component material transfer before consumption

[former_member184574]

Hi,

I am working for a pharma client. Requirement is as follows.

Process order created for semi finished material which will have raw materials as components. During release of the process order automatic batch determination happens for the components and batches assigned to components. Released process order sent to warehouse for weighing ( dispensing ). Warehouse people weighs the qty of components ( with batches assigned ) as per the process order and transfer the materials from warehouse location to production location. Production People consume the materials ( 261 movement ) against the process order before starting production. This we need to map in to the system.

I made all the relevant settings to map this flow till automatic batch determination but not able to decide on the Procedure of transferring component materials from warehouse location to production location and then consumption,

Can anybody help me out which transactions I need to use and what settings need to be done in config and master data. Is MF60 helps me on this ?

Thanks

Hello Vinamrath,

Did you found a solution for this pharma scenario?

I have same scenario, where my warehouse is a different sotrage location as the production location, and I´m not having issue to do transfer posting from one sLoc to other sLoc; issue is while I´m trying to do consumption from production location.

System is preventing me, as we have created control cycle for this material and process order is "warehouse location".

Could you please comment?,

Thanks!

If possible create one dummy storage location for weighting purpose in that particular plant.  now transfer material from prod. st. loc. to this dummy st. loc.

Hi,

Yes you can use the MF60 transaction to transfer the stock from stores to production storage location

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Can you please share me the detals of what config and master data set up we need to set up so that we can use MF60 transaction to meet the requirement. Please share if you have document on this.

Thanks

MF60 should work for your req. No config or master settings are needed to use MF60, click on Production/process orders tab. Maintain Global Settings on the top of MF60 and put tick on all the check boxes applicable.

Dear KV Kumar,

MF60 are generally being used with REM industry

The Best Option for Process Pharma Industry is to opt for Storage Location Transfer Posting .

Tcode:- MB1B, mvt type :- 311,

Do your Company has also implemented WM .

Then please check and update us.

Hi All,

Still searching for solution...

Manually transferring the stocks with 311 movement is huge task for users as there will be lot of components in process order and entering each component manually in the MB1B transaction will be a much time consuming activity...Cannot propose the same to client......

Even MF60 also not fulfilling the solution.....

Want to achieve this with out any development in ABAP....

Thanks

Hi Vinamrath,

     As per my knowledge, there is no automatic option in SAP for mapping your scenario. The only option is that the warehouse person should transfer the required stock from WH Sloc to Prod Sloc using 311 movement type.

     In the material master (MRP 2 view) of all the components make the production storage location as prod sloc so that by default the process order will check the stock availability in the prod sloc.

Revert back in case of any queries

Hi,

For transferring goods from Store to Production floor you can use MB1B/MIGO with movement type 309. For doing this Stock of production floor increases & Store stock decreases.

For consumption of material against process order you use tcode COIK/MB1A with ref. to Order (movement type 261), for doing this Materials are consume against Order & stock from the production floor decreases.

Hi,

It seems 309 movement is for material to material transfer. we have to move the stock of the same material to production location on the same code against the process order.

Thanks

Use 311 Transfer posting Storage location,

Select receiving location of Production floor.
