Stock Transport Order Without Delivery 

Purpose

This type of stock transfer not only involves Inventory Management but Purchasing in the receiving plant. The goods issue posting in Inventory Management is carried out without the involvement of SD.

Characteristics of a Stock Transfer Order

  • The quantity posted from stock is first of all managed as stock in transit of the receiving plant. Only once the goods receipt has been posted is the quantity posted to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant.

This enables the quantity "on the road" to be monitored.

  • Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order.
  • The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant.
  • If the plants involved belong to different company codes, the transfer between plants is also a transfer between company codes. In this case, the system creates two accounting documents when the goods issue is posted. The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.

Process Flow

  1. Creating a stock transport order in the receiving plant

Plant A would like to order materials from plant B. Plant A enters a stock transfer order. The stock transfer is used to plan the movement.

  1. Posting a goods issue in the issuing plant

Plant B supplies the goods to plant A. Plant B enters the goods issue for the stock transfer order. The goods are then posted to the stock in transit of the receiving plant.

  1. Posting a goods receipt in the receiving plant

Once the goods arrive in the receiving plant, the plant posts the goods receipt. The stock in transit is therefore reduced and the unrestricted-use stock increased.

The goods receipt is entered with reference to the purchase order.
