  A Stock Transfer Order (STO) is a document used to transfer materials from one plant to another within the same company. It is used in SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module and is part of the Inventory and Production Planning (IBP) and Resource Management (RM) components. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The STO document is created in the SAP system and contains information about the material being transferred, such as quantity, unit of measure, and delivery date. The document also contains information about the source and destination plants, as well as any special instructions for the transfer. Once the STO is created, it can be used to track the progress of the transfer and ensure that it is completed on time.

This includes the source and destination plants, as well as any special instructions for the transfer. Additionally, it is important to double-check that all of the information in the STO is accurate before submitting it for processing.
