Purch. group optional in Stock Transport Order

Hello,
Is there a way to set the purchasing group as optional?.
I've gone through all Field Selection Keys and purchasing group is set as optional, but at transaction level the system is showing an error message ME 083.
Best regards,
Nelson

Hi,
this is one of the main fields that SAP expects to be filled in on EVERY PO (STO) and so even though it looks like you can make it optional, the code in the program makes is mandatory.
PLEASE don't try and make it optional, there will be many programs that expect data to exist in this field and these programs would start to fail if it was missing.
Can't you simply use the defaults so that it does not have to be keyed each time?
this is easy emough to do and FAR safer.

Stock Transport Order-shipping point not determined

Hi MM Gurus,
We need to set up STO for transferring stock from plant 2000 to 1000. I have completed following setting.
IMG
Enterprise Structure-Assignment-Sales and Distribution-Assign sales organization to company code
Both the sales orgnizations are in same company code. We have only one company code.
Enterprise Structure-Assignment-Sales and Distribution-Assign sales organization - distribution channel - plant
The sales area 1000 is are assigned to both the plants 1000 & 2000 and sales area 2000 is also assigned to both the plants.
Enterprise Structure-Assignment-Logistics Execution-Assign shipping point to plant
Plant 1000 is assigned to sales area 1000 & 2000. Plant 2000 is assigned to sales area 1000 & 2000.
Materials Management-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Set up Stock Transport Order-Define Shipping Data for Plants
For plant 1000 & 2000 cusomer master 56 & 57 respectively are maintained. The sales orginzation for these plants are 1000 & 2000 respectively.
Materials Management-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Set up Stock Transport Order-Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule
Delivery type NL has been assigned to document type UB.
The details of customer master 56 & 57 are as below
Account Group - Sold To Party
Reconcilliation account -121000
Delivery plant 1000 & 2000 respectively
Please note - No vendor number is maintained in these cusomer masters.
Created these plants as vendors
Account group 0007(Plants) and assigned plant numbers in the additional data of purchasing.
Material 251 is created and maintained in both the sales orgnization.
Now when I am creating the STO for transferring goods from plant 2000 to 1000, I am getting error message.
"Not possible to determine shipping data for material 251"
Am I missing something? Some documentation say that I should create a receiving plant as customer in the sales area of supplying plant. If this is true, how to do it?
Also, what is the significance of return vendor (maintaining vendor master in the customer) in this case?
Your any clue will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shekhar

Shekhar,
Customer must be maintained as a shipto as well.
In your STO config settings you don't need a customer assigned to the source plant, unless it will also be a destination plant (e.g. you also intend to execute STOs in the reverse direction, or from another plant).
While looking at your customer (shipto), you will also want to look at Route Determination for this customer. Typically, your route will be defined by customer zone (from cust master), shipping point zone (from shipping point definition configuration), and shipping conditions (customer master). Route will be used during delivery creation to schedule the delivery. Logically, the total duration between Material Availability date to Delivery date of the delivery (picking/packing/load/transit) should be something close to the planned delivery time in the Material Master, in order to maintain consistency throughout the entire planning and execution process.
Don't forget to maintain your STO Purchase req stuff IMG>MM>Purch>PurReq>Set up Stock Transport Requisition.

Planned order conversion to Process Order and Stock Transport Order

Hello Friends,
Help me to setup the below scenario
We have an requirement wherein MAT1 can be inhouse produced or can also get stock from other plant via stock transport order.
For which in Material master I have configured
MRP 2 view
Procuremrent Type - X
Special Procurement - 40 (wherin the splly plant is maintained)
MRP 3 view
Strategy group - 40 (as it is planning with final assembly)
But when i run MRP system created Planed orders for PIRs. Selecting Planned Order conversion only Purchase req tab is available we do not have an option to convert to production order.
Kindly help me correcting the settings, so that i should be in a position to convert planned order either to process order or Stock transport Purchase requisition.
Thanks and Regards,
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
Stock transfer is only possible with procurement type 'F'. when you take spl.procurement type 40, its a combination of F(procurement type) and U (Spl.procurement). it will over write the procurement type ('X' in your case) in material master. that is the reason u r getting only pur req.
if you know the proportion quantity i.e how much inhouse and how much stock transport, then use quota arrangement.
or
don't use any spl procurement key. define the materials in both the plants. when converting planned order to pur req. manually assign supplying plant and item category 'U'. try this.
Thanks & regards

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.

