Automatic Material Staging

Use

The system automatically requests all of thepick parts for

a production order as soon as you release the order in
production.

Prerequisites

The WM-PP is active .

If you have defined a production scheduling profile and set

the indicator WM Request in the profile, the system
automatically creates transfer orders for material staging
in the background. You have also assigned the production
scheduling profile to the finished product in the material
master of this product, in the view Work Scheduling.

If you have set the indicator Automatic TO for the WMS

movement type in the Customizing forWarehouse
Management under Activities Transfers Define
Movement Types , the system automatically creates
transfer orders for the transfer requirements.

Note

Automatic material staging is active in the standard

system.

In order to ensure that the system only creates transfer

orders for material staging for the total number of items in
the transfer requirement, you have set the
indicator Complete material staging in the Customizing
for Warehouse Management under Interfaces Define
Production Define Control Data Warehouse
Management view Warehouse number , .

Features

Material Staging via Transfer Requirements

On release of production orders, the system creates

transfer requirements for the corresponding pick parts
and, in doing so, transfers the quantity required for the
production order as a default quantity in the transfer
requirement.

Note

This also happens if the required material in the

warehouse is only partly available, or not available at all. It
is possible that the system creates transfer orders
automatically for the TRs, even though there is not enough
material available in the warehouse.

Customer exit MWMPP001 is available for automatic

transfer requirement creation. You use this exit to
automate transfer requirement creation during WM staging
for production orders, according to your own requirements.

If you activate automatic transfer order creation in the

production scheduling profile, the system automatically
creates transfer orders for the transfer requirements in the
background.

For automatic staging for pick parts in a fixed storage bin

in production, automatic quantity reduction takes place.
During transfer order creation, the system checks whether
the required material is available in the production storage
bin.

The system gets the available stock from the stock of the
component still in the production storage bin and not
reserved for other production orders. The system reduces
the quantity requested in the transfer requirement to the
quantity of the component available in the production fixed
bin. The system reduces the quantity requested in the
transfer requirement to the quantity of the component
available in the production fixed bin.

If there is adequate available stock of the component in

the production fixed bin, the system sets the relevant
transfer order to completed, without creating a transfer
order.

Note

To improve system performance, we recommend

deactivating quantity reduction in those areas where you
do not want it to occur. You can deactivate automatic
quantity reduction in the Customizing for Warehouse
Managementunder Interfaces Define
Production Define Control Data Warehouse
Management view Storage type.

Material Staging via Deliveries

If you set the indicator GI via delivery in the Customizing

for Warehouse Managementunder Interfaces Define
Production Define control data Production
view, the system creates a delivery for the production
order. In this case, the delivery is the reference document
for the activities in the Warehouse Mangement system.
