Sales order processing instead of STO

[Former Member]

Hello SD gurus,

We are having an issue here and need your expert opinion / advice on how to make this scenario work.

Stock transport orders is a big concern at our client and no one likes it for the way it works, in terms of schedule line confirmations and availability check . We are trying to make this work through the sales order route and having issues.

Steps:

• 1) Create order with sold-to and ship-to as ‘plant as customer’ (receiving plant)
• 2) Line item plant would be the supplying plant
• 3) Create delivery and post goods issue which posts into stock in transit
• 4) Goods receipt at receiving plant (either automatic or manual). Here is the challenge. We are unable to post a goods receipt with reference to the outbound delivery. How do we take the stock into the receiving plant from in-transit? Do we need a special movement type created or is there a standard way?

We have tried several options but none of them work. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Amit

Hi,

using Standard SO/PO route, is like normal customer and vendor relation.

for the process simplification use auto PO creation or Auto Sales order creation with the help of Standard  Idoc funcatinality.

and Use AUTO MIGO functionality for Goods receipt.

even we have used the same functionality for the Purpose of the GR.
