You can transfer stock from one plant to another where the plants belong to different companies (i.e. have different company codes).
Since the plants belong to different company codes, the following points have to be considered from the sales point of view:
To deal with these points, the stock transfer can be carried out with a normal purchase order type NB.
The delivering plant can then create a delivery and an intercompany billing document on the basis of this purchase order.
An incoming invoice with reference to the purchase order can be posted in the following ways:
The following example outlines the procedure for intercompany stock transfer.

Business Transaction
Plant A orders 100 tons of "Steel-1" from plant B at a price of USD 10.00 per ton.
The clerk responsible creates a normal purchase order (type NB) for the vendor Smith & Co. who is assigned to Plant B. The clerk can enter prices and delivery costs as usual.
On receipt of the purchase order, the vendor Smith & Co. enters a delivery for 100 tons of "Steel-1".
The values and the quantity are not yet posted in the receiving plant (Plant A).
When the material arrives at Plant A, the clerk responsible posts goods receipt against the purchase order. The system now posts values and quantities in the receiving plant.
On the basis of the delivery, the system creates a billing document (intercompany billing) amounting to USD 1000.
In company code 0001, the incoming invoice can be posted in the following ways:
