Customer/Sales order stock

Hi,
The requirement is,
1.The Scenario is to create a Sales order and block the Stock with batches to the particular Customer/Sales order.
How to process this, can 412 E thru MB1B tcode can be used or any other way?
any diff if we block with reference to the customer or sales order stock ?
2.Before creating delivery and PGI the stock ownership will be transfered to the customer? any solution for this.
thanks
sr

Hi
In availabity check controls in OVZ9 if you tick include sales requirements then stocks will get reserved for your sales order
This is quiet sufficient to meet your requirement
But in MMBE it will not show as reservation agaist that order number
For this you have to do MB1B movement type 412 E or 413
you can also create delivery and dont do PGI that will also take care of reservation
Before creating delivery and PGI the stock ownership will be transfered to the customer?
any solution for this.
I am not able to understand this
In standard SAP only after Billing the ownership is transferred to customer
even after PGI it will be Cost Of Goods Sold COGS only
Check this thread whether this is useful to you
Forum post in ERP - Sales and Distribution (SD) General: reservation

Reserving the sales order stock for a customer

Hello SAP gurus !!
My client is wants to Reserve the stocks once the order is placed or confirmed by the Customers.
For Example; --
If 10 c/s are available in the plant and a customer has ordered 10 c/s... next time .. if someone is creating order for the same Material, system should not confirme sales Order as this particular stock has already booked by the customer.
Can we MAP this scanario in creating DUMMY sales order??
I have also tried to move the sales order stock to Reserved Stock by creating Reservations (Tcode MB21) using movement type 412 E.
but i m not sure whether i m on the right way or wrong??
Please help me on this particular issue. Points will be rewarded for Helpful answers.
Thanks in advance.

MAYANK

Hi Ravi
Actually we have started this particular issue with Product Allocation only.... but the problem with product allocation is : you can not reserve/block the stocks even if it has been allocated to other customers.
If some other user is creating the sales Order for some other customer, system will confirm and you can do the delivery also.
Basically Client want to first allocate( here allocation could be through creation of Dummy Sales Order also) then also want to BLOCK /RESERVE for those customers... so that nobody should be allowed to use those Stocks.
We have Already tried with:--
1. Product Allocation
2. OVZ9 ( checking Group 02/ Sales Order Combination)
3. MB21 ( creating Reservation with Movement Type 412 E)
4. Consignment Process
& some other Options but exact requirement has not been met.
Now we are trying to solve this Issue using some scenarios Other than Prod Alloc.
I hope i have clearly explained the requirement still you have any doubts, please revert back.
Thanks in advance

Third party process with Valuated sales order stock

Hi All,
We have third party sales order process with valuated sales order stock. The problem is that in the theird party PR which is triggered directly from the sales order it determines a stock account which is assigned to the BSX key in OBYC.
But since this is third party processing as per my understanding a consumption account assigned to key GBB-VAX (since account assignmnt category is X) should get determined, so that when the GR is done against the PO a consumption posting is done in the background.
I am not able to understand if the system is determining the stock account due to the fact that it is valuated sales order stock and if so, what should happen after GR. Should we have a stock created for the material which is physically directly delivered to the customer?
Regards,
V S

Hi,
Check GBB-VKA which is defined in OME9 for your ''E'' Account Assignment Category that SAP will debit upon GR posting
Also check "X" GBB-VAX and the G/L account assignment in OBYC
The posting on GR should be debit KBS -Credit GR-IR

Move sales order stock to company stock in QI

Is there any movement type to move sales order stock to company's own stock in quality.
With 411 E quantity is transferred from unrestricted-use special stock E (sales order stock) to unrestricted-use companys own stock.
But my company requires that sales order stock be moved into company stock in QI.
411 E moves stock into MARD-LABST but we need it to be moved into MARD-INSME.
Any input on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pushpinder Randhawa.

Hi,
I believe your stock is not customer returns as picked from your question.
by copying the movment type the behaviour of movement type doesnot change. do you think by copying 411E and giving the name 911E you can post to QI stock ?
the defination of movement type 411E is self explainatory
411E Transfer posting of sales order stock to company's own stock
The quantity is transferred from unrestricted-use special stock E ( sales order stock), to unrestricted-use storage location stock.
no it is not possible by copying the movement type.
carry out 2 step process. from unresctricted transfer to QI.

