Significance of deliveries in STOs

Hi
Please explain the significance and the process when deliveries used in STO processes

Jupudi

Hi Jupudi,
a lot of companies want to have the same kind of documentation for a goods issue for an STO as they have it with a delivery for a sales order.
Process:
1. create STO (ME21N)
2. create delivery (VL10B/VL10D/VL10F etc)
3. PGI (VL02N, VL06G, VL06O)
4. PGR against the delivery to correctly update document flow (MIGO). In case of a one step STO the PGR is done automatically when doing PGI
5. cross company STO: create intercompany billing doc (VF01)
6. cross company STO: create invoice for PO (MIRO)
You need to set up sales views for the materials affected, and execute the IMG activities for STOs (OLME -> Purchase Order -> Set up Stock Transport Order). These steps and the process is really just the basics, you can complicate it if you want.
Please also search the forum, I'm pretty sure you'll find more than enough threads
Cheers,
Attila

Inbound deliveries with STO

Hi,
I am currently designing an interface with an external WMS and I am thinking to use inbound deliveries but it seems inbound deliveries with stock transport order have important restrictions :
1. inbound deliveries are created with the quantity from the STO and not from the outbound delivery => risk on stock in transit
2. The batch numbers are not copied from the outbound delivery to the inbound delivery (it is done in GR with MIGO if you post from outbound delivery)
3. I haven't (yet) found a way to create automatically an inbound delivery when you post the goods issue from the outbound delivery. (it seems SAP is providing special development for that ?)
Does anyone experienced the use of inbound deliveries with STO and what are your recommendation?
Thanks a lot,
JP

Hi,
We want to create inbound delivery in order to interface with an external WMS (Warehouse Management). We are not using standard SAP "decentralized WMS" interface.
By using inbound deliveries for the interface, we can initiate the GR in SAP and then wait for confirmation from WMS. The WMS can then confirm different quantities if some discrepancies are identified during unloading.
Also, creating inbound deliveries allow planning for receiving (i.e yard management).
=> We do not want to post the GR first in SAP and then send it to the WMS as they can find some differences during unloading
=> We do not want warehouse operators to work in SAP
=> We need a document in the WMS which will trigger task creation for GR for warehouse operators.
=> We want to use same solution for GR for external purchase orders and STO. So if we use inbound deliveries for PO, we want to use it for STO.
Does anyone has experienced to create inbound delivery for STO from outbound delivery with Idoc (i.e ASN with DESADV) or specific development ?
Thanks for your help,
JP

Why there is no manual creation of deliveries for STO...

Individual(VL01N) : You can create one delivery for each sale order on the screen. There is no manual creation of deliveries for STOu2019s. Transaction VL01N
Why there is no manual creation of deliveries for STO...
Thank you very much.

Partial deliveries in STO

Hello,
I am rather new to MRP and ATP check. I have already searched the forum but i could not find how to solve this issue.
Can you please help me solve the issue below?
When we were creating outbound deliveries against STO, the deliveries were not appearing in transaction MD04.
Well sometimes the delivery appears in MD04 and sometimes it doesn’t.
In the material master, the strategy group defined was 00 - Noplanning / no requirements transfer
So we have added an additional entry in transaction OVZI, with source 1 - MRP type.
After this change in customizing, the deliveries started to appear in MD04.
However since this change, the deliveries are now being created in partial quantity (probably due to stock availability). The client doesn’t want to have partial deliveries they want only one delivery with total quantity.
I have checked the shipping details defined in the customer and it seems to be ok. Partial delivery are not allowed
Could you please help me prevent the creation of partial deliveries?
Thanks and regards,
Yannick

Hi,
Do refer the below OSS Notes , it explain why we can stop the partial deliveries.