Antony

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 issueing storage location determination

Folks,
In case of a Stock transport order scenario in which plant A with SLOC1 delivery to plant B with SLOC 2. Is there any option how the issueing storage location can be determined? The delivering plant can be determined through the special procurement key but there is no option for the issueing SLOC.
Regards,
MdZ

Hey Karen!
I am not sure if I understand your problem correctly.
You do not want the system to create a new MARD entry when postin goods issue.
You can enable/ disable this function with transaction OMB3 in the customizing.

Change the valuation class of material [Stock transport order scenario]

Dears,
Client would like to change the valuation class of material.
There is no open Purchase order/Process order/Purchase requistion and stock in plant.
Scenario- One Stock transport order is created.
For same goods issue (351-issuing plant) and goods receipt (101-receiving plant) is done.
When we are going to change the valuation class of said material, message is "purchase order is open
and it shows the no of STO [for which receipt and issue is done]"
To resolve this issue we had first delete the STO line item no(ME22N). Then change the valuation class.
(this allows). and then undelete the STO line item. Through this we can change the valuation class of material.
Please advise in such business process that this is right way or there may be other option.
Thanks & Regards
Rajan

rajanshah219,
Here's my take on how to fix:
*Manually change Config TCode OMT4 - change message MM 326 & 327 to type "W" (if open order exists...now you can enter through warning messages)
*If inventory exists, then issue out of stock to a cost center
*Change valuation class
*Put stock back into inventory (reverse to that same cost center) Note issue out and reverse back into inventory must happen in the same posting period.
**Valuation class should be changed as expected
**Manually change config TCode OMT4 - change message MM 326 & 327 back to type "E"
Thanks,
Jason

Procurement cycle in third party order and stock transport order.

please provide me in steps the procurement cycle in third party order and stock transport order.

Hi,
STO Process: -
1.Create a vendor for the company code of receiving plant, using account group :0007 using T-Code XK01.
2. Assign this vendor to Delivering plant
Go to XK02 >Purchasing view>Extras>Add. Purchasing data>Plant
3. Create internal customer with the sales area of the vendor. Go To XD01
4. In Pricing procedure determination relevant to STO, assign document Pricing Procedure and customer pricing procedure appropriate for STO to get the pricing in the invoice.
5. Maintain condition records for the relevant pricing condition.
6. Some more setting for STO: Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Receiving plant >assign customer here & Supplying SA (for billing) to Receiving plant here
7. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Supplying plant and assign the sales area of receiving plant.
8. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > assign delivery Type & Checking rule
Assign the delivery type to document type. In this case, Delivery type NLCC is assigned to Document type NB
9. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > Assign document Type, One step Procedure, Under delivery tolerance
Assign the document type NB to supplying plant and receiving plant
10. After all settings , Create the STO using T-Code:ME21N and maintain pricing conditions of freight and Save.
11. Create Delivery :VL10G
Click on the Background Button after selecting line item
A message is flashed : See log for information> next Click on Log for delivery creation Button >click on line item>click on document button to get Delivery document No
12. Picking, PGI:VL02N
13. Billing:VF01
Save the document and its done
14. J1IIN - Outgoing Excise Invoice
15. MIGO - Goods Receipt against outbound Delivery
16. J1IEX - Capture & Post Excise Invoice
Pricing configuration for STO: -
In SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Conditions > Define Price Determination Process > Define Schema Determination > Determine Schema for Stock Transport Orders > Here assign Calculation Schema "RM2000" i.e. Stock Transfer Document to Schema Grp Pur. Org, STO Type (For e.g. UB) and Supplying Plant.
Calculation Schema "RM2000" has condition type P101 which will pick up the MAP of supplying plant automatically during creation of STO in ME21N ("Conditions" Tab).
You can create new freight / delivery cost conditions in M/06 and assign in pricing procedure "RM2000" in M/08 and also assign the Accrual Key to this and do the Account Determination for this Accrual Key in OBYC
At the time of PGI, following accounting entry will get generated;
Stock A/c - Dr - 110 INR (Receiving Plant)
Stock A/c - Cr - 100 INR (Supplying Plant)
Freight Clearing A/c - Cr - 10 INR (Supplying Plant)
Third Party Process Flow: -
1) MM01 - General Item category Group should be BANS in basic view of material master.
2) VA01 - Creation of sales order with VA01 transaction in SD module
3) When sales order is created system automatically creates a PR for the material with item category as "S"--> Third Party Item
4) ME21N - Directly PO with item category as "S" and delivery address as customer address
5) MIGO - Statistical GR by MM ( When it is made goods are received and delivered)
6) MIRO - Invoice by MM for vendor
7) VF01 - Billing by SD on Customers

