Stock in transit scenario

Hi all
I need to configure the stock in transit scenario,
How I know whn the Client/Another plant reach the material.
From SD Side I know that when I make the PGI,i am sending the material from our plant,
but how tho get know when the client reach it?
Thanks in advanc ad best regards
L

Hi,
As per standard process, after going out from your plant, material is termed as in transit. There is no specific way to tell when it will reach to the end client. It will only have the reach date based on the route transit time. If client or the end plant will enter the time as soon as the material reached there. then only you can know the exact time. There is various add ons with Fedex, UPS and many courier companies which also provides shipping confirmations from the client upon reaching the material.
Thanks,
Raja

ATP for 'Stock in transit' for 3rd Party scenario

We have a scenario:
For warehouse replenishments an STO is created and then a delivery is subsequently created for the STO. Once the delivery has been shipped out of the manufacturing facility (post goods issued) the materials on the delivery are transferred from unrestricted-stock at the manufacturing facility to stock-in-transit at the receiving warehouse. Once the stock is in transit to the third-party warehouses, ATP should then take it into consideration when deliveries are created from the third-party warehouses to customers.
Now how to take the ATP check for 3rd party del. into consideration for STO?
STO document type is UD
Goods issue movement type is 641
Goods receipt movement type is 101

Some useful info here..

Stock in transit using purchasing cube

Dear Friends ,
I would like to create a key figure Stock in transit based on My purchasing cube.
DSO 0PUR_O02
Cube 0PUR_C02
Not dilivered qty. of open Purchase order is considered as stock in transit in our
scenario.
1) I would like to know how can we determine the open PO. According to me its simple
open qty = PO qty - GR qty and if open qty is more then 0 then its should be considered
open po. But in our case some time supplier give us some less qty and even we said po is
closed. and somtime supplier give us more qty and we said po is closed.
now please advice me how can we determine that PO is closed or not.
regards,
Malik

Hi,
You can do it, but you need to create the keyfigure, which will inclued Movement types or Process keys,
You just see the 0TRANSSTOCK key figure in 0IC_C03 cube, which is non-cumulative keyfigure and internally having two keyfigures, so in that way first you analyze the concept behind that and do.
Thanks

Stock in Transit

Hi All
Scenario
1. Purchase order quantity 9 units
2. GR done for 8.999 Units
3. Stock in transit showing 0.001 units.
4. Purchase order is still open and cannot do DC as it throws an error that quantity does not match
5. Purchase order is still open is reports and needs to be closed.
Please guide me on the same as to whcih Tcode and movement type can be used to settle/adjust the quantity of 0.001 units and what would be its constraints or restrictions.
Regards,

Hi,
As per note no 392205 : Note 389484 makes movement types 557 and 558 available.By 557 mvt type
excess stock in transit can be removed or and by 558 missing stock in transit can be created.
Now as per standard SAP 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.
I think probably this will help you in devleoping better understanding as everything is self explanatory now as per note suggested by you.

VMI and reduce Stock in Transit - what are the right methods?

Hi Gurus,
We are using APO system to implement VMI functionality to replenish stock at customer location. We need to build stock in transit at customer location after PGI happens in ECC.
Now, stock in transit is show up in 'Stock in transit' key figure, but the question is how to reduce stock in transit once it is received at customer location.
SAP recommends following four methods to reduce:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/f1/f69a3dcbcfac53e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
1. Goods receipt information is not sent from the customer to the vendor
2. The open purchase order quantity is sent from the customer to the vendor
3. A proof of delivery is sent from the customer
4. The stock in transit quantity is sent from the customer to the vendor
Out of these 1 and 2 methods are feasible in our scenario.
Please share your experience if you have used any of these methods, I want to hear from someone who implemented any of these methods before deciding on a method.
Thanks in advance,
Niranjan

