Sap Stock Transfer Between Storage Loc of Same Plant

Stock Transfer between Storage Locations of the Same Plant

Applies to: SAP ECC 6.0. For more information, visit the Supply Chain Management homepage.

Summary In some business cases, a Plant may have 2 different storage locations like one is a Bulk Storage and another one is a Storage from which the goods is issued to Sales. Both the storage locations are located geographically a little far away one from the other. So whenever the stock level goes below certain limit at the Sales Storage location, the material is replenished from the Bulk Storage. For this, we have to transfer stocks from one storage location to another storage location of the same Plant. In this demo, we are going to see how to capture this Scenario in SAP ECC. Author:

Stock Transfer between Storage Locations of the Same Plant

Stock Transfer between Storage Locations of the Same Plant Introduction: In some business cases, a Plant may have 2 different storage locations like one is a Bulk Storage and another one is a Storage from which the goods is issued to Sales. Both the storage locations are located geographically a little far away one from the other. So whenever the stock level goes below certain limit at the Sales Storage location, the material is replenished from the Bulk Storage. For this, we have to transfer stocks from one storage location to another storage location of the same Plant. In this demo, we are going to see how to capture this Scenario in SAP ECC. Process: The process starts from the MRP run at the Receiving storage location. The MRP will create a Purchase Requisition based on the settings maintained at the Material master level. The PR will be converted into Purchase Order to get the material from the Issuing Storage location (Bulk Storage location). The shipping point will be determined based on the Issuing Storage location. Then Outbound Delivery will be created with respect to the Purchase Order created and Goods Issue will be done for the Outbound Delivery. This will reduce the Stock from the Issuing storage location and we can find the stock as In-transit quantity. Good Receipt will be posted for the PO. This will reduce the In-Transit stock and increase the stock in the Receiving Storage Location.

Scenario Setup: Data used for the Scenario: Plant:

1300

Storage locations:

SMM1, SMM2

MRP Areas:

ZSMM1, ZSMM2

Customer:

90031

Sales Organization:

1000

Distribution Channel:

01

Division:

Stock Transfer between Storage Locations of the Same Plant

Check the initial stock level at both the Storage locations.

Set up Stock Transport Order: The following Configuration settings to be done, IMG -> MM -> Purchasing - >Purchase Order -> Set up Stock Transport Order Define Shipping Data for Plants In this step, you maintain the shipping data for plants for stock transfer processing. Here we maintain the customer number of the receiving plant. This customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the goods recipient (ship-to party) if provision has been made in Customizing for a stock transfer to be carried out with an SD delivery. We can also define the following for the supplying plant: 

Sales organization



Distribution channel



Division

With this data, the system determines the shipping data for the material to be transferred (e.g. the shipping point).

We also define the language in which the PO texts are to be maintained for the supplying plant.

Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule In this step, we specify whether an SD delivery is to be created in the case of a PO with a certain combination of supplying plant and document type. You can also specify which delivery type is to be used. The delivery type in Sales and Distribution (SD) determines how a delivery is handled. In the standard system, the delivery type 'NL' is used for stock transfers without a billing document. PS: This is the Plant level setting, whereas we will make same sort of setting at Storage Location level also.

Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations: The following Configuration settings to be done for Stock Transfer between Storage Locations, IMG -> MM -> Purchasing - >Purchase Order -> Set up Stock Transport Order -> Set up Stock Transfer between Storage Locations Activate Stock Transfer between Storage Locations In this step, we activate the 'Issuing Storage Location'. This will allow us to enter issuing storage locations in stock transport orders and stock transport scheduling agreements.

Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage Location In this work step, we specify whether a delivery is to be created in the case of a purchase order with a certain combination of supplying plant, issuing storage location, and document type. In addition, you can specify which type of delivery is to be used. A new delivery type 'ZNL' is created by copying the standard Delivery type 'NL'. This will be assigned to the combination required for our Scenario. (Document Type: UB, Supplying Plant: 1300, Issuing Storage location: SMM1, Delivery Type: ZNL and Checking Rule: 01)

Save the entries.

Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers between Storage Locations In this IMG activity, you can set up the shipping data for delivery processing in the case of a stock transport order covering a stock transfer between two storage locations. The data is as follows: 1. Sales organization 2. Distribution channel 3. Division 4. Goods recipient The system derives the necessary data for a delivery from the storage locations involved in the process. The sales area data is derived from the issuing storage location (sales organization, distribution channel, and division). The goods recipient is derived from the receiving storage location.

Shipping Point Determination according to Storage location: To determine the Shipping Point according to the Issuing Storage Location, the following settings are to be done. Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point This menu option enables us to define for each Delivery Type whether the shipping point is to be determined solely from the combination of plant, loading group, and shipping condition, or whether the storage location is additionally to be included in the determination process (storage-location-dependent shipping point determination). For the Delivery Type 'NL' assigned at the Plant level, the rule determines Shipping point without considering Storage location. And for the Delivery Type 'ZNL' assigned at the Storage Location level, the rule determines Shipping point using Storage location also.

Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location This menu option enables to assign the shipping points to the desired combinations of plant, storage location, shipping condition and loading group.

Activate Automatic Delivery Creation: In this step, we can activate the automatic delivery creation for the purchasing document type / plant combination. (UB/ 1300) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > PO > Set up STO > Activate Automatic Delivery Creation and CRM Billing

Activate Automatic Delivery Creation for PO Type and Shipping Point: In this step, we are restricting the automatic delivery creation with purchasing document type / shipping point combinations (UB/ MM01).
