Why do we need Interim Storage Type ? If you say it's acting as an intermediatary buffer location... Then why don't we need any Interim Storage for Bin to Bin stock movement??

Any pointers will be appreciated .

You have answered the for your question number 1.

I am going to answer for your question number 2:

We usually have interim storage bins in interim storage types. But these will disappear after the stock moved from interim bins.

This interim storage type/bin concept is created to map the real business process. Let's talk about the examply GR from supplier. Usually,

Warehouse personnel, unload the stock from truck and keep a place called staging area. This is in SAP called Interim storage area.

At this time, transaction is completed for IM side, Ie the material document is created and MM-WM trigger point TR also created. and depends the SAP config settings, this TR may be converted to as a TO and waiting for the confirmation.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply ...

Did you mean ???

Bin -to-Bin is a mere WM side activity, there is no IM transactions taking place ...Hence Interim Storage Bin is of no use..

So Interim storage bin is essentially sought only when there is a transactions taking place in both IM - WM side ...arising the need of a 9** type open storage area/ GR area in the requirements...

Please validate...
