Message regarding Stock in other Plants

Hi friends,
I have come across the following requirement to meet .
When a PR or PO will be raised for one or more than one material if stock is there in the particular Plant or any other Plant in the Company code there should be a warning message that stock (quantity) exist in these Plants .Accordingly the user will think of raising the PR or PO.
Is it possible and if so what is to be done.

Hi,
System will not issue any Warning Message for this but Availability check can be carried out during PR and PO Creation;
Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Requisition > Set up Stock Transport Requisition > Here perform following functions;
- Create Checking Rule
- Define Checking Rule
- Assign Checking Rule
And for PO, Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up Stock Transport Order > Here perform following functions;
- Create Checking Rule
- Define Checking Rule
- Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule
Here generally used Checking Rule is B i.e. SD Delivery
And then in PR and PO, click menu Environment > Availability

Transfering Subcon stocks to Other Plant of same vendor

HI i need your help.
We are transfering to a new company code, new plant.
On old plant we have materials issued to vendor for subcon.
Is there a way to transfer those stocks to other plant of same vendor?
Can you also help me on this process (subcon)
to send the materials in vendor i have to create subcon PO first,
then transfer the materials of the assembly to vendor using what tcode and what movement type?
Im new to this..
regards,
Najah

Hello
Here both Plant are under same company code, no need to configure the clearing accounts.
During transfer posting ,
The inventory value of the plant (valaution area) Transaction event BSX will be reduced and same will posted in the stock account BSX of the other plant.
Entries will be :
Example
                        Valuation class          Value     G/L account
Plant 1   BSX              3000                 -XXXX    300000
Plant 2   BSX              3000                 +XXXX   300000
If both plants are in different company codes, then clearing accounts will comes into picture when you transfer post with 301 'O'.

MRP with stocks in other plant

Hi,
Scenario: 5 stocking Plants + 1 Manufacturing plant under a company code.
For a finished product, all 6 Plants have stock.
For MRP, the demand of the finsihed product from all 6 plants is combined and fed as PIR feeding at manufacturing plant.
Question: How to make SAP to consider stock of all plants and generate the planned order for the difference Qty?
E.g. PIR at Mfg plant = 100 Nos.
Stocks at 5 Stocking plants = 50 nos
Stocks at 1 Mfg plant = 10 nos
Hence on MRP run, system to generate planned order for 100 - (50+10) = 40 Nos at mfg Plant.
Thanks

Hi Nitin,
SAP's planning is based on lean-manufacturing practices - i.e. you will never have stocks in excess of requirements (plus safety stock). So, in reality, you will not need to "adjust" your production for stocks lying at stocking plants (stocks at stocking plants would be just equal to safety stock logic defined at each plant).
Now say some demand at any of the stocking plants got cancelled, and you end up with excess stocks at that moment. So in next MRP-run, system will delete some future STOs. Or, if there is nothing to delete, then MRP-list will show exception message # 25, and you can decide how to move that excess stocks.
So, in conclusion, adjustment of production, based on stocks at all 6 plants, will NOT be needed. Just produce as per MRP proposals, and be on the lookout for exception message # 25. (Hope you are using special procurement key for demand transfer from stocking plant to production plant).

Considering stock in other plants' storage location

Hi all,
E.g. For 1 material I have stock in 2 plants A and B. Major consumption being in plant A (say 80%). So when I execute MD07 for this material with MRP controller for plant A (collective overview), in the 'plant stock' column I would like the stock to be sum of stock in plant A and plant B. Is it possilble ?
Regards,
Yogesh

Hi,
For that you can use MD48, but it is per material. If you want such feature for multiple materials, then you will have to build a custom report (for stocks refer to table MARD). As std SAP ECC does not have this feature.
Hope it clarifies.

Vivek

How to consider the stocks of other plants in MRP run

Hello All,
I have a requirement in which A finished material which it´s planning and production is on PLANT 1 and and is transfered to plant 2 (there is no production and no planning on this plant, it is used for storage only). In that case, I would like the MRP to check the stock of finished material both in plant 1 and 2 for creating planned orders .
I know this can be possible with APO . but is there any other way round we can do this like MRP area or scope of planning or some z developemenmts.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Anupam Sharma

Is there any stock at production plant? Where does the goods issue to sales occur?
If both plants can have stock and sales can occurs in both plants then it is the issue not only stock but also sales order consumption with planned independent requirement. You need to have two BADI to do so. First is the one you mentioned and the flexible PIR also (MD_PIR_FLEX_CONS).
If only storage plant has stock and sales occurs here, then you may want to explore special procurement type produce in other plant and make storage plant a planning plant. The receipt of production order at production plant will posted into storage plant directly.
If sales occurs in storage plants, and there are stock in both plant, use special procurement type transfer from others (40 as standard). When you run MRP, the system will check stock at storage plant first, then if shortage, create stock transfer request to production plant. At production plant, the stock transfer request will be your demand to offset with stock there before create planned order.
Like other comments stated previously, SAP cannot handle the multiple plants planning very well.

