Once you have created the material master record, you can select the following data screens in the Select View(s) dialog box for displaying the stocks held at a particular plant or storage location:
Plant stock
Storage location stock
Besides displaying the stock balances on these data screens, you can display an overview of the existing stocks of a material at all organizational levels in the stock overview. For more information, access the stock overview from the Material Master menu by choosing and choose to access the program documentation.
To display plant stocks, you are required to specify a plant in the Organizational Levels dialog box. To display storage location stocks, you are required to specify a plant and a storage location in the Organizational Levels dialog box.
Stocks for the current period and for the previous period are displayed on a single screen.
It is not possible to manually enter or change the stock balances displayed on these screens. The stock balances are updated by the system whenever goods are received or issued.
For information on the types of stock that can be managed in the system, see the SAP library documentation Inventory Management (MM-IM) Stocks in the Material Master Record .
