Cross Company STO without GI

Dear Sir/Madam,
Currently, i am working on a cross company STO and Third Party process.
This involves in the following:
1. Company (CN001) needs to purchase some materials from Company (SIN001).
Note: Both Company (SIN001) and Company (CN001) under same organization (Client). Both companies are using SAP.
2. Company (SIN001) creates a Sales order to Company (CN001).
3. Company (SIN001) purchases material from external vendor (VD001). Company (SIN001) requires to purchase from external vendor since the company does not produce.
At this scenaior, company (SIN001) will NOT perform any Goods Receipt from vendor (VD001). Instead, the material will ship to Company (CN001).
Question:
1. Can Company (CN001) creates a cross company STO order to Company (SIN001)?
2. Can Company (SIN001) create a Third Party Sales Order to Company (CN001)?
3A. Will system trigger Third Party PR after Company (SIN001) runs MRP?
B. Can Company (SIN001) convert PR to Third Party order (Purchase order) with item category 'X' without Goods Receipt?
4. How do Company (CN001) goods receipt materials from Vendor (VD001)? Using which document?
A. Cross - Company STO purchase Number
B. Sales order which issues by Company (SIN001)?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi Esther,
If you use the third party scenario, you don't need STO, and vice versa.
In the 3-d party scenario, C issues a regular PO to S, and S creates a third party SO, AS IF THEY WEREN'T WORKING IN THE SAME SYSTEM.
From that point on you follow the 3-d party standard process (SAP). The only disadvantage being that the process run decoupled, meaning that you have to issue the invoice by S and received it by C manually.
MRP is not involved in this process in S, only in C.
Alternatively, you can run an STO scenario, but for this a GR from purchasing in S must take place, even if it's a virtual one. MRP is involved in this case both in C and S.

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,

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

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.

Cross Company - STO

Hi All,
I am facing a error in Cross Company - STO. After creating Purchase Order and releasing it on the vendor (which is a plant belonging to another Company Code), during PGI it is throwing an error, " Purchase Order 45......... does not contain item relevant for Stock Transport order"

STO CONFIG:
The following steps have to be followed in order to configure stock transport order between two plants.
1. Create a vendor for the Company code of the receiving plant using account group 0007
via T-Code XK01.
2. In the purchasing data view assign the supplying plant and the schema group
3. Create customer with the sales area of the vendor.
4. The shipping conditions, the delivering plant and the transportation zone determine the
route in the STO.
5. In the pricing procedure determination relevant to the STO assign document pricing
procedure and customer pricing procedure to get the pricing in the invoice.
6. Maintain condition records for pricing condition.
7. Maintain carrier as a partner in the customer master.

Allocation table - cross company STO

Hi,
I tried to create allocation table for cross company STO, with item category E "E PO via DC (NB - cross company code)" . However when i save the allocation table with below error. I set the DC and vendor same code. Pls advice
Thanks
Distribution center 0000004001: Vendor 0000004001 and distribution center 0000004001 are identical

Hi,
I am assuming that you are generating PO as follow on document from Allocation Table. In that case use external vendor instead of DC as Vendor. Hope this will clear your issue. Thanks!

Hello
You should use transaction CO09 to check ATP situation,with checking rule B
for deliveries.
If there is enough ATP quantity a delivery can be created. Please check
using transaction CO09 with checking rule B, also please review attached
Notes 123500 and 89362.
Please also check note 848739: ATP check incorrect with delivery for
purchase order as a posssible solution.

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

Shipping a configurable material on a cross company STO

I would like to know if there is any way that a configurable system can be shipped on a cross company STO. I set up the STO with account assignment category of M and assigned the sales order so that the cost could be retrieved. But when I try to deliver it, there is no option to deliver it with a special stock indcator of E. Is it possible to add this to the movement type used for the cross company STO(type 643)?

Hi Jud,
Yes it is very much possible to ship Configurable material through Intercompany STO, Please set up your mvmt type 643 in OMWN , with 643 spl stock E with value and qty update, Consumption key E, Val String WA01, with one Transaction event key for GBB with account modifier VKA , and another line with same setting but transaction key PRD with account modifier PRA.
Similarly 101 should also be setup but since you are using Sales order stock already so I believe it wud be set up.

Inter Company STO without delivery

Hello All,
I have a scenario related to STO for both inter and intra company. Please guide me.
a) For intra company , we will be using UB type
b) For inter company without delivery, do wehave to use NB type ( correct me if am wrong and can anyone please provide configuration settings for without deliveries. )
Client is using third party software which will create Transfer order ( which is both intra and inter ). When this Orders is comming into SAP, they will send 3 different cost which should hit the GL account.
a) actual cost b) shipping location floor cost ( maybe transfer fee or markup ) c) reciving loation floor cost.
Ex: Shipping location cost -- $50
Shipping location floor cost -- $55
Receving location floor cost -- $ 54
Client wants SAP to determine the difference and post it into GL accounts of shipping and reciving location.
Regards,
SAP MM

What you want, I think this is unrealistic,
If you two G/L account will debit, then two G/L account must be credit...
In OBYA, this is just for cross company code, to post the amount to G/L for company code clearing account..
This is not possible to enter third G/L account to this company code clearing for inter company process.

