Impact of different division on Stock Transport Order

We have a situation where we have one plant with one customer number, but we have 2 business areas of material going through it. Example: The material exists in divison 10 business area 15. The customer is configured to business area 15. No problem here. But we also have material in division 10 business area 13. The financial postings are correct, as the material comes out of 13 and goes into 13 on the receiving end, however on the stock transport order, it will show 10/15. What is the impact of this? Will it affect reports? Do we need a separate plant for 10/13? The configuration will not work with the business area blank.
Please advise. Thank you.

Hi
A product or service is always assigned to just one division. From the point of view of sales and distribution, the use of divisions lets you organize your sales structure around groups of similar products or product lines. This allows the people in a division who process orders and service customers to specialize within a manageable area of expertise.
The system uses divisions to determine the sales areas and the business areas for a material, product, or service.
So by changing division you are changing business area also. And you have cross and vertical reports business area wise and division wise. So standard report will not go wrong.

Advice on stock transports orders involving different currencies

I posted this in the logistics forum but thought I'd post this here as well to get an accounting perspective. We have worldwide pricing of our materials, meaning that a part in Plant A should equal that of Plant B and we're having issues when Plant A is in one currency and Plant B in another. At the time that the standard price is entered in Plant A (let's say in USD), the current exchange rate is used to populate the standard price in Plant B (in say, GBP). A month later the current exchange rate in changed.
When a stock transport order is created, the system is now using the new exchange rate and the difference caused by the change in exchange rate is posting as a PO Price Variance. Our accounting department doesn't want it to work this way...they don't want any price variance postings because of a change in exchange rate. Does anyone know of a way around this?

u can work like imports here also.
ex. rate diff can be treated in same way.
mark fix indicator at PO level

Inter and Intra Company Stock Transport Orders

Hi All,
has anyone set up the following scenarios?
1. Intra Company Stock Transport Orders between 2 plants in the same company code and same Sales Org
i.e Plant 0001 (Supplying Plant) exists for Company Code 0001 and Sales Org 0001
Plant 0002 (Receiving Plant) exists for Company Code 0001 and Sales Org 0001
2. Inter Company Stock Transport Orders between 2 plants in different company codes and different Sales Orgs
i.e. Plant 0003 (Supplying Plant) exists for Company Code 0002 and Sales Org 0002
Plant 0002 (Receiving Plant) exists for Company Code 0001 and Sales Org 0001
We are unable to get both scenarios to work at the same time due to the fact that only one Sales organization for intercompany billing can be assigned to a plant.
Regards
Chris

Hi chris,
Followings steps are involved for configuring intra stock transport order.
Intra Company STO Scenario: Plant B receives material from Supplying plant A.
1.create combination of Shipping condition, Loading Group and Supplying plant.
2.Create Customer master with sales org, Distribution channel and Division.
3.Assign customer master to receiving plant with same Sales area.
4.Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule.
5.Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, under delivery Tolerance.
6.Make Sure Assignment of sales organization - distribution channel - plant
7.Create material master with purchasing view in plant B.
8.Extend material master with sales view to plant A.
9.In Plant A create STO (UB), with supplying plant. Check for shipping point XXXX.
10.In Plant B create STO (UB), with supplying plant.Check for shipping point XXXX.
11.Create delivery for XXXX shipping points.
12. Post Goods issue.

