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can be withdrawn only for the WBS element.
- returnable transport packaging
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.
