Hi Vijay,

In STO ,you maintain the customer number of the receiving plant. This customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the goods recipient (ship-to party) if stock transfer to be carried out with an SD delivery.

Dear Vijay,

This is done in order to maintain Vendor and Customer relationship.

Go through the following thread:

Hi Vijay,

We maintain the common customer for Plant in the config of STO because while carrying out the STO process we need to establish a relationship of VENDOR & CUSTOMER. We map the vendor no of one plant into customer no. of other and also the customer no. in Vendor master for the plant.

If this relationship is maintained then only when we create a STO the internal customer no. is automatically picked up for the receiving plant (refer shipping data) so that it is a Vendor - customer relationship. Also while making GR (goods receipt) if this customer vendor relationship is not matained it gives a error.

Hope the above helps you.

REWARD if it helps you!!

Consider there r 4 plants ( A,B,C,D) undr same company code 1000.& For STO one is i.e A is supplier Plant others r recieving plant i.e. B,C,D or vice versa. So inthis case B,C,D are the customers for Plant A . so how to maintain this customer for this . & some time it may happen B is supplier & A C D are customer or recieving plant.

so how to deal for STO & Returns

IMG --> Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set Up Stock Transport Order (From here you can configure STO Process)

here you will assign B,C,D as customers for A...same vice versa....
