Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping

Purpose

The following components are involved in this type of stock transfer:

Purchasing (MM-PUR) in entering the order
Shipping (LE-SHP) in making the delivery from the issuing plant
Inventory Management (MM-IM) at goods receipt in the receiving plant

Characteristics of a Stock Transfer Order

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.

Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order.
The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant.
If the plants involved belong to different company codes, the transfer between plants is also a transfer between company codes. In this case, the system creates two accounting documents when the goods issue is posted. The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.

Process Flow

Creating a stock transport order in the receiving plant

Plant A would like to order materials from plant B. Plant A enters a stock transfer order. The stock transfer is used to plan the movement.

Posting a delivery in the issuing plant

Plant B supplies the goods to plant A. Plant B enters a replenishment delivery in Shipping. The goods are then posted to the stock in transit of the receiving plant.

Posting a goods receipt in the receiving plant

Once the goods arrive in the receiving plant, the plant posts a goods receipt for the delivery. The stock in transit is therefore reduced and the unrestricted-use stock increased.
