3rd Party Consignment Process - Schedule Line Not Confirmed

Below is the process that is being followed in the system:
1) Consignment Fill Up is created with materials having Item Category as "Consignment 3rd Party ".
2) A Purchase Requisition is automatically created as soon as the Order is saved.
3) A Batch Job runs periodically that removes the check "X" in the field "Account Assignment Category " from the Purchase Requisition.
4) After the X is removed from PR, another Batch Job runs that creates the Purchase Order from Purchase Requisition.
5) After PO creation, Delivery is created from Consignment Fill Up Sales Order. (Vendor directly delivers the material to Customer and the PGI of delivery moves the Stock into Consignee's account)
Issue that happened in the System:
1) A Consignment Fill Up was created with 2 materials having item category as "Consignment 3rd Party "
2) A Purchase Requisition was automatically created.
3) "X" was removed from "Account assignment category" field in PR by the Batch Job. Removal of this "X" breaks the link between the Fill Up Order and Purchase Requisition.
4) After this, Purchase Orders were created for both the materials.
5) Now, in the Consignment Fill Up, Sales Unit was changed from KG to LB for line item 10. This caused the Schedule Line for line item 10 to change its status from "Confirmed" to "Not Confirmed" and Confirmed Quantity = 0.
6) Now, when the delivery was created for the Fill Up Order, only Line Item 20 was delivered.
7) The main issue here is - How to create the Delivery for line item 10 from Fill Up OR How to confirm the Schedule Line for line item 10 ??
Is there any way out by which the line Item 10 can be seen in VL10H or VL01N ?
Note: We cannot change any configuration as we only have display access for the configuration.
One solution could be - To reject the Line Item 10 in the Fill Up Order and then creating a fresh Fill Up Order for the same material and same quantity and then, deliver it. This would also move the Material Stock into Consignee's Account.
But, if there is any workaround available by which we can deliver the Line item 10 without rejecting it, please let me know.
Thanks n advance for your suggestions.

Hello,
the proposed solution seems correct to me: check if when creating the new item, you have the option to choose an alternative item category not creating a Purchase request but getting material from available stock.
If you simply create a new item, its account assignment category will expect to get the material to be delivered from special stock E assigned to that item.
Anyway if this doesn't work you don't have many alternatives: why don't you ask to the SAP support team or to the IT to solve this issue?
Best regards,
Andrea

Schedule Lines not confirmed for Consignment Fillup

Hi
I created Consignment Fillup, Schedule lines are not confirmed, even though stock is available in MMBE.

Check what schedule line category is flowing. I believe it should have been E1 and in VOV6, for this schedule line category, the box "Availability" is checked. Next go to material master and check whether the availability check is either 01 or 02 is maintained.

Make to order production - schedule line not confirmed

Hi,
I created a " make to order production " having few normal materials & few supersession materials.
created PO, GR,invoice, all done.PO is updated in sales order.
Schedule line is automatically confirmed for normal materials, but not confirmed for supersession materials.
can anybody tell me , how schedule line can be automatically confirm for supersession materials.
Thanks.

Is your scenario a third party one? After you finished GR for the PO, have you checked inventory of those materials? But I still didn't understand what's difference between new material and "supersession" old one? New for what and old for what? Could you be more specific or any example will be helpful.

Schedule Lines not confirmed

Hi SAP experts
Can somebody tell me as to why schedule lines for a material is not confirmed for a material while creating a sales order. I tried creating an order for two materials and since one of the material does not have confirmed schedule lines, it is affecting the delivery and the subsequent functions.
Issue requires immediate action. Pl help me

Hi,
It looks like you don't have enough stock for this item as in availability check,it is not able to confirm item. In case MMBE shows that you have stock available in that particular plant, then it could be possible that the stock is already reserved for other order to be delivered later. To check that, goto the order, select the item which is giving problem, click on display availability. check if you have any customer order in the list confirmed for a later date.( It will show confirmed quantity. ).
Now you can decide, based on the priority, how you want to go. You can un-confirm the quantity in confirmed order, so that quantity is available for other orders.
Thanks,
Gagan

