5.Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document / Invoice

You have an issue with your team : in your company you have 2 plants that belong to 2 different company codes , and you want to transfer material/stock from one to another. you discuss with your team how can you acheive this...
you have Ahmad and Waleed in your team.


You : Guys, lets see what do we have ... we need to transfer the material between the plants that belong to different company codes .
Ahmad : Can not we use normal stock transfers ?
Waleed : No Ahmad , we can not . The stock transfer (1 step or 2 steps) works if the plants belong to the same company code.
Ahmad : Why is that , explain to me.
Waleed : When we transfer materials between plants (with diff. CC) , the issuing plant will send a bill for the receiving plant expecting to be paid. Also , the receiving plant will execute invoice verification for that invoice/bill.
Ahmad : OK I got it.
You : So Waleed , Did you mean that this STO (with shipping and billing) is almost the same as the STO with shipping but the only difference is this one allows the issuing plant to issue the bill and the receiving plant to do invoice verification ?
Waleed : Yes , Exactly.
You : So this one is only applicable if the plants belong to different company codes.
Waleed : Yes...

 

5..(SAP) Different Ways for StockTransfer between plants

4.Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping

We have gone through 3 ways of transferring the stocks between plants.
The first one was the easy one that only involves IM and the stock is moved in one step.
Then in the second way we said OK we can transfer the stocks in 2 steps but only using IM.
 In the third way we said now we will add the procurement to the game , how it fits ? we in the warehouse [inventory people] don't know if the stock is already in other plant , we only say : we need this material and we don't care if you - the buyer- get it from external vendor or you get it from the other plant.

Now in the fourth way we will build on the previous one where the procurement is involved and the stock is to be transferred from the other plant.

we are pretending that you are presenting the different ways to transfer goods between plants , of course in each presentation there is that guy who would hamer you with questions before you even start :) ... have fun !

"OK .. OK .. whats so great with this Stock Transport with Shipping ?  " that same annoying guy -refer to the previous posts :)- interrupts you .

you answer him with confidence : Now we have these advantages  [you start listing them to the audience ].

1. We can enter a transport vendor in that stock transport order .
 A finance guy asks you : what about the transportation costs ? You : we can include it in the stock transport order also.

2. This would be an interest for the warehousing managers , [they start paying attention to you now !] : The goods can be issued through the delivery , which is part of the shipping.

3. We have some thing also for the planners : The STO is part of the MRP , which means the PR that was created  by MRP can be converted to STO.

4. Do we have a thing for the buyers ? of course we have . Now you can monitor the whole process through PO history.

you have ended up your presentation thanking them for listening [and intrrupting :)] , and directing your speach to the sapscreencast blog's reader : please give me your feedback :)
