Function documentationTransfer of Floor Stock Return and Scrap Data

 

This function enables the transfer of floor stock return and scrap data from SAP ME to SAP ERP to support the following scenarios:

Shop Order-Independent Floor Stock

  • Returns components to central storage location

    SAP ERP posts goods movement of the type 312, the reversal of a one-step transfer posting (see Goods Movement).

  • Scraps components

    SAP ERP posts scrapping movement of the type 551.

Production Order-Specific Floor Stock

  • Returns the Production shop order components

    SAP ERP reverses a goods issue of the production order components with movement type 262.

  • Scraps the Production shop order components

    SAP ERP reverses a goods issue of the production order components with movement type 262, then posts a scrapping movement (type 551).

Integration

  • SAP ERP is the system of record for inventory management; SAP ME is the system of record for floor stock management.

  • SAP MII is used as the connector between the SAP ME Maintain Floor Stock activity and the SAP ERP floor stock control process for returning inventory and scrap.

Prerequisites

SAP ME

  • You have received floor stock data from SAP ERP (see Transfer of Floor Stock Data).

  • You have reviewed activity rule settings for Maintain Floor Stock in Activity Maintenance (see Maintain Floor Stock).

  • You have verified that reason codes that begin with the proper prefix have been created in Reason Code Maintenance (Reason Code Maintenance):

    • RTN- for return to floor stock (goods movement type 262 or 312)

    • SCR- for component scrap (goods movement type 551)

  • You have verified that the COST_CENTER custom data field for the Reason Code category has been created in Custom Data Maintenance (Custom Data Maintenance). For each reason code, set the COST_CENTER value to the desired SAP ERP cost center for floor stock returned from SAP ME.

SAP ERP

You have created a cost center for reporting material scrap quantities.

Activities

When you decrease the value of the Qty on Hand field for an inventory ID, enter a reason code and choose Save in SAP ME Maintain Floor Stock, SAPMEINT sends a message to SAP ERP to post the corresponding goods movements.

If the reason code has the prefix RTN-, the component quantity is returned to SAP ERP Central Stores. If the reason code has the prefix SCR-, the component quantity is scrapped.
