Issuance of fuel to equipment from Project Stock

Former Member

Dear all,

We are trying to issue fuel to equipment moved to a project through ETM. We want to be able to track and record the consumption of the said material with respect to equipment and as such are using Fleet Management.

The problem we are facing now is that we can issue the normal plant stock using IFCU and record the consumption as well as auto generate material documents for the process. But, in this process the system only withdraws the plant stock. However, we want it to issue from the project stock and/or special stock.

In SPRO fleet management configuration "Goods Movement and Account Assignment for Usage Transaction" we can only define the movement types which post and issue material from project or WBS like 221 or 222 but we don't have the stock indicator field (Q , S etc) in the customization through which we can hit and issue the special project stock left at the storage location.

Any suggestions and tips for this ?

Regards,

Nouman

Hello again,

I just wanted to update on something I was looking into for the resolution of this issue ...

Movement types ... I tried copying and creating a new Z movement type and within I tried to assign a stock determination rule ... but in that only two special stock indicators can be defined ...  K or F ... mean while in other applications there are nearly 20 types ...

The nodes I was checking in are these :

SPRO > MATERIALS MANAGEMENT > INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND PHYSICAL INVENTORY > MOVEMENT TYPES

SPRO > MATERIALS MANAGEMENT > INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND PHYSICAL INVENTORY > STOCK DETERMINATION

So far unsuccessful ... If anyone else can guide about these rules and how to combine the special stock indicator with it ... I'll be grateful.

Regards,

Nouman

Hi

Not an exact solution, you can specify the WBS ( normally project will have WBS element) in the equipment  and change the setting in IMG to WBS element .

since there is no possiblity to specify the stock type

Thanks Krishna.

I already configured the system that way. That would only allow us to settle the cost to that particular WBS . We're already doing that, that's not the issue. The issue is consuming the stock dedicated for that project instead of the ones left at the plant.

I was thinking of working with a little customization, like enhancing the customizing screen and adding a field for the stock indicator but than perhaps I would have to ask the technical guys to also put in a check for the WBS in the equipment for the stock entry on the plant. Because we club together material for different projects on the same Storage location differentiated by the indicator and the WBS element field.

Any other ideas ?

I am not really sure how much will it help you but can you create a separate Gas Station for project linked with Project storage location and then do the consumption posting from there?

That's not the problem sourabh ... the problem is the type of stock at the gas station. Besides, there are a number of projects running and if we keep opening a new gas station for every project that would mean a lot of configuration activity every time there's a new project which we don't want.

Any other ideas ?

Nouman Butt - Have you tried with consignment stock (indicator K) scenario?

@Yogesh Dhokne - Can you explain how to do that ? How and where do i set the consignment indicator ? As far as I have explored the customization setting for this problem I have not found any settings or node for this particular purpose ...
