For certain materials, we need to do transfer from one storage location to another.
This movement is called as Transfer Posting Storage Location to Storage Location in SAP.
This transfer posting can take place in two ways.
One is single step transfer posting and the other one is knows as two step Transfer posting.
For Storage Location with in a Plant, it is decided to carry out single step transfer posting
through reservation with in Plant Storage Location transfer.
6. The Storage location which requires the material will create the Reservation for the required
Materials with Movement Type – 311.
7. The issuing Storage Location to do transfer posting with reference to this reservation.

the same plant. The receiving location defaults to the sending location, but may be over-ridden as
necessary.

Tips and Tricks
If the user enter the issuing Plant and Storage Location in the Enter Transfer Posting: Initial Screen and
the data is carried through to the detail line items.
It is sometimes necessary to reverse a transfer order due to user error. For example, an incorrect quantity is
entered or the wrong material was chosen. Within SAP, there are two different ways to reverse a goods
movement. One is done via a movement type. Another is done through a material document.
Reversing goods movements using movement types are the same as the initial movement types +1. For
example, a reversal of a transfer between sLoc, 311 movement type is the reversal of movement type 312.
To reverse a transfer by material document follow the menu path: Logistics > Material Management >
Inventory Management > Material Document > Cancel/Reverse. The material document is needed for this
transaction.
