Project Stock

Definition
Quantity of a material which is held in stock for the completion of a project.
The project stock is allocated to a work breakdown structure (WBS) element.
Components can only be withdrawn for the WBS element.
You can manage valuated or non-valuated project stock.
If the project stock is not valuated, it is managed via a cost collector. The
system does not carry out invoice verification postings for goods movements,
and you cannot obtain an overview of how the stock is valuated until the end
of the settlement period in Controlling.
If the project stock is valuated, you have immediate access to its value in
Financial Accounting. The assigned accounts are debited and credited as a
result of the valuated goods movements.
Project stock is available for the project from an MRP point of view.

element manually.

 Other goods receipts, goods issues, transfer postings:
Enter the relevant movement type with the special stock indicator Q and the
WBS element.
