Default storage location for phantom assembly material in production order

[Former Member]

Hello team

We are facing one issue where when we create any Production order for one specific product we get one storage location copied for one of its components which is a phantom material .

if we check the material it is not created for that particular storage location, than how is system defaulting that in Prod order.

This order when goes to APO is resultant in queues getting stuck as the Storage location is not there for the material

can you pls tel why and how the sto loc is getting copied

Hi,

In BOM explosion, the system tries to find a storage location in the BOM item (component). If no issue storage location has been defined in the BOM item, the system reads the MRP group that has been maintained for the assembly or the finished product and thus determines the strategy to use for storage location (supply area) determination.Here, the system proceeds as follows:

If you set indicator 1 Only components, the system checks to see whether the issue storage location has been maintained in the material master record of the components and uses this storage location. This storage location is then used as the withdrawal storage location and is displayed in the component list of the planned order.

If you set indicator 2 Only assembly, the system checks to see whether the proposal withdrawal location has been maintained in the production version of the assembly or finished product. If this has been maintained, the system uses this withdrawal storage location for all components and displays it in the components list in the planned order. If no proposal withdrawal location has been maintained, the system uses the assemblyu2019s receiving storage location as the withdrawal storage location for the components. You can define the receiving storage location in the production version of the assembly in field To location or in the material master record of the assembly in field Issue stor.location.

If neither of these entries has been maintained, you can enter the receiving storage location (goods receipt storage location) in the backflush transaction in Repetitive Manufacturing which is then used as the withdrawal storage location for the components.

If you set indicator 3, the system first proceeds as for indicator 1 described above. If it cannot find a storage location using indicator 1, it then proceeds as described above for indicator 2.

If you set indicator 4, the system first proceeds as for indicator 2 described above. If it cannot find a storage location using indicator 2, it then proceeds as described above for indicator 1.

Thanks,
