Intracompany Stock Transfer

Best Practice Scenario: Intracompany Stock Transfer

The Intracompany Stock Transfer business scenario enables you to transfer stock from one site to another site within the same company.

You create the stock transfer order in the sending site. Intracompany stock transfer can be initiated either as an outcome of planning or manually during execution. You complete the outbound processing steps in the sending site in the same way as you would complete outbound processing when based on sales orders. When you create the outbound delivery, an advised inbound delivery notification is created in the receiving site automatically. You then complete the inbound processing steps in the receiving site in the same way as you would complete inbound processing when based on purchase orders.

If you work with externally-managed locations, note the following: The use of the Third-Party Logistics scenario is subject to the licensing of a warehouse provider communication add-on via the SAP Store. Note that the licensing of the warehouse provider communication add-on may be subject to additional fees

Key Benefits of Intracompany Stock Transfer

• Material flow analysis and exception-driven approach provides planners with comprehensive decision support;
• Goods in transit can be checked in the stock overview. This in-transit stock is valuated across the whole stock transfer process:  It belongs to the stock of the sender until it arrives at the receiver and is posted into the receiver’s stock. Naturally both sender and receiver belong to the same company in this scenario meaning that the stock value at company level does not change;
• When you create the outbound delivery, an advised inbound delivery notification is created in the receiving site automatically;
• Built in analytics and reports such as stock overview, confirmation journals, and batch where-used lists;
• With the introduction of planned stock transfer topic , intra company stock transfers could also be initiated as an outcome of planning – which is an integral part of day to day operations of distribution focused industries;
• Planned stock transfer is expected to enhance scale and reduce manual load and be a key enabler for distribution focused industries.
