Cross company delivery

hi
we have below scenario, pls advice. thanks
two company code - company A with plant A and company B with plant B. Company A receive the sales order and delivery by company B by delivery plant B which we will set the delivery plant B in sales order. Because the products will not stop over in company A. However, in some case, the product require to stop in company A, possible to create delivery note from company B transport the product to company A without using stock transport order. Only by sales order and delivery note? pls comment. thanks

Hi,
It looks for this scenario you need to use third party sales order.
When company B generates delivery, they can change the delivery address either to customer address or to company A address.
Please see the link for third party sales order process.

Availability check for intra company delivery

HI experts ,
we have set up the system to carry out the Availability check during the cross company delivery ,the same configuration had been maintained for the intra company delivery ,but the test result shows that the ATP check had only take consideration of the cross company delivery ,whereas it didn't cover the intra company delivery .So is there any clue for this .
BTW ,the check gruop is 02 ,checking rule is 01for the assignment.

Hi,
Check the which check rule system proposes for your transactions- sales order and delivery
How to check?
Vl02n-- Menu--> Environment-Avaialbility
It may not Checking rule 01, may be 'B"
you need to check the Co09 with this option only
By the above option it self you can check
MD04 will give -reservation for delivery ans sales orders- you can check here also

Cross-Company Stock Transfer with Delivery and Billing

Hello Fellow Experts and Friends,
I have a situation at a client in California. The client does Make-to-Order sales. The only materials kept in inventory are raw materials and NREs. This client has plants in several countries around the world but only two are on SAP. The current version is 4.6C.
The scenario goes like this. The plant in China (CC: 2020, Plnt: 0020) wants to order raw materials from the US plant (CC: 1010, Plnt: 0010). If the US plant does not have enough stock in inventory, an order needs to be placed with a local vendor. When all materials a re available to ship,we need to deliver to and invoice the China plant. Additionally, shipment notification needs to be sent to the plant in China.
IWould someone please be so kind as to helpme with a "Best Practice" process flow for Cross-Company STO with Delivery and Billing? I also need guidlines for customizing the process in the IMG. This process must include issuing a PO to a local vendor for ordering additional inventory. For the shipment notification, I was thinking of an EDI Advance Shipment Notice if the receiving plant uses EDI. I need a different option, If the receiving palnt does not use EDI.
I am open to your suggestions.
Thanks,
AJ

Arthur,
Once this is correctly set up it works very, very well. And the cross-company supply scenario is actually fairly simple, streamlined and automated. However, this is NOT such a simple process to set up.
True cross-company supply, all the way through, requires a LOT of configuration which ties in SD, MM, FI, and EDI. It uses "wrap-around" IDocs to do some of the cross-posting in other company codes. There is also the issue of Intercompany markups, as well as Intercompany eliminations.
There are LOTS of folks who do the painful process of the FULL Order to Cash in one company code, and the full Purchase to Pay in the other. But this is NOT the right solution and requires almost twice as much transaction processing.
Just for the Intercompany setup, start to finish, I've been working on a "cookbook" to set up all of the modules for almost 10 years now. I've done it several times, at several companies and it works very well once it is all in place. However, that cookbook document is about 100 pages long (config settings, IMG settings, master data requirements, EDI settings, etc.).
Also, in your scenario you are talking about multi-sourcing parts from other locations. All of the related MRP settings are a separate setup issue.
What you are asking is WAYYYYyyy beyond the scope of forum posting. So if your company or client could use some help, please feel free to contact me.

Delivery & Billing document (Cross Company)

Hi All,
This is Cross Company STO process
Reciving plant (R111) create PO of 5,00,000 KG which can be send by supply Plant (S222) throughout a year
Material is Coal Ash , fills into Railcar but at the time of filling Material in railcar they didn't know the exact weight, so fill with estimated weight (based on the size of railcar they can derive this quantity) of lets say 500KG, after that S222 plant completed delivery with PGI as well as billing/invoice for 500 KG .
Rail car will reach to weighting machine after 4 days and on weighting machine exact weight comes out is 650KG (Or less 450KG for 2nd case) , the exact weight information will send to S222 plant
Rail car will reach to plant R111 after 20 days and plant R111 do GR wrt Delivery doc ( for Qty 500KG) and do invoicing for the same qty of 500KG, they didn't know that exact weight is 650KG
- For Difference quantity of 150KG (which is extra), plant S1111 create one more delivery and one more billing/invoice document.
For same quantity plant R111 do GRN and create one more invoice.
- Why Plant S222 doing PGI if they don't know the excat quantity?
Because for plant S222, they have to show goods sold as of day to Management, they can not wait for next 4 days for exact weight.
Requirment -
1. Company wants every railcar should have only one Invoice so they can track invoice railcarwise
2. How will we manage if weight quantity is less after weighing lets say (450KG) in this case, what plant S111 will do
Appriciate your early response.
Thx
Shree

