MRP generates Stock Transfer PRs when there exist a shortage of quantity between existing stock &
reorder point derived/maintained in material master.
Assign the Parent plant with Special procurement ‘U – Stock transfer’ as shown below:
Eg. Assigned Parent plant ‘5002’ with Special procurement ‘U’ for dependent plant ‘5001’ and Spl Proc
Type ‘40’.

2. Ensure to use Procurement Type ‘F - External procurement’ along with Spl Proc Type ‘40’ in the
‘MRP 2’ View of the dependent plant in material master.
Procurement type defines how the material is procured.
The following procurements types are possible:
• The material is produced in-house.
• The material is procured externally.
• The material can be both produced in-house and procured externally.
The procurement type can also be defaulted during material master creation based on the configuration
of material type as highlighted below:
We use special procurement when we want to be able to override the procurement type in the material
master or define the procurement type more precisely.
If the procurement type is in-house, you can nevertheless force the system to ignore the BOM and
routing, and process the material as if it were externally procured, by specifying the special procurement
as external.
Eg. Material has Procurement Type ‘F’ to indicate external purchasing, with Spl Proc Type ‘40’ indicating
the special procurement type is Stock transfer (proc.from alter.plant).
Assign Spl Procurement type '40' and Procurement type 'F' for receiving plant '5001" material master at

The document type of auto-generated ST PRs can be defaulted with the use of MRP Group.
Go to the following path to set the document type for the Plant & MRP Group combination:
SPRO ->Material Management ->Consumption-Based Planning ->Planning ->Procurement proposals -
>Define External Procurement
Click on the MRP Group and define the DocType ST for the ST PRs.
You can plan for all the materials in a Plant by running MRP Live via Transaction MD01N, but only for
those materials with above settings a ST PR can be raised to satisfy requirements. Eg. MRP Live run for a
single material ‘1000000007 ’ under dependent Plant 5001 to verify the generation of ST PRs to satisfy
the needs of the dependent plant 5001 via parent plant 5002.
