Drop ship

Hi,
I'm pretty sure there isn't an option for what I want to do, but I thought I'd ask just in case.
Is there an option in Presort to only assign drop ship level to pallets and leave trays as local entry. So, for instance, if I put BMC St Louis as a destination entry point in my presort and a pallet is created it would receive DBMC discount, but if it turned out there are only 20 tray feet going to St Louis and my threshold is 36 to create a pallet then those trays would be entered locally with no discount.
Monticello software can do this, but it would be easier to integrate with our system if it came out of Presort this way.
Thanks again.

What you can do in Presort is match up Entry Points to Schemes, so that not all Presort Schemes will be processed at each Entry Point.
In your example, you will need 2 Entry Points. One for BMC St. Louis and one for local entry. You could have more, such as all of the BMCs or SCFs, etc, but still just that one local entry. The local entry EP should come last.
Then set up your Presort Scheme blocks, such as:
STD, Letter Trays on Pallets
STD, Carrier Route Letters
STD, Automation Letters
STD, Regular Letters.
Now, we want to set the BMC entry points so that they process only the palletized mail. Set the EP parameter Scheme Nums this Entry Pt (See Note). = 1
In the local entry EP, set the parameter to Scheme Nums this Entry Pt (See Note). = 2,3,4
Now you will not get any trays at the BMC entry point. All of the trays will funnel to the local EP.

Drop ship purchase order creation using Pl/Sql code..

Hi,
We are creating the purchase order for drop ship orders.
1. Created order with line source as external and then we ran the workflow backround processor which created a requisition for the order, using this requisition we are trying to create a purchase order with autocreate functionality by using PO_INTERFACE_S. Is this the way to create a drop ship po from backend.
Can you please suggest any other way.
Thanks in Advance.
jagdish.

Hi,
You can customize the workflow such that it creates PO automatically, by selecting the attributes "Is PO Auto Creation Allowed?" to create PO after the requisition is created.
Requisition Import will call PO Create Documents w/f to create PO.
Plz get back to me if any clarification is needed.

Intrastat report in drop-ship process

Hi,
I have drop-ship scenario where plant country belongs to France ( FR) but actual shipment happens from Taiwan(TW).
Butin the sale order we use plant as France(FR) and shipping point as Taiwan(TW).Since these are drop ships dispatched from non EU countries i.e in my case Taiwan(TW), the intrastat report ignores it. i.e on the invoice document in the "Trade/Custom" tab both "Country of origin" and "Dispatch country" will show as France and the same is picked in Intrastat reporting.
But this is wrong since actual shipment has been done from Taiwan country . Therefore how can we change this to Taiwan i.e correct country. One way is change in the user exit of billing.
but is there any other way, i mean process wise ?. If we do third order sales process would this resolve problem. if so how can this be achieved.
What i have noticed is even in third party sales process it has the same problem.
Thankyou in advance

Thankyou for your reply.
even if i use Foreign Trade concept , but my plant in sales order is "France" and shipping point as "Taiwan", then the problem is instrastat will ignore Taiwan as a departure country , it shows only France as departure country , but it should be Taiwan. Therefore how can we resove this problem.
I dont want to change dispatch country as "Taiwan" using user-exit in invoice-> "customs/Trade" tab , because if i change this field then instrastat report will pick-up . But withoug user-exit how can we change via config or process wise.
Thanks in advance

Dear Nitishj,
If the strategy is MTS then in my understanding you cannot get any sales order order number with reference to
production made
Reason is in MTS production will be made collectively without reference to sales order
where as in MTO it does with reference to sales order

Drop ship line did not split, the material have partial receipts, can the PR and PO be canceled?

hello,
I need some help with this issue. We have a drop ship line that have 270 cartons in status awaiting receipt, but in the inventory already received 624 cartons. The line of that sales order needs to be closed now, to invoice the customer. But the PR and PO looks like OPEN.
I tried to manually split the line in the sales order. To have two lines; one with the 624 already received, and other one for the 96 cartons left. But an error message shows when i do this.
The error its : You are not allowed to split Order Line because:Line is released to purchasing
I found in the ORDER ORGANIZER when i chek the Sales Order, the ORDER SOURSE LINE REFERENCE the last line (which suppose to be splitted with the reception of the material) have a number lower than the line before it.
example: line 2.5 have OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL27231981 and line 2.4 OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL27232315
Can somebody help me with this?
i also found a bug in meta link but i think something can be done. bug 2281449.
Thank you,
Paloma Cadena

