Schedule line movement type assignment

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

Here in stock transport process, the schedule line being used is given. that schedule line, in configuration, has movement type 641 (stock in transit) in 'movement type' field and 647 (stock in transit) in 'movement type 1-step' field. in STO process, only 641 movement type appears if i check the document flow. what is the use for defining another movement type then?

Pls reply ASAP

Hi,

When you send the goods from one plant to another plant, while doing the PGI, the system will use the movement type 641 in STO process. Once it is done, till the time the receiving plant do the Goods Receipt and receive the stock, the stock will lie in "Stock in Transit". For this purpose only the movement type 647 is used.

You can check the stocks in stock in transit by the t-code MB5T. Once the GR is done, stock in transit quantities will be cleared.

Dear vijay

Thanks for the helpful reply. As you mentioned that 641 will be used for STO process, i am really not clear about the usage of mvt 647 here. Moreover, the movement type 647 isn't visible anywhere in the process flow.

Hi,

Goods receipt can be in "One-step" or "Two-step" process.

In One step process, when there Goods issue is done at the supplying Plant, stock value gets updated automatically in the receiving Plant and Movement Type used at the receiving Plant is 647.

In Two-step process,updation of stock at the receiving Plant takes place only after MIGO and Movement Type used is 641 in this case.
