 Stock Transfer / Transfer Postings

Although postings are made in both

cases, simple “transfer postings”
differ from “stock transfers” in
that transfer postings do not
usually also involve a physical
material movement; instead,
simply the stock type, batch
number, or material number is
changed.
•  Further examples of transfer
postings are postings recording
release from quality inspection
or the transfer from blocked
material into unrestricted stock,
a change in the stock category
of the material

 Bin to bin Transfer

To transfer stock from one

storage bin to another storage
bin within the same
warehouse, you manually
create and confirm a transfer
order for the material to be
moved. A transfer
requirement is not needed.
•  Since the total quantity of
stock in the warehouse
remains the same, stock
movements that take place
within the same warehouse
number do not require the use
of the Inventory Management
system.

Create TO from Stock List
The new report ”Stock Transfer”
allows the creation of
Transfer Orders from a list of
bin stock.
•  The following tasks can be
performed from this report:  
•  Clear bins or bin (for
example, because of
maintenance work or for
other reasons).  
•  Group together stocks that
are dispersed throughout the
warehouse (consolidation).  
•  Supply stocks to a picking
area.  
•  Transfer stock as soon as a
specified capacity has been
reached.  
•  Transfer stock when there
has been a change in the
storage classes in a storage
type.

Material to Material / Change in Batch

A stock transfer from material to

material requires that both
materials are managed in the
same base units of measure.
•  A stock transfer from material
to material can be necessary if
a material changes over the
course of time. It no longer
matches the data defined in the
material master, but rather fits
the criteria of another material
master number. This typically
occurs in the chemical and
pharmaceutical industries.
•  Use the same transaction to
change the batch identification
of a material. Enter the same
material number, but change
the batch information.

Stock Transfer / Transfer Posting (II)
Physical stock transfers can
occur at three different levels:
 
• Company code to company
code  
•  Plant to plant  
•  Storage location to storage
location
• Such a stock transfer consists
of a goods issue from the
issuing point and a goods
receipt at the receiving point.
You can post stock transfers
in one step or two.
• To transfer material company
code to company code, you
use the transaction plant to
plant, but the plants are
assigned to different
company codes. In this
instance, two accounting
documents are generated, one
for the sending plant and one
for the receiving plant.

Stock Transfer / Transfer Posting : Plant to Plant
A plant-to-plant transfer posting
in the Inventory Management
system can result in a posting
change within a warehouse
number.
•  If stocks for two separate
plants are managed within the
same warehouse number, a
transfer posting in the
Inventory Management
system results in a posting
change within the warehouse
number (in the WM system).
•  However, if the two plants
are managed in two separate
warehouse numbers, the
transfer posting results in a
stock removal from the one
warehouse number and a
stock placement into the
second warehouse number.
