Difference bet SD_STO & MM_STO

[reazuddin_md]

Hai,

as we all know,

that we can transfer the stock by SD route (STO -del- PGI & GR) & MM route ( with diff movement types )

in both process material doc & accounting doc's will be generated.

is there any specific reason to create STO process in SD route?

can any1 plz?

Yes in both the cases, accounting document would be generated but in MM route, you have some contraints if you see from FI side.

Receiving plant will raise a PO on supplying plant with some rate but it is not necessary that delivering plant should supply at the same rate. They would be transferring the goods at a higher rate and the difference in transfer price cannot be adjusted from FI side and it will be hanging. You have to make some adjustments to set right this.

So if you go through SD, this issue will be addressed as you would be raising the invoice and the receiving plant will get debited to that extent.

thanks

Hi there,

1 reason that I can find is in MM STO is created for raw materials. That may be for manufacturing or assembling.

In SD, STO is created for finished goods. To transfer finished goods from one plant to another if the customer orders material that is not there in the oirdering plant.

Dear,

As per my view,

For finish good we use SD_STO.

Process of SD_STO : -

1.Create a vendor for the company code of receiving plant, using account group :0007 using T-Code XK01.

2. Assign this vendor to Delivering plant

Go to XK02 >Purchasing view>Extras>Add. Purchasing data>Plant

3. Create internal customer with the sales area of the vendor. Go To XD01

4. In Pricing procedure determination relevant to STO, assign document Pricing Procedure and customer pricing procedure appropriate for STO to get the pricing in the invoice.

5. Maintain condition records for the relevant pricing condition.

6. Some more setting for STO: Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO> define shipping data for plants > Go to Receiving plant >assign customer here & Supplying SA (for billing) to Receiving plant here

7. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO> define shipping data for plants > Go to Supplying plant and assign the sales area of receiving plant.

8. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO> assign delivery Type & Checking rule

Assign the delivery type to document type. In this case, Delivery type NLCC is assigned to Document type NB

9. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO>Assign document Type, One step Procedure, Under delivery tolerance

Assign the document type NB to supplying plant and receiving plant

10. After all settings , Create the STO using T-Code:ME21N and Save.

11. Create Delivery :VL10G

Click on the Background Button after selecting line item

A message is flashed : See log for information> next Click on Log for delivery creation Button >click on line item>click on document button to get Delivery document No

12. Picking, PGI:VL02N

13. Billing:VF01

In case of SD_STO we put excise detail.

MM_STO is used for extenal procurement of material

Process of MM_STO: -

Create STO - ME21N

Create Good issue : - MIGO - good issue against STO.

Create Good receipt: - MIGO - good receipt against STO

Here process is close.

And no excise will put.

MM_STO is used fro internal plant only while SD_STO is used for internal plant to C&F and CA plants.