We had similar issues in the past. We solved them by doing a mini customization.
The customization created an short-text attachment of the type "Note to receiver" at the PR level. The attachment included the Sales order # and line#.
This attachment flows from the PR to PO and is also available to the receiving clerk during receipt.
However, once the PO is received, we did not transfer the information to onhand. I don't think one can unless the item was serialized or lot controlled.
Hope this helps,

Freight from PO or goods receipt into sales order in Third party drop ship

Hello!!!
We have a requirement where the freight charged by vendor in third party drop ship sales order scenario should show up in the billing document to customer. So we will create a sales order with TAS item category. This will create PReq and PO subsequently. Once the vendor delivers the goods to customer and we do the goods receipt in the system, we will bill the customer. While we bill we want to bring the actual freight charged by vendor to the customer billing document. Also we bill the customer as soon as we do the receipt and do not wait for the vendor invoice.
I am not sure if we can do this standard SAP but would like to if anyone has come across this scenario and what is the approach if we need to do this. We can have vendor send us the freight while doing the goods receipt but not sure how to transfer the value to sales order or to billing document directly.
Any help or idea is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

During GRN we cannot enter any value apart from the excise or customs duty, therefore the freight that you have incured at actuals cannot be captured during GRN and therefore cannot be transfered to the invoice also.
While creating invoice to the customer you can insert a freight condition type and enter the freight value manualy.
Generally in third party scenario we can only invoice the cust after purchase booking has taken place. In your case you want the cust invoice to be created based on grn, for that you have modify the copy control settings.

Value Credits for Stock Items - is this a viable solution? (Drop Ship Whs)

Hi all
I seem to have a solution for a long standing problem and have tested it but not tried it for real so was interested in your comments. It uses a drop ship warehouse to achieve the result but I donu2019t want to implement on site if it might also be doing things that I am unaware of. It all started off with some testing of drop ship warehouses, which I think is pretty poor functionality in B1, extract from my report below:
"The disadvantages of SAP drop ship functionality all centre around the fact that it does not generate stock movements. You lose audit trail and some reports that users may rely on eg stock usage. Also because there is no stock movement the item cost is not updated (ave or FIFO). This also means that you do not get a cost of sale on the sales order or invoice, if you have set the GP Base Price to item cost, and no COS in sales analysis. The sales invoice journal generated also does not post COS, just sales, but note that as there is still no stock transaction it can be invoiced before the PO receipt or invoice. And as the purchase receipt does not generate a stock transaction there is no journal and therefore no accrual (GRNI). The AP invoice just posts an expense to P&L but only when the supplier invoice is received. So it screws stock movements, item cost, sales analysis, P&L, BS accruals and there is little in the way of control."
However, this set me thinking about using it for value credits, report extract as below:
I realised whilst I was testing that the drop ship warehouse could be used very effectively to deliver a solution for something that has caused me much grief over the years. When you use the drop ship warehouse stock movements are never generated. Consider a customer who has been overcharged for goods and requires a credit. Historically, the advice has always been to issue a u201Cserviceu201D credit against a GL code because an u201Citemu201D credit document would book stock back into the warehouse and reduce the reported quantity of goods sold, which is not required. The downside of the service credit is that whilst GL postings may be OK sales analysis is now incorrect. But using a drop ship warehouse on the credit note line we get a document against the itemcode, stock is not updated and the credit value does appear in sales analysis as well as GL. Perfect! So we could create a warehouse, marked as a drop ship warehouse but clearly labelled as u201CVALUE CREDITS ONLYu201D, to be used for this purpose
What does anybody think about this solution - are there any downsides?
Thanks
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Your understanding of Drop Ship is mostly correct. The proposal sounds good. The main point of the Drop Ship function would be no stock involved. You really do not need to label it is bad or poor. It is only useful for people who need it. If you could utilize the function for your goal, go for it.
Thanks,
Gordon

Cost in invoice in the case of third party drop ship scenario

Hello ALL
We have third party drop ship scenario where vendor drop ships the goods to customer on our behalf and once we get the confirmation from vendor we bill the customer. The sales order line has TAS item category. When we raise the invoice the cost and billing quantity (because billing quantity is 'E' in copy control) comes from the goods receipt. The PO is an import PO and has custom duty (delivery cost conditon) as well. The custom duty is significant and hence when we create billing doc from sales order we want the custom duty also to come along with the material pirce as cost to the billing doc. Currently, the billing doc has material price from goods receipt as cost.
Can we get both price and custom duty as cost through some config or some change in PO pricing schema? Or is there an user exit that can be used to manipuate the same?
This is a common scenario in India and hence if anybody has come across this already and can share the solution, it will be great.
Thanks in advance.
Rajeev Jain

