 Stock Transport Order Without Delivery

Purpose

This stock transfer involves not only Inventory Management but also Purchasing in the receiving plant. The goods issue posting in Inventory Management is carried out without the involvement of Sales (SD).

A stock transport order without delivery is possible only in a two-step procedure.

This stock transfer has the following characteristics:

  • The quantity posted from stock is first of all managed as stock in transit of the receiving plant. The quantity is first posted to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant in the goods receipt posting.

    This enables the quantity "on the way" to be checked.

  • You can enter delivery costs in the stock transport order.

  • The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant.

  • If the plants involved belong to different company codes, the transfer between plants is also a transfer between company codes. In this case, the system creates two accounting documents when the goods issue is posted. The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.
