Hi,

Pull list is used to withdraw the components from Main storage location to the issue storage location. Issue storage location is Prod. storage location.

Pull list used to control the flow of components required for in-house manufacturing.

It is assumed that the components required are already ( procured or produced ) made available in the Main storage location and to be transferred now to production storage location.

Pull list takes into account the dependent requirements generated from the planned orders of the parent parts and stocks of the child component is checked at the production storage location.

Pull list calculates the quantities of the missing parts.

The Process of executing the Pull list and getting the material is known as Material staging.

Prerequisite for Pull list -

The issue storage location should come from the master data to the dependent requirement which has come from the planned order.Issue storage location needs to be maintained in BOM or Material master.

The Tcode for Pull list is MF60.

Hi Srini,

We are facing similar issue when we are issuing material against planned order through MF60 it is ok but when next again if we are issuing material with other planned order for different Product in case of if any common material is not showing for staging as already issued material to production location is considering and not shwoing for issue but here the already issued material is for some other planned oreder why here system here considering that stock is there any exit available so we can put logic that system should not consider the stock and issue as per purely against planned order.

Dear Shubam,

This is one of the drawback in standard SAP while executing MF60,that in case if any common material is already staged for

some other requirement(production order/planned order),the system does not show any requirement for the same as it

considers the stock of the common material in that particular storage location.

Unless the consumption of that common material,the system does not show any requirement to stage.

Check and correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Debashish,

You stage material you need for production at a certain time, in a particular quantity, and in a particular production storage bin, via the WM-PP interface.

Process Flow:

1. You create a production order

2. Release the production order

3. The system determines the material staging type on the basis of the control cycle and determines the production storage bins, in which the components should be staged

4. Automatic material staging is active in the standard system

You can also create transfer requirements for material staging manually.

Hi,

Material staging is nothing but transfering the material from your main store to production location. Before production we have to transfer the material. IN SAP it is called material staging. Its not necessary to use material staging EM only. You can use this for descrite also ie with respect to production orders.

material staging is used to stage the material from issue storage location to production storage location. it is used fro the materials which are staged irrespective of production orders. mostly it is used in repetetive manufacturing.transaction used is MF60
