Recommendation

If DRF is not activated, transfer either 311 or 261 movements to SAP ME when required. For information about SAP ERP versions supporting DRF, see SAP Note 1793291.

You can restrict movements transferred to SAP ME in the Distribution Model (see Customizing for ALE for Communication with SAP ME). If unrestricted, undesired floor stock may be sent to SAP ME.
