Account groups & Sales order types for 5 Companies

Dear All,
There are 5 company codes under one client but these are five different operating entities (Companies). I mean there is no intercompany process at all. One company will act as a customer / Vendor to another and even they file there IT returns separately.
But the business (Sales / Purchases) processes in these company codes are exactly the same.
Please help me out with the following issue under the above situation:
1)     Will there be a common Account Group for all 5 company codes as it is defined at client level or there should be a separate Account Group Company codewise as 5 companies are operating separately.
2)     Similarly Sales Document types i.e., ZIN, ZQT, ZOR, ZLF, ZF2 should be defined separately for each company code or not?
Regards,
Pankaj

Hi Akasha,
You said : for the document types again , a single document type can be used for all the company codes, unless there is some other specific case where in seperate document type is required
Cud you plz lemme know an example of any such specific case. Because if single document type for 5 companies is not affecting any Business Process Financially and operationwise. I can go ahead by sharing one document type for 5 Companies.
Only one thing cud be is the number range, which will also be shared. Am I right ?
Thnx & Best Regards,
Pankaj

  • Should we create new sales order type for Brazil

    Hi,
    We are having SAP Global templete environment & going for Brazil rollout. My question is whether we can have exitsing sales order type or should we create a new one so as to capture complicated Nota fiscal requirements.
    What SAP recemmends
    Thanks
    Amb

    Most of the sales document types for Brazil are identified by BR in the description, for instance, sales document type ORB for Standard Order BR. This means a separate order type.
    [Country version Brazil exclusively deals with Nota Fiscais.|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/10/e0f0371bc15d73e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm]

  • Credit Management for different Sales Order Types

    Hello All,
    The problem is related to Credit Management for Sales Order which is explained below with an example -
    We have separate Sales Order Types for New Launches (ZNLS) & Normal Depot Sales (ZDPS) but both the Order Types are assigned with same pricing procedure and respective orders will be raised against the same party code.Now automatic credit check is only active for order type ZDPS where the credit limit had been set to Rs.1000. Now Rs,.500 had already been raised using order type ZDPS, then another sales order of Rs. 500 is raised using order type ZNLS.But when a sale order of Rs. 550 is raised using order type ZDPS the sales order is getting blocked, because the system had taken into consideration & added up the Rs. 500 value of ZNLS with previous value of Rs. 500 against order type ZDPS as a result of automatic credit check though it is not active for order type ZNLS.Point to be noted that Credit exposure is  also not active for Order Type ZNLS.
    How is this taken into consideration & what are the steps need to be configured so that the credit limit check will not get automatically activated for order type ZNLS  and  only remain active for order type ZDPS  despite they are assigned to same pricing procedure and used for invoicing same party code?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks & Regards
    Priyanka Mitra

    Hi Mitra,
    The issue occurs because of the fact that credit check and the
    update of the credit values are separate processes which are also
    controlled separately by the respective customizing:
    1. credit check is controlled by transactions OVAK and OVA8.
    According to the attachment, you have already refered to note 18613 to
    check the customizing settings.
    2. update of the credit values is controlled by VOV7 or OVA7: "credit
    acttive" flag. The 'Credit active' setting only affects the credit
    update of the SD credit values (open orders, open delivery and open
    billing documents). This flag has no control on the credit check. So
    if for an order type, there is no credit check in OVAK and OVA8 but
    the "credit active" flag is set for the item category, the order will
    update the credit values even if no credit check is performed for the
    order.
    If the flag "credit active" is not set, the system will not update the
    open credit values. On the other hand, the system ALWAYS updates the FI
    credit value 'Open receivable' when the billing document is transferred
    to Accounting. So, although you deactivated the "Credit active" flag in
    in OVA7 or VOV7, such an item will increase the 'Open receivables' and
    thus the credit limit used when the corresponding billing document is
    posted to Accounting.
    If you would like the value from sales order type  ZNLS is excluded from credit update, you could consider set the "Credit Active" field as blank in VOV7 for the item category used for ZNLS.

  • OMJJ - Account grouping - Add mvt type indicator L

    Hi
    Pertinent to;  The account grouping in movement type for 101.
    For the STO I have enabled the Goods Recipet using MIGO and mvt type is 101. But the Reference document would be Outbound delivery instead the STO purchase order.
    Now the issue is after GR the Stock account is not debited as the movement type is not configured for Outbound delivery based GR.  How do i add the movement type indicator "L"  Goods movement for delivery note in OMJJ-Account grouping ?
    Currently only for F & B not for L.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    RG

    Hi,
    The Process flow is Stock Transport Order --> Outbound Delivery --> Goods Receipt
    So Outbound Delivery has a link with Stock Transport Order i.e. Receipt Indicator "B" so during GR against OBD it will consider B, no need of maintaining L and also it is not possible.

