🚚 SAP for Beginners: Posting Goods Receipt for a Stock Transfer Order (Fiori App)! 🚚
Hey #SAPBeginners! You've successfully created a Stock Transfer Order (STO) and the goods are on their way. Now, how do you officially record their arrival and make them available in your receiving plant? It's time for the Goods Receipt (GR)!
Posting a Goods Receipt for an STO is a critical step in inter-plant material movements. It moves the stock from "in transit" to "unrestricted use" (or another stock type) in the receiving plant, updating your inventory and financial records.
In modern #SAPS4HANA environments, this process is often handled efficiently via dedicated #SAPFiori apps. Let's look at how to do it using the "Post Goods Receipt for Purchasing Document" app (App ID: F0843)!
Why is this important?
Accurate Inventory: Updates stock levels in the receiving plant.
Financial Impact: Triggers necessary financial postings to reflect the stock transfer.
Visibility: Completes the loop of the stock transfer process, removing items from "in transit" status.
Step-by-Step Guide using the Fiori App (F0843):
Log On: Access your SAP Fiori launchpad as a Warehouse Clerk. Your Fiori home screen will appear.
Open the App: Search for and open the "Post Goods Receipt for Purchasing Document" app (App ID: F0843). The relevant screen will display.
Search for Your STO:
Click on the search icon or button to find your specific Stock Transfer Order.
You'll see a list of relevant purchasing documents.
Select the STO: From the search results, select your Stock Transfer Order. The system will then load all the details of the goods receipt associated with that STO onto the main screen.
Enter Delivery Note:
Locate the field for "Delivery Note" and enter the physical delivery note number (e.g., XXX).
If applicable, you might also specify printing options like "Individual slip" for output management.
Press Enter to validate the entries.
Enter Batch Numbers (if applicable):
If the material is batch-managed (meaning each quantity belongs to a specific batch), you'll need to enter the Batch Numbers that were assigned to the materials in the outbound delivery from the supplying plant.
Ensure these match to correctly track your inventory by batch.
Select Items and Post:
Review the items displayed. Select the items for which you want to post the Goods Receipt.
Crucially, enter the Storage Location where the goods will be placed (e.g., 101A). If this wasn't pre-filled from the STO, you'll need to provide it here.
Once everything looks correct, choose the "Post" button.
What Happens Next?
The system will activate the posting process.
You'll see a success message, typically "Material document XXX posted," indicating that your Goods Receipt has been successfully recorded! A new material document number will be generated.
This streamlined Fiori process ensures accurate and timely updates to your inventory, keeping your supply chain flowing smoothly!
