Material Staging missing config?

123 Views

Hi All

I am trying to get material staging to work but cannot get any info for warehosue operators to stage materials in to the production PSAs.

Currently, the production areas hold all of their stock that is consumed in their BOMs. Warehouse receive the stock and receipt the materials directly in to the line side storage bins. So when production orders are processed, the materials are backflushed from the line side bin.

We want to now hold all materials in the warehouse. Therefore, I want the warehouse operators to pick stock from the warehouse and stage to the relevant line side storage bins (PSAs). I have set up control cycles for all line side bins.

However, when the production orders are released, it creates a negative in the line side bin (where there are not sufficient materials for the production order). I was expecting to use LP12 to generate a 'pick list' but nothing comes up.

Do I need to have storage type 100 set up for the warehouse? If so, how is this done.

We are using Staging Indicator 3 (Release Order Parts) so that material demands can be grouped by PSA and not by individual production order.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I'm only missing a small piece of config to get this working

Thanks in advance
