Entering a Stock Transfer in the Two-Step Procedure
Use
If you transfer material in the two-step procedure, the material will first be posted in the stock in transfer of the receiving organizational unit when it is removed from storage from the issuing organizational unit. Not until you enter the placement in storage do you transfer post the material from the stock in transfer to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving organizational unit. Since it is therefore possible to carry materials as stock in transfer during the move time, the two-step procedure is mostly used for stock transfers between plants.
If you transfer materials between plants, accounting documents are created as long as the plants are assigned to different company codes. Only unrestricted-use stock to unrestricted-use stock can be transferred from plant to plant. Since the MRP works at plant level, stock transfers between plants are also always MRP relevant.

If you want to transfer separately valuated materials between plants, use the

Procedure
For an overview of the AFS-specific functions for stock transfers, please refer to the documentation on
Processing Possibilities at SKU Level. If you enter a stock transfer Plant to plant in two steps, do the following:Removal from Storage from the Issuing Plant
In inventory management choose Goods movement ® Transfer posting and then choose the movement type via Transfer posting ® Plant to plant ®
Rem.fm.stor.to plant (303). You can only remove unrestricted-use stock from storage.With the removal from storage, the material will be written in the
stock in transfer of the receiving plant and appears there in the stock overview at plant level. At this point in time, the system does not yet know the receiving storage location. Although the same AFS material is based on the same master grid in different plants, you can still work with different plant-specific coverage strategies. For this reason, categories will not be copied to the stock in transfer during the removal from stock.Placement in Storage in the Receiving Plant
You can enter the placement in storage in the receiving plant with or without reference to the stock removal document.
AFS Restrictions
Unlike the one-step procedure, in the two-step procedure from storage location to storage location you cannot transfer stock that ARun has already assigned to a sales order.
