STO Stock in transit Negative stock

Hi
In Intercompany STO (2 step)
In Circumstances like, GR posted by recieving plant before the shipping plant make GI, the stock in transit in MMBE appears as Negative stock under Stock in TransitCC.
Can help to understand in detail please.
thanks
RG

HI,
In this case, the negative indiactor indicates that, in-transit there is a no stock and hence it shows the negative sign.. If GI happens first, then MB5T will show the +Ve value. If GR happens first then it will show the negative and once GI posted it will be nullified.
We can automate in such a way that, an out put needs to be triggered from the GI document which will post the GR for the STO.

Stock in transit for Stock transfer report

HI
Do we have any standard reports for Stock in Transit for Stock transfers (like what we have MB5T for STO) ?
When we do a transfer using 303 mvt type we see stock in transit in MARC-UMLMC do we have any other standard report which can provide a document number and the stock in transit qty
Thanks
K

Hi,
You can see through MBSU.
& MB51 is Report.

Items with zero stock quantity show negative stock value in Stock reports

When running Stock reports for controlling the stock value towards the GL accounts, some items appear with zero stock quantity, but the report still shows a stock value (negative value in my case)
How can this happen, and how can I correct this situation ?
System parameters are : negative stock is not allowed, Items with zero cost price not allowed. On item level average cost price method is used.
P.K.Johnsen

Hi Johnsen,
I believe you have checked the" Manage Inventory by warehouse". I have noticed this issue in SAP B1 2005B but this is rectified in 2007B. The system behaves in this way as the system maintains item cost for the item for all warehouses and even if the stock is not present in the warehouse, the system would still show you a value for the same. Hope this helps. please search the forum. You'll find related threads.
Thanks,

How to implement issuing stock in-transit for stock transport orders

Hello,
We are using stock transport orders in SAP. At the moment the supplying plant does a post goods issue for the delivery, the stock in-transit is "owned" by the receiving plant. Our Finance department wants this to be changed in such a way that the stock will be owned by the issuing plant until it has been received by the reciving plant.
It seems there is a possibility to do that, but I can not figure out what exactly needs to be done. Can someone explain to me the steps that need to be taken to implement this?
Thanks,
Ed

Try MB5TD. Please also check OSS notes 1120843, 1268193, 925384.

Stock in transit to be removed

Hi,
We have stopped using One of our plant. We have cleared all plant stock but now we observe we have some stock stuck in the in-transit category. We dont want to or cannt receive tht stock in plant.
How we can get rid of this stock in transit?
Thanks
Akkshaya

