1. Business Requirement: Vendor number must be available in Inbound delivery of Stock Transport Order as it is a key field in 3PL interface.

Solution: When the STO processes with supplying plant, the vendor field will be blank in the Inbound delivery which is standard behavior. Generally, it won’t make any impact. As per the business requirement, you need to make the following settings to achieve the same.

1. Go to the configuration below to find the field selection key which is assigned to the STO Document type.

Materials Management –> Purchasing –> Purchase Order –> Define Document Types

• Go to the screen layout in the configuration below and ensure Supplying Vendor field is set as optional in place nothing selected. This configuration needs to be done to get the Vendor in STO.

Materials Management –> Purchasing –> Purchase Order –> Define Screen Layout at Document Level

Intra STO but you will see Vendor option like this.

Additionally, you need to create BP (Supplier master) with Plant Code GKP1 and assign the Plant under Purchasing view – Additional Purchasing data.

This solution can be used when the business expects proper pricing procedure and other supplier benefits too.
