First basic difference between both the process is.

Inter company Sales: Normally this a sales process

Inter company Stock transfer is a MM Process.

In Inter company sales you will sell to your customer to different plant of different company code .

Example: If customer will order goods to Sales organization 1000 which is assigned to company code 1000 and plant 1000. In case if the plant 1000 does not have stock then he will create sales order in sales area of company code 1000 and in sales order he line item we have to change plant manually from where the delivery will happen in case if the delivery is happening from plant 2000 which is assigned to company code 2000 then in sales order line item the plant should be 2000.

And the delivery will be happened from plant 2000. And sales organization 1000 will bill to his customer and company code 2000 will bill to company code 1000 Billing type is IV.

Note: Material should be available in both the plants.

This is Inter company sales process.

Inter company Stock transfer

If plant 1000 want to goods from plant 2000 then plant 1000 will raise Purchase order ME21n and deliver will be happen using transaction code VL10b and invoice will happen using billing type IV then MIRO will happen.

This is Inter Company stock transfer.

Hi,

we have basically five scenarios in stock in transport order.

Stock Transfer Between Plants in One Step

Stock Transfer Between Plants in Two Steps

Stock Transport Order Without Delivery

Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping

Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice

The first four are done within the same company code,whereas the 5th one is an intercompany business scenario where billing also takes place. Essentially all are categorized under STO's.

Stock Transfer is a common terminology which we use both for Intra Company and Inter Company. As you may be aware Intra Company is within one company code, you tranfer material from one plant to another plant, whereas, Inter Company transfer is from a plant of one company code to a plant in another company code

thanks