what have you done before you implemented SAP?
In general you would have a gap in the reporting value just in one month, the month of changing approach, from then on it is always a month, what you miss at the end is added in the beginning.
What about buying an own weigh bridge to get the accurate weight right on time?
Make a calculation how much effort it is to monitor this case, to create subsequent deliveries and billing per rail car or subsequent cancellations and credit notes per rail car.
Usually the management is keen to save costs.
Here you have actually an internal case, even 2 legal companies are involved, they belong to the same concern, so the money does not really leave, hence no loss interest.
All effort is just for reporting.
As said before, if management does not want to move from their position, then their is no way around a complicated process that can cause a lot trouble

Replenishment delivery cross company

Hi,
does anybody know if it is possible to include more than one purchase order in a Replenishment delivery cross company? How?
We usually include in a transport goods from more than one purchase orders, so we have to deal with various deliveries (more paper, more deliveries to introduce then in MIGO at destination,....).
Thanks in advance

COMPAC - The Surfaces Company

Joan, hi.
Go back again to your routine 301.
There is a line like this one: LIKP-LFDAT = XKOMDLGN-LFDAT.
This line transfers delivery date from Cross Company STO item to Delivery Header.
As in your case you have many items from different STO's but just one header (your desired combined delivery) you should make some assumptions and decide some logic, for example put always the date of today
LIKP-LFDAT = sy-datum so the header data would be the same for all the deliveries avoiding the split.
maybe a more complex logic (I'm not ABAP expert) but maybe you can keep the smaller of the STO items delivery dates a take this one for header.
Try taking two STO's with different dates and manually replace LIKP-LFDAT for a common date (for example today) when debugging routine 301 and see what happens.

Final Delivery Box - Cross Company PO

Good Afternoon !
Gentlemen,
I have been facing an issue and will much appreciate any help with that. I am pretty sure many of you have been through this before.
We are making a PO (Cross Company), but, after I make a good receipt and receive all the material (full) listed in the PO the u201CFinal deliveryu201D box does not update. It is still unchecked.
I cannot manually check that box due the default SAP error (message error #06848), as well as it happens to does not update the documents workflow (message error #M7352)
Also it is affecting the MRP ... so it is becoming critical.
Would have any idea to how to proceed to fix it up?
We have already applied the SAP Note 160525 without success.
We are with:
SAP Version - SAP ECC 6.0
SAP_APPL   604 005 SAPKH60405
I hope I made myself clear and thank you all in advance.
Best Regards
Everton Esquia

Dear Everton,
Please review the attached note which is self-explanatory the behaviour
of delivery completed indicator with respect to STOs
1093582 FAQ: Delivery complete indicator ELIKZ
5. Question
In which cases does the system automatically set ELIKZ in stock
transport orders?
Answer
ELIKZ will be set at the goods receipt stage automatically, if the GI =
GR quantity. This behaviour applies to intra-company stock transport
orders and cross-company stock transport orders. See note 196280.
With stock transport orders the 'delivery completed' indicator is only
relevant when there is no stock in transit The tolerance quantities from
the purchase order are not taken into account.(see note 34737).
It is possible to modify the standard to allow to set the "delivery
completed" indicator for cross-company stock transport orders. This
modification is contained in note 167795.
Please also take into account the following attached related notes
196280     Tolran. and finl deliv. indic. fr stck transp. ord.
167795     Completion of stock transfers with GI qty > GR qty
34737      'Delivery completed' doesn't close transport order
Although the note 34737 says for lower releases, the information is
valid for your release too.
Cheers !

Questions on Inter-company and Cross-company sales ordering process..

