Picture: Stock Transfer with STO but without Delivery & Billing

2.1.1 Key Features

To simplify the process for internal stock transfers, businesses may choose to use STO without delivery and billing,

–> STO is a specialized purchase order used for stock movement between two plants, allowing the receiving plant to place an order for stock from the supplying plant.

–> STO enables smooth inventory management and tracks the movement of stock.

–> Uses a purchase order (PO) document type UB.

--> Stock Transfer with STO but without Delivery & Billing can not be executed in 1-step i.e.2-steps only.

--> If any of the supplier plant or customer plant belongs to the different company code then STO process becomes intercompany STO process.

--> If supplier plant & customer plant belongs to the same company code then STO process becomes intra-company STO process.

--> This process uses movement type 351

2.1.2 Advantage of Using STO Without Delivery & Billing

A manufacturing company transfers raw materials from Plant A (Production Plant) to Plant B (Distribution Center) under the same company code.

Below are the main Advantage of Using STO Without Delivery & Billing

1.1.1 Advantages of Stock Transfer with MIGO

Below are the advantages of Stock Transfer with MIGO i.e. without STO, Delivery & Billing

a) Cost Efficiency:

Stock Transfer without STO, Delivery & Billing eliminates administrative costs associated with creating and managing transport orders and deliveries.

b) Speed

Stock Transfer without STO, Delivery & Billing accelerates the stock movement process by avoiding complex & long order creation steps.

c) Simplified Process

Before looking into execution of stock transfer we will check what is inter-company stock transfer & intra-company Stock Transfer

1.1.3 Inter-Company & Intra-Company Stock Transfer

A large company having plants in different locations needs to move the material between it’s plants. For example We have two plants on our car business PA10 & PA20.

Plant PA10 produces engines and plant PA20 assembles the car using the engines produced in plant PA10. So to transfer the engines from the plant PA10 to PA20 we will use STO (Stock Transport Order) in SAP

--> Now in the above example if plants PA10 & PA20 belongs to same company code (No need of having separate legal accounts etc.) then it will be an example of intracompany STO.

--> If Plant PA10 & PA20 belongs to different company code (to have separate legal accounts etc.) then it will be an example of intercompany STO.

For our car business we have two companies and three plants as shown in the below picture

Picture : Our Car Business STO Scenarios
  • The STO between plants PA10 & PA20 (Both belongs to Company Code PA10) will be a intra-company STO).
  • The STO between plants PA10/PA20 (Both belongs to Company Code PA10) & PP10 (Belongs to company code PP10) will be a intercompany STO).

1.1.4 Execution of Stock Transfer with MIGO

In One Step Stock Transfer Between Plants stock is issued from the issuing plant & received in receiving plant in 1 step.

This process uses movement type 301

Start MIGO and choose transaction as “A08 – Transfer Posting” & movement type as “301”

input source plant as “PA10” & destination plant as “PA20”. Both these plants belongs to the same company code.

Picture: One Step Stock Transfer Between Plants of same Company Code

Check & post. Material document & FI documents are posted.

Note: Please check the below posts to see the configuration of organization structure i.e. company codes, plants etc.

b) Two Step Stock Transfer Between Plants of same Company Code

In two Step Stock Transfer Between Plants stock is issued from the issuing plant & received in receiving plant in 2 steps.

As the name suggests , this stock transfer is executed in the two steps.

First step removes the stock from the sending plant and post the material into transit.

The second steps place the stock in the receiving plant stock.

We will see the details of both these steps one by one

b1) First Step- Removal of the Stock from the Sending plant

This process uses movement type 303 (Transfer posting plant to plant – remove from storage).

Start MIGO and choose transaction as “A08 – Transfer Posting” & movement type as “303”

Picture: First Step- Removal of the Stock from the Sending plant

check and post. Material document number 4900000218 is posted.

b2) Second Step- Receipt of the stock into the Receiving Plant

This process uses movement type 305 (Transfer posting plant to plant – place in storage).

Start MIGO and choose transaction as “A10 – Place in Storage” again material document “4900000218” created in first step.

Picture: Second Step- Receipt of the stock into the Receiving Plant
--> In the second Step of Receipt of the stock into the Receiving Plant, no accounting document is posted.

c) One Step Stock Transfer Between Plants of different Company Code

Here stock is transferred In One Step between sending plant & receiving plant which belongs to the different company codes.

This process uses movement type 301 same as One Step Stock Transfer Between Plants of same Company Code

Picture: Second Step- Receipt of the stock into the Receiving Plant of Different Company Code

--> No accounting document is posted in the second Step of the receipt of the stock into the Receiving Plant,

1.2 Stock Transfer With Stock Transport Order/Purchase Order (STO/PO)
