Cost of goods sold duing cross company sales

Hi ,
We have a situation where we need to transfer goods from one company code and site ( Company A ) to another company code and site ( Company B )at the cost price of company A. We are creating a purchase order for this goods from Company B to Comapny A and in turn a sales order is issued for this from Company A.We pick up purchase price in PO from as the Per unit cost of comapny A.
The issue arises here about in the delivery from company A where the cost of goods sold in delivery is done based on the total stock value divided by the quantity sold as this is SAP method of calculation and this does not always match with the per unit cost. Currently we are passing this difference as discounts.
This is the best we could achieve where by we have been able to satisfy the business need of having no difference on the purchanse price of company B and sales price of company A.
My question is : Whether is there any more effecient method of achieving the desired result without having the difference which we are currently passing on as discounts ???
Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Christian,
Thank you for sending me the reply. I will briefly explain you the our process. The purchase from external vendor is done in warehouse belonging to one company code. The purchase is done at Moving average price but normally for an article there are no price variations. Goods receipt in warehouse is done after adding freight and insurance onto the cost of article.This is the value at which we want to transfer to another site in anotehr company code.
Now the replneshiment requirement from the other site which belongs to different company code raises a PO on to the warehouse. This PO picks up the article price (KOMV-KBETR) as the MAP from the warehouse (MBEW-VERPR). However the field MBEW-SALK3 for the warehouse is not exactly the quantity multiplied by MAP.It is actually the VERPR field which has the value based on the field SALK3 divided by the stock quantity and rounded off to the two decimal places. There is slight variation here itself due to the rounding of the total stock value and then again rounding at the per unit price.( Both the above fields of MBEW)
What we are doing on the sales order is to pass the MBEW-VERPR as EDI1 and the sotck value for the quantity ordered ( ZDEI a new condition) by the site as MBEW-SALK3 divided by the total stock at that point and multiply by the quantity ordered. So due to rounding differences there is difference in the value of EDI1 and ZEDI . Again during the billing from warehouse this condition ZEDI picks up the stock value based on the quantity delivered.
Since there are minor differences due to the rounding of values between per unit price and the actual stock value this are being passed off as discount and the payables by the ordering site and receivables from the warehouse are the same. Cost of goods sold from warehouse is the actual stock value being sold which is the revenue for the warehouse.
Even if we use the standard SAP stock transport order with billing how could we ensure that we do not have even this minor differences.
Doing away with another document is not the requirement since we already have automated the process of sales order creation from the pruchase orders.
Do you think we can achieve our requirement using SAP standard process? Except for this rounding differences we are fine with the current process as well.
Do Look forward to your answer.
Warm Regards,
Kartik Shah

Compare with my cost of goods sold account to my sales revenue account

Hi,
i want to compare with my cost of goods sold account to my sales revenue account.
After PGI my COGS a/c will be debited INVENTORY a/c will be credited so after sales my SALES a/c credit & customer a/c debit . I want to see what is the difference value of COGS a/c with respective billing Sales A/C
No doudt we can see in Profit of margin in billing doc. It is quite impossible to see all document in respective wise. Please give a solution for which i can know what is profit of margin with comparing values in both of Account.
Thank's
Abhay

Hi,
This is possible through CO-PA report. You can get the result per sales order.
Also the same can be achieved in FI as follows:
Outbound delivery document thr" VL01N is captured in "Reference field" of FI doc (BKPF-XBLNR) generated through delivery.
If the settings are done by SD person to capture the outbound delivery no. in "Reference field" of FI doc generated through Billing document (VF01), then there will be a common field to compare the documents in both accounts.
In transaction FAGLL03, select the account COGS & Sales revenue account. Once the report displays, sort or take sub total on this common field "Reference".
This will give you difference between COGS & Sales revenue per document.
Hope this resolves your query.

