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

Diference between STO and Shipment order?

Hi All ,
There are two plants , one is manufacturing and other is sales . In sales plant sales order is created and after MRP run Purchase requisition is created(for getting materisl from production plant) . In me59 we convert this Preq to shipment order.
1)Can oyu please tell me whant is diference between STO and shipment order?
2) Can you tell me what is the configuration to avoid creation of shipment order and system will only create the STO from Preq after executing Me59?
Thanks

Hi Chavan,
Starting with "Shipmnt Order" definition => (from SAP Help):
   An order to a transportation service provider to ship goods from a shipper to a single consignee with agreed terms and conditions. The corresponding confirmation from the transportation service provider is also part of the business object.
   You can use this business object to subcontract the transportation of goods from a shipper to a single consignee if you cannot fulfill a shipment request yourself or if you regularly subcontract transportation services.
   You can also use this business object in the process of transportation service provider selection and tendering. The aim of both processes is to assign a suitable transportation service provider (TSP) to a shipment order.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_tm60/helpdata/en/66/dda98bb6b64c30b925f031bb0a2023/content.htm
STO is just Stock Transport Order => functionality to move stock from one plant to another plant in two steps( inclidung GI in the sending plant and GR in the receiving plant).
Usuall documnt flow in the STO process => PO(UB or NB order type), delivery, GI -> GR (done via migo for example).
I believe that you can avoid cration of the Shipmnt order via correct selection on ME59 screen. Just something what is characteristic for STO and not for Shipmnt Orders.

Freight capitalization for STO process using shipment cost document

Dear MM experts
I have been testing and trying to charge freight to material using transportation module. I know how to do it in simple STO process without SCD (shipment cost document) but I am not able to do it with SCD.
I have searched and tried every link I found on SCN. Unfortunately there are many open threads and non of them is answered or giving complete solution. For example I have tried this link where Ajit Kumar has explained the scenario in detail I am but unable to achieve my result. I have also tried other links and SAP note 427944 as well.
Now what thing confusing me is accounting entries and documents/steps where these accounting entries will be posted.
My current process is like this in plant to plant transfer under same company code
STO > OBD > Shipment Document > PGI > Accouting Entry with 641 movement type. Material account debit and same account credit. > Shipment Cost document > GR with 101 without any accounting entry > Transfer freight cost to FI using Freight Service PO determination > Accounting Entry Freight Outward Expense Debit and Freight Clearing Account Credit > MIRO > Accounting Entry Freight Clearing Debit and Vendor Credit
As you can see we are booking freight as an expense and not charging to material. Now what I want is that freight should be charged to material. If I am sending material from plant P000 to plant P201 under same comapny code then freight charges should be added in material cost in plant P201.
I have done FRB1 condition type with accrual and copy shipment cost tick mark and other stuff suggested in all those threads but it is not working.
My requirement is to understand the points where and what accounting entries will be created as per my new scenario which is same as old one except one difference which is to charge freight to material instead of booking expense in freight service PO.
Lets take an example that material cost price is 100 and freight charges is 50. Now as per old threads at the time of GR against OBD system will create accounting document with 150 debiting the stock in plant P201. What about credit? If we have added freight here then what about 2nd accounting entry in my first scenario in which freight expense is debited and clearing account is credited? Could anyone please explain accounting entries and points where these entries will be posted?
Another thing is that is it only possible with moving average price to charge freight to material or can we do this with standard price as well using some standard or customized solution?
Detailed and easy to understand answer will be highly appreciated.
Thank$

Hi Moazzam ;
Firstly, you can benefit Badi/s in package VTRA which is given belowed.
Secondly , i think that shipping method --> create sto with delivery --> create shipment document and shipment cost document (problem is starting so system will be create PO and service entry sheet automatically , can you try shipment document is non-related with cost document.
Thirdly , you can post invoices charge to material with miro , if you success to direct freight costs to stock account (BSX).
Also , you can benefit doc. sap behaviours for Std price/ Map --> Planned & unplanned delivery costs in mm
I hope , you can manage your process ; for me standart way is the best.

