Hello RM
We can transfer stocks within a company code between 2 plants using 3 methods:
1) Using single step simple stock transfer (Mvt Type 301).
2) Using two step stock transfer (Mvt Types 303 and then 305).
3) Using a stock transport order(STO) again it is based on 2 things:
a) r u using STO with delivery or
b) without delivery.
Though the first two steps are very simple to process but using STO has its own advantages: 1) Quantity in transit can be monitored 2) delivery costs can be entered in the STO.
First 2 steps (single step and 2 step plant to plant transfer) can be done using MIGO tcode , selecting stock transfer and entering the relevant mvt types.
would like to tell you about STO as it is an important process.
STO without delivery, the following functions are provided to support the Internal Stock Transfer without Delivery :
#Create Stock Transport Order
#Post goods issue for stock transport order
#Post goods receipt for stock transport order
Config Step required before processing above steps:
Setting Up Stock Transport Order: Purchasing Document Type, the purpose of this activity is to specify which document type is to be used for a certain combination of supplying (issuing) plant and receiving plant.
Path go to SPRO--MM-Purchasing---PO-Set up STO-----assign doc type, one step procedure, underdelivery tolerances.
There you have to enter your supplying and receving plant with the Purchasing doc type( UB).
Now the process:
1) Receiving plant will create a STO towards issuing plant.
2) Issuing plant will transfer material from their unrestricted use stock to stokc in transit using mvt type 351.
3) Receiving plant receives the goods using MIGO mvt type 101.
