Stock Transfer Order by SD route

In a company, goods movements do not only occur in the form of goods receipts and goods issues. Depending on the organization of the company (for example, decentralized storage) and its sales policy, internal stock transfers might also be necessary.
Stock transfers can occur at three different levels:

1) ST for Cross Company Plants

If the plants involved belong to different company codes, the transfer between plants is also a transfer between company codes. In this case, the system creates two accounting documents when the goods issue is posted. The stock posting is offset against a company code clearing account.

2) ST from plant to plant  within same company code

A stock transfer from plant to plant not only leads to a change in stock quantity in both plants; if both plants are assigned to different valuation areas, an accounting document is also created.

3) From storage location to storage location (in the plant)

A stock transfer from storage location to storage location in the same plant simply causes an update of the stock quantities in both storage locations. It is not relevant for accounting.

Configuration of Plant to Plant STO & Return STO:

E1 Sales procedure

E-1, E-2 are the names of the forms issued for declaring that the goods are sold/purchased in transit.

E-1 sales.:
In this 3 states/ parties are involved during the transportation of goods. And as per the state tax laws, upon entering each state, a central tax of 4% for each is state is payable. However if the goods are redirected or endorsed to a different party then to avoid multiple taxation, this sale in transit is applied.

i. e.
Customer/Purchaser:  Mr. A at MP
Trader/Dealer:             Mr. B at Gujarat
Manufacturer:              Mr. C at Maharashtra

 A Customer/Purchaser Mr. A (MP) want to buy some products from Mr. B (GJ) which is product expert. But B hasn’t stock with him so he will contact his friend Mr. C (MAH) which is a manufacturer.
Now, Mr. B will ask Mr C to sell it to him, but deliver it to Mr A.
Invoice:

   Mr. C to Mr. B (Mr. B as buyer and Mr. A as consignee) with 4% CST for MP-MAH.
   The products will go directly to Mr A (MP).
   Mr. B (GJ) also raise invoice to Mr. A. (w/o Sales tax, with its profit, final payment)
So, CST is already applied to inv from Mr. C to Mr. A for actual good delivery, Mr. A do not required to pay additional sales tax for inv from Mr. B. This will save tax to Mr. A of MP from being taxed at GJ.
Forms involved:
   Mr. A will issue a C form to Mr B.
   Mr. B will issue a C form to Mr. C.
   Mr. C will issue an E-1 form to Mr. B
And if above sequence is broken at any point the party liable (Mr. A) shall have to pay 10% as CST.

In this case Form E-1 is for claiming exemption from CST on subsequent sale. So, that Mr. B can raise invoice w/o sales tax.
