Dear Experts,
Our company is discussing on how many plants should be divided and we would try to limit the number of plants as small as possible unless with a strong reason.
We currently meet an scenario which seems require the dividend of plants, and I would like to get more confirmations before the decision.
Our issue is about stock transport request created by MRP and our setting is as follow:
Plant: Plant1
Storage Location: Building1, Building2, Building3
It is assumed that Building1 is the supplying location for Material A, Building2 for B, and Building3 for C. And materials A, B and C can be stored in all 3 storage locations.
Now, Mateiral A is fall below the reorder point in Building3 and a STO is generated. By design of SAP, the STO only state the supplying plant (i.e. Plant1), but not the supplying location. My question is, how can the 3 Storage Locations know, who should be responsible for the good issue of Material A to Building3? In real case, we got over 70,000 stock material with different supplying locations, it will be really hard for users to determine which material they should handle.
Thanks,
Steven