Credit Status "Not allowed" but schedule line still confirmed

I have a little issue. I know is sth from configuration, but I don't remember where it is.
When automatic credit check is performed, and a sales order goes to "Credit Not allowed" I would like the position of the order remains unconfirmed, in order to leave the stock free for other orders.
Now the system leave the schedule lines created, confirmed, even when credit stock is "not allowed". Could sb help on this?
Regards

Hi Eduardo Vartorelli
For the Sales Order to stop the flow of requirements to MRP You have to set the status in the requirement.
Go to T code OVB8 and then set what is your requirement in the routine.
Currently the routine checks only for credit status in VBUK - CMGST if the status is B then it will not transfer the requirements to the MRP.
I am not sure what is the Credit status of your document in the VBUK. If its not "B" and still you want to hold the requirements then you can modify the routine to handle your new requirement.
If the status is B and then the requirements are trasnfering then you need to put a Break point in the rouitne and check if the routine is actually getting called or not.
The Program Name is LV07A101.

How to do a 3rd party sales process

How to do 3rd party sales process.....
plz reply me with the full configuration.....

THIRD PARTY SCENARIO
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. A sales order may consist partly or wholly of third-party items. Occasionally, you may need to let a vendor deliver items you would normally deliver yourself.
Process Flow
the processing of third-party orders is controlled via material types. Material types define whether a material is produced only internally can be ordered only from third-party vendors, or whether both are possible. For example, a material that is defined as a trading good can only be ordered from a third-party vendor. However, if you manufacture your own finished products, you may also want, from time to time, to be able to order the same type of product from other vendors.
Processing Third-Party Orders in Sales
Third-party items can be created automatically by the system, depending on how your system is set. However, you can also change a standard item to a third-party item during sales processing manually.
Automatic third-party order processing:-
if a material is always delivered from one or more third-party vendors, you can specify in the material master that the material is a third-party item. During subsequent sales order processing, the system automatically determines the appropriate item category for a third-party item: TAS. To specify a material as a third-party item, enter BANS in the Item category group field in the Sales 2 screen of the material master record.
Manual third-party order processing
In the case of a material that you normally deliver yourself but occasionally need to order from a third-party vendor, you can overwrite the item category during sales order processing. For a material that you normally deliver yourself, you specify the item category group NORM in the material master.
If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the sales document. The item is then processed as third-party item.
If address data for the ship-to party is changed in the sales order in third-party business transactions, the changed data will automatically be passed on to purchase requisition and also to the purchase order ,if one already exists. In the purchase order, you can display the address data for the ship-to party in the attributes for the item.
You can only change the address data for the ship-to party in the sales order for third-party business transactions, and not in the purchase order.
Processing Third-Party Orders in Purchasing
when you save a sales order that contains one or more third-party items, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition in Purchasing. Each third-party item in a sales order automatically generates a corresponding purchase requisition item. During creation of the requisition, the system automatically determines a vendor for each requisition item. If a sales order item has more than one schedule line, the system creates a purchase requisition item for each schedule line.
Purchase orders are created from purchase requisitions in the usual way. For more information about creating purchase orders, see the Purchasing documentation. During creation of the purchase order, the system automatically copies the delivery address of your customer from the corresponding sales order. In a sales order, you can enter purchase order texts for each third-party item. When you create the corresponding purchase order, the texts are automatically copied into the purchase order. The number of the purchase order appears in the document flow information of the sales order.
All changes made in the purchase order are automatically made in the sales order as well. For example, if the vendor confirms quantities and delivery dates different from those you request and enters them in the purchase order, the revised data is automatically copied into the sales order
you process third-party items by creating a normal sales order. In overview for the order, you can then overwrite the default item category (TAN in the standard system) with the special item category for third-party items: TAS
Billing Third-Party Orders
If relevance for billing indicator for the item category has been set to B (relevant for order-related billing on the basis of the order quantity) in Customizing, the system includes the order in the billing due list immediately. If, however, the indicator has been set to F (relevant to order-related billing on the basis of the invoice quantity), the system does not include the order in the billing due list until an invoice from the vendor has been received and processed by the purchasing department. In the standard system, item category TAS (third-party order processing) has been given billing-relevance indicator F.
In the first case, the third-party order is considered to be completely billed only when the invoiced quantity equals the order quantity of the sales order item. In the second case, each time a vendor invoice is received, a customer invoice is created for the quantity in the vendor invoice and the order is considered to be fully invoiced until the next vendor invoice is received.
If you have activated billing-relevance indicator F for item categories in Customizing, billing can refer to the goods receipt quantity instead of the incoming invoice quantity.
You can control whether the invoice receipt quantity or the quantity of goods received is relevant for billing in Customizing for copying control for billing at item level.
FOR YOUR PROCESS Individual Purchase Orders WELL GIVE THE RIGHT SOLUTION
Individual purchase orders are used when your customer orders goods from you that are not in stock and must be ordered from one or more external vendors.
Process Flow
During sales order entry, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition item. The purchasing department creates a purchase order based on the requisition and the vendor ships the goods directly to you (unlike third party order processing, where the vendor ships directly to your customer). You then ship the goods to your customer. While the goods are part of your inventory, you manage them as part of the sales order stock. Sales order stock consists of stock that is assigned to specific sales orders and cannot be used for other purposes.