Cost in Cross-Company Sales Processing

Hi Experts:
                I want to set up the std cross-company sales process in our biz scenario.
               A is a ordering company,B is a supplying company.
              I create sales order in ordering company code,delivery note in supplying company code.
             One Invoice is created fro customer in ordering compnay,the other is a internal invoice.
            I have some question:
                                             How does the cost and profit process in company code A without production plant?
                                             Why the prices(PR00&PI01) will be used in two invoices both?
                Pls help to geive me some advice,tks.

Hi,
How does the cost and profit process in company code A without production plant?
Cost is updated through VPRS condition and profit is from PR00
Why the prices(PR00&PI01) will be used in two invoices both?
When you create sales order for customer then PR00 is used
Where as PI01 is for inter company billing and cost of goods sold is updated when supplying pant do delivery

Cost of Goods Sold account determination by customer type (inter-company)

We have a business need to separate the the cost of goods sold be customer type. Specifically separating the inter-company cost of goods sold from the 3rd party cost of goods sold.
The standard COGS account determination in GBB/VAX only allows for differentiating between material valuation class.
Has anyone attempted this before and what method worked?

For those who may need an answer to this, our solution was the following:
1)       Created new types for SO, SO Item, Sched. Line, Delivery, Delivery Item, Billing type
2)       Created new Pricing procedure
3)       Created new movement type Y61/Y62 modeled after 601/602
4)       Mapped Y61/Y62 to account modifier ZAX.
5)       Mapped GBB/ZAX to the new account.
Benefits, they now have better view of the orders going inter-company. It is flexible enough to adjusting prices for intercompany separate from standard orders, even though for now it is a straight copy of cost. They are able to remove the sales/use tax, from the calculations. They are able to plan with these orders separated out. Plus, this will standardize their process for inter-company.
Hope this helps someone.

SAP report with sales (invoices) and cost of goods sold

Is there standard SAP report that would show list of invoices, the materials sold, and the cost of goods sold (for how much they were bought)?

Dear sapfan22222222
If it is a one time activity, the please do the following.
SE11 , put the table VBRK and execute (you may use selection criteria like DATE o BILLING DATE if there is any specific data which you are trying to extract.)
VBRK-VBELN will give you the list of invoices.
You can download the same into spreadsheet.
Now copy the VBELN entries from the spreadsheet and put it in SE11 of VBRP as VBELN.
VBRP-MATNR will give you the material sold.
Download the same into 2nd spreadsheet
your cost of goods sold will be coming in the pricing procedure against any condition type.
So in VBRK which you have extracted earlier, you will find VBRK-KNUMV
Put that KNUMV in KONV table (put KSCHL= your condition type which shows the cost of goods sold).
Download that also as a spreadsheet.
Now you may combine these 3 spreadsheet with the help of someone who is an expert in excel and get the required data.
(BILLING NO FROM FIRST EXCEL , MATERIAL FROM 2ND EXCEL AND COST OF GOODS SOLD FROM 3RD EXCEL)
Check and revert back.

GL account determination for vendor invoice in cross company sale sales

Hi
we are planning to implement cross company sales scenario.
High level design-
1) Sales Order is in co code X and the delivery is from group company lets say co code Y
2) The delivery from co code Y generates two invoices- one in Sales area of co code X for the final customer and 2nd in sales area of co code Y for the inter company
3) The intercompany invoice has EDI output type (Sap standard delivered object is RD04). The output generates a IDOC which has ability to post automatic vendor invoice in co code X crediting the inter company vendor Y.
4) The automatic vendor invoice GL account determination is via customisation OBCB and OBCE
I have some questions around this , particularly if in the vendor invoice we have to account for material and returnable packaging
In my current project there would FG packed in returnable packaging in co code Y
For Export there would be a dedicated co code(X).
Co code X gets orders from customers; and creates sales orders in its sales area with delivery plant of co code Y.
Along with FG returnable packaging is also charged as deposit by - co code X to customer and Co code Y to Co code X.
so in the vendor invoice how to generate the following entry
Inter company vendor              150 Cr
Cost of Goods sold         100 Dr
Returnable Packages deposit    50 Dr.
Similarly when the end customer returns the packaging generate the following entry via the cross company return order and intercompany invoice
intercompany vendor 50 Dr
Returnable packages 50 Cr
if you have worked on this kind of scenario and share how to customise to post for FG and Returnable packaging separately in the automatic vendor invoice it would be great.

