I have a scenario in which i need to do the STO with delivery for the NLAG item or text item. But the thing is we don't maintain inventory.
STO PO - Delivery - IC Invoice - GR - Vendor Invoice.
Hi Experts, Can you please explain me how to make this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Mohanaselvan,
Stock Transport Order is for transporting stock. If you want to to implement cross-company sales of non-stock materials, then you shall use ALE: let the output of your PO generate an IDoc which is processed back in the same system and generates the sales order. You will probably need to implement a user exit either on the outbound IDoc side to amend some fields.

you cannot create a standard PO to a vendor with a plant assignment, SAP gives you a error message telling you to use STO process.
So you would need a second vendor number and customer number for your plants. this is often not allowed by finance policies.
There was the same question a year ago:
I am not certain if my answer is really true, still I think it is logical,
But itis possible to procure NLAG materials from external vendors, and it is possible to create orders and deliveries for NLAG materials to external customers.
...and SAP uses the same process parts for STOs. So it could theoretically be possible, except there is some coding that does not allow non-inventoried and non-valuated materials (NLAGs) in a STO order ...maybe because SAP cannot create in-transit stock for non-inventoried items. ......maybe because the item category for a non-invnentoried item in the outbound delivery has to be different from the proposed item category in a standard delivery to a STO order. (so you would need a user exit to exchange this category - you may try it in debug mode)
Now i created a Inter company STO PO with the plant vendor and created the outbound delivery with the UNBW material (as the sap considers only stock material for STO).
Then I made the outbound delivery item as not relevant for picking. So it does not transfers any inventory technically in the system. So i could do the PGI without inventory and delivery related intercompany invoicing.
Then now the problem is how could i do the goods receipt without creating inventory.
Should i tweak the custom movement type not to create the inventory?
Hi,
Juts curious. How can you make the PGI of a UNBW material not to issue any stock?
Another question. My understanding was that you didn't have stock, not that you were looking for a way to create STO for this material without moving this stock. You wrote that you "don't maintain stock".

Yes,let's say i am receiving some racks and i already consumed it. Now i want to transfer it to other company. So there is no existence of inventory.