Auto Batch Determination For Stock Transport Order/Replenishment Delivery

All,
I have an issue with my stock replenishment deliveries (STPO, Stock Transfer Plant to Plant via standard MRP/Procurement process with a Purchase Order that is a Stock Transport Order).
One question I have is what module should the configuration be for Auto Batch Determination on deliveries from STPO's, is it SD or MM? The reason I ask is because I have the SD side working just fine for example if I enter a customer order for this material and issue a delivery against it I get a batch automatically assigned according to your search/sort criteria. I know with a Stock Transport you have different item categories etc. and I have flagged them as relevant for ABD.
I have been racking my brain regarding this and I have went through the configuration for both Inventory Management and Sales and Distribution. I have went through the steps several times. I am not seeing what I am missing any help in this arena would be helpful I am getting the following error message when I go to the batch tab on the replenishment delivery "Batch determination is not possible because there is no search procedure". I am at a loss to what configuration is needed. I keep going through the steps and I am not finding whats missing. Any help in this area would be most grateful.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
you need to configure batch determination in SD and maintain enteries in the trasaction code V/C5 as below
Sales org + Distribution channel + Division + DL (in salesDoc Ty) + Search procedure + tick check batch
Sales org + Distribution channel + Division + NL (in salesDoc Ty) + Search procedure + tick check batch
also check whether the delivery item category is active for auto. batch determination and maintain the batch condition record in transaction code VCH1

Commercial Invoice and Stock Transport Order

Hello Experts,
My client is using stock transport orders which sometimes results in cross border goods movement. I am not able to find any functionality for creating commercial invoices to be used for these types of shipping.
Any ideas?

GAR

Hi Gar,
Usually when there is a crossing of borders, it is a movement between 2 different companies code, therefore the intercompany purchase is the usual flow.
If you mean that the flow is between plants of the same company code between different countries, maybe you are talking about "Plants abroad" functionality.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/34/60b1a0ae724effe10000009b38f91f/content.htm
Previously, the plants of a company code had to belong to the country of that company code.
As of Release 4.0A, it is possible to deviate from this rule for European company codes with European plants.
I never had to use this functionality at a customer site, but that sounds like your requirement
Also allows internal billing document for intrastat reporting, so feel free to evaluate!

Automatic Post Goods Issue Of Stock Transport Order

Here is the scenario:
We are using stock transport order to logically move inventory from one company to another company inside the same physical location. The material# is the same but the plant# is different.
Process is as follows:
Associate enters the purchase order
If inventory exists - delivery is created automatically
The delivery is also auto picked
Currently, we have the inventory to PGI in a batch job several times a day.
However, the user would like to have the inventory - move as soon as the delivery is created.
Does anyone know of any technique - to post the inventory immediately.
I was thinking along the line of a workflow/create of an idoc (WHSCON) to faciliate this.
Kind Regards, Steve

You could simply scedule the batch job to PGI right after the delviery creation job runs (just delay it a few seconds after the longest period of time the delivery creation job runs).
So there would only be a very short delay, Looking at vl10g now to see is auto PGI is an option but I am thinking it is not
(I will update my post if I find it is)
Edit: It doesn't look like a standard option but I would imagine you could change a function code profile with custom user exit to trigger goods issue

Stock Transport Order of Handling Unit

"HU item contains different data than the stock posting
Message no. HUGENERAL319

Check the accuracy of the HU and IM inventories. If they are correct, contact your system administrator about this problem."
Please how do i solve this.

It seems in delivery one line item is not packed.Check is all the line items has the same HU location or not.If any item has different location then check is the line item related to HU location.Check all line items are packed or not in Pack box.If any thing not packed then pack and do PGI.System should allow the PGI.

HELP for all 5 TYPES of STO Stock Transport Orders with detailed scenario

PLEASE help me understanding the detailed scenarios for all 5 TYPES of STO s
as in my day to day job activities , i frequently handles issues related to STO s
PLEASE HELP WITH DETAILED STEP BY STEP SCENARIOS

