FIFO valuation with stock transfer

Hello
I would like to include stock transfer movements between 2 plants within the same company code in my FIFO valuation. The price to be used in the receiving plant shall be the std price from the delivering plant. Unfortunately I don't have success with the marking of movement types in MRF3... Can any of you help me?
Best regards

Production in Aternative Plant with stock transfer

Hello,
For our MTO process we have prototyped several scenarios for production of configurable materials over more plants, all based on special procurement keys.
Scenario 1: procured from other plant with stock transfer (41)
Scenario 2: production in alternative plant (80)
With respect to the configuration process and ATP, scenario 2 has our preference. There is one discrepancy, since the plants are far away from each other we need a stock transfer (and paperwork for transportation) between the 2 plants.
However a feature of production in an alternative plant is that the GR of the semi-finished good is directly in the planning plant.
Of course we can do a transfer order w/o reference for the semi-finished good from plant A to plant B but nothing is triggering this process and for us no option.
Any idea how to get such process nicely streamlined? Is there a usable workaround?
Thanks, Hans
(note: If no clues, I intend to bring it in as a request for SAP customer influence)

Thanks Vaibhav,
All required CTP settings maintained and ther is PDS in alternative production plant too. The reason being when I remove special proc key APO CTP created planned order for the deficit qty.
Did you mean to say Original plant means planning plant? but there proc type has to be E with special proc as "80" .SPRO setting is maintained.(maintained Location Determnation settings as you mentioned) I have already tried "X"
but did not work..

Rule Based GATP with Stock transfer order

Hi Experts,
I have activated the rule based with stock transfer GATP, but I have the following two issues
1. when I change sales order in EEC and make a ATP check , the system will not conisder the previous created stock transfer requisition and create a seperate stock transfer requisition, that is, if I trigger 10 times ATP check, the system will create another 10 stock transfer requisition. does anyone know how to let the system delete the previous stock transfer requisition , then create a new one, or using the existing stock transfer requisition?
2. the generated stock transfer requisition is always firmed, it causes if the sales order is deleted, the system can not delete the requisition via heuristic. how to let the system generate unfirmed stock transfer requisition?
thanks

Rick,
I have never researched this, so I don't know.
The reason I have never looked at this is because I would never want any other process to change supply elements generated by the GATP process. Once these elements are disturbed, then the confirmations of the Sales orders are also open to be disturbed. Regular runs of BackOrder Processing, which accompany most ATP solutions, can then change the sales docs with unpredictable results. Even without BOP, the next Sales person who re-ATPs the order might be in for an unpleasant surprise.

Planning Strategies 10 and 40 with Stock Transfer Orders for consuming PIRs

Hello,
I have the following situation in a Client:
One Production Plant (1000)
There exist various Plants to sell products.
The production Plan (PIRs) I create in Plant 1000 (MD61). Monthly buckets.
The planiing strategy I want to use is 40 or maybe 10 (both to Stock).
Consumption of the materials in plant 1000 is via:
1. Stock transfer orders to other plants (with Shipping funcionality) (about 80% of the shipping form plant 1000)
2. Sales Ordes with shipping (10%)
3. Transfer postings from one plant to another (303 - 305 movement type) (10%)
How can I make sure that all these outgoing movements from plant 1000 do consume my forecast? Is this standard funcionality.
Thanks for any reply,
Aart

Hello Mario,
Thanks for your answer. I looked at the note but Im not sure it does apply in our situation.
Let me explain our situation maybe more clearly:
I want to create a monthly Forecast (MD61) with PIRs for Production Plant 1000. (Planining strategy 10)
The stock created in plant 1000, on the basis of this forecast is consumed during the month by:
1. Stock Transfer Orders (from plant 1000 to plant X) - (for 95%)
2. Sales orders (directly) (5%)
The STOs should not be on top of the PIR but should be part of the PIR.
For your information, the stock which is moved from plant 1000 to plant X via STOs, is sold at plant X (not directly at plant 1000).
this stock sold monthly at plant X however, is considered withing the forecast!
I hope this clarifies our situation a bit more.
Thanks for any anwer,
Bye

