Start of Process: It kicks off with the creation of an intercompany STO using transaction ME21N in the receiving plant’s ERP.
Outbound Delivery Creation 📤: In the supplying plant’s ERP, an outbound delivery is created using transaction VL10B.
Transfer Order for Picking 📌: A transfer order for picking is then created within the WM module of the supplying plant using transaction LT03.
Picking & Confirmation ✅: The transfer order is picked and confirmed in the WM module using transaction LT12.
Shipment Planning 🚚: Back in the ERP of the supplying plant, shipment and shipment planning are created with transaction VT01N.
Shipment Loading 📦: The loading of the shipment is recorded with transaction LM30.
Inbound Delivery Creation 📥: Concurrently, in the ERP of the receiving plant, an inbound delivery is created with transaction VL31N.
