Material determination in STO

[Former Member]

Hi ,

Pls let me know how below described scenario can be achieved in STO in R/3 4.7 or ECC 6.0

PLANT1 needs material 'A' and it wil raise STO PO with supplying plant PLANT2.

But PLANT2 may no longer have inventory of material 'A' but may have inventory of replacement parts Material 'B' or 'C'.

PLANT2 may ship material 'B' or 'C' depending upon availability of stock. PLANT1 need to do the Goods Receipt against material 'A'.

Warm regards,

material determination is usually made in a sales order.

You dont have a sales order in a STO process, you just create a delivery in reference to a STO, so there is no material determination.

the options you have is to move material B to A with mvt 309 in plant2 and then create the delivery. or you ask plant1 to change the material in the STO.