  • Default Sales Order type settings

    Where do I set the default Sales Order type for transaction VA01. trying to avoid employees choosing the wrong order type.
    Thank you.

    You can setup user parameter for parameter AAT
    Use transaction SU3 for every user
    Goto tab Parameters
    Add a line
        Parameter_ID: AAT
        Parameter value:  Your order type
    Save user profile
    Please note that this solution will not prevent user to change the value of field order type during VA01. However he will always get this as default value. You should do this for every user you need to have default value.

  • How to Block Customer from Sales Order Type

    Hello Gurus!
    I was wondering if there was a way to block a specific customer from a sales order type? 
    We have 4 Sales Organizations, and 2 of them use this customer, with different sales order type for each sales organization.  So I only want to block this customer for 1 sales organization and a sales order type.....is this possible.  If so, please advise!
    I just want to block a customer from a sales order type. 
    Thank you for your time!
    Best regards,
    WC

    Hi,
    I have an wild idea just check it works or not--
    Create a dummy customer pricing procedure.whenever u want to bleck a customer for any particular order type assign this dummy pricing procedure in customer master(Sales Tab).
    Do not define any pricing procedure in SPRO against this customer pricing procedure
    The moment user will try to process any order type (which u want to block for a customer), the system will not determine any pricing procedure & consequently it will not allow to save the order.
    Hope it will solve the problem.
    Regards
    Sanjay

  • Hide the characteristics grouping buttons depending on the sales order type

    Hi Gurus,
    I am trying to find a way to hide a characteristics grouping button (CU50) whenever a certain sales order type is issued.
    A condition was created that states that a certain characteristic will be invisible for the user depending on the sales order type chosen for that case. The characteristic is located inside a char. grouping button.
    I would like to know id there is a way to hide the button while the characteristic is hidden as well, just to avoid showing a button which is empty.
    If It is of any help, here is the condition created to turn the char invisible:
    $SELF.INVISIBLE = 'N01017_E'.
    *if not $self.N01017_E specified
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards.

    Hi!
    Sounds like you need a line-triggered output (with a message, which displays all lines of the order).
    Do you have problems to create a new output type?

  • Question on Search Help and Authorization Check for Sales Order Type

    Question 1:
    When I go to VA01 and click the search help, it shows only order type that are not blocked.
    However, when I have sales order type in select-options of a Z program,
    S_AUART FOR VBAK-AUART
    I click on the search help, it gives all the sales order types. How can I have a list with unblocked sales order type only?
    Question 2:
    I want to check whether a use can extract data from a sales order type (e.g. OR and RE)that he/she authorized to use.
    I have include the following in my program:
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'AUART'
    ID 'AUART' FIELD 'OR'.
    It always returns SY-SUBRC = 12.
    But order type 'OR' is granted to the user (he/she can create order with type OR in VA01)
    Please kindly give me some ideas, thanks.

    hi,

  • User-Exit for Checking Customer and Sale order type in Sales Order Creation

    Hi Experts,
      While creating the Sales Order once i enter sold-to-party and enter line item, i have to check the customer against the sales order type.
    Please suggest me if any user-exit or enhancement or BADI available for it.
    Thanks & Regards,
    -VM

    Hi
    Follow the below steps to find out what all BADI's are called when you press any button in any transaction.
    1) Goto se24 (Display class cl_exithandler)
    2) Double click on the method GET_INSTANCE.
    3) Put a break point at Line no.25 (CASE sy-subrc).
    Now
    4) Execute SAP standard transaction
    5) Press the required button for which you need to write an exit logic, the execution will stop at the break point.
    6) Check the values of variable 'exit_name', it will give you the BADI name called at that time.
    7) This way you will find all the BADIs called on click of any button in any transaction.

  • How to exclude sales office for combination sales order type/division?

    Hi experts,
    I would appreciate if you could advise: How to exclude sales office for combination sales order type/division in ECC 6.0 ?

    Hi
    Standard SAP functionality would not be able to cater to this. Ideally create a Z table with sales order type and sales office combination. Put in entries for combinations that are allowed. In Sales order program MV45AFZZ use the exit USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK. In this exit write down the logic passing the sales office determined and the order type and check if the entry is there or not. If the entry is there then it should go on to the next step. If it does not then pass an error message. You need to use the help of your ABAP er for this.
    Thanks
