To place manufactured goods into stock from the warehouse

In this example, we are merely concerned with an actual physical stock placement procedure in contrast to the above example where the received goods were posted in the Inventory Management system. This involves the confirmation of preplanned transfer orders (TOs). These transfer orders must have been generated, printed and sent to the production plant beforehand in the system. The pallets sent to the warehouse from the production plant should, in this case, be accompanied by a transfer order document.

The standard IDoc WMTOID01 must be used. The TO document, including the barcode, is implemented as standard. The quantities placed into stock in the WM system are accumulated as an offsetting entry in an interim storage type. The goods are only made available for planning and the interim storage stock balanced when the goods receipt (GR) is posted in the Inventory Management system.

The advantage of this is that the number of GR postings can be drastically reduced as the quantities are posted cumulatively.
