What Is Material Staging

Material staging is nothing but transferring the material from your main store to production location. Before production we have to transfer the material. In SAP it is called material staging. It’s not necessary to use material staging EM only. You can use this for describe also i.e. with respect to production orders.

You stage material you need for production at a certain time, in a particular quantity, and in a particular production storage bin, via the WM-PP interface.

Process Flow:

1. You create a production order

2. Release the production order

3. The system determines the material staging type on the basis of the control cycle and determines the production storage bins, in which the components should be staged

4. Automatic material staging is active in the standard system

You can also create transfer requirements for material staging manually.

Pull list is used to withdraw the components from Main storage location to the issue storage location. Issue storage location is Prod. storage location.

Pull list used to control the flow of components required for in-house manufacturing.

It is assumed that the components required are already ( procured or produced ) made available in the Main storage location and to be transferred now to production storage location.

Pull list takes into account the dependent requirements generated from the planned orders of the parent parts and stocks of the child component is checked at the production storage location.

Pull list calculates the quantities of the missing parts.

The Process of executing the Pull list and getting the material is known as Material staging.