Hi Pravin.
Did you figure this out?
I'm seeing that via OBCB we can hit only one G/L account.
We also need to hit multiple accounts.
We've figured out how to hit this via user-exit, however I'm hoping that I've missed something in configuration and that a resolution via configuration is possible?
Any ideas?

Cross company sales

I just implemented the standard SAP process called 'Cross-Company Sales'. My Finance people are complaining that there is no posting to the Cost of Goods Sold GL account in the ordering company. There is a posting to Cost of Goods Sold in the delivering company at goods issue, but not in the ordering company at any point in the process.
How would I create a posting to COGS in the ordering company?

Here you go,
You came with the right question. I thought the same yesterday.
You missed the configuration for the Vendor invoice posting.
Once you create the inter-company invoice (IV) it will create an EDI INVOIC Idoc and will park the Vendor Invoice in the ordering company.
Please refer this thread.
Re: Intercompany setup
or
Go through the last 2 steps in the below inter-company billing process..
1.     In the sales order document type in the Billing tab, enter the Inter-company billing doc as IV. (VOV8).
2.     In the Copy control of Delivery to Billing (VTFL) , Maintain the header copy control of the Delivery type (LF) to Inter company Invoice IV.
3.     In the item level, Maintain the copy control for the item category that is relevant for our process, we can copy this from the standard one TAN or TAW.
4.     Maintain the copy control for IV Billing
5.     Define Order types for the Intercompany Billing.
6.     Assign Organizational units by Plant. ( Assigning the Shipping plants to particular sales organization and distribution channel)
7.     Define Internal customers for each sales organization.. An intercompany billing document will be created for this customer.
8.     Automatic Posting to Vendor Account. Assign the Vendor for automatic posting of the Account payables.
Eg.   Logical Address- 0010IC0331   -
   0331IV0010
In the above case if the IV billing document was generated from the 0010 code for the customer IC0331 then the Posting document should be posted in the company code 0331 with vendor as IV0010.
9.     Configure the RD04 output type for IV billing document which will park a vendor invoice through EDI.

Cross company sales without intercompany billing

Hello,
We are trying to set up cross-company sales without intercompany billing. Here is our scenario:
Company code 1000, Sales area 1000
Company code 2000, Sales area 2000
Sales order is entered in sales area 2000, but is delivering from a plant in company code 1000 directly to sales area 2000's customer.
We would like this scenario to work similarly to the "stock transport order without intercompany billing" scenario, where intercompany billing is not used; rather, the intercompany clearing accounts defined in FI are used.
We have removed the intercompany billing type defined in the SD config, which has prevented the system from creating an intercompany billing document. However, the accounting entries are not correct.
The problem is with the post goods issue. The inventory is being relieved into company code 1000's cost of goods sold. Instead, we want it go to the cost of goods sold in company code 2000.
From a financial perspective, it is currently doing:
Company code 1000:
Credit Inventory
Debit Cost of goods sold
But we want it to do:
Company code 1000:
Credit inventory
Debit Intercompany A/R clearing account
Company code 2000:
Credit Intercompany A/P clearing account
Debit Cost of goods sold
Does anybody know how to configure this?
Thanks,
JB