Hi,
You can do like this.
Create a cost condition type ( copy of VPRS) and place it properly in the pricing procedure. sub total field must be B to collect the cost. Place a account key and maintain the G/L account for it also.
In the requirement you can develop a new requirement saying that in case of TAS item category system should check for the cost of the item from a PO, and you can get the total of customs and price to by writing a logic. To develop the program and logic discuss with your developer.
Thanks,
Venkat Cheedalla

COPA - Third Party Drop Ship Returns - Vendor Discounts

Hello -
This is challenging so I hope some of you can help me please!
Can anyone explain to me how vendor discounts work in copa as they relate to third party drop ship returns? We use net vendor invoices where discount is taken at time of vendor posting and offset by clearing account.
We have several scenarios where we cannot reconcile FI and COPA for COGS account because of the discount on the vendor credit memo.
An example:
We have created the sales order and purchase order for the process. Then we do a migo and a miro from the vendor.
The vendor document has a discount of 1%, so if it costs $100, here is the accounting:
MIGO -
dr. cogs 100
cr. gr/ir 100
miro
dr. vendor discount clearing 1
cr. cogs 1
dr. gr/ir 100
cr vendor 100
then we bill the customer.
Copa at this point gets hit with 99 debit to cogs value field (100 -1 =99)
then we process the customer credit memo request.
Then we process the vendor miro credit.
dr. cogs 1
cr. vendor discount clearing 1
dr. vendor 100
cr. gr/ir 100
At the time the vendor credit memo is posted, sap inserts a new copa line-item on the customer billing document with $1.00 debit to copa.
then we reverse migo
dr. gr/ir 100
cr cogs 100
And then we bill the customer credit memo, which creates another copa document that credits copa with $99.00. why doesn't this create a copa document of -$100. this would help tie out copa and fi.
If you go through and look at all cogs postings on FI side, the credits and debits = 0
If you go through and look at the cogs posting in COPA, the credits and debits = 1
therefore, fi and co don't tie.
please give me any ideas that might help me.

Hi Valerio,
Have you found any solution for your issue?
We have a similar problem with 3rd party drop ship orders and COPA. Cost of Goods Sold Drop Ship is being charged when we use MR11 to clear GR/IR account. This is causing reconciliation issues between COPA and the General Ledger.
Let me know if you have come across any clues?
Thanks.

Drop Ship the item if stock is not available

Hi,
We have a requirement where,
A item is about to get expire (No more demand) but organization is having some stock of the item. So Purchase team has stopped procuring the item.
Now, when we receive any order for the specific item, client wants to look at the present stock and ship it if its available. If not, create drop shipment.
Does anyone aware of this functionality where a single item will behave as a stocked item if the stock is available and drop ship item, if stock is not available.
Any help will highly appreciated.

A given item CAN be procured internally or externally.
But that attribute is set when the sales order line is booked.
So you need some kind of a personalization that will look at the available qty of the item being ordered and then set the Source type to External if enough qty is not available.
Hope this helps

Can Drop Ship Warehouse be Utilized for Commission Only Business?

Our company has a small percentage of business where we act as a broker only. We process the customer orders, send the vendor POs and monitor the shipments, but we do not pay the vendor or collect the payment from the customer. The customer pays the vendor and then our company collects a commission from the vendor.
The documentation in the help file for drop ship warehouse seems to imply that this scenario is possible:
Drop Ship
Select this option to define the warehouse as a drop ship warehouse. Use when the company does not manage inventory, but receives commission for every order.
I have reviewed some webinars on Drop Ship warehouse. The scenarios shown culminated in creating A/P and A/R invoices which is not what we want to do. We are aiming for a Cashless transaction with commission being collected.
I have setup the drop ship items to have commission by item with the percentage in the Item Master.
Is this scenario possible in SAP B!? We have ver. 8.82 PL 05.
Thank you in advance.
Julie

Hi Julie
try this:
- one drop ship warehouse.
- items with commisions, all with warehouse by default.
- for these items you can create two prices lists, one with the sales prices and another with sales prices plus your commision.
- create a sales order; when your customer receives it you have to close.
- create a query to show you all closed sales orders between two dates, and the lines with two prices and the difference.
- now you know your commisions.
Kind regards.

