Hi Kuber,

many thanks for your feed back. Based on a link your forwarded, it explanes to maintain a table in question only manually. So, seems that to maintain it automatically is not provided within SAP standard?

Hi,

Please explain your issue/scenario in detail.

" Within WM, pre-allocated stock is typically material that is required for goods issue, for example backordered stock, material needed in production or material requested by a customer, which is not in the warehouse. When you create a transfer order to place material into stock, the system checks to see if the material is designated as "pre-allocated". If so, the system displays a

message identifying the goods as pre-allocated stock.

Stock Placement with Active Bypass

The system activates the active bypass, when it identifies a "pre-allocated" material in a stock placement transfer order. The material is not placed in reserve storage but is routed directly from the goods receipt interim storage area to the destination that you have specified in the stock-out table.

1. When you create the transfer order for stock placement, the system looks at the movement type record to determine if it should check the material for pre-allocated stock.

2. If the pre-allocated stock indicator is set for the movement type, the system then checks the stock-out table. Data about stock that has already been allocated to fill an order is stored in this table.

3. If the material is listed in the stock-out table, the system activates the active bypass and displays a message on the Transfer Order Preparation screen to inform you that the material is pre-allocated stock.

Setting up Active Bypass for Putaway

For the relevant movement types for goods receipt, you set the pre-allocated stock indicator. If a material is needed for production or for a customer order but it is not in stock in the warehouse, you enter it into the stock-out table.

To set up the relevant movement type for active bypass

1. Choose Logistics Execution Warehouse Management Activities Transfers Define movement types in Customizing for Warehouse Management.

2. After you select the movement type, select Consider Pre-alloc. (in the Control area of the screen).

To enter material into the stock-out table:

3. Choose Logistics Logistics Execution Outbound Process Goods Issue for Other Transactions Picking Maintain Missing Stock. from the SAP menu.

The system displays a list of entries in the stock-out table.

4. To enter new pre-allocated stock, choose Edit New entries. The system displays a screen on which you enter information about the pre-allocated stock. On this screen you must enter the warehouse number, material, plant, storage location, current number, storage type and storage bin where the material is needed, and the required quantity. The system uses the current number to differentiate entries for the same material. You can enter any number for the current number.
