Hi Mastan,

STO process for your reference:

Stock transfer is a process where material is transferred from one plant to another plant within the same company e.g. Pune stock transfers to Mumbai within same company code.

- Also following types of Stock Transfer options are available:

a) Manufacturing Plant to Depot

b) Depot to Depot

c) Depot to Manufacturing Plant

For doing a Stock transfer through SD the steps are as follows: -

1• Creation of Stock tranfer order using T-code- ME21n (Here the Receiving Plant creates a STO on the Sending Plant)

2• Creation of Delivery document against the STO using T-code VL04 (Here the Sending Plant creates the Delivery document against the STO created on it)

3• After creation of Delivery document PGI (Post goods issue) is done for the Delivery document using T-code-VL02n.

4• After PGI is done a Billing document is created against the delivery document – (Here the logic for creating a Billing document is that the same will be carried along with the Truck carrying the material). Here a Pro-forma document is created as against normal Billing doc used in Sales. The pro-forma document does not carry an subsequent accounting entries as the same is only tranfer of material from one plant to another and not a sale.

You can use F8 billing type for creating Performa Invoice for Delivery

5• After Proforma invoice is prepared you can view the stocks in trasit using T-code- MB5T.

6• Finally the Receving plant can do the goods receipts of the goods against STO created using T-code - MIGO.

Hope the above helps you.

REWARD if it helps you!!

In a company, goods movements do not only occur in the form of goods receipts and goods issues. Depending on the organization of the company (for example, decentralized storage) and its sales policy, internal stock transfers might also be necessary.

The stock transfer with delivery is a plant to plant scenario. You are posting a goods issue in plant BP02 and a goods receipt in plant BP01.

This type of stock transfer can only be carried out from unrestricted-use stock of the issuing plant to unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant.

You post the placement into storage at the receiving plant in a second step. Only then is the event completed and the transferred quantity part of unrestricted-use stock.

<b>Function List</b>

The following functions are provided to support the J51 building block:

Creating a Planned Independent Requirement

Creating a stock transport order in plant BP01

Generating a delivery in plant BP02

Picking of the material and posting the goods issue in the delivering plant

Posting the goods receipt in the receiving plant

<b>Key Points</b>

The quantity posted from stock is first of all managed as stock in transit of the receiving plant. Only once the goods receipt has been posted is the quantity posted to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant. This enables the quantity "on the road" to be monitored.

The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant.

Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order.

Rajesh Banka

STO

Whenever you need to transfer the materials from one plant to another plant belonging to one company or belonging to two company code stock transfer order is raised by the delivering company.

STO:

Transfer of goods from one location to another location,it may be between plants within the same company code or in different company code's plants.

within the company code,bet plants, receiving plant will raise the STO in Supplying/issuing plant-ME21n,

Supplying plant will deliver the goods to receiving plants , then we need to pick n post the Goods Issue-VL02n, nw when we can observe that the STO qtty will be added into receiving plant and reduced in Delievering plant.

Billing (Intercompany pricing conditions should be set). Define Tax Determination Rules

You specify the valid tax types in transaction OVK1. More than one tax type can be defined for a country by defining the sequence.

The SAP System determines the taxes automatically within pricing.

In the standard SAP R/3 System, the elements of tax calculation are predefined (for example, tax condition type "MWST" for taxes on sales and purchases).

Assign the plant for Tax Determination in OX10, using the country key, the SAP System recognizes which tax type is valid for a plant and thus which taxes are relevant when creating an SD document.

Define the Customer Taxes in OVK3, you will maintain the tax code in Customer Master.

Define the Material Taxes in OVK4, which will then be maintain in Material Master.
