👉 What is meant by Stock Transfer Order?

👉 There is a two plant, Plant 1 and Plant 2, If both of the plant are just nearby. So in that case, we will use 301 movement type immediately transferring from one plant to another plant.

What happens If the plant is far away from each other, in a different city what we can say. So in that case, two step will be used, Plant 1 will issue the material with 303 movement type and Plant 2 will receive the material through 305 movement type.

So in two step, 2 movement type will be used and in one step, 1 movement type will be used ✔
