Shop floor warehousesShop floor warehouses are a special kind of warehouse that store and control the materials needed for production. An shop floor warehouse is linked to a work center by which materials needed for operations can be pulled from inventory in the shop floor warehouse linked to that operation such as a location on the line. A work center can have a unique warehouse for short-term storage of materials that are used called shop floor warehouse. The distinction is administrative, the same process to issue materials is used for both the standard and shop floor warehouses. All materials needed for a production order are allocated to the warehouses specified in the bill of material (BOM) or the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session. If a shop floor warehouse is defined for the operation's work center, and depending on the Move Allocation to Shop Floor Warehouse check box setting in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session materials are moved to this shop floor warehouse during generation or release of the production order. After production starts, materials for the operations are issued from the shop floor warehouses that are linked to the work centers in which the operations are performed, this is done either manually or by backflushing. Shop floor warehouses are replenished from the warehouse specified in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session. Shop floor warehouses are replenished from the warehouse specified in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session. Usually this is the warehouse specified for the material in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. The way in which a shop floor warehouse is replenished depends on whether a push system or a pull system is used:
Transfer orders Every transfer order consists of two parts:
If changes occur in material requirements during production, these changes are reflected in the transfer order. For example:
Use the Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session to view transfer orders in relation to JSC orders. You can modify a transfer order manually by adjusting the properties on the Issue line. The transfer Receipt line is then automatically changed. In the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, you can use the Correct Outbound Quantity for JSC upto and including fields and the Correct Outbound Dates for JSC upto and including fields to indicate until when you can still modify a transfer order.
