Purchase scenario

[former_member193027]

Hi.

In sap standard integration content for shipper scenario, its specified that for setting up STO scenario we need to create inbound delivery as std process. However if we just need to create purchasing scenario using normal purchase order what should be the process then i.e in normal PO scenario we do GR instead of inbound delivery.

Dear,

If you look at MM point of view,STO have,

1) Goods issue at supplying Plant

2) Goods Receipt at Receiving Plant

If you have excise part involved , then we need to proceed as per SD views.

1) Create a Delivery

2) Post goods issue

3) Create Billing document.

Based on movement types you can easily recognize the STO process.

So in that case what will be the process flow difference between STO and PO process when integrating with TM since here we only have inbound delivery to activate as a transfer document

Dear,

When you set the STO document type system populates supplying plant data and receiving plant data in screen.It is just removing stock from one plant and sending to other plant.

Where as for normal P.O system populates vendor data and receiving plant data in screen.

For STO we need to do additional settings under SPRO-->IMG-->Material Mangement-->Purchasing-->Purchase order-->Set up Stock Transport Order.

STO scenario:

STO & Outbound delivery  - > Goes to TM and is planned. GI to be done on OBD.

Inbound delivery -> Does not go to TM as outbound delivery is already planned. This document is used only to do the GR in ECC.

PO scenario:

PO & Inbound Delivery -> goes to TM and is planned. GR to be done on IBD

No outbound delivery

for STO scenario why we use worflow concept rather than output type concept.
