Processing the Posting Change Notice

To process posting change notices in WM to release goods from inspection

  1. Choose Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Internal Warehouse Processes ® PostChange ® via Inventory Management ® Transfer Order ® Create ® From List of Posting Changes from the SAP menu.
  2. On the initial screen, enter Q in the Stock category field, a movement type (321 in the standard system) and choose ENTER .
  3. Select the posting change notice you want to process from the list displayed.
  4. To process selected posting change notices, choose Environment ® Create transfer order.
  5. Select the storage types from which materials will be selected for the posting change.
  6. To display a quant list for the selected storage types, choose   Quant list (at the bottom of the screen).

    The system displays the Quant List screen with two tabs: Available stock and Unavailable for Post.Chge. (If there are no available quants, the system will only display the Stock Overview screen for the material.)

    Stock that is unavailable for posting changes is listed in the Unavailable for Post.Chge tab. In this list, a reason that the status cannot be changed (such as, blocked for inspection) is indicated in one of the columns.

  7. In the Available stock tab, you enter the quantities for the posting change. You should enter quantities that add up to exactly the same amount as the quantity listed in the Open quantity field near the top of the posting change notice. You can also select one or more storage bins and the Calculate button at the bottom of the screen to allow the system to enter the correct quantities for you.
  8. For an individual item, you can process the entire quantity or enter a quantity in the Selected quantity column which is less than the quantity shown for an existing quant.

    If you do not want to leave the material in the same bin, deselect the Post to same bin column (the system selects this column as a default).

    Normally you can enter any quantity in the Selected quantity field. In a bulk storage area that is managed for storage units, if only part of the available quantity in a storage bin is to be processed for a posting change, you must change to the view that displays the stock for each storage unit.

    There are two options:

    a) You can enter the total Available quantity in the storage bin as the quantity to be converted (Selected quantity).

    b) You can select the bulk storage bin and choose the button Display bulk storage quants at the bottom of the screen. The system then displays the stock in the bulk storage bin for each storage unit separately. In this display view of the bulk storage stock, you can select individual quants and process a posting change for only part of a storage unit.

  9. You process the posting change by creating a transfer order.
  10. Choose  Edit  ®   Process in foreground or  Edit  ®   Process in background.

    For each selected quant the system creates two transfer order items. The first item removes the material to be cleared. This item is always created in the background. The second item replaces the material that was removed.

    If the material is to remain in the same bin, the second item is also created in the background. If the material is to be transferred at the same time, you have the option to create the second item in either the foreground or the background.

    The system selects the TO item created column to indicate that a transfer order was created.

  11. To complete the process, choose  Posting change  ®   Post.
  12. The system displays a message that identifies the number of the newly created transfer order.

  13. Confirm the transfer order to complete the processing of the posting change notice.

Once you have confirmed the transfer order, the system clears the posting change area (interim storage area).
