Stock Transfer Order by SD route

In a company, goods movements do not only occur in the form of goods receipts and goods issues. Depending on the organization of the company (for example, decentralized storage) and its sales policy, internal stock transfers might also be necessary.
Stock transfers can occur at three different levels:

1) ST for Cross Company Plants

If the plants involved belong to different company codes, the transfer between plants is also a transfer between company codes. In this case, the system creates two accounting documents when the goods issue is posted. The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.

2) ST from plant to plant  within same company code

A stock transfer from plant to plant not only leads to a change in stock quantity in both plants; if both plants are assigned to different valuation areas, an accounting document is also created.

3) From storage location to storage location (in the plant)

A stock transfer from storage location to storage location in the same plant simply causes an update of the stock quantities in both storage locations. It is not relevant for accounting.
