 1. Customer Number in Bill of Lading :

The customer number which appears in Bill of Lading is due to customizing of shipping
Data for plants.

Here we can see the customizing with these screens print:

 2. Stock in transit “Movement could be done”:

To clear stock in transit, you must done goods receipt in two steps because the stock has no
storage location no plant when its status is “Stock in transit” so the warehouse clerk must
post quantity received with reference to P.O and the quantity which to be scrapped while be
received with blocked status and scrap it in the second step.

Example:

 Quantity in Stock transport order : 100 PC

 Stock in transit : 100 PC
 Quantity received : 98 PC
 Quantity to be cleared on stock in transit : 2 PC

Screen Printed:

 1st step : Post goods receipt “98 PC”

 2nd step : Clear Stock in Transit “2 PC”

 Scrap blocked stock : T-Code “MIGO” or “MB1A”

 3. Transfer between two plants with status “Quality
Inspection”:

The stock which its status “Quality inspection” can’t be moved between two plants because
this type of stock is not available to be used. You must do the release of inspection lot and
post stock in the unrestricted-use so you can move it to second plant.

In the second plant you can receive the stock with status “Quality Inspection” and you can
release the inspection lot in this plant. If “QM” is not activated, you can do transfer posting
quality inspection to unrestricted “Movement type: 321” within plant.

 Transfer between two plants with status “Quality inspection” within process 134
:
  Stock Overview before Goods Receipt :

 Stock Overview after goods receipt :

 Transfer between two plants with status “Quality inspection” After process 127 :

This case is similar to the precedent situation. In this scenario the QM View is activated.
4. Packaging :
 Return “Returnable packaging “ to vendor :
5. Determination Shipping point & Storage location :

 Assign Shipping Condition to Sales Document Type

To Assign Shipping condition to sales document type, first we must
determinate the Delivery Type so we can see sales documents type which
it’s assigned to Delivery type. Consequently, we can assign shipping
condition to sales document type.
 Shipping Point Determination :
  1 : Shipping condition
 2 : Loading Group
 3 : Plant
 4 : Shipping point

Shipping condition/Loading Group/Plant => Shipping Point

 Storage location Determination :

  1 : Shipping Point
 2 : Plant
 3 : Storage Condition
 4 : Picking Storage Location

Shipping Point / Plant / Storage Condition => Picking Storage Location.

Remarque:

 if we have a return to vendor and stock transport order, we should do these steps to
get two different shipping point like “100R” and “1000” In this case :

 Copy Control Deliveries

6. How to use total or unplanned consumption for forecast :
 7. Batch Determination :

According to the search strategy, the system can do an automatic batch determination. Here
we found the configuration steps to active the batch determination:
  Condition Tables :

In this document we will take the example of condition tables according to Inventory
Management.

 Access Sequence :
To search a batch, the system needs an access sequence which indicates the order of search
to found the batch. According to the access sequence “ZME1”, SAP will identify in first case
the material type and in the next step, it will identify the movement type.

 Strategy type :
 Tab “Selection” :

Here we determine search class with expiration date or batch Number. Let’s see the
details of this class.
 Tab “Sorting” :

We must create a sort Rule to organize the search of batches.

 Batch search Procedure :

 Batch search Procedure Allocation and check Activation :
 8. Automatic P.O at goods Receipt :
Automatic P.O at goods receipt is mostly used in case of Dairy Industry “Raw Milk received
from farmer in truck tanker”.

 Tick Automatic P.O in Material Master Data “Purchasing View”

 Tick Automatic P.O in Vendor Master Data “Purchasing Data”

 Tick Automatic P.O according to Movement type

 Add field “LIFNR : Vendor” as a required entry to the correspondent Movement
type
 9. Freeze book inventory balance :

T-Code : MI33-Freeze book Inventory.

10. PR Release :

 Create Characteristics :
 Create Class :
 Step up procedure with Classification
  Check Release strategy :

11. Create a layout to be assigned to a release strategy

 For certain release code, the client specify to make some fields unchangeable and
other changeable. E.g : when the PR is in progress or totally validated, the
customer wants to keep the field “closed” modified in order to close the PR after
converting in into a PO.
 To do that, we need to follow the following steps :

1- Create a new Layout ( based on the standard layout NBB)

PATH :
Create a copy from the existing layout “NBB”
Change the fields status

And Save

2- Update the existing Release indicators

PATH :
In this case, when the release indicator of the PR is Y, the PR will be unchangeable except the
field “closed” according to the layout assigned

12. Access Sequence for Output type :

 Maintain Condition Tables :

 Print Item :
 Access Sequence :
 Maintain Output types :
 Maintain Output Determination Procedure :
 Add Movement type in Access Sequence for output determination :
T-Code: VOFM

 Condition table with Movement Type :

13. No Shipping Data “Return PO” :

 Solution :
14. Extend Delivery Creation Date in VL10B
 15. Add button in MRP Element

Click on “ ”:
 16. Define MRP Lights for Group of materials

 Define of evaluation profile :

 Assign Evaluation profile to MRP group : T-code OPPR
 Assign MRP group to Material :

17. Confirmation of change in Vendor master Data

vendor
validation.docx

18. WM Two Steps Confirmation

19. Change Currency in MMSA
20. Create Message per Release for MMSA
21. Add packaging material in inbound delivery

 Choose (Item Requirement 202)

 Select Checkbox (Gen.pack. matl item)
 Customizing item category determination (ELP or PI)
 22. Default Cost center in material document of inspection
lot sampling
The Cost Center determination when creating a sampling material document from an inspection lot is
not done using assignments from OKB9. The determination is done under QM Plant default settings.
The path is : IMG > Quality Management > Basic settings > Maintain Settings at Plant Level

The default cost center used when creating a sampling material document is the one chosen in the
“Cost center: Scrap” Field.