Combined Deliveries for STO

Can anyone tell me the criteria for combining deliveries for STO's.., I believe the delivering plant, receiving plant and delivery data....is there anything else........where do you configure this...
i have two STO's where the delivering plants are different but the receiving plant/shipping point/ delivery date are the same and the deliveries are combining and give me a single delivery...that doesnt seem rite...can anyone help me in this..
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Sivanand,
Thanks for responding.., but my problem is that i do not want combined deliveries when the delivering plants are different.say I have two or more delivering plants which have the same shipping point and when they transfer to the same recieving plant, the deliveries are combining. I want the deliveries to combine if there are more than 1 delivery from the same delivering plant but a delivery split if deliveries are from different delivering plants.
A -
> B
C -
> B
D -
> B
A -
> B
I want total of 3 deliveries going to plant B
I want the 2 deliveries to combine going from A ---> B
a single delivery from C----> B and another delivery from D -
> B
All the plants belong to the same company code.
Thanks,
Michelle.

Significance and scope of STO & STR

Folks
I am trying to understand the Significance and scope of STO & STR.
1. Are STO & STRu2019s primarily used to transport the stock between
a). Plants within same company or
b). Plants within different company or
2. At what point in the logistics/SCM process does STR/STO get created?
3. Are STR/STO created manually or through MRP / SNP?
4. Whatu2019s the standard approach to convert STR to STO.
Thanks

How do you differentiate STO and PO? Both are pruchase orders that are created with ME21N and changed in ME22N.
if the plants are in the same company then you use order document type UB.
if the plants are in different company codes then you either stay with the standard and use NB as document type (or you still want differentiate between real external orders and purchase orders made to a partner company, then you can create an extra document type like IC for intercompany)
MRP creates planned order or requisitions only, based on settings made in MRP parameters and indicators set in material master, but never an external document like purchase order or STO.
The main difference between UB and NB stock transport orders is that in UB orders you just mention a plant instead of a vendor number. further in NB orders you need to have an price because there is a billing requirement between two legal entities while UB orders do not have price conditions (except for freight costs with external carriers).
The setting from which SAP knows whether it has to create a NB or UB is made in purchasing customizing of stock transports. Further SAP will know from enterprise customizing if the plants involved belong to same or different company codes.
In case of different company codes, you need to create vendor master data for each plant, and the vendor needs to be linked to a plant. (table T001W)

Item Category Determination in Deliveries against STO

Dear Guru,
In our STO process, there will always have a Outbound delivery created for this STO PO.
Actually my question is how the system deterermine the correct item category for the outbound delivery.
I checked through configuration under "Define Item Category Determination in Deliveries" or tcode "0184", from which i can find the conbination by "delivery type" + Item category group, but there are many different item category usage and default item category
As such, can anyone please advice me if there is any place where i can maintain the "item category usage" or "Default Item category" to allow the UB STO PO determine the correct item category.
thank you very much
Regards
Chee Wee

Dear Pankaj,
So sorry, i'm still not clear.
Actually for my client, they have a non-standard PO document type UB2 for the Stock transport order between 2 different plant and the physical address or location will determine by the storage location.
and the complete flow is STO PO--> Outbound delivery --> Inbound Delivery with Ref. with outbound Delivery
--> Goods Issue --> Goods Receipt
and understand from other post, the Mvt type to be use for the outbound delivery will be determine by the item category and Sales Order Schedule line.
For my case, the default Order type is YDL, and Item cat group in Sales Org view 2 is Norm, but for YDL + Norm conbination are many which having different Item catogory usage and Item category.
So how can i know which one the correct item category in "0184" which i can use it to determine the Sales order schedule line.?

Need a report to see the inbound deliveries on STO

Hello,
I would like to run a report which will give me the list of open STOs which i can filter by material, supply plant, receiving plant or date.
Is there a standard report available for this?
Thanks

Hi,
Check the transcation ME2N with following option
Scope of list - ALV
Selection Parameters - WE101
Document Type - UB
Hope this will be of some help to you.

