Query on Syclo Vehicle Stock component used with Service Manager

Hi All,

This query is regarding the Vehicle Stock Component which we have used as an addon on the standard service manager application.

With the Stock Transfer functionality in SAP,  when transferring the material we use the movement type which is 311, 313, 315 etc which has its significance.

For example 311 is a one step process and 313 and 315 makes a 2 step process to transfer material from one location to other.

Stock transfer in Syclo seems to be a single step process.  while checking I found a Material movement type and code global ie

<<MaterialDoc.TransferGoodsMovementCode>> = 04

<<MaterialDoc.TransferGoodsMovementType>> = 301

Is this the same movement type which is being used in SAP , If yes then why is the type different in Syclo?

Please explain the functionality.

Also If I want to make use of the other movement type what is the step I need to follow.

Please guide and suggest

Thanks and Regards

Neha,

Mike is correct, we use: "<<MaterialDoc.TransferGoodsMovementType>> = 301" to handle transfers within Service Manager because "301" is the code for an Intra-plant transfer, meaning within the same plant.  The product does not allow Inter-plant transfers (between two different plants).  Stock Transport Orders can be created/received between plants, supporting Inter-plant stock movement.

HI Mike, Jason

Thank you so much, the information is really very helpful .

I followed the document and found that

301 - Plant to plant transfer in one step

303 - Plant to plant transfer in two steps – stock removal

305 - Plant to plant transfer in two steps – putaway

311 - Transfer of storage location to storage location in one step

313 -  Transfer of storage location to storage location in two steps – stock removal

315 - Transfer of storage location to storage location in two steps – putaway

At present Syclo is using 301 movement type

Now If my requirement is to follow the goods transfer from storage location ( This can happen be in same plant)  should I change the

<<MaterialDoc.TransferGoodsMovementType>> = 301 to 311.

Is my understanding correct here ?

Also If I want to split the transfer into two step process how should use the code 311 and 315 ?

Please explain how can I achieve this requirement.

Thanks and Regards

Neha,

Better question for Mike or other CRM experts.  I am primarily an Agentry programming guru, and certainly not an SAP transaction expert at this point.  I can tell you that changing those globals may have unwanted consequences during posting from the device.  You may need to modify the java class to set other BAPI values that are required for these other types you listed.  You also could get lucky and it will just work, but I doubt it.

Hi Jason/Neha,

Unfortunately, while I have some familiarity with goods movements through the use of the BAPI in different circumstances, I can't be confused with an expert on CRM/SCM.  Nor am I an expert on ABAP which this change would require some back end modifications.

The two step process does require that you execute a 303/313 first and then a 305/315 to complete that which is performed in a 301/311.  I do not know enough about SCM/CRM to know why you would need to use the two step process unless you are using some material status along the lines of In-Transit when the Putaway takes place with some significant time delay after Stock Removal.  I would think that would involve a Plant to Plant transfer, but don't know for sure.

Neha,

The Vehicle Stock component for Service Manager provides inventory functionality for tracking

stock items stored in vehicles, such as work trucks or vans. This component is provided and

intended for use by those who keep stock items in vehicles used for daily work and for

environments in which those items must be tracked.  Having said that each  truck/van in SAP is configured as storage location.  Vehicle stock supports storage to storage location transfer wherein one technican can transfer stock to other techncian.  That's the business use case vehichle stock supports.  Vehicle stock doesn't support all the transfer posting  like 303/305/313/315 movement types supported in MIGO. if you want enhance base product to support 2 step plant to plant and 2 step storage location to storage location it can be done.  The BAPI is still same only inputs to from - plant / storage location to  - plant/storage location will change for 303/305 or 313/315 movement types.

You need to design screen flows for 2nd  step process on Agentry  side,for 1st  and 2nd step plant to plant or storage location to storgae location you need to decide how you want to display from / to  plant and storage location and whether you want to trigger 2nd  step based  on in transmit stock  of  1st step process?    You can reuse some of Java and SAP code to support 2 step process.

let me know if  answered your question.

Thanks

Hi Mike, Jason, Manju

Thanks a lot for all this information.

I shall follow all the guidelines -

- By changing the global and check the issues

- By checking the In transit step between the two steps

- Based on the above steps I shall create screens and check how it should work.

However I shall come back with more queries regarding the same

Thanks again

Regards

Hi Neha,

I would recommend going into SAP ERP t-code SE37 and look up the documentation on BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.  It is one of the few BAPIs that has good documentation so you can see some of the specifics there, but I think the difference between a 301 and 311 is that one is Inter-company and the other is Intra-company.  Been a while since I worked with transfers, but it should be a reflection of how the financials work between versus within companies inside a corporation.
