Stock Transport Order vs PO

Hi
Can someone please tell me the advantages of Configuring STO after MRP run as compared to PO creation after MRP runs ?
Is there any advantage to define the system to create STO each time an MRP run is done as compared to PReq->PO definitions ?
Regards

I have never seen a MRP run that can create STOs. A MRP run can create planned orders, requisitions and delivery schedules, but no STO or PO.
In general a STO is created with Me21N, equal to a standard PO. So from the order entry there is no bigger difference.
the advantage is at the shipping plant. If you create STOs , then the shipping plant can directly create outbound deliveries in reference to the STO. if you would create standard orders, then a CSR at the shipping plant would have to enter this PO as a sales order. then a outbound delivery can be created in reference to the sales order.
Using STO you would elimate the sales order step.

Problem in creation of STO(stock transport order)

hi all SAP gurus,
i am facing the problem in creation of stock transport order with ME21N code. i m getting the error msg of "Not possible to determine shipping data for material in STO "
i have checked the stock transport order setup in customization. but not getting the clear idea to come out from this problem.
if anybody have the idea of " how to do the customization of stock transport order setup, pls. let me explain.
thnx in advance.

Hi Rajesh,
when ur creating STO with UB doc type, then you have to maintain material in both the plants.
Regarding the error which is comming for you, you have to check the settings at
SPRO- IMG- MM-Purchasing-Set up stock transport order- Assign delivery type & Checking rule
here for document type UB and your supplying plant-XXXX select nothing for Dlv type(delivery type) and chr - 01 and after this save.
After this you create STO as you are doing and see what the system is prompting.
For any further clarification let me know.

if you only have to display deliveries and stock transport orders you can take LIKP and LIPS for the deliveries and LTAK and LTAP for transport orders.
for all the other elements displayed by MD04 we would have to know about your setup: are you using dispo-areas (which would populate tables MDMA ...) so in that case please provide more information.

Commercial Invoice and Stock Transport Order

Hello Experts,
My client is using stock transport orders which sometimes results in cross border goods movement. I am not able to find any functionality for creating commercial invoices to be used for these types of shipping.
Any ideas?
rgds
GAR

Hi Gar,
Usually when there is a crossing of borders, it is a movement between 2 different companies code, therefore the intercompany purchase is the usual flow.
If you mean that the flow is between plants of the same company code between different countries, maybe you are talking about "Plants abroad" functionality.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/34/60b1a0ae724effe10000009b38f91f/content.htm
Previously, the plants of a company code had to belong to the country of that company code.
As of Release 4.0A, it is possible to deviate from this rule for European company codes with European plants.
I never had to use this functionality at a customer site, but that sounds like your requirement
Also allows internal billing document for intrastat reporting, so feel free to evaluate!

Minimum order qty for Stock transport orders

Hello
I wonder if there is any way to make the following fields from the Sales org 1 view in the material master to apply on Stock transport orders (ME21N, with subsequent delivery created in VL10B):
Minimum order qty
Minimum delivery qty
Delivery unit
As of now in our system, it only works for Sales orders and related deliveries. But not for Stock transport orders with a supplying plant.
Also, if there is any other way to implement minimum order qty funcitonality and delivery for Stock transport orders, pls advice.
Thanks,
OT

Hello
We are in an intracompany business case. The supplying and recieving plant are in the same company.
The situation is as follows: we are planning all replenishment manually without any involvement of MRP.
What we would like to achieve is the same functionality as of the minimum order/delivery quantities material master fields in the material master.
So when the planner creates the stock transfer order, he keys in supplying plant, material and quantity manually, then the warning message about the minimum order qty should appear.
So far I have not found any way to do this. Any ideas are greatfully received.

Table to See Stock Transport Order Partners

Hi All.
What table can I see the partners defined in a Stock Transport Order?
I've realized that VBPA is just for sales order documents.
Thanks,

Select the PO's from the EKKO table of DOCU type "UB" which is STO's
Then Select the parters from the EKPA table for the entries of the selected EKKO Po's
Reward Points if it is Useful.

