What is Stock Transfer Order

What is Stock Transfer Order? What are the IMG configurations? How do you create a STO?

by: Jupalli Samatha

The following steps have to be followed in order to configure stock transport order between two plants.

1. Create a vendor for the Company code of the receiving plant using account group 0007 via T-Code XK01. 2. In the purchasing data view assign the supplying plant and the schema group. 3. Create customer with the sales area of the vendor.  4. The shipping conditions, the delivering plant and the transportation zone determine the route in the STO. 5. In the pricing procedure determination relevant to the STO assign document pricing procedure and customer pricing procedure to get the pricing in the invoice. 6. Maintain condition records for pricing condition. 7. Maintain carrier as a partner in the customer master. 8. In OMGN select the supplying plant and assign the company code and sales area. Similarly select the receiving plant and assign the company code and sales area (The company code to which the plant is assigned to). 9. Assign the delivery type and checking rule to the document type.  10. And finally, assign the purchasing document type to the supplying plant and the receiving plant. 11. Create the STO using T-Code ME 21N and save. 12. Check for release strategy if any and release using T-Code ME 28. 13. Create delivery in background using VL10G. 14. If delivery is created, it is an indication of correct configuration and master data creation.

Stock transfer between two plants in different company codes is known as inter company stock transfer. 1. Material should be maintained in both supplying and receiving plant MM01 2. Stock should maintain only in supplying plant MB1C 3. Create receiving plant as a customer in supplying plants company code and sales area XD01 4. Assign this customer number in receiving plant details OMGN 5. Assign supplying sales area in supplying plant details OMGN 6. Assign delivery type NB for in combination of supplying/ receiving plants.

Create STO ME21N As it is normal there in the item details were should get shipping date i.e. customer number

Stock Transfer Using Stock Transport Order 

Use

A number of procedures are available to enable you to transfer materials from one plant to another:

Stock Transfer Between Plants in One Step Stock Transfer Between Plants in Two Steps

Stock Transport Order Without Delivery

Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping

Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice

Features

Advantages of the Stock Transport Order

The transfer of stock using a stock transport order has the following advantages over the transfer of stock without a stock transport order:

A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant. You can enter a vendor (transport vendor) in the stock transport order.

Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order.

The stock transfer order is part of MRP: Purchase requisitions that were created in MRP can be converted into stock transport orders.

The goods issue can be entered using a delivery via Shipping (LE-SHP).

Page 3: Stock Transfer process in sap

The goods receipt can be posted directly to consumption.

The entire process can be monitored via the purchase order history.

Activities

Goods Issue in Inventory Management or in Shipping

You can enter a goods issue for the stock transport order in either Inventory Management (MM-IM) or Shipping (LE-SHP). For goods issues in Shipping, a replenishment delivery is created (see also Posting Goods Issue in Shipping).

Prerequisites for Goods Issues in Shipping:

To process the goods issue via Shipping, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled (see also Goods Movements via Shipping):

Page 4: Stock Transfer process in sap

In Customizing for Purchasing, a delivery type must be assigned to the purchasing document type. If the document type does not have a delivery type, you can post the goods issue only in Inventory Management.

The customer number of the receiving plant must also be maintained in Customizing for Purchasing.

In the Customizing system of Sales & Distribution, the shipping point determination must be maintained.

In the material master record, shipping data must be maintained.

If the document type contains a delivery type but another requirement is missing (for example, shipping data), you receive either a warning message or an error message (depending on the system configuration) when you try to enter the stock transport order.

If you receive a warning message, you can create the stock transport order, but you can post the goods issue for this item only in Inventory Management.

Stock Transfer Using the Stock Determination Function

If you want to withdraw material for stock transfers from various storage locations and stocks according to a particular strategy, the R/3 System can support you using Stock Determination.

Stock Determination 

Use

Stock determination enables you to implement various strategies to withdraw material for goods issues and stock transfers. You configure these strategies in Customizing. Based on the material requirements entered, the R/3 system determines how and when the material should be withdrawn, and from which storage locations and stocks.

