3PLS Scenario for Service Industry

Hi All,
How do we map SAP B1 Solutions for service Industry.
Scenario 1.
My client gives warehouses on rent to their customers to store their Inventory. My client provides the Labour required for that particular warehouse and transportation if required.
Scenario 2. (3PLS) (Third Party Logistics Services)
My client takes warehouses, Labour and Transportation on rent from Vendor and gives to customer on Rent.  Their customer stores their inventory in that warehouse.
My doubt is that can we maintain customers inventory  at out client place. if yes, How to map the scenario.
Regards
Shashi

Hi,
We can have work solution for this service process mapping.
Any work around solution in B1 there has to be financial implication on that. So we have to be very careful on defining GL Account Determination and its financial implication.
And that will be accounted in our books of accounts.
Here we will receive only charges out of from the services, what we have to given the service to them, for this we will do service invoice (AR Service Invoice) to account those charges.
For Inventory Tracking what we need to do is to pass the goods receipt or goods issue document with out the item cost. Here we have to assign inventory account and inventory off set account and we need define an item for to maintain a stock and also the warehouse and Item Group which we are going to maintain a stock. All are the document involves financial implication.
Charges should be accounted through service invoices and inventory tracking should go through goods issue and goods receipt document (Inventory Transaction in Inventory Module) .
Please consult a Finance person before going to do that these configurations. But it is possible in B1.
Thanks and Regards,
Senthil Maruthappan.

  • Third party scenario for service procurement

    Hi,

  • Inter company Billing for service industry

    Hi,
    I never workded over inter company billing.Please suggest me what to do? I am in a service industry project where no delivery takes place.So how should i go about for intercompany billing configuration?
    Thanx in advance.
    Regardds,
    Satya

    Dear Satya,
    You can create the inter company bill with refrence to the service order
    To do inter company billing settings go through this IMG path
    IMG>Sales and Distribution>Billing-->Intercompany billing
    Process steps for normal inter company process with delivery.
    INTER COMPANY BILLING
    Definition:
    A company arranges direct delivery of the goods to the customer from the stocks of another company belonging to the same corporate group.
    To put in simple terms, Company code A orders goods through its sales organization A from Plant B belonging to Company code B.
    It is imperative that both Plants A & B should have the material. In other words, the material is created for both the Plants A & B + their respective storage locations.
    Sales Organizations and Plants are uniquely assigned to Company codes. It is not possible to assign either a plant or a sales organization to more than one company code.
    Sales organizations and plants assigned to each other need not belong to the same company code.
    In other terms, a plant belonging to Company code A & assigned to Sales Organization A can also be assigned to Sales Organization B of Company Code B. This enables cross company sales.
    PARTIES INVOLVED
    1) End Customer 2) Ordering Company code 3) Supplying Company Code.
    End customer:
    Customer who orders goods from the ordering company code.
    Ordering Company Code:
    Which orders goods from Plant belonging to Supplying Company code through its sales organization and bills the end customer.
    Supplying Company Code:
    Supplies goods from its plant to the end customer specified by the ordering company code and bill the ordering company code.
    CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
    Assign Delivery Plant of the supplying company code to Sales Org + Distribution channel of the Ordering company code in the Enterprise Structure.
    DEFINE ORDER TYPES FOR INTERCOMPNY BILLING:
    Menu path: IMG/ SD/Billing/Intercompany Billing/Define Order Types for Intercompany billing
    Assign Organizational units by Plant:
    Menu Path: IMG/ SD/Billing/Intercompany Billing/Assign Organizational units by Plant.
    Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization:
    Menu Path: IMG/ SD / Billing/ Intercompany Billing/ Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization:
    Creating / Showing Ordering Sales Organization as Internal Customer for Supplying Company code:
    Transaction Code: XD01
    The ordering sales organization is represented as Internal customer of Supplying company code.
    We need to create customer master in Account Group - Sold to Party and maintain minimum required financial & Sales Area data.
    This internal customer number has to be assigned to the ordering sales organization. Hence, the system automatically picks up this Internal customer number whenever there is Intercompany billing.
    PRICING:
    We need to maintain two pricing procedures RVAA01 & ICAA01. Pricing procedure RVAA01 represents condition type PR00 & any other discounts or surcharges that are meant for end customer.
    We assign Pricing procedure RVAA01 to combination of Sales area (Of Ordering company code) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure of Sales document type.
    This pricing Procedure (RVAA01) is determined both at Sales Order level & Billing processing for the end customer. We maintain PR00 condition type to represent the ordering company code's price to the end customer.
    Condition records for PR00 are maintained using organizational elements of Ordering company code, end customer & the Material.
    Eg: Sales Org. of Ordering company code + End customer + Material.
    We also need to maintain PI01 condition type to represent costs to Ordering company code (in other words revenue to supplying company code). It is statistical condition type & meant for information purpose only.
    Condition records for PI01 are created with the following key combination:
    Ordering sales Org + Supplying Plant + Material
    Pricing Procedure ICAA01is determined at Intercompany billing processing level.
    Pricing Procedure ICAA01 - Pricing Procedure for Inter company billing is assigned to the combination of: Sales Area (of supplying company code) + Document pricing Procedure of Billing document type IV + Customer Pricing Procedure of the Internal customer.
    Pricing Procedure ICAA01 has condition type IV01 that represents revenues for Supplying company code in the intercompany billing.
    PR00 condition type also appears in Intercompany billing document. It is for information purposes only and does not have bearing on the value of the document.
    PI01 represented under pricing procedure RVAA01 is reference condition type for IV01 and the same is defined in the condition type IV01. Due to this these two condition types represent same value.
    The condition type IV01 in intercompany billing document represents revenue to the Supplying Company. But its corresponding condition type PI01 in the billing document to the end customer is shown as a statistical item meant for information purposes.
    In your requirenment there will not be delivery process in between service sales order and the intercompany bill so do the settings accordingly in the copy controls between service sales order type and inter company billing type.
    I hope this will help you,
    Regards,
    Murali.

