  Internal Stock Transfers

Purpose

With this warehouse process, you can execute the following warehouse-internal product movements in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM):

  • Ad hoc movement

  • Replenishment

  • Warehouse reorganization

Process

The following graphic shows you a sample description for the flow of an internal stock movement.

  1. Either you create a warehouse request manually in EWM using the user interface, or EWM does this automatically.

  2. When the wave is released, EWM creates the corresponding warehouse tasks (WTs), which reduce the planned open quantity for internal goods movement and block the product.

    When EWM creates WTs, it simultaneously determines from which stock it fulfills the warehouse request. By creating WTs as late as possible, EWM also blocks the necessary stock of the product as late as possible.

  3. You process the WTs and confirm them.

  4. EWM updates the warehouse request.

  5. EWM closes the warehouse request if one of the following options applies:

    • The reduced quantityrepresents the target quantity of the warehouse request.

      The quantity offsetting notifies you at the same time that the open quantity is zero.

    • The quantity reduced by the confirmed WTs does not represent the target quantity of the warehouse request. However, you specify process codes for the difference quantities. Quantity offsetting takes these into account.

WTs for warehouse-internal processes move products from one storage bin to another. They therefore contain a putaway and picking step at the same time, whereas the process step Load , for example, is omitted.

Result

You have executed an internal stock movement.

EWM has created, updated and closed the corresponding warehouse request.