When planning your materials requirements, it is not always important that you define the stocks and storage locations from which the materials are later to be withdrawn. Automatic stock determination takes care of this decision for you, thus preventing you from defining these parameters too early and restricting your business processses unnecessarily. The R/3 system does not determine the values you require until the goods movement is posted.

Based on the stock determination strategy you predefine, the system makes decisions on material withdrawal depending on the material, plant, and the business process.

You can use stock determination for the following stocks:

unrestricted-use stock vendor consignment stock (K)

pipeline material (P)

sales order stock (E)

project stock (Q)

Page 5: Stock Transfer process in sap

Scenario 1:

The backflushing of material in repetitive manufacturing or for a production order should be carried out for a company’s own stock first of all and then for vendor consignment stock. The most reasonable vendor’s stock should be used first.

Scenario 2:

There is always a preferred vendor for all forms of material withdrawal. Material should be withdrawn from this vendor’s stock first. If there are several preferred vendors, you can use split valuation for price and quantity.

Scenario 3:

When staging material for production, you should firstly withdraw from a central buffer store a particular component manufactured in-house. When this store is empty, you should be able to withdraw the components from the issue storage location.

Scenario 4:

If you cannot cover the requirements from the stocks on-hand, you should withdraw the remaining quantity from the pipeline supply.

Integration

Stock determination functions are of significance to the integration of the R/3 System as a whole, and can be used in several R/3 application components. You can use stock determination in the following application components:

MM – IM (Inventory Management) LE – WM (Warehouse Management)

PP – SFC (Production Orders)

PP – REM (Repetitive Manufacturing)

PP – KAB (Kanban)

LO – BM (Batch Management)

SD (Sales and Distribution)

In Customizing, you can define how stock determination interacts with the settings of the Warehouse Management System and Batch Determination.

Prerequisites

In order to work with stock determination, you must configure the following:

Page 6: Stock Transfer process in sap

In Customizing for Inventory Management, you define a cross-application strategy for stock determination, according to which stocks should be reduced. Each strategy is determined at plant level based on a stock determination group and stock determination rule.

You assign a stock determination group to the material in the material master record.

In Customizing for the application you are using, assign a stock determination rule to the business transaction/event.

Activities

The R/3 System can carry out stock determination in two ways:

automatically in the background

Using this procedure, you do not have any way of intervening in the stock determination process as processing only takes place in the background. It is entirely up to the R/3 System to determine the stock from which materials are withdrawn and posted.

via online processing during the stock determination process

If you have configured online processing in Customizing, you can have the R/3 System display the result of stock determination in a dialog box and you can change the result manually.

If the stock determination procedure did not remove materials from the stock you requested, you can only cancel this posting via a reverse posting in the application you are using.

You should always prepare each strategy thoroughly and configure and test the application components extensively before you start using them.

 

Stock Transfer Between Plants in One Step 

Use

This type of stock transfer can only be carried out in Inventory Management. Neither Shipping in the issuing plant nor Purchasing in the receiving plant is involved in the process.

Transferring stock in one step has the following characteristics:

The stock transfer is entered as a transfer posting in Inventory Management. The transfer posting can be planned by creating a reservation.

The quantity of the stock transferred is posted immediately from the unrestricted-use stock of the issuing plant to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant

The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant.

Page 7: Stock Transfer process in sap

If the plants involved belong to different company codes, the transfer between plants is also a transfer between company codes. In this case, the system creates two accounting documents for the transfer posting. The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.

 

Stock Transfer Between Plants in Two Steps 

Use

This type of stock transfer can only be carried out in Inventory Management. Neither Shipping in the issuing plant nor Purchasing in the receiving plant is involved in the process.

The stock transfer includes the following processes:

1. A goods issue in the issuing plant2. A goods receipt in the receiving plant

Transferring stock in two steps has the following characteristics:

The transfer posting cannot be planned by creating a reservation. The quantity posted from stock is first of all managed as stock in transfer in the receiving plant.

Only once the goods receipt has been posted is the quantity posted to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant.

This enables the quantity "on the road" to be monitored.

The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant. If the plants involved belong to different company codes, the transfer between plants is also a

transfer between company codes. In this case, the system creates two accounting documents when the goods issue is posted. The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.

