Within the stock transfer procedure, goods are produced and delivered within a company. The plant which is to receive the goods (receiving plant) orders the goods internally from another plant which is in a position to deliver the goods (delivering plant). The dependent requirements for the components to be to be transferred are determined in the receiving plant.
Over and above the normal procedures for transferring stock using transport requisitions, orders and delivery schedules (see MM Managing Special Stocks and Forms of Special Procurement Types), you can also instruct the system to transfer stock from one plant to another automatically during planning via the special procurement type, stock transfer.
Special procurement types are defined in Customizing according to plant, procurement type, and special procurement type and are allocated to the material in the material master record. For materials that are included in multi-plant planning with stock transfer, a material master record with the appropriate special procurement type must be maintained in all plants involved. The following standard settings are pre-set for the special procurement types in Customizing:
Customizing | Procurement type | External procurement |
"Stock transfer" | Special procurement | Stock transfer |
| Special procurement type | 40 - stock transfer |
The following example demonstrates the stock transfer procedure.
In plant 0001, a material receives the special procurement key, stock transfer. This specifies that the material is to be procured from another plant (for example, from plant 0002). A requirement which arises in plant 0001 is then covered by stock from plant 0002.
The following happens during the planning run: on detecting a shortage in plant 0001, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition for a stock transfer in plant 0001 and a release order for the purchase requisition in plant 0002. The date of the release order is determined during scheduling. When the stock transport requisition is converted into a stock transport order, the release order in plant 0002 is automatically converted into a reservation.
Procurement is carried out in the delivering plant. The removal from storage of the ordered quantity is carried out by a transfer posting with reference to the release order. The movement type here is, Transfer posting ® Plant to plant ® To stock in transit Stock in transit is the quantity of a material which was withdrawn from the warehouse of the delivering plant but which has not yet been received by the receiving plant. In the receiving plant, a goods receipt is posted for the stock transfer order on receipt of the goods and the stock in transit is entered into the warehouse of plant 0001.
Please note the planning sequence of the various plants during the planning run. Delivering plants are planned after the receiving plants so that all requirements quantities are taken into account.
If for a particular material, special procurement types for stock transfer have been saved in two plants that refer to each other, then once the system has planned both plants, it goes back and plans the first one again.
