Help..Problem GI for Warehouse Management

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

I have a problem for GI process in warehouse management. When there are stock transfer material sloc non WM to sloc WM , user have to create transfer order and confirm transfer order to place material in storage bin. Otherwise, if user didn't create transfer order, material will stay in Storage Type 998 (AUFNAHME).

If there are GI process after that, for example GI to cost center, user still can issue material from Sloc even material hasn't placed into storage bin. Then material issued will stay in Storage Type 911 (GI Area for Cost Center).

Question is...how can i clear Storage Type 911 (GI area for Cost Center) after GI process??Is there any way i can restrict GI process so that user can't issue material which hasn't placed into storage bin (still in AUFNAHME)???

Help me please...

Rgds,

Aleluya.

First of all:

It's strange that storage type 998 is used in your system for GR in transfer posting process - it is used for initial stock upload in standard system. Interim storage type 921 is used for SLoc-SLoc transfer posting.

Is there any way i can restrict GI process so that user can't issue material which hasn't placed into storage bin (still in AUFNAHME)???

In standard system not. Maybe through development you could do a check whether there're open TR for the material in connection with the interim storage type or you could check the quants for the interimn storage type...

But I think and strongly recommend you should not do this.

The process in SAP (process in ERP) and the physical process (moving the goods physically) should go paralelly. So, my opinion is that you should find out why the goods are not placed in storage bin in SAP whilst they are already in the bin physically. Maybe workers need training / workers have to keep to the rules / you have to revise the process/ use RF devices / etc.

Question is...how can i clear Storage Type 911 (GI area for Cost Center) after GI process

You can solve it (e.g.):

1. Manually, in the sort run: you move the suitable quant from the interim storage type used for SLoc-SLoc stock transfer (921) to interim storage type 911 by LT01 / LT10 (because you should have a +quant in 921 and a -quant in 911).

2. In the long run: e.g. you can set TR creation for your movement type and processing those TRs (from LB10) you will get the TO and realize the goods movement.

SPRO > LE > WM > Interfaces > IM > Define Movement Types > LE-WM Interface to Inventory Management

3. Immediate TO creation for these postings. Please sea OSS note 136796 if you are interested in this solution.