G/L A/C Determination for Drop Ship and Regular Ship of Same Item

Hello Friends,
We have a scenario,
Stock is Sales order valuated stock
For the same material, some times we do a drop shipment from vendor and some times we do a regular shipment from our plant.
Being sales order valuated stock the GL account (On the PR generated from sales order) for drop shipment is getting picked up from BSX. (standard SAP)
Our Finance team dont want the G/L account from BSX to be picked up.
Because the BSX G/L account is a finish good G/L account and we dont want to use that for drop ship.
How do we solve this issue?
What is the standard process to get the G/L account if the same material is drop shipped and regular shipped?
Thanks for your help.
Thil

Hi,
The most common way to solve your problem is to use split valuation.
This can be easily done. I you want to know how to use split valuation let me know I will detail steps you need to follow.

Purchase Order for Drop ship sales order

We are on version SAP ECC6
We are having issues with the delivery address of a drop ship sales order getting copied correctly into the Purchase Order/purchase requisition.
The sales order is an sd and as the sales order is created on the partner section as they attach the ship to partner, they may add a phone number or a minor "tweek" to the customer ship to. When this gets converted to the po, the customer number (CMMDA-KUNNR) is not the ship to address it is reading but (CMMDA-ADRN2).
When the PO prints, the ship to address section is missing, it is blank and it seems to be the difference in the two fields.
I am interested to see how to resolve this issue as well as to understand the cause for populating the po as it does.
I appreciate your assistance on this.
Thankyou
Wanda Thivierge

The PO automatically gets the ship-to's address as delivery address.
with central address managment active (since 46c) SAP stores the addres in ADRC table, the address in customer master (KNA1) itself is just short duplicate. However, KNA1 table has the field ADRNR which is the link to the ADRC table.
Problems in print forms are usually caused by the programmers who changed the form to make it company specific. They often change the logic of standard SAP given forms and programs.
So I recommend to check with the programmer to print the correct ship-to adress.

