Plant/Storage Location to Plant/Storage Location
Usage
For stock transfer from plant to plant and storage location to storage location, you have three options available:
When two different warehouses, for example, are assigned to two separate WMS storage locations, this type of transfer is processed the same as a goods issue (and subsequent pick) in the issuing warehouse and as a goods receipt (and subsequent putaway) in the receiving warehouse.
If materials are transferred within the same WMS warehouse which is assigned to two separate WMS storage locations, it is handled as a plant to plant posting change. For this type of stock transfer, see
Carrying out the Transfer
Stock transfers that involve the movement of materials from one storage location to another storage location are first processed using the Inventory Management component. In IM, the transfer of stock from one storage location to another storage location is processed as a transfer posting. Unlike most such changes, however, no posting change notice appears in the WM system.
Only one storage location can be managed in one warehouse number at a time in WMS. It depends upon which storage location is being managed at the time as to whether a putaway or a pick will take place.
To clear the stock transfer you must create and confirm a new transfer order based on the material document which was originated in IM.
There are two ways to process a stock transfer from one storage location to another storage location:
If you process stock transfers by selecting them from a list of transfer requirements, materials that are being transferred out to another storage location are listed as a pick (movement type 311 in the standard system) to the stock transfer interim storage area (storage type 921 in the standard system).
When a transfer order has been created from a transfer requirement and confirmed, the negative quant in the stock transfer interim storage area is cleared from WMS.