Hi,
I understood the delivery plant and the sales org. is not in the same company code might be the process, but i want to know some details especially in SAP system how it is realized and processed, hope could kindly help me on below questions!! thanks!!
1)what is the difference between inter-company sales and Cross-company sales??
2)What is the general document flow and config. when in below 2 cases:
Suppose the 2 company code under same sap client system, then what kinds of company code,plant config within the system for inter-compan and cross-company, and finally what kind of document flow will it be in the system.
Suppose the 2 company code is under diff sap system, then what kind of doc flow in each sap system for inter-company and cross-company sales process???
Thank you very much!!!!

Hi,
Basically there are totally Three types of scenarios
1. Intra Compnay Stock Transport Order
In this type of scenario, the stock is transfered between Two Plants which are under the same Compnay Code. The document type used here is UB. Here in this scenario the owner ship on the stock is not changed thats way there will not be any Invoice. The process as follows
a. Create Purchase Order with document type UB - ME21N
b. Create Replenishment Delivery with Document type NL - VL10B
c. Picking and PGI - VL02N
Now stock will be shown in Transit, you can check this using T.Code MB5T.
d. Do MIGO to receive the stock into ordering plant.
2. Inter Compnay Stock Transport Order
This is called as Cross Compnay STO. Here the stock is sent from one plant to another plant which are in two different Compnay codes. That means the Ownership on the stock is changed in this scenario, that way there will be Intercompnay Invoice IV is reaised. Here the stock is just moved to one plant to another plant but not to any customer.
The Process is as follows
a. Create a PO using type NB - ME21N
b. Create a Cross Compnay Replenishment delivery using type NLCC - VL10B
c. Picking and PGI in VL02N
d. Inter Compnay Invoice IV is raised by Supplying Compnay code to the Ordering Compnay Code - VF01
for this a customer created in Supplying Compnay who represents the Ordering Compnay and the invoice is raised against to that customer.
e. MIGO to receive the stock in Ordering Plant
f. MIRO to do invoice verification and do Vendor account update. This also can be done by EDI triggering, to update the Vendor Account. That means with this step, ordering compnay will update into its vendor account that he has to give certain amount to the compnay who supplied the stock.
3. Inter Compnay Customer Sales
This is similer to the 2 process, but here instead of sending to Plant we will send the stock directly to Customer of other compnay code.
The process is as follows
a. Customer raises normal sales order in another compnay code of type OR - VA01
b. But if the plant of that compnay does not have stock, then in the order the plant is changed to other compnay code plant.
c. Delivery is created in supplying Compnay against this Order - VL01
d. Picking and PGI is done - VL02N
e. But the stock is sent direclty to customer from supplying plant.
f. Ordering compnay will raise normal invoice F2 to the customer
g. Supplying Compnay will raise Intercompnay invoice IV to the Ordering Compnay.
But for all these process there are some configurations can be done, like
the material should be extended to both the plants
a customer is created in supplying plant who represents the ordering plant so that IV can be generated to that customer.
Supplying Plants should be linked to ordering Sales Org and Distribution channel. etc.
Hope this is clear.
Thanks

Problem in GRN while Capturing Excise Invoice in Cross Company STO Scenario

Dear All,
In the Cross Company STO Scenario we are following the steps as below:-
1.) Creation of the purchase order to the supplying plant of type u201CNBu201D
2.) Creation of the Outbound delivery in VL10B
3.) Post Good Issue in the VL02N.
4.) Creation of the billing doc.
5.) Creation of the Excise Invoice.
6.) MIGO w.r.t to the Outbound delivery in the receiving plant
During MIGO ,initialy system is picking the excise rates and excise base value by its own from the purchase order and the moment when we refer the Excise Excise Invoice created in the supplying plant , system takes the Excise rates from the excise invoice created in the supplying plant and Excise Base value is becoming ZERO and we are getting the error :u201D *Please check excise base for the item is ZERO
Message no : 4F121
Please Suggest what to do and why this error is coming.
When I am giving any other Excise no is the Excise Invoice feild in MIGO , it is taking and refering the rates in PO and giving one information message that Excise invoice no is different from the supplying plant excise invoice no.
Thanks & Regards
Nitin

HI,
Check the excise base vlaue in the Supplying plant excise invoice. If its 0, maintain the assessible value in J1ID & Check.
If everything is found OK, check if any SAP notes are available.
Thanks & Regards,

