STO - Cross Company
Hi All
Please explain the Process and configuration for Cross Company STO
Regards
Jagadish
Stock transfer order is possible between plant..nt b/w co.code....
And if you want stock transfer b/w co.code then its possible....its same as wht we do for plant to plant only
during the stock transfer, two accounting documents are created in addition to the material document:
An accounting document for the removal from storage at the issuing company code
An accounting document for the placement into storage at the receiving company code
The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.
To display the value of the cross-company-code stock in transit with a report, choose Environment --> Stock --> Stock in transit Cc.

Problem with STO-cross company code
hi,
I am configuring STO process for cross company code( plants in different company code). I have done all the config. When creating the PO i am entering the supplying plant, i am getting the error "Purchasing organisation xxxx is not responsible for Plant YYYY". Could some one pls. suggest what may be the problem?
Thanks & Regards,
Pathanjali BhatHi Pathanjali,
For cross company STO, the prerequiste is.
1.0 You have to create a customer in SUPPLYING PLANT and assign to RECEIVING PLANT.
ex: for plant:3000, sales org:3000,dist. chanl:12, divn:00.
and assign to plant:1000 in spro sto setting.
( **maintain shipping notification**)
2.0 Create a vendor in receiving plant .
3.0 Here doc type:NB.
4.0 Maintain supl. plant rec. plnt. and doc type in spro.
5.0 Maintain del type: NLCC.
6.0 Maintain supplying plant in vendor master in purchasing tab>extras> add.purchasing details--> maintain supplying plant here.
Create a PO .
enter vendor which u have created.
ex u r procuring for plant 3000.
maintain pur org, cocode 3000, here ( I think u might have done a mistake here).
maintain plant 3000 in item details tab.
enter the matl. price and qty and check the status.
If every thing ok save.
Then
go to VL10B, maintain del. date (should be before than ur delivery date in PO)
press F8.
ur po line item comes.
select the line item press back ground button
one more line item wil comes.
select any line item, press log. u wil get new screen.
place a cursor on that and press doc details button,
system shows the delevery note. make a note of no. come to LT03.
maintain required fields, select back ground processing. and select 2 below that field( ie pick and post) and press enter.
system picks and post the doc.
now check in PO history. 641 mvt has taken or not?
if not do once again LT03.
Rewert back if any clarification.
Reward if useful.

Cross Company STO w/billing through 3rd Company Code
We have the following situation with our Plants and Company Codes:
1) Company Code 1, Plant 1 (Manufacturing and Distribution), US
2) Company Code 2, Plant 2 (Manufacturing), Asia
3) Company Code 3, Plant 3 (Distribution), Europe
We are implementing functionality to move product directly from our Manufacturing Plants to our new DC. Product can be directly shipped from Plant 2 to Plant 3, but the invoice must flow through Company Code 1 due to legal reasons. This is only an invoicing requirement as they are not required to ever u201Cownu201D the stock (no transfer of ownership).
The solution being proposed right now utilizes 2 Cross-Company STOs (both with Delivery and Invoicing - NB and NLCC). This would involve creating an STO that would move product from Plant 2 to Plant 1 (invoicing between CCode2 and CCcode1), and then a 2nd STO (Cross Company) moving Product from Plant 1 to Plant 3 (invoicing between CCode1 and CCode3). However, the product would never physically arrive in Company Code 1/Plant 1. This is a "virtual" movement to meeting the invoicing requirements. I see this option as complicated logistically and probably requiring customization to keep the documents in sync and provide visibility to their relationship with each other.
I have spent a lot of time researching the forums, Wiki, etc. to see if there is an SAP Standard/Best Practice for the process of moving the Product (once produced) directly to the DC but invoicing via another (3rd) Company Code. It seems that many manufacturing companies must face this same situation. I just want to be sure forcing another complication in the Supply Chain is the best way to meet the financial requirements or if there might be a better option out there that others have implemented. Our goal is to simplify and optimize the Supply Chain, so it seems it just should be easier to meet this financial requirement than forcing Goods Movements in and out of a Plant and creating additional documents.
Does anyone have experience with this situation (Product sent directly between 2 entities, but billed through a 3rd entity) that they could comment on what is considered u201CBest Practiceu201D for this?Hi,
I want to share one idea that during STO between company code 2&3, you need to createvendor master record in 3 company code. During creation of venor master create invoicing party (IP) as company code 1. Then invoice will be paid to company code 1.
Another solution is third party scenario. Any way this is intercompany STO, SOME WHAT RESEMBLES EXTERNAL PROCUREMENT INTERMS OF PAYMENT. Why can't you go for third party scenario. In this treat the company code 3 as customer and company code 2 as supplier of the material. Company code is the actual vendor, but orders the msterial from company code2. Company code2 directly delivers the materail to 3 and in company code 1 can do invoice. If required logical MIGO can br done. Hope it helps you. Thanking you. -
Subcontracting cross company code
Hello,
I didn´t find a standard way to handle the following scenario:
Plant A creates an intercompany purchasing document item category L for subcontracting with header material S and supplier 1 which is intercompany for Plant B (another company code).
Plant A provides material P to Plant B with transaction ME2O and delivery.
The goods issue with reference to delivery creates special stock material provided to supplier on plant level for plant level (quantity and value).
Works all fine so far -->standard subcontracting procedure
My Question:
How should Plant B post goods receipt:
Background:
The goods receipt would lead to doubling material quantity (stock available in Plant A and in Plant B) and double valuation.
Plant B needs to create production order to produce S and P as component.
Any Ideas ?
Your help is very apreciated
Cheers
ThomasHi,
But if the two plants are in different company codes then the STO can use Billing and profits etc. so that the revenue can be managed as you need it.
By using STOs with billing, the system treats the supplying plant as a vendor and the reciving plant as a customer anyway. But the whole process is much easier because you treat them as stock transafers and yet get the benefit of the profit / loss and billing functions.
You rellay do need to read up on the use of STOs cross-company (too much detail for this thread). There may even be some help on the first thread on this forum.
I think that you will be pleasantly surprised at the benefits to the whole process if you explore this option fully. The STOs are "easy" to maintain, the movements and consumptions etc. also follow basic real-world logic and the accounting is DEFINITELY as the auditors would want to see it.
If your plants were set up incorrectly and were within the same company code, then these options would not be available to you (because the SAP system does not allow you to break financial rules and cause audit problems, you cannot have a profit from a transfer within the same legal entity). But is your case you have got the structure correct (many people don't) and so I would recommend that you exploit this standard SAP functionality to your benefit.
Short or long-term, you will realise the benefits, go down the suncontracting route for this solution and your users will have messy functions and will not have the kind of reporting and exnquiries that they will definitely need.
It is up to you, subcontracting is not "wrong" as such and you could get it to work, but it will certainly not be the best solution (by far)

