Hi

There is a standard sap solution.
Do the goods receipt with movement type 107 instead of the 101 via transaction mn5oa you can see the so called "transits"when the goods arrive do another goods receipt on the same Po with movement type 109.

The goods are now Physically in your warehouse.

Subject: How is 'in transit' inventory handled in standard SAP?

The business scenario is: US company buy goods from Asia (can be different ports etc.)the terms are that ownership of the goods are at port so goods are in transit on ship and/or otherwise until they arrive in the US warehouse (several weeks).

Question: How is the 'in transit' inventory captured in standard SAP?
A) Use of GR into block stock in US plant.
B) Use of storage location within US plant to capture 'in transit' stock.
C) Setup a separate plant for the in transit inventory then GR at port and use stock transfer from port plant to US plant.
D) In transit inventory is not reflected in MM other than by the invoice receipt, no need for MM inventory.
E) none of the above, please advice

Please advice which would be the right standard SAP solution.Thanks
