How to create Intra STO for other plant if current one is not able to fulfil order.

[champ15]

1. How to create a Intra STO PR automatically?

2. My client has one demand in that they want to create STO automatically with following scenario:
Suppose one supplying plant can't able to fulfil order (due to lack of stock) then STO should be placed for other Plant automatically? Is there any possibility to create such.

Thanks.

Perform some search on DRP distribution requirement planning or MRP Material Requirements Planning in SAP.

Dear champ15,

1) You can use special procurement key in order to let MRP create PurReqs with item category "U".

You can refer to this link in part "Stock transfer":

https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPMan/Special+procurement+types+-+effects+in+MRP

When spec. proc. key is created, you then have to maintain in material master on MRP2 view for selected material.

2) I think this can be achieved via APO. If your client is using it, you can consider this option.

(not 100% sure if applicable also for STO, but for sure for SO)
