This scope item can be used to post unplanned goods issues without reference to outbound deliveries. It can be used for various use cases, such as scrapping and goods issue to another storage location.
For scrapping, you initiate this process by creating a posting change and a warehouse task to move the material to be scrapped from the source bin to the scrapping zone. After completing the physical goods movement, you post the unplanned goods issue.
Business Benefits

Key Process Flows
For a graphical overview of the business process of the scope item Warehouse Ad Hoc Goods Issue (3BT), refer to the SAP Signavio Process Navigator as described in the lesson The Impact of Warehouse Management.
- Create an ad hoc warehouse task, for example, for ad hoc goods issue to another storage location, and print warehouse task lists.
To post an ad-hoc goods issue, the material usually has to be moved to a particular storage type from which the goods issue is posted. This is achieved by creating an ad-hoc warehouse task.
- Create a posting change and warehouse task, for example, for scrapping, and print the warehouse tasks lists.
If the requirement type changes, for instance, because the material is to be moved to blocked stock, a posting change is required besides the warehouse task.
- Confirm warehouse tasks.
The ad-hoc warehouse tasks are confirmed.
- Post unplanned goods issue.
The goods issue is posted after the materials have arrived at the storage type for goods issue posting, such as the scrapping zone.