Consuming Forecast PIR (MD61) with Stock transfer Orders

Hello,
We have a Production Plant 1000 in which we load the sales forecast as PIRs (MD61) (we use strategy 10)
We sell from Plant 1xxx.
After production in plant 1000, we use Stock Transfer Orders to transfer the production stock to Plant 1xxx
From plant 1xxx we ship to out customer (normal sales process with shipping).
The problem we are facing is the following:
The stock Transfer Orders (STO)during a month do NOT consume the forecast loaded in plant 1000! There is no asignment to PIRs!
If I create a regular sales order in plant 1000 (which is not our normal process!), the Sales order quantity is automatically asigned to the PIRs to consume the forecast.
The same thing we want to acomplish with STOs.
I looked at Requirements Type KSL with Requirements Class 030 (from the strategy 10) but I can not make out were to manipulate it so it will work in our specific situation.
Anyone has done this before or had a similar situation? How did they solve it?
Thanks for any help on this one.
Aart

Aart,
I would assume your STO is created in plant 1XXX. So that would create a dependent requirement/reservation on plant1000.
Since PIR is in plant 1000, it should consume your PIR by using consumption indicator 3 (Consume customer reqmts, reserv., dependent reqmts).
You may not have to use consumption ind 4 ( using BADI). Hope this helps too.
Else Brahmankar's solution is the last resort.
Thanks,
Ram

FIFO Valuation with Material Ledger !

Hi,
How do we accomplish FIFO Valuation using Material Ledger ?
We have activated the Material Ledger, with Single - Level Determination; Standard Price S. On execution of Single-Level Price Determination, we get the Periodic Unit Price -- which is the Weighted Average Price for the Receipts for the period involved.
I came across SAP Forums, which claim that Material Ledger is the FIFO Valuation on real-time basis. However, this doesn't seem to be true. The Goods Issued are assigned the Periodic Unit Price (calculated above -- i.e the Weighted Average Price ).
In addition, we have Configured the FIFO Balance Sheet Valuation Procedure, through the MM menu. The FIFO Value for the Material is giving weird results. Adding the total Inventory for all the Receipts till date and over-riding the period selection for Single Receipts. For monthly receipts, the system just gives the Weighted Average Price again.
The Business is expecting the FIFO valution for the Inventory Balance on Monthly Basis. ( We are using Material Ledger, so that we can roll-up this FIFO Valuation of the Raw Material ito Gross up into the Finished Product
-- Thanks

Hi Kenny ,
BASIC STEPS THAT CAN BE FOLLOWED FOR ENDING INVENTORY VALUATION :
Ending Inventory is valued as per FIFO calculated through following steps:
     Run the price calculation (Txn: KSII) u2013 check that all      auxiliary Cost centers are zero
     Run Txn:MRF3 (summarization of documents for the      FIFO calculation.)
     Run MRF1 (calculation of FIFO)
     Check if the FIFO calc. is correct via MR35
After ML run the ending inventory value should be equal to the value in MR35 and so balance amount not yet loaded to ending inventory through FIFO valuation is posted to consumption
Exception: If total receipts for a period is less than ending inventory quantity .In this case the EI is valued at weighted average
Please check wether the steps have been properly followed and the execption doesnot exists..
Also, hope your Price Determination is "3" and price control is "S" in Material Master..

Sarada

Linkage of service order with stock transfer order

We are creating a service order for freight rate against a vendor xxx. While creating STO we assign vendor as CR (role) forwarding agent. Can we link that pricing condition of freight should pick rate directly from the ervice