 

 

Stock Transport Order Without Delivery 

Purpose

This type of stock transfer not only involves Inventory Management but Purchasing in the receiving plant. The goods issue posting in Inventory Management is carried out without the involvement of SD.

Characteristics of a Stock Transfer Order

The quantity posted from stock is first of all managed as stock in transit of the receiving plant. Only once the goods receipt has been posted is the quantity posted to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant.

Page 8: Stock Transfer process in sap

This enables the quantity "on the road" to be monitored.

Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order. The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant.

If the plants involved belong to different company codes, the transfer between plants is also a transfer between company codes. In this case, the system creates two accounting documents when the goods issue is posted. The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.

Process Flow

1. Creating a stock transport order in the receiving plant

Plant A would like to order materials from plant B. Plant A enters a stock transfer order. The stock transfer is used to plan the movement.

2. Posting a goods issue in the issuing plant

Plant B supplies the goods to plant A. Plant B enters the goods issue for the stock transfer order. The goods are then posted to the stock in transit of the receiving plant.

3. Posting a goods receipt in the receiving plant

Once the goods arrive in the receiving plant, the plant posts the goods receipt. The stock in transit is therefore reduced and the unrestricted-use stock increased.

The goods receipt is entered with reference to the purchase order.

Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping 

Purpose

The following components are involved in this type of stock transfer:

Purchasing (MM-PUR) in entering the order Shipping (LE-SHP) in making the delivery from the issuing plant

Inventory Management (MM-IM) at goods receipt in the receiving plant

Characteristics of a Stock Transfer Order

The quantity posted from stock is first of all managed as stock in transit of the receiving plant. Only once the goods receipt has been posted is the quantity posted to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant.

This enables the quantity "on the road" to be monitored.

Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order. The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant.

Page 9: Stock Transfer process in sap

If the plants involved belong to different company codes, the transfer between plants is also a transfer between company codes. In this case, the system creates two accounting documents when the goods issue is posted. The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.

Process Flow

1. Creating a stock transport order in the receiving plant

Plant A would like to order materials from plant B. Plant A enters a stock transfer order. The stock transfer is used to plan the movement.

2. Posting a delivery in the issuing plant

Plant B supplies the goods to plant A. Plant B enters a replenishment delivery in Shipping. The goods are then posted to the stock in transit of the receiving plant.

3. Posting a goods receipt in the receiving plant

Once the goods arrive in the receiving plant, the plant posts a goods receipt for the delivery. The stock in transit is therefore reduced and the unrestricted-use stock increased.

Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice 

Purpose

With this type of stock transfer, the transfer posting is not valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant, but is defined in both the issuing and receiving plants using conditions.

Stock transfers that include deliveries and billing documents/invoices are only possible between plants belonging to different company codes.If you want to carry out a cross-company-code stock transport order with delivery but without a billing document, you must set the Relevant for Billing (data element FKREL) indicator in Customizing of the item type to "blank" (Not relevant for billing).

The following applications are involved in this type of stock transfer:

Purchasing (MM-PUR) in entering the order Shipping (LE-SHP) in making the delivery from the issuing plant

Billing (SD-BIL) in creating the billing document for the delivery

Inventory Management (MM-IM) at goods receipt in the receiving plant

Invoice Verification (MM-IV) at invoice receipt in the receiving plant

Page 10: Stock Transfer process in sap

Characteristics of a Stock Transfer Order

The quantity posted from the stock of the issuing plant is managed neither in the issuing plant nor in the receiving plant. The quantity is first posted to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant in the goods receipt posting. After the goods issue has been posted, the stock overview displays the quantity transferred as Stock in trans. CC. This stock is determined dynamically for stock balance display.

With this transfer posting, price determination is carried out in both Purchasing and Sales & Distribution (SD).

o In Purchasing, the price of the material in question is determined in the usual manner (from the info record, for example).

o In SD, pricing is also carried out as normal during the billing process.

The goods movements are valuated at the price determined in each case.

