Material Master: Enhancement of the Period Closing Program

Description

The period closing program now also takes the following special stocks into account in addition to the stocks and special stocks previously considered:

Quantity of a material in stock for carrying out a project. The project stock is firmly assigned to a WBS element. Components can be withdrawn only for the WBS element.
Medium for holding goods (for example, pallets or containers) that is reused several times over to transport ordered material between vendors and customers. Returnable transport packaging at the storage location, but belonging to the vendor, is managed as special stock and is clearly assigned to the respective vendor. It is the property of the vendor and does not therefore belong to valuated stock.

In addition, restricted-use stocks are also included in the period-closing program. These are the stock of a material to be handled in batches that is owned by your company and that is physically located at the warehouse and valuated, but nevertheless subject to restrictions on use. It is used only with active batch status management.

Changes in procedure

You continue to use the period closing program in the same way as before.