Problem with Stock Transfer Order in Sales

Dear All,
The problem is related to STO where we have used the following configuration settings -
PO Document Type - ZUB (from standard UB)
Delivery Type - ZNL (from standard NL)
In the delivery type the assigned Sales Order Type - ZDL (from standard DL)
In delivery Item Category assignment is NLN which is a SAP standard.
In the outbound delivery we have the procedure of automatic batch determination active as a result of which two lines are generally reflected in which there is a Batch Header line with zero quantity & there is a Batch Item line with target quantity.In case of our commercial invoice only the single line i.e. batch item line with target quantity gets reflected & upon saving accounting document gets generated.But in case of STO Proforma invoice where there is no scenario of accounting the Batch Header Line with zero quantity along with the batch line item quantity is also getting copied.
In copying control TCode- VTFL the Settings between delivery type ZNL & STO Proforma Billing Type ZBST ( Copy of F8 standard bill type) for Item Category NLN in our system are as follows -
Copying requirements   009 DlvRel.proforma header
Data VBRK/VBRP          003 Single invoice
Billing quantity                B
Pos./neg. quantity          Blank
Pricing type                    G
PricingExchRate type     Blank
Cumulate Cost -             (greyed out)
Price Source                  Blank
Please suggest what needs to be done so that only the single line containing the batch line item with target quantity in the STO Proforma Invoice.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

In VTFL, for main item category (NLN), in the field billing quantity maintain value G-Cumulative batch quantity minus invoiced quantity and for the batch split item category, keep value blank. Then test by creating new documents. Also refer OSS Note 77414 - Billing during batch split, which explains for normal item category. You can refer the settings for your scenario also.

Closing a Stock Transfer draft (using Delphi 7)

Hi, I have this code to close a Stock Transfer draft (ie. using 'Cancel' method):
           with GetBusinessObject(param_type) as IDocuments do begin
             ok := GetByKey(StrToInt64(param_key));
             if ok then result := Cancel();
        end;
Somehow that code gives me an error. By using GetLastErrorDescription(), the error message is:
"[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'DocEntry', table 'SAP_TEST.dbo.DRF6'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails."
FYI I used this code to close other document drafts (Sales Order Draft, Return Order Draft), and they are all OK, so looks like something is a bit different with Stock Transfer draft.
Anybody has any idea what's wrong, and how to fix/handle it?
Thanks.

Hi,
Stock Transfer and some other inventory transaction tables share the same structure with other marketing document tables. However, because the general design of the table structure is focus on marketing document part, Stock Transfer transaction will have certain limitations. You need to try more methods to close it.
Thanks,

Stock Transfer of Excisable goods from Depot to Depot

Hi,
We are facing an issue with Stock Transfer of Excisable Goods from an excisable depot to another excisable depot which had arrived from an excisable manufacturing plant.
We are following the below steps:
1. Create STO PO at Depot A (ME21N)
2. Delivery of Goods from Depot B (VL10B)
3. Create Depot Excise Invoice at Depot B with reference to Orginal Manufacturing Excise Invoice (J1IJ)
4. Goods Receipt at Depot A (MIGO)
5. Capture Excise at Depot A (J1IG)
We are getting stuck at Step 5. When we are performing J1IG and entering Depot Excise Invoice or Original Manufacturing Excise Invoice, we are getting an error message as "Excise invoice does not exist in Supplying Plant".
Kindly suggest how to capture excise at Depot A.
Regards,
Debarshi

Dear G. Lakshmipathi,
We have tried your solution but we are still stuck at the same place.
In J1IG, if we enter the Depot B excise invoice and press enter, we are getting the message "Excise invoice does not exist in Supplying Plant".
If we enter the Original Manufacturing excise invoice and press enter, then also we are getting the message "Excise invoice does not exist in Supplying Plant".
If we enter the Depot B excise invoice and give a tick in the "Depot Excise Invoice" and press enter, we are getting into an infinite loop.
Kindly suggest how we can capture the excise at Depot A.
Regards,
Debarshi

MM - Stock Transfer Requirement

Hi Gurus,
Is there by any chance a way to use Purchasing Info Record with Stock Transfer Requirement and Stock Transfer Order.
I need to use the "minimum purchase quantity" so that my Stock Transfer Order cannot be created below a certain amount of units...
If we cannot use Purchasing Info Record... Does anyone have an idea on how to set up that process ?
Thanks in advance !
Remi

Thank you for your help. The only thing is that is generates Purchase Requisitions for 5 units instead of 2 units.
I would like the system to generate a Purchase Requisition when the accumulated needs for this material are 5 units.

