Initial Uploading of Stock to MM

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I need to upload the initial stock as MM stock. When I tried with MType 561, it goes to WM (Warehouse Management) Stock. So, I do not want to upload the stock to WM. I need to upload to MM Stock. Your valuable inputs are solicited.

Hi,

Check whether you have assigned you have assigned your Plant/storage location to a warehouse in the following setttings

SPRO - Enterprise Structure - Assignment - Logistics Execution - Assign warehouse number to plant/storage location

If yes, remove the same & do 561 once again.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for your valuable point. But, we don't want to change IMG settings. Can I first upload the stock in WM and then transfer to MM? Let me know how to transfer the stock from WM to MM. This is for testing environment.

When you upload the stock, don't enter the storage location details (only maintain plant). Or use the storage location that is NOT tied to a warehouse.

if you load stock, then you have to have a storage location, except it is special stock like stock at a subcontractor, or stock in a customer consignment.

Or use the storage location that is NOT tied to a warehouse.

I agree to this statement.

However, if you have to load stock and your location is setup to be warehouse managed, then you should test the real case. What can you gain from a test load to MM only when you finally have to load to a warehouse managed location?

if you load with 561 into a warehouse managed location, then the stock goes to storage type 998. And from there you do a WM internal movement (create a TO) to move the material from 998 storage type to the final bins.

No need for an extra MM movement, this adds just complexity without any benefit.

Depending on the complexity of the warehouse you might be able to post it to the final bins directly with the MM movement, you just need a small customizing for the movement 561.

In any case the WM-TO to move from 998 storage type to final bin can be created as well with a load program
