Confirmation category for third party scenario

Hi Friends,
We have confirmation category ZA for in the purchase order if vendor delays the delivery of the material
If PO qty is 20 & user has confirmed below dates
Conf. Category   Delivery date         qty
AB                     05.06.2014            10
AB                     06.06.2014             10
If vendor is delaying delivery of 06.06.2014 to 08.06.2014
we put
Conf. Category   Delivery date         qty
ZA                     08.06.2014            10
In our sales scehdule line in sales order when we update ZA line in PO it removes both the confirmation of confirmation category AB.
We want that ZA to replace on 2nd confirmation of AB.
I want to know whether it is standard scenario that it will remove all the lines of AB from sales order schedule line. Also want to know whether there is any workaround for the same.

Hi Kiran,
This is pretty standard.
During availability check, system proposed three three different dates.
1. One time del. on req. del. dte: If system able to delivered on the exact date, then system will propose this date in the availability screen named under this one.
2. Complete delivery: Here system gives you the date when you can make complete delivery.
3. Delivery Proposal: Here system gives you the earliest delivery date even if it is partial delivery and the remaining quantity delivery.
In your case, on 06.06.2014 you are completing your entire quantity to be delivered to your customer. So as per system assumption material will be available on or after 06.06.2014.
So after 06.06.2014, system will replace all the quantity like complete delivery quantity.

Account Assignment Category for third party process.

Hi ,
I would like to use different account assignment category for third party process. This account assignment cat must be assigned at the sales order itself. Is there any config for this.
Kindly help me.
Ram.

You can create new account assignment category for 3rd party process by copying existing std one 2 in configuration under MM - Purchasing - Account assignment - maintain account assignment category
You can assign your own set of control for account assignment based on requirement.
SAP use TAS item catgory in 3rd Sales order which is linked to Pur Req account assignment catgory 2.If you are defining own account assignment catgory than you need to config set-up with TAS sales order item catgory.
Hope above details will help to move further...sanjay karkun

Account assignment in schedule line category for third party sale

in settings for schedule line category CS -for third party sales, in the field Account Assignment category we assign X-all auxiliary account assignment.
what is the purpose and reason for using account assignment category in third party and at what point of time this comes into picture in third party sales process

Hi Sudha A,
Procureement against customer requirement will be booked against cost or expense account. So when creating PO, this account assignment category is determination factor for respective G/L accounts in MM.
- Account assignment category will have general modification assigned. in MM account determinatoin OBYC settings-
Valuation group code(this needs to be confirmed) + General Modification + valuation class determines G/L account.
This is how G/L account will be displayed in PO - item level - account assignment tab.
To see the settings in account assignment category - check the help of the field & choose customization & observe in details.
Hope it clears,

Hi all.. what is the item category for third party returns

Please also include a brief about third party returns procedure
thanks
adi

Hi,
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.
In this scenario, 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.
<b>If the customer does not accept</b> the delivered goods from the third party vendor, the customer disposes of the goods. A credit memo is issued to the customer reversing the revenue and cost of goods sold. Then a MM credit memo is created for the third party vendor. A statistical goods receipt reversal is performed for the goods in order to close out the original purchase order. The vendor credit memo may initially be blocked for payment, if previous agreement for this with vendor exists.
And REN would be returns item category. But you can always have your own cutomized item category if there are any special requirments from the business.
Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards

Third party scenario with services

Hi
Is it possible to create PR for services thru Sales order for Third party scenario.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi,
as the system creates an MM document from sales order with item category 5 ('S' external -Third-party) for using of materials, you can not enter services into such purchasing items. For handling external services the item categories 9 ('D'), and 1 (B) are used. There is no item category combination for both - join item categories 5 and 9 - available in the standard. Please create a PR in ME51N instead with the concerned order in the accounting data.

