I am trying to create a Stock Transport Order (STO) with document type UB and item category U. My objective is to transfer material from Plant (supplying plant) 100 to Plant (receiving plant) 1100 within one company code (1000) with STO.

For this purpose I created a raw material 1434 in plant 1000 with sales org 1 view and in that view entered in delivering plant field 1000 as delivery plant. After that I extended material 1434 to plant 1100 without changing anything what I did while creating the material first in Plant 1000 except in organizational level I entered 1100 in the plant field. I entered Sales org 1000 and distribution channel 10 in organization level for both plant while creating and extending the material. In me21n I chose Stock Transport Order with document type UB and item category as U also receiving Plant as 1100. With this when I tried to save the STO the message, I am getting an error,  Cannot determine shipping data for the material 1434? 

I am doing solely mm function why I need to create Customer master? In this case plant 1100 is the customer right? 

Solution:

1. Mat.(1434) should be maintained in both the plants. (1000&1100).

2. Should have enough stock in supplying plant(1000).

3. Make its supplying plant as a vendor in vendor master record in receiving plant(1100).

4. Make it receiving plant as a customer in customization. 
    Create customer (xd01) & and define the shipping data for plants in both the plants.
    Path: spro – img – m.mgmt – purchasing – po – set up STO – define shipping data (1 by1 )
    In Receiving plant (1100)                         In Supplying plant (1000)
    Customer num.  123345 (for ex.)              Customer num.  --------- (don't fill) 
    Sales org.yyy 
    Dist. Channel 
    Sales div.  y 
     
5. Assign doc. Type is "NL" for intra company STO. If  STO is inter company, Assign doc. Type is "NLCC".
    Position doc type is "UB"
    Enter supplying plant(1000) & doc type (NL) & checking rule (ex:01)

6. Assign doc. Type is "UB" to u'r plants.(PO)
    Go for new entries 
    Enter supplying plant(1000) & Receiving plant (1100) & doc type (UB).

7. Create a PO, choose the doc type is `UB' & item cat.'U', Enter supplying plant as a vendor in PO  of the receiving plant(1100).

8. Provide this num (PO) to SD people, they will do the delivery by using transactional code is VL10B.

9. Sales people they will provide "out bound delivery num".

10. Do the GR. In GR the second tab 05 out bound delivery instead of PO mov.type 101.

11. See the stock over view in the receiving & supplying plants.
