Telstra's Third Party Purchases SCAM

On my 03Dec-02Jan bill, I have been charged $65.25 for "Third party purchases"from "Openmarket Pty. Ltd." These charges were for me receiving 14 text messages from a company I did not know or request any service from. I have complained at my local Telstra shop and been told that the charges were linked to my "Premium SMS" service - a service I never requested from Telstra. I was also told that Telstra was simply forwarding these charges to me - and the shop manager had no reply when I pointed at the bill's letterhead and said that no one else was charging me money for unsolicited services. I have reported this scam to the Telecommunications Ombudsman (TIO) and also to my MP Lucy Wicks. I am appalled that Australia's national telecom provider should be an accomplice to this disgusting attempt to rippoff customers. Please report here if you have also been subject to this scam.

Hi Alantun0I have just received my Telsytra Bill and there is a third party charge from Openmarket Pty Ltd for 16 Messages at a cost of $75.25. From the conversation with Telstra I beleive they are aware of this Company and the Scam it is operating but this was not directly admitted. However given the information I have found on the web they are aware of this scam. Tesltra's line of reply was that it must all be my fault. However I did not ask for these messages to be sent to me and I did not subscribe to them as was indirectly suggested. Telstra said they were only passing on the charge they had received from Openmarket Pty Ltd. I pointed out that if that was the case and it was nothing to do with Telstra and they were only passing on the charge there was no reason why they they could not remove the charge from may bill and ask Openmarket Pty Ltd to bill me direct. As you expected this logic received no reply from Telstra. Telstra are to call me tomorrow after aparently talking to Openmarket Pty Ltd. This is clearly a Scam that Telstra will have been aware of for some time and it would seem that they could have done something about by now. If no joy then I expect the next stage will be formal complains to Telstra, Openmarket Pty Ltd and the Ombudsman. If still not joy then we can only vote with our feet. Regards Chrispip.

Third-Party Purchase Orders

When not performing a goods receipt on third-party purchase orders, how does the PO get closed? We currently issue third-party POs, the goods ordered are delivered to our customer and the vendor invoices us. When the vendor invoice is entered, the customer is invoiced. But I'm finding that the purchase order we issued is never being closed/completed.

Hi Wanda,
Please ensure the PO, whether GR based IV indicator has been set or not. If set then you have to do GR & then IV. Else you can do the direct IV but in that case GR based indicator should not be set only IR.
Result of GR-
1. No stock update is made, as the goods receipt is posted to consumption
2.The value of the purchase order is posted to a GR/IR clearing account for the purposes of Invoice Verification.
3. The goods receipt can be tracked in the PO history.
This will serve your problem of closing/completing the PO.
For your info....
If the customer is to be billed in Sales and Distribution based on the invoice quantity specified in the vendor invoice, this quantity is used as the basis for the billing document in Sales and Distribution. The billing document can only be posted once the vendor invoice has been posted.
Thanx!!

Account Postings in Third Party Purchase Orders

Hi All
Please explain the Accounting Docs generation in Third Party
Purchase Orders in the following scenerios.
1. Purchase Order created against Sales Order and goods to be delivered to Customer.
2. Goods to be To be delivered to another vendor
3. Goods to be delivered to the another address(diferent from plant address).
Thanks ,
Tausif

Hi,
For 1. Previous answer is correct.
For 2. Goods to be To be delivered to another vendor
So vendor become customer, so the postings as in Case .1
(I think you the diff.between vendor & customer).
For 3. Goods to be delivered to the another address(diferent from plant address).
Whatever the address, the FI documents generated are same, The bill/Invoice from the Company send to the Billing address as mentioned by customer.
I think you get clear idea.

Integrate 'External non-SAP Purchasing Application' with SAP SD for third party purchasing/ drop shipping?

What is the best way to integrate 'External non-SAP Purchasing Application' with SAP SD for third party purchasing/ drop shipping?
Details about expected process Flow.
Receive PO from customer into SAP > SAP SD creates Sales Order > ?? SAP Integrate with External non-SAP Purchasing Application to trigger purchasing > External non-SAP Purchasing Application creates PO, Ships Material to Customer Ship to address (drop ship), Sends Shipping confirmation (FCR) & Invoices to SAP> ??Receive FCR and Invoice in SAP > ?? Initiate SAP Accounts Payable (Vendor Payments) and Accounts Receivable (Customer Invoice) > ?? Update SAP SD Sales Order with shipping status>
Questions we need to answer;
- How to achieve '??' steps from above process.
- What type of Master Data we will need to configure (Say Materials Item Category, Type etc.)
- Any standards options to configure SAP SD (Type of Sales Order)
- We certainly don’t want to trigger SAP MM Purchasing (i.e. PR, PO etc.). How can we bypass it.
- How to make statistical receipts against sales order line items so that SO status will be updated.
- How to receive Invoice and FCR from External non-SAP app to trigger AP and AR transactions.
- Are there any SAP standard configurations/ BAPIs/ BADIs available to achieve this integration.
Any inputs on above questions are appreciable.
Anand.

This question is resolved. We ended up activating purchasing module and used purchasing documents PR/ PO to integrate with third party purchasing system.

Come here and discuss the business process of Third Party Purchase Order?

come here and discuss the business process of Third Party Purchase Order?
when this po is used and the following process is what?

