Cross-company in SAP AFS...

hi all,
we are using SAP AFS. we did the all required customization for cross-company. There is no problem while using process for the materials that don't have grid. But for the materials with grid, in vl10b, we can't create delivery. Error is : No stock available for stock transp. & material & (Message code: 8W 356). But in stock lists, stock seems available. Is there extra customization step for cross-company process in AFS?

Hi, the AFS Cross Company Sales Scenario is based on the buildingblock J62.This scenario enhances the Standard Cross Company Sales Order Processing to process AFS materials and AFS Specific settings.

Cross-company sales delivered by non-sap production plant.

Dear guru's,
We are looking for the best solution for a cross-company sales scenario. The difference to the normal solution is that the delivering plant is not supported (yet) by our SAP system but is still on it's own platform. So customer order intake in the sales organization is done in SAP for company code A. This is delivered from another country directly to the end customer but this delivering plant is not on our SAP system. Please advise on the best configuration for this situation.

As per SAP standard you can handle this situation by [Third Party Sales|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/e6/4a78e39e0311d189b70000e829fbbd/content.htm].
Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X u2013 The company,
y u2013 The customer
Z u2013 Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
One method is
After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
Another method is
is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgment and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.

Cross company subcontrating in sap with same company code

Dear Sir
we have an scinario of cross company subcontrating in sap with same company code , take an example my plat is 1003 and another is 1019 with same company code, so is it possible to do subcontracting ? i will process doccoumntation like j1if01
which i raise with vendor also.
plz send me procedure
regards''
sumit

Yes,you can do subcontracting between plants of same company code.
You need to to treat respective plants as vendors.
SAP process may be
1. Create a subcon p.o (sending plant as vendor)
2. Issue material using MB1B
3. Raise challan using J1IF01 if it is excisable or else print material document(step-2) as delivery challan for reference.
4. Receiving plant will raise sales order based on p.o
5. GR material from issuing plant - MIGO
6. Process material
7. Do Delivery / PGI from receiving plant
8. Do billing or proforma invoice
9. Receive processed material based on p.o
10. Challan reconcillation(not needed if material is non excisable)
11. Invoice for subcontracting work(optional)

Direct procurement and Indirect Procurement in SAP AFS

Hi,
Can you diffrentiate between Direct procurement and Indirect Procurement in SAP AFS.
thanks
Aki

Hi Aki,
Direct Procurement
Raw Material and Production Goods
Order Qty: Large
Value: Industry specific (Like shirt in apparel industry)
Direct procurement supports the conversion of planned requirements to purchase orders.
Primary Processes-Direct Procurement
1. Determination of the materials and services required.
2. Create requisition.
3. Request for the quotation.
4. Quotation Management.
5. Vendor selection.
6. Create Purchase Order.
7. Goods Receipt and Invoice Receipt.
8. Invoice Verification/ Vendor Payment.
Indirect Procurement
Maintenance, Repair and Operating (MRO) Supplies
Order Qty: Low
Value: Generic (Machine Spare Parts in any industry)
Indirect procurement supports the purchasing of indirect materials and subcontracting.
This process can be dealt with using standard functions such as material requirements planning, purchase requisition, stock transport order, transportation planning and the handling of internal deliveries.
The cross-plant, internal procurement of materials can be carried out within one company code (intercompany) or by using several company codes (cross company).
Primary Processes-Indirect Procurement
1. Requisitioning
2. Purchase Order Management
3. Receiving
4. Financial Settlement
Hope it helps.

Stock report for cross-company sales

Dear all,
We are using for our Saudi Arabia company the cross-company sales process with sourcing unit in another country.
There is a Legal requirement in Saudi to provide a Stock report (with "stock in", "stock out" quantities and values).
But with the cross-company sales process the stock movements are not visible in Saudi.
Any advice ? Is there a report in SAP for this legal reqirement in Saudi Arabia ?
Best regards

Hi,
Try to use t-code MB51, will give you a list with the relevant movement types!
Good luck

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,

Posting of cross company transaction with different doc types

Hi,
The scenario is:-
We have two companies X and Y.
X makes a payment to Y with the following FI entries:-
Company Code X
Dr Vendor Y
Cr Bank HDFC
Company Code Y
Dr Bank ICICI
Cr Customer X
Now this needs to be a cross company transaction where the doc type for CC X should be vendor Payment 'KZ' while the doc type for CC Y should be a customer reciept with doc type 'DZ'.
Although I am able to map the accounts in cross company code config I am not able to split the transaction of different company codes with different document types.
Is there any way we can do this in standard SAP?
Thanks in advance,
Nitish

Hi
As per your issue ...There are no possibilities to post in sap with different document types.
If you want you can post cross company code transactions with one document types

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.

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!

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?

Profit center substitution in cross-company sales

Hi,
We're working here with cross-company sales and profit center.
Let assume that we have a final customer, sales organization (1090 and 1190) and plants (1090 and 1190).
1090 is selling to the final customer and 1190 will sell to 1090.
Everything is monitored from SD in 1090. So we create a sales order in sales organization 1090 for the final customer. Then for the item we change the plant (automatic proposed value 1090 => changed into 1190), this in order to represent a cross-company sale.
After we changed the plant ... we can see in the account assignment tab that we now have 2 "profit center fields". SAP notes 815972, 39254, 713228 ... explain that we can manage different values for the two fields (profit center and profit center billing) using subsitution (0KEL and 0KEM transactions). Unfortunately we're not able here to change the value for the Profit Center Billing field, even through an exit !!
Could anyone give us a hand on this ?
Regards.
Benjamin BROCHON

Hi we got the same problem where the substitution is not working, 0KEL we have set the status 2. but still the customer billing document contains the wrong profit center. can you help us on this issue? please replay to [email protected]
