Change of Ownership Order

A Change of Ownership Order posts inventory out and back in with changed data, without a physical warehouse movement. It can change the item number, the deposit customer, and, where required, the lot or serial number of an inventory quantity. The order creates the required outbound and inbound postings, including the stock postings.

Creating an Order from Inventory or Load Carriers

In the Inventory List, select the required inventory records, or in the Load Carrier List, select the required load carriers. Then select Create Chg. Ownership Order.

Before creating the order, the system checks that:

  • All selected inventory records have the same deposit customer or no deposit customer.
  • None of the inventory records has a reserved quantity.

After the check, the system creates a Change of Ownership Order. Each selected inventory record becomes an order line. The order takes over the current deposit customer and location code; the lines take over the item, quantity, selected inventory record, and any existing lot and serial numbers. You can then open the order directly.

Entering the Order

  1. Check the current and new deposit customer in the order header.
  2. For each line, enter the New Item No.. Adjust Quantity for an order entered manually. Qty. to Change is initially filled with Remaining Qty. and can be adjusted for the current posting batch.
  3. For new lot-tracked items, enter a New Lot No.. For new serial-number-tracked items, enter a New Serial No..

The current items must belong to the old deposit customer in the order header. The new items must belong to the new deposit customer. If the respective deposit customer in the header is empty, only items without a deposit customer are permitted.

Once an order line with a matching current or new item exists, the corresponding deposit customer in the order header can no longer be changed.

For orders created from an inventory or load carrier selection, Inventory No. is already stored on the order line. In this case, the quantity fields and Inventory Selection cannot be changed. Inventory Selection is automatically set to Automatic.

Hinweis

After entering a serial number, the quantity is automatically set to 1 and cannot be changed. Lot and serial numbers can only be entered for new items that require them.

Processing the Order

  1. Select Release. The order is then protected from changes.
  2. If required, select Create Item Journal to create the outgoing item journal lines in advance. A separate item journal batch is used for the Change of Ownership Order. Use Open Item Journal to review the lines; Delete Item Journal removes them again.
  3. Select Post. The system creates the outgoing item journal lines based on Qty. to Change and the outbound stock document, posts the outbound transaction, and initiates the inbound posting with the new data.

Use Reopen to make a released order editable again, provided that no item journal lines exist yet.

After each posting batch, Qty. Changed and Remaining Qty. are updated. If quantities remain open, the Change of Ownership Order remains available for further postings. A posted Change of Ownership Order with Original Document No. in the header and lines is created for each posting batch. Once all lines are fully processed, the original Change of Ownership Order is deleted.

Wichtig

For lines with manual inventory selection, the system must use the selected inventory record. Therefore, review the generated item journal lines before posting.