Issue Return stock to other plant for repair

Hi All,
I have customer return stock in one plant A returned through return sales delivery. after PGR, the return stock is raised by that quantity in that plant A. now, I want to transfer this material to another plant R where the repair will take place on that material. is it possible to do this without converting this stock to un-restricted? It should be issued and received as Blocked or Return stock only in the receiving plant.
I tried transfer posting with movement type 455 and it does this but there within a single transaction, issue and receipt takes place which is not acceptable to client. minimum two transaction of actual goods issue and goods receipt are required so that the stock in transit is traceable. let me know if this is possible.
I have already gone through number of threads but could not resolve it. OSS note 430074 and 489543 as well.
Thanks,
Binita

Hi There
We can have the work around through minor enhancement, for this have to create the Locations(Say R* in both the plants, STO- Order type ZUB, Prod Order Type-ZRM) and these locations, you can make is as a not relevant to MRP through config,, So that these stock will not be considered for the MRP/Availability check,,
And can have the restriction that Transfer shd happen between R* location (R* to non R* Error, However it is you can have one golden loc to send the material to any locations- R* or Non R, since once the rework done you have to send to customer) and same applicable for the order/PO doc types (for ZUB/ZRM orders Issue and rec locations shd be from/to R, if non R* through error msg)
Through this you can control the movement of customer returns,, i dont think from Blocked to Blocked you can do STO and receive the materials and process it till send back to the customer,,
The above said process i used in my proj, it was successful, if it is ok for your business you can utilize,,,
Thanks

Mrp considering other plant stock also

hi gurujis,
        I want to run mrp for some finished products, while running mrp, it has to consider the stocks in other plants also. is there any settings for that?
     all valuable replies will be rewarded.
thank you
regards,
senthil

Hi Senthil,
First of all I admit that my suggestion would not be as 100% per your requirement.
It means, if you want to use the scope of planning, it must be at plant(s) level for all the materials which are relevant. ( only for some finished products it is not possible).
I appreciate Mr. Murugesan's comments..
Now let's come to the point.
If you want to do planning for Multiple Plants then proceed as follows:
1. T. Code : OM0E
2. Planning Scope : Put 4 digit (Alphabets/numeric) & Description
3. Double click on Sequence of plants (Left Side)
4. Put your Plants as per sequence (As per priority wise)
   i.e System will plan for Plants in this sequence only.
5. Use this Scope of planning in MD01 or MDBT as required.
Planning file entries created via stock transfer are automatically taken into account in the planning run.
This ensures that a material is also correctly planned in all plants affected even in the case of
stock transfer processing.
Best Regards,
Siva

Production at other plant

I have created sales order for material X. In Material BOm of X there is material y with special procurement 80 ( production from other plant ) in line item of Bom.
When I do MRP MD01 in first plant then system does not create planned order for material y in other plant.
But when i do MD50 then system creates planned order in other plant.
Also when production is completed in other plant for material Y then it does not built stock in First plant but it creates sales order stock in other plant.

Mayuresh,
Sorry for the very late reply. I do not think you need to built stock of Y in the first plant. You can just do good issue of Y (in stock in 2nd plant) to the production order of X (the first plant).
If you need to have stock of Y in first plant then you will need to manually do a plant to plant transfer posting goods movement.
Hope this helps. If you have additional questions please come back.
Thanks,
Ram

Which movement type use for return stock form one plant to other plant in

HI friends i am working on STO PROCESS
i need to transfer return stock from one plant to other plant as a return stock i am using Mvt type 455
but system shows following error
Update control of movement type is incorrect (entry 455 X X _ L)
Message no. M7226
Diagnosis
The system could not find entry 455 X X _ L in any of the movement type control tables.
Procedure
Cancel current processing.
Contact your system administrator.
Action to be taken by the system administrator
Check in Customizing for Inventory Management under Copy, Change Movement Types whether the entry is contained in the Update control view for the movement type.
If the entry is missing, proceed as follows:
For standard movement types, this means that the given process is not supported using the present data combination. Do not create any entries without prior arrangement with your SAP consultant. Otherwise, incorrect postings may result.
For customer-defined movement types (beginning with 9, X, Y, or Z), this may mean that they have not been fully defined. Delete the movement type and re-create it by copying a standard movement type.
thanks in advance

Hello,
     I think there is a standard STO movement type you can use. But I can't remember. Why don't you try to find it and test if it fit your requirement?
     There are some information for your reference. Please check on website:
http://www.sap-img.com/materials/difference-for-stock-transfer-and-transfer-posting.htm
Using STO without delivery:
doc.type: UB
GI:351, GR:101
STO with delivery:
GI:641, GR:101
delivery type:NL
STO with delivery and billing:
GI:643, GR:101
delivery type:NLCC , billing type:IV
     And if you want to use the way to return the goods replenishment, try to flag the return checkbox while you create purchase order item. Of course, corresponding configuration is required.

