Consumed pending ROH stock against order first!!!

[former_member224727]

Hi Experts,

Please help me to design following business process.

We have tank in which ROH material placed and outlet from tank is at 10 inch level. So the amount of ROH material under that outlet never consumed from the tank. Say it is 1 KG which is never getting consumed from the tank/system. This stock is in unrestricted @ MMBE. When we add more stock to the system SAP saws total stock = 1 KG + new stock = xx KG.

If requirement comes then system deduct stock from total qty, but business wants system to suggest - consumed pending stock (1 KG) first then unrestricted stock (new stock) against order (261 mov). I believe this we can handle using stock determination rule, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Please suggest if you have any idea.

How it helps here?

Business wants if they want to consume without order then system should suppose qty from unrestricted ,but if they want to consume against PO then system should propose qty from pending stock. Help to understand.

Let me give you some details, so you can help to design this in my system.

1) We have tank in which we keep raw material & outlet is at some level. So under that outlet if we have any material then system should not allow business to use. Currently SAP keeps this in unrestricted & business is able to consume, but physically they are not. Please suggest how can I define this stock in system? Can I use safety stock for same purpose?

2) We have vendor consignment stock in our system under unrestricted. Now when we consume stock against PO then system should first propose from unrestricted stock & once unrestricted stock consumed then it should propose from consignment stock. Please suggest how can I handle? what are system change for this?

Dear,

Yes you can handle it through stock determination rule you can withdrawal it through different storage location and different stock type like unrestricted and consignment stock.

In OSPX, create Stock detrmination group and rule and define the stg for picking consignment stock, and unrestricted stock qty praposal = 1 and 2

First priority is to be given to special stock K preority 1.

In OPJ2, assign this rule to production order type, and Operation for stock determination/batch determination = 3,4 or 4.

Assign the rule in plant/storage loc view 2 to raw material mastrer.

Now do the stock determination in production order or in good issue.

Thanks Rupesh for reply. So are you suggesting me I can resolved my 2nd requirement using stock determination rule? If I maintain your suggested setting then system will propose first unrestricted & then from consignment stock. Is my understanding correct?

How can I map my 1st req? How can I define stock in system which is under outlet? So system should not allow to use this stock.

[rupesh_brahmankar3]

Dear,

In that case define two storage location One is for tank and second one for outlet. You can use the stock determination for storage lactation as priority as outlet. So system will consider the stock from that location only.

In our case we don't two different storage location. We are maintaining all stock in one location.

[rupesh_brahmankar3]

Dear,

This would be logical storage location only in system. If you check on shop floor there would not be any storage location as such. But in SAP system we define the storage location for shop floor too as intern storage location which is logical storage location where we transfer the material from main location.

Hope it will help you out.

I maintained setting as suggested & now system do stock determination as expected if I click "stock determination" button in order conformation screen, but per business req they don't want to click on 'stock determination' button during qty issue to order. They expecting system to do auto stock determination at saving. Is it possible?

Can you suggest some exit or enhancement if possible?

[rupesh_brahmankar3]

Dear,

For automatic stock determination please try the Enhancement CONFPP05 with  BF_STOCK_DETERMINATIONor try  Badi WORKORDER_GOODSMVT here built logic to call  stock determination function.