Cost of Goods Sold Calculations

I have a planning folder where the user first enters a company code, a currency and a profit center into the respective variables. In the subsequent template user enters material SKU along with planned Sales Quantity and planned Average Selling Price (ASP). I load standard prices for all material from R/3. I have two FOX formulae running in the background as soon as the user saves his/her entries. First one calculates product revenue, which is (ASP * Quantity). This one works perfectly fine. The second formula needs to calculate Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), which is (Standard Price * Quantity). This formula fails miserably. As far as my understanding goes, in order for a FOX formula to work all the characteristics that are not in the parameter group between the standard price record and the quantity record should match exactly. If there is an inherent mimatch between the records then you try to take care of the mismatch in the FOX formula by hard coding. The quantity records have SKU, company code, profit center, currency (!yeah, currency!), units of measure. Whereas the standard price records have SKU, distribution plant, currency. I understand that I can put # sign for company code and profit center in the FOX formula for selecting a standard price record, but unfortunately the currency of the standard price record may not be the same as that of currency of the quantity record since many materials are sourced from a distribution center outside the company code!! So the simple multiplication of Std price * quantity is not working!!!
I think of two options here.
1. As it doesn't make sense to populate currency field for a quantity record, I should move the currency variable into the data field for ASP records only. This way I can put # in currency field for quantity record selection. But the downside of this is that instead of posting quantity and ASP in one record into the cube, two seperate records get posted when user saves the data. As our users plan on 10000 different SKUs across the globe, this may not be a good idea unless the option two doesn't work.
2. There must be a way to make the FOX formula work even with the mismatch of currencies between quantity and standard price. I need your inputs in this regard.
If someone could also explain whether or not my understanding of FOX formula is correct, that would be great. As always, I would appreciate all the helpful inputs with points.

Yes FOX can be difficult to achieve things that are simpler than simple
The way you described, it will only search fo a standard price on the same currency.
Try to set the currency as changeable characteristic and then search prices for each possible currency.
standard price value = {standard price, currency1} + {standard price, currency2} etc..
The possible currencies could also be filled in a variable which is read at runtime.
Don't know an easier way!

Cost of goods sold for trading goods

In my company Cost based copa is configured.
We do manufacture and sale the goods, also we do trading to goods. for manufacturing goods the standard cost estimation is released but for trading we are not doing std cost estimation. In SD pricing procedure VPRS condition is incorporated to get cost of good manufactured. Now i want the cost of goods sold for Trading material to flow to co-pa.
How do i do it?
Do i need to create and release the std cost estimate for trading material? or there is any way i can manage the cogs to flow to co-pa actual cost.
Regards
Sanjay Petkar

One way is certainly to create standard cost estimates for the purchased products. Depending on your costing view qty structure and MRP view procurement settings you can use either CK40N or costing without qty stucture.
If you want moving average, then you need to exclude the purrchased material type from looking for a cost estimate in COPA, and then you need to link VPRS to your cost of sales key figure in PA.

Account Based COPA Cost of goods sold and Revenue Split

Dear Experts,
We are using account based copa in a automobile company.
As per the requirement when a car is sold, depending on the customer request the car goes for a conversion. like adding Radio, Seat cover, etc
As per our setup we have different profit centers for vehicle and Parts(radio, seat cover etc) and in this case radio, seat cover, etc are the classes of the material vehicle(not separate material).
After the vehicle conversion there is a sales order raised which goes to profit center derived from vehicle material master.
As per the reporting requirement I need to spit the Cost of good sold and revenue by vehicle profit center and parts profit center for COPA reporting purpose
Is there any way to do this in standard SAP? Or I need an exit?
Appreciate your response and please let me know in case of any clarification.
Many thanks
Roy

Substituting Cost of Goods Sold Account Profit Center

Hi
I am using Sales Order substitution to change the Profit Center according to Sales Org + Product Hierarchy + Customer Group + Acct Asst Grp. This perfectly replace the Profit Center in Sales Order. The Profit Center from Sales Order is perfectly flowing to Outbound Delivery.
While doing PGI, in accounting document, Cost of Goods Sold line item is not getting the profit center from outbound delivery. It post COGS line item with Material Master profit center. We want profit center of Cost of Goods Sold line item is same as Sales order / Outbound Delivery.
I checked SCN, everyone provided the solution of using FI Substitution to change the Profit Center of COGS line item.
Is it any other way it can be achieved? if FI Substitution is only the way, can anyone provide the sample code, so that it can be developed fast.
Thanks

