Problem Statement:

The issue is that when businesses transfer intra company stock, some stocks has
been stolen or damaged in In-Transit and that stock shows in the system under
In-Transit report (MB5T). After sometimes such type of stock increases gradually
and once upon a time it has a huge value stand in the system. Mostly businesses
transfer the stock to a specific storage location and they either scrapped or issue
to a cost center that stolen or damaged stock from that storage location.

Solution:

To directly scrapped/remove stolen/damaged stock, there is a standard

movement type – 557 (GI adjustment in transit). By transaction MB1A, you can
adjust stolen/damaged stock and removed from the In-Transit stock. Let’s say,
662.5 LB stock is stolen or damaged. Now execute the transaction MB1A and
adjust the stock 662.5 LB by using movement type-557.

To Conclude:

After successfully document posted, check the stock in MB52 or MMBE. The
balance stock will be shown after adjustment of stock in movement type-557.
Now business can receive the actual stock from In-Transit and complete the stock
transfer transaction.

There are some important points to be taken care while using movement type 557. They are

Recommended transaction is MIGO and not MB11 to take care of batch determination
Intended for clearing "rounding differences" and not for clearing inconsistencies in stock in transit
In table T156, for BWART showing 557 & 558, BUSTR should be 557 even for movement type 558
For other stock in transit related issues, have a look at OSS note 1618453
