 Stock Transfer with Container Control Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can perform stock transfers using kanban cards only and without posting any goods movements. You use this function if

  • your material remains in the same storage location as part of the stock transfer. In these cases, you do not have to post any goods movements. You only need the kanban cards.

  • you do not want to post each goods movement separately for performance reasons. In this way, you can collect your cards throughout the day, for example, and complete your posting for the entire day in the evening. This means that you reduce the number of material documents and you improve system performance.

Prerequisites

  • You have created a suitable replenishment strategy (replenishment strategy 0005 is delivered in the standard system) and have defined it in your control cycle.

Features

  • When a kanban is set to empty, a replenishment element is not created. This information is simply passed on to the supply source. The supply source is responsible for delivering the material and for the stock transfer.

  • The demand source sets the kanban status to Full . In this case, goods receipt is not performed in the background.
