Introduction

This blog post has been written to address common customer query on PAC in STO. When an intercompany purchase order (PO) is raised by one plant to procure stock in another plant, customer need to be able to specify a supplying/issuing storage location as well as the supplying plant.

When the issuing storage location is not editable then when the outbound delivery needs to be created at the supplying plant, it is necessary to first move the stock required on the purchase order to the default supplying storage location . After this generate the outbound delivery. This is an unnecessary extra step that complicates and makes the process less efficient

Configuration
