Dear Experts

I need your help for the error message "PL Stock in transit exceeded by 0.001 EA : 300183721 0428 10". and Message no. M7022

The details cycle is given below

the Article code's 300183721 units of measures is maintained as 1 EA = 24 CAR

Its a STO - stock moveing from one store to another store( site/plant )

Article stock 0.959 CAR is outwarded (VL02n) and when othere store is try to inward (MB0A) the same qty it is not allowed but its allowed us 0.958 car

but when we look at the in-transit stock again using MB5T, the same 0.001 CAR is appearing

Shall be grateful, if could kindly provide me a solution urgently to overcome this issue.

Thanks in advance

Kind Regards

Hi,

Please refer to SAP note No.392205

Analysis of stock in transit/correction for split valuation

Note Language: English Version: 15 Validity: Valid from 13.06.2001

Summary

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.
