STO -Replinishment Order

STO (Stock transport order): STO is also called as Replenishment delivery, as we use this process to transfer the stock which ever plant is deficient in stock, by stock transport order method. In this particular process the setup of a company could look like the following.

Comp code : 2222

Sales org : 22

Dist chnl : 22

Division : 11

Plant : 22 (supplying plant ) 22a (Recieving Plant)

Storage loc : 22 (supplying ) 22a (Recieving )

Shipping point : 22

Material : zm1

Dummy customer : Dummy

We also need to have one dummy customer to assign in shipping data for the plant.

1. Define shipping data for the plant:

In this step we are telling the system, from which plant, stocks are sent to which sales area. And what is the assigned dummy customer for that sales area.

2. Create checking rule:

In this step we just create a checking rule, by going to new entries, create it.

3. Define checking rule:

In this step we are going to assign the created checking rule to checking group

Checking group Checking rule

4. Assign the Checking rule to STO document type (UB), Supplying plant and Delivery document type (NL)

5. Assign Document type one step procedure: In this step we suggest the system, which is our supplying plant, what is going to be receiving plant, what is the document type for that.

After the configuration of these initial few steps we need to test it by raising the purchase order ME21N, then once the Purchase order has reached the supplying plant, supplying plant will send the stock, so for this you need to do VL10B, and search for your delivery document, and deliver it.

Now as your supplying plant has sent the stock to you, so to check the quantity and quality or any other inspections can be completed with MIGO.

After the MIGO you can check in your plant with the Tcode MMBE, and its movement types etc in MB5B.

The system uses Goods issue movement type is 645

And for the Goods Receipt the movement type is 101.

Note: I tried to configure here vice versa, supplying plant can be sometime recieving plant and some vice versa.
