| Supply location and demand locationIn the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) session, you can define the following locations,
particularly for DMS: DMS Supply Location The default location from which materials for a production
order are supplied. If the warehouse is DMS Supplied, this location appears on the material line of a production
order. Usually, the supply location is a location in the shop floor warehouse near the work center. DMS Demand Location The default location to which the end item of a production
order is supplied. If the warehouse is DMS Supplied, this location appears on the production order
header. To DMS, the production order represents demand on the shop
floor warehouse.
Goods flow If materials are received in the main warehouse and these
materials are supplied to the shop floor warehouse by means of a DMS run, the
DMS run creates a transfer order from the main warehouse to the shop floor
warehouse with the DMS supply location as defined for the material and the shop
floor (destination) warehouse. Explanation - WH1 is the warehouse where the materials are received and from
which the materials are distributed.
- WH2 is the shop floor warehouse with supply location
L28.
- After the production order is finished, the end item is
received in the destination location as defined for the end item and
destination warehouse. The destination warehouse can be the shop floor
warehouse itself or another warehouse.
