Configuration steps for process STO from SO with reference PR

[osama_selim]

Dear All,

Introduction:

We have 2 different locations, first one specific to deliver goods to customers but haven’t any stocks related to sales order line items, second location has stock and needs to transfer these goods to first location by system, then receipt stock in first location in this time stock it’s available to delivered to customer.

System process:

SO >> PR >> STO

Configurations steps:

1. Assign PO type for Sales Organization:

SPRO --> Enterprise Structure --> Definition --> Sales and Distribution --> Define, copy, delete, check Sales organization --> Order Type.

1. Configure item category:

Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Define Item Categories >>> Then enable check box Create PO automatic.

1. Configure schedule line category:

Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Schedule Lines --> Define Schedule Line Categories.

PO Type --> as u have

Item Category --> 0

Account Assignment Category --> D

Then enable check box for Purchase requisition with delivery scheduling.

1. Determine Requirement Type by Item Category and MRP Type:

Item categories > MRP Type > Requirement type.

1. Configure Scope of Availability Check:

1. Generate new sales order type and link it with new setting.
2. After receipt goods in second location and customer doesn’t need these goods:

Go through MIGO > Transfer posting > Other > MVT 411 E

Insert sales order no, from & destination’s plant (second plant) in this time after post, the stock moved from special stock in sales order to unrestricted.

Regards.

Hi, 

My suggestion is to use only STO without using the sales order.
The ATP control should be performed at the storage location and not plant levels.
You might also consider activating a dedicated MRP area to manage the transfer request.
Or activate the Badi MD_EXT_SUP (if available).
I hope this helps.