Hi,
Please refer to the SAP note 392205,
Symptom
SAP Support: Please read the remark to the note!
o Goods receipt for stock transport orders cannot be posted as the
system reports a deficit in the stock in transit (Message M7
021/022).
o Materials show stock in transit although there are no longer any
open stock transport orders.
Caution:This note only refers to real stock in transit and not to
virtual stock in transit in cross-company stock transport orders.
Counter-indications
The procedure in this note (movement types 557 nd 558) must not be followed
to "correct" genuine database inconsistencies in the stock in transit
which, for example, have arisen due to incorrect updates. Proceed as in
Note 32236.
Additional key words
Stock transport order, stock transfer, MARC-TRAME, MSSA-SATRA, MSSQ-SQTRA,
stock in transit, TRAME, M7021, M7022, MvT557, MvT558, 557, 558,
correction, MMINKON
Cause and prerequisites
The R/3 system is designed so that the stock in transit can only be posted
through stock transport orders (creation during goods issue, reduction
during goods receipt).
Purchase order and material master record can have different units of
measure. The purchase order is then closed when the goods issue quantity
and quantity of goods received are the same in order unit. However, in the
material master record, the stock in transit is managed in the base unit of
measure.
On account of system-dependent and program-internal rounding effects which
cannot be avoided, the open stock in transit quantities in order unit and
in base unit of measure might not balance to zero at the same time.
Example 1
Stock transport order over 100 pallets. Conversion factor 1 kg = 3
pallets.
Goods issue in one step: 33.333 kg are posted to the stock in
transit (quantity fields of the material master record have an
accuracy to three decimal places in R/3).
Partial goods receipt over 50 pallets. It reduces the stock in
transit by 16.667 kg.
A second partial goods receipt over the still outstanding 50
pallets fails as only 16.666 kg remained in the stock in transit
30.08.2008 Page 2 of 5
Note 392205 - Analysis of stock in transit/correction for split valuation
but 16.667 kg should be booked out again.
Example 2
Stock transport order over 1 pallet, conversion factor 1 pallet =
10000 pieces. In the material master record, an alternative unit of
measure 'Carton' is managed (conversion factor: 1 carton = 1234
pieces).
During goods issue, 1 carton is now entered. As there is a
conversion only from the carton unit of measure to the piece base
unit of measure, the system first converts to 1234 pieces. These
are then converted into order unit of 0.123 pallets via the factor
of the purchase order. The system now posts 0.123 pallets and 1234
pieces.
A goods receipt over 0.123 pallets (default quantity and unit) is
now executed over 1230 pieces and leaves 4 pieces in the stock in
transit.
Solution
Organizational solution
You can avoid the effect if you use the stock transport order according to
the business idea that it is based on. A corresponding goods receipt should
be posted for every goods issue.
Goods issues in N substeps and goods receipts in M substeps with N < > M or
non-corresponding quantities/units do not match the business process
intended for stock transport orders.
Correction of the stock in transit without purchase order
reference
Note 389484 makes movement types 557 and 558 available. These are derived
from the class of the scrapping movement types and can post the stock in
transit without purchase order reference. For actually visible
problems, excess stock in transit can be removed or missing stock in
transit can be created with this.
A report is attached to the current note; this report tries to explain the
stock in transit using the documents existing in the system.
Prerequisites
This report requires that program RM07APP1 exists in your system and date
"12.01.2001" is contained at the program start in the comment block. If
this is not the case, the program is to be updated by importing the
transport mentioned in Note 198596.
Notes on use of the analysis report
The analysis report uses the documents existing in the system (purchase
order history records and material documents) to explain the stock in
transit.
The data is displayed on four levels:
o Documents
Material documents which posted to the stock in transit. The
quantity is displayed in order unit and base unit of measure.
If you want adjustment documents to be taken into account on the
initial screen of the report, the system only displays the base
30.08.2008 Page 3 of 5
Note 392205 - Analysis of stock in transit/correction for split valuation
quantity for these.
o Purchase order item
The data of the purchase order item results through summation of
the material documents. Here, you find the open quantity in order
