Stocks without update in MM/IM only in WM

Question

Dear Gurus
Pl. guide me on the below scenario
We need to post stocks only in the warehouse and quantity should be maintained only in the WM and not in the MM/IM
This is a different type of stock which are not part of standard inventory and are basically capitalized items which come from various projects. we dont need to bring them to inventory. but only maintain the stock quantities in WM /. Returns storage type
Thanks

Answer 1

I managed to map this process, please guide if the same can be implemented
Create a new returns storage type. Create a new movement types in WM for bringing in the returns without impacting the IM module ( copy of 561). Have a fixed storage type and bin. and one more movement type for issuing out the stock from the fixed storage bin ( copy of 562).
I understand that there shall be negative quants in the interim storage bin for the returns storage type, but this can be explained to the business
I suggest that you should forget this ASAP... There should be no material managed only in WM w/o MM.
In my opinion you should find out a real solution...
E.g.
- there's valuated and non valuated project stock --> you can receive the to be repaired materials as free of charge goods into non valuated project stock and store them there
- there's split valuation in SAP --> you can define one valuation type for goods to be repaired and you can set 0 standard price for them
- you can define another plant and define the related material types as non valuated for that specific plant; you can even assign that plant/SLoc combination to your WH (I would not prefer this if this kind of activity (repair) is not of big volume)
