Use: The issue storage location must already have been determined for the pull list by MRP (because the system does not take dependent requirements into account without an entry for a issue storage location): Here, the system first searches for the issue storage location in the BOM item of the component (field Issue storage location). If no storage location is maintained in the BOM item, the MRP group of the assembly determines whether the issue storage location from the material master record of the component or from the production version of the assembly is to be used (strategy for issue storage location selection). This strategy is defined per MRP group in Customizing for Repetitive Manufacturing in work step Define Storage Location and Supply Area Determination in BOM Explosion.
?Storage location = 1: The system adopts the issue storage location in the components' material master record as the issue storage location. You can use this procedure when there is a predefined storage location for each component in the plant.
?Storage location = 2: The system uses the proposed issue storage location in the production version of the finished assembly or product as the issue storage location for all components. If a proposed issue storage location has not been maintained, then the system adopts the assembly's
receiving storage location as the issue storage location for all components. You can specify the receiving storage location via the Receiving storage location field in the assembly's production version or via the Issue storage location field in the assembly's material master. If no entry is maintained, you can define the receiving storage location at backflush. This will then be used as the issue storage location for the components. You should use indicator 2 when all components are stored together in a storage location near the production line where they are required.
?Storage location = 3: Initially as for indicator 1. If the system finds no storage location here, it proceeds as described under indicator 2.
?Storage location = 4: As indicator 3 but with reversed sequence.
?If no MRP group has been maintained for the assembly/finished product, the system reads the entry in the field Issue storage location in the material master of the component as the issue storage location for all components.
