Transfer posting without PO release

[Former Member]

Dear Team,

I have created the subcontract PO, but not released. In MB1B transaction, system is allowing to do Goods transfer to my subcontractor, without PO release. Here i have two quiries.

1. System is allowing to do the transfer without PO release.

2. System is allowing to do the transfer of more child material quantity than specified in PO.

Are these the standard system behaviour OR any settings required.

Can we do the transfer posting to Subcontractor,in MIGO transaction with refernce to PO. When i select the "A08 transfer posting", system is showing the reference document as "R02 Material Document, R09 Reservation, R10 other". Here it is not displaying the "R01 Purchase Order"

Could you pl clarify those issues.

Thanks & Regards,

the material transfer to the subcontractor is not linked to the PO.

Have a closer look into ME2O transaction.

do a movement and check table MKPF and MSEG, you will not find a link to a PO number.

This is especially designed to allow to transfer components for several orders at one time e.g. to save transportation costs.

Hi,

Thanks for your input.

If you use ME2O transaction, system will allow to transfer the material to vendor N number of times. User don't have any control. Is there any control is available in system

User has full control in ME2O, as this is the transaction that informs him about stock level at subcontractor and open requirements. of course he has to start thinking after reading.

Imagine you have 20 subcontranct orders in one month.

do you want to send 20 trucks to your subcontractor to send the components, or do you try to optimize the truck load and just send 1 truck per week having the components for 5 subcontract orders?

Hi,

This is a typical case, you will have to use a user exit / badi, plz explore in - IM - Maintain Customer Exits and Business Add-Ins - BAdI: Creation of Material Document

Take technical consultant's help.

MB1B transfer posting is not required PO.

Purchase order selection option is displaying in MIGO transaction for transfer posting in IDES client.

Any activation is required for this

Hi,

To make available Po fiield during transfer posting 541, You can activate PO number as a required field for 541 mvmt. then in MB1B, you can enter PO number.

Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory ->

Goods Issue / Transfer Postings -> Define Screen Layout.

Kind Regards,
