1. Pull List
The pull list controls the in-house flow of material for supplying production with materials. The
system assumes that the components required for production have already been produced in-house
or procured externally and are now available to be transferred from their current storage location or
bin to the production storage location.

The pull list checks the stock situation at the production storage location and calculates the
quantities of missing parts. Replenishment elements can be created for these missing parts.

2. Master Data
Here we are going to review the key master data needed to use the Pull List.

2.1. Production Storage Location

Issue location for production order

Number of the issue location from which the material is issued during the production
process. Backflush is posted to this issue location if required.

Use
In production, this is the access sequence in which the determination of the production storage
location occurs:

1. First, the issue storage location of the material to be issued (MARC-LGPRO) is transferred to
the material master from the MRP data if it is
filled.
2. The system overwrites this value with the issue storage location from the bill of material
(RC29P-LGORT, STPO-LGORT) if it is filled.
3. If the operation to which the component is assigned in production order contains a work
center with supply area, the storage location is transferred
from this supply area (PVBE-LGORT). However, this transfer is only carried out if storage
location data (MARD) is maintained for this storage location for the material.

Ref .: OSS Note:  137225 - Prod. order: Issuing storage location for component

Depending on if your component is used in more than one production storage location, you could
asisgn this in the material master or in the BOM or through a Supply Area. Let's supose in this
example that we assign this at BOM item level.
This is maintained using t-code CS02. The production storage location is assigned at item
level. Once you are in the BOM, click twice on each BOM item and go to Status / Lng Text tab:

2.2. Stock determination

The pull list controls the in-house flow of material for supplying production with materials. The
system assumes that the components required for production have already been produced in-house
or procured externally and are now available to be transferred from their current storage location or
bin to the production storage location.

This automatic transfer between the current storage location to the production storage location is
performed based on the stock determination strategy.

Strategies for Stock Determination

You make all the settings you require for a stock determination strategy.

You determine a strategy at plant level using the stock determination group and the stock
determination rule (The terms 'rule' and 'group' correspond to the checking group and the checking
rule logic in the availability check).

The customizing point for the Strategies for Stock Determination is:
SPRO -> Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Stock
Determination -> Define Strategies for Stock Determination

The stock determination group is assigned to the material in the material master record.
