Stock transport orders — Identify the transfer before checking FI
- Plants and company codes
- Record the supplying and receiving plant and whether they belong to the same company code.
- Process variant
- Check whether the transfer uses an outbound delivery, one or two movement steps, and intercompany billing.
- Valuation and dates
- Use the material’s relevant valuation data, quantities, currency and posting dates when comparing the financial result.
Example: trace 10 units between two plants
Read the STO
Check the supplying plant, receiving plant, material and ordered quantity.
Follow goods issue
Inspect the material document, stock-in-transit effect and accounting reference where generated.
Follow goods receipt
Check the received quantity and remaining transit stock. Inspect whether this step creates a financial document in this process.
Review intercompany documents if applicable
For a configured cross-company process, trace the related billing and invoice documents without assuming they exist for a same-company transfer.
If something differs
You expected an accounting document at receipt
Check the transfer variant and valuation. Some same-company processes record the financial movement at goods issue.
Transit stock remains
Compare issued and received quantities and check whether a receipt or reversal is still outstanding.
