Stock Transfer of Blocked Stock Plant-to-Plant

[Former Member]

Hi..

I have an issue regarding Stock Transfer of blocked stock from one Plant-to-Plant.

I realize that blocked stock cannot be transfered directly.

But the issue here is that if we cannot transfer the blocked stock directly, that means we have to do transfer posting from blocked stock to unrest use then stock transfer using mov type: 301. Then in the destination plant, we transfer again to blocked stock.

If this is applied, then it will potentially raise other issues related to incorrect stock transfer by the other users once the material is released to unrest. use.

So, in short, that's why we need to have direct stock transfer scenario for this issue.

Kindly have your assistance

Thanks in advance

Hi ,

As you have rightly pointed out , blocked stock can not be transfered accross to another plant .

For doing such transfer , you will have to initially take the stock in to Un-rest. type in the issuing plant - but you can still receive it as blocked stock in the receiving plant - so that by the end of the transaction , its still in Blocked status only.

Also , note that , even though the type is Blocked , the stock is always available on quantity basis for MRP etc, hence , there is no issue in terms of stock qt's.

Hope this info will be useful .

Hi

Block Stock cannot me be transferred from Plant to Plant becuase, technically, Blocked Stock is not our stock but it belongs to the Vendor. Only when the goods have been accepted/sent to Quality do they become our stock and we can do other movements with them.

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks

Hi Albert,

Transfer posting using movement type 301 from one plant to other is applicable for unrestricted types only. We cant move the blocked stocks from a plant to other. Once blocked the material need to tested and if it found OK then u can transfer post the stock type from blocked to unrestricted. Then u can move the stock from plant to plant. If u need to move a blocked material within a plant this can be done using movement 325.

Hope this helps.

Hello Albert,

You are correct. We can not transfer blocked stock from one plant to another and you have to follow the same steps which you already mentioned.

As per the business logc, We can not move "Blocked" (Business term: Rejected/scrapped/spoiled) material out of our business unit except Retrun to Vendor or Scrap it. so it is also not logical to move "THAT kind of Stock" to another plant.

Hope this helps.
