Demonstrating the CM to OEM 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. At the Item Detail level, we provide the appropriate confirmation control key value.

The Stock Transport Order has been created and successfully sent to the Contract Manufacturer on the SAP Business Network. In the screenshot below we highlight the Stock Transport Order number and the status.

The Contract Manufacturer has received the Stock Transport Order and now creates an Advance Ship Notice. The Contract Manufacturer provides the Packing Slip ID and leaves all other information as-is, and Submits the Advance Ship Notice.

The Advance Ship Notice is sent to the Original Equipment Manufacturer which triggers the creation of an Outbound Delivery on the OEM's SAP System. It also creates a Goods Issue which is posted automatically.

The OEM displays the original Stock Transport Order and views the Confirmations tab. The Inbound Delivery is displayed. The Inbound Delivery is created automatically if the SAP System has been configured with the SPED Output Type.

The OEM creates the Goods Receipt based on the Inbound Delivery number using transaction MIGO.

The Contract Manufacturer receives the Goods Receipt on the SAP Business Network.
