Hello Gurus
My client is going to implement SAP WM. He performs movemnt type 261 from t-code COR6N from storage locations that are going to be affected by WM implementation. So I m in doubt about if I have to activate the WM-PP interface in customizing or if it is not mandatory to cover this ?
What do you think??
Thanks!
In general it is not really logical to post goods issue for a component prior to get it from warehouse to production.
You would need to manual request process, e.g. have the production people creating a TR manually with LB01. You convert that to a TO, and move the material from the warehouse bins to the interim storage bin at 914 storage type. Production issues it from 914 when doing the COR6N posting.

Hi Cathy,
if you are planning to assign a warehouse number the the said plant+ storage location combination and the component is warehouse managed then yes you need to activate the WM-PP interface for the consumption to take place. You need to create the control cycle and define the storage bin based on the production supply area setting

Standard SAP flow for consumption is (For component which are WM managed)
1) Create Production order
2) Release production order, Perform material staging
3) System creates Transport Request (TR)
4) Create Transfer order against the TR
5) Transfer the stock to the PSA / Control cycle bin by confirming the transfer order
6) During consumption system will consume the stock from the control cycle bin, if stock is not there the it will create negative quant in storage type 914(as per movement type 261 setting)
7) if negative Quant exist then you have to manully transfer the stock using SAP T-Code LT01 to the bin
Now i don't think by just changing the material master (Not sure which field are you talking in Material master) you will be able to achieve the required result
The problem is that my client does not follow those PP steps, instead he uses t-code COR6N to generate mov. type 261 and 101 with reference to PP order. My problem is now he wants to use WM to storage locations that are afected to this procedure...so I really don t know if is it convenient or not at all to activate the WM-PP interface. Because I am not sure if it is possible to create the TO after material document with mov type 261 created as a result of t-code COR6N...in this case I will not need to activate the WM-PP interface bcs He will process in intermediate storage type 914 not in storage type 100 as wm-pp interface requiered....and I will not need to configurate PSA neither other master data for control cylce....wht do you think?
That is not considered as a SAP best practice. if you are planning to go ahead with that approach then you can have multiple negative Quant sitting in Storage type 914 and reconciliation will be very tough in future.
In my opinion you need to explain the standard SAP flow to them along with the pros and cons(Standard SAP vs the Client approach) and get an agreement to use the WM-PP interface
Never simulated this in past. Please simulate and see whether system is creating TR without activating the WM-PP interface ???
Theoretically i don't think you will get any TR as if you are not activating WM-PP then for TR creation system won't get movement type which is a basic requirement to create TR
