Automatically Material Add

[Former Member]

Hi

We have a business Scenario where in Stock TRANSFER we want to add one material automatically when main materials is added in Stock Transfer Purchase Order.

We are using Purchase Order to do stock transfer from one plant to another. Both Source and Destination Plant is under single company code.

for more clarity

Suppose in Stock transfer Purchase order if user added material code X, system should automatically Y in PO and Y should flow to Delivery and Performa invoice.

Please suggest if there is any process in SAP for this

Best Regards

Is this Y a free goods ? What is the relation between material X and Y ? How could you get the material Y with regards to the material X in your business process ?

Hi Patra

We will maintain relation with X & Y somewhere in system.

Basically need is with one mobile Handset business wants to give one Flip cover free.

We are able to achieve the same in sales through Free Goods concept by maintaining in VBN1.

But now SCM team wants while transferring stock from Mother Warehouse(one Plant) to CFA(another plant in same company code) flip cover code should automatically come in stock transfer Purchase order like it is coming in sales order created from CFA to Customer.

Here you can say X is mobile and Y is  flip Cover.

Hope it is clear now

Free goods concept will not work here as this is an intra-company stock transfer.

I don't think there are any standard workaround as per your business process.

As you are maintaining the relation with X and Y in somewhere in system, then you need to do some development to pick the material Y as second line item in STO from this somewhere.

There is no such feature in standard ERP procurement process.

You may need to write your own program that reads your Z-table with the relationship and adds a second item to the STO using BAPI_PO_CHANGE

Or entirely create your STO using BAPI_PO_CREATE1

Bill of Material (BOM)  or phantom item is totally different. This is nothing related to STO process. BOM is used in Subcontracting process (Item category L).
