New Quant generated : Bin to Bin Transfer

Hi,

When i am moving a material from one bin to another bin in the same warehouse / storage type without any other paramters getting changed ( Plant, Sloc, Material, Batch, Stock type, special stock indicator ), but still the system is getting a new quant when it moved to the destination bin. The desitnation bin is an empty bin without any other materials.

I am expecting that the same quant from the source bin to destination bin should be used. What type of configuration control to be done to achieve this functionality.

Regards,

Dilli

I am not aware of any customizing setting that could be used to achieve this desire.

What is the reason for this wish?

Hi Jurgen,

There is a business need to use a material identification ID so that the geometry profile of a material can be identified in a warehouse. We thought of using Quant number to use it as an ID however when the quant changes frequently due to internal transfers then our solution may fail.

But i read that the quant characteristics are as stated above in my earlier query, still wondering how SAP is generating a new quant without affecting any of its existing characteristics.

Wouldn't be the bin and the bin section (if available) be the best parameter for your goal?

Technically it is just a move-corresponding to fill fields of a structure and it is just a design question if you create new quants or retain the old number. If you merge quants with a TO, then the moved quant will lose anyway, as the existing quant will increase in quantity.

hi Jurgen,

Thanks for your response.

Again Bin / Bin section will keep on changing whenever a move is initiated. I need something which is not getting changed.

We already have batch management active, however multiple units of the same material can have same batch and i need some traceability at the material level. Serial number is not desired  by client as it is a temporary stock ID which should be used within warehouse for identification purpose.

I am still not clear how by looking at Quant number you can identify the geometry profile

I had a  similar requirement to store extra character and we used "Certificate Number" field to store the extra value and at the time of BIN 2 BIN we used MWMTO001 to capture the value of certificate from Existing quant to the new quant

Hope this helps
