 Transfer Posting: From Material to Material Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

If you manage similar materials under different material numbers, you may occasionally need to transfer the stock of one material to another material.

Features

The material master records change due to the transfer posting as follows:

  • The stock of the issuing material is reduced by the quantity transferred, and the value is reduced accordingly:

Value = quantity x price of the issuing material

  • The stock of the receiving material is increased by the quantity transferred. The increase in value depends on the type of price control:

If the price of the receiving material differs from that of the issuing material, the transfer posting results in price differences. These differences are posted to the stock account (in the case of price control V ) or to an "Expense/income from stock transfer" account (in the case of price control S ), depending on the price control defined for the receiving material.
