Automatic GR by Third Party delivery throug shipping notification?

Hi,
What is the best scenario if the third party vendor sends goods directly to the end customer? The vendor can send me a shipping notification. Can I post automatically (only for third party and direct delivery to end customer) a GR when I receive an shipping notification?
Points awarded,
Greetings,
Eric van Zundert.

We have a similar requirement that I am designing a solution for.
Here is what I am doing-
Sales Order is created with item category TAS.
The item category I get in the PReq is Third Party
The account Assignment category will drive whether you can process GR or not.
(you may change or create new account assignment category in spro>materials management>purchasing>Account assignment>Maintain Account Assignment Categories) If you want Goods Receipt to be processed, account assignment category C could also work). Which one you would like to use can be decided and then assigned to Schedule Line category for third party you use. This assignment is done in SD config in schedule line category.
About your other concern on how do you know about readiness of delivery @ vendor for you to pickup and deliver to customer -
Use confirmation control key in the purchasing. Use the one that allows you create a shipping notification (Inbound Delivery). If you want, use EDI from vendor so that when vendor informs you via inbound delivery, your system tracks the readiness of the delivery at vendor's premises. You may complete GR(now it becomes optional because your very purpose of processing GR is addressed by shipping notification). In 3rd party processing, Delivery Note is not required for the Sales Order because you physically won't deliver to customer.
Hope this helps! Reward points if you find this useful

Problem in Partial Billing for Third Party Sales with Shipping Notification

Hello Guys,
There is one issue related to a scenario of Third party Sales with shipping notification. Here the basic process that runs
are : Sales order --- > PR -- > PO --> MIGO --> Billing document --> Vendor Invoice Verification.
In this specific scenario, partial billing is not happening and the billing relevance for item category "B" and in copying control data
from sales order to billing doccument, the biling quantity field is "A".
Could anyone throw some light on the configuration part so that partial invoicing can happen ??? Please make a note of the fact
that billing documents are generated after MIGO is done.

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.

Automatic po creation third party order

Hello Gurus,
In case of automatic po creation from third party order we have attach purchase organization and vendor to sales organization. This restrict only one vendor against sales organization.
Is any BADI available which we can use which to change vedor dynamically ?
Best Regards,
Vasant

Dear Vasant,
For automatic PO at the time of GR following are the prerequisites:
1) In Customizing
a) Auto PO generation must be activated in Mov. Type 101 & 161
b) the plant for which GR is entered must be assigned to standard Pur. Org.
c) Default Document type for PO must be specified in GR ( MB 01)
2) Application - Front end side
a) material must be valuated material
b) Purchasing Info record must exist for vendor , material & standard Pur Org.
c) Conditions in Info Records must be valid.
d) Applicable for stock items & not consumable items
e) you cannot enter any movement in GR block stock
f) Material Master & vendor master records must.
If you ensure all above settings then it is possible to have auto PO during GR.

Third Party Scenario with Shipping

Hi Experts,
Need ur Valuable suggestion on this.
I Have 2-Company Codes 1000 and 2000 and we have External Vendor "X"
1) 1000 Comapany Code procures the material from External Vendor "X" on BEHALF-OFF Company Code 2000.
2) 1000 Company Code will have a Certain Margin for the material procured from External vendor on Behalf of 2000 Company Code.
And the invoice will be raised by External Vendor to 1000 Company Code for which the 1000 Company Code will Process. And 1000 Company Code will raise a invoice to 2000 Company Code.
1) How to process the invoice generated by External Vendor to Comapny Code 1000 without actual goods recieved by that company code ?
2) How to process the invoice generated by 1000 Company Code for which the actual Goods recieved supplied by External Vendor ?
How this can be mapped in SAP ? with via " Third Party Shipping "
Best Regards
Javeed

Hi javeed ,
It seems you r doing cross-company code sales .And the material will always be purchased by company 1000 ,then it will be sold to your company 2000 with some add-on in profit .And the actual goods receipt will always happen in company 2000,but company 1000 will do the dummy goods receipt and will receive invoice for external vendor.
If that is what you want ,you can use the third party sales process which can be defind in SAP sales and distribution .
You can set up a new sales order type , new item category ,and new schedule line category .In the schedule line category you need to set the 'order type'as NB purchase requisition ,which will later be converted into purchase order for external vendor .
As a matter of fact ,there is a lot of configuration need to be implemented in SD /MM .
Hope this can be some light.
thanks ,

Need Automatic trigger of Third Party

Dear SAP Gurus,
I have a requirement. We have some materials and this materials are either delivered by Company itself or sometimes by Vendors. Now the requirement is whenever this material is not there in the stock, system should automatically triggered Third Party Sales.
How can we achieve this requirement? Plz assist me in this.
Thanks.
Regards,

Normally in that case, what the seller will do is they order directly on the vendor, inward the material and process sales activities. Can you reconfirm your client is not following this practice which is predominantly being followed in all manufacturing industries?

Rush orders with third party delivery-?

Hi Gurus
I have seen the scenario -
Rush orders are creating third party sales .
Rush orders means Immidiate delivery will create and also in our configuraion same.
But third party item category measn delivery from vendor.
My question is how it possible-?
Please any body can give solution on this.
Thanks
Kris

pls under stand the deference between 3 party and rush order
rush order means immediate delivery created when you save the sales order ( where you have the stock and you are going to service it )
3 party means where the 3 person is going to service the material with reference to your sales order that is
your sales order triggers a purchase reg and converted to PO and the 3 party vendor supply material to you and you supply to the orderd person
so it is not a correct process to have a rush order in 3 party processing

Automatic Billing For third party

Hiya
Can we have a automatic trigger for trade invoice?
Once the vendor invoice is received and trade invoice should be triggered/created.
However I would also like to check that trade invoice only be created for received quantity.
Bit specific... any help...

