Before Usage Decision: Sample Destroyed 

The stock placement in WM is to take place before the usage decision in QM is made. The inspection sample quantity is destroyed during the inspection.

SAP Recommendation:

  1. Post a goods receipt for the purchase order.

    2. In WM, the stock is posted to an interim storage bin using dynamic coordinates (purchase order number) with a corresponding stock placement transfer requirement. These goods have the stock category "Q" and an inspection lot number.

  2. Create a transfer order for the transfer requirement in WM.

    3. The system displays a dialog box in which you decide what is to be done with the inspection sample quantity.

    In the above example, you can use both the option "Sample remains in GR area " as well as the option "Transfer to sample storage bin ".

    A stock placement transfer order for the quantity of 90 pieces is created.

    The inspection lot number is copied into the quants, the stock category in these quants remains unchanged at "Q".

  3. Make a usage decision in QM.

    4. Release 90 pieces to available stock. When you execute the IM posting, the system creates interim storage quants and a posting change notice in WM.

    Designate 10 pieces as a goods issue to inspection sample. The quantity is removed from the storage bin entered in the inspection lot and if a transfer requirement exists, this is canceled.

  4. Create a transfer order for the posting change notice in WM.

The stock category is changed from "Q" to blank in the quants in the warehouse (90 pieces).

If you activate automatic transfer order creation for movement type 321, this process is initiated in the background directly from the usage decision.
