Dear Friends,

In this document I'm going to explain inter-Company Stock transport Order with SD Delivery, Billing
& Logistics Invoice verification.

Prerequisites:

Knowledge of MM & SD
Two organization structures: one for purchasing and another for sales

1.
2.

Purchasing: Company Code:8888, Plant: 8881, Sto. Loc: 0002, Purchase Organization:
8881,
Sales: Company Code:6666, Delivering Plant: 6661, Sto. Loc: 0001, Sales
Area:6666, 66, 66, Shipping Point 6666.

Step1. In Transaction XK01, Create Vendor Master to represent Supplying plant(6661) in receiving
company code(8888) & Pur.Org(8881).

In Purchasing Data, Goto Menu Bar, Extras > & click on Additional Purchasing Data. Here Maintain
the supplying plant(6661) so that it is linked to the vendor master.

Note: A Plant can only be assigned to one vendor number. So we have to extend the same vendor
number to different Pur.Org if required.

Step2. In Transaction XD01, Create Customer Master to represent Receiving Plant(8881) in

Supplying Company Code(6666) & Sales Area(6666,66,66).

In Sales Area Data, Shipping tab, Maintain Delivery Priority, Shipping Condition & Delivering
Plant(6661) as shown below.

Step3. Create Material Master with below selected views, in Supplying Plant(6661), Sto.Loc.(0001),
Sales Org(6666), Dist.Ch(66).

In Basic Data1 View maintain Division(66) & General Item Category Group Ex. Norm(Standard Item)

In Sales Org1 View, Maintain Delivering Plant(6661) & Tax Details as shown below

Note: If You are not able to see tax condition types or not maintaining any tax indicators then it is
not possible to Create a delivery against STO. Same applies to Customer Master in Step2.

In Sales Org2 View, Maintain Item category Group Ex. Norm (Standard Item)

Note: The Item Category group maintained here is preferred over general item category group and
used to determine 'Item Category in Delivery' Ex. NLC(For Inter Company) NLN(For IntraCompany).

In Sales General Plant Data, maintain Availability Check Group(Ex.01), Transportation

Group(Ex.0001), Loading Group(Ex.0001).

Step4. Extend the Material Created in Step3 to Purchasing plant(8881) & Sto.Loc(0002) with below
selected views.

Configuration Settings

Step5. Define Shipping Data for Plants in below path

SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Setup Stock Transport Order

For Supplying Plant(6661), assign Sales Area(6666,66,66) as shown below.

For Receiving Plant(8881), assign Customer Number(100216) Created in Step2.

Step6. If required Create a Checking Rule by entering a two digit code & Description. Ex. B - SD
Delivery(Standard)

Step7. Define Checking rule Created in Step6 in combination with Availability Check Group(01)
assigned in material master Step3. Here select the stocks, receipts & requirements as per
requirement.

Step8. Assign Delivery type & Checking rule

Here Assign Delivery type(NLCC) & Checking rule(B) to the Purchase order Document type(NB) &
Supplying plant(6661) Combination as shown below.

Step9. Assign Document type, One Step Procedure & Under delivery Tolerance.

Here for Supplying & Receiving Plant(6661 & 8881 respectively) Combination Assign PO Document
Type(NB).

Select One step Check box to post the Goods receipt while doing PGI itself. Otherwise Goods
Receipt have to be carried out in another step.

If You Select tolerance limits check box, Then SAP closes the STO by marking final delivery Check
box, if delivered Quantity is within the under delivery tolerance limits maintained in delivery tab of
PO. It depends on Partial deliveries allowed or not. Then the remaining quantity will not be shown
as open in requirements.

Step10. Define Shipping Point Determination in below path

SPRO > Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Function > Shipping point Determination
> Assign Shipping Points.

Here assign Shipping Point(6666) for the Combination of Shipping Condition(01) (customer master
step2), Loading Group(0001) (material master step3) & Supplying Plant(6661).

Step11. Define Item Category Determination in Deliveries in below path

SPRO > Logistics Execution > Shipping > Deliveries > Define Item Category Determination in
Deliveries

Here assign Item Category (NLC - Replenishment delivery inter Company) for the combination of
Delivery Document type (NLCC), Item Category Group (NORM), Usage V (Purchase order) & Higher
level item category group ( ' '-blank) as shown below.

Assign Sales pricing procedure ICAA01 to the combination of Sales Area(6666,66,66), Document

Here Observe the shipping tab with the above details as shown. Here first of all SAP checks for any
plant assigned in vendor Master. if not assigned then it will be a standard PO

Note: You Can process inter Company STO by using PO document type UB with Clearing accounts,
without delivery, w/o billing, w/o invoice(Mov.types 351 &101). If You are using document type NB

Trasaction VK11. Ex. MWST output tax
