Goods recipient, unloading point etc) on replen. element.
There in one of the field like unloading point (which you are not using elsewhere) you can enter the production order number so when you stage the same that order number will be saved in that document and you can get it from RESB table against the reservation number.
To automate the same you can use some enhancement with above logic.
I hope this helps in resolving your problem.
regards,
Uday

Material staging only for released prod order parts

Hi Experts,
Could any of You pls help me to set material staging only for components of released production orders?
There is a PP-WM integrated system, where we have mat.staging indicator 3 in control cycle, and run MF60 for WMreleased order parts. Here all CRTD and REL prod order components are listed. But I would like to change it: only REL prod order parts should be seen and replenished.
Could You pls let me know, how to do that?
Answers will be apprecited

Eshwer,
If a material has its own production order then it should be closed ,Closed in the sense you have to do theVariance Calculation,Order Settlement & finally Close the order
So irrespective of whether the material is of FERT or HALB type,each production order need to be closed
Closing the FERT order will not suffice ,It will not take care of the HALB order
Order Settlement
When a production order is settled, the actual costs incurred for the order are settled to one or more receiver cost-objects (for example, to the account for the material produced or to a sales order). Offsetting entries are generated automatically to credit the production order:
If the costs for the production order are settled to a material account, the order is credited each time material is delivered to stock. The material stock account is debited accordingly.
If the costs for the production order are settled to another receiver (for example to a sales order), the order is credited automatically at the time of settlement. The cost-objects are debited accordingly.
Closing a Production Order
The Closed (CLSD) status has been introduced in the production order. It has the following characteristics:
No more costs can be posted to the order, that is, confirmations and goods movements are no longer permitted for the orderThe order can no longer be changed. Exceptions to this are revoking the CLSD status and setting the deletion flag.
All actions relating to the status technically completed (TECO) are executed.
In a collective order, the CLSD status is also set for subordinate orders.
If the system comes across an order in the collective order that cannot be closed, the orders that come between this order and the leading order are also not closed. Other subtrees are closed if they only contain orders that can be closed.
So for the above reasons all the individual orders need to be closed
Hope the above is clear
Reward points if useful

Material staging time in Schedule line of Sales order for GATP material

Hi Experts,
In a sales order for a material on GATP, there is time 23:57 coming as material staging time.
Can any body explain how is this time calculated.
For the shipping point there is no working time maintained.
