Production Supply
The aim of production supply is to supply and dispose of production with material as needed, as well as to manage work in progress. This section guides you through the relevant settings for production supply.
In the SIEVERS WMS Setup, you will find the Production section. Here you can carry out the basic setup for production and its supply. For example, the setup includes the production location, the staging location for the components and the supply class. Parts of the setup made here depend on setup fields on the item. These can be found in the section assembly and manufacturing supply. For example, you can define whether and which minimum and maximum stock of this item should be available in production. Furthermore, you can specify the replenishment strategy, inventory selection strategy and Inbound Stock Post strategy for this item in the context of production.
Production supplies are moved using move orders with the production supply type. These move orders can be created either automatically via a job queue entry, manually via the released production order or the Check Production Supply report. The strategies for replenishment, inventory selection, provisioning, and Inbound Stock Post are responsible for determining the storage places of the components and finished parts. These are specified in various locations in the system. For this reason, there is an internal system priority to specify which strategy applies. Priority 1 is the highest priority. This applies first. If there is no setup here, the next priority applies.
Priorities:
- Machine center
- Stockkeeping unit
- Item
- Item category
- Production order
The automatic team assignment for production supply move jobs takes into account the move job type filter configured in the team card. Teams of the type production supply can specify via this filter which move job types they want to process. Only move jobs that match the filter are automatically assigned to the team.
