Purpose

This business process allows you to post the transfer of merchandise between different organizational units in two steps.

Goods movements are made in a company not only in the form of goods receipts and goods issues. Depending on how the company is organized (such as decentralized storage) or on the sales and distribution policies of the company, stock sometimes has to be transferred within the company. This has to be mapped in the system.

Stock transfers can be posted at various levels:

A stock transfer always comprises the posting of a goods issue from one organizational unit (storage location, site or company code) and the posting of a goods receipt in another (storage location, site or company code).

With stock transfers using the transfer posting procedure in two steps, the goods receipt and goods issue are entered and posted in the system in two steps.

Postings are only made in Inventory Management; that is, no purchase orders or deliveries are generated.

The transfer of stock in two steps is only suitable for retailers in special cases (such as when stock is being transferred between stores).

Prerequisites

If you are transferring stock from site to site and the article is subject to split valuation in the receiving site, you can only post the transfer posting using the single step procedure or via a stock transport order.

Process Flow

  1. Choose a stock transfer type:
  1. You enter the issuing organizational unit, receiving unit, article and quantity.
  1. If the article is subject to split valuation, you enter the valuation type (such as promotion stock or standard stock) in the issuing site.
  1. The system adopts any empties items.
  1. If you require, you can enter any returnable transport packaging (RTP).
  1. The system checks the availability of the article.
  1. You post goods issue in the issuing site and print the goods issue/receipt slip if required.
  1. You remove the stock from the issuing organizational unit. If Warehouse Management is active, the stock removal process in the issuing organizational unit is supported by transfer orders.
  1. You enter the receiving organizational unit once the goods have arrived there.
  1. You post the goods receipt in the receiving organization unit and print the GR/GI slip if required.

If you do not use Warehouse Management, this process also includes the physical putaway of the goods.
