Advanced Production Integration in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) streamlines the connection between production and warehouse operations. This integration allows businesses to effectively manage the supply of materials to production and the receipt of semi-finished or finished products back into the warehouse. This integration helps optimize material flows, improve inventory accuracy, and enhance overall operational efficiency, allowing businesses to quickly respond to changing market demands.

Advance production Integration supports 4 types of staging method – we will be covering Single Order Staging method in this blog. This blog will be divided in 2 parts – Configuration and testing.

I am using single warehouse - single storage location (AFS) for production and warehousing space in this blog.

Part – 1 Configuration:

S4 Configuration –

1. Create Material - Finished Good & Components (T-code – MM01)

First step will be creation of materials – create finished goods and components and maintain Basic Data, Sales View, Purchasing, MRP all views, Work Scheduling views.

I have created FG-11 as Finished Product and SM-11 & SM-12 as Components.

2. Create BOM for Finished Product (T-code - CS01)

Enter Material, Plant & BOM usage details – BOM usage should be 1 for production purpose. (For kitting or other operations – it will be different).

Enter components and required quantity of components to prepare finished product. The item category is “L” for stock Item.

I have taken 2 for each component to prepare our final product.

3. Create PSA – Production Supply Area (T-code – PK05)

Enter Plant, PSA, Storage Location & Responsible person name.

jaimin1012_2-1727994879555.png

4. Create Work Center for Finished Product (T-code – CR01)

Add Usage – 009 – All task list types

Also, add cost center details under costing tab.

5. Routing for Finished Product (T-code – CA01)

Create Routing for finished product – it should list all the production steps.

For testing, I have maintained only 1 – 0010 as complete production step.

jaimin1012_4-1727994879563.png

6. Assign Production scheduling profile & Production version to Finished Product (T-code – MM02)

Tab – Work Scheduling

jaimin1012_5-1727994879568.png

7. Control cycle for components (T-code – LKP1)

Need to create control cycle maintenance for components – this will determine source & destination storage location and staging Indicator.

jaimin1012_6-1727994879572.png

EWM Configuration –

1. BC Sets Activation (T-code – SCPR20)

Need to activate below BC sets, it will add document and item type related basic settings to generate PMR.

jaimin1012_7-1727994879575.png

2. ERP-EWM Interface

PATH – SPRO – IMG – SCM EWM – EWM – INTERFACE – ERP INTEGRATION – PRODUCTION – MAP ORDER TYPE TO DOC TYPE

jaimin1012_8-1727994879580.png

3. WPT & WPT Determination (GI & GR)

Create 2 WPT - I have used standard WPT - 2100 (Stock Removal) & 1100 WPT (Put away) and then maintain WPT determination criteria.

PATH – SPRO – IMG – SCM EWM – EWM – CROSS PROCESS SETTINGS – WAREHOUSE TASK – DEFINE WPT

jaimin1012_9-1727994879585.png

jaimin1012_10-1727994879593.png

4. Storage Strategies (Removal & Placement)

I have created simple strategies by using WPT only.

jaimin1012_11-1727994879600.png

5. Maintain Product Master Data (T-code - /SCWM/MAT1)

Maintain control indicators if used any during WPT determination or storage search sequence.

6. Maintain Stock for components

Maintain stock for components through IB Delivery or uploading stock (/SCWM/ISU).

7. Create/Replicate PSA (T-code - /SCWM/PSA_REPLICATE)

jaimin1012_12-1727994879603.png

8. Create Storage type, Production work center and related AA.

PATH – SPRO – IMG – SCM EWM – EWM – MASTER DATA – DEFINE STORAGE TYPE

Create 1 storage type for GR – 9015 and 1 for Production Supply – PROD (With storage type role – K)

Create Work center – PRD1

jaimin1012_13-1727994879604.png

9. Master Data (Bin Creation, T-code - /SCWM/LS01)

Create bins – 1 for GR and 1 for production supply and then sort them by using T-code /SCWM/SBST.

jaimin1012_14-1727994879605.png

Assign work center bin to work center (T-code - /SCWM/TWORKST)

jaimin1012_15-1727994879608.png

10. Assigning bin to PSA (T-code - /SCWM/PSASTAGE)

Enter staging method, staging bin, staging WPT, replenishment qty if want to trigger more qty for replenishment purpose.

jaimin1012_16-1727994879613.png

Part – 2 Testing:

1. Create Production Order (T-code – CO01)

Enter Finished product, Production Plant and Order type details.

jaimin1012_17-1727994879614.png

Enter total quantity and Scheduling type details then navigate to component tab to see component view.

jaimin1012_18-1727994879625.png

Release order and then Execute staging by clicking on Functions – WM Material Staging -Simulate & Execute and then save the document.

jaimin1012_19-1727994879639.png

jaimin1012_20-1727994879641.png

2. Review Order (T-code - /SCWM/PMR)

Review order document type, item type, finished product and component quantity, WPT and so on.

jaimin1012_21-1727994879648.png

3. Create WT to stage components (T-code - /SCWM/STAGE)

Select any selection criteria, I am choosing order number and execute the staging, I am getting warning message as we have selected replenishment qty 5 in /SCWM/PSASTAGE t-code.

jaimin1012_22-1727994879660.png

4. Confirm staging task (RFUI or directly from MON) and it will move stage the qty to stage bin.

We can check through manufacture order number.

jaimin1012_23-1727994879664.png

5. Now, consumption will take place, and it will auto GI (T-code - /SCWM/RFUI)

Enter 451 to navigate to manufacturing screen directly and enter order no.

jaimin1012_24-1727994879668.png

Standard screen will ask for below details – enter HU/Bin, product and quantity and hit enter to save the record.

Do this for both products, we can check the status in monitor w.r.t. manufacture order.

jaimin1012_25-1727994879675.png

Verify the movement type 261 under manufacture order (T-code – CO03)

jaimin1012_26-1727994879738.png

6. GR for finished product. We can use RF to create IB Del against the manufacture order.

Enter 3464 to navigate directly to receive screen by order number, system will ask work center – enter work center details and then enter the manufacture order no.

jaimin1012_27-1727994879741.png

Enter the finished product details.

jaimin1012_28-1727994879742.png

Next screen will ask for HU details – create HU by entering packaging material details (F2 ChPm) and update quantity (F3 ChQty) and then create HU (F4 HUCr). It will create IBD.

jaimin1012_29-1727994879744.png

Review Inbound Delivery (T-code - /SCWM/PRDI), Pack Status shows completed, do the GR.

jaimin1012_30-1727994879763.png

Review GR and movement types 101 back in the manufacture order (T-code – CO03)

jaimin1012_31-1727994879765.png

Further, Put away can be executed in EWM for the finished product.

This is the simplest scenario in advance production integration and steps that can be followed to understand the concept of PMR, Staging methods and consumption and receiving of finished goods.

Thank you for your time and going over my work.