Using a Non-valuated, non-stock material in an STO

Created a planning material with UNBW material type in ECC 6 to use to help manage shipping capacity at the mill. Added to a sales order and it decremented the plan as expected.
Half of the mill's deliveries are STO's so now trying to get this to work on an STO.
Does anybody have advice on how to get a non-valuated, non-stock material (ideally, a planning material, but we could work around this) that we don't plan to deliver, to work on an STO?

Thx for replying. I need the material to be accepted by the STO but also to work with planning so it decrements a planned shipping capacity for the mill. So I am trying to figure out how to get it on the STO and be differentiated from other, normal materials that have $ value, inventory, and account assignment, This material will only have a planned quantity that can be decremented by demand coming from either sales orders or STO's.

Is it possible to add item in Outbound delivery from a different STO

Hi experts
I have a question regarding adding an item in delivery from different STO.
we create outbound deliveries from STOs and at times we have all conditions same for shipping and we need to add another item in delivery from a different STO.
I am not getting an option in VL02 to ad another item with reference to STO, is it possible to create delivery by adding another item from STO?
Thanks & Regards
Anand

You can combine STOS in to one OB delivery if they are all from teh same plant. You could use the customer master >> order combination indicator

Full STO delivery

Folks,
I have multiple items on an STO and would like to delivery those in 1 delivery. SO delivery should only be created in case all items are fully in stock.
I've set the partial delivery indiactor off in the customer master. I've also set that a complete delivery is required by law in the customer master.
Now, I have created a situation in which not all items are on stock and would have expected that VL10b would not create a delivery. However, it does create a delivery for those items that are on stock.
It seems that the indicators set in customer master are not applicable for STO?
Is this functionality not present in standard SAP?
Thanks,
MZ

have a look into OSS Note 842829 - Characteristics of replenishment deliveries from STOs
among others info there is following statement:
In replenishment deliveries, the system does not read the purchase order (PO) history. Furthermore, you do not know which other replenishment deliveries exist for the same underlying STO and STO item, or what quantity they contain. Therefore, there is no equivalent for open order quantities (LIPSD-OFMNG) in deliveries for sales orders. As a result, the following fields are not transferred because they are irrelevant, and the following functions are not developed for replenishment deliveries:
a) Underdelivery tolerance and overdelivery tolerance, UEBTO, UNTTO, UEBTK, TVLP-UEBPR
b) Complete delivery AUTLF and the number of partial deliveries ANTLF
c) KZTLF is active for the characteristic values A and B only.

STO HU Shipment

Hello experts,
I have the following scenario:
1. STO from plant A to plant B
2. Plant A creates deliveries for STO.
3. We pick HUs in the delivery.
4. We create a shipment
5. In the shipment we create a shipment HU (truck) and we pack the delivery's HUs
6. We make de goods issue
7. SPED message creates the Inbound delivery for plant B
8. We make the putaway
9. We make the goods receipt.
The problem here is that HUs arrive to plant B as hierarchical because they are keeping the shipment HU, we notice that the only posibility is to unpack the shipment before Inbound delivery is created or des-assing HU from Inbound delivery, unpack the shipment and re-assing the HUs to the inbound however our customer is not ok with this. Do you know any other option?
We use Hu in the shipment to control double trailer to identify the what is in each one.
Thx.

Hi
========================================================
As far as I understand your description, the scenario you
want to carry out (pack stock transfer deliveries both in shipment and
in delivery) is not supported or at least, an extra step should be
performed.
The fact that TO creation does not work is not the main problem to me.
More important is that after the GR posting, HUs could not be further
used as they would still be packed in the shipment HU. You can test thi
easily using a receiving storage location without WM.
Therefore, I would say the delivery HU should be unpacked from the
shipment before it is assigned to the delivery because after the
assignment, the HUs won't be visible anymore ('delivery-HU' will be
displayed instead) from the shipment.
========================================================
Here are two notes 1025090 and 1029324. Please apply them if they are
not in your system yet. These two notes are to prevent some other error
in your scenario, but not solve the current problem.
Kind regards,
Ramana
