Hi,
Our procured direct materials are all goods receipted per inbound delivery (IBD).
After packing the IBD, TOs are generated and GR is executed automatically after last TO confirmation.
This process is working perfectly.
Now we have the need for a part of these materials to physically store them in the warehouse at physical GR, but not have them available for replenishment until actual GR. My opinion is that storage location control at the warehouse should be the answer. Therefore I made following settings:
Plant:
PL01
Storage locations:
SL01 - Normal GR & SL02 - temporary storage
Warehouse:
WH1 with SL01 and SL02 assigned
Storage types:
902 - existing process & 903 - new process (copy from 902) and Z01 - final destination
WM movement types:
101 (src = 902 / ReqTp = B PO / manual TO not allowed / GR data in quant) & 901 (copy of 101 with src = 903)
Stor loc ref:
SD - existing process & AD - new process
Control of assignment Plant/Stor loc - Whse:
PL01 - SL01 - WH1 - Standard SL - SD
PL01 - SL02 - WH1 - SL not in TR - AD
Stor loc control in WM:
WH01 - 903 - PL01 - SL02 - 311 (also tried with 309) - combine posting changes
LE-WM interface to MM
Whse - Ref Mvmt T - SpSTInd - Movement Ind - SpStInd - SpMvInd - SL Ref - Mvmt T - TR create TR - All following fields
WH01 - 101 - - B - - - AD - 901 - X - blank
WH01 - 101 - - B - - - SD - 101 - X - blank
I changed the receiving stor loc in the scheduling agreement to SL02.
Creation of IBD for 840 PC with subsequent TO shows in LS24:
PL01 - SL02 - 903 - Pick Q 840 - Av St -840
PL01 - SL02 - Z01 - Ptaw St 840 - Av St 0
If I check the SAP help for "Define Storage Location Control" - Scenario 3 - Example 1 I would expect a TR without stor loc to be created as well for which stor loc becomes SL01 during conversion to TO. Unfortunately no TR is triggered.
After above TO confirmation the situation is:
PL01 - SL02 - 903 - Av St -840
PL01 - SL02 - Z01 - Av St 840
which means the stock is unavailable for replenishment (=ok), but there seems no way that LQ01 can be run so finally the material can be moved to SL01 and GR can be posted.
Do I misinterpret the SAP help or is something missing in my customizing?
Unmarking "combine posting changes" is not an option as we need to have manual control over when goods come available for replenishment.
Best regards
Geert
