Use

Warehouse Management (WM) manages negative stock in interim storage areas. If movements occur that require the use of interim storage areas, the stock balance between Inventory Management (IM) and WM must remain constant. This is made possible by posting negative stock.

The system posts negative stock when a goods receipt is posted in IM before the goods receipt posting, for example.

Procedure

You can define whether you want to allow negative stock by making the relevant settings for each storage type in Customizing.

  1. To do this, choose Logistics Execution ® Warehouse Management ® Interfaces ® Inventory Management ® Allow Negative Stocks in Interim Storage Types ® Allow negative stock for each storage type in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
  2. When the allow negative stock indicator is set, the system lets you post negative quants to the corresponding storage type.

Additionally, you can define whether you want the system to issue an error message (E) or a warning message (W) or no message (blank) when posting negative stock. You can make the relevant setting in the activity Control of System Messages in Warehouse Management. You can determine the notification type using the parameter MSV in the user master record.

  1. To do this, choose System ® User profile ® Own data.
  2. Then select the tab page Parameters.
  3. Enter MSV in the Parameters field and enter the value with which you want to group certain users in the value field (for example 01).
  4. Choose Logistics Execution ® Warehouse Management ® Interfaces ® Inventory Management ® Allow Negative Stocks in Interim Storage Types ® Control of System Messages in Warehouse Management in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
  5. Create a new entry with the version number (Value) you have chosen and enter the desired system reaction in the Message Category field (E, W, or blank).

Example

If the parameter MSV is not maintained in the user master, the system uses version 00.
