Posting a stock transfer in two steps involves the following:

• In the first step, you enter the removal from storage at the issuing storage location.
• In the second step, you enter the placement into storage at the receiving storage location.

In the two-step procedure, you can only transfer material from the unrestricted-use stock of the issuing storage location into the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving storage location. Reservations are not possible with this procedure.

After posting the removal from storage, the quantity is deducted from the issuing storage location. The quantity is managed in the stock at the receiving storage location (not in unrestricted-use stock, but in stock in transfer). Also at plant level, the quantity is not available for unrestricted use.

When the goods are actually received at the receiving storage location, the quantity is taken over from stock in transfer into unrestricted-use stock.

Damage that occurs during transport and that leads to scrapping of the goods must be reported in the system, so that the transfer stock can be corrected accordingly. You can do this in two ways:

Which method you select is not important for valuation of the scrapped quantity, since the material is not valuated at storage location level.