Hi Jagatram,
Standard SAP has the following methods For Stock transport order:
1) One Step Transfer stock without using purchasing documents; Use movement type 301.
2) Two Step Transfer stock without using purchasing documents; Use movement type 303 in Supplying plant and movement type 305 in receiving plant.
3) Using Standard Transport Order (STO) without delivery in two steps. STO created in T-Code ME27, receiving plant posts goods issue (for returns), movement type 351 and supplying plant post goods receipt from using movement type 101.
4) Using Standard Transport Order (STO) with delivery in one step. STO created in T-Code ME27, Receiving plant creates shipment and Goods issue document (for materials to be returned) with movement type 647 and goods receipt document with movement type 101 both created in one step.
5) Using Standard Transport Order (STO) with delivery in two steps. STO created in T-Code ME27, Receiving plant creates shipment and Goods issue posted (for materials to be returned) with movement type 641.Goods receipt is posted in the supplying plant, movement type 101.
6) Using Transportation scheduling agreement (TSA) with delivery in two steps. TSA created in T-Code ME37. Receiving plant creates shipment and Goods issue document (for materials to be returned) with movement type 641. Goods receipt is posted in the supplying plant, movement type 101.
To achieve it, necessary configurations has to be done in Tcode- OMGN.
SPRO>> Materials management>> Purchasing>> Purchase Order>> Set up Stock transport Order:
1. Plant: For the receiving plant, maintain customer No-Plant (If using STO with delivery), for the Sales Org, Dist channel and Division.
2. Checking Rule: Create checking rule.
3. Define checking rule : Usually no change required here.
4. Assign delivery type/checking rule: Assign the document type(UB) - Supplying plant- Delivery type(NL).
5. Purchasing document type: Maintain the supplying plant- Receiving plant relationships for the doc type-UB, either 1-step or 2-step, as per business.
Hope this helps!

Third party Stock Transport Order

Hi,
We have a requirement as descibed below:
Plants A, B and C are live in SAP and belong to different company codes. The Plant B is the sales office and no production/purchasing happens at this plant. The vendor codes for Plant A & B with respective plant assignment is done and STO configuration for the procurment from Plant A to C and vice versa is set up in the system. Now, the requirement is Plant A intends to procure from plant C (in other words Plant C should deliver to Plant A) but the billing should happen from Plant B. The third party cross company sales is set up for Plant B making a cross company sales order with sales org of Plant B and production plant B for the external customer.
One of the solution is to make the Plant A as external customer of Plant B but somehow that doesn't follow the SAP Business Global Solution of the company.
Kindly advise if any solution from the procurement perspective (stock transport order) could serve the business requirement (Plant C to deliver to Plant A and billing from Plant B). Any kind of development should also be acceptable.
Thanks in Advance,

To add to what Jurgen said:
Why would a second company code be an invoicing party? The business process doesn't make sense.
Also had the Plant C been a part of the same company code of Plant A (Supplying plant), then cross company STO could have easily mapped the scenario, by giving the Plant C as the invoicing party (PI) in the partner function of Plant A.

Freight Cost in Stock Transport Order

Hello:
We have requirement where we want to include freight charges into inventory valuation of material in receiving plant of stock transport order. Is it possible using shipment cost document of LE-TRA module?
If yes, How can I do it??
Also, I want have different pricing conditions like washing charge, Demurrage etc. These pricing conditions are included in pricing procedure. Can I post value of these conditions in different G/L accounts? If Yes then How??
Also I want to crate a multi dimensional freight rate condition using Distance, Weight. How can I do this?
I will really appreciate your response or any docs you have on this subject.

Hi dev,
We did something similar last week. To charge the freight cost to the receiving party we did a manual service entry sheet for that.
We created a separate Po with Transport vendor and the receiving plant and account type is Z shipment costing and service item description as intercompany freight.
You will specify the limit of the amount here, and specify the G/L account here. Now create the service entry sheet withthe freight amount and settle.
I think you can follow the similar thing with additional lines for your requirement for other charges.
Since we want let the receiving plant pay the freight we didn't create the shipment cost document of LE-TRA.
Let see if any other suggestions comes.

BAPI for cross company-code stock transport order

Hello experts,
I need to create cross company-code stock transport orders, is there any bapi that can perform this? If you guys have some sample code it will be great.
PD: i found the bapi BAPI_PO_CREATE1, but i don't really know if it'll work for this requirement.