Please try this
You can set a background job for automatically( SDBILLDL).
In third party process only after creating LIV,the third party Invoice is will be available in VF04.
This would make you to create automatically F2 automatically as you have set background job.
Please let us know if this works.

Third party delivery : project system

hi all,
we are project based company. we need to implement this party delivery scenario link with PS module. will it possible ?
please let me know the steps.
i know the standard sap flow which includes sale order as follows
1. Create Vendor XK01
2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background.
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO.
7. Goods receipt MIGO.
8. Goods issue.

Hi,
This is standard in SAP and you would only need to assign the WBS to the Sales Order for which the Material is being Procured for and the Cost / budgets can be tracked through this WBS element.
This activity can be seen thru PS Reports
Best regards

Inbound delivery and shipping notification

Hi,
what is the difference between shipping notification and inbound delivery in confirmations tab of POs?
Regards

Hello SAP Friend,,,
IT is nothing but the ASN from Vendor maintained in PO ,
Inbound delivery is done by using VL31n Transaction after receving an update from Vendor about the shipping details of material,Quantity,date etc.
You can specify the deadline for receipt of confirmations for each confirmation category in Customizing for Purchasing (Confirmations, Set up confirmation control under Confirmation sequence.)
You can specify in Customizing that you wish to see the following in the monitoring list, for example:
- Which order acknowledgments have still not been received a certain number of days after the PO date
- Which shipping notifications have still not been received a certain number of days before the delivery date

GR in Third Party Process

Friends
I read threads regarding Third Party Process but it made me more confused. Jus want some clarification.
1.Does GR take place in third party process or not and if not then how can we make it happen.
2.We want customer invoice to be created before MIRO. Can we do it. If yes then how.

Hi,
1) There are two types of Third Party Processes: -
a) Third Party Process without Shipping Notification
b) Third Party Process with Shipping Notification.
Third Party Process without Shipping Notification
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. The standard sales order automatically creates a purchase requisition for the materials to be delivered by the third-party vendor.
The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document can only be created after entering the invoice from the vendor.
Process flow: Third party Sales Order --> Convert purchase requisitions to purchase order --> Approval of purchase orders --> Invoice verification --> Billing
Third Party Process with Shipping Notification
For this process, the vendor sends 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.
The vendor then sends a shipping notification. After that a statistical goods receipt is posted. The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document can only be created after entering the invoice from the vendor.
Process flow: Third Party Sales Order --> Convert Purchase Requisitions to Purchase Order --> Approval of Purchase Orders --> Post Statistical Goods Receipt --> Invoice verification --> Billing
So, technically the 3rd Party Sales w/o SN is commonly used - whereby no GR is required. GI and GR process is between the vendor and the customer in the Sales Order. Once customer confirmed received, only then there will be incoming invoice from the Vendor, which then MIRO and Billing follows..
2. Standard SAP practice.. it is recommended to perform MIRO before Billing, as the vendor has to advice us that our customer has received the goods of the quantity ordered, which only then we can bill the customer according to the quantity received by the customer.
Thanks.
Hope this helps.

Return Sales of Third Party Sales

Dear Guru's,
My scenario is that I have done Third Party Sales with Shipping Notification (Sale Ord - PR - PO - MIGO - MIRO - Cust. Invoice) in SAP System. According to this vendor has delivered the material to the customer but customer found some damage to the material
and now the customer wants to return this material and also required credit for paid amount. So whom should the customer send this complaint (ofcorz to the company) and how the company will handle this return process to provide the credit to the customer.
Company can convince the customer for subsequent free of charge delivery also but tell me how that flow would be in SAP.
I have to map this with correct Financial impacts. Please Guru's guide me on the above scenario and if you need some more input
please ask me. Suggestions are also welcome.
regards,
Vojas

Dear Vojas,
You can ask your client as to how they process practically in this scenario.
You can do...
Create return sales order wrt original SO or Billing doc. --> Create return delivery with move. type 651. So there will not be any accounting doc. created --> then wrt return SO you can create credit memo or if the customer agrees, company can deliver free of charge material
Then
Create Subsequent FOC SO wrt original SO -
Here For this FOC SO, at schedule line VOV6, assign Order type as NB- PR and Item category as 5. So again PR will be created and you can process like normal Third party process. Here you will not bill the customer.
Hope you get some inputs
regards,
Sagar

CO-PA issue in Thirds Party Sales & Cross Company Code Sales

Hi,
In Third Party Sales with Shipping Notification and Cross Company Sales the CO-PA report is not reflecting the correct material cost. CO-PA is updating the material cost directly from the Material Master. Cross Company sales condition type PI02 & IV02 is using for pricing. IV02 is working perfect, but PI02 is not !
In detail, for Third Party Sales with Shipping Notification, no material is available in the stock. In material master the material cost display as $ 10/EA. But the Purchase Order value is $ 15/EA. During Goods Receipt time system is taking the cost as $ 15. While Billing time to the customer, system is posting to the CO-PA the material cost as $10/EA. FI postings are perfect, but CO-PA posting is not correct. CO-PA and P&L reconciliation is not matching due to this issue !
Waiting for the help.
Best regards,
Joby

Have you considered using this user-exit?
User Exits in the SAPFV45PF0E and SAPFV45PF0C Programs
EXIT_SAPFV45P_001
You can use this user exit to decide whether intercompany billing data is used in the profitability segment for cross-company code sales, or whether the data comes from external billing (external customer, sales data from the selling company code.