Accounting documents are created for the following transactions:

o Goods issue

o Goods receipt

o Billing

o Invoice receipt

Stock Transport Order with Valuated and Non-Valuated Sales Order Stock

When entering goods issues for cross-company-code stock transport orders, you can work with both valuated and non-valuated sales order stock (E) using the one-step procedure (movement type 645) and the two-step procedure (movement type 643). In the MRP view of the material master record (MRP 4) you determine the stock from which material is to be withdrawn by selecting the Dependent requirements indicator for individual and collective requirements. There are three options:

Indicator set to Blank (individual and collective requirements): Material is removed from sales order stock

Indicator set to 1 (individual requirements only): Material is removed from sales order stock

Indicator set to 2 (collective requirements only): Material is removed from unrestricted-use standard stock

Process Flow

1. Creating a stock transport order in the receiving plant

Purchasing also determines the price for the materials.

2. Posting a delivery in the issuing plant

Page 11: Stock Transfer process in sap

The issuing plant enters a replenishment delivery in Sales and Distribution. Unlike a stock transfer without a billing document, no stock in transit is created.

3. Creating a billing document in the issuing plant

The issuing plant creates the billing document for the delivery. SD also determines the price for the delivery

4. Posting a goods receipt in the receiving plant

The receiving plant posts a goods receipt for the delivery. The goods are posted to unrestricted-use stock

5. Posting an invoice in the receiving plant

The invoice referring to the billing document is entered in the receiving plant.

Cross-Company Stock Transfer 

Purpose

In Materials Management – Inventory Management, you can transfer goods between different company codes. You can perform these stock transfers as one-step stock transfers (material movement in a single step) or as two-step stock transfers (material movement in two steps). You can also use the purchasing and distribution functions (that is, stock transport orders). In the following process, only one-step and two-step stock transfers are explained. In the case of a one-step stock transfer, the goods are issued and received in a single transaction; in the case of a two-step stock transfer, you enter the goods issue and then the goods receipt. If the valuation procedures and delivery prices are different in the two plants, the receiving plant bears all the costs and value differences that occur.

Use

Even when the plants involved in a stock transfer belong to different company codes, you can use conventional methods to transfer the stock:

By transferring the stock between plants in one or two steps By carrying out a stock transport order without the delivery function via Shipping

By carrying out a stock transport order with the delivery function via Shipping

In these cases, the value of the transfer posting is posted to a company code clearing account in both the issuing and the receiving plants. The stock transfer is posted at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant.

Features

Stock Transport Order with Delivery Via Shipping and Billing Document/Invoice

Page 12: Stock Transfer process in sap

You can carry out stock transfers with the delivery and billing function. In this procedure, the stock is transferred in the form of a sale between two plants.

Stock transfers that include deliveries and billing documents/invoices are only possible between plants belonging to different company codes.If you want to carry out a cross-company-code stock transport order with delivery but without a billing document, you must set the Relevant for Billing (data element FKREL) indicator in Customizing of the item type to "blank" (Not relevant for billing).

When you use the delivery function in Shipping, the whole transaction - from the delivery through billing and invoice verification - is reflected in the system. The following Shipping functions are available for this:

Delivery:

For example, planning shipping activities, picking, packing

Billing:

For example, price determination

Before you can use a stock transport order with the delivery function and a billing document, the plant must be assigned to a vendor. You maintain the vendor - plant assignment in the vendor master record.

If a user enters a vendor when creating a stock transport order, the plant is automatically copied from the vendor master record.

A stock transport order with delivery and billing is a mixture of a standard purchase order and a stock transport order: as in the standard purchase order, when items are entered (standard items with no item category) price determination is carried out and shipping data established; as in the stock transport order, the transfer of stocks from one location to another is monitored.

Stock Transport Order with Valuated and Non-Valuated Sales Order Stock

When entering goods issues for cross-company-code stock transport orders, you can work with both valuated and non-valuated sales order stock (E) using the one-step procedure (movement type 645) and the two-step procedure (movement type 643). In the MRP view of the material master record (MRP 4) you define from which stock material is to be withdrawn by selecting the Dependent requirements indicator for individual and collective requirements. There are three options:

Indicator set to Blank (individual and collective requirements): material is removed from sales order stock

Indicator set to 1 (individual requirements only): material is removed from sales order stock

Indicator set to 2 (collective requirements only): material is removed from unrestricted-use standard stock

Prices

Page 13: Stock Transfer process in sap

In Purchasing, the price of the material in question is determined in the usual manner (from the info record, for example).

