Auto Creation of Outbound Delivery Number in PO for STO Process

• Stock Transport Order operation helps company to make movement of the stock/material between plants and storage locations of a plant, plant of a company code to plant of another company code and monitor the stock movement using stock reports in the SAP system.

Stock Transport Process in SAP ERP System:

VLMOVE (WM – IM): Generally, this transaction is used to transfer the material from plant to plant or in between storage locations in the same plant within the Handling Units.

• Delivery will only be created when at least one of the affected storage locations during stock transfer is HU managed.

We need to maintain some settings before we run the transaction VLMOVE.
