Goods Receipt Without Previous Goods Receipt Posting in IM

Purpose

You put goods away by creating a transfer order in the Warehouse Management system (LE-WM) first, without posting a goods receipt in Inventory Management (MM-IM) first.

Prerequisites

You use SAP Inventory Management (MM-IM).

You have made the following settings in the Customizing for Warehouse Management:

You have not set the indicator TR (for automatic creation of transfer requirement) for the relevant WM reference movement type under Interfaces → Inventory Management → Define Movement Types → LE-WM Interface inventory management.

You use a special movement indicator for when you want to make an exception and activate automatic transfer requirement creation for this movement type. To do this, define a new movement type, assign a special movement indicator to the new movement type and set the indicator TB (for automatic creation of transfer requirement)

Negative stock is allowed in the interface storage type.

To do this, choose the menu path Master Data → Define Storage Type in the Customizing for Warehouse Management and set the indicator Allow negative stock.

Process Flow

The goods to be put away are in the goods receipt interim storage area of your warehouse.

You create a transfer order for goods putaway.

When you create the transfer order, the system determines the storage bin for the material on the basis of a predefined search strategy.

The system creates a negative quant in the goods receipt interim storage area.

You put away the goods from the goods receipt interim storage area in one or more storage bins, based on the transfer order.

You confirm the transfer order and enter any differences.

Once you confirm the transfer order, the goods are available in the system.

You can find additional information on entering differences under handling differences.

You post the goods receipt in Inventory Management (MM-IM).

When you post the goods receipt, you increase the stock and clear the negative quant in the goods receipt interim storage area, and a positive quant is created in the destination storage bin for the material.

Result

The goods receipt process is complete.