Proforma Invoice (F8) for Stock Transport Order

With regard to intra-company STO, we have a specific requirement:
Referencing delivery document generated using Xn: VL10B (delivery from Stock Transport Order), we create proforma invoice type F8. Subsequently, excise invoice is created referencing the proforma invoice.We need to capture the material cost plus 10 % of material cost as PR00 value in the invoice.
Problem:
However, here comes the problem: condition type PR00 does not come automaticcally in the proforma invoice, though pricing procedure has PR00 condition type. We have to manually entere the PR00 condition type for every line item (a routine calculates 110% of the value once value is enetered in the manually entered condition)
Is it the standard system behaviour ? Any way out?
with kind regards
Muraleedharan.R

Hi,
Have you maintained the condition records for PR00 , if not than you have to enter it manually at the item level .
If your price is same for all the items than maintain use header condition or else at item level you have to enter PR00 item by item.

I m going to create and transfer stock from p2 to p1.
Here i m using stock transport order with billing(SD)
Purchase org for c1:porg1
Vendor for c1,porg1:v1
I assigned plant p2 in additional purchase data of vendor v1.
Sales area for c2:sorg2,ds2,d2
Customer for sales area(sorg1,ds1,d1):cust1
Now i go to mm->purchasing->purchase order->setup for stock transport order
> for receiving plant p1 i assign cust1,sales area(sorg1,ds1,d1)

>checking rule RP.
i assigned doc.type UB into receiving plant p1 and supplying plant p2.
Then, in ME21N used doc type UB, these r the errors::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

● Vendor master u2013 supplying plant
Create the vendor for the purchasing organization of the receiving plant.
Assign the vendor to the supplying plant in the vendor master record.
From the menu, choose Logistics ® Materials Management ® Purchasing ® Master Data ® Vendor ® Purchasing ® Change (Current). Go to the Purchasing View and choose Extras ® Additional Purchasing Data.
● Customer master u2013 receiving plant
Create a customer master record for the receiving plant. From this, both the address and the data that is relevant for shipping point determination, such as transportation zone and shipping condition are taken.

Plz check this link for tht information.
So, basing on this: I have customer 1 and vendor 1 for CC1......
--> Customer 1 is assigned to the receiving plant with sales area1 in setup STO configuration.
--> Vendor 1 is assigned to the supplying plant in the vendor master.
--> My question for u is:
1) In ME21N, in the vendor field u assign the vendor from CC1 or CC2 (Because it says the vendor - external supplier if u read in F1 in tht vendor filed)
Company code , Purc Org, plant all this will be from CC1 in ME21N, right?????????
Material exists in both the plants P1 and P2.......right?????
2) How to configure the inter - company accounts for the billing in sd for this STO scenario.???
Please clarify these things.....
You will be appreciated and rewarded too.

Commitment Item error in Stock transport order

Hi all
I have a stock transport order (STO) for a material non valuated in both sending and receiving plants.
While creation , there is an error with respect to completion of an "committment item" *.
If I input the committment item in STO create transaction in R3 , the STO is saved (permitting blank account assignment for the STO item as intended) and there is no further issue till post goods issue in sending plant or GR in receiving plant.
The problem is however that this STO is triggered from APO and transferred via CIF to R3 while there is no chance to input the commitment item. This results into a CIF error with the STO not created in both R3 and APO.
Is there a way I could bypass this "committment stuff" in this situation?
Thanks in advance
Anton
*The exact error message is as follows;
" No commitment item entered in item 00001 plant < >
Message no. FI311
Diagnosis
The posted document contains at least one company code in which Funds Management, Cash Budget Management, or Project Cash Management is active. Therefore you must enter a commitment item in all involved company codes.
Procedure
Enter a commitment item.
If you cannot enter a commitment item, check with your system administrator that your account assignment derivation is adjusted so that the system can automatically derive a commitment item from another account assignment, or from the G/L or cost element. "

Hi,
Did you try using derivation rule using FMDERIVE in case funds management is active.
Please also refer to the link below which guides on the item category to be assigned in Commitment item.

