"No Goods Movement Allowed" at the Plant Level

[Former Member]

Is there configuration at the Plant Level to specify "No Goods Movement Allowed"? I want to stop the user's from any type of goods movement but at the Plant level. I thought I had seen this config but now can't seem to find it or maybe it doesn't exist??

Thanks in advance for any assistance on this matter!

Specify the movement Types against the USER ID and hand over to BASIS , They will do

Thanks for the information. I am going to block each material/plant combination and consider blocking SD, also.

Hi Stacy,

I dont know the purpose of this requiremnt but definitely you can do this.

Pl. use Plant Specific Material status field in Purchasign view(MARC-MMSTA).

Using this field you can block the material at plant level for different purposes. some of them are as below

01 Blocked for procment/whse

02 Blocked for task list/BOM

03 Blocked / Excess Stock

Hope this will help you.

Hi Stacy,

I think you should describe a lil bit more on your requirement, so we can provide a better solution.

Now looking at it, you can do either of the following:

1) Control users access by limiting his/her authorization (PFCG)

2) For each materials under plant (Set a blocking status 01/02/03 under the Xplant Mat status field in Material Master)

3) Physical Inventory document for each storage location under the particular plant (highly unlikely).

I think option 1 is the most logical solution so far.

Good Morning,

To better define my requirement, we are no longer going to use a particular Plant code so I don't want the user's to accidentally do any goods movement agaisnt that "obsolete" plant number. Based on the way my security is established, I think that number 2) is the best option, which will block the goods movement for that material/plant combination.

Please let me know based on the requirement above, if this would still be the best option.

Thanks for your assistance!

Hi Stacky,

As per your requiremnt, option 2 seems useful and easier.

Update all the mateirals of that obsolute plant using the field MARC-MMSTA.

Stacy,

Since the plant itself is obsolete, you may also want to consider SD related blocking, not just material movements (MM02 Sales org 1 tab, field "x-distr chain status"). You may also wish to tag each Material master 'plant' entry as deleted (MM06).

Hi Stacy

If it is your intention to restrict users to do goods movement only in 'their' respective Plants, then you should do this through Autorisations.