IDOC INPUT INVOIC FI Issue (Cross Company Sales)

Hello All,
As you know this IDOC posts the FI document for the cross company sales in the receiving company code.
I have found some business issues that I need advice for:-
1. If part of the sale has "free good" then SAP is grabbing the "cost price VPRS" from the billing document.
2. No material numbr from the SD billing document is added into the FI item. When I display the FI document the material is in the screen control. I guess I may need to use a userexit that allows me to add it manually in the field or as a text item.
3. CO-PA posting doesn't exist for the FI document as SAP advises that the GL account in OBCB is not a cost element. If I added the GL as a cost element then I would need to use a substitution or userexit ... to then change profit centre, etc. Note, if costs are not going into CO-PA then this will show incorrect sales profit figures, as cross company invoice is flowing into CO-PA.
4. Italy "free goods" have VAT charged, so I'm thinking that the IDOC cannot be used for Italy as mentioned in (1) above.
Looking for some handy advice. Note I have seen IDOC questions here and in SD, so not too sure this is the best place.

Cross company sale and billing process

Hello Everyone,
Could you please help me to configure Cross company sale and billing process step wise..my senario is:-
End Customer(J090) order goods (R-797) to company code and sales org (U100/U151). The stock is not available in plant U111. The inter company plant CQ11 agrees to supply the material (R-797) to the end customer directly. Now i need to create two invoices 1. End customer invoice and 2. Inter company invoice to the ordering plant AN36.
Comp code : U100
Plant : U111
Sales area : U151,DL,00
Material : R-797
End Customer :J090with sales area U151,DL,00 and company
code U100.
Delevering company
Comp code : CQ00
Plant : CQ11
Sales area : CQ11,DL,00
Please help me in this regard.
I shall be liable to u.
Thank u
Rikin

Hi
1. Assign the Delivering Plant CQ11 to the distribution chain U151+DL (Ordering sales org + dist.channel).
2, Assign Inter-company Billing type IV to your Order Type (e,g, OR).
3. Assign the Plant CQ11 to Sales Area U151/DL/00.
4. In XD01, create the Sales organisation U151 as a customer in the Supplying Sales area CQ11/DL/00. Then specify the customer number (e.g, 1111) against the Sales organisation U151.
5. Supplying company code CQ00 should exist as a vendor for the ordering company U151.
6. Now, maintain Pricing Procedure determination for the customer Invoice as below.
Customer Pricing Procedure (of the end customer) + Document Pricing Procedure (of your Order Type) + Ordering Sales Area (U151/DL/00) -
>> RVAA01.
7. Create condition record in VK11 for condition type PR00 on the level Ordering Sales org/End customer/Material (U151/End cust no/R-797).
8. Create condition record for condition type PI01 on the level, Ordering Sales org/Supplying Plant/Material (U151/CQ11/R-797).
Mark the condition type PI01 as statistical in the Pricing Procedure RVAA01. It is cost for the ordering company (U100) but revenue for supplying company (CQ00).
9. Maintain another Pricing Procedure (e.g, ICAA01) for Intercomp[any Billing as below,
Supplying Sales area (CQ11/DL/00) + Customer PP of the Internal customer created (e.g,1111) + Doc PP of the Inter-company Billing (e.g, IV) -
>> ICAA01.
10. In t.code V/06, for the condition type IV01(Inter-company Price), maintain/specify condition type PI01 as the reference condition.
We do not create condition record for Inter-company price condition type IV01. Infact, it takes the value from the ref condition PI01.
When goods are delivered to the customer J090 by supplying company CQ00, the Ordering company U100 will bill the customer J090 where the Pricing Procedure RVAA01 will be used (copied from the Sales order).
Next the Supplying company CQ00 will bill the Ordering company U100 using Intercompany Billing Type IV with reference to the Sales order, where Pricing Procedure ICAA01 will be used.
In the Inter-company Billing condition type PR00 also appears but in inactive mode. Condition type PI01 and IV01 takes the same value.
Hope, this will help.
Regards
