Material Staging missing config?

[former_member198492]

Hi All

We have set up a new warehouse that we want to use Material Staging.

The Production area is also set up. I have the following master data set up:

Production Supply Area - ABC1

Work Centre - ABC1

Control Cycle (with staging indicator as 4 - Manual Staging)

Destination Storage bin - ABC1

I have released a test production order with 4 materials (all have the backflush ind)

But I cannot see anything in LB10. I am expecting to see a TR where I can convert to a TO (remove materials from warehouse and send to the PSA) and then confirm. This should put material in the PSA and backflushed when production order is completed.

Is there some config that I am missing?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what you are trying to do.

Control cycle and supply area are for Kanban process. Are you in fact trying to use Kanban?

The control cycle defines the production storage bin with the production supply area. I am not trying to use Kanban.

As a summary, I want a released production order to trigger a TR in the warehouse to manually pick materials from warehouse storage bins (e.g. WA storage type) and then take to the production storage bin (e.g. LS storage type). On completion of the production order the materials are backflushed from the production storage bin.

This is my understanding of how manual material staging is processed. However, I must be missing some settings as when I release my production order, I do not get any trigger to pick the materilas from the warehouse and stage in the production storage bin.

I hope this helps clarify my initial question

Thanks for response

Hello Darren,

Why don't you give a try with Staging Indicator "3" in control cycle?

Indicator "3" is for rel. Ord. Parts. I hope it will work.

Try and confirm whether it works?

Hi Rahul

Tried that and got the following error message:

"Do not define cross-material control cycles for release order parts"

I only have one control cycle for the warehouse that I am setting up.

Thanks for response

Hi Darren,

Delete the control cycle for the material (t-code LPK2) then releasing process orders with the material as requirement should trigger TR.  You can see the TRs with LB10 or LB11.

Hope this helps.