Problem in GRN while Capturing Excise Invoice in Cross Company STO Scenario
Dear All,
In the Cross Company STO Scenario we are following the steps as below:-
1.) Creation of the purchase order to the supplying plant of type u201CNBu201D
2.) Creation of the Outbound delivery in VL10B
3.) Post Good Issue in the VL02N.
4.) Creation of the billing doc.
5.) Creation of the Excise Invoice.
6.) MIGO w.r.t to the Outbound delivery in the receiving plant
During MIGO ,initialy system is picking the excise rates and excise base value by its own from the purchase order and the moment when we refer the Excise Excise Invoice created in the supplying plant , system takes the Excise rates from the excise invoice created in the supplying plant and Excise Base value is becoming ZERO and we are getting the error :u201D *Please check excise base for the item is ZERO
Message no : 4F121
Please Suggest what to do and why this error is coming.
When I am giving any other Excise no is the Excise Invoice feild in MIGO , it is taking and refering the rates in PO and giving one information message that Excise invoice no is different from the supplying plant excise invoice no.
Thanks & Regards
NitinHI,
Check the excise base vlaue in the Supplying plant excise invoice. If its 0, maintain the assessible value in J1ID & Check.
If everything is found OK, check if any SAP notes are available.
Thanks & Regards, -

Error in cross company STO scenario
Hi All,
We have a cross company STO scenario. When I try to create the PO (document type NB) I get an error that
"Customer XYZ does not exist (please change entry in plant ABCD)"
I have rightly assigned the customer XYZ to the plant ABCD as required in the IMG node Set up for stock transport order. Also the customer XYZ has been created. But I don't know why the system gives this error even when the customer has been created properly.
After debugging I found that this is because of some missing value in the field CCOMP (Stock tranfer category) in the EKPO table.
What is this stock transfer category? Am I missing some configuration here?
Regards,
V SHi,
Please check the following details;
Material should exist in both the plants (Delivering & Ordering),
Internal customer should be assigned to the ordering plant ( MM -> Purchasing -> 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 assaign the supply source ( Delivering Plant).
Create a puchase order ME21N ---> Save

One more Process
STO CONFIG:
The following steps have to be followed in order to configure stock transport order between two plants.
1. Create a vendor for the Company code of the receiving plant using account group 0007
via T-Code XK01.
2. In the purchasing data view assign the supplying plant and the schema group
3. Create customer with the sales area of the vendor.
4. The shipping conditions, the delivering plant and the transportation zone determine the
route in the STO.
5. In the pricing procedure determination relevant to the STO assign document pricing
procedure and customer pricing procedure to get the pricing in the invoice.
6. Maintain condition records for pricing condition.
7. Maintain carrier as a partner in the customer master.
8. In OMGN select the supplying plant and assign the company code and sales area.
Similarly select the receiving plant and assign the company code and sales area (The
company code to which the plant is assigned to).
9. Assign the delivery type and checking rule to the document type.
10. And finally, assign the purchasing document type to the supplying plant and the
receiving plant.
11. Create the STO using T-Code ME 21N and save.
12. Check for release strategy if any and release using T-Code ME 28.
13. Create delivery in background using VL10G.
14. If delivery is created, it is an indication of correct configuration and master data
creation.

