Consequences of maintaining Plant Parameters

Former Member — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 04:21:36 GMT

Dear All,

I would like to know that what could be the consequences for maintaing plant parameters under ' Inventory Mangement and Physical Iinventory ' for the plant which is copid from the existing plant for which plant parameters have not been maintained.

This is what SAP is saying (the extract is from spro implementation guide)

Plant Parameters

In this step, you make the general plant settings for

Inventory Management. All settings are also contained in the individual steps of the Implementation Guide for Inventory Management. If you want to allow negative stocks in your plant, you have to set the XBKNG indicator in addition to the settings in this step. To maintain this indicator, choose the step Goods Issue/Transfer Postings -> Allow Negative Stocks in Customizing.

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you do not make the plant settings here, but in the individual steps of the Implementation Guide, so that the settings here are not without a context. Dependent settings are not contained in this step.

Activities

If you have created a plant in the enterprise structure using the Copy plant function, you do not need to make any settings.

If you have created a plant manually, you have to create a new entry for the plant parameters.

What should I do? Should I go for it or not?

Thanks and regards,

Saleel Kulkarni

Hi,

If you created a plant by copying the standard plant 1000 , the plant paramaters foe inventory management will automatically come to your newly created plant. N o need of creating parameters separately in inventory management. If you create the plant without copy function you have to maintain plant parameters. I hope this will help you. Thanking you.