Shipment Cost for an STO/ Outbound Delivery

Hello All,
We are trying to configure shipment cost for STO. We are facing an issue as explained below. Let me know if anyone of you faced a similar issue and if you have ideas for the fix -
In our scenario the Shipment cost calculation is done on the following basis -
1) Flat Rate - For example for transporting of goods from new york to atlanta.
I did complete the configuration for shipment cost and I am able to get shipment cost in the STO. Here is an example of where I am stuck -
1. I created outbound delivery # 1 (partial quantity) for the sto (with 2 line items). When I create shipment cost document, it allocates the shipment cost to the 2 line items proportionately. eg. 100$ is distributed as 50$ each.
2. Now, when I create a new outbound delivery #2 for the rest of the quantity and try to create shipment cost, it distributes based on the ratio of the quantity shipped. This is how it distributes -
(Quantity shipped in OBD#2/ Total STO Quantity) * Shipment cost from first OBD (=50$).
What we want is the exact distribution of 50$ for the second OBD as well.
Appreciate your help!!
Thanks in Advance

Got it....SAP NOTE - 907632 fixed the issue.

Program running fine in Debug mode but failing in direct execution

Hi All,
I am facing a peculiar problem, I have created a report that create STO then Delivery and then Shipment one after one. I have used BAPI to do so. If STO creation is successful then Create Delivery and if delivery creation is also successfull then create Shipment.
When I run this program by pressing execute button it is only creating STO and coming out ,but if I run it in Debug mode I get all the three( STO, Delivey,Shipment). Since it run fine in debug so I can't found where the problem is.
Can any one help???
Regards
Hemant

Hi guys,
A learning for me .... how important WAIt parmeter is in commit work .. Initially i have not set WAIT paramater in commit BAPI to X due to this further processing.. Delivery and Shipment creation was failing in direct execution ... as after STO creation I was reding EKPO and that was failing in direct execution , but in backgroung everything was ok.
Thanks for your time.

Shipment HU in STO scenario

Hi experts,
Is there a shipment type to use or something to have a shipment that can be load in one plant and unload in the other plant in a STO scenario
Thanks

Hi Mariana,
In a Stock transfer scenario, a transport order is created followed
by a replenishment delivery (outbound). Then a outbound transport
is needed in VT01n.

Shipment of Free Item alongwith Parent Item (STO,Warehouse Picking and PGI)

Hi Experts,
In Retail industries Vendor/Company promote offers to customer free items along with Saleable Product so increase footfalls and basket value. In case there is free item with parent item, PO will be created accordingly as free item. Is there any standard method so that for certain period while creating STO/Picking/PGI when we select Parent Item automatically Free Item should be added and picking document contains the free item to pick.

Hi Vijay
By changing storage location you could do b'coz the new storage location is not maintained with warehouse, hence no need to perform warehouse transactions (TO creation and confirmation) before inventory mgmt transactions (PGI).
For trying pick up with WH, first u should have enough stocks in approppriate storage bins and u should perform pick up by creation of TO and confirmation.
warm regards

Creation of Sales Order throogh Intercompany STO

Dear SAP Gurus,
I have a question
In the intercompany stock trasnport orders.As per the standard process
i) Creation of STO
ii) Creation of replenishment delievry.
iii) Goods Issue from the supplying plant.
iV) Good receipt at the receiving plant.
Our requirement is to create a sales order through IDOC in place of delivery at the delivering company code.
All the subsequent docuements like delivery and shipment will be based on this newly created sales order.
I want to know primarily that is there anyway of creating a sales order instead of Delievery subsequent to creation of STO.
IF so how can we disable the SAP standrad process ( Std Intercompany STO process) and enable our requirement.
A quick response is highly appreciated.
Regards
Ganesh

Hi,
You can create sales order in the background while creating intercompany purchase order.
By using BAPI BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1.
Ask your technical team to desing.

STO's appearing in ME2N

I have 2 STO's which are appearing on ME2N report at the top Both orders were cancelled by us and the quantities reduced to 0 Pallets.
The shipments have been completed at the plant and according to us they have been received at the other plant. The stock is not in MB5T the transit report and the STO's are not in MD04.
Can you delete them from ME2N? they are still showing?

Hi,
If you have activated deletion indicator for the POs then go to ME2N, here click on "Dynamic Selection" button (Shift + F4)
and Open "Purchasing Document Item" and under this double click on "Deletion indicator " and enter value as not equal to "L" and then execute the report.
OR after executing the report put a filter on Deletion Indicator column and restrict the PO's with value "L" in this column and save the layout as default.

