Post Change (SAP Library - EH&S Waste Management)

Post Change

Use

This function enables you to change posted waste quantities from Waste Management in inventory management in the SAP Materials Management component.

Prerequisites

You have processed the IMG activity Set Inventory Management in Waste Management in Customizing for Waste Management and specified the required movement types.

In the material master for the waste, you have entered the required data for the organizational units (plant and storage location, for example) to which data is to be posted. This means that you have created at least the General Plant Data / Storage 1 view for the organizational units.

The entry documents whose waste quantities are to be posted do not contain any storage bin data (warehouse number, storage type, or storage bin).

You have posted the waste quantities to inventory management, in other words you have executed the post function for the entry documents.

Features

You can change the following posted data:

You can transfer the posted waste quantity between storage locations within a plant and between storage locations in different plants (see Transfer Posting: Plant to Plant).

You can transfer the posted waste quantity between stock types.

Other types of transfer postings (such as material to material or valuation type to valuation type) are not supported.

Recommendation

We recommend that you do not use this function to transfer a posting from a storage location that is not linked to Warehouse Management to a storage location that is linked to Warehouse Management, in other words that has been assigned a warehouse number there. Although this is possible, you would have to make extensive settings in Customizing for Warehouse Management, which are not delivered in standard Customizing.

Note

If you have posted an entry document without storage bin data and then want to post the waste quantity to a storage bin in Warehouse Management after all, proceed as follows:

Cancel the material documents that have been created from the entry document.

Add the storage bin data to the entry document.

Execute the post function for the entry document again.

A material document, which documents the changed posting, is created.

When you change posted data, you can specify whether the start of the maximum storage period is to be updated (Upd. stor. strt indicator), for example if a maximum permitted storage period begins again as a result of waste being transferred. The system then adopts the current system date as the new start of the maximum storage period (see Monitoring of the Maximum Permitted Storage Period).

A follow-on document record is created (see Automatic Creation of Follow-On Document Records).

For more information about changing posted data, see the inventory management documentation.