  • Proceeding document for service order

    In the case of recall/upgrade for service industry, product service letter can be created as a proceeding document for service order. I used to 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H for the service order. The BI content ODS for service order header is 0CRM_PROH. It contains an infoObject for proceeding document 0CRM_PREDOC. But it is not mapped in the transformation.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. which source field should 0CRM_PREDOC be mapped to?
    2. is it possible to include produce service letter in regular service order? The object type for produce service letter is BUS2000210. I noticed only BUS2000116 (service order) is being extracted via 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H.
    Thanks,

    Hi Gopal,
    Try the following:
    1.Lets say the Name of your Business Object is ReservationBO with the attributes Reserv_No and create_date as you mentioned.
    2. Create an operation say createReservation in your Application Service with reserv_No and create_date as parameters.
    3. What you want is call the operation createReservation of the application service and  this operation creates the ReservationBO object with the Reserv_No and create_date set to the values passed as the parameters to the operation of the Application service.
    4. In order to do this, add the ReservationBO as a dependency to your Application Service.
    5. By doing this you will be abl to access the ReservationBO by 'getReservationBOService()' method.
    6. Now write teh code similar to the following in the createReservation operation of your Application service with the parameters reserv_No and create_date:
    public void ReservationBO createReservation(java.lang.String   reserv_No,  java.sql.Date  create_date)throws com.sap.caf.rt.exception.CAFServiceException
          //Create the ResevationBO object and get a refrence to it
         ReservationBO resrv =     getReservationBOService().create();
          //set the attribute values of the created ReservationBO object
         resrv.setReserv_No(reserv_No);
                     resrv.setReserv_No(create_date);
          //Update the created resrvation BO object          
                         getReservationBOService().update(resrv);

    This scenario includes the following process steps:
    Creating a service notification
    Changing the service notification (optional step)
    Check the task list
    Creating a sales order
    Change the sales order
    Changing the service order
    Time recording

    Key Points
    Service Order
    Definition
    Short-term agreement between service provider and service recipient, in which one-time services are ordered by the service recipient and resource-related billing performed upon completion.
    A service order contains the following data groups:
    Header data
    Location and account assignment data
    Object data
    Settlement data
    Operation data
    Component data
    Use
    The service order is used to document service and customer service work. In particular, you can use the service order to:
    Plan services specifically with regard to usage of material, utilities and personnel
    Monitor the execution of services
    Enter and settle the costs which arise from the services
    The data for the service order is entered in the history and is important for evaluations and future planning.
    You can also create a one-time customer in the order and transfer the data, for example, to the sales order. For more information, see Transfer of One-Time Customer Data and One-Time Customers and Vendors.
    Structure
    A service order contains operations that describe the individual work steps. An operation can be divided into sub-operations for greater detail.
    Spare materials and utilities, which are required for service work, can be planned in the operation.
    Integration
    Using the "worklist for notifications" for a maintenance or service order, you can group together similar notifications for processing. For more information, see Completion Confirmation.
    Services at several similar objects installed at the customer can also be processed using a service order.

