Configuring production staging

The system allows for some items used within the production process to be staged in a single staging location that can be shared by multiple production lines at the same time. You can configure a staging location for multiple production lines for the same owner/item.

To add and configure a production staging record:

  1. Within a warehouse, select WMS > Configuration > Production Staging. The list view of the Production Staging screen is displayed.
  2. Click New.
  3. Specify this information:
    Owner
    Click the lookup icon to view and select the applicable Owner from the list.
    Item
    Click the lookup icon to view and select the applicable item from the list of items for the specified owner.
    Production Line
    Click the lookup icon to view and select the applicable location from the list of locations.
    Description
    Specify a description for the production staging record.
    Staging Location
    Click the lookup icon to view and select the applicable location from the list of locations.
    Backflush Inventory from Speed Pick
    If the check box is selected, it indicates that backflush logic is being used for the production order and reflects that the type of product being consolidated is linked to the correct speed location.
    Lose ID

    If the check box is selected, it indicates that the LPN or pallet ID is removed from all items moved into the location.

    Minimum Capacity (Master Unit)
    Specify the minimum quantity allowed in the production staging location based on the item/location combination.
    Maximum Capacity (Master Unit)
    Specify the maximum quantity allowed in the production staging location based on the item/location combination.
    Minimum Replenishment UOM

    Move Task to Count Location is Not Created
    Select if the move task should be created for the item during the production order close. You can manage if a move task is suppressed for the item/location when the owner is configured for move task creation. Select the check box if you do not want the move task created during close. Clear (do not select) the check box if you want the move task created during close (default value).
  4. Click Save.
