Include Stock transfer in MRP

Hello Solution Management,
Currently MRP Only check the quantity available for a given item in the warehouse(s) and suggests to buy/produce it.
However it could happen that the stock which need to be used is available in a different warehouse than the selected one(s).
The MRP should recommend not only Purchase or Production Order but also stock transfer from a warehouse to another warehouse.
It could be left to the user/company to choose to avail the stock transfer option in MRP.
example:
I have 3 warehouses:
        bonded warehouse,
        warehouse A,
         warehouse B.
My Item1 is out of stock or at minimum level in warehouse A.
Case 1: There is stock in the bonded warehouse and no stock or minimum stock in warehouse B
MRP Should suggest a transfer from the bonded warehouse
Case 2 There are stocks in the Bonded warehouse and in warehouse B
    a. MRP suggests a transfer from Warehouse B
    b. The quantity needed from warehouse A will bring warehouse 2 to a level below the minimum stock: MRP suggests:
       b1. a transfer from warehouse B for a quantity which bring the stock to the minimum and suggest to transfer the missing quantity from the bonded warehouse.
       b2. a transfer from warehouse B for a quantity which bring the stock to the minimum and suggest to transfer the missing quantity from the bonded warehouse and purchase/production if necessary.
       b3. MRP recommends a stock transfer from the Bonded warehouse for the full quantity + purchase if necessary
       b4. A purchase/production for the full quantity to avoid several transactions
Case 3 There is no stock in the bonded warehouse: or in warehouse B (or minimum level in warehouse B)
MRP recommends a purchase or a production.

It depends on the set up of your COA profile. If you have results coming from the inspection lot and you do not specify an inspection type in the COA profile header, then yes..it will.
If you specified an 04 lot in the profile, then no, since the stock transfer lot should be an 08 inspection lot.
Cert profiles are not plant specific so you can't specify an 08 inspection type. Otherwise some shipments in plant A will fail to get a COA since it is possible that no 08 inspection lot will exist.

Exclude Stock Transfer from MRP Net Requirements

Hi,
Is it possible to exclude the Stock Transfer Orders from the Net Requirements generated by MRP? I want to base the requirements only from historical consumption. In my Stock/requirements list (MD04) for example, the Requisition generated by MRP increases in quantity since there are open Stock Transfers which are to be served by that plant to other plants.
Regards,
Lee

Nazrin,
Availability check configuration (OVZ9) has no impact on MRP. MRP relies on its internal rules when it is performing its net requirements calculation. You have very little control over which elements are included/excluded.
You can exclude selected storage locations from MRP planning. Stock and reservations against these storage locations will therefore also be excluded.
You can exclude a material from planning, change the material master MRP type to ND.
Your best bet, though, would be to set your PM planning process up such that these materials never create the reservation in the first place.

Stock Transfer and Demand APO

Hello Everybody good morning,
I've got a scenario which i would appreciate your support.
The company which i work for we've got a sort of Sales Rep mobil. The stock usually is transfer accordingly their sales need by a transfer stock method into SAP and located into their specific storage location. Usually, this stock is often sold or it will be sold within the month. However, into APO demand forecast, this considerable stock "sold" is not yet included as the material was not effective sold, invoiced....
What i would like to know is, if there's any possibility to include stock transfer into Demand figuers onto APO?
Ie: Sales Rep. X / storage location 001
Stock transfer from Central Warhouse of 1 pc.
This one pc, despite be stil located into this Sales rep mobil, basically its sold, and i would like to know the possibility which this 1 pc be considered "sold" into APO. Is that possible? How could i configurated that this would happen? I guess that this is linked into Material Master set for this specific storage location up, am i right?
Well i would appreciate if anybody could adviced me into that scenario.
Cheers
CC

Hi Caio,
In demand forecast, usually this stock consideration is not needed to be taken care into account as it will be net off during supply planning run (SNP).
In case you want to net the stock off at demand planning side, i.e. SNP is not considering this particular stock at all, then the stock data for specific storage location can be pulled into BW (or any other system you are using for transferring data between ECC and SCM). Extract the data to a KF in demand planning and while releasing the demand to SNP, use (Demand - sold stock) KF.

