3. Prerequisites
3.1. Creating a Beas-type production line
1. Create a new production line in the Organizational Structure.
2. Select Beas in the Type drop-down menu.
3. Fill in the Code and Name fields and configure the production line on the General tab.
Pick to Location field (optional)
The Pick to Location is the location where the components can be picked to if they are not ready to be used for production and they first must be weighed.
- If the field is filled in, the components are first picked to this location and then they must be moved to the Input Location with the Component Weighing Production flow.
- If the Pick to Location field is not filled in, the system uses the Input Location.
Lock Items Picked to this Location?
If the setting is enabled, the system locks the components on the Pick to Location.
Input Location field (mandatory)
The Input Location is the location where the components are picked to or moved to from the Pick to Location. When the components are in the Input Location, they can be moved to the production line with the Move to Production Line flow.
Active
Check in the checkbox if the production line is active. A production line can only be active if the Input Location field is filled in.
4. Click OK
and the Beas-type production line appears in the Organizational Structure.
3.2. Selecting an active Beas-type production line
1. Open the (Beas) Work Order Position screen.
2. On the Assembly tab select the Link tab.
3. In the WMS Production Line drop-down menu select the necessary Beas-type production line. The drop-down menu lists only those production lines that have an Active status in the Organizational Structure.
4. Click OK
3.3. Selecting the warehouse for the material item
1. Open the Bill of Materials screen.
2. On the General tab navigate to the Warehouse drop-down menu and select the warehouse in which the production line is located.
3. Click OK
.
It is important which warehouse is selected as the picking process must be performed in the warehouse where the production line is located in your Organizational Structure.
4. Production picking
The components of Beas work orders can be picked with the Picking for Production and Picklist for Production flows (see sections 4.1 and 4.2 below). When the components are moved to the Input Location, Produmex WMS sends a notification to Beas.
4.1. Picking for Production flow
The Picking for Production flow identifies Beas work orders if the work order position is linked to a Beas-type production line.
In this case, when the Picking for Production flow is started on the Mobile Client, the Select a production order to pick for screen displays the Beas work orders.
- Standard SAP B1 production order
- Beas work order with a sales order
Displayed values: sales order number and position number (000006/10) - Beas work order without sales order
Displayed values: document entry ID and position number (2/10)
4.2. Picklist for Production
The input of the Picklist for Production flow is a picklist generated from a Beas work order.
Note: Before starting the flow, make sure that you generate a picklist proposal on the Material Requirements screen of Beas Manufacturing by selecting the necessary component and clicking WMS Proposal Picking
.
The Picklist for Production flow identifies the picklist generated from the Beas work order:
5. Moving components to a Beas-type production line
The picked components can be moved from the Input Location to a Beas-type production line with the Move to Production Line flow.
The Select a production line screen of the Mobile Client displays the Beas-type production line and the Select a work order for picking screen displays the related Beas work orders:
