Check the material availability vs. stock owner, or Suppliers Stock

This check is performed against the UNHRD Inventory in order to provide a real estimate of the delivery time of the requested items to the Partner. This action allows to check whether all stock is available and to decide where to pull the stock from, from stock owned by Partner, thru Loans and Borrowing or from any another hub not between those geographically closest to the place of delivery.

Display the UNHRD Project structure

The stock ownership is identified thru the access of the UNHRD project structure which contains all UNHRD WBS elements. In order to display UNHRD project follow the path below or go to transaction CJ03:

Logistics > Project System > Project> Special Maintenance Functions > Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) > Display

Enter S.0001 in the Proj. Def. field and click on enter :

The system display the categories that identify the UNHRD Structure; the categories related to the stock ownerships are S.0001.1.01 for WFP FOOD ITEMS (Procurement Programme Support Stock (Food)), S.0001.4.01 for WFP NON FOOD ITEMS (Procurement Operation Support Stock (NFI)), S.0001.4.02 for NOWFP NON FOOD ITEMS (Procurement Programme Support Stock (NFI)) and S.0001.4.04 for SUPPLIERS STOCK ITEMS (Procurement SUPPLIERS STOCK). The UNHRD is mainly changed when new Partners join UNHRD Network:


NOTE In case of procurement for any internal partner of specific materials no-WFP/Corporate Response Stock related, it is recommended to apply the generic WBS S.0001. 4.01.005 assigned to “WFP”. Same approach has to be applied either the items are procured by applying in-transit process or on-demand, when the procurement of WFP NFIs is not related to WFP/CRS items.

Relese of WFP Corporate stock

In case of sale to Internal Partner of WFP Corporate response Stock (WFP/CRS), the release authority specified at paragraph 3 'Establishment of new release procedures for the CRS held in the UNHRD' of Memo applies "WFP Corporate Response Stocks (CRS) and the UNHRD Network". Also the Release form - right click and "save target as" - to certify the release of WFP/CRS items has to be provided for archive purposes.

In case of a requestor's stock shortfall, materials can be asked to other partners as loan from their stock; this process known as Loans & Borrowings requires the involved parties agreement and the funding made available by the service requestor to be used to replenish the stock owner inventory. An all comprehensive explanation of Loans & Borrowing process can be found in the "Loans & Borrowing process" document, while a detailed and technical description regarding the Stock Transfer / Loans & Borrowings process can be found in the "Stock Transfer Processes within UNHRD" document.

The request of loan has to be submitted by UCS representative to the lender party and when release will be obtained(submitted either via mail or any other communication means), it must be provided to the Support Office to allow the posting of the loan in the system. Support Office will inform the involved hub, and HRD Finance and Procurement unit by providing the agreement number assigned to the loan (e.g. AEHDNFI00000056); theagreement number must be recorded in all the WINGS documents (e.g. PR, PO, SO, OD etc.) and provide us the PR number thru which the items will be replenished to be returned to the Lender. It must be noted that all the loan postings, as well as the PRs and POs which will be raised with regards to the loan and borrowing process must have the Agreement document attached, which is the PDF version of the confirmation from the Lender release authority that approves the borrowing of items.
