You do not create a sales order between MFG plant and Depot plant.

The stock t ransport order serves this function. SO on depot plant MRP on depot plant Shortage in depot plant causes Stock Transport order PurReq to be generated, whi ch points the requirements to the manufacturing plant Requirement from STO PurReq now exists in Manuf plant MRP runs in Manuf plant Shortage in Manuf plant caused PlnOrd to be created, with demand on its componen ts blah blah Planned order eventully converted into Prod order and received into Manuf plant stock. STO PurReq is converted to a STO Outbound Delivery created for STO Manuf stock PGI'd to STO outbound delivery Eventually, material reaches the Depot plant, and STO is GR into Depot plant sto ck Delivery is created for the Sales Order SO Delivery is PGI'd SO invoiced

Before doing this function the Material must be maintained i n both supplying and receiving plants. And in sales organization data 1 screen t he delivering plant must be maintained. This process has the following stages. Creation of stock transport order (STO) at receiving plant (T code u2013 ME21N) Transfer posting of Material to Material (T Code MB1B) Creation of Replenishment order (Outbound delivery order) at Supplying plant wit h reference to the Stock transport order(STO) (T code u2013 VL10B) Changing of the Replenishment order delivery .i.e. Goods issue at supplying plan t (T code u2013 VL02N) Goods Receipt at receiving plant (T Code MIGO) This is one of the process.

The excise clerk there creates an excise invoice.The excise supervisor verifies and posts t he excise invoice.It then sends the goods to you, together with the excise invoi ce. Once the goods arrive, you follow the standard procedure for incoming excise inv oices: The excise clerk captures the excise invoice, using the stock transport order as the reference document. The storeperson enters the goods receipt, again using t he stock transport order as the reference document.Alternatively, you can first enter the goods receipt and then capture the excise invoice. The excise supervisor then posts the excise invoice.

->Extras--> Add.Pur.data 3) OLME->PO-> Set up STO------>For your supplying plant assign document type NB, Delivery type NLCC and Checking Rule RP 4)then For your supplying Plant and receiving Plant assign Document type NB 5)Make sure you are maintaining Sales View for the material at supplying Plant a nd in Sales /Gen plant Data view maintain Availability check, Loading group and Transportation group. 6) In SPRo-->Logistics execution> Shipping->Basic shipping functions->Shipping p oint Determination>assign shipping points-> For your Loading group, Shipping Con dition and Supplying plant combination, Assign shipping point these are the configuration settings you have to do in background. Then Create STO from Receiving Plant in ME21N with document type NB. Based on that STO, Create Delivery in VL10B from supplying Plant Do PGI in VL02N from Supplying plant Do GR in MIGO at Receiving Plant keeping Outbound delivery as a ref. document.

Example: Lets assume stock is moving from Plant A (Storage Location 0001) to Pla nt B (storage location 0002). Two step means that two transactions will be used to move the stock. After the f irst transaction, stock has left plant A but it is not yet available at Plant B.

Only after the second transaction is it available for use in Plant B.

How do you create a STO? by: Jupalli Samatha The following steps have to be followed in order to configure stock transport or der between two plants. 1. Create a vendor for the Company code of the receiving plant using account gro up 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 det ermine the route in the STO. 5. In the pricing procedure determination relevant to the STO assign document pr

icing 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 are a (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 mas ter data creation. Stock transfer between two plants in different company codes is known as inter c ompany 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 sal es 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.
