Transfers

In this section, you set the configuration for the transfer of goods.

This includes the following:

1. Transfer types

2. Movement types

3. Requirement categories

4. Posting changes and stock transfers

Define Requirement Types

Movements and stock records in the Warehouse Management System contain a reference to the
originating document.

❖ The requirement category describes the origin type (for example, goods receipt for a
purchase order, and goods issue for the cost center).

❖ The requirement tracking number describes the origin itself (for example, the purchase order
number, the cost center).

Actions

Create the requirement types for each warehouse number.

Define Shipment Types

In the Warehouse Management system, there are two types of transfers (movements):

• Movements that are also important for Materials Management

(for example, stock placements and stock removals)

• Movements that only concern the warehouse

(stock transfers within a warehouse, for example).

The transfer type is a suitable tool for reports (for example, all stock placements into a storage type,
all stock removals from a storage type, and so on).

Note

The transfer type is not used in system control functions.

Standard Delivery

In the SAP standard delivery, all the relevant transfer types are preset.

SAP Recommendation
SAP recommends keeping the transfer types delivered with the standard system. You can add to these
transfer types as required.

Actions

Define the transfer types for each warehouse number.
