Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations


A stock transfer from storage location to storage location takes place within a plant. It is usually posted without value since the transferred material is managed in the same plant and therefore has the same valuation data as before.

We can Transfer the goods between Storage locations in two ways:

  • Without Shipping Point in the Purchase Order, we can transfer the goods/products by using MM – STO. (Without Delivery and Without Billing)

  • With Shipping Point in the Purchase Order, we have to maintain some Configurations Settings. (With Delivery and Without Billing)


Process Flow:

  • Define Shipping Data for Plants

  • Configure Delivery Type & Availability Check Procedure by Plant

  • Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, Under delivery Tolerance

  • Activate Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations

  • Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage Location

  • Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers Between Storage Locations

  • Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point

  • Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location

  • Create the Material and Extended to both Storage Locations

  • Assign the Supplying Plant in the Business Partner

  • Create the Purchase order in ME21N.


Below mentioned three steps are mandatory fields to obtain the shipping tab:

  • Define Shipping Data for Plants

  • Configure Delivery Type & Availability Check Procedure by Plant

  • Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, Under delivery Tolerance


These are the mandatory steps we need to maintain to get the shipping tab.

Configuration Path:

Define Shipping Data for Plants:

SPRO –> IMG –> Material Management –> Purchasing –> Purchase order –> Set up Stock Transport order –> Define Shipping Data for Plants


We can assign the customer in the supplying Plant for this process. (i.e., the supplying and Receiving Plant is same for this process.)


Configure Delivery Type & Availability Check Procedure by Plant:

SPRO –> IMG –> Material Management –> Purchasing –> Purchase order –> Set up Stock Transport order –> Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule




  • We can maintain this step by clicking on the new entries or by copying from the standard one if not maintained.

  • If the plant is assigned to the Document type assign the delivery type and checking rule and click on the save button.



Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, under delivery Tolerance:

SPRO –> IMG –> Material Management –> Purchasing –> Purchase order –> Set up Stock Transport order –> Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, Under delivery Tolerance


By clicking on New Entries, we can assign Supplying plant and Delivering Plant to Document type (or) else by copying the existing one change the plants and document type.


Activate Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations:

SPRO –> IMG –> Material Management –> Purchasing –> Purchase Order –> Set up Stock Transport Order –> Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations –> Activate Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations


In this step we can activate the Issuing Storage Location active and click on the save button.


Configure Delivery Type & Availability Check Procedure by Storage Location:

SPRO –> IMG –> Material Management –> Purchasing –> Purchase Order –> Set up Stock Transport Order –> Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations –> Configure Delivery Type & Availability Check Procedure by Storage Location


In this Step we can maintain

  • Purchase document category 'F' , here use PO type UB, supplying plant, issue storage location and delivery type(prefer to create new delivery type by copying delivery type 'NL' replenish delivery.)



In this step we can create new delivery type by copying from the standard delivery type.

SPRO –> IMG –> Logistics Execution –> Shipping –> Deliveries –> Define Delivery Types


 


Here I create the new delivery Type as “PL” by copying from the standard one “NL”.


Here I am assigning the Supplying Plant, Supplying storage location and Delivery Type to Document Type.


Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers Between Storage Locations:

SPRO –> IMG –> Material Management –> Purchasing –> Purchase Order –> Set up Stock Transport Order –> Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations –> Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers Between Storage Locations


In this step we can assign Sales organization, Distribution Channel, Shipping Point and Division to the Plant and later select the Plant and click on the Storage location.


By maintaining the data click on the save button.


Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point:

SPRO –> IMG –> Logistics Execution –> Shipping –> Basic Shipping Functions –> Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination –> Set Up Storage-Location-Dependent Shipping Point Determination –> Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point



Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location:

SPRO –> IMG –> Logistics Execution –> Shipping –> Basic Shipping Functions –> Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination –> Set Up Storage-Location-Dependent Shipping Point Determination –> Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location


In this step we can assign Shipping Point to the Storage location by clicking on the new entries or by copying from the standard one.


Now create the Material and Extended to the Storage locations.

Material – 6000235



The Material is Extended to both Storage locations.

Now Create the Purchase Order in ME21N:

  • Document Type – UB

  • Enter Supplying Plant – 9001

  • Enter PO Creating Storage Location and Material Issuing Storage location.



Stock Transp. Order created under the number 4500000932.


Check the stock in Stock overview in MMBE.

  • We have 100 Quantity in Plant – 9001 and Storage location RM01.



Create the Outbound Delivery in (VL01N, VL10B, VL10D)

Here I am creating the Outbound Delivery in VL10D Transaction Code.

  • Enter the Shipping Point and Purchase order Number and click on Execute Button.



Select the PO Number and click on the Background button.


Another line will be generated with Green Mark. Select that line and click on the Delivery log creation Tab.


Place the Cursor and click on the documents button the Outbound Delivery Number will be displayed.


The Outbound Delivery Number is – 80000372.


Next Change the Outbound Delivery Number (i.e., Post Goods Issue in VLO2N)

Enter the Picked Quantity and the system trigger Storage location automatically and check the Incompleteness data.

If all the data is ok, click on the Post Goods Issue or save button.


Replenishment Delivery 80000372 has been saved.

Now Check the Purchase order History in the Purchase Order in ME23N.


The Supplying Plant has issued the Goods, but the stock will be in Transit until the Receiving the Plant does the Goods Movement.

Check the Stock Transit in MB5T



Now done the Goods Movement in MIGO

Goods Receipt –> Purchase order


Material document 198 posted.


No subsequent document found in accounting.

Now Check the Purchase Order History in the PO.

Goto ME23N (Display of the Purchase Order)


Now check the stock in MMBE.


Advantages of using Stock Transfer order instead of Transfer Posting:

  • A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant. You can enter a vendor (transport vendor) in the stock transport order.

  • Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order.
