MB1B - Two Step Stock Transfer

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

Am dng STO using 2 steps.

For E.g:

I transfer material "ABC" from Plant "Y" to plant "Z". After Dng mvt.type 303 and 305, in MB51 it shows

Mvt Type   Qty          Customer   Site

305            1                             AP11

303            1              AP11       AP11

303            1-              AP11       AP14

tot:             1

My doubt is , why the system is showing the middle value.? what is the logic behind this.....

plz explain.....

thx in adv.............

Dear mmBoy,

As far as Mvt type 303 is considered SAP will create two entries with Positive & Negative values.

Negative quantity for movement of goods from site to storage location & Positive is yet to be transferred from storage location to other site but logically it is putting the stock in transit.

In case of  Mvt type 305 it will show you Positive quantity as it is received by that site.

Hence if you will not mention site & storage location in MB51, it will show you total 3 entries.

2 lines for Mvt 303 & 1 line for Mvt 305 as you can see in you attachment & above posted scrrnshots.

I hope this may help you little bit.

With regards,

Dear Friend,

As my knowledge,.

1.303 movement type is used for removing the stock from storage location .

2.305 movement type is used  for replacing the stock into another storage location.

thanks,

Any Reply Gurus...........

[tejyadav]

Are you doing 305 w.r.t. 303 material document or directly creating 305 without nay linkage to 303 Doc, If there is no linkage of 303 & 305 the there is variance, Check

Hi,

Mvt Type   Qty          Customer   Site    Sloc

303            1                AP11       AP11               Plz explain what this line explaining?

As per my knowledge that line indicates that the stock has been posted to "stock in transit". You will not find the storage location as in the receiving plant you will find storage location but not for "stock in transit"

Dear Manish,

thanks for replying.

what the problem we are facing is, in

MB51  it is displaying

Mvt Type   Qty          Customer   Site      Sloc

305            1                                  AP11   0001

303            1              AP11         AP11

tot:            2

sometimes client are panic with this.....how to remove this line after 305.?

thx in adv...........

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please note the below:

Execute the report with both movement types 303 & 305.

If you execute MB51 report only with 303 then you will find two line items one with positive qty & another with negative qty as shown below.

Mvt Type   Qty          Customer   Site      Sloc

303            -1                                  AP11   0001

303            1              AP11         AP11

If you execute MB51 report only with 305 then you will NOT find two line items.

So note that you will never get any excess qty in this report even if you sum it. Check the screen shot below.

Other Points to note: If you still feel client is getting panic then create 2 variants which will give only 303 and 305 report separately

Hi

  303 will only remove the stock from sending plant, then it will be in transit.(stock in transit) till you do 305 for receiving plant.

  As you do 303 the stock will be in transit so its showing it for AP11.

[Former Member]

Hi Vikas,

we have did stock in also using 305.but still the intermediate value is showing.

thx in adv...........

[Former Member]

Hi,

The intermediate value line is against 303 movement type.

303 & 305 movement types are not inter linked so even if you do 305 it will not go from MB51 report.

Hi,

immediately after issuing stock from AP14 plant (loc 303), logically stock reduces in AP14 and sits in transit. so here bottom line showing negative qty bcz stock reduced in plant AP14. logically system should show equilent stock(which is actually in transit), so here system showing qty 1 with positive stock(indicates increases) in plant AP11.

even after doing receipt in AP11, MB51 shows all history of material movements.

i hope it clarifies

it has posted stock from stg. loc. to plant level and hence stock is in transfer.

It has posted 2 lines for 303, one for removal of stock from stg.loc of plant AP14 and second for receipt into Plant AP11 (without stog. loc).

Entry is similar to SIT with 351.

I hope it helps.

HI Dakshesh,

Thanks for ur reply.

can u plz explain me , what is removal of stock from storage location to plant?

(sorry for asking the basic ques)

thx in adv.............

[Former Member]

the general understanding of doing 2 step movement is to track the removal or issue from one location to receipt at another location.

And hence first step 303 is issuing the stock from first location (AP14) and as second step is yet to be performed but logically it is puting the stock in transit (SAP term for this mvt. is transfer).

And after that with your 305 it will post receipt into AP11 at stg. loc. and available for issue.

Hi,

When you use 303 movement type stock is taken from AP11 and the stock will be intransit.

If you check MB52 stock report it will be under "Stock in transit"

Check the screen shot.

When you do movement of 305 the stock will be moved to receiving plant AP14.

That is the reason when you do 303 movement type there will be a additional line item in MB51 against 303 but if you check storage location it will be blank.