Delivery Address changes in third Party Scenario

Hi All,
System is not allowing to make changes in delivery address (At PR/ PO Level) for Third party Scenario (Sales Order based).
I had checked the Field Groups of PO/ PR Knowm to me and try to make delivery address field editable. but didnt get any success. Is it Possible to get the dellivery address field in change mode for third party Scenario. If yes, how?
pls. Note: I'm not talking about the Manual third party order processing.
Regards,
S Anand

Why dont you want to make a change at SO level?
From OSS note 550192 - FAQ: Changing third-party and individual PO items
Question: What do I have to consider when I change the ship-to party for the entire sales order or for a third-party item?
Answer: In the third-party scenario, the ship-to party of the third-party item in the sales order is identical with the delivery address of the respective purchase order item. Up to and including Release 4.5, there is no automatic function for a synchronous change so that this must be done manually in both documents. As of Release 4.6, the system automatically updates the delivery addresses from the purchase order items if the ship-to party of the third-party item changes. The change of the delivery address in the purchase order is therefore no longer possible; thus the 'Delivery address' is only displayed in the display mode in the purchasing transaction.
For additional information, refer to Note 204190.

Shipto Address for Third Party PO

Hi, can anyone advise is there a standard configuration to pick the shipto location from SO which generates the PR for third party scenario? This is bcos the shipto address in the PR should reflect the one from the SO header so that vendor knows where to ship the goods in such case. Currently, the shipto address is based on the plant or SLOC in the PR item which is not correct.
Thanks

Settings for third party order

Hi,
what are the settings needed for setting up third party order particularly at the schedule line level. Thanks in advance.
Regards
sri krishna

Dear sri krishna,
1) the first thing would be to have the item category group at the material level as BANS which is for a third party material.
2) Assign the item categories so that we have TAS as the item category or for a normal item have TAS as the manual item category and change it at the order level.
3) At the schdule line level, select the required order type for purchase order which is generally NB.
4) Select item category which says third party
5) Select the relevant account assignment category for third party out of the selection.
6) In the item category if you want an automatic purchase order then switch the automatic PO indicator.
Hope the explanation helps you.
Thanks & Regards

Item category used for third party

Gurus,
need to know the item category used for third party process and its determination, kindly help.
thanks
SP

Dear Partasarathy,
there are three different processes within the third-party.
The usual third-party process (the delivery will be made directly from the third-party partner). The item category here is TAS in the standard.
The individual purchase order (the delivery will be done from third-party partner to SD-partner and then the normal delivery will be created from the sales order). The item category here is TAB in the standard.
The ALE-process is the third-party process where the purchase order (not only the purchase requisition) will be created after saving the sales order. The item category here is ALES in the standard.
I hope, this additional info helps you further.
Kind regards,

Issue with purchase requisition for third party order (Item category S)

Hello Experts,
When I am trying to create purchase requisition with document type NB , item category S (third party) , I am nokt able to assign source of supply as contracts.
That means when I click on the assign source of supply button , I am seeing only info records although I have contracts cretated for that vendor/material combination.
How can I assign contract as a source of supply instead of infor records ?
Please help.

You have to assign the contract in source list and make it Fix
use ME01 transaciton to assign the contract in the source list
and make sure that contract is release if you have release strategy activated

PO Creation for third party sales

Hi
We have the scenario Third party sales and High sea sales which is already in use (already configured) , where PR getting generated automatically .
But client requirement is they want the PO to generate automatically by the system the moment i save the sales order .
Where is the setting in the SAP , where system will generate the PO automatically instead of PR
Please suggest

Hi,
Go to VOV7
Select third party item category which u r using in sales order >>> Deatils >>> under transaction flow >>> Tickmark to CREATE PO AUTOMATIC.
If you activate this field, the system automatically generates both a purchase order requisition for third-party schedule lines as well as a purchase order in the background when you save the sales order.
However u can not create PO directly.

