Stock transfer

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I'm trying to create a purc req. with item category U(stock transfer). I write down material, plant and supplying plant manually.

Then in source of supply tab purc org comes automatically. similarly in contact person tab purc group comes automatically. I think purc group cames from material master but i could not find where it finds the purc organization.

This is a purchasing requisition for transfer of material from one plant to another. So there is no vendor. I need to find how the system finds purch organization automatically if there is no vendor.

For stock transfer with Stock Transfer Order, a vendor master is created for the supplying plant.

For simple stock transfer without STO, purchase org is picked from the enterprise structure link with that supplying plant.

If multiple purchase orgs are linked to that plant, it will use the latest purchase org that was used for procurement.

I'm not in the phase of purch order yet. I do not have a vendor master for supllier plant. I had run MRP and the sytem created a purchasing request. This purc request have item category stock transfer, the supplier plant is defined. Also purchasing organization is defined automatically. However, MRP offered organization is not assined to plant in customization. Actually it is confusing that when i try to change smth in the purc request the system gives error message " the purc organization is not defined for the receiving plant", but it offers me this purch org and plant when i run MRP or manually create the purc req.

As you mentioned the problem occurs when there are multiple purc org assined to the plant. I deleted other organizations and tested the sytem works as you said. In this condition you said it will use the latest purchase org that was used for procurement.

I think this is not the material's last procurement. May it be the last procurement of any material from the receiving plant?

Yes, exactly. Purchase Org is plant-specific not material specific.

I have now exactly determined how the system reacts.

1) system looks at user parameters. If there is no value for purc org goto 2.

2)check customization "assign purch org to plant". if there is one purc org assigned to receiving plant it takes this value. If more than one goto 3.

3) check customization "assign standard purch org to plant". if there is an assgined purc org for plant, take this

This 3rd item was the value which i was trying to find. I was very near but did not check it Thank you for your help.

Pur Org is from Vendor Master (for supplying plant)
