Objective
When transporting goods from a ship-from location to a ship-to location, the amount of goods is not reflected at either location in the key figure Projected Stock during the time periods the transport happens.
From a planner’s perspective, it is necessary to see the total product quantity in all periods, either at a location or corresponding to a transport.
To resolve this problem, SAP offers additional in-transit key figures that show the amount of inventory in transit.
The technical name of In-Transit Customer Receipts is INTRANSITCUSTOMER, and the key includes customer, product, and location.
The key figure In-Transit Customer Receipts describes in-transit quantities that are on their way from a location to a customer. It is an output key figure of the planning operator.
The only difference to INTRANSIT is the key structure. The numbers are the same, but are shifted by lead time.
The technical name for In-Transit Receipts is INTRANSIT, and the key includes product, location, and ship-from location.
The key figure In-Transit Receipts describes the in-transit quantities that are on their way from one location to another location (not the customer).
For transports between locations, the in-transit computation follows the same algorithm as for transports from locations to customers.
The technical name for In-Transit Supply is INTRANSITDS, and the key includes product, ship-to location, and location.
This key figure corresponds to the key figure In-Transit Receipts. This downstream key figure corresponds to the upstream key figure In-Transit Receipts. The only difference to INTRANSIT is the key structure; the numbers are the same.
