STOCK TRANSFER INBETWEEN STOCKING PLANTS

[Former Member]

HI Gurus

I have the following scenario

1) Fert1 Material has maintained in 1 Mfg Plant and 4 Stocking Plants

( client is using Depos as stocking Plants-seperate Plant Number available)

Eg.Manufacturing Plant "MFG1" , Stocking Plant as "STP1,STP2,STP3,STP4"

2) For Mfg Plant The Fert1 Procurement Type is E

3) For Stocking Plant the Fert1 Procurement Type is F and Special procurement Type is 4A,4B,4C,4D Stock Transport from Mfg Plant MFG1 (AS 40)

Now the Business Steps

1) As a 1st phase the Stocking Plants will have a PIR for Fert1 and stock in those respective plants as say

a) PIR for STP1-100 , Stock - 10 ea

b) PIR for STP2-10 , Stock - 100 ea

c) PIR for STP3-50 , Stock -25 ea

d) PIR for STP40200, Stock - 100 ea

Question:

The system has to do the stock transfer between plants with excess stock and less PIR to the Plants with less stock and have high PIR

2) In the 2nd Phase no issues the MRP run for 1+4 plants took care of Stock transport order and Production Orders

Pl suggest

Dear,

As given Manu plant ios going to supply the material to STP1, STP2, STP3, STP4

In MRP system will create net requirement from each plant after considereing the stock

i.e.in STP, stock is 10, requirement is 100, then PIR created on manufactering plant is only 90.

Hence the requirent from all the plants will flow to Manu plant, finally in Manu plant taking all the requirement and stock system will calculate the net requirement.

This is the way SAP works.

In your scenario there is no tarnsfer configuration between depos...all requirement is flown from all depos to manu plant.

To answer your question---<b>system has to do the stock transfer between plants with excess stock and less PIR to the Plants with less stock and have high PIR</b>

You need to configure QUOTA arrangement from

STP1 to STP2/STP3/STP4/Manu plant

and

STP2 to STP1/STP3/STP4/Manu plant

and

STP3 to STP1/STP2/STP4/Manu plant

and

STP4 to STP1/STP2/STP3/Manu plant

and

Manu plant/to STP1/STP2/STP3/STP4.

you need to maintain quota arrangement setting in MRP2 view of the material in each plant.

In this case you may face problem as system will create STO as per the quota you maintained in qouta arrangement.

The best way is to go for APO/DRP functionality, with normal specila procurement key and Qouta arrangement youe question is partially answered

please come back if you need help

I agree with you, some Quota arrangement setting might resolve my question

Unfortunately my client don't have APO

I will try with Qutoa arrangement in Dev server, test and once suites i will use it

I have rewarded your efforts

Any DRP related funda will work it out

thanks
