Inbound Delivery with Valuated Stock in Transit

With condition type SPED (Stock Transfer Generates Inbound Delivery), you can set up the system to create inbound deliveries with reference to an outbound delivery automatically for stock transfer processes with receiving valuated stock in transit. You can therefore generate inbound deliveries for the following processes:

Stock transfer with transfer of title at goods issue
Stock transfer with transfer of title during transit

Prerequisites

For more information, see Prerequisites: Processes with Valuated Stock in Transit.

To set up inbound deliveries with stock in transit, you also need to do the following in Customizing:

Define confirmation control
Check the confirmation control key 0004 (Inbound Delivery) in Customizing for Materials Management, under Purchasing Confirmations Set Up Confirmation Control .

Under Confirmation Sequence, the two checkboxes GR-Relevant and GR with Confirmation must be set.
Set up condition type SPED
Check output determination procedure V10000 (Header Output) in Customizing for Logistics Execution, under Shipping Basic Shipping Functions Output Control Output Determination Maintain Output Determination for Outbound Deliveries Maintain Output Determination Procedure .

Under Control Data, there must be an entry with condition type SPED (Stock Transfer Generates Inbound Delivery) and condition 408 (Stock Transfer Create ID).
Define delivery type
Check confirmation category LA (Inbound Delivery) in Customizing for Materials Management, under Purchasing Confirmations Define Internal Confirmation Categories .

The Delivery Type Inbound Delivery Stock in Transit field must contain an inbound delivery type for the process with stock in transit (for example ELST (Inbound Delivery Receiving Valuated Stock in Transit). This delivery type must use an item category (for example ELST) that uses movement type 109 (Goods Receipt from Valuated Goods Receipt Blocked Stock) or another movement type with posting string reference 109. In addition, check the following:
- In Customizing for Logistics Execution, in the Customizing activity Define Item Category Determination in Deliveries, check the item category that is assigned to this delivery type.
- In Customizing for Logistics Execution, in the Customizing activity Define Item Categories to Deliveries, ensure that movement type 109 or a movement type with posting string reference 109 is assigned to this item category.
Set up condition record
The system creates inbound deliveries with this item category when processing output type SPED during goods issue for an outbound delivery.

In transaction VV22 (Change Output - Condition Records: Shipping), ensure that in output determination for output type SPED, the condition records for the outbound delivery type used (NCCR, NCC3, NLIR, or NLI3) have been created as follows:

Output type SPED with role WE (Goods Recipient), medium 8 (Special Function) and time 4 (Send Immediately (After Saving Application))

Process

Start (Creating the Purchase Order and Outbound Delivery)

Transaction ME21N (Create Purchase Order)
You start the process by creating a stock transport order. This stock transport order is created using a document type defined by you, which is assigned to a corresponding standard delivery type. The vendor's delivery address determines whether the process is intra-company-code or cross-company-code:
- Transfer of title at goods issue
  Document type NBCR (stock transfer to valuated stock in transit of the receiving plant) is assigned as follows:
  - To delivery type NCCR for the process with cross-company-code stock in transit (CST)
  - To delivery type NLIR for the process with intra-company-code stock in transit (IST)
- Transfer of title during transit
  Document type NBC3 (stock transfer from the valuated stock in transit of the issuing plant via the valuated stock in transit of the receiving plant to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant) is assigned as follows:
  - Cross-company-code: to delivery type NCC3
  - Intra-company-code: to delivery type NLI3
Note
In the vendor master record you must have assigned a plant to the vendor entered in the purchase order (transaction MK02 (Change Vendor), Purchasing Data view Extras Additional Purchasing Data ). The plant in question is the supplying plant.

End of the note.
Transaction VL10B (Purchase Order, Fast Display)
In collective processing for purchase orders due for shipment, create the outbound delivery for each purchase order item in the stock transport order.

You can also set up this program to run periodically.
Transaction VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery)
Perform picking for each outbound delivery.

Stock Transfer with Transfer of Title at Goods Issue

Transaction VL02N
For processes with document type NBCR, post the material from the unrestricted-use stock of the issuing plant to the valuated stock in transit of the receiving plant.

The transfer of title is thereby complete.

When you post in VL02N, the system automatically generates an inbound delivery for the outbound delivery when processing output type SPED.
Transaction VL32N (Change Inbound Delivery) or VL60 (Inbound Delivery Processing).
You post the material into the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant.

The stock transfer is thereby complete.

Stock Transfer with Transfer of Title During Transit

Transaction VL02N
For processes with document type NBC3, post the material from the unrestricted-use stock of the issuing plant to the valuated stock in transit of the issuing plant.

When you post in VL02N, the system automatically generates an inbound delivery for the outbound delivery when processing output type SPED.
Transaction VLPOD
On the POD Overview tab, the selection field for specifying the issuing valuated stock in transit contains the mandatory value 1 (Goods Issue from Issuing Valuated Stock in Transit to Receiving Valuated Stock in Transit).

The system uses this to ensure that in the case of an inbound delivery, postings are always made via the receiving valuated stock in transit.

Note
If the quantity changes during the proof of delivery, the system updates the inbound delivery. On the POD Overview tab, the system displays the difference in the Variance from Actual Delivered Quantity in Sales Units field.

End of the note.

When you confirm the proof of delivery on the POD Overview tab, you post the material into the valuated stock in transit of the receiving plant.

The transfer of title has thereby taken place during transit.
Transaction VL32N (Change Inbound Delivery) or VL60 (Inbound Delivery Processing).
You post the material into the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant.

The stock transfer is thereby complete.

Note Note

If handling units are mandatory for the storage location in the receiving plant, post first into the valuated stock in transit of the receiving plant. From the valuated stock in transit of the receiving plant, you can then post the goods receipt to the storage location with mandatory handling units with reference to the inbound delivery.

End of the note.

Reversal

By default, the reversal movement type is [Bewegungsart + 1] or [Bewegungsart + <nächster alphabetischer Buchstabe>]. The transaction with which you post the reversal depends on the transaction that corresponds to the actual movement type:

Postings in transaction VL02N, VL32N, and VL60 are reversed in transaction VL09 (Reverse Goods Movement).
Postings in transaction VLPOD are reversed in the same transaction: VLPOD.

Result

After a successful goods transfer you can proceed with invoicing as usual.

You can track the quantity and value of the material throughout the process:

Transaction MMBE (Stock Overview)
The system displays issuing valuated and receiving valuated stock in transit by company code and plant (also with reference to a sales order or project).
Transaction MM03 (Material Display, Accounting View 1)
You can display the total stock and stock value by plant.
Transaction MB5T (Display Stock in Transit)
You can display the stock difference between material quantities that were received and sent.
Transaction MB5SIT (Display Stock in Transit)
The system displays the delivery document flow and purchase order history for processes with valuated stock in transit. The respective issuing valuated and receiving valuated stocks in transit are shown.

Using the inbound delivery number you can display the receiving stock in transit for the cross-company-code and intra-company-code process.
