Entering a Transfer Posting

Use

Transfer postings are "logical" goods movements, which usually do not have any corresponding physical goods movements. In the AFS system you can execute transfer postings at SKU level. For an overview of the AFS-specific functions for transfer postings, please refer to the documentation on Processing Possibilities at SKU Level.

Procedure

To enter a transfer posting, choose in inventory management Goods movement ® Transfer posting and then choose the movement type via Movement type ® Transfer posting.

Transfer posting material to material (movement type 309)
If a material changes over time so that it no longer corresponds to the characteristics defined in the material master record, you can carry out a transfer posting Material to material. In the AFS system you can also carry out a transfer posting for grid and category values of the output material in SKU values of the receiving material.
The prerequisites for a transfer posting Material to material is that both materials are carried in the same base unit of measure and that a material master record has already been created for the receiving material. You can only execute a transfer posting Material to material from unrestricted-use stock to unrestricted-use stock.
To create a transfer posting Material to material, take the following steps:

In the initial screen, choose the movement type 309 and confirm this with Enter.
In the item overview, enter the output material and the receiving material and navigate to the SKU detail screen with Enter.
In the SKU detail screen you have two different options for entering transfer postings:

Choose Stock selection. In the fields GrV and Stock Category you will see the grid and category values of the output material displayed, and you have an overview of the availability of the individual SKUs. Enter the grid and category values of the receiving material in the fields RecGrdVl and Rec. Stock Cat. to which you want to transfer post the SKU data of the output material and then specify the quantity in the field Quantity in UnE. 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 post. Since negative stock is not permitted in the AFS system, you cannot enter a transfer posting for stock keeping units that exceeds the available stock.

If necessary, make an account assignment for the transfer posting.

Transfer posting Stock to stock
To enter a transfer posting from one stock type to another (for instance, stock in quality inspection to unrestricted-use stock), take the following steps:

In the initial screen, choose the appropriate movement type and confirm your entry with Enter.
In the item overview, enter the material and navigate to the SKU detail screen with Enter.
In the SKU detail screen you have two different options for entering transfer postings:

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 stock type that you have chosen. In the field Quantity in UnE, enter which quantity of the individual SKUs should be transfer posted to another stock type. 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 post. Since negative stock is not permitted in the AFS system, you cannot enter a transfer posting for stock keeping units that exceeds the available stock.

If necessary, make an account assignment for the transfer posting.
