Post Change 

Use

This function enables you to change posted waste quantities from Waste Management in inventory management in the SAP Materials Managementcomponent.

Prerequisites

·        You have processed the IMG activity Set Inventory Management in Waste Management in Customizing for Waste Management and specified the required movement types.

·        In the material master of the waste, you have entered the required data for the organizational units (plant and storage location, for example) to which data is to be posted. This means, you must have created at least the General Plant Data / Storage 1 view for the organizational units.

·        The entry documents whose waste quantities are to be posted do not contain any storage bin data (warehouse number, storage type, or storage bin).

·        You have posted the waste quantities to inventory management, in other words you have executed the post function for the entry documents.

Features

You can change the following posted data:

·        You can transfer the posted waste quantity between storage locations within a plant and between storage locations in different plants (see Transfer Posting: From Plant to Plant).

·        You can transfer the posted waste quantity between stock types.

Other types of transfer postings (such as material to material or valuation type to valuation type) are not supported.

We recommend that you do not use this function to transfer a posting from a storage location that is not linked to Warehouse Management (Warehouse Management System) to a storage location that is linked to Warehouse Management, in other words that has been assigned a warehouse number there. Although this is possible, you would have to make extensive settings in Customizing for Warehouse Management, which are not delivered in standard Customizing.

If you have posted an entry document without storage bin data and you then want to post the waste quantity to a storage bin in Warehouse Management after all, cancel the material documents that were created from the entry document, add the storage bin data to the entry document, and then execute the post function again for the entry document.

A material document that documents the changed posting and a follow-on document record are created (see Automatic Creation of Follow-On Document Records).

When you change posted data, you can specify whether the start of the maximum storage period is to be updated (Upd. stor. strt indicator), for example if a maximum permitted storage period begins again as a result of stock being transferred. The system then adopts the current system date as the new start of the maximum storage period (see Monitoring of the Maximum Permitted Storage Period).

For more information about posted changes, see the Inventory Management documentation.

The entry documents are given a defined status that depends on the settings you made in Customizing. They must have a particular status so that you can execute this function. For more information, see Setting Entry Document Statuses.
