Subcon using Stock Transport Orders

Hi SAP Experts,
We have a requirement for an Intercompany transaction wherein Plant A avails of services of a subcontractor who is Plant B. Plant A sends raw materials and the subassembly to Plant B. Then, Plant B produces the finished product and sends it back to Plant A. Finally, Plant B bills Plant A for services rendered.
To address this issue, we used the Intercompany STO with item category L (subcon). The only problem now is how will Plant B receive the materials sent by Plant A (via ME2O) with no value since this is a subcon process and Plant B will only bill Plant A for the labor costs.
Process used:
1. Plant A creates STO Subcon PO (ME21N)
2. Plant A issue out stock to Plant B (ME2O)
3. Plant B receives stock as unvaluated (???????)
4. Plant B produces FG
5. Plant B delivers FG to Plant A
6. Plant A receives FG
7. Plant B bills Plants A for labor
8. Plant A pays Plant B for services rendered.
Another important requirement here is that the material code sent by Plant A should also be the same material code sent by Plant B.
Is there a standard SAP functionality that deals with this?
Thanks in advance,
PJ

Hi,
As Ramakrishna told create another plant for sub contracting and mange material only as non valuated
or
Create another material type and maintain setting in such a way that in plant A it should have value and quantity , in plant B only Quantity
Thanks & Regards,

Commercial Invoice and Stock Transport Order

Hello Experts,
My client is using stock transport orders which sometimes results in cross border goods movement. I am not able to find any functionality for creating commercial invoices to be used for these types of shipping.
Any ideas?

Hi Gar,
Usually when there is a crossing of borders, it is a movement between 2 different companies code, therefore the intercompany purchase is the usual flow.
If you mean that the flow is between plants of the same company code between different countries, maybe you are talking about "Plants abroad" functionality.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/34/60b1a0ae724effe10000009b38f91f/content.htm
Previously, the plants of a company code had to belong to the country of that company code.
As of Release 4.0A, it is possible to deviate from this rule for European company codes with European plants.
I never had to use this functionality at a customer site, but that sounds like your requirement
Also allows internal billing document for intrastat reporting, so feel free to evaluate!

● Vendor master u2013 supplying plant
Create the vendor for the purchasing organization of the receiving plant.
Assign the vendor to the supplying plant in the vendor master record.
From the menu, choose Logistics ® Materials Management ® Purchasing ® Master Data ® Vendor ® Purchasing ® Change (Current). Go to the Purchasing View and choose Extras ® Additional Purchasing Data.
● Customer master u2013 receiving plant
Create a customer master record for the receiving plant. From this, both the address and the data that is relevant for shipping point determination, such as transportation zone and shipping condition are taken.
From the menu, choose Logistics ® Sales and Distribution ® Master Data ® Business Partner ® Customer ® Create.

Plz check this link for tht information.
So, basing on this: I have customer 1 and vendor 1 for CC1......
--> Customer 1 is assigned to the receiving plant with sales area1 in setup STO configuration.
--> Vendor 1 is assigned to the supplying plant in the vendor master.
--> My question for u is:
1) In ME21N, in the vendor field u assign the vendor from CC1 or CC2 (Because it says the vendor - external supplier if u read in F1 in tht vendor filed)
Company code , Purc Org, plant all this will be from CC1 in ME21N, right?????????
Material exists in both the plants P1 and P2.......right?????
2) How to configure the inter - company accounts for the billing in sd for this STO scenario.???
Please clarify these things.....
You will be appreciated and rewarded too.

