Inter company STO-how to reduce the stock where no physical stock is kept in receiving plant

Question

Dear All,
I am facing one issue. Suppose if there are two plants belongs to two company codes A & B.Plant A is in TN & Plant B is in AP (both belongs to two different states). Plant B is the place where no physical stock is kept, it is a place where JJ form & other documents are given to the vehicle to move it to other state. From there it ll move to end customer.
In plant A stock reduce-- inventory credit
                                    COGS----Debit
In plant B stock increase=---Inventory debit
                                         GR/IR--credit
Now my problem is in plant B no stock is kept, my client wants to reduce the inventory automatically without any manual entry (since no stock in plant B)
Can i use MB1A to reduce the stock automatically & what would be the actual entry for that. How to offset the other account which is getting debited against inventory?.
Regards
Subbu.

Hi,
   It seems to be a combined scenario of third party and inter company STO scenario, where you want to send the send the stock directly to your customer. Standard SAP doesnt support the third party scenario for a vendor assigned to the plant. The standard design is well explained in the note: 1918552 - Third Party Purchase in Cross Company STO: error 06769
   If you dont want to update the stock in the receiving plant, use a consumption account assignment category (like K) in the intercompany STO, so that the stock will be directly consumed. But one question - how do you map the goods issue to the customer and the outgoing excise invoice? Could you please share the details.
