  • GATP Allocation Check w/ 3rd Party Drop Ship or Make-to-Order

    Experts,
    For our stocked materials we currently do an allocation check in APO.  We now need to do the same allocation check in a MTO (TAB) or 3rd party drop ship (TAS) scenario.  However, we are not able to get the allocation check to get accross to APO.  We have made the settings to our SL cat. indicating that an allocation check should be performed but its not working.
    Is there a setting which we should consider looking at?  Or, has SAP assumed that if one does MTO or 3rd party drop ship that supply is unlimited and there is no need to allocate to customers?

    Hi,
    As far as my understanding in third party drop shiment,there is no need of GATP,

  • Quality Inspection and COA for 3rd Party Drop Ship Vendor

    The scenario is as follows: We will be using a 3rd party vendor to fulfill certain materials directly to our customers. The vendor will be sending us a sample from each production run to run our own analysis  against the batch. I am wondering the best way to capture this data against the material and plant? Can we do it per run, capturing the data against a batch or do we have to capture the data per good receipt (in this case statistical)?

  • 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.

  • Third Party Drop Ship with Auto PO Generation

    Hi All -
    I am using a third party drop ship process and I would like the PO to be automatically generated by the system.
    I have changed the configuration on the TAS item category and checked 'Create PO Automatically'.  I went to OVX5 and maintained the Purchasing Org, Plant, Purchasing group, and order type for my Sales Org. 
    When I create a sales order with a material with a TAS item category.  The purchase requisition gets created but the PO does not.  Am I missing something in set up? 
    Please help
    Thanks
    J

    Auto Po will not generates in third party sales, only PR will get generated based on PR we have to create PO in ME21N.
    pls search in forum will get many threads on this

  • Third party Drop Ship

    Hi All,
    We have a scenario wherein we use third party drop ship for accessory material. Currently when a sales order is created with multiple line items, it generates multiple purchase requisitions against each line item. These PR's are in turn converted to multiple PO's.
    Can we have an option of generating a Scheduling agreement with reference to multiple PR's generated, or any other way where we can club the items may be as per material group. This is required in order to avoid processing of multiple Purchase documents.
    Let me know.
    Thanks,
    Sourabh Kothari

    Hi,
    I am converting the PR's generated from third party Sales order into PO. Against single PR i can create one scheduling agreement.
    Is there any way to update single SA against multiple PR's generated from multiple Sales orders. What transaction should i use to create it
    In case i convert it to PO from Me29, is there an option of adding a line item if i have new PR in the same PO?
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Individual 3RD Party Purchase Order Process Bisiness logic ?

    Dear  sd experts
    i know I.P.O ( Individual 3RD Party Purchase Order Process)
    But tell me Business process why Vendor will send stock to Company ( After Loading The stock ) Again company will receive The stock ( Unloading )
    Again Company will send to customer ( Loading here )
    So please tell me The business logic , my doubt Vendor will send stock Directly With out Transport charges & Loading  charges
    it is Doing like this Profit to all ( Vendor ,customer ,& Company also)
    Please tell Me the exact business logic
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Kaustubh
    The answer lies in how the sales order is closed and invoice is printed when the GR is done.
    Please check if it is possible to update the invoice  with the information you want to be printed on the Export doc and Packing slip.If this can be acheived then you print the information out of the invoice without using the delivery.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Cost Carrying Over in Drop Ship Processing

    Hello Experts...
    When doing a drop ship sales order, this is the following situation.  Item A has cost at Warehouse 01 (stock warehouse) of $400 and cost at Warehouse 03 (drop ship warehouse) of $425. 
    When doing a drop ship sales order, the correct cost of $400 from WH 1 is displayed initially until the WH is changed to WH 3, then it displays WH3 cost of $425.  However, when the Purchase Order Confirmation Screen is displayed, the cost reverts back to $400.  We have done a test 15 times in the Demo SAP B1 and even more information is not passed on using the "Copy To" function (for example, the Delivery does not pick up any costs - it is blank when processing a drop ship).
    Of course it could be changed at the Purchase Order Confirmation Screen, BUT a real simple statement comes up of why does a Sales Person have to change it when the cost is in the system and is displaying correctly on the Sales Order.  From a common sense perspective of financial matters and productivity, it takes the statement even further - why even put a cost on the Drop Ship Warehouse when the system does not pick it up.  It gets even worse when the Gross Profit comes out to being 100%.  The whole drop ship process seems to be a mystery in the SAP Documentation.
    QUESTION: Is there some setting that needs to be changed so that the correct drop ship cost is carried throughout the system automatically and all of this wasted time is cut out?
    The user guide published on Februrary 2009 covering this topic does not say anything about COMPLETE drop ship processing and cuts off at the display of the Purchase Order Confirmation Screen on page 6.
    Thanks - Zal

