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

  • Stock transfer to subcontracting vendor through sales order stock

    Hi Gurus,
    MRP run is taken against sales order and subcontracting PR is generated with referance to that PR subcontracting PO is created, in components there are four material and against this component special Stock Indicator E is there.
    Now I want to transfer material to vendor through MB1B with referance to PO.
    when I  enter PO and movement type 541 no material is coming.
    Please advice.

    You create one stroge location like SC01 and Issue the material using the mvt type 311(loc to loc) or 301 plt to plt wherever the location is sitted. We are using this method for  good issue  to subcontracting. Finally using 231 mvt type make consumption entry from SC01.

  • 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

  • Revaluation in stock transfer to Sales Order stock from unrestricted

    User is trying to do a stock transfer posting from unrestricted to Sales order stock.  Now the system is throwing an error saying that account setting has not been done for UMB (OBYC setting).  I have given the GL for this UMB transaction type in OBYC>  UMB is for posting Gain/Loss from revaluation.
    I dont understand how a revauation happens when we transfer stock from unrestricted to Sales Order Stock ?  What is the purpose of that in our scenario, could you please explain.

    Hi:
            Normally it should not happen in case of stock transfer posting. Please check the movement type settings for valuation class of your material and see if the transaction type UMB has been set against valuation class in OMJJ...Account grouping.
    Hope it will help you.

  • Inter company stock transfer process

    Dear all,
    For example company code-A is sending the material to company code-B and it is sold by company code-B.
    As per the process given by SAP for inter company stock transfer we are creating a  Purchase Order ( PO type - NB) at company code-B.  based on this PO only company code -A will create a Delivery document and based on this delivery document company code B will do the MIGO and MIRO.
    for executing  this process  while creating PO at company code -B  we need to assign a Shipping Plant from which Company code-A  will send the material. So, for getting this shipping tab in PO, we need to assign the sending Plant code to the Vendor master ( company code-A is the  Vendor in  Company code-B) .As per SAP  for one vendor only one plant code can be assigned.But in our scenario material can be sent from several plants.
    So in this case how  we can assign those plants to one vendor so that the shipping tab will be available in the PO.
    Is it require to create that many vendors in this scenario or there may be any possible solution give by SAP to process this kind of scenarios.
    Regards,
    Abdul Jabbar

    Hi Abdul,
    we can assign those plants to one vendor so that the shipping tab will be available in the PO.
    In standard SAP it is not possible to add more than one plant to single vendor master(XK01).System allows you to add only on plant to vendor master.
    purchasing data->extras->add.purchasing data.
    For getting shipping point in PO
    1>STO can be configured
    2>shipping point determination can be configured in right manner.
    In Inter company STO,create vendor master for each and every plant. And use this vendor,whenever creating PO from receiving plant.Based on the vendor,shipping point will be determined in to PO.why because here we are creating receiving plant as vendor in supplying plant sales area.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Creating stock transfer reservation instead of P.req

    Folks,
    We have two materials ,both are external procurement and both are the same master data but one materials creating P.req and another materials is creating Stock transfer reservation(category BD) instead of P.reqs,Is there any specific setting which we missed to create P.reqs.
    Please through some lights on this.

  • 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,

  • MRP - Stock transfer PO

    Dear PP gurus

    My requirement is eventhough enough stock is not there , system should not considerd my stock transfer PO's for MRP run.

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

  • 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"

  • 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.

  • Delivery Split in Stock transfer Order

    Hello gurus,
                        In Stock transfer order process, Delivery has been split. In purchase order we have two materials, while creating delivery in VL10B System is splitting the deliveries and creating two delivery no. instead of one delivery. I checked everything but i could not reach out the solution. can you tell me what could be reason for this delivery split in Stock Transfer Order Process.
    Regards
    Soumendu

    SAP have provided a report ZLE_ANALYZE_DELIVERY_SPLIT in note 355404.
    This report tells you exactly what is causing the split by highlighting the cause in red. It does not make any change to the database on your system (i.e. no changes are made on your system). I would recommend you implement this report.
    Often, I have seen the delivery time being the cause of a delivery split. So check the values of LIKP-LFUHR for each delivery. But the above report would tell you exactly.