Release order for a stock transfer order in Product view

Hi Experts
My question is that i cann't see Release order for a stock transfer order in Product view which are available in MD04 in R/3.
I have checked all the settings for Strategy group 50-Planning without final assembly in R/3 and Requirement type in APO. In APO I have checked requirement type and category group and I can see that in category we have defined Stock Transport Requisition, Stock Transport order, Sales Order, TLB:VMI sales order, Replenishment delivery and VMI delivery as category.
One more thing i am not even selecting any selection profile for Product view.
What i need to check, Kindly suggest.
Regards
G C

Hi G.C
Check whether you have maintained correct integration model. Create integration model for transactional data. Select the sales order and PO/PR option in CFM1. The reason you need to send the sales order first when you are working with stock transfer order/stock transfer scheduling agreements you first have to send the sales order and then PO/PR. Activate the integrtion model.
First check in ECC for the Integration with Other mySAP.com Components==>Advanced Planning and Optimization==>Initial Data Transfer==>Change Transfer==>Change Transfer for Transaction Data==>Activate Online Transfer Using BTE==> here check (ND-APO, NDI options are have been checked)
Also check for the Maintenance of distribution definiton under APO -SPRO==>Integration with SAP Components==>Basic settings for data transfer==>Publication==>Maintain distribution definiton==>Select the publication type(External procurement, Delivery,Shipment) and assign to all the plants you are working with for STO.
Try the above steps and do let me know if it worked.

Stock transfer valuation error at batch level

Dear All,
I have an issue with Stock valuation at batch level, when a site to site stock transfer is done in the ERP.
As a consequence, Stock values in reporting are completely wrong.
As a standard behavior for stock transfers, we have the following article movements in the ERP :
MatNo      MovTyp Date      Plant      Stor.loc.    Batch      Qty.    Value
MAT1      101    01.01.06 USD1      0001         HJ01       1         180000
MAT1      641    15.01.07 USD1    0001          HJ01       -1      -180000
MAT1      641    15.01.07 3041                                     1      180000
MAT1      101    16.01.07 3041      0001           HJ01       1       0
We are using 0IC_C03 cube, with 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM.
In 0IC_C03 cube, if we do a query at site level for this article, everything is correct :
MatNo     Plant     Qty.    Value
MAT1      USD1     0     0
MAT1     3041     1     180000
Then if we go at batch level, the value for the batched article is wrong (0).
The real value is held by the "empty batch" article.
MatNo     Plant     Batch     Qty.    Value
MAT1      USD1     HJ01     0     0
MAT1     3041               0        180000
MAT1     3041     HJ01      1     0
We already implemented the workaround on storage location level (How to "Realize summarized display of stock values on
storage location level").
But the same principle wouldn't work here, as the purpose of the batch is to have different valuations by article.
If we have then several batched article in the same site, we would apply an average value to them, which would also be wrong.
I tried to apply OSS note 589024, but for the same reason as described above, this is not working.
Would you have any clue or similar experience ?
Thanks for your help,
Stephane.

Hi.
I would also appreciate an answer to this problem, if you have one. . .
Thanks in advance,

How to Track the valuation for IC Stock Transfer

Hi Folk,
I have a requirement for Intercompany Stock Transfer Where Plant "A" place PO to Plant "B" and Plant "B" does the Stock Transfer to Plant "A". Both the plant belongs to differnet company code. But both the company code share the same Chart of Account.
The Issue here is how the Plant "B" maintain the valuation for the Stock Transfer as there is no invoicing generated for this.
Should you need any further information / clarifiction pls feel free to let me know.
Pls share your expertise with me.
Looking forward to hear from you at the earliest.
Thanks,
Nihar

In intercompany STO delivering plant should invoice to recieving plant and it will have the accounting entries as well.Keep in mind that both plants are related to different company codes.Accounting will be done as normal sales process in delivering plant.
