Function documentationStock Transport Order for Materials with Segmentation Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can carry out stock transfers between storage locations within a plant, between different plants, and between company codes. You can transfer materials with segmentation between plants with different segmentation strategies. In such a scenario, you must define the mapping between the stock segment and the requirement segment of the plants involved.

Features

  • If both the receiving plant and the supplying plant are relevant for segmentation, the stock segment in the stock transport order is mapped to the corresponding requirement segment of the supplying plant. This mapping is based on the Customizing for Define Segmentation Strategies under   Logistics – General   Segmentation  .

  • If the supplying plant is relevant for segmentation and the receiving plant is not relevant for segmentation, the stock transport order does not have a stock segment. The system determines the requirement segment for the receiving plant in one of the following ways:

    • Priority 1: Based on the segment value assignment you define in the Customizing for Define Requirement Segment for Supplying Plants under   Logistics – General   Segmentation  .

    • Priority 2: If you do not define the segment value assignment in the Customizing activity Define Requirement Segment for Supplying Plants, the system uses the default stock segment maintained in the Customizing for Define Segmentation Structures under   Logistics – General   Segmentation  .

    • Priority 3: If the above options fail, the system determines the requirement based on the logic you define in the BAdI BADI_SEG_SPEC_PROD_MM (under   Logistics - General   Segmentation   Enhancements for Segmentation   BAdI: Segment Values in Purchase Order  .

  • If the supplying plant is not relevant for segmentation and the receiving plant is relevant for segmentation, the stock transport order has the stock segment value and the material is posted to the supplying plant without any segmentation value.
