Purpose

Characteristic for both processes is the switch of SAP R/3 system. An exception to this is consignment processing in situations with one system. This is displayed as a stock transfer (PO type ‘NB’) without unchecked delivery. You can find further details on these processes in the process descriptions Cross-System Stock Transfer (Intra-Company-Code), Cross-System Stock Transfer (Cross-Company-Code), and Consignment.

Prerequisites