ESYU: FAQ - Drop Ship Purchase Orders 2

Purpose
RECEIVING: Drop Ship PO's - Release 10.7, 11.0, 11.5.X, r12
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Q/A를 통해 Drop Ship Purchase Orders에 대한 이해도를 높인다.
Solution
Q8. Configurable Items은 Drop Shipped 가능한가?
A8: 현재는 Standard Items 만을 Drop Shipped 할 수 있다.
Configurable Items를 위한 functionality는 향후 release에 포함될 것이다.
Q9. Operating Units를 교차하여 Drop Ship을 할 수 있는가?
A9: Release 11i는 현재 이 functionality는 지원하지 않는다.
Q10. Drop Shipment에서 over/under shipment는 어떻게 처리하는가?
A10: 만일 drop-ship line의 일부만 ship 되고 나머지 수량에 대해 fulfill을 원하지 않는다면 line을 cancel 한다.
Over shipments 또한 manual 하게 처리해야 한다.
만일 supplier가 ordered quantity 보다 많은 수량을 ship 하였다면, customer에게 추가된 수량만큼
bill을 할 수 있거나 customer에게 추가 수량을 return 해 달라고 요청 할 수 있다.
Drop-ship Sales Orders와 이에 연계된 purchase requisition/orders 간의 차이를 보고 싶으면
Drop Ship Order Discrepancy report를 이용한다.
Q11. Drop Shipment와 Blanket PO's를 사용할 수 있는가?
A11: Blanket PO는 Drop Shipment와 같이 사용할 수 없다. 왜냐하면 PO는 OM이 PO에게 Drop Ship order가
생성되었음을 공지시 생성되어야 하기 때문이다.
Rececipt이 될때(partial or complete) 이 PO는 Drop Ship order와 link 된다.
Drop Ship lines은 pick release, ship confirm 혹은 INV interface order cycles을 이용하지 않는다.
Q12. Valid Blanket PO를 생성시 blanket agreement에 있는 item을 위해 drop shipment orders를 base로 하는
release를 생성하는 것이 가능한가?
A12: Yes, drop ship orders로부터 자동 혹은 autocreate window를 통하여 release를 생성하는 것은 가능하다.
만일 drop ship requisition이 correct blanket information(source)을 가지고 있다면
1. 요구되는 supplier site에 대한 ASL entry를 setup
2. Hierachy에 따라 어떤 assigment가 좀 더 알맞은지 결정하고, 요구되는 supplier/site를 가지고 요구되는
level에 따라 sourcing rule을 정의한다.
또한 위 supplier/site에 대한 ASL entry가 존재하는지 확인한다.
Profile option 'PO:Allow Automatic Sourcing' = Yes인 경우 automatic sourcing이 실행되며, creation date와
document type에 따하 source document가 자동으로 결정될 것이다.
Q13. Receive 후 Drop Shipment를 cancel 할 수 있는가?
A13: Oracle Purchasing에 한 번 receipt 한 후에는 Drop Shipment는 cancel 할 수 없다.
만일 Drop Ship Sales Order line을 cancel 하길 원한다면 cancel을 원하는 line에 대해 receipts은 없는지와
연계된 requisiton이나 purchase order가 cancel 되어 있는지 확인을 해야 한다.
Partial Deop Ship receipt에 대한 cancellation은 가능하나 아직 receive 되지 않은 부분에 대해서만 cancel
할 수 있다.
만일 모든 수량을 shipped 하지 않은 drop shipment line을 cancel 한다면 order processing은 line을 split 한다.
첫번째 line은 shipped 한 수량을 포함하고 두 번째 line은 non-shipped 수량을 backorder로 가지며,
이 두 번째 line(backorder)을 cancel 할 수 있다.
PO line 수량은 새로운 수량을 반영하기 위해 변경되어져야 한다.
Q14. Drop Shipment를 위한 debugging tools은 무엇인가?
A14: 1. Note 133464.1 - Sales Order의 troubleshooting problems을 위해 사용할 있는 diagnostic script를 포함.
2. Receipt transaction이나 Sales Order issue transaction debugging을 위해 아래 profile options을 set:
RCV: Processing Mode to Immediate or Batch
RCV: Debug Mode to Yes
OM: Debug Level to 5
INV: Debug Trace to Yes
INV: Debug level to 10
TP: INV Transaction processing mode to Background
- Sys Admin: Concurrent> Program> Define> query up the Receiving Transaction Processor and check the Enable Trace box
- Deliver Transaction을 위한 receipt을 저장 (Deliver Tranasction을 위한 destination type은 inventory 이어야 함)
- Receiving Transaction Processor log file, Inventory Transaction Worker log file, trace등을 review
Q15. Drop Shipment로 부터 생성된 PO의 status와 Import source는 무엇인가?
A15: PO status는 언제나 approved.
Import source: Order Entry
Q16. 관련된 Sales Order Line이 cancelled/closed 된 PO shipment를 receive 할 수 있는가?
A16: 관련된 Sales Order Line이 cancel 되었거나 closed 되었다면 PO shipment는 receive 할 수 없다.
이 PO shipment는 cancel 해야 하며, 필요하다면 새로운 Sales Order Line이 생성되어야 한다.

Note 225434.1

Hi Suda,
Yes, the purchase orders are created directly from the sales order, so there should be some sort of link between the two I would think. However, I may be wrong in this line of thinking.
The UDF would be on the header as our customer puts an entire sales order on only one purchase order.
Thank you for your quick response.

Drop ship, Sales order line quanity changes

At what stages can we able to change the line quanities on the sales order for the drop ship transaction type.
1. Book
2. Run purchase release from OM
3. Run requisition import from PO( Requistion creation)
4. Auto create PO
5. Approved PO.
Above are the steps to for dropship. I am wondering what are the stages we can chage the SO line quantity and indeed will get reflected in PO?
Thanks.

Hi Vinoth,
For a drop ship SO line, you can change the Qty till the Purchase Order is in Incomplete state i.e., before it is Approved. Once the PO is approved, you can't change the qty on the SO line. In case, you want to change the Qty, then perform some changes in the PO so that its status goes back to Requires Reapproval, then you will be able to change the SO Qty.
However, if you would want to override this functionality then you can go to the Processing Contraints & disable the same. This will allow you to change Qty even on an approved PO.
Additionally FYI, once the PO is approved, you can't change Schedule Ship Date & Ship To Address or Cancel line on the drop ship SO line. This functionality was incorporated from 11.5.10.2 as a part of Change Management for Drop Ship process.
Regards,
Hemanth
