Inventroy tracking in import process

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Materail (stock) as well as container (no of containers with container no) tracking is required at various places during import.

Ex- 1. stock of mat and containers at port 2. stock of mat and containers at shipping line yard 3. stock of mat and containers at our ware house 4.stock of mat and containers at plant (where actual GRN takes place). This is needed to client since they are importing thousands of containers per month.

Any solution will be highly appriciated and fully rewarded.

Hi,

Create a separate Plant as Import Plant apart from the Main plant and under this Import Plant create following storage locations (In OX09);

1. Port Area

2. Shipping Line Yard

3. Warehouse

Whenever there is an import Purchase, create PO in the Import Plant and do GR in Import Plant under Storage Location "Port Area" when Materials and Containers are received in Port (In MIGO)

When Materials & Containers are in Shipping Line Yard, then do stock transfer from "Port Area" Storage Location to "Shipping Line Yard" Storage Location using movement type 311 in Import Plant (In MIGO)

When Materials & Containers are in Warehouse, then do stock transfer from "Shipping Line Yard" Storage Location to "Warehouse" Storage Location using movement type 311 in Import Plant

And finally when Materials & Containers have reached to the Main Plant then create a Stock Transport Order in the Main Plant and keep Supplying Plant as Import Plant and do GR w.r.t. this STO in Main Plant.

Hi Pankaj,

I compeletly agree with you and which was my last option. Here what is the necessity of creating a separate plant. Also there are no documents required between my warehouse and plant in STO. So i feel there is no need of saparete plant. Also let me know what are the implications when we do GRN in port with excise effects (we are 100% EOU). Can our requirement be fullfilled with inbound delivery?

HI,

in import , from port of despatch to the port of destination we can track the material movements through transportation module.

form warehouse to plant we can track normally through MIGO with movement type 103 and 105 or any other Z-movement type.

but this is bit complicate

regards
