Symptom
When creating an inbound delivery from a Stock Transport Order (STO), the Partner/Supplier field is not automatically populated.
The supplying plant is correctly maintained in the Stock Transport Order, however, the corresponding Supplier/Partner is not determined in the inbound delivery.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
The supplying plant is not assigned to the corresponding Business Partner in the Supplier role.
For Stock Transport Order scenarios, the relationship between the supplying plant and the Supplier Business Partner must be maintained. If this assignment is missing, the system cannot automatically determine the corresponding Partner/Supplier during inbound delivery creation.
Resolution
Maintain the supplying plant assignment in the corresponding Business Partner:
- Open the relevant Business Partner.
- Select the Supplier role.
- Navigate to Supplier: General Data → Additional General Data.
- Assign the corresponding supplying plant.
- Save the Business Partner.
After maintaining the assignment between the Supplier Business Partner and the supplying plant, create or process the inbound delivery again and verify that the Partner/Supplier is determined automatically.
