Purchasing, Inv. Management: Availability Check in the Case of Stock Transport Requisitions/Orders

Description

Availability Check in the Case of Stock Transport Requisitions/Orders (for Inter-Plant Transfers of Stock)

As of Release 3.0, there is an availability check in the issuing plant for requisitions, orders and scheduling agreements involving stock transfers.

Following this availability check, the system may, for example, draw your attention to the fact that the desired material has already been reserved to meet other requirements (such as sales orders).

If the material to be transferred is unavailable, or available only in insufficient quantity, you have the option of displaying a screen showing the current availability situation.

Alternatively, you can have the system issue a message only, which you can define as a warning or error message on a user-specific basis.

Change system parameters in customizing

There are two ways of activating the availability check:

System message 06 450

Set the message to warning (W) or error (E) if you wish to activate the check. If no check is to take place, set the message to '_'.

Additional screen with availability situation

You have the option of displaying a screen with the current stock situation. This is controlled via the default values. Choose a default value, click on "fast processing", and set the "Detailed information" indicator in the "Availability check for stock transfers" area of the screen.
