Increase / decrease in material stock while downgrading

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Could you please help me in finding a best solution for the below two scenarios?

1. Material A has been received initially with 100 MT, which has suffered from a damage of 2 MT. Due to the damage the 2 MT will be downgraded from material A to material B. But after completing the downgrade process the quantity of material B should be 1.5 MT (decrease in quantity).
2. Material A has been received initially with 100 MT, which has suffered from a damage of 2 MT. Due to the damage the 2 MT will be downgraded from material A to material B. But after completing the downgrade process the quantity of material B should be 2.5 MT (increase in quantity).

I'm aware that we can use material to material transfer (mvt type 309) process to downgrade a material, but here the quantity will not be varying, meaning, if i transfer 2 MT from material A to material B, material B will be receiving the same quantity i.e. 2 MT. But how can we capture increase / decrease of quantity while downgrading?

Kindly help me to implement a best solution.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Pavithra,

As Bijay mentioned, you can follow below the process to achieve your requirement.

1. Material A has been received initially with 100 MT, which has suffered from a damage of 2 MT. Due to the damage the 2 MT will be downgraded from material A to material B.

- You can achieve this requirement by performing material to material transfer (mvt type 309).

2. But after completing the downgrade process the quantity of material B should be 1.5 MT (decrease in quantity) / 2.5 MT (increase in quantity).

- As per the standard SAP functionality, no quantity variation takes place while transferring materials (be it normal stock transfer / material conversion). Thus, we can capture the gain or loss of material stock only after the successful completion of transfer. Meaning, once you complete the downgrading process you can capture the stock variance.

To capture the variance you are required follow physical inventory process. The process will provide you the flexibility to capture both gain or loss of your received material stock.

Hope this solution would suits your requirement.

Thanks & Regards,