  • Doubts in creation of PO for service PR in classic scenario

    Hi everyone,
    I'm working with SRM 5.5 in a classic scenario.
    I have the following process:
    1. A PR for services is created in ECC (Item Category "D")
    2. The PR is transferred to SRM as SC
    3. A bid invitation is created in sourcing cockpit
    4. A bid is accepted
    5. A PO is created.
    In the 5th step the PO is created locally in SRM. Is this the standard behavior?? Why is not created in R/3?
    Thanks,
    Ivá

  • SRM-SUS for Service Entry Sheets - Classic Scenario

    Hi SRM Gurus,
    Our client wants to use SRM-SUS for the Service Entry Sheets (to being with and then later expand more in other SRM areas). The lead system will be R/3 system.
    We will be going with ECC 6.0 and SRM 5.0.
    Service Order will be created in R/3 and replicated into SRM (SAP have said this is new functionality in SRM 2007 and SAP will provide us with this functionality in SRM 5.0 as well)
    SAP are also recommending using MDM for hosting the catalogs for service entry sheets to enable vendors to selete their items during the confirmation / filling the service entry sheets. - they say this is mandatory
    SAP are also asking for XI for the data to be transferred from R/3 to SRM (and may be vice versa) - they say this is mandatory.
    Few questions:
    1) What kind of hardware size are we talking about to have SRM-SUS, MDM, XI and Portal (PI)
    2) Are MDM and XI mandatory as said by SAP and if yes, in what scenarios. What is they way around
    3) How good is the functionality provided by SRM-SUS for Services? Is it as good as in R/3 (or even better)? We will be having complex Services in our scnearios.
    4) What can be a typical time to install SRM-SUS, MDM, XI and Portal in the Dev environment to get moving onto the project?
    An early response shall be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Rahul

    few answers to your questions
    1) what is the release of SRM  you want to work with?
    2) services in SUS is not available as standard , and will be provided by SAP as consulting up on request.
    3) for hardware requirements , please refer to the master guide for the srm release you will be working on -->
    and also you can refer to the software component matrix in master guide --> to see if any component is mandatory..
    4) XI and MDM as far as i know is mandatory for SRM 6.0 and above , But in SRM 5.0 , XI is compulsory.
    5) so xi is mandatory in anyway in SUS as different systems are involved and therefore is required for routing the documents correctly.
    6) time for installation again depends on your supplier base , and your level of expertise.
    7) it is not always recommended to compare between two different systems , R/3 and SUS are different and so functionality will not be the same
    8) but as far as i know R/3 is stronger functioanlly..

  • Business scenarios for the Steel industry

    Dear All,
    I need the various business scenarios used in the steel industry for the procurement and inventory management. In case anyone have worked on an implementation project for Steel industry can you please guide me which are the major scenarios common to all steel industries?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Here are a few scenarios which I have worked:
    1.Steel is usually procured in the form of plates of different dimensions (length, width & thickness).
    To capture this, you can activate material class (class 001) for material master.
    You can create your own class and have these dimensions as characteristics.
    While creating material codes, you can capture the dimensions as characteristic values..
    This way, you can maintain the uniqueness of material codes in the system.
    2. Steel is usually procured in bulk from various sources, both domestic and imports.
    As such, the price of the same material may vary depending upon the source and also when it was procured.
    Hence, it becomes a necessity to manage the different lots separately.
    You can activate batch management in inventory or better still, Split valuation by batch to handle this.
    3. If steel is procured for specific project, then the purchase requisition/purchase order will be for specific Project (WBS element).
       This means you will be working with a/c assign.categ "Q"
    4. You can have Order unit that is different from base unit (Stock keeping unit.)
        you can maintain suitable conversion factors for the same.
    5. While issuing steel to Production, the big steel plates may be cut into smaller pieces and issued.
        So, you can have a different unit of issue in material master along with conversion factors.
    6. If your client is having tender system for procurement, then you can have the RFQ to handle this.
        You can have different loading factors to assign different weightages for vendors while maintaining Quotations.
         You can go for an enhancement to RFQ screen to capture extra fields relating to tender.
        You can have a Z form to output tender comparative statement as per client requirement.
    Hope the above info is useful to you.
    Regards
    Prabhu
