Transfer Posting Using Replenishment Elements from MRP
The replenishment elements for a storage location are scheduled in the planning run (MRP). Withdrawals are made from several storage locations. Here, planned orders or purchase requisitions corresponding to the lot-sizing procedure are created in the planning run instead of stock transfer reservations. No replenishment elements are created as a result of the kanban signal.
Standard Procedure
Three options are available for stock transfer with replenishment elements created in the planning run:
No replenishment elements are created when the status is changed to EMPTY. This status change is only passed on to the supply source for information purposes. The supply source is responsible for delivering the material and making the transfer posting.
The demand source sets the kanban status to FULL. Here, no goods receipt is carried out in the background.
A stock transfer reservation for the kanban quantity is created when the kanban status is changed to EMPTY. This means that in this strategy, KANBAN is used to finely control the quantity to be transferred and the time of the transfer. For more information on this topic, refer to Replenishment Using Reservation.
When the kanban status is changed to EMPTY, a direct stock transfer is carried out. This means that in this strategy, KANBAN is used to finely control the quantity to be transferred and the time of the transfer. For more information on this topic, refer to Replenishment Using Direct Transfer Posting.
