Setting Up The WM-PP Interface

This document provides steps for setting up the interface between a warehouse management system and production planning system to enable direct material staging from the warehouse to production. Key steps include defining movement types for material staging and goods receipt, setting up interface storage types, creating production supply areas, defining production storage bins, creating control cycles, and activating the interface by setting an indicator. When complete, the interface is ready for material staging from the warehouse to production and goods receipt from production to the warehouse.

Setting up the WM-PP Interface

Use

The interface between the Warehouse Management


system (WMS) and the Production Control of the
application component Production Planning (WM-PP
interface) ensures direct material staging from the
warehouse to production.

Prerequisites

You have set up the application component Production


Planning (PP).

You have set up the application component Warehouse


Management system (WMS).
You have defined number ranges for control cycles. To do
this, choose the activity KANBAN  Define Number
Range for Control Cycle in the Customizing for Production.

Procedure
You have activated the interface between the WMS and
PP in the Customizing for Warehouse
Management under Interfaces Define Production. To do
this, proceed as follows:

1. Define a WMS movement type for material staging to


production and a WMS movement type for goods
receipt from production in the Customizing
for Warehouse
Management under Activities Transfers  Define
Movement Types.

In the standard system, WMS movement type 319 is


set up for material staging.

In the standard system, WMS movement type 103 is


set up for goods receipt from production. This
movement type is assigned to IM movement type 101.

2. Define at least one production storage type as


an interface storage type for material staging.

In the standard system, storage type 100 is set up for


material staging.

3. Assign the WMS movement type for material staging


to your material staging storage type in the
Customizing for Warehouse
Management under Interfaces Define
production  Replenishment movement
type  Assign.
4. Create the production supply areas in the
Customizing for Warehouse
Management under Interfaces  Define
production Production supply area  Maintain.
5. Define and manage the physical production storage
bins in the WMS.
For more information, see Creating Storage Bins.

6. Create control cycles for the components to be


staged.

You define how a component is to be staged for a


production supply area, and in which production
storage bin.

7. If you want to activate automatic material staging for


production orders, define a production scheduling
profile in the Customizing for Warehouse
Management under Interfaces  Define
Production Define control data  Production
View, and set the indicator WM request.
For more information, see Automatic Material Staging.
You can only use automatic material staging if you
have assigned a production storage bin to all of the
staging components.

8. Activate the WM-PP interface by setting the


indicator PP interface active in the Customizing
for Warehouse
Management under Interfaces  Define
Production Define Control Data  Whse
Management View  Warehouse Number.

Result

The WM-PP interface is set up for material staging from


the warehouse to production and for the receipt of finished
materials from production to the warehouse.
