  Change of stratum is a process in SAP Inventory Management (MM-IM) that allows you to move goods from one storage location to another. This process is used when goods need to be moved from one storage location to another due to a change in the storage conditions, such as temperature or humidity. The change of stratum process also allows you to move goods from one storage bin to another within the same storage location.
