Consumption from a different plant and sloc

Former Member

Hi there,

I have a requirement whereby i have a production Plant 1 and a component to be consumed from a different plant Plant 2. I understand that this can be achieved by using the SPK 70 (Withdrawal from an alt Plant) for the material (component) @ Plant 1. Now the extension in th requirement is that system should pick the component from Sloc-SL02 defined for Plant 2. I have defined the

Plant 1 - SL01

Plant 2 - SL02

It should be picked automatically and no manual changes to the sloc at the component overview screen of the production order will be done. The production order is created for the material M1 @ Plant 1. Since we have WM integrated system, is there a way to fetch the sloc using some control cycles..Please help.

Thanks,

Pradeep

First configure your special procurement depending on your procurement.

If you purchase the the component in Plant 2, configure it like below:

If you produce it in-house in Plant 2, configure it like below:

Add the special procurement key to the material master or BOM component.

Now go to CS02 for the BOM of header material and go to component overview and in the tab "status/long txt." add the storage location SL02 (of Plant 2). It will give you a warning message saying that SL02 does not exist in Plant 1, just ignore it by hitting enter and save it.

Now whenever you create a production order system will fill the storage location SL02 and Plant 2 in the production order.

Hi Jeevan,

Thanks for the reply.

In the due time the requirement has a new turn and to automate the same in SAP seems challenging.

The scenario remains more or less the same, however the addition to it is..

1. There can be more than one plants supplying the BOM components with be the same "Withdrawal from alternate plant" using SPK 70. Now there will be multiple plants supplying the components.

Plant 2 - SL02, Plant 3 - SL03, & Plant 4- SL04.

2. Changing the sloc manually in the components overview screen of the production order is not something the client wants to go with.

I understand that in this case three different SPK's is to be defined with three different supplying plants respectively. In this particular case we can't set the sloc in the bom component overview and manual intervention becomes inevitable.

Please advise.

Thanks,

You can set the storage location in bom component overview even if the material is not assigned to that storage location.
