Facilitating manufacturing order material reporting in fast-moving manufacturing environment
To manage a manufactured material as an interim stock at a manufacturing order (MO) reporting process, a new 'Intermediate stock' parameter has been added to 'Product. Connect Materials/Operations' (PDS002), 'Manufacturing Order. Open Lines' (PMS101), and corresponding PDS002MI (Product Connect Materials and Operations) and PMS100MI (Manufacturing order). This functionality facilitates the MO material reporting where a material is reported as consumed but it is not reported yet in stock.
This parameter is limited to an item with the 'Lot control method' (INDI) parameter set to 3, parameter 'Inspection Code' (QACD) set to 0, and 'Sublot controlled' (SUME) parameter set to 0 in 'Item. Master Open' (MMS001). Furthermore, the product and a material must have an item facility 'Inventory accounting method' (VAMT) set to 0, 1 or 2 in 'Item Facility. Open' (MMS003). The parameter can be activated only for one material in a product structure or MO. In the material report flow, a material must be manufactured and reported with 'Issue Method' (SPMT) set to 2 in 'Manufacturing Order. Open Lines' (PMS101). 'Schedule Level Reservation' and 'Aging' functionalities are not available for the intermediate stocked material.
