Stock transfer and external requisition for same material

[former_member452116]

Hello

The requirement is as below.

MRO/Spare parts for preventive/breakdown maintenance are planned via Min-Max MRP and procured from vendors. These materials are common across plants. However each plant procures independently, this leads to excess inventory org.wide. So there is a requirement to first request internal stock transfer before procuring externally for managing inventory levels better.

Let me paint a scenario

Component #123 | Receiving Plant : AAA1

Regular vendor for component #123 at plant AAA1 is VENDOR1

Component #123 stock also present in plants BBB1, CCC1, DDD1

BBB1 = 30 EA

CCC1 = 40 EA

DDD1 = 30 EA

Now, Say there is a requirement for 150 for component #123 in plant AAA1

The expectation is MRP should create the following requirement elements,

Stock transfer requisition for 30 EA with supplying plant BBB1

Stock transfer requisition for 40 EA with supplyin plant CCC1

Stock transfer requisition for 30 EA with supplying plant DDD1

External Purchase requisition for 50 EA with vendor VENDOR1

To my knowledge, this is not possible via standard set up. Is there a BADI that can help achieve this requirement?

Hi sriramkittu169

Indeed to implement your requirement with quota management will require a core code modification to calculate quantity based on available stock in the supplying plant.

Still, why don't you review your process design as I suggested in my second response. In my opinion each plant should hold just enough stock to cover its requirements only. Therefore you shouldn't take over this stock and move it to another plant on regular basis. Also source of supply for each plant should be clearly defined either directly from an external vendor or from a specific plant that does purchases centrally for other plants.
