Entering a Stock Transfer in the One-Step Procedure

Use

If you transfer a material in the one-step procedure, enter the stock transfer in a transaction. The goods receipt is entered in the receiving organizational unit with the goods issue in the issuing organizational unit. Since no stock in transfer or stock in transit is created, you do not have the option of monitoring stock while it is in transit.

The one-step procedure is especially suited for the stock transfer of Stor.loc. to stor.loc. within a plant, since in this case materials are usually in transit for a long time. If you transfer materials from Stor.loc. to stor.loc. in the one-step procedure, you decrease the chosen stock type in the issuing storage location and increase the same stock type in the receiving storage location. Usually the system posts this without a value because the transferred material is usually valuated the same in the same plant and the stock does not change at plant level. Accounting documents are only generated if the material is valuated separately and the valuation type changes during the stock transfer.

Note

If you transfer materials in the one-step procedure, you have the option of planning the stock transfer by using a stock transfer reservation.

Procedure

For an overview of the AFS-specific functions for stock transfers, please refer to the documentation on Processing Possibilities at SKU Level. To execute stock transfers between storage locations in the one-step procedure in the AFS system, take the following steps:

In inventory management choose Goods movement ® Transfer posting and then Movement type ® Transfer posting ® Stor.loc. to stor.loc. to choose the movement type. Transfer postings between storage locations can take place in all stock types.

Enter the plant and the issuing storage location in the initial screen.

In the item overview, enter the material and the receiving storage location and navigate to the SKU detail screen with Enter.

In the SKU detail screen you have two different options for entering stock transfers:

Choose Stock selection. In the fields GrV and Stock Category you will see the grid and category values of the material displayed, and you have an overview of the availability of the individual SKUs in the issuing storage location. In the field Quantity in UnE, enter which quantity of the individual SKUs should be transferred to another storage location. If you want to transfer post grid and category values of your AFS material to other values of the same AFS material in a parallel manner, enter the new grid and category values of the material in the fields RecGrdVl and Rec. Stock Cat. By choosing Line by line you navigate back to the SKU initial screen and copy the entered or changed data in the line view.
Using the input help (F4), specify grid values, categories, and quantities that you would like to transfer. Since negative stock is not permitted in the AFS system, you cannot enter a stock transfer for stock keeping units that exceeds the available stock.

Note

To transfer stock between storage locations that has already been assigned to a sales order by ARun, choose Alloc. Stock. You will see a list of all the allocated stock and you can individually specify the receiving storage location for each stock. Select the stock that you want to transfer and choose Line by line so that the entered data will be copied to the line view.