Intra Company Stock Transport Order

Hi,
This is a scenario of Intra Company Stock Transfer (using Stock Transport Order with document type UB) from one manufacturing plant to another manufacturing plant within the same company code.
I have created STO, prepared Outbound Delivery with T-Code VL10B and did PGI. Billing was done with T-code VF01 and Outbound Excise Invoice was created with T-Code J1IIN
While doing Goods Receipt in the Receiving plant with the T-code MIGO, when I referred the outbound excise invoice that was created in the previous step with the T-code J1IIN (put Excise Invoice No. and Date), I got the following error message "Excise invoice doesn't exist in the supplying plant" and not any Excise Value is flowing from the Excise Invoice in the screen of MIGO.
The CIN configuration and master data in J1ID seems to be ok.
Please provide the expert opinions to overcome the issue.
Thanks in advance
Rajesh Praveen

I did Goods Receipt with reference to Outbound Delivery in the Receiving Plant without referring any Excise Invoice Number (as our system has been designed now like this). I updated part RG23A part 1 using the material document number (generated as a result of Goods Receipt) in J1I5.
Now I am trying to post RG23A part 2 in J1IEX with reference to the material document number (generated as a result of Goods Receipt) and putting the Excise Number created in J1IIN earlier. The system is picking BED, ECS and SECess values but the value of Base Value is not being picked up as a result of which I am not able to post the Excise Invoice.
Please provide some idea to resolve this
Thanks in advance

Automatic Post Goods Issue Of Stock Transport Order

Here is the scenario:
We are using stock transport order to logically move inventory from one company to another company inside the same physical location. The material# is the same but the plant# is different.
Process is as follows:
Associate enters the purchase order
If inventory exists - delivery is created automatically
The delivery is also auto picked
Currently, we have the inventory to PGI in a batch job several times a day.
However, the user would like to have the inventory - move as soon as the delivery is created.
Does anyone know of any technique - to post the inventory immediately.
I was thinking along the line of a workflow/create of an idoc (WHSCON) to faciliate this.
Kind Regards, Steve

You could simply scedule the batch job to PGI right after the delviery creation job runs (just delay it a few seconds after the longest period of time the delivery creation job runs).
So there would only be a very short delay, Looking at vl10g now to see is auto PGI is an option but I am thinking it is not
(I will update my post if I find it is)
Edit: It doesn't look like a standard option but I would imagine you could change a function code profile with custom user exit to trigger goods issue

How to implement issuing stock in-transit for stock transport orders

Hello,
We are using stock transport orders in SAP. At the moment the supplying plant does a post goods issue for the delivery, the stock in-transit is "owned" by the receiving plant. Our Finance department wants this to be changed in such a way that the stock will be owned by the issuing plant until it has been received by the reciving plant.
It seems there is a possibility to do that, but I can not figure out what exactly needs to be done. Can someone explain to me the steps that need to be taken to implement this?
Thanks,
Ed

Try MB5TD. Please also check OSS notes 1120843, 1268193, 925384.

2 Step Stock Transfer Using WM Transport Order??

Dear SAP expertes,
I have a problem, I think a lot of you too; that is stock transfer in 2 steps from one storage location to another (mov. types 313-315), but using o referencing a reservation.
SAP says that is not possible create reservations for 2 step stock transfer in MM, but also says use "Stock Transfer Orders" instead, that means use module WM.
Do anyone could transfer stock from one storage location to another using WM Stock Transfer Orders? I tried, but couldn't make it. In anyone have documention to do this I will appreciate it a lot.
Best regards,
Favio.

Hi Jürgen L.
I was checking SAP Note "28692 - MMIM: Reservation for a two-step stock transfer", and you were right, they say "Use the stock transport order instead of the stock transfer reservation".
I confused with WM stock tranfer order, but I want to ask you if you have used UB transport order between storage location of the same plant?
Best regards,
Favio.

