Objective
The configuration tasks described in this lesson are relevant to the following solution process:
Note
This solution process is excluded from the default content activation.
If you want to deploy this scenario in your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition system, you must first request its activation by SAP Service Center by creating an Incident/Service Request.
The following video provides a refresher on the stock transfer process with stock transfer order and delivery, and introduces the necessary configurations.
Before you can use scenarios for intra-company stock transfers, with stock transport orders and deliveries, you need to check some prerequisites and, if necessary, perform some activities in the system.
The following organizational structure is required.
To use intra-company stock transfer scenarios, there must be at least two plants in the same company code.
This training deals with a stock transfer process within company code 1010.
In our example, plant 1010 is the ordering and receiving plant. Plant 1020 is the supplying plant.
The plants must be embedded in the organizational structure, specifically assigned to purchasing organizations and sales areas.
in our example, both plants are assigned to the sales area 1010/10/00 and the purchasing organization 1010.
In your organization structure, you must have at least one shipping point assigned to the supplying plant.
In our example, the shipping point 1020 is created and assigned to the supplying plant 1020.
A picking location must also be assigned to the shipping point to ensure a seamless goods issue posting.
Note
For information on how to create a new plant and make the necessary assignments to create an organizational structure, see Unit 3 of this course, Setting Up the Organizational Structure for Supply Chain.You must create a business partner master record with the Customer role for the ordering plant.
This customer data must be created for the sales area (sales organization/distribution channel/division) assigned to the supplying plant. The assignment of a sales area to the supplying plant is a specific configuration activity for the stock transfer process and is explained further on in this course.
In this lesson, learn the main setup steps for the business scenario Stock Transfer with Delivery (BME).
You must assign a sales area to the supplying plant.
The system uses this sales area to determine the shipping data for the material to be transferred - for example, the shipping point.
This assignment is done in your configuration environment. First, search in your configuration environment for Shipping Data for Plants. This takes you to the Define Shipping Data for Plants configuration activity.
Learn how to assign a sales area to the supplying plant (in our example, plant 1020) in the following demo.
In the Prerequisites section, we learned that we need a customer master record that corresponds to the ordering plant. The customer master data must be maintained in the sales area assigned to the supplying plant in the previous step.
Now we need to create the link between the customer number and the ordering plant.
This assignment is done in your configuration environment. First, search in your configuration environment for Shipping Data for Plants. This takes you to the Define Shipping Data for Plants configuration activity.
Learn how to assign the appropriate customer number to the ordering plant (in our example, plant 1010) in the following demo.
Several shipping points may be assigned to your supplying plant in your organizational structure. Through configuration, you can ensure that the system determines the appropriate shipping point for your stock transfer process.
The shipping point is determined according to the following parameters:
In your configuration environment, search for Assign Shipping Point. This takes you to the Assign Shipping Point configuration activity.
This lesson covered the main setup steps for the business scenario Stock Transfer with Delivery (BME).
