Handling Stock Differences in TO Confirmation

[khurram_barakzai]

Experts,

Scenario:

We are using WMS at a Central Storage Location. This store feeds satellite Sub-Stores based on their stock requirements. At times. the material confirmation at Picking time at Central Storage Location has differences in comparison to the quantities mentioned in the transfer order. The issuance is material is triggered from MM Goods issuance with reference to a Reservation. Since the material transfer is posted in MM with reference to the reservation to the sub store, what is the best practice to bringing it back to the Central Storage Location? and adjusting the differences?

Thank you,

Barakzai.

So you are posting goods issue before the goods are even picked.

There are 2 options, you cancel your goods issue and do it with the correct quantity again

or you confirm the picking with difference, see Confirmation - Warehouse Management - SAP Library

I have actually never heard the term Sub-store (I know SAP store )

What movement are you doing when you say goods issue?

Dear Jurgen,

The movement types being used for the issuance of material are 301, 311, 201 and 241.

As per the standard process mentioned in the manual, all issuance's are triggered from MIGO in MM. if there is an alternative method of GI where pick list is created in the start and MIGO posting is done in the end, catering the mentioned scenario, I would really like to learn about it. Please share the link of it as well.

No there is nothing ready to use to get pick lists prior to the movements mentioned by you. This requires some own customizing. We have for example the stock list LX02 accessible from our Intranet. People can just select an item, enter the requested quantity and their cost center. This creates a TR in the system along with a reservation in MM.  Warehouse people create a TO and pick the material while the user is walking from his workplace to the warehouse. He gets his material, the TO is confirmed and this triggers the MM movement.

Dear Jurgen,

I have gone through with the possibility of customization of the process as suggested. However, While going through it, I realized that there will be a lot of control issues that need to be captured in the validation of the customized solution.

Instead, I have now opted for STO and have influenced the business in adapting this procedure for stock transfer instead of Reservation of Movement type 301 and 311.

I have also tested STO for issuance of material against Account Assignment. and have verified them for both Cost Center, AUC and Order.

Coupling STO with Outbound will enable me to create the Picking list prior to issue posting in MM. this will fulfill the users requirement and pave the way for further SAP Utilization.

Your views are welcome.

Thank you,

Barakzai.