Regarding to stock in the plant.

I maintained stock in the plant i.e. Unrestricted stock Having batch number . while doing the delivary the system showing "only 0 kg of the material is avilable.( i maintained the batch number in the delivary note also)".
may i know what are the settings needed?

have u posted the stock using using mb1c with batch number?
if not post the material using mb1c with batch numbers

Remove erropr message when stock available inmain stores

hi all
during conversion of planned order to process order ,if there is no stock on shop floor storage location then system give error message-'missing parts' even if stock is available in main stores in plant.
please suggest config setting require to remove that error .
regards

Dear,
There might be resrvation against the sales order so why that system showing the missing part.
Please check the and make committed quantity zero.
OR
In T.code OPJK (checking control), check for business transactions 1 (avl check during order creation), 2 (avl check during order release).
In scope of planning check if the required stock is included for avl check.
T.code OPJJ and remove the including resrvation.
In MRP 3 view, enter same the checking group as 02.
Also check MIRO.

Assign costumer in stock transfer between plants

Hi Gurus!
   I have a problems! I need to assing a customer in stock transger scenery and I can't open the quality and production environment to do this definition.
I customazing the process in SPRO (MM>P>PO>SSTO>Define Shippiment Data for Plants). However, I left the customer in blank because I have a different customer number in each environment.
Do you now the transaction to assign the customer without the open the environment for customazing?
Best regards,
Julio César

Dear Julio César,
                    SAP is very well advanced, before we encountered the problem - SAP has solutioin to it. Just we need to find out the right place. Thats it.
    As expressed by mate, In any project, where if they have STO scenario's ,they will follow either of the possibilites as explained below:-
- Having seperage account Group which has external number ranges.
      - in Development environment we do Customization & to assign the Customer numbers to thhe plant. we create Customers in Dev client. Assign this number in IMG ( Tx:OMGN)
Will transport the Customization to Quality.
Believe me. Transport will be successful. It will not go for any error saying that there is no customer exist in Quality. No it wont say. because its in display mode( as client is locked in Quality). Whenever client is open in Quality, go to this screen , system will trigger error message.
now create same customer numbers in Quality for testing.
Transport the same customization to Production & create Customers in Production as well.
if the account group set to be internal numbers. intially that it until STO customers created in Production. account group set as external number range. Once created another request will be created in Development & transported to Production via Quality.
We practically followed this strategy in 2 of our projects. Withoutt opening the client in Quality or in production.

Stock transfer between Plant/Storage location to Plant/Storage location

Dear Experts,
This is a MM component of SAP Retail.
We have 4 brands ( Plants of type B, Plants of type C etc) that needs inventory from the same Distribution center (Plant A) for some common products. Here the direction is to prioritize the inventory per brand. The requirement is one brand should not take the inventory of the other brand.
To overcome this problem , the solution proposed is to have different storage location for different brands in the same DC.
When we run replenishment planning for the brands and do a ATP check, the availability check should consider only the one issuing storage location in the DC which we allocated for the brand.
I do see the following set up in SPRO and I have done the following.
Step1: Activate Stock Transfer between Storage Locations SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations-> u2018Activate Stock transfer between storage locationsu2019
Step2: Assign Delivery Type and checking rule according to storage
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations->Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage
Step3: Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfer between Storage Locations
SPRO ->Material Management ->Purchasing ->Purchase Order ->set up stock transport order ->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers between Storage Locations 
Step4: Define Rule for Determination off Shipping Point SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Set-up Storage-Location u2013dependent shipping point determination->Define rule for determination of shipping point
Step5: Shipping Point Assignment According to Storage Location
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations-> Set-up Storage-Location u2013dependent shipping point determination-> Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location
Question.No:1- After completing the above set up in me21n, the issuing storage location field is greyed out. I am not able to enter any value here. Can you please help.
Question.No:2
I do see the following setting.
Under IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set up Stock Transport Order -->Business Add-In for Determination of Issuing Storage Location
Display the IMPLEMENTATION
Double click on the method GET_SUPPLYING_SL
Click the Execute button
Click the detail button on IF_EX_MD_EXT_SUP
Execute GET_SUPPLYING_SL
There is a prerequisite for this BADI .I have done those things.What i dont understand is where to force the combination of supplying site/issuing stor.loc/receiving site/receiving stor.loc
Kindly provide your inputs.
Thanks,
Vasanthan

Dear,
Have You configure MRP in second plant (where you want to transport the Material).
Please try with this and do again Po for stock transport.