Hi YuLin
It is a vague topic..anyways i will tell you one important scenario of the 3rd party order :Third Party Without Shipping Notification(its imp one)
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you.
In this scenario, the vendor does not send a shipping notification. The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document is only possible after entering the invoice from the vendor
Function List
The following functions are provided to support the Third Party Without Shipping Notification (J55) building block:
When the order is created, the specification of material numbers, quantity and conditions takes place at item level. As the material is not available on stock, a purchase requisition is created directly within the sales order.
Purchase Order Processing
The purchase requisition can already be automatically assigned during creation. If not, it is possible to assign the purchase requisition manually. The purchase order is created with reference to the purchase requisition. The quantity and the material are transferred from the sales order. The purchase order price can now also be determined using condition records.
Vendor Invoice Verification
The vendor invoice verification must take place before customer billing. The quantity of the invoice updates the quantity to be invoiced in the sales order.
Billing Documents
The billing documents are carried out on the basis of the order. Since the vendor might not deliver the exact quantity ordered, quantity adjustment takes place through the quantity in the vendor's invoice.
Controlling
The revenue and costs will be posted to CO-PA via the billing document
Key Points
As no shipping notification is available, the customer invoice can only be created after having finished vendor invoice verification.

How can i get different Condition Type for third-party Purchase Order?

Hi, experts,
for standard PO my Schema works well. now I want to get a different condition type for third-party purchase order. I try to extend field catalog (Pricing Purchasing). The Field PSTYP exists already. However, it is not provided in the field catalog.
How could i do?
Thanks
Rene

Hi Rene,
If you are seeing fields in the field catalog but are not seeing this field when creating the condition table then the field probably does not exist in the KOMG structure for allowed fields for condition structures. KOMG represents the total of KOMK and KOMP which are the pricing communication structures. If your field is not there then you need to append it to item data in INCLUDE KOMPAZ in KOMP since this is an item level field. If it were a header level field you would append it to include KOMKAZ in KOMK. The inclusion of new fields in KOMK or KOMP automatically means that they are also included in KOMG.
After doing this you will see the field when creating a table. There is further documentation on this process in the IMG under SPRO-> Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Conditions-> Define Price determination Process -> System Enhancements - View the documentation associated to this node in the IMG
Hope this helps,
Matt

ALE Third Party Purchase

Hi gurus,
I tried to use item category ALES "ALE Third Party Purchase" in sales order and expected to have both purchase requsition and purchase order created when I saved sales order. It turned out only purchase requsition was created. Then I created purchase order from requsition manually, it worked fine. So is it possible to have purchase order created automatically? I checked every setting seems they are all right. Could anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks,
Tony.

Hi
You can either create PR or PO automatically. You cant create both of them continously through item category configuration.
To create PO directly from sales order, the item category of the material has to be TAS. Please configure the item category determination accordingly for the item.
For this the item category group of the material has to be BANS.
For triggering the PR automatically, you actually have to configure at Schedule line level adn not at IC level.
Hope this helps you

Third party purchase unit of measure issue.

Hi Friend,
I have created sales order for third party process unit of measure in sales order is in Meter qty is 3.7 mater.
But PR & PO id created in the unit of measure Piece i.e. 3.7 pieces.
GR is already done for qty 3 pieces. Now when user is trying to do GR for qty 0.7 pieces we are getting error message serial number management allows only whole number.
How can I do GR for this. Also I want to know what setting I need to do to have PO in unit of measure M i.e. Mater.
Thanks,

Its all about your material master unit of measure.
In Material master - Basic data 1 view - Base Unit of measure will be picked in PR.
In Material master - Purchasing - order Unit will be picked in PO (If blank, then base unit of measure)
In Material master - Sales Organization 1 - Sales unit will be picked in Sales Order.
And for your error message, please search in SCN, you will get many thread regarding the error.

Third party Purchase order processing

Dear Experts,
In one of our business scenario we are purchasing materials from vendor and directly supplied it to customer,physical goods receipt is not done at our location,for third party account assignment in mandatory.
I have given account assignment as sales order ( C ) and in item category I have mention(THIRD PARTY- S ).
When I go for Invoice posting I am getting error ie.Enter GL Account
Please advice how to resolve this issue.Also mention what setting are needed for Third party order processing against account assignment as sales order.
Thanks

Hi
If you are doing third party order processing,
While creating the Sales order, it will create a purchase requisition in the back end. ( For thid in sales order line item, item category should be TAS)
While converting the PR to PO( all the account assingment would be copied).
Check the line tem of PR or PO - Account assignment Tab - G/L account and Sales order no).
I beleive it will automatically pick the sales order no and account assignment( G/L account) for the line item while creating PR.
Check it out.

Raman

Third Party Purchase order

Hello Guru's,
Heres my scenario,
I have a BOM with components A,B,C and C is a subassemly which has a component D,
and C is purchased from a vendor X and D is Purchased from a vendor Y.
So when I create a Purchase order for D to the vendor Y,the vendor Y should send the material to the vendor X and this vendor X will now make the subassembly C using the material D.and send it to my plant.
Also vendor Y should bill me for the material and not the vendor X,
Also the goods reciept for the material D should be done at me and not at the Vendor X,
The Physical inventory for D should be maintained at the vendor X and the GR posting should be done by me
Please suggest how do i do the Third party order in this scenario.
Regs
Dardo

Hai,
      Here u r Purchasing material D from vendor Y means u need to create a PO aganist this vendor and u need to do GR to ur unristricted stock.
      Then create a PO for subcontracting to vendor X for material C. Issue material D to this Subcontracting PO with Mvt Type 541.
       For Billing also there is no problem u can settle the bill to Y for his supplies and U can settle Bill for X for his Subcontracting charges.
Ok any quries come back.
Bye

I think you are missing Note 1558299 on your system. Also Note 903884 might solve the problem although the description does not match.
