Demonstrating the CM to CM Scenario

The first step is to create the Stock Transport Order. This is similar to creating a Purchase Order. We use ME21N but specify the order type as Stock Transp. Order. The fields we populate at the header include the Supplying Plant, Purchase Organization, Purchasing Group, and Company Code.

At the line level, we provide the Material, Quantity, Plant (which is the Receiving Plant), and the Issuing Storage Location. Both the Supplying and Receiving Plants are virtual plants. At the Item Detail level, we provide the appropriate confirmation control key value.

On the Partners tab, add the Business Partner for the Receiving Plant.

The Supplying Plant creates the Advance Ship Notice on the SAP Business Network.

After the Advance Ship Notice has been created on the SAP Business Network, we see the Outbound Delivery (Tr./Ev. Delivery note) and the Goods Issue (Tr./Ev. Goods Issue) on the SAP System.

On the Confirmation tab of the Stock Transport Order we see a reference to the Inbound Delivery (180005779).

The Receiving Plant is able to see the Advance Ship Notice created by the Supplying Plant. They will use this to create the Component Receipt.

The Receiving Plant has received the stock so they will create a Component Receipt.

The Component Receipt sent by the Receiving Plant is received by the OEM in the SAP System as a Goods Receipt.

The Goods Receipt in SAP is forwarded to the Business Partner representing the Supplying Plant and received in the SAP Business Network.
