number, the cost center).

Define Shipment Types
In the Warehouse Management system, there are two types of transfers (movements):
Movements that are also important for Materials Management
(for example, stock placements and stock removals)
Movements that only concern the warehouse
(stock transfers within a warehouse, for example).
The transfer type is a suitable tool for reports (for example, all stock placements into a storage type, all
stock removals from a storage type, and so on).
Note
The transfer type is not used in system control functions.
Standard Delivery
In the SAP standard delivery, all the relevant transfer types are preset.
SAP Recommendation
SAP recommends keeping the transfer types delivered with the standard system. You can add to these
transfer types as required.
Actions
Define the transfer types for each warehouse number.

Define Movement Types
The system processes Inventory Management movements (for example, goods receipt for a purchase order
or goods issue to a cost center) using movement types. If the SAP system determines that a movement is
relevant for Warehouse Management, it assigns a WM movement type to this movement via a table.
The movement type for the Warehouse Management system provides the information required for stock
placements and stock removals:
v Interim storage type
v Coordinate of the interim storage bin
predefined coordinate
dynamic coordinate
fixed bin coordinate
v Control indicator for processing, confirming and printing transfer orders
v Indicator for storage type search.
For information on the links between the IM and the WM movement types and how to change them, see the
section Movement Types for Interim Storage Bins.
Standard settings
In the SAP standard system, all the relevant movement types are preset.
Recommendation
SAP recommends keeping the movement types delivered with the standard system.
Activities
1. Before you create movement types for a new warehouse number:
start with the configuration for the printer control
delete the print codes
then maintain the print codes when you configure the printer control
2. Create the movement types for each warehouse number using the copy function.
3. Define your own company-individual settings (for example, for the interim storage types) in the detail
screen.

Define Stock Transfers and Replenishment Control
Using a posting change, you can change the material identification of stocks. A posting change affects at
least one of the following items:
v material number
v plant
v stock category
v special stock
A stock transfer is involved if a quant is moved physically from its storage bin.
Posting changes and stock transfers always take place within a warehouse number.
Standard settings
For stock transfers and posting changes, the movement types in the series "3nn" are at your disposal.
For internal warehouse replenishment, use the WM movement type "319". You can use this movement type
as a copy sample for creating your own movement type.
Activities
1. Check all the movement types for posting changes, stock transfers, and replenishment.
2. Make your own company-required adjustments in the detail screen. For replenishment movement types,
you do not require the definition of the requirement type.
3. If you want to use the functionality "Replenishment for fixed bin warehouse" (using the report
RLLNACH1), you must define the storage types for which replenishment is to be used.
Assign the appropriate replenishment type to the respective storage types.
