Creating a TO in WM Without Previous Posting in IM
This process is explained using the transfer of a pallet from production into the warehouse as an example. The goods are brought to the identification point of a high rack storage area on a conveyor belt and are to be put away there.
If you have a single storage unit type, choose Goto
If you create a transfer order for more than one storage unit type, you arrive at the preparation screen. The system proposes the palletization from the material master record. You can accept the proposed values or overwrite them. Choose either Goto → Generate TO item → Foreground process, or Goto → Generate TO item → Background process, to create the transfer order items, which are displayed on the preparation screen.
To save the transfer order, choose Transfer order ® Post. The system returns to the initial screen and issues a message that the transfer order has been created.
The quantity is posted in WM via this transfer order. A negative quantity is posted to the goods receipt interim storage area, while a positive quantity is posted to the destination storage area. These individual quantities cancel each other out, balancing the WM total stock out to zero.
Displaying the Stock Balance
If you want to see the summarized stock overview for a particular material according to storage type, choose Logistics → Logistics Execution → Internal Warehouse Processes → Bins and Stocks → Display → Total Stock per Material (Warehouse Management) in the SAP menu.
Posting Goods Receipt in IM
You complete this type of goods receipt by posting it in IM.
The stock in IM is increased via this function. Additionally a positive quantity is posted to the goods receipt interim storage area in WM. This means that the negative quantity in the interim storage area is deleted, resulting in a positive quantity in the storage bin.