Stock Transport Orders within AII, also using HUM

Dear all,
we currently have the following issue at my customer:
We are implementing SAP AII on top of an existing solution, using WM and HUM.
In the current solution for STOs from 1 plant to another, the GI of an outbound delivery triggers the SPED output and an inbound delivery will automatically be created in the receiving plant, copying the batches and HUs. All pretty standard so far.
However, when using AII, the GI of the outbound delivery triggers an eASN, which will load the serial numbers in AII and at the same time create an inbound idoc DESADV that is supposed to create the inbound delivery in the receiving plant. IF we would not be using HU, this process works fine and the IBD is created. BUT when using HU's we get the message that the HU is already GI'd and cannot be used again.
When we take out the HU of the idoc, have the inbound delivery created and later on add the HU manually to the delivery it works fine as well, so the error is really linked to the idoc (HUSELECT008). We have already checked each and every note related to inbound idocs and the mentioned error, but no solution was found.
Did any of you also experience this problem while implementing AII for a complex environment with STO's?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Please go thru the following navigation to set up STO between Storage location with delivery.
SPRO-> Material management -> Purchasing -> Purchase order -> Set up stock transport order -> step up stock transport order between storage locations
In first step Activate Stock transfer between storage locations and do other configurations.

if you only have to display deliveries and stock transport orders you can take LIKP and LIPS for the deliveries and LTAK and LTAP for transport orders.
for all the other elements displayed by MD04 we would have to know about your setup: are you using dispo-areas (which would populate tables MDMA ...) so in that case please provide more information.

Proforma Invoice (F8) for Stock Transport Order

With regard to intra-company STO, we have a specific requirement:
Referencing delivery document generated using Xn: VL10B (delivery from Stock Transport Order), we create proforma invoice type F8. Subsequently, excise invoice is created referencing the proforma invoice.We need to capture the material cost plus 10 % of material cost as PR00 value in the invoice.
Problem:
However, here comes the problem: condition type PR00 does not come automaticcally in the proforma invoice, though pricing procedure has PR00 condition type. We have to manually entere the PR00 condition type for every line item (a routine calculates 110% of the value once value is enetered in the manually entered condition)
Is it the standard system behaviour ? Any way out?
with kind regards
Muraleedharan.R

Hi,
Have you maintained the condition records for PR00 , if not than you have to enter it manually at the item level .
If your price is same for all the items than maintain use header condition or else at item level you have to enter PR00 item by item.

Commitment Item error in Stock transport order

Hi all
I have a stock transport order (STO) for a material non valuated in both sending and receiving plants.
While creation , there is an error with respect to completion of an "committment item" *.
If I input the committment item in STO create transaction in R3 , the STO is saved (permitting blank account assignment for the STO item as intended) and there is no further issue till post goods issue in sending plant or GR in receiving plant.
The problem is however that this STO is triggered from APO and transferred via CIF to R3 while there is no chance to input the commitment item. This results into a CIF error with the STO not created in both R3 and APO.
Is there a way I could bypass this "committment stuff" in this situation?
Thanks in advance
Anton
*The exact error message is as follows;
" No commitment item entered in item 00001 plant < >
Message no. FI311
Diagnosis
The posted document contains at least one company code in which Funds Management, Cash Budget Management, or Project Cash Management is active. Therefore you must enter a commitment item in all involved company codes.
Procedure
Enter a commitment item.
If you cannot enter a commitment item, check with your system administrator that your account assignment derivation is adjusted so that the system can automatically derive a commitment item from another account assignment, or from the G/L or cost element. "

Hi,
Did you try using derivation rule using FMDERIVE in case funds management is active.
Please also refer to the link below which guides on the item category to be assigned in Commitment item.

Impact of different division on Stock Transport Order

We have a situation where we have one plant with one customer number, but we have 2 business areas of material going through it. Example: The material exists in divison 10 business area 15. The customer is configured to business area 15. No problem here. But we also have material in division 10 business area 13. The financial postings are correct, as the material comes out of 13 and goes into 13 on the receiving end, however on the stock transport order, it will show 10/15. What is the impact of this? Will it affect reports? Do we need a separate plant for 10/13? The configuration will not work with the business area blank.
Please advise. Thank you.

Hi
A product or service is always assigned to just one division. From the point of view of sales and distribution, the use of divisions lets you organize your sales structure around groups of similar products or product lines. This allows the people in a division who process orders and service customers to specialize within a manageable area of expertise.
The system uses divisions to determine the sales areas and the business areas for a material, product, or service.
So by changing division you are changing business area also. And you have cross and vertical reports business area wise and division wise. So standard report will not go wrong.

Antony
