Exploring the Cross-Plant Transfer Posting (1P7) Scenario

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to execute the process steps of the Cross-Plant Transfer Posting (1P7) business scenario

Introduction

Cross-Plant Stock Transfer Posting

You can carry out the goods issue and the goods receipt with a single posting (one-step procedure) or with two postings (two-step procedure). The advantage of the one-step procedure is that you only enter one transaction in the system. With the two-step procedure, on the other hand, you can monitor the stocks that you transfer from one location to another. In the two-step procedure, the quantity is managed as transfer stock after you post the goods issue from the issuing plant. The transfer stock is part of the valuated stock of the receiving plant.

Cross-Plant Transfer Posting in One Step

In the one-step procedure, you post the goods issue from the supplying plant and the goods receipt in the receiving plant in one transaction. In doing so, you generate a material document and an accounting document. The stock transfer is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the supplying plant.

This simplified procedure is suitable if the two plants are close to each other.

Using the one-step procedure, you can transfer stock quantities from any stock type in the issuing plant to any stock type in the receiving plant.
