STO with delivery is prominently used as it helps to plan details associated with the delivery e.g. routes, carriers, shipping points, availability check, rescheduling delivery dates,etc

Hi Jupudi,

a lot of companies want to have the same kind of documentation for a goods issue for an STO as they have it with a delivery for a sales order.

Process:

1. create STO (ME21N)

2. create delivery (VL10B/VL10D/VL10F etc)

3. PGI (VL02N, VL06G, VL06O)

4. PGR against the delivery to correctly update document flow (MIGO). In case of a one step STO the PGR is done automatically when doing PGI

5. cross company STO: create intercompany billing doc (VF01)

6. cross company STO: create invoice for PO (MIRO)

You need to set up sales views for the materials affected, and execute the IMG activities for STOs (OLME -> Purchase Order -> Set up Stock Transport Order). These steps and the process is really just the basics, you can complicate it if you want.

Please also search the forum, I'm pretty sure you'll find more than enough threads

Cheers,