Stock Transfer Reservation in spite of Purchase Requisition in MRP run

Dear SAP gurus,
We are running MRP heuristic on the PP/DS and we have different results comparing our development and productive environments.
In our productive environment purchase requisitions are generated and in our development environment stock transfer reservations are generated as result of the MRP run.
Where can I check differences of configuration that would be causing this?
Thanks and BR
Mauricio

Mauricio,
I guess I was not clear in my suggestion, I apologize. Differences in T001W between ERP dev and prod will not necessarily generate your problem, differences in sourcing within APO between APO dev and APO prod will generate the differences. I only mentioned the vendor number because a transportation lane can exist 'source plant > destination plant', but also you can have a transportation lane 'vendor of source plant > destination plant' which would also have an impact on the type of req created.
Easier to check the sourcing, //PWBSRC1, mentioned earlier. Your dev system should contain no objects that relate to Stock Transport orders. You can delete the STO sourcing records within that transaction, which will also delete the material assignment to the Transportation lane. Hopefully you will then get the default external supply proposal, which is normally a Purchase req.
Also check for presence of quota arrangements //SCC_TQ1. Delete any that unnecessarily refer to an STO object.
Best Regards,
DB49

Stock transfer with incorrect price from MRP

Hi.
I have material with special procurement 40 (MRP2 view).
Special procurement is for stock transfer from other plant.
When I run MRP with MD03 transaction, PR for transfer is created, but value price (EBAN-PREIS) is incorrect since that Value price is obteined from target plant, instead should be obteined from supplying (issing) plant.
Therefore when I create PR manually with ME51N transaction, value price is obteined from supplying plant.
I have ECC 6.0 wtith Support Package SAPKH60407 installed.
Does anyone can help me?

MRP - Stock transfer PO

Dear PP gurus
I have one MRP related issue . Right now i have configured in such a way that if stock is there , all stock transfer PO's are not considerd for MRP run. But if enough stock is not there for stock transfer PO then system will create extra Planned orders .
My requirement is eventhough enough stock is not there , system should not considerd my stock transfer PO's for MRP run.
Can anybody can guide me how to configure this .
Regards
Prabhakar

Look at MRP type configuration. For ROP related ones you can decide to consider or not STO.

MRP recommendation -- Do a Stock transfer instead of Purch or prodn Order..

With the MRP report recommendations you can either select to fulfill the recomendation by Purchase Order or Production Order. is it possible to add another option i.e Stock Transfer. I.E Customer has mutliple warehouses in different regions and they are supplied via a primary warehouse. eg run MRP for region x and use the MRP recommendations to trigger stock transfers from the primary Warehouse.
Any pointers Greatly Appreciated!!!
thanks

Thanks for the reply, currently I am heading down the path of
using the order recomendation table (ORCM) from there it should be possible to run an addon to present this table with the option of a stock transfer from a primary warehouse
so the user would
1: run the MRP as normal
2:then from the recomendation screen launch a new screen that gives you the option of selecting a warehouse and initiating stock transfers for items that are available
3:ones that are not available(or not enough in stock) would remain on the recomendation report to be actioned with a PO or ProdOrder.
the stock transfer would move the stock to some sort of virtual wharehouse while the logistics physically move the goods. then then to receive the goods the user would enter a similar screen bring up all the goods in the virtual w/h and maybe tick all the valid ones and do a stock transfer to the 'actual' w/house.
ps any comments on this 'theory' are appreciated
thanks for looking

PIR' s are consuming in Stock transfer between slocs under same MRP area

We are using Sloc to Sloc with PO /delivery/asn/pgr route These SLOCS belong to same MRP area
Materials that are having strategy group 40
PIR's are conumed once PGI is done .
How to restrict this
Please throw me some light

i am not saying to stop the consumption by sales order.
try to map a different delivery type in case of such stock transfer as you explained process at your end. and for that try to wrok that way. i think you i have done misttake by saying requirement class as that comes in SO not delivery. in your case the PIR reudction is due to movement type. please movement type config in OMJJ (it might have PIR reduction active.
go thorugh not 896518
please check the movement type getting called in this GI case, and try to create a new mvmt type map this inplace of standard one with config and on that movement type remove the indicator "indepenet requirement reduction"

MRP creates STO-reservation in stead of Stock Transfer PO (s.loc-s.loc)

Hi All,
I hope you can help me!
I am setting up STO, stock transfer order, between two storage locations within the same plant. I have activated the relevant customizing settings (the standard STO-set up located in the PO-part of the MM area) and I have maintained the master data needed (MRP 4-view: MRP indicator u201C2u201D, added replenishment values and entered no value in the special procurement type field).
When I enter a STO manually in ME21N everything works fine.
My problem is that instead of getting a stock transfer purchase requisition triggered by the MRP I get a stock transfer reservation u2013 which is utterly useless to me. I would like to run a scenario with MRP driven STO-replenishment of specific storage locations, not use reservations.
MRP area is activated for the plant in question (MRP area type 01, plant). I am in doubt if this influences my issue.
Looking forward to hear from you all.
Kind regards,
/Dag

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your suggestion - i have actually played around a bit with the spec.proc.key.
When I enter the procurement key in the MRP4-view of the material I get an error saying something with "recursiveness". Meaning, I believe, that I cannot assign the same plant in the spec.proc.key as the one the material master is referring to when creating the MRP4-view.
Does the above make sense to you?
Kind regards,
Dag

No planning of Stock Transfer Orders

Hi,
I have business scenario in which we transfer the material from production plant to the sales Depot using Stock Transfer Order created manually.
We do not want include these Stock transfer orders in planning run.
could any one reply on this.
regards
VS

Hello AV,
In the material master of that material (for the production plant where you run the MRP), select the MRP-4 view and in that for the field MRP Dependent Requirements, select the indicator1(Materials for dependent requirements are not planned). This solution i am giving by considering that you are creating the Stock transfer order in Depots and running the MRP in production plant.
Please check and confirm.

