This article provides configuration steps for stock transport order between two plants within the company
code as well as cross company code configuration.
Configuration Steps
1. STO Document Type
Standard document type used in UB. If user selects different document type, system gives a warning
message to select the correct document type.
If custom document type needs to be used then it should be defined as T -- Transport in the Control field
of that document type configuration.
Configuration Path: IMG- Material Management- Purchasing-Purchase Order-Define Document Types.
Item Number Interval: Determines the size of the steps between the default item numbers.
Number range in the case of internal number assignment: Number that determines how documents are to be numbered
by the system. It indicates which number range is relevant for a document type.
Number range in the case of external number assignment: Number that determines how documents are to be numbered
by the user. It indicates which number range is relevant for a document type.
Number range in case of internal number assignment for ALE: This number range is only to be maintained in the case
of contract types that are distributed among local systems.
Number range in case of internal number assignment for ALE: This number range is only to be maintained in the case
of contract types that are distributed among local systems.
Update group for statistics update: The update group is a control element in the updating definition, which allows all the
different business events in the various applications to have a uniform influence on the statistics update in the Logistics
Information System (LIS).
Field Selection Key: Determines, for the relevant purchasing document type, which attributes the fields of the purchasing
document are to have.
Control indicator for purchasing document type: Allows differentiation between the various kinds of purchasing
document.
Item Number Interval for Subitems: Indicates the interval in which sub-item numbers are suggested.
Stock transfer: Take vendor data into account
You set the indicator. If a stock transport order or scheduling agreement is then created and a vendor is
assigned to the supplying plant, the system
adopts the data from the vendor master record (e.g. the currency, price determination indicator) and
the info record (e.g. planned delivery time, order unit), and
updates the statistics of the Logistics Information System with the vendor data
Document type: Stored documents are classified according to document types.
Other configuration for the STO document type is to assign allowed item categories and account assignment
categories. Item category code for stock transport orders is U Stock transfer.
This item category can then be assigned to Purchase Requisition document types so that PRs can be
converted into the stock transport orders.
Define field selection key. This key can be used to define attributes of field on a document type. But
generally attributes are managed using the document type rather than field selection key of a
document type.
Control column T Stock transport needs to be selected if the document type is to be used for stock
transport orders.
Additional checkpoints:
Apart from these configuration settings following are the master data & additional configurations components
needed in order to function the stock transport orders correctly:
1. Customer number assigned to the supplying plant in the purchasing configuration should be created
in the system for the sales area defined in STO configuration.
2. Materials master should be extended to the sales area defined in the STO configuration. And should
exist in both- issuing and receiving plant.
3. Shipping point determination needs to be maintained for the issuing plant.
4. Delivery type assigned in the Purchasing configuration should be assigned to the item categories.

These exact same configuration steps are needed for Cross Company code stock transport orders. The only
difference being, here document type used is NB and delivery type NLCC in the standard system.
On goods issue it creates two accounting documents one in each company code. Issuing Plant Company
codes inventory is credited/relieved and receiving plants company code inventory is debited/ added. There
is then actual invoicing between two company codes to clear the GR/IR clearing.

The document type (NB or UB) determines the posting logic in other words, whether stock in transit is set up.
The item category (U or BLANK) determines whether billing takes place.
You can enter a vendor (freight vendor) 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 system can run an availability check for the stock transfer.
The goods issue (GI) can be entered using a delivery via Shipping (LE-SHP). For the goods issue in SD,
a replenishment delivery is created.
If you want to withdraw materials for stock transfers from different storage locations and stocks
according to a particular strategy.
The entire process can be monitored via the purchase order history.
