Hello Surya,
For STO the following steps can be performed.
You need to have 1 company code + 2 plants assigned to them
Supose co.code is  Z01 and your plants are X and Y.
X- is Supplying Plant
Y-is Recieving plant
You should have 1 material under Supplying plant and should be extended to Recieving plant .
One customer which should be maintained under recieving and supplying plant.
Maintain shipping conditions and delivering plant in XD02 which is vital.
Now the steps are.
First step
Go to OLME-Purchase order - set up STO- Define shipping data for plants
or you can also follow path which is
IMG-mm-purchase-purchase order--set up STO
Here you need to ender the sales area details i.e your sales organisation, distribution channel, division and the plant details.
Second Step
Define Checking rule: you can use standard one or you can define your own one
Third Step
Assign Delivery type to checking rule
Here you need to assign delivery types to checking rule like NB-NLCC- and suppose checking rule is B
and for UB-NL-and checking rule could be B
_Fourth Step_
Assign document types wheather it is one step
like X-Y-UB
once you have gone throught these steps and saved at every step then raise purchase order ME21N save it.
for delivery do VL10B, and here dont forget to add document data, and save it.
Now do the MIGO whose movement type is 301.
All these steps are there one after by one
I think this are basic step which you should follow to do STO.
If I have missed any thing please do not ignore, instead correct.

Sridhar.
