Booking Stock in warehouse

[Former Member]

Hello All

We have just implemented SAP B1 in our Factory.

We manufacture different Plastic Products on 25 different machines.

Our Real time manufacturing system is not linked with SAP system.

We regularly manufacture parts that are used in BOM of other product, Just  to make it clear we may manufacture Cap of a bottle.

So if we are manufacturing cap on machine 1 and manufacturing bottle on machine 2, surely it would make sense to take the cap form machine 1 fit to the bottle and send the finished goods to the warehouse.

If we do this the warehouse will not be able to accept this goods because there are no CAPS on the shopfloor so how can we fit on the bottle.

What we have to do currently is make the caps send it warehouse and then recall the caps back form the warehouse and then use it on the bottles.

This is waste of time and labour.

I am sure SAP is capable of more than this.

Can you GURU's please suggest a solution to this.

Thanking You

Cap should have its own BOM, bottle should have its own BOM, and a finished bottle should have its own BOM  = cap + bottle.

I think what u r looking for is some kind of automation to help u to reduce manual transactions once conditions are met, such as auto assemble finished bottle based on cap and bottle, etc.

I've done this many times, u can contact me about it. wangzhaoye@hotmail.com

Basically, u can use DI or workflow to generate some transactions based on ur requirements.