Dear Niranjan,
I have implemented SCM-APO VMI using Past Releases of SCM (version 4.1) for upto 300 Customer Sites & 500-1000 Products.
In my experience ... this is a Big Custom Development using EDI - IDOCs / ALE wherein you Receive from Customer the Data either as "Open Orders" or "Goods Receipt" of VMI Order at Customer Store or "In-transits" as they view it. There is a Facility to receive them in the PROACT IDOC but you have to write IDOC FUnction Modules to post the Data to the
VMI Planning Area as well as at Product-Location you have to Daily Delete the In-transit Order (Category EI or AH for ASN) and Upload Intransit Quantity directly into Live-Cache as a Order. The Development is also complex as you need to Map the VMI Customer Product to the Vendor/Manufacturer's Product COdes in SCM-APO.
I have experience implementing VMI like this several years ago ... and I am not sure if SAP SCM-APO built anything Standard for the Interface over the years. If you are not sure get a ALE/IDOC & ABAP Consultant or XI Consultant to work with you on the Project.
You can Delete In-transit Quantities by using RLCDEL Transaction for Category EI or AH (if ASNs are used). You need a IDOC/ALE Development to Calculate and Upload In-Transits and Update into the VMI Planning Area as well as Download to a FILE which you can use via another ABAP Development to Upload In-transits at the Product-Location (Customer) in SCM-APO.
Hope this helps.

After research and testing I found second method looks good to me. I tested in our test system, this works pretty much they way it is described in the help (link in above message) . The issue is resolved.

Interco- Stock in Transit

Hi Experts
Scenario: Intercompany STO. Shipping plant posted the Goods issue and the material is in Transit.
Now how do i get the stock in Transit Material cost (Std Cost) in Report.
I used the MB5T it shows the Purchase Order Net Value only and not the STD cost of Recieving plant. MB52 not clear as well.
Could any one advise...
regards
RG.

Hi,
Stock in transit keyfigure will display only EI orders (incase of VMI
scenario) and AH orders (if you create inbound delivery).
If you integrate stock,CS orders only will be available in /sapapo/RRP3.
The root of the problem is in the setting from Intransit key figure:
from a planning area management point of view it reflects
the setting used in the standard SNP planning area but the customizing
of the category group used there is different from the one used in
standard systems.
Actually you added category CS there. But category CS has a atp category
type 0, which means stocks actually. In the SNP planning books by design
stocks are read separately from other orders because have to be
considered in the ATD computation.
Therefore if you need to read orders with category CS you should
consider it in the category group assigned to the ATD receipts key
figure and to the stock key figure.
This customizing could be applied at the planning area level, as
described above or at the master location level, SNP tab.
In this case you can specify there the category groups which have to be
used in order to consider stocks, ATD receipts and ATD issues about all
products assigned to the used master location. Please refer to the
related F1 helps in order to get more information about.
You can get more information at note 591310.

STO stock in transit

Hi,
We have a scenario where we have 2 step STO process involving stock in transit. At the time of PGI there should be debit entry in stock in transit which is knocked off at the time of GR at receiving plant. Please suggest the OBYC configuration.

MM records the stock as in-transit, but from the FI perspective:
Dr. Inventory, receiving plant
Cr. Inventory, shipping plant
In PCA:
Dr Invenotry, receiving profit center
Cr Inventory, shipping profit center
Dr Deliveries from other profit centers, receiving prctr (i.e., purchases)
Cr Internal business, shipping prctr (i.e., sales)
Dr change in stock, shipping profit center
Cr change in stock, receiving profit center
FI doesn't care about in-transit. MM does, so you can see it in the various stock overview transactions.

Stock transport order /stock in transit

Hello
For a stock Transport order scenario { Recieving Plant , Delivering plant } , the documented procedure is:-
1) stock transport order>Goods issue by delivering plant--
>stock in transit(valuated) -- >Unrestricted/inquality/blocked/consumption
just sticking to the above method, how many Material documents & accounting documents would be generated ?
Thanks

Hi,
It depends on your setting, whether you go for 2-step Stock Transport or 1-step.
If It is 1-step then 1 material document and 1 accounting document.
This material document will be of movement type 647 and stock will not come in transit, stock will directly get moved from Supplying Plant to Receiving Plant.
And if it is 2-step then 2 material documents and 1 accounting document.
1 material document for GI from Supplying Plant to Stock in Transit (Movement Type - 641), and another from stock in transit to receiving plant (Movement Type - 101).
And it will update PO History in both the cases.
You can config. this in SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Setup Stock Transport order > Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, Underdelivery Tolerance > here activate "One-step" indicator if you want 1-step otherwise keep blank for 2-step.

