Background documentationPrerequisites: Processes with Valuated Stock in Transit Locate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

In the case of stock transfers between plants that belong to different company codes, the company codes must belong to the same client.

In Customizing, you must have created document types for the processes with valuated stock in transit, and made assignments to the delivered delivery types.

  • Defining Document Types

    Stock transfer and returns stock transfer:

    For each stock transfer process and its return, you have defined a corresponding document type in Customizing for Materials Management, under   Purchasing   Purchase Order   Define Document Types  .

    You can define these as follows: Cross-company-code and intra-company-code stock transfers use the same document types. The system differentiates between the two using the vendor's master data. The same document types are also used for cross-company-code returns stock transfers. However, for Customizing reasons, intra-company-code returns processes have their own document types.

    You can use document type Standard Purchase Order (NB) as a template, and tailor it to your requirements.

    You have, for example, the following document types:

    • Cross-company-code and intra-company-code stock transfer and cross-company-code return

      Stock transfer with transfer of title at goods issue: NBCR

      Stock transfer with transfer of title at goods receipt: NBC2

      Stock transfer with transfer of title during transit: NBC3

    • Intra-company-code return

      Return with transfer of title at goods receipt: NBRR

      Return with transfer of title at goods issue: NBR2

      Return with transfer of title during transit: NBR3

    Customer delivery:

    For the outbound delivery you have defined the corresponding document type in Customizing for Sales and Distribution, under   Sales   Sales Documents   Sales Document Header   Define Sales Document Types  .

    You can use sales document type Standard Order (TA) as a template, and tailor it to your requirements.

    You have, for example, the following sales document type for transfer of title at the customer location: ORNC
