Stock Transfer Using Stock Transport Order 

Use

There are two processes available to enable you to transfer materials from one plant to another:

• Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping
• Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice

Prerequisites

To process the goods issue in Shipping (LE-SHP), the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

• In Customizing for Purchasing, you have assigned a delivery type to the purchasing document type. If the document type does not have a delivery type, you can post the goods issue only in Inventory Management.
• In Customizing for Purchasing, you have maintained the customer number of the receiving plant.
• In Customizing for Sales & Distribution, you have maintained the shipping point determination.
• In the material master record, you have maintained shipping data.

If the document type contains a delivery type but another requirement is missing (for example, shipping data), you receive either a warning message or an error message (depending on the system configuration) when you try to enter the stock transport order.

Features

The transfer of stock using a stock transport order allows you to:

·         Plan a goods receipt in the receiving plant

·         Enter a vendor in the stock transport order

·         Enter the stock type of the issuing and receiving plant

·         Enter the delivery costs in the stock transport order on the Conditions tab page

·         Enter the goods issue using a delivery via shipping (LE-SHP)

·         Monitor the entire process using the purchase order history
