reference movement type

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

In interfaces when assigning Im movement type WM movement type, why we assign IM movement type to Reference movement type and then reference movement type to WM movement type,

Why cant we assign directly IM movement type to WM movement type.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you want to control different movements in WM, you must have reference movement type. You can do this with the help of following indicators.

the stock special indicator / WM

the movement indicator

the special stock indicator

the special movement indicator / WM

For example: You can use special movement indicator to move the stocks directly to fixedbin. Also you can use this indicator to move stocks directly to production storage bin etc.

You can have different controls like above, If you assign directly WM movement type to IM Movement type.

Hi,

Stock postings in Inventory Management (MM-IM) are represented by movement types. Together with other indicators, the movement type, which is used for goods movements in the MM-IM component, refers to a reference movement type of the Warehouse Management system (LE-WM). Using this reference movement type, the SAP system finds the following information:

the movement type for the Warehouse Management system

the stock category of the quants that are to be created

the indicator for generating the transfer requirement and the posting change notices

In order to determine a WM movement type, the SAP system uses the following information:

the warehouse number

the reference movement type from the WM system

the stock special indicator / WM

the movement indicator

the special stock indicator

the special movement indicator / WM

The entry *** in the column WNo (warehouse number) indicates that the reference movement type applies to all warehouse numbers. The WM movement type is then found in the column MTy (Movement Type).

With the help of this WM movement type, the SAP system calls up the table in which the movement type for determining the processing of the goods movement in the Warehouse Management system is defined.

Check the WM reference movement types that correspond to the IM movement types. If you have the movement tye 999, the movement in MM-IM has no effect on the Warehouse Management system.
