Stock - Transfer:

There are 2 ways of GR'ing Stock- transfer goods

One step process:

• Via T.Code MB1B with mvt type 301 (Transfer posting plant to plant)
  

Two step process:

• Via MB1b using mvt type 303 (Transfer posting plant to plant -remove from storage) and then 305 (Transfer posting plant to plant - place in storage)
  

There are other situations too w.r.t Shipping and distribuition (SD). The process is described below:

Order without SD delivery:

1. Create a PO with ME21N with receiving plant. The doc type should be UB (stock transport order)
2. Transfer the posting in supplying plant via MB1B with mvt type 351 (Tr. posting to stock in transit from unrestricted use)
3. Enter GR using 101 type

Order with SD delivery and without billing:

1. Create a PO with doc. type UB
2. Create the delivery in the issuing plant with mvt type 641 (Goods issue for a stock transport order). The Delv. type is NL
3. Enter the GR with movement type 101

With SD delivery and with billing:

1. Create a PO
2. Create the delivery with delivery type MLCC and movement type 643 (Goods issue for a cross-company stock transport order)
3. Enter the GR
4. Create the Invoice via MIRO

One of the reason why the stock transfer is not done via MIGO is that an accounting document will be created which will not be required for a plant to plant transfer within the same company code .
