STO from a sales order

[former_member368672]

Hi

I want to trigger a purchase requisition from a sales order to create a STO which will be used to create a replenishment delivery to supply to the plant in the sales order. What are the settings to be done in item category, schedule line category and other places

[former_member368672]

I have performed the following

In the schedule line category, I have used the following

Movement Type         601   GD goods issue:delvy

Order Type            NB

Item Category         7     Stock transfer

Acct Assgt Cat.       M     Ind. cust. w/o KD-CO

Acct assignm category is mandatory due to which when STO is created, it shows that the supplying plant does not have stock because "M" is selected. I have tried other combinations as well.

In the corresponding item category, I have removed the special stock indicator E, otherwise VL10B does not show the STO no.

I also tried to remove the special stock indicator E in the account assignment cat configuration but it does not allow. If I remove, then I have to specify a consumption account.

I have checked the checking rules of PR and PO. Please let me know where and what I am missing.

Dear Nayef,

Basically what you are trying to get is combination of Third part sales + STO process where in :

i. Sales order is created and PR will be created in background with help of item category TAS and Schedule line CS.

ii. wrt to PR Po will be created in ME21N

iii. wrt PO replenishment delivery will be created in VL10B (STO setting need to be done). With help of this stock will be moved to receiving plant

iv. wrt replenishment delivery, internal billing will be done to receiving sorg//Company code in VF01  billing type: IV

v. Finally end customer billing will be done wrt Sales order created in step i in VF01 Billing type F2

Hope this will help you out.

Thanks

Dear Sumeet,

What I want is a combination of normal sales order and STO. Only I should be able to pick from unrestricted stock when I create an STO with ref to PR.

I create a sales order from plant A which does not have stock. This will trigger a purchase requisition to create a STO from plant B. Plant B will deliver through VL10B to plant A. Once there is stock in Plant A, sales delivery and invoice will take place as normal.

The issue I am facing is the STO does not recognize the stock in plant B. It says only 0 qty available in plant B as it treats it like sales order stock PO.

Dear Nayef,

You need to have a PO for replenishment delivery with PR.

As mentioned above You want to transfer the stock from Plant B (sending plant) to Plant A (Receiving plant), then why you are not looking for Inter company sales process, what I believe by Inter company sales process you achieve the same.

Please refer the below threads for more details:

Dear Sumeet,

Thanks for the documents. My case is intra company if you will. Plant A & plant B belong to the same co code and sales org. The requirement is that cost and revenue has to be booked against plant A. Thats why even though it is plant B that is actually delivering to the customer, stocks have to be moved to plant A so that the sales order, delivery and invoice can happen from there.

Dear Nayef,

In that case why you are not using MM route i.e. Transfer posting Tcode: MB1B movement tyope: 311 for transferring Material from Plant B to Plant A, once the stocks are in Plant A you can follow Sales cycle. Involve your MM consultant to understand better.

Thanks.

I have been searching for around a week where I could find similar posts but none of those which have my exact scenario has been answered. Hence this post. It does not mean that I have not tried any configurations or changes. I did not want to elaborate on the steps I have done initially as they are too many. May be that's my mistake.
