WMS Material Moves for Staging

Posted on by Community Member

Looking to set up a production relationship that will generate multiple picking work.

Raw Materials Received into Main Warehouse

Materials Required for production moved to a Prelim Staging Area

Materials Required for production moved to a Pending Staging Area

Materials Required for production consumed via a scan on the actual production order.

I can accommodate the initial receipt of course, and the initial move from the Main Warehouse to a Prelim staging area. I can accommodate the actual production scan. What is the best method to have the system generate work to move material from the preliminary staging area to a pending area?

I was able to configure the multiple moves by setting up a transfer relationship between the Main warehouse and the Prelim Staging area.

So do you pick the items three times? Could you tell me why you need to move them so many times before they are consumed?

some times may be topped up hourly, some daily, some weekly etc. For the system to plan the transfers, then obviously transfer orders is the right way to go.

This may be necessary when you have high volumes to produce(automated lines) on long running jobs e.g. for several weeks

The challenge can be to decide how many of what to transfer and when e.g. by shift or by day. Min max for a day's throughput is one approach. However due tot he vendor delivery schedules, and the component volumes,

it is possible to create a dummy master factory bom of all produced items, a version of that can be updated daily with the actual amount to be produced for the next day. Forecast 1 of that Master BOM and blow that through mrp and you will get an aggregate list of all components needed for production for the day i.e. a consolidated daily picking list.

A similar idea in reverse is to set the master BOM quantity to what was made in the previous time bucket and then explosion tell you what needs to be replaced.

Hi Jen Johnson Socius,

You can use the Movement Templates to create the Movement from A location to B Specified Location. Then it is required to create the Inventory Movement Work by using the Existing work and select user directed drop down. Create the Inventory movement work templates and attached the specified work class. And Mobile device use r will login and complete the work transactions
