Material Staging for Production

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.

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 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

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 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..

Staging for production

Hi All,
i would like to know the difference between automatiac staging and manual staging for production operation. What config steps are different in both scenarios?
i would like to know what settings are required in control cycle and also the usage of 100 storage type(standard).
pls throw some light on this scenario
Thanks

Hi,
From my point of view, whatever automatically or manually staging for production, the following customizing you have to do in SAP system. In SAP system call it as Replenishment Control:
Replenishment Control Customizing
Process Flow
The internal stock transfer process is at the core of all the different types of replenishment control covered in this lesson. Generally, partial stocks are moved from one storage type to another within a warehouse number. As of SAP R/3 4.6C, you can use replenishment control to supply both fixed storage bins and bins in storage types with random storage. The following programs are available in
the SAP ECC standard system:
1. Report RLLNACH1 for fixed bin replenishment based on bin stock only
2. Report RLLNACH2 for fixed bin replenishment based on bin stock and the current requirements in outbound deliveries
3. Report RLLNACH4 for replenishment in storage types with random storage
To use these programs, you first have to add some storage type specific fields in the second Warehouse Management view of the material masters of all of the affected materials. For delivery-related control, you have to enter a replenishment quantity. For replenishment control based on the bin stock alone, you have to enter a minimum and a maximum quantity (for fixed bin materials, the maximum quantity is often already specified for the quantity-based capacity check and this quantity can be used by replenishment control as well).
As well as maintaining the master data, it is also useful to create at least one new Warehouse anagement movement type for use in replenishment control. In the standard system there is already a warehouse management movement type, 320, created for replenishment. You can use movement type 319 (replenishment for production) as a template and change some of the details. In the copy, remove
interim storage type 100, the indicator for dynamic storage bin creation, the requirement type, and the GR data in quant indicator. Assign this new movement type to the storage type that needs replenishing in the Define Stock Transfers and Replenishment Control table. This table is in Customizing under Logistics Execution u2192 Warehouse Management u2192 Activities u2192 Transfers u2192 Define Stock Transfers and Replenishment Control.
If you want to make sure that the reserve storage type is always found as the picking storage type for replenishment stock transfers, you can use the Reference storage type search indicator. You assign this indicator, which creates links between Warehouse Management movement types and storage types, to your new replenishment movement type. Unlike many other indicators, you do not have to
define the indicator in a table in advance, you simply enter a numerical value between one and three digits in the Ref.Stor.Type Search field in master record of the the movement type of your choice. You then enter this value in a new entry in the storage type search table (in the Reference Storage Type Search field), with the reserve storage type in first position in the search sequence. If a stock transfer transfer order is created, controlled by your new replenishment type, the system determines this exact table entry on the basis of the indicator and removes the required quantity from the reserve storage type.
Generally, a storage type indicator for stock removal is set for the material that is picked and used for the replenishment. The indicator is set to the fixed bin storage type in the first Warehouse Management view. You can enter an indicator for the reserve storage type in the Stock placement field. The Reference
storage type search indicator separates a normal stock removal process from a replenishment stock transfer during the search for a storage type for stock removal.
Good day

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 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 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 in production with IM and WM storage locations

Hello,
I have the following situation at hand in a Client.
They use Process Orders and want to do material staging of the components.
The Production Supply área is an IM managed storage location but the storage location of the components is WM managed.
The staging should take place as pick parts (control cycle) transfering the components from the WM storage location to the IM production Storage location.
Im not sure we need to use Deliveries instead of Transfer Requirements.
Is this escenario posible and if so, how to configure it.
Thanks for any reply.
Aart

Aart,
For Transfer requirement creation for production order components WM staging please follow below steps.
1.Activate PP interface in Warehouse number control for PP interface in Logistic execution.
2.You need to assign WM replenishment movement type 319 against the production supply storage type.
3.In production scheduling profile all necessary WM TR/TO configuration to be done based on your requirement.
4.Create PSA in PK05.
5.Create Control cycle in LPK1.
6.Assign the PSA to production work centers.
With above settings once production order is released TR gets created which could be converted to TO manually or automatically for further process.

Material Withdrawal for Production

Hello all,
I'm using Pull list (MF60) to pull material for production supply Storage location.I'm not using PP-REM, but staging is a requirement in my scenario. While executing MF60 with reservation & MF65 to Goods Issue,the Goods Issue happns in one step in SAP, but physically it may take hours to transfer the material. Please suggest how to allign the physical & logical goods movement.
Please note the material is batch managed & automatic batch determination needs to be done before GI
Regards
Mahesh

Dear Friend
I faced similar issue in a chemical implementation.Do not try to develop ABAP programs to address this.Try to align the physical practices instead.I am explaining what we did.
We divided the physical storage location in two areas (Not in SAP).One area is demarketed with Green paint and called it a preparation zone.
Based on Pull list and batch determination , orderwise we used to Pull out the material and put in preparation zone.Handout printout with Batch numbers to forklift operator and he will issue to production zone at designated places.He will tick the printout against each material and batch number on printed pull list.At the end of issuance , he will handover the pull list to stores officer who will then do the PGI.If managed properly there is a time lag of 30-45 minutes between staging and PGI update.
This procedure ensures :
1.Batch and quantity is double checked (By Forklift operator).
2.The issuance and staging is at decided time.
3.You need not modify SAP programs.
This was accepted and appreciated by client.Please check this can be possible in your situation.
I hope this is of some help.
with regards
Prakash Wagh

Production order status for wm staging for production

Hi Friends,
What should be the status of production order for wm staging of raw for production.
In production order status Confirmed & delivered will I be able to do staging for the production order.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi
Material staging should be allowed following the Release of the Production Order.
Then, as an example, you could have your first operation in the order (OP10) to Consume Materials. This will then backflush the materials in the PSA (Production Supply Area) that the staged materials were taken to. Ensure that the materials are set for Backflushing in the material master in MRP2.
If the OP10 is confirmed before materials have been staged then they will not appear in the LP12 staging report.
It's all about timing

Darren

Fields to be activated from Material Master for product costing.

hi guys.
our MM person is creating BDC for uploading master data.
we have to do product costing in second phase.
what fileds we have to activate now, from accouting & costing view???
is it necessory to activate LIFO/FIFO relevancy indicator for product costing??
will it affect to inventory valuation directly???
can we actiavte the fileds afterwords???

Dear Mr.Taj,
Where's the quantity structure field in Accounting 2 view?
Do u mean which's in Costing 1 view?
<b>Dear MR.Patil,before doing cost roll up & release all the fields should be having proper values (inputs).</b>
Later on also u can activate.I mean during material creation itself if u ensure these checks,this will help you in taking the cost rollup smoothly.
Or else you have to correct those errors at the time of costing.
If useful reward points.
Regards

Plant specific fields in the material master for product move

Hi, SAP gurus,
My scenario is we are moving a existing product in US plant to Brazil plant. What are the fields in the material master that are specific to a plant that will change. For ex MRP controller will change from plant to plant. Like that can anybody please provide me a list of fields that i need to be looking at?
Thank you
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
First of all, list down all your materials those you want to extend to new plant.
a) Secondly, pay attention to those fields you will find "filled" in those materials at plant level.
b) MARC comes handy for you to analyse which fields are at plant level.
Intersection of fields with values between a and b are the ones you need to work out.
Good luck,
Regards
