This document provides a detailed explanation of Stock Transfers with Valuated Stock in Transit (SIT) in SAP, focusing on how it allows for precise control over the transfer of title during stock movements.
Key Concepts mentioned in the document:
- Valuated Stock in Transit: This functionality allows businesses to track inventory that is in transit between plants, with the ability to define the exact point at which the ownership (title) of the goods transfers. This can be at goods issue, goods receipt, or during transit.
- Traditional Stock Transfers: In standard SAP stock transfers, the title transfer typically occurs at the goods issue, even if the goods haven’t physically arrived at the receiving plant.
- Business Function LOG_MM_SIT: This business function needs to be activated to use the Valuated Stock in Transit functionality.
- Schedule Line Categories: SAP provides specific schedule line categories (e.g., N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6) that define the transfer of title point for both cross-company and intra-company stock transfers and returns.
- Movement Types: Specific movement types (e.g., 68A, 68I, 683, 691, 695, 109, 169) are used in conjunction with the schedule line categories to control the stock postings.
