Plant has been physically closed down but there is still stock in it

[Former Member]

Hi MM Gurus

I need help on this problem urgently. The scenario is as follows:-

Some of our plants are physically closing down because they are not used more frequently and when we did a stock count we found out that there is still some stock lying on our plants.

What is the best way that I can use to take the the stock out on the plants that have closed down?

Another scenario is that on the same plants that are closing down , the system shows that there is still stock on some of the materials but physically there is no stock. What is the best way to handle this?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

follow the phyiscal process.

If the plant is to be shut down, what do you do with the material?

you probably move it to a different plant, or you sell it, or you scrap it...........

Whatever happens, SAP has a movement type that supports this process.

to remove stock in SAP that is not found:

Create a physical inventory document via MI31.

count it and enter the result via MI04.

Post the difference via MI07.
