Explanation

In SAP Materials Management, cross-plant stock transfers can be executed using three distinct procedures: a stock transport order without delivery (A), which uses a purchase order to move stock directly between plants via goods issue/receipt; a two-step procedure (C), which separates the goods issue at the sending plant from the goods receipt at the receiving plant; and a one-step procedure (D), which posts both the goods issue and receipt simultaneously in a single transaction.

Distractors explained:

• B (Slotting and rearrangement) is a warehouse management optimization technique for determining bin locations - it has no role in plant-to-plant stock movement.
• E (Material requirements planning) is a planning tool that triggers procurement or production needs; it does not itself perform stock transfers.

Memory tip: Think of the three valid methods as "HOW you move the stock" - by order alone (no delivery), by splitting the move in two steps, or by doing it all in one shot. Slotting and MRP are planning/organization tools, not transfer execution methods.
