I've searched Google (which pointed me to a few threads on here, none with a solution) unsuccessfully, so perhaps one of you gurus have a potential solution.
My current client has a production line with a point-of-use "Supermarket" where commonly-used components are kept instead of being staged/picked for any particular production order. These are replenished in consistent quantities, so I was thinking that setting up Crate Part control cycles for each material in the supermarket would work. The supermarket is set up as a single bin (100/SUPERMARKT), and this bin is set up as the destination bin in each control cycle.
The problem is that LP11 only permits you to execute for one material at a time, and requires you to enter a material number and not a wildcard like "*". Since the client wishes to replenish using a background job, I fear that I will have to set up batch jobs for 200+ materials. Does anyone out there know of a practical way to stage crate parts en masse? Ideally I'm looking for something standard that I've overlooked, but if it comes down to a z-program I guess we can explore that.
To clarify - I'm prevented from setting up the generic control cycle for the PSA as a Crate Part cycle because they need the material-nonspecific cycle to have a staging indicator of "1" (pick parts) for the various components on each production order that would only be staged when a production order is released.
Thanks