    Hello Julie - thanks for your reply...version is 2007 SP01 PL05...
    Maybe the problem with the cost being carried over with "Copy To" was corrected in PL07?  Will go to the release notes...
    This is getting to be a comedy - again, I am using and testing this function on SAP's provided "vanilla" Demo database with no changes, so if SAP cannot set up drop ship functioning properly on their own Demo, who can???
    OK - yes, the cost of the product is pulled from the associated vendor which is problem number one - for companies that sell both inventoried and drop ship items on a regular basis, the cost of that product is never the same.  For vendors, onsies and twosies being shipped to our customers incurs a higher expense than a shipment to one site of 100 or 200 items and they will quote a different cost to cover those expenses.  It just makes common sense that the vendor's incurred expenses to fill the drop ship versus shipment to our waregouse is going to be different, doesn't it?  Therefore the actual cost and dollars paid for the product will be different from WH01 over WH03 (or any other area - Base Price versus Discount Purchase Price), and the gross profit is going to be different between the two versions of a sales process.  Creating a thousand different price lists certainly is not the answer!
    And this begs a very simple question then - why even put in an item cost on the Item Inventory Tab for the drop ship warehouse AND why does the system pull the WH 03 dollar amount into the Sales Quotation/Order Gross Profit Base Price field but not transfer it to the Purchase Order?  Why create a constant flood of erroneous Gross Profit information on drop ship AR invoices unless you are happy to have wasted productivity?
    I think the real problem is that this is obviously a very bad design for an SAP B1 function and folks are doing all of these workarounds and extra steps (at least in PL05 so far) to get their work done.  I think it is hilarious that when trying to enter a ticket directly to SAP on this, I got the reply that "that is the way the system is designed" (albeit bad design and no effort to direct me to documentation) and had to post my question here according to new SAP B1 support standards.
    I am going to close this question as there really is not an answer except "way the system is designed" and this thread is leading nowhere.
    Many thanks to everyone who took the time to reply - lol - of course, thanks with points!!!
    Take care all - Zal

  • Third Party Drop ship and availability check against Product Allocations.

    Dear All -
    We are facing a situation where we need to create a third party drop ship Sales Order with an item category which still reaches out to APO and confirms against the product allocation quantities. This is not supported by standard SAP.
    Has anyone come across such a requirement and how has it been handled. I would really appreciate any suggestions.
    Regards
    Mandar

    Vladimir,
    I want the drop ship in which when you create SO, before selecting the vendor, system should perform availability check for plants. If material is not available in the plants ( nearest plant) then system should select the vendor who will ship the material to customer directly.

  • 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

  • How to close third party (drop ship) contract

    Hi Friends,
    This is our scenario,
    created drop ship sales order (with item category YB1), then PR automaticlly created. say PR 123456
    Create quantity contract(out blanket PO) to vendor reference PR123456
    After receiving shipping document, create PO(internal document) reference PR 123456
    Since PO created by referencing PR but not contract, whenever GR to PO, the conresponding qty won'e reduced from Open target quantity in contract. thus this type of contract always stays open /
    My question is : How to show correct open target quantity in drop ship contract.
    Thanks,
    Linda

    Hi Linda,
    Instead of creating the Contract with reference to the PR , create the contract without any reference. By doing so if you do the source determination in the 3rd part PR it would pick this contract as a reference. The PO created based on this PR will have the reference of both the PR and the contract.
    Alternatively you can enter the contract number directly in the PO which would also update the open target quantity in the contract.

  • Drop Ship processing for Sales BOM

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to have a Sales BOM drop shipped from a Vendor. Only the header material is relevant for pricing and purchase order. However, we have a business requirement to explode the sales BOM in the sales document and billing document to address statistical pricing requirements at the component level.
    Since only the header material is required in the PO, it has a billing relevance of 'F'. However, we have set the components to be relevant for order related billing. Standard SAP opens up the components for billing even though a vendor invoice for the header has not been received.
    Can copy control be used to control the components from being billed unless the header is billed AND the quantity of component materials modified based on the header material being invoiced ? Is it possible to only explode the sales BOM in the billing document using a billing document exit ?
    Would appreciate suggestions from the forum.
    Regards

    Hi
    The billing document creation can be controlled through the copying requirement in Copy Control of Billing documents.
    Transaction VOFM | Billing documents: Create a new requirement which prevents billing unless the parent item has the vendor invoice receipt.
    This requirement has to be then assigned to the respective billing and sales document type in copy control.

  • Drop ship process

    Hi All
    Can any one explain what is drop ship in Sales and Distribution, used mostly in US.
    venkat c

    Hi,
    Probably you are referring to the review of Open sales orders for drop ship scenario and close them out if they are long pending. There is no point in supplying materials for an order received few months back, because even the customer may not want it anymore.
    There is nothing specific in SAP for this activity that you have mentioned.
    Will this help?
    Thanks,
