Auto TO for PCN for Transfer Postings from Location to Location with in same Warehouse

[Former Member]

Gurus, here is the process we want to implement but not sure whether it is possible or not, please help.

We have two storage locations STRM and SPRE belongs to Plant 0114 assigned to warehouse U10. Alomost all the materials (Atleas 80%) are shared by both the locations. We often transfer the materials from STRM to SPRE and leave the stock in same bin. When we do MIGO transfer posting system is creating PCN, client wants to convert PCN to TO and confirm it automatically. I did the settings in SPRO-> LE ->WM->Activities-> Transfer -> Setup Auto TO, then schedule background job RLAUTA11 but not able to convert PCN to TO. We have same material in more than one bin in same storage type or different storage type. We are using FIFO for picking. Please advice the detailed settings required and what am i missing.

thanks

Dear Vikram ,

If both location are WM managed you could try using storage location control.

Here when you move inventory from one storage type to another system will perform storage  location flip in background .

Check IMG  >  Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Interfaces > Inventory Management > Define Storage Location Control

Dear Vikram ,

Navigate to IMG > Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Interfaces > Define Movement Types

Maintain relevant assignment for IM - WM movement table and and check automatic TO creation against that entry , System should create TO automatically

try same and let me know if its works.

Thanks

Hi,

For your query about auto TO creation failed in the back ground job, please check the following setting

Path: IMG-> Logistics Execution-> Warehouse Management -> Activities-> Transfers-> Set up automatic TO creation for TRs/PCN.

Then choose ‘assign control’ to add the indicator for the respective movement type.

It should contain the value =1.

Hello Vikram,

Whenever you are getting the message  “ “Automatic quant assignment not possible (T_LUBQU transmitted)”  ,

The meaning of this is, system is finding the quant in more than one storage type and hence system is asking you to select exact storage type. it is not possible to post the PCN transaction automatically.    Hence even though you made all the automatic setting transaction will fail.

I have following resolution.

After your transfer posting transaction, schedule the background job of new customized z transaction code including posting change function module.

L_TO_CREATE_POSTING_CHANGE.

In this FM, pass WH no, quant number – from transfer posting transaction. Also, in the same FM in the table T-LUBQU pass default values of desired destination storage type. You can also add default values of source storage type in T_LTAP_VB. Please contact your developer. He may be able to help you in this regard.

I faced similar issues and I resolved it in same way.

Thanks,

Hi,

For automatic TO creation, please check the below settings,

Path: IMG-> Logistics Execution-> Warehouse Management -> Activities-> Transfers-> Set up automatic TO creation for TRs/PCN.

Choose control data, add new entry to specify an indicator for automatic TO creation for your warehouse number.

Then choose ‘assign control’ to add the indicator for the respective movement type.

For Automatic TO confirmation,

Path: IMG-> Logistics Execution-> Warehouse Management -> Activities-> Confirmation.

Here, check the settings for storage type and movement type.

Let me know if you  need any more help.

Vijay thanks for quick Response. All the above setting are already done and background job is scheduled. Not sure whether the job works for LOC to LOC transfers with stock in multiple bins works or not. We are getting below error message,

  “Automatic quant assignment not possible (T_LUBQU transmitted)”

Thanks