Diff. Between Cross co. sales & Cross co. Stock Transfer

can any body tell me the exact difference between the cross co. sales & the cross co. Stock transfer?
Because in both the cases we have to invoiceto other co.
Regards
Sunil Garg

Hi,
<b>Stock transport</b> is used for moving goods between plants in the same system (4.6C)
Between two plants in the same CompanyCode
Between two plants in the same CompanyCode but different country
Between two plants in different CompanyCode
From 4.7 its possible to have stock transport between systems via APO
Master data for STO:
Vendor:
Supplying plant created in the receiving plant as a vendor. one supplying plant can only have one vendor, so CC and purchasing data for the supplying plant in most cases are added. Info records created for material vendor combinations.
Material
The special procurement decides in the MRP view if a requisition are for stock transport
ATP has to include stock transport reqisitions.
Customer
Receiving plant is created as a ship-to in the supplying plant. Sold-to and ship-to is the same. If head office is used for the customer this customer no has to be the bill-to and payer
The ship-to has to be a new specific customer no. Never use the normal sold-to / ship-to. It causes problems if the stock is moved physically.
The sales data has to be created for the sales area assigned to the supplying plant. If materials are created with other divisions as the one assigned, sales data has to be created for them too as a copy.
<b>Intercompany Sales</b> :The purpose of the inter company order flow is to enable direct deliveries of goods from the CDC. The inter company eliminates local stock at the sales companies.
Sales order--->Delivery due list>Pick and Pack PGI--->Intercompany
Invoice--->invoice verification Idoc---->Customer Invoice
Hope that helps.

Exclude QA Stock in MD04/MRP Planning

Hi Guys:
I have 10000-Unrestricted , 2000 in Quality stock
when I check in MD04 Availble qty should show 10000 but it is showing 12000 in MD04.
I don't know unless i release QA stock to unrestricted it is not determined as good stock. I don't want to include QA stock into my MRP planning.
How to exclude that?
Thanks
Sweth

Hello Sweth ,
The quality inspection stock should be displayed in Transactions MD43, MD04 and the other MRP transactions.
The system behaves according to the documentation (Net requirement calculation):
The following stocks are grouped together to form plant stock:
- Unrestricted-use stock
- Stock in quality inspection
- Unrestricted-use consignment stock
- Consignment warehouse stock in quality inspection
In Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Availability of Stock in Transfer/Blocked Stock/ Restricted Stock , you can also determine whether stock in transfer , blocked stock , and restricted-use stock are included in the plant.
Please read the documentation included in this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/f4/7d27aa44af11d182b40000e829fbfe/content.htm
Unfortunately, an option to exclude quality inspection stock does not exist
in the customizing.
In the stock requirement list (MD04) , stock in quality check is always considered as available and part of the available stock. Therefore it is considered in the ATP-check from Transaction MD04. The system here works as designed. Only if you are working with the QM-module and using inspection lots , these are not included in the available stock but considered regular entries.
A possible alternative is to create a singularly storage location for a special QI Stock, which is not available for MRP.
I hope this information has been helpful.
Best Regards,
Frank

Vendor code in Stock Transfer Inspection Lot(08)

Hi Everybody,
I have noticed that when a Stock Transfer lot is created, the 'Data for lot orogin' tab in the Inspection Lot shows Vendor code in 'Data for goods receipt' section at times and at times Vendor code is not included in this section.
Please throw some light on the situations under which the vendor code is included and excluded.
Regards,
Manish.

I can't say for sure but I would compare the triggering document. I.e. Exactly what material movement is used in each case and what type of document triggered it, (I.e. an STO order). Than look at those documents and see if and why a vendor number is available.

Zero Qty line elimination in Stock Transfer Proforma Invoice

Hello all,
We are making Stock Transfer Order between two plants within the same co code (ME21N). We are having automatic bacth determination at delivery level (VL10B). Automatic batch determination generates one header line without qty and others with qty. During Proforma invoice creation, all the rows (including zero qty row of header level batch) from delivery are getting copied into the proforma invoice. I want the system to copy only those rows having qty greater than zero from delivery in to proforma invoice.
In case of normal sales invoice this problem is not occuring.
I need your advice on the above mentioned problem.
Thanks in advance.
