Transfer Posting and Stock Transfer (SAP Library

Transfer Posting and Stock Transfer

Use

In the SAP system you not only have the option of posting goods receipts and goods issues, but also of entering internal goods movements with stock transfers and transfer postings. Whereas transfer postings are "logical" goods movements to which no physical goods movements need to correspond, there is always a physical goods movement connected to stock transfers.

Transfer postings result in a change in the material number (material to material), the stock type (stock to stock), or the batch number.
You can carry out stock transfers between storage locations within a plant, between different plants, and between company codes.