Hi
Follow the below steps to to make STO between two plants belongs to same company codes).It is also called as Intera- Company STO.....
1)Create one Customer for Supplying Plant Sales area and assign this Customer no with Receiving Plant in OLME---> PO -
> Set up STO -
> define Shipping Data for plants. and maintain the same sales area in your Supplying plant.
2) In OLME---> PO -
> Set up STO.....for your Document Type: UB and Suppying plant Combination assign Del. Type NL and Checking rule RP
3) In OLME---> PO -
> Set up STO...for your Supplying Plant and Receiving Plant combination Maintain Doc. Type : UB
Make sure you are maintaining Sales View for your Material at Supplying Plant.
4) Maintain Shipping point at, SPRO----> Logistics Execution -
> Shipping -
> Basic Shipping Functions -
> Shipping Point Determination for Plants.....there for your Loading group, Shipping Condition, Shipping Plant combination maintain Shipping plant..
Now Create STO in ME21N with Doc.type: UB at Receiving Plant.
Then Create Delivery in VL10B from Supplying Plant...
Then Do PGI in VL02N from supplying Plant.
Then do GR at Receiving Plant based on Outbound Delivery at Receiving Plant...
Follow the below link for STO b/w company code:
http://www.sap-img.com/sap-sd/configure-intercompany-stock-transport-order.htm
Please find three scenarios as below for stock tranfer depending on valuation area.
1) If two plants belonging to same company code & valuation area is at compony code level then during stck tranfer between two plants only material document will be created & no accounting document will be created.
2)In case of Stock transfer between to plant belonging to same company & if two plant are assigned to different valuation areas then cross plant stock transfer will generate one accounting document parallel to material document.
3) In case of cross company code stock transfer TWO accounting documents are created at the time of posting one for each company code
This is exact difference in Stock transfer at different levels.

Apply Overhead to Cross Company Costing without BOM

Hi,
We are maintainin BOM's only in one plant and want to be able to cost materials in all the plants using costing run. The problem in doing so is we have the prices at different plants marked up by a specific percent when compared to the plant which mainatins the BOM's. It is possible to bring in the cost estimate of the material from the plant which has BOM's using the cross company costing and using special procurement keys but it is not possible to add an overhead to this cost estimate since the overhead is not added to this cost estimate. Please suggest an alternative approach if it is possible to add an overhead to a cost estimate from an another plant. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

If I am understanding you, a manufactured material cost 10.00 in the mfg plant; you want to uplift it by 30% so in second plant it has a cost of 13.00
To do this, we turned off Cross plant costing and used Profit center transfer pricing. By creating overhead groups for shipping plant and pricing them in conditions (trans VK19) based on "from" plant "to" plant.
One draw back - the entire cost in the receiving plant is a "material" component Labor and overhead are not broken out.
The other issue, for you, is that a consultant and the SD Pricing guru did the configutation, created new key combination to include overhead group, so I can not explain in detail how it was done. I do not think that any user exist is involved.
Perhaps this give you hope.

Cross company LIV without a Inter-company billing

Hi,
Is it possible to post a FI-customer invoice (FB70) in Company A by posting a LIV in Company Code B. Currently Company A does not have a Sales/Purchasing organization setup. Requirement for a PO in Company B is, to track the products and monitor the sales.
The standard (EDI) inter-company billing needs a order/billing to be created in Company A.

Dear Expert,
STO PO is created with 100Rs+7.5% margin Total PO value is 107.5Rs for 1 bag (Ref Company Code1) & Vendor (Ref Company Code2) Supplied that bag,Now I (Ref Company Code1) return that bag to my vendor (Ref Company Code2) & raise Credit memo for return PO of 107.5Rs,But Credit memo is created for 92.5Rs only not with 107.5rs.
These are with SD route.Currently the Condition for the margin is defined with below information:
Cond. class A Discount or surcharge
Calculat.type A Percentage
Cond.category B Delivery costs
Rounding rule Commercial
StrucCond.
Please let me know how to correct this.
Regards
TG

Hello,
While STO process from one company code another company code you are using transfer price 100 RS and 7.5% marging means total price is 107.5 Rs
But you were created 7.5% Margin condition type as Delivery cost. So delivery cost were not captured while Credit memo.
The 7.5% margin Delivery cost is wroks like Freight.
