F. LU-SU1101: Movements to/from the different type of locations.

How the different types of locations can be used can also be explained by listing the possibilities of movements to (destination) and from (source) these locations. This is what we try to do below. Note that the list of movements is not exhaustive. We only list the most commonly used movements. Additional information may be found in the Procurement chapter and in the Warehouse chapter.

1. Main stock (“Stock/MED/LOG”) as destination

If a PO is created from scratch, goods are received in the main stock “Stock/MED/LOG” (location selected according to the main type of the products) via the “Input” location after manual/automatic processing of the INT.

If a PO is created following the sourcing on order of an IR whose Location Requestor is a location of the main stock (“Stock/MED/LOG”), goods are received in the main stock “Stock/MED/LOG” (location selected according to the Location Requestor of the IR) via the “Input” location after manual/automatic processing of the INT.

Goods can be transferred to the main stock (locations “Stock/MED/LOG”) via an INT created from scratch.

Goods can be transferred to the main stock (locations “Stock/MED/LOG”) via an INT created following the sourcing from stock of an IR whose Location Requestor is a location from the main stock (“Stock/MED/LOG”).

Goods can be integrated into the main stock (locations “Stock/MED/LOG”) via an IN created from scratch.

2. Main stock (“Stock/MED/LOG”) as source

The main stock (“Stock/MED/LOG”) can be used as Source Location on a RCR.

The main stock (“Stock/MED/LOG”) can be used as Source Location in the OST when sourcing IR and FO.

The main stock (“Stock/MED/LOG”) can be used as Source Location on an INT created from scratch.

The main stock (“Stock/MED/LOG”) can be used as Source Location on an OUT created from scratch.

3. Intermediate Stock (IS) as destination

If a PO is created following the sourcing on order of an IR whose Location Requestor is an IS, goods are received in this IS via the “Input” location after manual/automatic processing of the INT.

Goods can be transferred to an IS via an INT created from scratch.

Goods can be transferred to an IS via an INT created following the sourcing from stock of an IR whose Location Requestor is this IS.

Goods can be integrated in an IS via an IN created from scratch.

4. Intermediate Stock (IS) as source

An IS can be used as Source Location on a RCR.

An IS can be used as Source Location in the OST when sourcing IR and FO.

An IS can be used as Source Location on an INT created from scratch.

An IS can be used as Source Location on an OUT created from scratch.

5. Internal Consumption Unit (ICU) as destination

If a PO is created following the sourcing on order of an IR whose Location Requestor is an ICU, goods are received in this ICU via the “Input” location after manual/automatic processing of the INT.

Goods can be transferred to an ICU via an INT created from scratch.

Goods can be transferred to an ICU via an INT created following the sourcing from stock of an IR whose Location Requestor is this ICU.

Goods can be integrated in an ICU via an IN created from scratch.

6. Internal Consumption Unit (ICU) as source

An ICU can be used as Source Location on a RCR.

An ICU can be used as Source Location in the OST when sourcing IR and FO.

An ICU can be used as Source Location on an INT created from scratch.

An ICU can be used as Source Location on an OUT created from scratch.

7. External Consumption Unit (ECU) as destination

If a PO is created following the sourcing on order of an IR whose Location Requestor is an ECU, goods are received in this ECU via the “Cross docking” location after manual processing of the OUT.

An ECU can be used as Destination Location on a RCR.

Goods can be transferred to an ECU via an OUT (or pick/pack/ship) created following the sourcing from stock of an IR whose Location Requestor is this ECU.

8. External Consumption Unit (ECU) as source

An ECU can be used as Source Location on an IN created from scratch in order to register a return to stock from a unit.

  1. The destination is actually the destination of the INT linked to the IN (whose destination is “Input”) linked to the PO
  2. The destination is actually the destination of the OUT linked to the IN (whose destination is “Cross docking”) linked to the PO
  3. Used to return goods to stock from an ECU

The analysis could be pushed further by listing the possibilities of movements from/to:

-the “Input” location

-the “Cross docking” location

-the locations “Output”, “Packing”, “Dispatch”, “Distribution”

-the quarantine locations ” Quarantine (analyze)” and “Quarantine (before scrap)”

-the supplier locations “MSF Supplier” and “Other Supplier”

-the customer locations “MSF Customer” and “Other Customer”

-the virtual locations “Service”, “Procurement”, “Kitting”, “Inventory (loss & profit)”, “Destruction” and “Non stockable”.

Use cases for these locations are explained in the chapter Warehouse and in the chapter Procurement.