Billing in Third Party Scenario

Hello All,
How does the billing occurs in the third party scenario ?
Regards

Hi,
Third party scenario , in which goods to the customers are delivered from the Vendor and we will settle vendor and bill customer
In this process the material is created with the item category TAS and the schedule line category CS
Create a sales order in VA01 with the material withe General item category group BANS
In the schedle lines in the VA02 of the sales order, you can find the PR (purchase requisition).
Goto ME21n and create the Purchase order with the vendor which is ceated in the xk01
Do MIGO and MIRO for the PO and settle the vendor .
For Customer, do the Billing in VF01.
Here is the flow of Third Party Processing:
PO from Customer
SO item to Purchase requisition creation
PO from Purchase requisition
Goods from Vendor to Customer
MM Invoice creation
Billing document created with reference to Sales Order based on IR qty
Invoice to Customer

Hi Sapera,
There can be 3 typse of trading scenarios
1. 3rd party with Shipping notification : Where in u create sales order and create PO against the PR which si triggered in SAles order adn hen MIGO followed by MIRO and Billing. Here Billing to the end customer can be doen before MIRO because the billign quantity considered is based on the goods Receipt( MIGO) quantity. Many a times you might have your personnels or soem mechanisms to cross verify the delivered quanity as some times the vendor might not dispatch the quantiy in the PO. Here the MIGO doen si consumption posting/Non valuated GR as physically it doenot come into your stock and therefore is not shown in our stock. ITem category used in TAS
2. 3rd party without shiiping notfication ; Here MIGO is not done and billig ncan be done only after MIRO as the billing quantity is based on the Invocie receipt quantity in MIRO
3. Bought in items/ Dealer Sales : Here you bring in the materials from the vendor to our depot plant and then dispatch it to the customer . Here PR is geenrated from sales order followed by PO and MIGO. After MIGO you have to do PGI followed by Billing. MIRO doesnot have any impact on the PGI or Billing. Item category used is TAB
But in all the three instancesthe configurational changes happen in schedule line cateogry and the account assignment which is maintiend in item category and for automatic determination of 2 different schedule line categories we need to maintian 2 different item categories alothough item category settings are almost the same.
Hope this was helpful in giving you some insights on the trading processes

Why req MIGO and MIRO in third party scenario

Hello All,

In 3rd party we create sales order with item cat TAS.
We got the PR
with ref to PR we create PO.
then we do MIGO and MIRO
also If vendor is delivering the goods why we do the Delivery and PGI and then Invoice
Why not Invoice with ref to sales order.

Hi
In Third Party sales, the Item category is TAS ,if the Vendor directly supplies to the end customer.
In Item category TAS, "Billing Relevance" is "F", i,e. Order related billing as per invoice quantity.
If the Item category of the Third Party item is TAS, then Schedule line category is CS in standard. If you will go to CS, you will find , the "Delivery relevance" field is blank and there is no "Goods movement" also. That means no Delivery takes place against the Sales order, so no goods issue.
This clearly indicates, we do not create any Delivery and no goods receipt takes place in third party sales process, when the vendor directly sends the goods to the customer.
Once the goods are send to the end customer, Vendor creates an invoice and sends to the ordering company. Now, ordering company goes for Invoice verification ,what the vendor has sent to him. We only go for MIRO here and not MIGO.
After that, the ordering company, creates the Customer invoice with reference to the Sales order(placed by its customer) and sends it to its customer.
Complete process:
Once the order is received from the custome(say ABC)r, the company (say XYZ) creates a Sales order ---> Purchase requisition is automatically triggered from the sales order -
> from this Purch requisition a PO is created for the vendor -
> aginst the PO, Vendor delivers the goods to the customer ABC and charge the ordering company,sends invoice for the same to the ordering company XYZ -
> Ordering company XYZ does Vendor's invoice verification and creates a Customer invoice with reference to customer's(ABC) order and sends to the customer ABC.
Some times Vendor sends the goods to the ordering company and then ordering company delivers the goods to its customer.
Vendor does not deliver directly to the end customer in this case.
In this case Item category is TAB and Schedule line category is CB.
Here, Billing relevance is "A" - (Delivery related billing) in the Item category TAB, that means here Delivery takes place and Billing is created with reference to the Delivery created to the customer.
In Schedule line category CB, you will find, 'Delivery relevance" field is activated and there is a movement type "601".
So, Delivery and goods issue both takes place here.
Here we go for both MIGO and MIRO.
