3.(SAP) Different Ways for StockTransfer between plants

2. Stock Transfer using 2 Steps


After you explained the stock transfer using 1 step in one of the last posts , you want to show that we can also do a stock transfer same as before but in 2 steps.

you started by saying :
in the last method [1 step method ] , once you execute the transaction the stock will immediately transferred from plant A to plant B . But in the 2 steps method , you will first issue the stock from plant A and it will not be transferred to plant B but  as 'Stock in transfer'. the second step will be executed in the plant B to receive the stock.


one of the audience interrupted you asking:
Q: Why I would go with this 2 steps method instead of the 1 step ?

A: you would replay : because of 2 reasons :
1) in this method after we issue the stock from the issuing plant , the stock will be shown as stock in transfer , which gives you a way to monitor the stock 'on the road'.

 2) Second reason is from authorisation point of view , sometimes you restrict the authorisation of your people to the plant they work on.i.e. if Mohammad for example is working on plant A you don't want to give him the authorisation to execute transactions related to plant B.So you map your process in this way.


a finance guy asks you
Q: what about the valuation ?
A; The material will be valuated based on the valuation of the issuing plant.

you concluded your topic by saying : But keep in mind that you can not use reservations with this type of stock transfer.

  1. While the relationship of stocks to the dollar has not always been "down dollar = up stocks" it has been this year. And in this market, that which gets rewarded gets

    repeated until someone's throat gets ripped out.
    At times it has been that a strong dollar meant a strong America and a strong economy. All rules of logic are gone due to the oligarchs running the government.
