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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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)

Material Code for Process Order Settlement document

HI,
When Process Order to a material having Standard Price is settled, the following entry is passed.
Inventory Change A/C Debit/Credit
Price difference A/C Debit/Credit
It is being obeserved that in the line item of FI document for the Inventory Change the material code appears in the Price difference line items whereas for Inventory Change line item the material code does not appear.
I want to know why this happens ?

Material reservation for process order

Dear PP experts,
We convert planned order to process order. Whenever a process order is created components in the process order get reserved, i.e. automatic reservation is created for the components in the process order.
Is it possible to exclude a selected material or a selected material type to avoid getting eserved whenever a process order is created?
Regards,
Prashant

Hi
Yes you can do that, go to material master of the material MRP 2 view and tick the Bulk Material check box so it will automatically set in the BOM item. So it will not create reservations.
If you want this same for material type you can use BULK material type.
Prerequisites:
Therefore planning for bulk materials should be consumption-based.
If bulk materials are subject to material requirements planning, you must create planned independent requirements for them.

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..

GR Cost not updating as Target Cost for process orders

Dear SAPians,
We are facing an issue in Target Vs Actual cost reporting for process orders. We are creating a process order after cost estimate of that material and doing the confirmations for activity cost. After that, GR has been done for the finished goods of that process order. That GR entry is updating the Actuals values but not updating the Target cost. When I am checking the standard report KKBC_ORD, I am getting the following figures.
Cost Elemnt Text     |     Target Cost     |     Actual Cost     |     Target Vs Act
Inventory Chnge FG     |     0     |     1,472,205.60-     |     1,472,205.60-
Packing Matrl Cons.     |     1,148,142.37     |     1,252,752.68     |     104,610.31
Raw Material Cons.     |     60,463.91     |     50,688.29     |     224.38
Semi-Fin Matrl Cns.     |     181,934.68     |     367,959.56     |     186,024.88
Labour Cost Activity     |     39,735.36     |     39,862.80     |     127.44
Machine Cst Activty     |     41,611.75     |     43,153.01     |     1,541.26
That 'Inventory Change FG' entry is showing the GR posting updating actuals and not target cost. This is causing huge difference in target vs actual cost that will affect the profit and loss figures ultimately.
What am I missing here? What should I do to update the GR amount in Target cost as well.
Shirazi

Dear,
Target Cost on Production Order or Process Order is shown only when Variance is Calculated.
So please calculate the Variance, system will show the Total Target Cost.

Raw Material Consumption to Process Orders

Hi Friends,
I need help with changing the way how we consume raw materials in our manufacturing organization.
Current Process:
A.     Receive product A in Warehouse, movement type 101. Debit Inventory Account, and Credit GR/IR.
B.     Move product A to a storage location (out of Warehouseu2019s custody). Movement type 311. No impact to P&L, as no accounting entries.
C.     Consume product A in a u2018Process Orderu2019 from that storage location 311. Debit Consumption Account, and Credit Inventory Account.
Product A is listed in Bill of Materials and has to be issued to process orders for final consumption u2013 to give production variance as we are on standard costing system.
Desired Process:
We want to have stronger controls in our organization. We want to hit P&L in step B, as soon as Warehouse issues items out. This can be done using movement type 201 GI for Cost Center.
But we also desire to see final consumption happening in process orders, as all our BOMs and standard costs account for the consumption of product A.
Please advice how do we issue items to a process order that have already been issued to a Cost Center. What is it that I am missing?
Thanks,
Meet A

I believe we will stick with our current process. See Ajay's reply on the link below:
Raw Material Consumption to Process Orders

Partial GR and GI for Process Orders

Hello,
I have a scenario where user want to do Partial GR and GI posting against process order using PI sheet and he can very well do this.
I want to know which SAP table will store this data. I want to prepare report which will run everyday evening and get GR and GI postings done against process done.
regards,
Parshuram

Parshuram,
You can use standard transaction MB51 for this purpose, which would give you all the material movements for an Order/orders.
If you still need to develop a report then you need to use MSEG table to extract the data. Order details can be from AUFK/AFKO/ AFPO , planned GI quantities from RESB table