unit, the expected open quantity in stock in transit which results
from this by means of the item conversion factors as well as the
quantity actually posted in stock in transit.
Adjustment documents are allocated with purchase order number
'Correction'.
o Valuation type
The total of the expected open stock in transit quantity is
compared with the quantity actually posted; in the case of
differences these are displayed separately.
If these differences are the same as the differences which led to
the execution of the report, adjustment postings can now be
executed with movement types 557 and 558.
Quantities displayed as positive (green) indicate a surplus in the
stock in transit which should be booked out with 557. Apply
analogously "negative/red/558".
The correct valuation type is to be used for split valuated
materials during the correction (see below).
o Material/plant
Here, the stock in transit calculated through the documents is
compared with the stock in transit contained in the database in
order to check that the documents are sufficient to explain the
existing stock in transit.
On the initial screen of the report, you can choose up to which level the
list is displayed first. By double-click, a detailing of the summarized
display is possible.
There are direct jumps to the display of material documents (double-click
on material document number or item) and purchase orders (double-click on
purchase order number or item).
The report can recognize warning and error situations which are output in
column 'Status'. Every message is identified by an X in a different column.
The system outputs the messages in text format with explanations when you
click on the status column.
If documents were archived (purchase orders and/or material documents),
remaining stocks in the stock in transit which did not result through the
remaining documents can no longer be explained. In general, this has the
effect that the report shows an error concerning variances in stock in
transit on material level.
In the ideal case, it should only be possible to explain the stock in
transit through the open purchase orders which cannot be archived. Without
selection of the adjustment documents, the report only shows the situation
resulting from the open purchase orders. Then, adjustment postings cause a
change of the posted stock in transit on material level (as the adjustment
30.08.2008 Page 4 of 5
Note 392205 - Analysis of stock in transit/correction for split valuation
documents are not selected).
Conclusion: During analysis without adjustment documents, there should be
no differences between posted and existing stock in transit on material
level.
If batch-related quantity conversions are used (active ingredient
management and product units of measure), the expected stock in transit
which results from the open purchase order quantity cannot be calculated
correctly. The report uses the conversion stored in the purchase order item
which represents the planned factor.
Conclusion: If this procedure is used, the results of the report only make
sense if the purchase orders which are below a hierarchy level show all an
open quantity of zero in order unit.
It is not useful to execute the report periodically and to execute a blind
posting for the shown differences. The results must be checked for
plausibility.
Special features of movement types 557 and 558
o These movement types should only be used to correct the stock in
transit in specific cases. A regular use in order to achieve new
business processes is not wanted.
o The movement types must not be copied for technical reasons!
o Do no longer use the modified movement types Z05 and Z06 created
with Note 181297. However, do never delete the entry in
table T156M which was created for this note
(Recommendation was ZEU1).
CAUTION --- CAUTION --- CAUTION --- CAUTION
Due to historic reasons, the data model of R/3 is incomplete concerning
material with split valuation in the stock in transit (the stock in transit
is managed independent of valuation types but already belongs to the
valuated stock which is managed with the exact valuation type).
The direct posting of the stock in transit for material with split
valuation can cause database inconsistencies which cannot be checked during
the posting with movement types 557 and 558. For the time being, the use of
the movement types for split valuated material is not possible and leads to
error message M7048 (Use one-step procedure for transfer posting to mat.
subj. to valuation).
It is possible to deactivate this error message by entering message
category ' ' (blank character) in message Customizing of the inventory
management.
After you have executed the required corrections, the message has to be set
to category 'E' again to prevent end users from causing damage with the
movement types.

