Hi Sreeni,
Please refer to SAP Note 392205..
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

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.
