Stock Transport Orders:Stock transport orders (STOs) are used within an organization to transfer stock from one plant to another. This process involves a goods issue at the sending plant and a goods receipt at the receiving plant.

Advantage of STOs:

Monitoring and Transparency:The use of PO history in STOs allows for detailed monitoring of the goods issue and goods receipt processes. This enhances transparency and traceability in the stock transfer process.

Control and Documentation:STOs provide better control over internal stock transfers, with documentation through the purchase order system, which is beneficial for audit trails and internal controls.

Implementation Steps:

Create STO:In the SAP system, create a stock transport order from the supplying plant to the receiving plant.

Monitor Goods Issue and Receipt:Use the PO history to monitor the goods issue at the sending plant and the goods receipt at the receiving plant, ensuring the process is completed as intended.
