Production Kitting using

WM-PP interface

 
In this article I will explain how we
can use the WM-PP interface and
achieve kitting solution. 

Some times there is a need to

assemble parts for a finished product
before shipping them out to
 Setting up SAP WM PP interface is
customer. We cannot stock the final
covered in this Online SAP WM
product as it takes up lot of space to
store them in bins. Training course 

The finished product is not a regular

produced item on a production
line.The warehouse is only stocking
spares and shipping the finished
product based on orders.i.e No
regular manufacturing plant location
involved . 

In such a case we can use the WM-PP interface where based on a customer order
a production order will be issued to the warehouse. The production order will
release the child component for staging .After assembly a GR can be done to
receive the finished component into the destination bin.This can be picked and
shipped against the customer order.

The following customization is required to be done for setting WM-PP interface.

This customization is for production order scenario.

Set up theproduction scheduling profile by copying the standard prod.

scheduling profile. I have created Z00002 here. In the production scheduling
below setting is to be done by changing the default one. This prod.scheduling
profile will further be linked to the material master.

Select 1 if you want immediate Transfer order to be created upon release of

production order.

With this setting ,once you release the production order ,a Transfer requirement
and a Transfer order will be created.The transfer order can be used as a pick list
to pick the child components.

Step2

Save and go back to the PP interface main menu.In the whse management
button view select the PP interface active

Step 3

Save and go back to the PP interface main menu. In the Replenishment

movement type tab assign mvt 319 as replenishment movement to storage type
100.

Step 4

Once this is done ,you need to maintain master data

1)Material master

In the Material master ,in the work scheduling profile view ,maintain the
production scheduling profile , that you earlier created .This is required for child
components only.Parent material need not have it as it is not going to be
staged.

2)Production supply area: Use transaction PK05 to maintain production supply

area.

3)Control cycle: Maintain control cycle using transaction LPK1. Inside the control
cycle note the below settings to be done.

You can either specify a fixed bin you have created in the production storage
type 100. 

(This is to differentiate the material being staged onto different lines if it is a

amnufacturing site.) Since in our case it is not a regular manufacturing site , we
can use a dynamic bin which is actually the production order number.When
dynamic bin is ticked , actual storage bin is not required to be entered.

From PP side you will need to maintain the following master data

1) Work centre - Use Tcode CR01

2)Routing -Use Tcode CA01. Routing captures the work centre for the parent
component

3)Production BOM -Use Tcode CS01.

Steps for executing the Production order scenario-

1)Once you receive a customer order , a production order is created for the
quantity required using CO01.

2) Release the production order with transaction CO02.

3)Once the production order is released ,it will create Transfer order in the back
ground for the child components. The destination bin will be a dynamic bin in
storage type 100.

4)Once the items are picked and brought to the assembly area ,confirm the
Transfer order.

5)Do a goods receipt for the parent component with CO11n.This will consume
the child components(mvt 261 ) and produce parent component (mvt 101)

A transfer order will be created for the parent component for put away.

6)This parent components can be now picked for the customer order using
normal delivery.

@Clark,
When you do a goods receipt for the parent component with CO11n it
will consume the child components(mvt 261 ) and produce parent component
(mvt 101). This is standard process how it happens. Seems you have some
confusion regarding the time of TR-TO step. Please go through the steps of
executing pp scenario given above. It is very clearly mentioned which step
happens when. Hope it helps.

Hi,

After use co11n to backflush, what is the process to consume child

components?
How to make sure 261 movement will reduce stock in storage type 100?
Normally, 261 should trigger TR->TO process, the source bin will get by
picking strategy and should be pick from storage type in warehouse not
storage type 100.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi Niraj,
If one of the item is missing , when you stage the order , the item will
go into COGI and no TR will be generated. You will need to clear the item
from COGI when you have the stock for missing item replenished in the
warehouse.

Great notes. Anybody who has general idea about WM can easily understand
WM-PP functionality.

It would be great if you could post some document on Kanban functionality.

cheer up.
