Transfer and Representation of Stock in Transfer (changed)

Use

SAP R/3 distinguishes between the following types of stock in transfer:

  • Stock in transfer between plants
Until now, this stock type was represented in the standard SAP APO system by the same order category as stock in transit. In dynamic pegging and in the net requirements calculation in Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) and in Capable-To-Match (CTM), the stock in transit and thus also the stock in transfer between plants were regarded as unavailable. (In Customizing for material requirements planning in SAP R/3, you can define if you want the cross-plant stock in transfer to be available for material requirements planning in SAP R/3.)
  • Stock in transfer between storage locations in a plant
Until now, this stock type was represented in the standard SAP APO system by the same order category as unrestricted-use stock, and was therefore always regarded as available for the net requirements calculation and dynamic pegging. (In SAP R/3, internal plant stock in transfer is also always available.)

Until now, therefore, stock in transfer belonged to stock in transit and to unrestricted-use stock. SAP APO 4.0 distinguishes between the various types of stock in transfer: The stock in transfer between plants is transferred to SAP APO as stock in transfer between locations as of SAP APO 4.0. Stock in transfer between storage locations in a plant is transferred as stock in transfer between sublocations. (This corresponds to the mapping Plant -> Location and Storage Location -> Sublocation.) This is possible because of the enhancements in SAP APO described below.

New order categories in SAP APO

Until now, stock in transfer in SAP APO was represented by the order category GC_OM_STOCK_IN_TRANSIT (stock in transit) or the order category GC_OM_STOCK_UNRESTRICTED (unrestricted-use stock). The following new order categories are now available:

  • Stock in transfer between sublocations
Order category: GC_OM_STOCK_TRANSF_SUBLOC
  • Stock in transfer between locations
Order category: GC_OM_STOCK_TRANSF_LOC

The new order categories in SAP APO allow a distinction to be made between the stock in transfer in PP/DS and CTM; that is, they represent independent stock elements for dynamic pegging and the net requirements calculation. The new order categories allow the availability of the stock in transfer types to be defined independently of each other for pegging and for the net requirements calculation.

ATP categories in SAP APO

Supply Network Planning(SNP) and Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP) do not control stock availability on the basis of the order category but based on the ATP category. In order that a distinction can be made between the various SAP R/3 stock in transfer types in SAP APO using the ATP category, the new ATP category CS has been implemented in SAP APO 4.0 for stock in transit. The previous categories in SAP APO are still valid without change for stock in transfer. The following list gives you an overview:

  • Stock in transit
Category until now: CA, Stock/tsfr
Category as of SAP APO 4.0: CS, StkInTrnst
  • Stock in transfer between locations
Category until now and in SAP APO 4.0: CA, Stock/tsfr
This category used to also include the stock in transit, but as of SAP APO 4.0 it only contains the stock in transfer between locations.
  • Stock in transfer between sublocations
Category until now and in SAP APO 4.0: CN, TsStkSb

Enhancement of the SAP APO Core Interface

As before, stock in transit and stock in transfer are transferred together from SAP R/3 to SAP APO if an active integration model exists for stock in transit. Prerequisite for the changed representation of stock in transfer in SAP APO is SAP R/3 Plug-In 2003.1.

Effects on Existing Data

Check if the new standard settings fulfill your requirements and make changes if necessary.

  • PP/DS and CTM
In the standard system, it is defined in the location product master on the Demand tab page under Available Stocks that Stock in Transfer Between Locations is not available and that Stock in Transfer Between Sublocations is. Change the settings in the location product master if necessary.
  • SNP and Global ATP
SNP and Global ATP do not automatically take the new category for stock in transit (CS, StkInTrnst) into consideration. You have to extend the category group for stock or the scope of check accordingly, if required.
  • Customer exits
Check your customer exits for processing stock.