3rd party order processing GR movement type

Hi
In 3rd party order processing the goods are delivered to customer from vendor directly, but for billing purpose we do the GR at plant level(against purchase order)>invoice>Billing
Physically stock is not delivered to the plant, so when we do the GR(against purchase order),if the movement type is 101 it will updatet the stock. 3rd party delivery is not done,stock will not be reduced. I want to know what is the GR movement type for 3rd party order processing, is it 101 or anyother movement type.

Hi,
Check in t.code OMJJ.
Select movement type 101 and click on update control/WM movement types.
There you can see this movement type is configured for different update control/WM movment types.
Few entries are made in the system without value and quantity updates for movement type 101. So I assume, when you do MIGO using 101 movement type against third party purchase order, special stock indicator E and movement type B will be taken for statistical posting. You can do a testing to confirm this.
Regards,

3rd party sales process (w/o ship notif) - Billing

Hi experts,
In billing of 3rd party sales process, is it possilble to take the GR date as billing doc. date?
Is it in customizing? or I have to do it in copy control?
Thanks in adavnce.
Cheers,
Kenneth

Hi,
Billing date is always derived from the Payment terms available in Sales order. But as such i have not see any requirement to consider GR date as billing date.
Seems logical.

Sales Order Credit Status Block with Schedule Line ATP Confirmed Quantity

I would like to keep the Credit Status Block on a Sales Order when it is created and over the credit limit and at the same time be able to Confirm the Order Quantity (if inventory is available) on the Schedule Line. Has anyone done this? I'm using ECC 5.0
In the IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Basis Functions --> Credit Management/Risk Management --> Credit Management --> Define Automatic Credit Control --> If I remove the Status/Block indicator the schedule line does confirm the sales order quantity but the sales order is not blocked and a delivery can be created.
Thanks.
Donna

