might have suppressed the PARTNER FUNCTIONS TAB in the
field section.

Even though if u get the same error then do these.

Question { Satyam, 13029 }

Tell me the STO Process ?

Answer

STO movements takes place in 2 types of steps.

1. One step procedure.
2. Two step procedure.

First we need to extend the material master to the
receiving plant/storage location.In all the procedures
below mentioned by going to mm01 then mention the material
that we want to enter in the copy from,then extend the
material.


Scenario 1 (STO between 2 storage locations btwn same plant)
1. One step procedure.

In one step procedure stock removal from storage
location1 of plant1 and stock replishment in storage
location2 takes place simutaneously with movement type(301).
by going to MB1b (t.code).In that specify the supplying
plant/storage location and the receiving plant/storage
location.And enter the material that u want to transfer.

Note: Stock transfer btwn 2 storage locations with same
plant happens if they are having the same proximaty.

2. Two step procedure.

This step is used if the storage locations of the
plants are at some distance.
In this step first ,go to MBIB T.CODE then mentioned the
supplying plant/storage location and then enter the
material with quantity to be transfered with movement type
(303)the stock will be removed from the storage location.
Then again go to MBIB t.code then mention the movement type
(305) then mention the supplying plant/storage location and
then mention the receiving plant/storage location,then
enter quantity of the stock to be received.

The same procedure will be applicable to the 2 plants of
the same company code.It depends upon the type of step that
the business requires.If the plant to plant it is always
advisory to use the 2 step procedure.

For every business giving the credit is the common
factor.But as a company we need to check the customers
payment track record and the type of customer he is.For
that purpose the credit and risk management concept is used.

For that one credit control area will be defined assigned
to company,and who ever the customers are there in the
company will be assigned the CCA,and the credit limit will
be specified for each customer,and basing upon that credit
limit the tracking of the payment is going to take place.

If any customer the credit limit exceeds and he is not
paid the amount.The sales order for that customer will be
blocked due to the exceeding credit limit of the customer.
