The field Production stor.location will have two significances.

1. It is the production storage location( where production is happening) for the assemblies.. If we fill this field, then only in production order the storage locations will be automatically copied.

2.It is also the Issue storage location ( from where it is to be issued to production) for the Components(raw materials).

If we fill this field, then only Backflush of materials will happen while confirmation...

hope this helps...

Hi Benny,

The Prod. sloc maintained in mtl master serves dual purpose, first when a production order is created for that material, it acts as the receiving location i.e. when you post a GR for the prodn order via MB31 the stock gets posted into this sloc. The other purpose is when this material is a component in a production order, then stock gets issued from this sloc.

This field can be maintained at material master level or at BOM level. The one maintained at BOM level has a higher precedence over the one in material master. If you might ask why 2 places to maintain the same data, there might be instances where the component is stored at different slocs depending on the BOM, then it makes sense to maintain at BOM level, but if the component is always maintained at a single sloc, then maintain in mtl master level.

Hope the above answers your query.

Hi,

The production storage location will be the default storage location for the GR storage location from production. The system will consider this SLOC as the default while doing the GR from production.
