Hi,

You can post both transfer postings and stock transfers in the SAP system. Transfer postings differ from stock transfers, in that transfer postings are not connected with a physical goods movement. They usually involve a change in stock type, batch number, or material number.

An example of transfer posting is the release from inspection into the company's own stock.

Refer following link for further details;

hi,

In stock transfer the goods are moved physically....while in transfer posting the there is no goods movement.....

Transfer functions move materials either from one storage location to another (stock transfer) or to make changes to the stock type, batch number, or material number (posting change).

It can be done with the help of STO also...

Check the link for more details:

HI

As per SAP Stock transfer deal with the physical mocement of stocks from one plant to another or one storage location to another or from one company code to another.

Whereas transferposting is just logical movement of stocks from one location to another for better tracibility in SAP and better reports can be drawn for the mangement. For example one storage location to another, Material to material. Stock posted to vendor through 541 etc
