Definition

The type of inventory management for the production storage location determines how the inventory is to be built up in the production storage location of SAP ME.

Use

You have the following options:

Other goods receipts or goods issues to/from this storage location are not allowed if they are started from ERP. If you choose this option, you must post the receipts from production to a different storage location.

  • Inventory management only via goods issue to production order

    The inventory of finished components in the production storage location in SAP ME is built up by order-related goods issue postings from this storage location. In ERP, goods receipt postings and receipt postings can be done using transfer postings to this storage location. However, goods issues can only occur with reference to a production order.

  • No restrictions with regard to goods movements

    Goods movements are not restricted to this storage location. This is the standard setting.
