The flowchart depicts the Intercompany Stock Transfer Process in SAP, specifically focusing on the process flow for stock transfer via outbound delivery between two plants: the Receiving Plant and the Issuing Plant. The process is divided into two main scenarios, both involving the creation of a purchase order and subsequent goods movements between the plants.
First Scenario: Two Step Approach with Mvt Type 643
- Create NB PO 馃摑: The receiving plant creates a standard purchase order (NB document type) for the stock transfer.
- Outbound Delivery 馃殮: The issuing plant generates an outbound delivery document to start the goods movement process.
- Transfer-Post GI (643) 馃攧: The goods issue (GI) is posted using movement type 643, which transfers the stock from the issuing plant to be in transit.
- Post Goods Receipt (101) 馃摝: Upon arrival, the receiving plant posts the goods receipt (GR) using movement type 101, acknowledging that the stock has been received.
- Billing 馃Ь: The issuing plant processes the billing for the transferred goods.
- Invoice 馃Ь: The receiving plant generates an invoice for the intercompany transfer.
Second Scenario: One Step Approach with Mvt Type 645
- Create NB PO 馃摑: Similar to the first scenario, the receiving plant creates an NB PO for the intercompany transfer.
- Outbound Delivery 馃殮: The issuing plant creates an outbound delivery document for the goods.
- TF Cross Company (645) 馃攧: The goods are transferred using movement type 645, which is specific for cross-company transfers.
- Billing 馃Ь: The issuing plant proceeds with the billing for the transfer.
- Invoice 馃Ь: The receiving plant issues the invoice for the transaction.
The flowchart presents two slightly different scenarios:
| Scenario | PTP | OTC |
| Cross-company STO in two steps | Purchase Order type: 路NB Standard PO, with “blank” item category Movement type: |
Delivery type: NLCC Delivery item category: NLC Billing relevance: relevant to billing |
| Cross-company STO in one step | Purchase Order type: 路NB Standard PO, with “blank” item category Movement type: |
Delivery type: NLCC Delivery item category: NLC Billing relevance: relevant to billing |
This flowchart provides a clear visual representation of the inter-company stock transfer process in SAP, highlighting the key steps and differences between standard and cross-company transfers.
