In this blog post I would like to highlight the differences in Scope Item 3DV: Warehouse Production Integration between IM-Managed and WM-Managed psa in a production process and the configuration steps that are necessary to be able to execute these processes. As a beginner you can quickly get into difficulties. Therefore, this blog should support you to be able to set up and test the process.
First, let's look at the IM-Managed PSA process and the corresponding configurations.
In our test example we have our final product TG20_SerialC_P and the components RM20 and TG20_SerialA. The components are in a WM-managed warehouse and need to be transferred to production storage location 101B. The final product is then placed into storage location 101B.
We need to create a production order with the app „Create Production Order“.
We enter our material and production plant.
In total we will manufacture 2 of the material TG20_SerialC_P.
The warning indicates that the required components are not in stock.
In the tab "Goods Receipt" we enter our production storage location "101B" as location.
As production step we have defined our work center "Assembly".
Despite the warning, we release the production order.
After saving, the production order is created.
In the next step, we need to transfer the necessary components from our WM storage location to our production storage location in the "Stage Materials for Production" app.
We mark SLoc Level, enter our production order number in the "Production/Process Orders" tab and start the transaction.
Note: Selection Horizon for Reqmts date should/must be in the future.
Below we can see our missing components.
By selecting the two lines and clicking on "Replenishment Elements" and then on "Replenishment Proposals", the replenishment will be proposed to us by the system.
In this step we have to mark the two lines below and click on "Stage". But in order to see what happens in the background, we have to check "Menu -> Global Settings -> Dialog -> Display message log automatically".
After we click on Stage, the status is green at the top and now we can save. After that, Outbound delivery form a WM storage location will be created for us.
Note: Do not forget to click on "Exit", otherwise the outbound order will not be created.
Now we need to go to the “Run Outbound Process – Production” app to provide our components to the production location.
We will now create Warehouse Tasks for this purpose.
The warehouse tasks must now be confirmed. For both components, fixed storage bins are assigned, control cycles are defined and now moved to the storage bin "PROD-SUPPLY".
Since the TG20_SerialA material is serial numbered, we have to enter the serial numbers in our delivery.
Now we click on "Goods Issue”.
Here we see that the status is 100%. This means, it has been performed successfully.
In the Stock Overview you can see the overview with 2 pieces with the respective materials for 101B.
Next, we need to perform our production operations. To do this, we go to the "Confirm Production Operation" app.
We look for our production order and the corresponding operation. Then we click on "Post and Complete".
Since we are working with serial numbers, we need to search for our production order in the "Post Goods Movment" app under Goods Issue -> Order.
In the tab "Serial Numbers" for the material TG20_SerialA we have to enter the serial numbers. Without having to go into the delivery order, we can use the search icon to find respective serial numbers.
Now we can post consumption for both products.
In the Stock Overview you can see that the consumption has been successfully posted and there is no more stock in the production storage location 101B.
Next, we go to the "Post Goods Receipt for Production Order" app and search for our production order. Then we click on "Post".
This completes our Production Integration process with IM-Managed PSA with WM.
First, let's take a look at our Work Center. The most important part is the Supply Area. The PSA_01 is defined for an IM-managed PSA production process.
Next, we look at the app "Create Control Cycle for WM". We define our Supply Area "PSA_01" for the material RM20 as well as for TG20_SerialA.
The important parameters are Destination and Source. As source we have our WM storage location and as destination our production storage location, which is IM-managed.
The next step is to define the Production Supply Area.
We mark the relevant line and have a look at the details.
The Storage Location is defined as 101B. This shows that this production supply area is located in 101B.
Under "Change Material App" in the "MRP 2" tab, it is important to enter 105W as the Production Storage Location. This indicates that this component will be supplied from this storage location for production. This step must be performed for both components.
We define for our final product "TG20_SerialC_P the Production Storage Location which is 101B.
These are the necessary steps that must be performed to accomplish production integration with an IM-Managed PSA.
Next, let's look at the WM-Managed PSA and the required configuration steps.
We enter our material and production plant.
In total we will manufacture again 2 pieces of the material TG20_SerialC_P.
In the tab "Goods Receipt" we enter our production storage location "105W" as location.
Here we find an overview of the components and from which storage location they are withdrawn.
As a production step, we have defined our Work Center "Assembly". Then we click on "Release Order" and press "Save".
A production order is now created.
Next, we need to provide the necessary components from our WM storage location in the "Stage Materials for Production" app.
We check EWM Rel. Parts and EWM Pick Parts, enter our production order number in the tab "Production/Process Orders" and start the transaction. Note: Selection Horizon for Reqmts the date should/must be in the future.
Now we see our missing components.
By checking the two lines and clicking on "Replenishment Elements" and then on "Replenishment Proposals", the system will propose a replenishment.
In this step we now have to mark the two lines below and click on "Stage"". But in order to see what happens in the background, we have to activate "Menu -> Global Settings -> Dialog -> Display message log automatically".
After selecting the Replenishment elements and clicking on Stage, the status switch to green at the top and now we can save. After that, a Posting Change Item will be created. Now click on "Exit".
Now we go to the “Process Posting Change Item” app.
Here we find our Posting Change Item and select both lines. Now create two Warehouse Tasks.
Below we mark our created Warehouse Tasks and confirm them. Thus, both components have been provided to our storage bin PROD-SUPPLY-2 for production.
In the "Warehouse Monitor" app under "Stock and Bin -> Storage Bin" we can see under PROD-SUPPLY-2 that both components are stored in this storage bin.
Next, we need to perform our production operations. To do this, we go to the "Confirm Production Operation" app.
To do this, we look for our production order and the corresponding operation. Then click on "Post and Complete".
Next, we go to the "Post Goods Receipt for Production Order" app and search for our production order. Then we click on "Post".
Now an inbound delivery is created. The inbound delivery is processed under "Change Inbound Deliveries - Production".
First, we click on "Goods Receipt". Then we create a Warehouse Task for this purpose.
The Warehouse Tasks are then processed in the app "Process Warehouse Tasks".
We select our Warehouse Task and click on "Confirm".
In the app "Warehouse Monitor" under "Stock and Bin -> Physical Stock" we can find our stored product.
With that our Production Integration process with WM-Managed PSA with WM has been performed and completed.
First, let's take a look at our Work Center. The important thing here is the Supply Area. The PSA_02 is defined for a WM-Managed PSA production process.
Note: If you do not change the supply area, then in production order the wrong storage location will be found and the app stage materials for production will not work.
Next, we look at the app "Create Control Cycle for WM". We define our Supply Area "PSA_02" for the material RM20 as well as for TG20_SerialA.
Important are the Destination and Source. As Source and as Destination we have our WM storage location, which is our production storage location.
The next step is to define the Production Supply Area.
We mark the relevant line and look at the details.
The Storage Location is defined as 105W. This shows that this production supply area is located in the 105W.
Under "Change Material App" in the "MRP 2" tab, it is important to enter 105W as the Production Storage Location. This indicates that this component will be provided from this storage location for production. This step must be performed for both components.
We define for our final product "TG20_SerialC_P as Production Storage Location 105W.

In conclusion, both processes have their advantages and disadvantages. To what degree, which process is best suited for one, is individual. The process itself is the same, but there are some differences in the WM-Managed PSA. For example, no outbound delivery is created, but a Posting Change Item. The additional step Post Goods Receipt via an Inbound Delivery is also omitted.
I hope that I could bring some light into the darkness with this. Have fun testing!