Valuation type in case of stock transport order

Hi,
We are spilt valuation.
now we are doing stock transport order and it is asking for valuation type. while we dont want to enter valuation type in STO.
as which material is to sent to plant, we know at that time of delivery.
but during making STO system is asking for 'enter valuation type'.
How we can do the same.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi,
Since you have activated the split valuation for the material system is asking to enter the valuation type.
Check the material master Accounting 1 view whether you have maintained valuation category?
If you want Split valuation, maintain the valuation type in config settings in IMG & extend the material to the respective valuation type.
Hope it helps.
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

Cannot Input Goods Receipt for a Stock Transport Order

Dear all,
I created a stock transport order from one plant to another. But in the following "MIGO" transaction, the system indicates "Document xxxxxxxxx does not contain any selectable items".
In the stock transport order, I simply input the supplying plant, material, the receiving plant for the material. The item category is "U" (Stock Transfer).
Anybody have any idea?
Thanks, Jerome

Hi
What is your process? is it via shipping or via only purchasing?
If it is ony via purchasing, have you moved stock from Supplying plant to stock in transit. Then you can make MIGO.
If it is via shipping, create delivery VL10B and PGI, Then do MIGO.

Srinivas

Delivery costs in stock transport order

Dear SAP experts,
We want to add certain delivery cost in the stock transport order.

Stock Transport Order u2013 Duplicate goods receipt quantity

We implemented the scenario: the stock transport order process with SD. To post the goods issue , we have created a new goods movement type (937) with reference to the movement type: 641, to differentiate these movements of other goods movements that are made in the company, because in this case, for issuing plant it is necessary to manually confirm these goods issues in WM (We need use storage bins in issuing plant). The outbound delivery, in issuing plant, is created through the transaction VL10B with reference to Stock transport Order, and goods issues is posted using transaction VL02N. In receiving plant, we use transaction MIGO to post goods receipt.
Then, when we post the goods receipt for one replenishment delivery in Transaction MIGO, the system issues error message: M7022 telling us: u201Cthat the stock in transit has been exceeded by XXXu201D. The difference between the stock in transit and the Quantity in Unit of Entry is exactly equal to the quantity that was reported in the goods issue in Issuing Plant (outbound delivery). That is, Quantity in Unit of Entry is duplicated with respect to outbound delivery quantity. But if the goods receipt is posted with reference to the stock transport order, the Quantity in Unit of Entry is calculated correctly and corresponds with the quantity of outbound delivery of the issuing plant. This does not happen when using the standard goods movement type 641. As mentioned above, we have configured Warehouse Management for issuing plant.
The only difference between the standard scenario and implemented one in the company is the goods movement type, which is a copy of movement type 641. So, my question is: Can not copy the goods Movement type 641 (Transfer to stock in transit)? Please, I appreciate your support to resolve this issues.
Best regards,

All goods movements are being posted in the same unit of measure (base unit of measure ), since the material has no alternative units of measure configured. And we think that has to do with the movement type, because when using the standard movement type (641), the whole process is flowing properly. However, when using the new movement type, the system behaves the way it was explained earlier.
Through various tests, we identified that the quantity is duplicated when the table T321 (Assignment MM Movement Type --> MM-WM Movement Type) and the IMG view V_156S_WM (Reference Movement Types for Warehouse Management) are set, since it also was created a new movement type for WM. For this reason we think that the problem lies in the configuration of the new movement type.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Overdelivery in intra-company stock transport order

Hello,
I have the following scenario - I have two plants, 1000 and 2000, both under the same company code.
I transfer 450KG of material 123456 from plant 1000 using STO with SD (mvt. type 641), material is packed in HUs. In the receiving plant, the HUs are being place on a weight to check their actual weight. It;s possible for the actual weight be greater than the GI weight of 450KG (for example, due to weight scale accuracy issues) . When doing GR, I need to be able to receive quantity greater than the GI quantity. That is not allowed in stock transport order (per note 212387). For the same scenario with intercompany STO (GI mvt type 643) I'm able to post GR quantity which is greater than GI qty.
Any suggestion on how to solve this? Can I create a customer order type that is both intra-company and allows for overdelivery?
Thanks,
Yossi

a overdelivery does not make any sense in stock transfers, you would solve the problem of the stock accuracy in the receiving plant, but at the same time you create another problem with a negative stock in transit, that never gets cleared.
a STO having stock left in transit is never considered as closed. even intercompany stock transfers are not considered as closed, even you can receive more than issued.
Latest when archiving purchasing documents then you will see all your error in the process design, because only closed business cases can be archived.
in stock transfer business you always have to care about both sides, you cannot just care about the receiving plant and ignore the problems of the sending plant.
