This flowchart illustrates three different scenarios for Inter Company Material Transfer using Stock in Transit (SIT) in SAP. The process involves transferring materials between two plants in different company codes, showcasing various movement types and transactions.
Common Initial Steps
- Create Purchase Order 📝: A Purchase Order is created at Plant 0001 (Company Code 0001) to initiate the material transfer from Plant 1000.
- Create Outbound Delivery 🚚: An outbound delivery is created at Plant 1000 (Company Code 1000) for the goods being transferred to Plant 0001.
Scenario 1: Basic Cross-Company Stock Transfer
- Perform Goods Issue 🚛 (VL02N: 681): The stock is issued from Plant 1000 and moved to In-Transit Stock using movement type 681.
- Perform Goods Receipt 🏗️ (VLPOD: 685 + 101): Upon arrival at Plant 0001, a goods receipt is posted using movement types 685 and 101, moving the stock from In-Transit to the receiving plant’s inventory.
Scenario 2: Cross-Company Stock Transfer with Proof of Delivery (POD)
- Perform Goods Issue 🚛 (VL02N: 681): The stock is issued from Plant 1000 and recorded as In-Transit Stock.
- Perform Proof of Delivery (POD) 📝 (VLPOD: 685 + 107): After the goods are in transit, a POD is conducted, which records the stock as “In-Transit Stock” both at Plant 1000 and Plant 0001.
- Perform Goods Receipt 🏗️ (MIGO: 109): The goods are finally received at Plant 0001, where the in-transit stock is posted as received using movement type 109.
Scenario 3: Cross-Company Stock Transfer with Direct Receiving Plant Posting
- Perform Goods Issue 🚛 (VL02N: 683 + 107): The stock is issued from Plant 1000 and directly posted to In-Transit Stock for Plant 0001 using movement types 683 and 107.
- Perform Goods Receipt 🏗️ (MIGO: 109): The goods are received at Plant 0001 using movement type 109.
Additional Step for All Scenarios
- Create Billing Document and Invoice 💼: A billing document is created at Plant 1000 with reference to the outbound delivery, and an invoice is created (automatically or manually) at Plant 0001.
Movement Type Definitions:
- 681: Goods Issue for Stock Transfer (Cross-Company Code)
- 683: Goods Issue for Stock Transfer to Receiving Storage Location
- 685: Goods Receipt for Stock Transfer (Cross-Company Code)
- 101: Goods Receipt for Purchase Order
- 107: Transfer Posting (In-Transit to Plant Stock)
- 109: Goods Receipt from Valuated Goods Receipt Blocked Stock
This structured process ensures accurate tracking, management, and accounting of stock as it moves between plants across different company codes. It offers flexibility in handling various types of cross-company stock transfers based on specific business needs and accounting requirements.