Hello Donna,
I think I solved your problem.
There are two ways to block the sales order - one is to not confirm the Schedule line i.e. block delivery... block further action that can be taken. The second is to not let the person save the sales order.
Another option is to get Just a warning message, that the credit limit has been exceeded, but able to save the sales order with a confirmed schedule line.
The setting will be in OVA8.
For the Document Value you make the setting C or A. and make sure the block is not set.
Don't worry about the Open order or open delivery unless you want the system to perform a credit check considering the orders that are already existent. Same with open delivery. It will take into account all the cost of the orders that are open for delivery.
Now here some options:
Either consider a 'warning' by the system good enough and still be able to confirm the schedule line.
(ii) Put in a Delivery Block in the Sales Document Types, in the Shipping tab. That way, you will be able to save the sales doc. but not be able to deliver it.
(iii) Put a Billing Block in the Sales Doc type, in the Billing tab. You will be able to deliver but not bill.
(iv) Create a new routine (with the help of an ABAP guy) and place it in the auto credit check, 'Reaction' field where it will place a Delivery Block.
Do let me know what your thoughts are and what you decided to do.
Thanks
Noel

Process 000004 did not confirm within the permitted time period

Hi
The process chain failed while activating the ODS with an error message :Process 000004 did not confirm within the permitted time period" . When repeated the failed step it went successufull. but want to know what can be the cause and steps to be taken in order to avoide this issue further.
Thanks
Ratan

Hi,
Whenever ODS activation goes there'll be some batch processes you can say as parallel processes running along with main job. Due to unavailability of resources i.e either bkgd or dialog processes soemtimes gets delayed and they gets canceled which leads to the failure of main ODS activation job...
may be in ur scenario the same thing might have happened, so when you had repeated the step if the resources are free it will be successful.
once chk in your system for canceled jobs, ther might be some job which relates to your process.

Schedule lines not getting confirmed on staurdays and sundays

Hi all,
At sales order level, the schedule lines are not getting confimred on staurdays and sundays. So,in the factory which has been assigned to that plant, we have checked all holidays . Even then it's not confirming on saturdaus and sundays.
In the factory calendar, it was maintained like this.
Valid      from Year   1996
                To Year     2010
Holiday calendar    ID IN
Specific rule          none exist
Work days
Moday to sunday have been ticked. Only public holidays have not been ticked.
even then staurday and sundays schedule lines are not getting confirmed. pLEASE ADVISE.

Hi,
Go to T.CODE SCAL, select your calender id & click on definition.
Check the working days.Also check the "Holiday Calendar ID" assigned to the "Factory Calendar ID".
Check if it helps.

Delivery date in PO schedule lines not equal to delivery date in PO confirm

Hello expert.,
I use PO with account assignment E for sales order purchasing coming from a TAB sales order category. In the PO I have schedule lines define according to the lead time from the materila masetr of the info records. The schedule lines in the PO update automatically the schedule lnes in the sales order and therefore the planning on the sales and delivery side is done according to the delivery date indiacte in the schedule lines of the PO (table EKET).
I use also inbound deliveries to indicate when the goods arrive. At that time, I can realize that the lead time / the quantity delivered by the vendor does not correspond to what was palnned in the schedule lines of the PO. When I save the inbound delivery, the confirmation is indicated in the PO in the PO confirmation tab with the delivery date equal to today (table EKES).
The issue I have is that the schedule lines of the PO is not in line with what is in the confirmation tab for both the quantity and the date. Therefore, even though I have goods arrived that could be delivered to the final customer earlier, the system doesn't recognize it because the schedule lines in the PO remain with the original planned date and quantity and as a consequence also in the sales order schedule line.
Does anybody can give me a way, a trick or a mechanism to align the delivery date and the qauntity in the PO between the schedules lines tab and the confirmation tab?
Thanks a lot for your support.

Edited by: Andre Louis Jadot on Nov 26, 2010 8:15 AM

Dear,
This is very intersting.
Delivery date is come in purchase order from plant delivery time (MRP2) in material master.
Exa:
If you enter plant delevery time as 10 days in MRP2 of material master.
So system calculate delivery date as under.
Plant delivery time : 10 days.
PO creation date : 08.05.08.
System consider delivery date 21.05.08
System add 3 days in your plant delivery time.
So 3+10 = 13, Delivery data:- 08.05.08 + 13 = 21.05.08.
Please check it in your quality client, If it is useful for you please revert back with points.

Mahesh Wagh.
