Solution

Ø  How to fix/clear stock in transit?

Ø  For fixing the stock in transit by means of MIGO / VL32N transaction, we should post a stock adjustment by using the movement types '557/558' to clear MARC-TRAME field in MIGO transaction.

Ø  It should be used to fix rounding issues.
If we cannot allocate this cost to any cost center, please go to OMJJ transaction and set cost center field (KOSTL) as 'optional entry' to the affected movement type.

Ø  This option is not valid for Stock Transfer Order-cross-company scenario.

Ø  If the material is split valuated, the system will issue the message M7048. To work around this, you can temporarily deactivate the error by entering ' ' (blank) for this message in the customizing transaction OMCQ .
