Dear colleagues,
I have been working with stock transport of sales order stock before and it worked - I have no issues with it. But this time my client needs to transport normal stock in one plant to sales order stock in another plant. FYI, this is a cross-company STO, i.e. item category "standard" in the PO.
I thought it was the requirements class in the "Transfer of requirements" function that controled which stock my STO was going to consume, but I am unsure now. I checked the requirement class that SAP assigned to my STO delivery of sales order stock (the one that works - SO stock to SO stock) and it is 041, i.e. the very standard reqmt class that has nothing to do with sales order stock! So how does SAP determines it is the sales order stock that I want to transport?
The IMG notes for the setting "Determination Of Requirement Types Using Transaction" imply that there can be special rules implied for special stocks:
Example
There are business transactions, such as consignment stock processing, in which the material with its planning characteristics is not important, rather the transaction itself. An issue from the customer's consignment stock should not trigger an availability check against planning at the plant as layed down by the planning strategy but rather against special stock.
How does it work for special stock then?
TIA for any hints!
Raf
