📦 SAP for Beginners: Tracking Stock in Transit with Fiori (MB5T)! 📦
Hey #SAPBeginners! Ever sent materials from one plant to another and wondered where they are in their journey? Knowing the status of stock in transit is vital for accurate inventory management and planning!
SAP S/4HANA, especially with its #SAPFiori apps, makes tracking this process super intuitive. One key app you'll use is "Display Stock in Transit."
Why is "Stock in Transit" Important?
When goods leave a supplying plant but haven't yet reached the receiving plant, they are considered "in transit." This stock is still owned by your company, but it's not yet available at the destination. Tracking it helps you:
Improve Visibility: Know where your inventory is at all times.
Enhance Planning: Accurately plan for incoming materials.
Prevent Delays: Proactively address any issues during transfer.
How to Check Stock in Transit (Using Fiori App):
Let's walk through a common way to check this using a Fiori app, which often leverages the MB5T functionality in the background:
Log On to Fiori: Start by logging onto your SAP Fiori launchpad as a Warehouse Clerk (or a role with similar inventory access). You'll see your Fiori homepage.
Access the App: Open the "Display Stock in Transit" Fiori app. You can usually find this by searching or Browse your Fiori tiles.
Enter Transfer Order Data:
On the app's screen, you'll need to enter some key details. For instance:
Material Number: (e.g., TG11) - The specific material you're tracking.
Receiving Plant: (e.g., 1010) - The plant where the goods are headed.
After entering the data, choose Execute (or the equivalent button in the Fiori app).
View Results:
The system will then display an overview of all stock transfer orders that are currently "in transit" for your specified material and receiving plant.
This list includes all materials that have been dispatched from the supplying plant but haven't yet been received and posted into stock at the receiving plant.
This straightforward process gives you crucial visibility into your supply chain, helping you manage your inventory more effectively.
