Posting Change for Stocks 

Use

In Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you can make a posting change for stock, for example:

·        From available stock to blocked stock (for example, in the case of a complaint)

·        From available stock to customs blocked stock

Prerequisites

·        You have made the settings for posting changes in the warehouse process type in Customizing for EWM under Cross-System Settings ® Warehouse Task ® Define Warehouse Process Type.  Here you define, for example, whether a warehouse task (WT) is created automatically during the posting change, or whether it is to be created before or after the posting change.

·        You have optionally defined destination data for stocks in conjunction with the warehouse process type that the system is to suggest for posting changes. You make these settings in Customizing for EWM under Internal Warehouse Processes ® Default Values for Posting Changes.

Features

You make a posting change for stock by changing the relevant stock attributes and then creating the posting change. You can change the following stock attributes, for example:

·        Storage bin

·        Stock type

·        Batch

·        Sales order or project

You want to move stock from available stock to quality inspection stock. You have the following options that you can configure in Customizing.

§         The stock is to remain in the storage bin, but is no longer to be available for picking. In this case, the system does not create a WT and the stock is simply given a different stock type.

§         You want to take the stock to the quality department. In this case, the system creates a WT. There are two options:

·         The system creates the WT and then a posting change is made automatically for the stock when the destination storage bin is confirmed.

·         The stock is booked out of the source storage bin and then the WT is created automatically.

You can make posting changes for stock for which serial numbers exist on a serial number basis. For more information about serial numbers, see Serial Number.
