Error when using 557 movement type to remove stocks from intransit

Question

Dear All,
We have some stocks left in intrasit where we use only inventory management to do this stock transfer(ie. we are not using STO),now we want to remove this stock from intransit. When i tried to use movment type 557 I got an error (Deficit of PL Stock in transit 10 DZ : CHS10088 2KUR 0000000867) with message number M7021. I cross this material with mb52 to find the avalability of this intransit stock and found that it  is available at given plant but with out a batch number. When I tried to use this movement type it asks for a batch number so i have given an available batch number. Can you please help me to remove this stock from intransit.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Chameendri

Hi
the movement types 557 ( and 558 ) can only be used to update intra-company
transit stock which is saved in MARC-TRAME. IF you are using purchase
orders  cross-company stock transfers, the transit stock is only a virtual transit stock what is calculated
based on the purchase order history. So this issue cannot be addressed
by changing the data in a stock table.
Are you using intra-company STO ?
Please check carefully note 392205  that contains the report ZTRAME
.Please see the following information:
A report attached to the note 392205 tries to explain the stock in
transit using the documents existing in the system. First verify the
current stock in transit situation using the report ZTRAME as per the
note 392205. This program tries to 're-calculate' the stock in transit
based on the material documents and the purchase order history.
Based on the results of the program the movement-types 557 and 558 can
be used to correct the stock in transit (-> add or book out stock in
transit).
I hope this can be of help
