Stock Transfer Order Process
SAP ERP has a special process with SAP Stock transport

order (STO) that enables to move stock from one plant to
another or between different Locations. In stock transfer
process, goods are procured and supplied within a company.
One plant orders the goods from another plant (they are
called the receiving plant/issuing plant).
This stock transfer can be carried out in the one-step

procedure and the two-step Procedure:
The following components are involved in this stock transfer:
● Purchasing in entering the order
● Shipping in making the delivery from the issuing plant
● Inventory Management at goods receipt in the receiving
plant
This stock transport order has the following characteristics:
● The quantity posted from stock is first of all managed as
stock in transit of the receiving plant. Only once the goods

receipt has been posted is the quantity posted to the

unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant.
This enables the quantity "on the way" to be monitored.
● You can enter delivery costs in the order.
● The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of
the material in the issuing plant.
● If the plants involved belong to different company codes,
the stock transport order between plants is also a transfer
between company codes. In this case, the system creates two
accounting documents when the goods issue is posted. The
stock posting is offset against a company code clearing
account.
If you use the two-step procedure, use movement type

641.
If you use the one-step procedure (movement type
647), no goods receipt needs to be posted when the
goods arrive in the receiving plant.
In this document, two-step procedure is explained.

The material is posted to the stock in transit of the receiving
plant after goods issue at the supplying plant
