Manual staging to PSA at time of TO confirmation auto issue to process order

[neil_peltier]

There has been a question if we could at the time the TO is created to move to the PSA that upon confirmation it could auto GI to process order. Has anyone had a similar request from the business? We are using the manual staging for some of the materials, and in this case these are the ones that would use the auto issue. Other normal process orders use the TR/TO process from WM-PP interface.

HI, Neil,

Not sure I've understood well the question, anyway you can use material staging indicato "4" for manual staging in control cycle WM.

During backflush the system will consume the material from the storage type/bin indicated in the control cycle

Hello Claudio,

We are using staging indicator 4 in the control cycle and backflushing was turned off for these particular items. The question from the business is can we create a TO to move to the PSA and at the time of confirmation can it also perform the GI to process order that is going to be used for which is the similar to backflushing but does not require a completion. Instead of having to confirm the TO then perform the GI they want the confirmation of TO to do both. I hope this is clear now.

Hi Neil,

As per SAP standard you cannot trigger the GI process upon TO confirmation however the alternate is you can ask the developer to write the piece of code in exit 'EXIT_SAPLL03T_002'  to call the function module Create_Goods_movement upon TO confirmation and pass the relevent import /export parameter.

Since you need this functionality only in the case where you are transfering material from Wh bin to PSA Storage Type(100) you can create a custom table and make an entry in the table to control the trigger of GI.Custom code should check the entry in the table and if meets the crietria then it will trigger the GI for the process order.

Hi Neil.

Yes you can! but you should use deliveries instead of TR when you stage the material (customizing of PP/WM interface).

Then you can post automatic GI at confirmation of TO (through a specific indicator "Include pick. quantities in delivery and post GI")

Let me know

Hello Claudio,

That seems like it could work but would it differentiate from different storage types as well? We are using 3 main types RAW, DRY, and FRZ which all bring over different items. The only one having the issue is the RAW side. This side is also not generating a TO or a TR it is a manual stage so would this above that you mentioned still apply? It also cannot affect the other areas.

Hi Neil,

yes you can do it.

• You should stage the material to different storage types in production (not only storage type 100, if you are using the standard, but create for instance, Stype 101, 102, 103, ecc..)
• Create different WM movement and link each movement to the destination storage type (standard movement 319 for 100, 929 for 102, 939 for 103, ecc)
• Create WM control cycle accordingly
• Allow the GI at the confirmation only for the movement type you desire

Let me know

Regards

PS this works only with deliveries and only with staging indicator 1
