Material Staging of Components with WM & HUM

Use

You use this function if you want to carry out material

staging of production order components with handling
units in conjunction with warehouse management (WM).

The general procedure is as follows: You create a

production order and release it. For requirements
coverage, WM creates a pick request from which you can
create a transfer order. The execution of the transfer order
results in the components that are managed in HUs at the
storage location, being withdrawn and made available for
production. Finally you post the goods issue. Depending
on your organizational structure you can either use an
outbound delivery or a transfer requirement as a picking
document.

For more information, refer to the Warehouse

Management component.

Prerequisites

The following conditions must be fulfilled:

  The issue storage location must be HU and WM-
managed.
 The components must not require backflushing.

You have the following controlling options:

 In the production scheduling profile (Customizing

for Shop Floor Control, under Master data  Define
production scheduling profile) you decide with the GR
via deliveryindicator, whether the goods issue should
be posted via the delivery or the production order.
 You can decide how the pick document is created
(using outbound delivery or transfer requirement).
