Intercompany STO vs Sale-Purchase

[Former Member]

Hi,

What advantage does Intercompany STO provide over Sale-Purchase between two co. codes. As far as steps are concerned - there is not much difference. Are there advantages from accounting point of view ?

Why MIGO and MIRO are reqd. in intercompany STO?

Thanks

Hi,

Advantages? You save steps, ie. clerical work. For instance, with the PO you save one document. It works as a PO for the buyer and as SO for the plant provider. From this PO you can create a delivery with VL10B or VL10D.

You can manage the stock in transit. So, you need to run MIGO. Why MIRO? You need to invoice deliveries too (VF01/VF04).

I hope this helps you

Regards