Hello
Please take a look on question 9 of the following FAQ note, which explains the standard system behavior:
549752 - FAQ: MRP elements in transaction MD04/MD05
9. Question: Why does the system not display stock in transit for stock
    transport orders with order confirmation (notified orders)?
    Answer:
    Purchase order confirmations do not have to match the original
    purchase order delivery schedule lines. Moreover, the purchase order
    confirmation (view MDLA in materials planning) does not contain the
    same information as the purchase order to determine the stock in
    transit. The display of the stock in transit is therefore not
    implemented for the purchase order confirmation in the materials
    planning evaluation transactions.

Reg: Negative Stock

Hii,
How does negative stocks works in SAP, here in Material Master for a selected material in plant 1000 and SL 0001, i have checked on negative stock option in Plant/ Storage 2 view.
while issuing the stock in MIGO, it is not allowing and it is givng an error with deficit qty not allowed.
Can u pls guide me, how does it should make it work.
Thanks
Regards,
Muralidharan

Hi muralidharan ,
A negative stock occurs when you post a goods issue(GI) witha quantity that is larger than the book inventory.Negative stock balances may be required if,for organizational reasons,you enter goods issue before the coreesponding goods receipts,and the material is already physically located in the warehouse.Negative stocks always indicate that physical movments have to be entered in the system at the later stage.
So that you can work with negative stock inSAP system,you have to specifically allow this in customizing for the affected material.In Customizing for inventory mangerment,you will find the settings for negative stock under Goods issue/Transfer postings>Allow Negative stocks..The path for this is
SPRO>Materials mangement>Inventory management and physical inventory>Goods issue/Transfer postings>Allow negative stocks
Negative stocks are allowed at valuation area level and storage location level.At plant level,you can set the special stocks for which negative stocks is allowed.
For example the special stocks for which negative stock is allowed are
>Vendor consignment
>Stock of material provided to vendor
>Consignment stock at customer
>Sales order stock
>Project stock
>Returnable packaging with customer
>Returnable transport packaging
If you have negative stock for a material ,this is shown in the material master record on the accounting view,the plant stock view,and the storage location stock view.The negative stock is also displayed in the stock lists.
To determine for which materials you have negative stocks,use the warehouse stock for material report.From SAP Easy acess screen,choose Logistics>Materials management>Inventory management>Environment>Stock>Warehouse stock(MB52)
You can execute the selection,for example,for several materials for a storage location that allows negative stocks.So that only the materials with negative stocks are displayed,choose the Only display negative stocks indicator on the selection screen.
Hope this will help you

Thanks and Regards

Negative stocks for the previous period when closed MM period

hi,
I try to use MMPV to close MM period, error message is displayed "
Some materials have negative stocks for the previous period."
how to solve this problem and what cause this message? why system allow negative stock?
thanks

Hi
Negative stock means that for a material in your plant stock is 0 on current posting date but you still want to issue the material.
So in order to achieve this u need to activate the Negative stock for that material in material master and mark the setting of negative stock for the storage location.
Using the Transaction OLMB ---Goods Receipt

Negative Stock customising

Hi Guru's,
we are doing implementation for one our client and client is asking to activate the negative stock functionality in SAP.
can anyone tell me is there any implications in activating the negative stock.
Regards

Hi,
Negative stocks can be utilized for a number of different business scenarios, for instance:
1. If a material shipment is going to a customer, but the production has not yet confirmed (and there is not enough stock on hand to satisfy the requirement), instead of getting the "deficit of stock..." message when doing the issue for the delivery, the system will allow you to issue the material, and your inventory will show a negative quantity until the production confirmation is
performed.
2. I had a client who used this functionality to track component usage for their subcontractors. They would confirm production for an entire month for the FERT materials produced by the subcontractor. Starting the month with zero stock for all components, then at the end of the month the value of the component stock (disregarding the negative sign) would be deducted from the amount they owed for the services performed. In this agreement, the components were "sold" to the subcontractor but no invoicing ever took place for the components. Just a word of caution ...negative stocks/values for materials can raise many questions for accounting purposes at the end of fiscal periods.
There have been several reasons for using the negative stock functionality subject to the specific business requirements of your industry. Some of the reasons to use this negative stock feature due to the following :
1) Sales of finished products to customers. We are cement producer and in an effort to avoid any delay in selling our products to our customers, we determined to allow negative stock posting since it is of our cement industry that cement after being packed will be delivered directly to our customers ie. no temporary storage is required.
2) The alignment of inventory/stock movement with production process where due to some reason, the reception of raw materials and/or consumables was not maintained on time resulting in interruption of process order confirmation
As you know negative stock will have negative value, which will have direct impact to financials. Say you have a material of Qty 10 Each, total worth $ 10.00 in stock and since you enabled negative stock in system ( valuation area level and plant- storage location level ) if you try to issue stock of say 20 Eaches, system will show stock of negative 10 and value $-10.00.
After that if you try to do goods receipt of say 20 eaches, of total value 20.00 material will have original status as you started. But if the value is different say 25.00, then moving average will be arrived from $15.

