Hi,

When you make the configuration setting for the pipeline material type as per your requirement.

When you configure for the material type setting ,as per standard setting Pipeline material will not be value update as well as quantity update.if you want to make the stock & issue, then mention the qty update in the configuration so that you can stock the material.

Normally pipeline material will be issued directly to the consumption,no stock nor inventory update will be happen.

Make the setting as per your Business requirement

Hi NDS,

Pipeline material is material that flows directly into the production process from a pipe (for example, oil) or another kind of conduit (for example,electricity). Unlike consignment material, pipeline material does not have to be required via Purchasing. Pipeline stock is not stock that is physically available in your warehouse. Material from the pipeline is always available, and can be taken from the pipeline in any quantity at any time.

Following are some of prerequisite for pipe line material

Material type should be PIPE

The material is not procured or planned.

The material is not stored and no inventory management is carried

out for it.

The material is not inventoried.

The material can be withdrawn from the pipeline in any quantity

at any time.
