Material Transfer (B/w Sloc)

[former_member475608]

Hello gurus,

My client is producing 2 finished products in which 70 percent of Halb and Roh material are same. There are 2 work centers. Work centers are not fixed for both products and so both products can be manufactured on either of the workcenters. There are 2 storage locations which are fixed/assigned for both work centers. These SLocations contain all the Halb and ROH material for their respected finished product being produced on that particular workcenter at that particular time.

1- How will the 70 percent of the same material be distinguished in both the slocs, i.e for which finished product is this HALB or ROH material assigned/belong to?

2- As both finshed products can be manufactured on both WC, what will happen to HALB and ROH when both the products are being produced on both the WCs at the same time. How will the user or the shop floor controller know which material belongs to what finished product in what SLoc and needs to proceed to which Workcenter?

I've thought of mb1b using movement type 311 to transfer sloc wise but the question remains same how will the user know which material to transfer or not?

additional info:

Planing(PIR,MRP etc) being done on Finished product level FERT

Thanks

Hello

The best way to address this scenario is creating a production supply area for your storage location and assigning it to your work center. That way, components assigned to an operation of this work center, will refer to this specific storage location.

After that, you can use transaction MF60 to list the missing components on this storage location and post the transference.

Hi Caetano,

I'll be highlighting the process so kindly let me know whether it's correct or where it needs to be corrected.

- I create production supply area through SPRO > LE > WM > Interfaces > Define Production. I assign PSA1 (production supply area 1) to Sloc 1 for 1st WorkCenter. PSA2 to Sloc 2 for 2nd WC.

- I assign respected Production supply area in cro2 to 1st and 2nd WC

~Now planning run.

-Now I do the planning(Pir, Mrp run). Then convert planned orders to Prd Orders through co41.

- now I goto MF60 select staging types : Sloc level.
-Click on Prd/Process Orders tab.

-Enter PrdOrder/process Order number in Order field and execute.

- In issue storage location column the Sloc will be showing up. ( where will the PSA shows up, is it Storage bin column? or do i click replenish proposal and system automatically replenishes the stock to PSA?).

Kindly guide me from this point forward.

Thanks
Shankar

Hello

Yes, this process is correct.

When you run transaction MF60, it there are missing components on the storage location assigned to the work center, system can automatically post the transference.

Document can help you to use MF60.

Hi,

one more thing, we can do all this stuff through mb1b but it's manual work so we prefer mf60? correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks

Yes, you are right. In addition, in MB1B you need to know the quantity to transfer in advance, while MF60 will tell you exactly the missing quantity and generate a transfer to cover it.