Allocation table - cross company STO
Hi,
I tried to create allocation table for cross company STO, with item category E "E PO via DC (NB - cross company code)" . However when i save the allocation table with below error. I set the DC and vendor same code. Pls advice
Thanks
Distribution center 0000004001: Vendor 0000004001 and distribution center 0000004001 are identicalHi,
I am assuming that you are generating PO as follow on document from Allocation Table. In that case use external vendor instead of DC as Vendor. Hope this will clear your issue. Thanks! -
Using PO or DO as reference during STO and STO return - cross company
Hi,
May I have your valuable input of which of the following are the best practise in term of the two business process:
A - cross company stock transport order during goods receipt, and,
B - cross company stock return order during goods receipt
FYI, I am talking about two-steps procedure (i.e. movmt type 643 and 101)
Question:
For A -
During Goods rececipt will it be BEST to use a purchasing order OR the outbound delivery order as a reference?
My gut feeling is using outbound delvery document as reference, but what is the underlying reason to do this, why not PO?
For B -
During Goods rececipt will it be BEST to use a purchasing order OR the outbound delivery order as a reference?
My gut feeling is using PO document as reference, but what is the underlying reason to do this, why not delivery order?
I read the SAP help portal, it said in return process, it is best use PO because of this statement (i.e. Do not post with reference to the delivery, so that the delivery for the stock transport order is not updated), which I don't quick get it.
Hope you can shed some light.
thanks
tuffHi,
If your PO (sto) is of 100 quantities and the outbound delivery is created for only 80 quantities, So when you do a GR against outbound delivery you will be doing directly for 80 quantities. But if you are doing it against the PO, all the 100 quantities will show up and then you have to manually reduce the 20 quantities.
For the return process there may be a constraint as when you do a return against delivery it may not open the PO but when you do it against PO it would be updated and can be seen in the PO history and you can also see the open po quantity.
More inputs on this are welocme.
Thanks,

Cross company STO with thirt party sales
Hi,
In cross company STO while creating the delivery in vl10b I am getting the delivery created with zero quantity(with quantity 10 in the po) and a service acceptance document is created.Clarify what setting i am missing .
Also need the process flow of cross company sale with third party sales process.
ThanksHello
You should use transaction CO09 to check ATP situation,with checking rule B
for deliveries.
If there is enough ATP quantity a delivery can be created. Please check
using transaction CO09 with checking rule B, also please review attached
Notes 123500 and 89362.
Please also check note 848739: ATP check incorrect with delivery for
purchase order as a posssible solution.
hope this helps,

Dear Sir/Madam,
Currently, i am working on a cross company STO and Third Party process.
This involves in the following:
1. Company (CN001) needs to purchase some materials from Company (SIN001).
Note: Both Company (SIN001) and Company (CN001) under same organization (Client). Both companies are using SAP.
2. Company (SIN001) creates a Sales order to Company (CN001).
3. Company (SIN001) purchases material from external vendor (VD001). Company (SIN001) requires to purchase from external vendor since the company does not produce.
At this scenaior, company (SIN001) will NOT perform any Goods Receipt from vendor (VD001). Instead, the material will ship to Company (CN001).
Question:
1. Can Company (CN001) creates a cross company STO order to Company (SIN001)?
2. Can Company (SIN001) create a Third Party Sales Order to Company (CN001)?
3A. Will system trigger Third Party PR after Company (SIN001) runs MRP?
B. Can Company (SIN001) convert PR to Third Party order (Purchase order) with item category 'X' without Goods Receipt?
4. How do Company (CN001) goods receipt materials from Vendor (VD001)? Using which document?
A. Cross - Company STO purchase Number
B. Sales order which issues by Company (SIN001)?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Rgds,
Esther Chong
2.Hi Esther,
If you use the third party scenario, you don't need STO, and vice versa.
In the 3-d party scenario, C issues a regular PO to S, and S creates a third party SO, AS IF THEY WEREN'T WORKING IN THE SAME SYSTEM.
From that point on you follow the 3-d party standard process (SAP). The only disadvantage being that the process run decoupled, meaning that you have to issue the invoice by S and received it by C manually.
MRP is not involved in this process in S, only in C.
Alternatively, you can run an STO scenario, but for this a GR from purchasing in S must take place, even if it's a virtual one. MRP is involved in this case both in C and S.

Shipping a configurable material on a cross company STO
I would like to know if there is any way that a configurable system can be shipped on a cross company STO. I set up the STO with account assignment category of M and assigned the sales order so that the cost could be retrieved. But when I try to deliver it, there is no option to deliver it with a special stock indcator of E. Is it possible to add this to the movement type used for the cross company STO(type 643)?
Hi Jud,
Yes it is very much possible to ship Configurable material through Intercompany STO, Please set up your mvmt type 643 in OMWN , with 643 spl stock E with value and qty update, Consumption key E, Val String WA01, with one Transaction event key for GBB with account modifier VKA , and another line with same setting but transaction key PRD with account modifier PRA.
Similarly 101 should also be setup but since you are using Sales order stock already so I believe it wud be set up.