Clear the negative from stock in transit

Hello,
I am looking at transit stock and have several cases where for intercompany PO the delivery has been created and GI'd but the receiving plant makes excess GR for the actula qty hence creating negative stock in transit. Apart from asking the origin plant to create a delivery + PGI. what other solution would be available to clear the differences?
Thank you.
Sai

Hi
This happens because as you say the receiving plant have received more than was on the delivery, However if they actually have the stock I personally thik that is what they should do to keep the stocks correct.
In theory you should have stock showing in the sending plant that you do not have as the receiving plant has it and so to keep the stocks correct and to keep the finances correct you should raise another delivery for the extra stock (on the same PO/STO doc) and when you issue it the negative will dissappear.
Remember ALL negatives appear fror a reason and should not be just 'cleared' without some investigation.
In this case you know the answer so you can ;fix' it
I hope that this helps

Removal of stock in transit in case of Intercompany STO

Hi Gurus,
Problem : User was not able to set the delivery completion flag in the Intercompany STO because the goods issue qty is greater than that of goods receipt qty at the receiving plant. For that solution is given in the SAP note 167795.
I am yet to implement the note but wanted to know how to clear the stock in transit (after setting the del. completion flag in PO) in case of IC STO, because it is considered as virtual stock in transit.

Hi Sandip,
the stock in transit for CC STOs is virutal as you said. It's always calculated from the GI and GR quantities. The actual formula is EKET-WAMNG - EKET-WEMNG. Until the GR and GI quantities ain't the same, it won't be cleared. You may want to have a look at SAP note 100690, too.
Cheers,
Attila

Stock in transit to the Original Stock( STO process with Billing)

HI All ,
Here is an Issue on Stock Transport Order with Billing
A STO (Purchase Order) Is raised Which consist of 6 line Items.
VL10B is Done and Outbond Delivery no generated.
With this Outbond Delivery no PGI is done for All Line items.
Goods Receipt is Done(RECIEVED quantity will be in Quality Inspection Stock).
So through T.code QA32 the End User had done
a) Accepeted 5 line Item and 1 line Item he had sent as" Return to Vendor".
Note: ALL Items in this STO process are Exiceable Items.
Because of this Return to Vendor of 1 item in QA32 a material document is generated with
Movement type 122 and 1 Item is found in material is Transit in recieving plant .
But now The User wants:
a)To cancel the Material Doc generated with movement type 122 and
b)To bring back the Line Item1(Return to Vendor ) STOCK back to the "Receiving Plant"

Hi,
Since your 122 was created from QA, I don't think you can cancel this document in MIGO.
You may have to perform 101 to receipt from stock in transit again.

STO. How to create the stock in transit if the plant has been block.

Problem with STO. How to clear the stock in transit if the plant has been block.

The command builder takes a Select SQL and automatically creates a Insert, Update, and Delete SQL commands. The database could have Insert priviledge and not Updates and Delete priviledges. But I don't think this is causing the problem. I suspect
the Orcacle Client handled an exception that wasn't returned to you code and the client is in an invalid state. You may need call a new constructor for the client. I would check the Control Panel : Adminsitrative Tools : Event Viewer to see if
there were any error messages created when you ran the application.

STOs needs to be closed, eventhough some stock in transit.

Issue: on Stock Transfer Orders, partial quatities has been deliverd, but these needs POs to be closed out.
Case 1: Purchase Order Qty = 80 Box, they have done delivery/PGI for 80.185 and GR for 80.184 Box, so there is stock in transit 0.001
Case 2: Here the PO Qty = 7 Drums, but delivery for 7.412 DR, GI for 7.412 DR and GR for 7.411 DR., so there is stock in transit 0.001 DR.
Case 3: Here the PO Qty = 14 Drums, delivery/GI for 12.920 DR, GR for 12.919 DR, so there is a stock in transit 0.001 DR.
For all the above three POss there is some stock in transit, so there POs are still open.
Now the issue they want to close these POs, they did movement 558, but doesn't work. and they aslo did MIGO(101) with ref. outbound delivery for the remaining Qty, but doesn't work. giving error "GR not possible for delivery xxxxxx..error code 4"
How to close these STOs???

hi suresh babu
Iu2019ve the same problems, and i was wondering that youu2019ve found the solution
t tried the movement type 557 and 558, but my STO does not change, more Iu2019ve an error message : "Deficit of PL Stock in transit 2 UN : material plant batch"
Thanks in advance for your answers