Stock in transit problem (351 Movement type)

In standard system you have two options concerning stock transfer:
- one step process
- two step process
Concerning mvt 351 scenario you can use only the two step process - please see SAP online help:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/52/38f741a47dc517e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Standard SAP concept is that when posting GI the ownership of the stock changes. Of course in real life it is not (always) true because the ownership change of the goods doesn't depend (generally) on the fact the goods leave the WH or not. Ownership change is controlled by the agreement of the parties (contract, incoterms) - but sorrowfully SAP cannot manage this (maybe it would be very difficult to solve each and every case in ERP system).
So, please check the link and choose a solution that suits your business requirement, else you have to choose a workaround or go to development.
(E.g. you can define a "stock in transit" storage location for the supplying plant --> first you move the goods into this stock in transit storage location and when the goods arrive at receiving plant you can post them to receivng's plant storage location. Dummy solution...)

Hi,
Do Invoice reduction.
Use
This function is best used for vendors that often send overpriced invoices.
Reducing an invoice usually means more work for you. The vendor will usually have queries about why an invoice was reduced or will send an invoice for the difference.
Before you use total-based invoice reduction, you should carefully consider:
Which vendors you can use the total-based invoice reduction function for
Whether you can be really sure that the difference is due to a vendor error
Cases in which manual invoice reduction would be more appropriate
Whether total-based acceptance would not be better than total-based invoice reduction for small differences, in cases where the costs of searching for the error are greater than the gain.
Prerequisites
You only use total-based invoice reduction when all of the following conditions are fulfilled:
The invoiced amount is larger than the planned amount.
You have not reduced the invoice manually.
You have not yet accepted the difference in the invoice manually.
The difference exceeds the positive small difference set in Customizing for Logistics Invoice Verification.
An invoice reduction tolerance has been set for the vendor and company code in Customizing for Logistics Invoice Verification.
The difference lies within the invoice reduction tolerance limits set.
Features
This function automatically generates a credit memo when an invoice is posted. As a result, the vendor is only paid for the amount minus the invoice reduction. The vendor receives a letter of complaint detailing why the invoice was reduced.
This letter of complaint does not, however, contain any information on which items were reduced, since invoices are only reduced automatically at header level and not at item level.
When an invoice is posted with total-based invoice reduction, the system posts the amount invoiced that you entered to the vendor account. In addition to the other postings, it also creates a posting line for the difference and posts it to the "invoice reduction clearing account". In addition to the invoice, the system also posts a credit memo to clear the balance on the "invoice reduction clearing account". The offsetting entry is posted to the vendor account. The invoice and credit memo together amount to the open item on the vendor account that is to be paid.
It will solve your issue.

Stock in Transit Inventory Difference

Hi SAP Gurus,
We have a scenario such that, "there is some quantity of stock has been showing in Stock in transit".
When we verify the documents(PO, Delivery) pertaining to that stock in transit, all are very old(2004) and have been archivied already.
Now, How to reconcile the difference...?
Please suggest.
Rgds,
Shravan.

Stock in Transit to Unrestricted

Hi SAP Gurus,
Good day.
I need your help on this issue. Here is the scenario.
We have a custom program where it automatically creates PO to Delivery (until PGI).
In this transaction, the user have entered a non maintained pallet. So the Delivery is created. They can be able to create the delivery, do the transfer order and picking. However, they cannot PGI. So they realized that pallet is incorrect. In VL02N, they change the pallet to a correct one and did PGI, but as Delivery date had already passed, the materials were sent from SLoc 1000 to B019, but in B019 they were kept as Stock in Transit Status.
Do you know a way to change the status either return them to SLoc 1000 and then do the PO and Delivery again. or do you know how to change from Stck in transit to Unrestricted. Or any other way to solve the issue - to do PGI.
I have suggested the user to cancel the delivery LT0G but as per to them, they are unable to do so. I also suggested to transfer back the stock using LT01, still they were unable to do so. I also suggested them to do MIGO. But they were unable to do it also.
Thank you and hoping for your response.
Regards,
Bluetag

Hi
The process should be as follows
At supplying plant
Create STO with ME21N
Create deliveru with VL10B
Pick delivery and Post goods issue
Stock leaves supplying plant and is in 'Transit' and you will see it in MB5T with STO number.
In receiving Plant
GR against either STO or Outbound delivery using MIGO
Save
Stock moves from Transit in to Receiving plant.
One tip
Receive what is sent and sort out any anomolies with stock adjustments
This keeps MB5T 'clean' which can be a pain to 'fix' when you start to get red minuses in there.
I hope that this helps
