WM PPInterface

In the SAP standard system, storage type 100 and WM movement type 319 has been defined for material staging

WW-PP Interface Steps

1. Maintain production supply area (Tcode : PK05) - Production supply areas (PSAs)  (PSAs)   are used for material replenishment . The supply area groups work centers near production storage bins

based on the material staging methods. You need to enter the PSA in the work center master data.

2. Automatic or manual WM material staging during order release - Controlled by production scheduling profile 3. WM movement type for replenishment - For a storage type, you determine which WM movement type is used to transfer the warehouse replenishment for production.

4. Type of picking requirement ("Define Control - General") - Specify whether the picking requirement is created as a transfer requirement or a delivery. If we choose delivery creation here, you need to enter the delivery type and the goods recipient. In the SAP standard system, there is a default delivery type "WMPP" for this.

5. Activating the PP or PP-PI interface with WM

Master data Production Storage Bins Production storage bins that are used for material staging are determined by the system based on the control cycle. Production workers must pick parts for production only from production storage bins.Otherwise, discrepancies in stock quantities in WM will result. The storage bin can be defined as a ● ●

Physical storage bin Dynamic storage bin (only for pick parts – production order number)

Creating a Control Cycle The control cycle record is made up of the plant, production supply area and material and determines for the WM-PP interface the production storage bin and the type of material staging that is used. Create control cycles (Tcode : LPK1) by choosing Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Master Data ® Warehouse® Production Supply ® Control Cycle Production Supply ® Create

Automatic TO

It that causes the system to create transfer orders automatically from staging TR. To make changes to the movement types in WM, choose Logistics Execution ® Warehouse Management ® Activities® Transfers ® Define Movement Types in Customizing for Warehouse Management.

Example

Initial stock position before staging

●

Created production order

●

Released production order

●

Initiated WM staging

Production storage bin is been picked from control cycle. If dynamic storage bin is selected in control cycle then production storage bin is production order number.

●

TR created to move the stock to production storage bin

●

Convert the TR to TO or as per setting it will be auto converted to TO

The destination is as per the storage bin mentioned in the control cycle ●

Confirm the TO

Stock moved to Storage type - LIN

Normal IM staging from one storage location to another can be done through MF60 or MIGO (311 movement type).

If the stock is in WM managed Sloc and production storage location is IM managed then also we can perform the staging through MF60.

Example : WM sloc (stock is in 0088) and prod loc is IM (0004) Maintained control cycle with staging indicator - not relevant for WM

Tcode : MF60 - Create Proposal

Stock is moved from WM managed Sloc (0088) to IM managed sloc (0004)

The stock in WM shows pending for putaway

Confirm the transfer order and the putaway is complete.

Example : Both Stock keeping and production are warehouse managed

Control cycle

 After the process/production order is released then the WM staging is initiated from MF60 or LP10. This creates the TR, which needs to convrted to TO and confirmed