In SD, pricing is also carried out as normal during the billing process.

Your company has to maintain settings in the Customizing system determining whether stock transfers between two plants should be with or without billing.

You can also determine whether individual users can carry out stock transfers, for example, with or without billing or in either of the two ways.

If you choose Purchase Order Create Stock Transfer (i.e. a stock transport order without billing) and stock transfer with billing has been defined for the plants in Customizing, a message appears indicating that you should create a standard purchase order.

Difference for Stock Transfer and Transfer Posting

Questions: Tell me the difference between transfer postings and stock transfers.  What are the material documents that are generated and what are the accounts hits.

Stock Transfer = physically stock transfer of goods, Trasfer posting = may physical (or) logical (not physical) stock transfer of goods.

Transfer posting and stock transfer: Transfer posting : plant to plant/ Storage location to Storage Location. In which if the valuation area is same. i.e.  - Sloc to Sloc within one plant then there will be no accounting entry occurs.  - However if the its Sloc to Sloc but with two different plant. and valuation area+valuation price is diff then there will accounting doc and material doc created for the same. 

Stock Transfer: There are unrestricted stock, quality inspection stock, blocked stock.   Also you can have GR Blocked stock, special stock too.  It will update the quantity.                                            *-- Madhura k

Stock Tranfer and Transfer Posting - Importances are same up to Plant to Plant . However Customer ( Client ) Prefer Stock Transfer than Transfer Posting. 

Page 17: Stock Transfer process in sap

See the Below Advantages of Stock Transfer more than Transfer Postings : The transfer of stock using a stock transport order has the following advantages over the transfer of stock without a stock transport order: - A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant.  - You can enter a vendor (transport vendor) in the stock transport order.  - Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order.  - The stock transfer order is part of MRP: Purchase requisitions that were created in MRP can be converted into stock transport orders.  - The goods issue can be entered using a delivery via Shipping (LE-SHP  - The goods receipt can be posted directly to consumption.  - The entire process can be monitored via the purchase order history.  However we need to do some times Plant to Plant Trasfer Postings only in some industires. This is based on Customer Requirement.                                                                       *-- Pavan G Kulkarni

SAP ECC6 : Setting up Stock Transport Order (STO)Business Requirement:Stock needs to be transferred from one storage location to another. Both storage locations are in the same plant.

Solution: To configure “Stock Transport Order” between two storage locations.

Benefits:

Freight costs can be planned and mentioned before hand in the order itself. Freight invoice can be posted with reference to this order.

The order can be integrated with MRP.

A receipt can be planned at the receiving storage location.

The received material can be posted to quality inspection stock / blocked stock.

The entire process can be monitored via the order history.

Steps for configuration:Step 1: Activate Stock Transfer between Storage LocationsStep 2: Assign Delivery Type and checking rule according to storageStep 3: Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfer between Storage LocationsStep 4: Define Rule for Determination off Shipping PointStep 5: Shipping Point Assignment According to Storage LocationStep 6: Maintain the Material for Both the Storage Locations

STOCK TRANSFER ORDERFollow STO Process for this;

1.Create a vendor for the company code of receiving plant, using account group :0007 using T-Code XK01.

2. Assign this vendor to Delivering plantGo to XK02 >Purchasing view>Extras>Add. Purchasing data>Plant

3. Create internal customer with the sales area of the vendor. Go To XD01

4. In Pricing procedure determination relevant to STO, assign document Pricing Procedure and customer pricing procedure appropriate for STO to get the pricing in the invoice.

5. Maintain condition records for the relevant pricing condition.

6. Some more setting for STO: Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Receiving plant >assign customer here & Supplying SA (for billing) to Receiving plant here

7. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to

Page 20: Stock Transfer process in sap

Supplying plant and assign the sales area of receiving plant.

8. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > assign delivery Type & Checking rule

Assign the delivery type to document type. In this case, Delivery type NLCC is assigned to Document type NB

9. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > Assign document Type, One step Procedure, Under delivery tolerance

Assign the document type NB to supplying plant and receiving plant
