  Use this session to control material and end items that are sent from the warehouse to the shop floor, and back. In this session, you can issue, return, or cancel items in a detailed way, which is especially important in case of serialized items or lot controlled items. Every material or end item transaction that results in a warehouse order is reflected by a production warehouse order in this session.

  You can select in the View menu which production warehouse orders you want to view:

  • The production warehouse orders for the End Item.
  • The production warehouse orders for the Material, which are sorted by material position number.

  Note

  If you want to control warehouse handling of material and end items in a less detailed way, you can use the following sessions:

  • Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m100)
  • Report Orders Completed (tisfc0120s000)

  Detailed control of warehouse handling

  In this session, the detailed warehouse handling of material and end items enables you to:

  • Make a difference between canceling a quantity that is still in the warehouse, and returning a redundant quantity from the shop floor to the warehouse.
  • Return a specific lot code or serial number to the warehouse. This is useful if multiple lots or serial numbers are in the warehouse for a specific material or production order.
  • Specify different planned issue dates or receipt dates for a material or a production order. The planned inventory transactions reflect the different dates. Consequently, the MRP planning will result in a more accurate material planning.
  • Restart automatic processing, if you use automatic processing of warehouse orders (the Direct Process Warehouse Order Line check box is selected), and previous automatic processing was not successful, for example, due to a shortage.
  • Select a different warehouse procedure when using return orders.

  How to use this session

  In the Material view, you can issue, cancel, or return material quantities in the session's heading as well as in the lines, for a specific production warehouse order.

  To handle quantities in the header

  If you want to issue material from the warehouse, carry out the following steps:

  1. Type the quantity that you want to issue in the header in the To Issue field.
  2. In the appropriate menu, click Process. If you typed a quantity in the To Issue field that is less than the ordered quantity, a new production warehouse order can be created.
  3. To continue the material handling process, select the appropriate production warehouse order, and choose the next action in the procedure in the appropriate menu, for example, Initiate Inventory Issue.

  If you want to return or cancel a material quantity, you must also enter the quantity in respectively the To Return field or the To Cancel field in the header, and then click Process in the appropriate menu.

  To handle quantities in the lines

  If you have to deal with serialized or lot-controlled items, you must handle your material in a more detailed way. You can choose, for example, to sent an item with a specific serial number back from the shop floor to the warehouse. Therefore, you must double-click the appropriate warehouse production order, so that the details session is started. In the details session, you can indicate the serial number of the item that you want to return.

  Multiple production warehouse orders

  In the Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session, production warehouse orders are listed for a specific production order. A production warehouse order can relate to:

  • A planned inventory transaction in the Order - Planned Inventory Transactions (whinp1501m000) session.
  • If the production order is at least released: A warehouse order line in the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session and the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session.

  The following sections provide examples of multiple production warehouse orders, for example in case of subsequent deliveries or unit effective items.

  To issue - Subsequent delivery

  There are two production orders, one for issue and one for subsequent delivery. These two production warehouse orders initially have the same allocation date, but you can change the allocation date manually in the Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session.

  Order distribution

  An order distribution as defined in the Order Distribution (tisfc0105m000) session can result in multiple production warehouse orders. This is the case if the end item or material is defined as Lot Controlled in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) details session, and the Lots in Inventory check box is selected in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session. One production warehouse order is generated for every involved effectivity unit.

  If the end item or material is not Lot Controlled, the full quantity of the production order or material is recorded for effectivity unit 0 (zero), so in that case only one production warehouse order is present.

  If the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) details session, also only one production warehouse order is present.

  There was no distribution below the Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session. This resulted in the need to process multiple inbound and outbound order lines in the event an end item was the recipient for multiple pegs or if one material was issued to multiple pegs.
