Stock Transfer between StorageLocations 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 andanother one is a Storage from which the goods is issued to Sales. Both the storage locations are locatedgeographically a little far away one from the other. So whenever the stock level goes below certain limit atthe 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 tosee how to capture this Scenario in SAP ECC.

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: 00

Purchase Organization: 001

Vendor: 21

Shipping Points: 1300, MM01

Material: X_SLOC_MAT

Material 'X_SLOC_MAT' is maintained in both the storage locations (SMM1 and SMM2) of the Plant 1300.

Material is maintained for both the MRP Areas. In the ZSMM2 MRP area, the MRP type is set as 'VB'

(Manual Reorder Point Planning). The lot size procedure is set as HB (Replenish to Maximum Stock level)

and the Maximum Stock level is set as 30 EA.

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 shippingprocessing to identify the goods recipient (ship-to party) if provision has been made in Customizing for astock 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 shippingpoint).





© 2011 SAP AG 7

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 certaincombination 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 standardsystem, 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 certaincombination of supplying plant, issuing storage location, and document type. In addition, you can specifywhich 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 thecombination required for our Scenario. (Document Type: UB, Supplying Plant: 1300, Issuing Storagelocation: 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 transportorder covering a stock transfer between two storage locations. The data is as follows:

1. Sales organization

2. Distribution channel

3. Division

4. Goods recipientThe 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, anddivision). 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 bedone.

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 determinedsolely 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 pointdetermination).

For the Delivery Type 'NL' assigned at the Plant level, the rule determines Shipping point without consideringStorage location. And for the Delivery Type 'ZNL' assigned at the Storage Location level, the ruledetermines 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, storagelocation, shipping condition and loading group.

Process:

Run MRP at the MRP Area 'ZSMM2' level

In the transaction MD02, Enter the material, Plant and MRP Area. Enter twice to run the MRP.

Access the Stock/ Requirement List (MD04) to view the MRP results. Purchase Requisition is created for 16EA to replenish the stock to the Maximum Stock level of 20 EA.





© 2011 SAP AG 12

Convert the Purchase Requisition to Stock Transfer Order:

From the Stock/ Requirement List (MD04), click the Details button on the Purchase Requisition line. In the

pop up, Click the button '--> Purchase Order'.

'Create Purchase Order' Screen will appear. In the right hand side screen, select the Order Type 'UB - Stock

transport Order'. Enter the Purchase Organization '1000', Company Code '1000' and the Issuing Plant '1300'.

In the left hand side screen, select the PR number and click 'Adopt' button. All the PR details will be copiedto the Purchase Order.





© 2011 SAP AG 13

In the Item Sub screen, scroll to the right and enter the Issuing Storage Location. Press Enter.

Make sure that the Shipping Point 'MM01' is determined according to the settings maintained to determineshipping point according to the Storage Location. We can also see the Customer number updated from thePlant- Shipping Point settings.

Save the Purchase Order. Note down the PO number: 4500017471

Refresh the Stock Requirement List. The PR is replaced with the PO created. We can see that the issuingstorage location is updated as SMM1.

Check the Stock Requirement List for the Issuing Storage Location SMM1. We can see the Requirement'Confirmation Release (ConRel)' for the Purchase Order.





© 2011 SAP AG 14

Create Outbound Delivery for the Purchase Order:

In the transaction VL10B, enter the Shipping Point 'MM01' and in the Purchase Order tab, enter the PO

number 4500017471. Click 'Execute'.

Select the Purchase Order line displayed and click the 'Create Delivery in the Background' button.

Once the delivery is created, one more line will appear with green signal. Select the Second line and click

'Log for delivery creation' button.

In the Delivery Creation Log, select the line and click 'Document' button.

We can see the created OB Delivery number. Note down the Out bound Delivery number: 80015346





© 2011 SAP AG 15

Click 'Display Document' to display the Delivery document.

Document Flow:

Go to the Purchase Order and check that the Purchase Order History is updated with the created OutboundDelivery number.

Check the MD04 for the Issuing Storage location for the update with Delivery number.





© 2011 SAP AG 16

Post Goods Issue for the Outbound Delivery:

In the transaction VL02N, enter the delivery number and press 'Enter'.

In the Picking tab, enter the Picked Quantity and press 'Enter'. Make sure that the Overall Pick Status is

updated as 'Fully Picked'.

Post the Goods Issue.

Check the Status in the Delivery for the success of the Goods Issue.





© 2011 SAP AG 17

In the Issuing Storage Location, we can see the stock got reduced by 16 EA and the same is appearing as

'Stock In-Transit'. Similarly the Delivery is disappeared from the MD04 List.

We can see the same Stock In-Transit Quantity in the receiving Storage Location also.

Check the Purchase Order History to see the Material Document number. The movement type used is 641.





© 2011 SAP AG 18

Check the material document that there are no FICO documents created since the stock transfer ishappening within the same plant.





© 2011 SAP AG 19

Post the Goods Receipt for the Purchase Order:

In the transaction MIGO, post the GR for the Purchase Order.

Check that the Receiving Storage Location stock is increased and the PO line is disappeared. Similarly the

Stock In-Transit Quantity also disappeared.

Check the PO history and the Material Document.





© 2011 SAP AG 21

Automatic Delivery Creation:

We can automate the process of creating Outbound Delivery for the Purchase Order. While creating and

saving the Purchase Order, the system will automatically create the Delivery and update that in the Purchase

Order History. For that we need to do few customizing settings.

Setting up Automatic Delivery Creation:

Prerequisite: Refer the SAP OSS note: 1069488

In the transaction /nVL10CUC, choose the delivery creation profile 'STOA' and uncheck the indicator 'Georoute'.

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).

SPRO > MM > Purchasing > PO > Set up STO > Activate Automatic Delivery Creation for PO Type andShipping Point





© 2011 SAP AG 22

Create Stock Transport Order and check the Automatic Delivery creation:

In the transaction ME21N, create a Stock Transport Order between the storage locations of the same Plant.

Make sure that the determined Shipping point is 'MM01'.

Save the STO. Note down the STO number: 4500017472

Exit the transaction

Check the created STO in the transaction ME23N. Purchase Order History is updated with the Outbound

Delivery number.





© 2011 SAP AG 23

Display the Outbound Delivery.

Thus the creation of the Outbound Delivery for the Stock transfer Order can be automated.
