F. SYSTEM INTERNAL MOVES
Explanations in this section are quite technical. Skip them if you do not want to enter into this. The section on virtual stock in LU-SU4302 may help to understand them as these SYS-INTs are used to impact the virtual stock levels. More specifically they are used in order to insure that Replenishment Rules can work. See specific section on RR as well.
In any case, bear in mind that you should not touch these Internal Moves. SYS-INTs should always be created, confirmed updated and cancelled by the system, never touched by a user.
These special Internal Moves are created by the system when a PO (or PO-line) with “Input” as planned destination location is confirmed. This confirmation triggers the creation of an Incoming Shipment with “Input” as destination location.
This means that SYS-INT are created in 2 cases:
- When a PO (or PO-line) created from scratch is confirmed.
- When a PO (or PO-line) created following the sourcing of an IR with a stock or an ICU as Location Requestor is confirmed.
The lines of the created IN (which is in state “Available” with all its lines “Available”) have “Input” as destination location. This means that the virtual stock level of the “Input” location will be directly impacted by this IN.
However, the virtual stock level of the final destination location (stock or ICU) is not impacted by the IN.
The SYS-INT (created in the state “Confirmed” with its lines “Not available”) is actually simulating a movement between the “Input” location and the final destination location. It decreases the virtual stock level of the “Input” location (which is increased by the IN) and increases the virtual stock level of the final destination location.
With this feature, users are able to have a better view on where the virtual stock levels will be. They can see “further” than the “Input” location.
The processing of the IN will update (in case of partial reception) or cancel the SYS-INT according to the situations. In addition, this will also create the Internal Move as usual, to move goods (manually or automatically) from the “Input” location to the final destination location.
