Hi Jeurgen
Thank you for the detailed response.
As we have no physical area to replenish the fixed bins from within the same destination plant/warehouse as the fixed bins, then we will not be adopting the fixed bin replenishment option. Thank you for clarifying that for me. However, I will still maintain the fixed bin in the material master in order to speed up goods receipt/putaway.
Therefore, in order to generate a demand in the destination plant/warehouse I will create safety stocks for the fixed bin materials. I can use the material master rounding value as the replenishment quantity also.
This will generate the necessary demand for the source plant/warehouse to supply the destination plant/warehouse as I will set up the special procurement key to 'get from other plant'
I will use stock transport POs (UB's) to supply the destination plant from the source plant.
This will allow stocks to be sourced from external plant if the bin quantity drops below the safety stock level.
I will now have to look in to a way of combining stock transport POs from the source plant in order to make the picking process easier.
I may explore the option of using material staging cross plant with production order backflushing in the future, but that's for another post!
Many thanks again
Please respond if I have may errors in my process
