Here are my 2 cents

If you were to use standard Sales order / Purchase order process instead of STO, this is what will happen,

1. MRP generated Purchase requisition could be assigned to any vendor (external or internal.)

There is no way to prevent assignment to a external supplier. With item category U used in STO, Purchase req can be

converted to a STO only and not to a normal purchase order.

2. User will have to create two deliveries. One outbound from supply plant and other inbound at receiving plant.

3. there will no visibility of stock in transit.

4. SAP would trigger inspection type 01 instead of type 08. Usually 01 inspection is more stringent.

5. I am sure there would be accounting impact also.
