In the SAP S/4 HANA system there is the possibility of transferring between plants within a company code. What are the characteristics of stock transport orders? There are 3 correct answers to this…

Question

Options

• AThe material or goods that are on the way to the receiving plant can be managed as valuated
• BYou can post the goods issue from the quality inspection stock of the supplying (issuing) plant.
• CAt the time of goods issue, two accounting documents are created, one for the issuing plant and
• DThe material or goods that are on the way to the receiving plant are part of the valued inventory of
• EYou can post the goods receipt to the blocked stock of the receiving plant.

• A
  76% (26)
• B
  9% (3)
• C
  15% (5)

Explanation

Options A, D, and E are correct because SAP S/4HANA stock transport orders (STOs) within a company code allow in-transit stock to be valuated (A) and tracked as part of the valued inventory of the receiving plant while goods are still in transit (D), and the receiving plant can post the goods receipt directly to blocked stock (E), giving warehouse staff time to inspect before releasing to unrestricted use.

B is wrong because goods issue in a STO must be posted from unrestricted-use stock - quality inspection stock is locked for QM purposes and cannot be the source for a goods issue movement.

C is wrong because within a single company code, only one accounting document is created at goods issue (an internal stock transfer posting); two accounting documents arise only in cross-company-code (inter-company) scenarios, where each legal entity needs its own FI posting.

Memory tip: Remember the phrase "One doc, no QI, block OK" - intra-company STOs generate one accounting document (not two), cannot issue from quality inspection stock, and can receive into blocked stock.
