error message during LT01 if the stock is not avaialble

[ssubni]

Hi Gurus,

I have a scenario. We are in ECC 6.0 with WM and QM activated.

Material is available in Q stock in interim storage type (902) after GR from PO with batch as restricted. Sometimes the user manually moves the stock from 902 interim storage type to the fixed bin through LT01  instead taking the route of Put away through LB10 transaction. During the move, user forgot to enter the stock category Q as the stock is in Quality , but system still creates the transfer order without checking the avaialability and creates negative inventory in 902 storgae type and positive inventory in the Fixed bin with Unrestricted stock type.

How the system is not checking the stock type or avaialbility of  quality stock in storage type and how can we prevent or inform the user to stop this? It can be done by by removing the "allow negative stocks' in storage type 902 but it will have issues in IM postings.

Expect your ideas.

Thanks

Hi Subramanian ,

We can resolve this issue by using  a customer exit : MWMTO001 (Enhancements for end of transfer order generation)

1. Use function module : EXIT_SAPLL03T_001
2. Use T_LTAP_VB to get the TO line item
3. In runtime use the table T_LTAP_VB to get the SU number and batch from 902 and then compare the stocks ( If  T_LTAP_VB-STOCK('Q') EQ LTAP-STOCK(‘Q’)  then allow the TO creation )

Hope this will help.

Hi Subramanian,

You cannot deactivate -ve stock posting for Interim storage types. Also moving the stock using LT01, with "Q" selection is not recommended, because QM is active in your site and the Storage Type/Bin information would have got updated in the Inspection Lot.

Moving the stock before the Inspection is over, would create error during TO creation for the Inspection lot UD posting.

Please enforce the users to follow the process steps in sequence,

GR -->Inspection -->Putaway.

Or if the business process involves putaway of material before QM inspection completion, configure the WM+QM interface accordingly so that the entire stock as "Q" can be putaway to Destination Storage type.

Best Regards,

Hemant