Cross Company Stock Transfer- Please check excise base for the item is zero

Hi,
My scenario is Cross company Stock transfer (Two different Company Codes)
I have done following steps :
1.Create Purchase Order
2.Create Outbound Delivery for Purchase Order
3.Post Goods Issue for Delivery
4.Creating Billing Document
5.Creating Excise Invoice
6.Printing of Excise Invoice
7.Post Goods Receipt for Stock Transport Order
Till MIGO there is no problem.
I am getting a errro while doing MIGO with reference to Outbound Delivery, when I enter Excise Invoice created in sending plant, I am getting error as
"Please check excise base for the item is zero" - Message no. 4F121
Excise Duty values are flowing as per the excise invoice but system make base value as 0 , I have maintained Assesable value in J1ID also. We are using TAXINN.
Pl. help
Thanks
Vikas

Hi
The best way to slolve this problem, Now is to maintain Assable value in Material Master For reciving Plant.
Hear you can maintain all the chapter id, register A or C, etc
and then try doing GR,
The other way and the permanent solution is
VPRS or equivalent
Condition class B Prices
Calculat.type C Quantity
Condit.category H
Cond.control H Condition value fixed
Condit.origin A Automatic pricing
In this Condition category is most important and by this only system copies the base amount for excise duty calculation in MIGO or J1IEX.

Error in cross company STO scenario

Hi All,
We have a cross company STO scenario. When I try to create the PO (document type NB) I get an error that
"Customer XYZ does not exist (please change entry in plant ABCD)"
I have rightly assigned the customer XYZ to the plant ABCD as required in the IMG node Set up for stock transport order. Also the customer XYZ has been created. But I don't know why the system gives this error even when the customer has been created properly.
After debugging I found that this is because of some missing value in the field CCOMP (Stock tranfer category) in the EKPO table.
What is this stock transfer category? Am I missing some configuration here?
Regards,
V S

Hi,
Please check the following details;
Material should exist in both the plants (Delivering & Ordering),
Internal customer should be assigned to the ordering plant ( MM -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Setup stock transport order -> assign the internal customer to the ordering plant and assign the Sales area of the internal customer.
Assign its Sales area to the delivering plant
Assign the document type and Delivery type NB and NLCC
Assign the Supplying plant --> Receiving Plant --> NB
Take the delivering plant and assign the sales area.
Vendor master has to be created and assaign the supply source ( Delivering Plant).
Create a puchase order ME21N ---> Save

Issues on cross-company stock transfer triggered by sales order

Hi, friends:
As our business process required, we need to make the cross-company sale between to plants under two company codes.
The business process required is different from standard inter-company billing in SAP SD module. Our business process is as follows:
sales order --> PR --> PO --> cross-company stock transfer --> delivery to customer --> billing.
However, there is a difficulty in this process of make-to-stock production method. When we use schedule line item in SO to trigger the PO, there is a must to assign "account assignment category" in PO. This indicator is unchangable in PO by manual. When post goods recepit against the PO, there is no stock quantity udpate in un-restricted stock. By the way, I selected "C" in the "account assignment category" of schedule line item cofiguration.
Checked the MM documents, I found it seemed like only two results of PGR against PO with account assignment category. One result of PGR is directly consumpted by receiptent or unloading point. The other result of PGR is updating sepecial stock. For example, I've fullfilled the process for make-to-order production method, the stocks are specified for sales order.
In our requiremnt, we have to post to normal un-restricted stock for the following ATP in sales order.
Could any friend give some suggestion on this issue?
Thanks!
Justin

Hi, Venkadesh:
I've checked the Purchasing view and quantity/value update in both plants of different company codes. That's correctly configured.
In the business process, the quantity in normal un-restricted stock updating still doesn't work.
Do you mean that as follows: if select any indicator in "account assignment category", we have to use UNBW or NLAG material type in the purchase order?
I have successfully fullfilled the process in make-to-order sales order, with material type FERT and account assignment category "E". The account assignmnet categroy is obligatory in sales order schedlue line item configuration, which is to trigger PO by SO. The configuration path is as below:
IMG>Sales and Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Schedule Lines-->Define Schedule Line Categories
If possible, would make a test in your system to check how to fullfill the process with make-to-stock sales order, FERT material?
Thanks!
Justin

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.
Edited by: pravin_shah1403 on Nov 25, 2011 3:00 PM

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 and Billing doesn't call BUV transaction settings

