Special Stock Movements (Store) (SAP Library

Special Stock Movements (Store)

Purpose

This business process allows you to process store transactions that are purely goods movements (that is, not involving financial transactions) via the point of sale (POS). This applies to your own stock and to rack-jobber stock.

In addition to actual sales, other transactions are handled at the point of sale which involve purely goods movements; that is, they only involve Inventory Management and not Financial Accounting. These goods movements have to be entered in the Inventory Management system. Some examples are:

Withdrawal for own use

This would be the withdrawal of an article for your own consumption (for example cleaning material to clean your store) or for further processing. Withdrawal for own use is posted to a cost center or a merchandise account.

Breakage/Spoilage/Weight loss

This could involve merchandise that was spoiled or broken at some point in the logistics chain.

Theft
Stock transfers

A stock transfer is the movement of goods between sites.

Process Flow

The goods movements are entered in an external POS system or distributed retailing system (DRS) outside of SAP Retail. Data required includes the article identification, the quantity, the cost center to be debited or the receiving site.

The data is made available to the POS interface - inbound in the central system (SAP Retail).

The R/3 system finds the values and accounts relevant to the stock postings and then makes the postings.

Note

Processing in the head office is triggered automatically. The processing status can be displayed at any time via the POS monitor.

Notes and Remarks

For information on special stock movements, please see the inbound and conversion information in the POS inbound section of the implementation guide (IMG).

The store must be configured for inbound processing.
