Basically there are totally Three types of scenarios 1.

Intra Company Stock Transport Order In this type of scenario, the stock is transferred between Two Plants which are under the same Company Code. The document type used here is UB. Here in this scenario the owner ship on the stock is not changed thats way there will not be any Invoice. The process as follows a. Create Purchase Order with document type UB - ME21N b. Create Replenishment Delivery with Document type NL - VL10B c. Picking and PGI - VL02N Now stock will be shown in Transit, you can check this using T Code MB5T. d. Do MIGO to receive the stock into ordering plant. 2. Inter Company Stock Transport Order This is called as Cross Company STO. Here the stock is sent from one plant to another plant which is in two different Company codes. That means the Ownership on the stock is changed in this scenario, that way there will be Inter company Invoice IV is raised. Here the stock is just moved to one plant to another plant but not to any customer. The Process is as follows a. Create a PO using type NB - ME21N b. Create a Cross Company Replenishment delivery using type NLCC - VL10B c. Picking and PGI in VL02N d. Inter Company Invoice IV is raised by Supplying Company code to the Ordering Company Code - VF01 for this a customer created in Supplying Company who represents the Ordering Company and the invoice is raised against to that customer. e. MIGO to receive the stock in Ordering Plant f. MIRO to do invoice verification and do Vendor account update. This also can be done by EDI triggering, to update the Vendor Account. That means with this step, ordering company will update into its vendor account that he has to give certain amount to the company who supplied the stock. 3. Inter Company Customer Sales This is similar to the 2 process, but here instead of sending to Plant we will send the stock directly to Customer of other company code. The process is as follows a. Customer raises normal sales order in another company code of type OR - VA01 b. But if the plant of that company does not have stock, then in the order the plant is changed to other company code plant. c. Delivery is created in supplying Company against this Order - VL01 d. Picking and PGI is done - VL02N e. But the stock is sent directly to customer from supplying plant. f. Ordering company will raise normal invoice F2 to the customer g. Supplying Company will raise Inter company invoice IV to the Ordering Company. But for all these process there are some configurations can be done, like the material should be extended to both the plants a customer is created in supplying plant who represents the ordering plant so that IV can be generated to that customer. Supplying Plants should be linked to ordering Sales Org and Distribution channel. etc. I think you need not worry about the third process explained here For shipping tab to come you need to configure IMG--M.M--PURCHASING---PURCHASE ORDER---SET UP STOCK TRANSPORT ORDER----DEFINE SHIPPING DATA FOR PLANTS This has to be configured other wise shipping data tab will not get opened STO is little bit confusing subject only till the time you understand It cant be explained in the forum You have to search a lot of docs in M.M and S.D forum and do a tharough research in the system For intra company order type is UB,del type is NL,Item cat NLN and movement type is 641 For inter company order type is NB,del type is NLCC,Item cat NLC and movement type is 643

What is Stock Transfer Order? What are the IMG configurations? How do you create a STO? by: Jupalli Samatha The following steps have to be followed in order to configure stock transport order between two plants. 1. Create a vendor for the Company code of the receiving plant using account group 0007 via T-Code XK01. 2. In the purchasing data view assign the supplying plant and the schema group. 3. Create customer with the sales area of the vendor. 4. The shipping conditions, the delivering plant and the transportation zone determine the route in the STO. 5. In the pricing procedure determination relevant to the STO assign document pricing procedure and customer pricing procedure to get the pricing in the invoice. 6. Maintain condition records for pricing condition. 7. Maintain carrier as a partner in the customer master. 8. In OMGN select the supplying plant and assign the company code and sales area. Similarly select the receiving plant and assign the company code and sales area (The company code to which the plant is assigned to). 9. Assign the delivery type and checking rule to the document type. 10. And finally, assign the purchasing document type to the supplying plant and the receiving plant. 11. Create the STO using T-Code ME 21N and save. 12. Check for release strategy if any and release using T-Code ME 28. 13. Create delivery in background using VL10G. 14. If delivery is created, it is an indication of correct configuration and master data creation. Stock transfer between two plants in different company codes is known as inter company stock transfer. 1. Material should be maintained in both supplying and receiving plant MM01 2. Stock should maintain only in supplying plant MB1C 3. Create receiving plant as a customer in supplying plants company code and sales area XD01 4. Assign this customer number in receiving plant details OMGN 5. Assign supplying sales area in supplying plant details OMGN 6. Assign delivery type NB for in combination of supplying/ receiving plants. Create STO ME21N As it is normal there in the item details were should get shipping date i.e. customer number Go for Delivery VL10B Shipping point ***** Select PO go for execute then select the delivery then go for delivery ............create delivery,,,, delivery number generated. Goods Issue VL02 Delivery doc ********** Click on picking enter the picking qty Click on PGI

In SAP simple terms, the receiver of goods will always be treated as a customer.Hence it is required for you to define your receiving plant as customer and your sending plant as vendor. Also the receiving plant being a customer he needs a sales org and a divsion to be associated with him.

In your case because you are trying to shift the material with delivery but without billing you may require to maintain the Delivery type NL (Intra company replenishment delivery type) in the stock transport order configuration. The following are the mandatory steps to complete: Go to Spro>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase order>Set up stock transport order. Node 1: Define shipping data for plant Create a customer No. for a plant under respective sales area and div(select the option plant while creating customer)and assign the same to the shipping data. Note 4: Assign delivery type and cheking rule Assign delivery type / checking rule against your document type & supplying plant combination. Also note your supplying plant should also be maintained as a vendor thru XK01.Ensure that this vendor has been assigned with the same customer no as created above.