Hello Dear Experts.
Please help me with the following issue:
1) The Company consists of Headquater and branches (one legal entity) - several Company codes are set in the system for each unit.
2) The Contract for deliverying goods/implementation services with the Customer is concluded by the Head Office. Let's assume it's Company Code One.
3) The goods is delivered by the plant, which is assigned to one of the branches, that is another Company Code in the system - CC2.
4) Our FI group customised the Transaction BUV - Clearing between company codes by the following IMG path: Financial Accounting (New)-->General Ledger Accounting (New)-->Business Transactions-->Prepare Cross-Company Code Transactions (TCode OBYA).
Note: This customising on clearing accounts work well during material transfer between Company Codes in MM and operations within Asset Management in FI-AA.
5) I've created a sales order in CC1. I've pointed that deliverying plant is from CC2. When the billing is posted the system doesn't take the customising from BUV transaction.
What do you think the problem is about?
The entry posts in FI should go as shown in the figure above.
However right now the entries as follows:
CC1: Debits 1210 (Receivabless); Credits 6010 (Revenues). just within Company Code 1.
VAT is not shown both here and in the Figure.
Thanks in advance, Please help me...
PS: I have customised Intercompany Billing through IV Billing with Internal Customer an so on, but our FI group wants to have another schema with posting as shown in the Figure above within the one step in creating the billing document.

I'm not familiar with Verizon wanting people to change their plans online. We just went in to upgrade a phone and they offered to check and see if we were elligible for a discount.
Yes, you would think she could have easily given me the credit for 6 weeks but after sitting on hold for as long as I have with this situation, when she came back and wasn't interested in checking about it, I didn't have the strength left in chasing down her supervisor to get it. Fact is, I should have never spent that much time trying to get them to correct their error. I'm very disappointed that after talking to as many Verizon employees as I did, no one could tell me what happened and how to fix it. I can not be the only person that had that kind of change with that plan.
No one has contacted me yet. I'd be surprised it they did.

Cross Company STO w/billing through 3rd Company Code

We have the following situation with our Plants and Company Codes:
   1)     Company Code 1, Plant 1 (Manufacturing and Distribution), US
   2)     Company Code 2, Plant 2 (Manufacturing), Asia
   3)     Company Code 3, Plant 3 (Distribution), Europe
We are implementing functionality to move product directly from our Manufacturing Plants to our new DC. Product can be directly shipped from Plant 2 to Plant 3, but the invoice must flow through Company Code 1 due to legal reasons. This is only an invoicing requirement as they are not required to ever u201Cownu201D the stock (no transfer of ownership).
The solution being proposed right now utilizes 2 Cross-Company STOs (both with Delivery and Invoicing - NB and NLCC). This would involve creating an STO that would move product from Plant 2 to Plant 1 (invoicing between CCode2 and CCcode1), and then a 2nd STO (Cross Company) moving Product from Plant 1 to Plant 3 (invoicing between CCode1 and CCode3). However, the product would never physically arrive in Company Code 1/Plant 1. This is a "virtual" movement to meeting the invoicing requirements. I see this option as complicated logistically and probably requiring customization to keep the documents in sync and provide visibility to their relationship with each other.
I have spent a lot of time researching the forums, Wiki, etc. to see if there is an SAP Standard/Best Practice for the process of moving the Product (once produced) directly to the DC but invoicing via another (3rd) Company Code. It seems that many manufacturing companies must face this same situation. I just want to be sure forcing another complication in the Supply Chain is the best way to meet the financial requirements or if there might be a better option out there that others have implemented. Our goal is to simplify and optimize the Supply Chain, so it seems it just should be easier to meet this financial requirement than forcing Goods Movements in and out of a Plant and creating additional documents.
Does anyone have experience with this situation (Product sent directly between 2 entities, but billed through a 3rd entity) that they could comment on what is considered u201CBest Practiceu201D for this?

Hi,
I want to share one idea that during STO between company code 2&3, you need to createvendor master record in 3 company code. During creation of venor master create invoicing party (IP) as company code 1. Then invoice will be paid to company code 1.
Another solution is third party scenario. Any way this is intercompany STO, SOME WHAT RESEMBLES EXTERNAL PROCUREMENT INTERMS OF PAYMENT. Why can't you go for third party scenario. In this treat the company code 3 as customer and company code 2 as supplier of the material. Company code is the actual vendor, but orders the msterial from company code2. Company code2 directly delivers the materail to 3 and in company code 1 can do invoice. If required logical MIGO can br done. Hope it helps you. Thanking you.
