Goods in transit using 107 & 109 mvt types

Introduction

During project in case of import procurement, the buying entity takes the financial ownership of the goods at the vendor premises and is therefore liable to pay the vendor even though the goods have not yet physically arrived at the buyer’s location (plant/warehouse)

1) Customer requirement / objective

a) FI-post the goods into our books as soon as the goods ownership is transferred to buying entity based on the Incoterms (FCA – when goods leave the supplier)

b) but at the same time, keep the PO/inbound element for MRP open until the goods are really physically available

c) have an overall visibility on when the physical goods are available

Solution approach

Step1. Create the Inbound Delivery for the PO.

Step2. Receive the Stock in “Valuated GR blocked Stock in Transit”, with the help of Post Goods Movement App and movement Type 107.

-> This means the items are received and an accounting document is generated but the goods are not delivered to the receiving plant

-> And still open the Inbound, so not indicate available stock in MRP Planning.

-> Meanwhile MATDOC will have the accounting document, indicating the transfer of ownership.

Step3. Receive the Stock with the help of Post Goods Movement App and movement Type 109.

-> now indicate available stock in MRP Planning

-> Meanwhile MATDOC without accounting document.

1) Configuration / Pre- requisite

SSCUI ID: 102974 (Mvt type : 109)

Purchasing info-record for inbound

2) Walkthrough

Step1. Display stock

Step2.  PO Creation ( also can be created based on PR via MRP run)

App: Create Purchase order

Step3. Inbound creation ( it can be created via ASN)

App: Create inbound delivery

Step4. Post Goods receipt (Mvt type: 107)

App: Post Goods movement

FI Document is generated (financial ownership is transferred to buyer)

Step5. Stock overview

App: Display stock overview (mmbe) -> not available stock

MRP (Stock requirement list) still open PO as inbound delivery

Step6. Post Goods receipt (Mvt type: 109)

App: Post Goods movement

FI Document is not generated.

Benefit/ Impact

By movement type 107 have following impact on MM, FI and Invoice

FI MRP Planning Invoice 
During 107, Accounting document is generated With “In Transit” the stock remains in the MRP calculation Invoice available as per agreed term
Stock ownership is correctly transferred not available to use before movement 109

By Actual good receipts as movement type 109 have following impact

FI MRP Planning Invoice 
no accounting document is generated available to use stock no

      Very helpful document, thank you for sharing

      If I may ask a question.  How would the process flow change in the following scenario:  The plant for which the purchase order was created, is actually virtual.  The product will either be delivered to another (real) plant, or directly to a customer to fulfill their order.  The movement type 107 was to this virtual plant but now I would need to clear that

       

      Thanks

      Hi Sergio

      If I understand correctly, The process flow is the same only Good receipt 2times via 107/ 109.

      and this scenario not be involved any virtual plant code, during GR via 107 then stock type will be different as Rec.Val.SIT under the same plant code.

      Please refer to the attached screenshot as below.

      Hi Aehyun

       

      I am in Canada and we do order from places like Australia for example, where shipping can take at least 60 days but the vendor wants to be paid in 45 days.  Ownership is legally transferred to us when it leaves Australia and paperwork is sent.  So we record this transfer of ownership using movement type 107 into plant virtual plant.  Invoice is also provided and posted via LIV

      Screenshot

      Screenshot

      Receipt via 107 shows as On-Order Stock in our system (I may have something wrong there as it does not show as Stock in transit), and is correctly reflected on the balance sheet as an asset.

      I know that when the goods are physically available in Canada, I need to execute a 109 movement to move from restricted to unrestricted, but the goods may have actually been received at a plant 1000, an actual physical location.  Or the goods may have been shipped directly to a customer.  Should I assume that the 109 movement type must occur for plant 1560 and then a subsequent movement to reflect the receipt at plant 1000?  If it is delivered direct to a customer, do you see a different movement type scenario?

       

      Thanks

      Sergio

      Hi Sergio

      To make more clarify, I believe you are using SAP S/4HANA Cloud public edition.

      If you are using ECC then solution may slightly different.

      As assumption that you are using SAP S/4HANA Cloud,

      For the Mvt 107, 109 please refer to the above pre-requisite first as configuration and inbound creation needs to be involved.

      after all are is done, during 107 GR, please check whether account document is generated or not.

      and also still MRP (Stock requirement list) still open PO as inbound delivery as above.

      For direct delivery to customer, please refer to the 3rd party direct shipment SAP S/4HANA Best practice scope item.

      Thank you

      Hi Aehyun

       

      I ought to have mentioned that we are not yet on S4.  In fact we are at ECC 6.0.

       

      I do have the financial posting to inventory with the 107 movement type and I recognize that movement type 109 makes the product available from a logistic point of view.  I will review your suggested reference material

       

      Thanks again for taking the time to share you knowledge in this area.  it is very helpful

      When using 107/109 we are seeing that it affects the product moving average which has all sorts of implications. It not only potentially affects audit values but also when product is issued to packets the "new cost" is used.

      How do you manage this?

      We also activate the Origin Accept tick box in the PO delivery Tab. Is this required? I see from the Blog Article that it seems that this is managed via the Info Record

      Hi Simon

      Sorry for late replay.

      Yes you are right, as I wrote  Invoice available as per agreed term and goods ownership is transferred to buying entity based on the Incoterms (FCA – when goods leave the supplier).

      and regarding the origin accept tick in SAP S/4HANA Cloud is not required for Mvt 107/109.

      Thank you.
