STO Scenario

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I am little bit confused in configuring the STO process between plants of same company code.

My Scenario:

Plant:1000(Supplying Plant)

Plant:1001(Depot)

Plant:1002(Depot)

Plant:1003(Depot)

Goods will transfer from Palnt 1000 to Plant 1001,1002,1003.

I knew that we need to create Supplying Plant(1000) as Vendor.

My confusion is that should i need to create 3 vendors(supplying plant as vendor) or should i need to create only 1 vendor(supplying plant as vendor)

Guide me please!!

with regards

Dear Azeez

There is no vendor concept in intracompany STO

Intracompany STO is represented by purchase order type UB

when you put UB in ME21N the system will say or take it it is supplying plant and will not ask for vendor

Only intercompany STO is represented by purchase order type NB which will ask for vendor

Whenever you put order type NB the system will process it with vendor

But the receiving plant is a customer in the supplying plants sales area applies for both intracompany and intercompany

So with one supplying plant you can process your activities sir

No need of any confusion at all

Yes Azeez

200 % sure

No need to create supplying plant as Vendor in XK01 for intracompany

Go to ME21N input order type as UB

You will find the vendor tab on the right side changing as supplying plant and input your supplying plant no

You can see yourself

So with one supplying plant you can carry out STO's for 3 different plants

Dera Azeez

Good question

In intercompany for your scenario since the supplying plant is the same one vendor is sufficient

That is one vendor that is same vendor will service three customers (three receiving plants)

Hi Azeez Mohammed,

You've got to create internal customers for all the plants and depots and assign in SPRO>Materials management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Set up Stock Transport Order>Define Shipping Data for plants>Click on plant/Depot>details and assign your internal customers here.