Delivery related problem in STO

Dear All,
While doing STO (Stock Transfer Order) we have raised 4 Purchase Orders (POs) among which it is observed later on that in one of the PO for one of the material the valuation type is not extended in the recipient plant.Still 4 deliveries and one single shipment is done with reference to the 4 deliveries,and we know that after shipment PGI is automatically done for 3 deliveries just excluding the delivery order where the material valuation type is not extended for one material.Inspite of this a single proforma invoice is raised & saved with reference to all the 4 deliveries including the delivery where for one of the item the valuation type is not extended in the recipient plant& even PGI is not done for that delivery.
Please suggest any step to control this situation where the system will not allow to create any delivery,shipment& PGI & finally proforma invoice if any of the vital information like material valuation type is not extended for the material in the recipient plant.
Looking forward to some valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards

On double clicking on the item level, respective item details of the material is displayed and then click SHIFT+ F6 to see the COSTCENTER in the shipement cost document.
Configuration:
1) In Item category configuration account assigment category is Cost Center.
Logistics Execution>Transportation>Shipment Costs>Shipment Cost Document>Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories-->Define item categories
2) In the Transaction code OKB9 Costcenter is assigned to the company code , in order to automate the determination of CO assignments in case of Shipment cost document creation

Freight in STO

Dear Experts
Non valuated material is transferred to another plant via stock transfer order. We have used FRB1 condition in STO with FRE and FR1 keys.
In this transaction we want to post freight cost to one of our expense account (GR/IR freight vend account) at the time of Goods issue. How to customized this assignment.
Please guide.
Thanx in advance
Kailash

Hi Kailash,
Since material is non Valuated it is not required to mainatin the fright on PO itself.
The batter would be to use SD-Transpotation (shipment costing) customization and accure the fright as per your requirement.
you may check the below mentioned link, for any challange do write.

STO ( stor. loc. to stor. loc of same plant ) creation frm Sales Order

Hello guys
I am facing a unique scenario in our current environment. Need you input ASAP
environment:
Org 1 - Plant 1 - division 1
Org 2 - Plant 2 - division 2
Org 1 wants to take over the sales of all the items belonging to division 2 which are currently being sold by Org 2.
These items are HAWA and their procurement is currently done outside ECC.
Now the procurement of these items will continue to be done by Org 2 & even its inventory will be owned by Org 2.
Proposed Sales Flow:
1) Org 1 accepts Order for the item with Plant as Plant 2
2) Plant 2 Delivers the goods to customer
3) Org 1 invoices the customer
4) Org 2 invoices Org 1 using Intercompany billing.
Now the challenge is wrt step 2.
The Items are shipped from Plant 2 with their Issuing storage location as ABC.
However these items are initially stocked in a different building outside the Plant 2 .. say stor. location = XYZ
Now based on the Sales Requirements due for shipment today .. the users will move the Inventory of the items from Stor. Location XYZ to ABC for which they want some reference document for the move (which I have recommended as STO)
I have come across some threads which give input regarding triggerring STO from Sales Order.
However my challenge is the STO in this case is between 2 storage locations ABC & XYZ of the same plant.
Do you think Sales Order triggering a PR (similar to 3rd Party scenario) & then this PR converts to a STO work ?
Please let me know the steps if possible.
THanks
Vin

Well actually the Selling Org ABCD is of a different Company code .. it is a typical case of Intercompany Sales .. where the Plant WXYZ is belonging to another company code.
I have setup the Intercompany Sales Process .. and want to trigger the Stock movement as mentioned above.
I have configured the STO for storage location - stor. location in a Plant. ...
However I am struggling to trigger a STO from a Sales Order.
I tried using the Schedule Lines to trigger a Pur. Req ... however the Supplying Plant field remains blank (which is the same in this case as it is a stock movement between 2 locations of the same plant).
The flow looks somewhat like this
Sales Order -
> Stock Transfer PR in Plant WXYZ -
> Delivery Doc for the STO --- > MIGO to receipt the inventory in 0001 -
> Delivery DOc for Sales Order -
> Invoice for end customer --- > Intercompany Invoice
If anyone has automated creation of a STO from a Sales Order .. please advice
Thanks
Vin

Goods receipt for shipment

Hi All,
We have a scenario wherein our client when they buy intra/inter company have a special way of sending and receiving goods.
What they do is that when one plant is sending materials to other by 'ocean' a container is loaded with materials from multiple POs. When the container is ready a shipment number is generated and stuck onto the container. Then the receiving plant posts a GR against the shipment number thus saving a lot of time on posting GRs for several different POs. As soon as the shipment number is entered while posting GR it lists down all the materials in the container which is then only physically verified for quantity. One container may contain material from more than 10 different POs with multiple lines.
In future when they have implemented SAP these will be multiple STOs. Does anyone know of any standard SAP solution for this scenario?
Regards,
V S

My client have almost same scenario. I think this should help you.
This scenario require two step stock transfer.
DO GI from plant for material present in PO's refering Shipment number. So only one article doc will be generated for one container which have ,material from different PO's.
Now at time of GR, use article doc instead of PO and again refer same shipment number in article slip feild.
In case of doubt please provide more details about your exact requirement.
