Material Staging for Production

[Former Member]

Hi,

When WM is implemented, is it really necessary to use Production supply area and Control Cycle? or only Interim storage area 100 is sufficient? We are not using any KANBAN features,,

Hi,

When WM is implemented, it is not really necessary to use Production supply area and Control Cycle?

But using Interim storage area 100 is nothing but using MM-PP or MM-KANBAN Interface.

If you are not using Production supply area and Control Cycle, You cannot use Interim storage area 100. It is as simple as that.

It is better to configure that part, if your client uses production supply area really.

1.

If you use WM/PP interface, you use interim storage type 100 for material staging. In this case production supply area is a must.

In this scenario you move the pick parts to the interim storage type (100) by processing the TR that is created at the time of PrdOrd release (e.g.).

Please notice that no IM movement is posted at that time. When you get the parts in interim storage type you post IM-mvt 261 and consume the components (so, first WM movements and after that comes IM movmement). Storage type 100 behaves like an interim storage type.

2.

If you don't use WM/PP interface you use interim storage type 914. First you post IM-mvt 261 and after that processing the TR (that is created as a consequence of IM booking) you will get the TO and move the parts from normal storage type to 914.

So, in this case WM movements come after IM movement.

Hi Shrinivas

Regard the usage of Production supply area and control cycle. it is totally based on the business requirement. let take a example where upon consumption of the material you want to replenish the material qty (KANBAN ) then you need to have the functionality activated. If KANBAN and tracking of stock is not required from the production supply area then i feel it's not required

Hope this is helpful
