Loss in intransit for Import POs

[Former Member]

Hi,

   How to handle this scenarion in SAP..?

We have received the material against a Import PO in Port.The inco term is FOB.

We have inbound delivery process for Import POs.

While transfeering the material from Port to Our plant location theere is some intransit loss in qty.

Now...we need to pay for the complete qty ( Recd at port) to the import vendor .

The plant will do GRN only for the recd qty which will be less than the qty recd at port.

Where to act for this intransit loss qty is a question..

If this is a regular occurrence and hence need a permanent solution, then you can think of creating a PO receipt screen in which the Plant logistics will enter the actual received quantity and the PO number. Then the program will check if there is any difference between PO quantity and the entered quantity, in case of difference, then it will post a 101 for PO quantity and then immediately will post a 551 for the difference quantity. In case you want to transfer the liability of the loss to the freight agent then you can create a new movement type as a copy of 551 and use the account postings to post a debit against the freight agent.

When there is a damage to stock during transit, you will have to receive the stock and then post it to Scrapping using Mvt Type 551 in your receiving plant. This is because the stock is not actually available in either of the plants and for you to cancel or post any other document, the stock should be actually under the storage location level. So receive the material in your receiving plant and then post it to scrapping.

Hi Manoj,

   This is not STO process.

I am talking about the Import procurement process.

Once we remove the material from customs it comes in our ownership.

But when we do GRN at plant location we observe some loss in the qty received.

In either case, if the material is not physically available in your location how do you expect to pay the vendor? It has to be recieved and then posted using 551 with a specific account if needed.
