Record Movement of Goods from Warehouse Using Stock Transport Order

When you need to transfer stock from one plant to another or between different storage locations within a plant you use stock transport order. The goods marked for movement are moved from a storage location and this movement from a storage area or a warehouse is recorded using the stock transport order (STO).

You can scan a material barcode directly from the Item screen to locate and filter the corresponding line item without first tapping the fuzzy search bar. For batch-managed materials, scanning the material barcode in the Batch field also retrieves and assigns the batch number, eliminating the need to enter it manually or select it from the dropdown.

The Item Overview screen displays the Batch, Date of Manufacture, and Shelf Life Expiration Date for batch-managed materials fields are displayed on, providing additional batch traceability information.
