Symptom

You cannot complete a store returns process with stock in transit (SiT) that starts and ends in storage
locations that are managed by handling units (HUs), a decentralized Warehouse Management System, or
SAP EWM.

Other Terms

LIPS-HUPOS, SERAIL, SITKZ=R, HUM, decentral Warehouse Management System, EWM, STO, Stock
Transport Order, R3, R6, TM, Material Ledger, CKM3

Reason and Prerequisites

Missing functionality

If you want to use this functionality, you must implement note 2735284. In addition, we recommend that you
implement method MOVEMENT_IS_RETURN in BAdI CKML_UPDATE to adjust the material ledger so it
posts movement types 691 as negative consumption and 692 as respective cancellation.

Solution

Implement the attached correction instruction and make sure that all manual activities are completed to
activate this new SIT rSTO functionality. Then, you can proceed with the Cross-Company (CC) and Intra-
Company (IC) 3-step enhanced store returns (based on a Returns Stock Transport Order, rSTO) process
with Stock in Transit (SiT) as follows:

Cross-Company Process Flow (R7):

1. Create a CC rSTO using transaction ME21N with the new purchase order (PO) type NBC7. The
returns item flag (EKPO-RETPO) must be set and also the confirmation control key.
2. Use transaction VL10B to create a returns outbound delivery with reference to this rSTO (delivery type
NCR7).
3. Perform all delivery related tasks (packing, WM-internal activities, serial numbers, batches, and so on)
and then, post goods issue (Movement type: BWART = 169).
4. Once you've posted goods issue, the delivery output SPED creates a returns inbound delivery (ECR7)
in the background. According to output settings, this may happen instantly or at a later point in time
once a respective scheduled job initiates SPED processing. For details, see note 1095322.
5. Post the proof of delivery with transaction VLPOD for the returns outbound delivery (BWART =
695/167).
6. Perform all inbound delivery related tasks (packing, WM-internal activities, serial numbers, batches,

and so on) and then, post goods receipt (Movement type: BWART = 691).
7. Create the intercompany credit memo using transaction VF01 and with the billing type IG2.

Intra-Company Process Flow (R8):

1. Create an IC rSTO using transaction ME21N with the new PO type NBR8. The returns item flag
(EKPO-RETPO) must be set and also the confirmation control key.
2. Use transaction VL10B to create a returns outbound delivery with reference to this rSTO (delivery type
NLR8).
3. Perform all delivery related tasks (packing, WM-internal activities, serial numbers, batches, and so on)
and then, post goods issue (Movement type: BWART = 169).
4. Once you've posted goods issue, the delivery output SPED creates a returns inbound delivery (ELR8).
According to output settings, this may happen instantly or at a later point in time once a respective
scheduled job initiates SPED processing. For details, see note 1095322.
5. Post the proof of delivery with transaction VLPOD for the returns outbound delivery (BWART = 69E).
6. Perform all inbound delivery related tasks (packing, WM-internal activities, serial numbers, batches,
and so on) and then, post goods receipt (BWART = 69A).

Restrictions

• This new rSTO with SiT process does not work with the GR-Based Invoice Verification indicator in PO.
• If you are using handling units, the serial number profile must allow the delivery assignment of serial
numbers in the receiving plant (Transaction OIS2-> Procedure SDLS: 02 or 03).
• The restrictions for N3/N6 processes in note 1822497 still apply (for example, no handling of
differences, ARM, X-HUs, and so on).

To enable the new enhanced STO (rSTO) via Stock in Transit (SiT) processes the following
customizing adjustments are needed:

1. Make sure all view changes of manual pre-steps are completed

© 2023 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved 3 of 7

2023-03-30 2725636
2. Download the zip file LE_SIT_RSTO_PROCESSES.ZIP attached to this note to a local folder
and unpack the included LE_SIT_RSTO_PROCESSES.BCS.

3. Use transaction SCPR3 to create a new BC Set via Menu-> BC Set-> Upload using the file
from your local folder (LE_SIT_RSTO_PROCESSES.BCS)

4. Confirm all pop-ups and save the new BC Set LE_SIT_RSTO_PROCESSES in package VL0C

5. Use transaction SCPR20 and activate LE_SIT_RSTO_PROCESSES (F7) to get the initial
customizing settings for the new SIT rSTO scenarios. Should an error occur related to table
T184L during first activation you have to try it another time (error is related to a
sequence issue we could not solve), but during second activation no error should come up
anymore.

6. This will generate entries in the following views and tables: (SM31)

• V_T161V_WF

• VVC_T161_VF

• V_T163D

• V_T184L

• V_TVAP

• V_TVLK

• V_TVLK_NAC

• V_TVLP

• V_TVEPZ

• V_TVEP

• V_TVLP_POD

• V_TVLK_NAC

• V_TVCPLA

• TVPT

• TVAPT

• TVCPL

• TVCPF

7. Adjust initial customizing (SPRO) manually:

• Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Purchase Order-> Returns Order-> Store Return /

Return Plant to Plant: Copy the new Delivery Type entries to all relevant Supplying
Plants and finally save changes

• Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Confirmations-> Define Internal Confirmation

Categories: (Make sure second entry looks like this): Int. Conf. Cat.: 2, Confirm.
Cat.: LA, Delivery Type: EL, Ret. Del. Vis.: X, DlTy.Intra Ret.: ELR, DlTy.Cross
Ret.: ECR, Del. Type SiT: ELST, SIT IC Ret.Dty.: ELR8, SIT CC Ret.Dty.: ECR7; in case
of anything missing finally save changes

• Use transaction VV21 and add entries for output type SPED: Del. type: NCR7, Partner
Function: SH; Del. type: NLR8, Partner Function: SH and finally save changes
