Stock Transport Order for AFS Materials with a Coverage Strategy

Use

Since AFS materials can be carried in different plants with different coverage strategies, stock and requirements categories of the plants involved must be assigned to each other during cross-plant stock transfers.

Features

Execute the assignment of the stock and requirements categories in Customizing: AFS ® Cross-Application Components ® Categories ® Maintain category allocation.

Select the coverage strategy that is assigned to the material in the receiving plant and choose Dependent Requirements.

Enter individual stock categories in the overview and assign to them the issuing plant in the field Issu, the coverage strategy in the field CStr (issuing plant) and in the field Req. Category the corresponding requirements category of the issuing plant.

For more information on the assignment of dependent requirement categories, see the AFS documentation on Categories.

If you have carried out this assignment, the system will convert the stock categories of the stock transport order into the corresponding requirements categories of the issuing plant.
The valuated stock in transit will be set up in the receiving plant with the goods issue. The system then copies the categories of the stock in transit and of the following goods receipt from the stock transport order.

Example

In your receiving plant A you have defined the category 001A (quality 1) as the valid stock category and have assigned it to the valid requirements category of the issuing plant B 001B (quality 1). Using the stock transport order, plant A requests 100 T-shirts of the category 001A from issuing plant B. Since the stock category 001A is assigned to the requirements category in plant B 001B, plant B stages the 100 T-shirts in the category 001B and posts a goods issue. The stock in transit will be set up in plant A with the goods issue. The categories of the stock transport order (001A) and not those of the goods issue form the basis for the categories in the stock in transit.
