Hi Ganesh,

Some examples:

1. 3rd party:

It is used in a scenario when your company does not manufacture the said product and it outsources from others. Say you are delare for Samsung TV's all sizes, one of the customer wants a SONY 52" LCD TV. you dont have it in your range so to satisfy the customer you will accept the customer order and in turn place a order on other dealre who will suplly the said product on your behalf.

You can think many such scenarios based on your functional exp.

2. Stock Transfer:

If your company has a group of companies, one your sister company wants some product as they require it for their internal use / sell it. Then you will have to sell the material to the sister company. the price at which you will sell will be at your cost price and hence you will have seperate intercompany pricing procedure and intercompany price. It is not a actual selling to customer and you dnt want to pay tax to govt, so no taxing is invloved. SInce the costing/profit and loss statements for each company are maintained sepeartely and you company by sending material (each finished product is a asset) so you will need to map this as sales only. to do this you will create a STO and complete the cycle.If company code is same then it is called STo and if Company code is different then it is Cross Company Sales.

For same company Code you want to transfer material from one plant to another then it is STO

From INdia PLant (1 Company Code) you want to send some material to US Plant (2 Company Code) then it is cross company sales.

4. Back Order Processing:

In siple terms it is processing all Old Pedning orders which are not yet delivered due to non-availability of materials.

Backorder processing is a functionality in SAP where you can change the committments and over-ride the blockage of stocks

marked against sales documents/deliveries. For e.g. you receive an order from a very important customer for material "A" but

the entire quantity of A is committed to another customer "B" via earlier sales orders and this is where BACKORDER processing helps you to change the committment and shift stock due for B to A. This is the benefit of this funtionality.

Reward if it helps