Hi Team,
I have created two company codes 5000 and 5005 and then assigned the plants 5000 and 5005 to company code respectively.
Here my supplying plant is 5005 and receiving plant is 5000.
Also I have created a vendor 1000 with account group 0007 and assigned the supplying plant 5005 to it.
1. How do we assign sales and distribution (SD) organizational units to the supplying plant?
2. Whether we have to create customer master (using Tcode XD01) for the supplying plant?
3. While creating the customer master, the company code and sales area (sales organization, distribution channel, division) must be of supplying company code / plant?
4. Whether we have to create customer master for receiving plant?
5. While assigning the customer master to plant, which sales area info (sales organization, distribution channel, division) has to give?
Please give the detail from customer master creation and assigning it to plant.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Shyjith

Hi Shyjith,
1. Create vendor 1000 as internal vendor in company code 5000 & assign supplying plant 5005 in additional data in Purchasing tab.
2. Create receiving plant as 5000 as internal customer in company code 5005 & respective sales area of 5005 , if you have no other numbre range for internal customer.
3.In SPRO do the following settings,
a.efine shipping data for both receiving & supplying plant --- SPRO - MM -- Purchasing -- Purchase order --- Set up stock transport order -- define shipping data for plants
b. Assign delivery type as NLCC to supplying plant 5005.
Craete Purchase order with vendor as 1000 & plant in purchase order as 5000 ( If not defined any external number for customer)
Please note if you have defined external muber for customer 5000, the n you have to define that number, when you will be defining shipping data for receiving plant as customer.
Thanks,

Stock transport Order control

Hi Experts,
Need advice on this.
My company is currently using STO to transfer stock between 2 plants belong to 2 different company codes. Due to this, the PO type that we use will be NB instead of the usual UB. This is based on the SAP configuration guide found in SPRO.
   Due to this, the PO raised is actually a normal PO that the user can actually send to other vendors (not the interco vendor).
    We are considering having a new PO type for STO only. Even if we do that, we are not able to find anything in config that allow us to control such that user will not raise to other vendors (non interco vendor) accidentatlly.
     We are quite reluctant to code in the user exit. Based on SAP standard, am I missing anything out here that cause the PO type (dedicated solely for STO), to ensure that the only vendor raised is an interco vendor?
      We need this urgently as I had spent too much time exploring on my own instead of coming here fast to seek expert advice.
       Thanks.

Hi,
To avoid incorrect usage of document type, if business permits, the documnet type for general purchase from vendors may be configured as userdefined doc. type with Z, inorder to differentiate from the cross-company code stock transport order (NB).
As such while using the document type NB for the cross-company code STO, the field for vendor is automatically gets changed to "Supplying plant" which clearly diferentiates from the vendor purchases.
Thanks & Regards,
Amjad

Stock Transport Order UB order- Delivering Storage Location

We have UB / Stock Transport orders in place. Now we start a new flow of Stock Transport orders from a different Storage Location. When creating a UB order I only have the option to enter delivering Plant, not delivering SLoc.
So far I have a configged a new SLoc, SLoc reference , a new Shipping Condition.
What can I do to pull my materials for this new flow from my new SLoc?
Please let me know what you think, and I will be grateful.
Nick

Hi All,
Check out You have assigned all Company code, Plant & Storage location. If it is assigned properly you will get it in Stock Transport order. T.Code: Mb1b Movement type: 301 you can check it out
I thing it solves your problem.

UB[Stock transport order] - Partners

Hello,
I have a define a partner function to a UB Purchase order. Where can I configure to determine automatically? Is there any user exit to do it ?
I debug code and I discover in program SAPLMEPO (MM06EF0P_PARTNERS) FORM PARTNERS that in line 97 'CHECK ekko-bsakz EQ space' my purchase order have ekko-bsakz = 'T' (that is standard) and never determine partners.
Thanks

Upto my knowledge you can do partner function in Stock transport order .
Stock transport order is meant for stock transfer between storaage location within a plant having same company code (or) with different company code.
Stock transfers can occur at three different levels:
Stock transfer from company code to company code
Stock transfer from plant to plant
From storage location to storage location (in the plant)