Stock Transport Order - Partners not Determined

Hi Colleagues,
We have a simple Intra company Stock Transport Order and want to get the partner function 'VN' into the purchase order and then into the Inbound Delivery
We have configured the partner schemas and assigned to the vendor account group 0007. Partners are created in the plant vendor record
We have configured the purchase document schema and assigned this to document type 'UB'. However, the partners are not defaulted into the STO. We can assign them manually
However, when we create the Inbound Delivery for the STO the vendor is not defaulted into the delivery and gives an incompletion error. We can manually enter vendor in the inbound delivery and then save the document.
Any Ideas what is wrong or missing?
Thanks
Steve

have a look into OSS note 863541 - Standard vendor for inbound delivery w/ purchase order refer

PO stock transport order - item change - field Customer in tab shipping

Dear all,
because of an existing modification it is necessary that I have to update the field customer at shipping tab of an stock transport order item when item's storage location was changed within TAC ME22N or ME21N.
Unfortunately SAP has not implemented this functionality within BAPIs or Userexits.
Does anyone has an idea where we have to place this modification?
Until the installation of the last support package, the modification changed the customer within include MM06EFPV_PTV_FUELLEN, form ptv_fuellen before calling function SD_TRANSFERDATA_DETERMINE and it worked.
Best regards and thank you for your replay!

Piotr,
You can default the shipping point in your STO based on the combination of shipping conditon (maintained in customer master), loading group (maintained in material master) and the plant in SPRO->Logistics Execution->Shipping->Basic Shipping Functions->Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination->Assign Shipping Points.
If you don't use any of the entries (for instance if you don't use the loading group), then just leave the entry blank in config.
Hope this helps.

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,
Charu

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.

Planning stock transport orders

Hello experts,
does anybody know how to create a purchase requisition per stock transport order when executing MD01/ MD02 process. For example, we have three plants, Z002, Z024 and Z025. If we create two stock transport order, one with plant Z024 and the other one with plant Z025, both supplying plant Z002 same material and same delivery date. When executing MD02 for plant Z002 the system groups all needs derivated from the two stock transport orders and proposes only one purchase requisition, but we need to create, in this case, two purchase requisition.
Thanks

Firt of all, I´d like to thank you for having answered so quick.
I had already tried what you tell me and the resault wasn´t as expected.

Purchase Order -> Setup stock transport order -> assign the internal customer to the
ordering plant and assign the Sales area of the internal customer.
Assign its Sales area to the delivering plant
Assign the document type and Delivery type NB and NLCC
Assign the Supplying plant --> Receiving Plant --> NB
Take the delivering plant and assign the sales area.
Vendor master has to be created and assign the supply source (Delivering Plant).
Create a purchase order ME21N ---> Save
Delivery VL10 G ---> Calculation rule (appropriate) --> Assign the purchase order
number here and execute.
Select the Delivery creation line and do the back ground process.
Start the log display and see the delivery document number by the documents button
Goto VL02N --> do picking and PGI --> Then do the MIGO with respect to the delivery
document.
Billing (Intercompany pricing conditions should be set).

Stock Transport order - Transport cost on

Hi
What is the best way of accounting for Freight costs on a stock transport order, with and without using Logistics execution and limiting the transactions processed.
For Primary distibution between to plants where the cost are Variable based on km and fixeds based on points.
For intercompany stock transfer,

Hi,
For Logistics execution Enter the freight component in the STO, either based on qty or fixed value, the same can be paid against the invoice verification for the planned delivery cost once the Post Goods Issue / GR is done.
The other option will be a direct FI posting, but the same will not get inventorised if your inventory account is an auto posting account, the same will need to be charged off against some expenditure.