Sales order stock from Projects

Dear Gurus,
The Scenerio is,
I am procuring materials through project. Generally it will go into project stock, If it is mentioned as a stock item. But my requirement is, the procured material has to go into salesorder stock.( Bcoz delivery of material happening in SD thrpugh sales order.) Is that possible? If yes, what are all the settings, I have to do in PS module and other modules,if required. But the cost(Planned/Actual) has to be captured against Project.
Awaiting for your reply.
Regards
Suresh

Hi,
When you are creating a PR from project , the "OPTT" customizing
1.Should have the "D" setting for "Sales Doc- Project" setting.
and in the sales order that is relevant to the project , you must have the WBS element assignment
Both the project and the Sales order should have the material ! project having it as being procured ( to take care of PR & PO generation )
and the SO having the material as being delivered ( to do the delivery and billing of the material supplied )
The Sales order should have the material production or procurement getting triggered through the item category ( and the material master's MRP Type ) and the requirement type !!
All these settings once maintained, you can have GR of material to Sales order stock !
Best Regards,
M.Amarendra

Difference between Valuated and Non valuated Sale order stock

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me the difference between the above said subject with the steps involved in each scenario.
That is valuated sale order stock and Non valuated sale order stock in Product cost by Sale Order.
With Journal entries at each step and whether any WIP or variances at Production order level and sale order level and all the financial entries related to them
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi Kumar

Hi Shail,
Thans for your inputs,
But I wanted to know it in more detail. In what scenarios they are used with financial entries in both the cases.
I will give you my scenario. It goes like this,
My client is in pipe coating business, who receives pipes from customers and does only coating work(which is considered as service) and despatches it to the customer. this process is carried on the basis of work order(Sale order).
Now Production order is created and work is done on that with reference to Sale order for that particular customer.
So the pipe which my client receives should be non valuated stock as it will not be a raw material to them and the cost incurred on it is booked on production order like chemicals as raw material consumption, activity cost etc.
now in this scenario just tell me how and at which stage FI entries get generated at Production order and Sale order level, and also at wat level Standard cost estimate should be created i,e at production order level or sale order level(sale order cost estimate).
Will there be any entries at goods isssue and GR against production order. If no then how the COGM account will get hit.
Please tell me this scenario in both cases Valuated sale order stock and Non valuated sale order stock with financial entries in Sale order costing.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Kumar

Make to Order - where is Sale Order Stock

Hi All
I have a Configurable Product, say Book. The Customer places the Order say for 1000 Books but does not give the details of the Ship-to parties. The Order is taken into Production and the Ship-to particulars are available one day prior to the despatch. The requirement is that the User has to create multiple Ship-tos in 1 Sales Order (Costing, Wastage calculation etc., is done Sales Order-wise) and will enter the Quantities for the Ship-to parties only when he receives the despatch instructions from his Customer.
The Sales Order initially is created for 1000 Nos with no Ship-to Party being entered at the Item level (Item No: 10, Material # Book; the Classification editor contains the required Characterstics when the Order for 1000Nos is entered for the first time). The Order is produced and the Stock is available as Sale Order Stock for 1000 Nos. When the despatch details are received, the Ship-to parties are entered in the Sales Order {Sales Order entry will now look as: Item # 10, Book, 700 Nos for Ship-to # 1 and Item # 20, Book, 300 Nos for Ship-to # 2}. When the 2nd Line Item is entered in the Sales Order, the Classification Editor opens once again, though this is ignored and no values are set.
Issue:
a) Delivery could not be handled through VL10; it had to be done through VL01N.
Delivery could be created and PGI done for Ship-to # 1 only but unable to do PGI for 300 Nos for Ship-to # 2. The error I get is that there is no Sales Order Stock (1000 Nos have been produced initially and after doing PGI the balance of 300 Nos (meant for Ship-to # 2) is getting displayed in MMBE but is appearing as Item # 10. The Requirement Class is shown as KEM in the Sales Order.
b) When the 2nd Line Item (Item # 20) is entered in the Sales Order, the Schedule Line shows about 7 days into the future although Sale Order Stock is available.
Have I missed something?
Regards
Ramana ND

Manoj
The so-called 2nd Line item is nothing but the same Material and this Quantityis already available in Sale Ordertock (part of 1000 Nos); this had to be shown as a 2nd Line Item coz there is a different Ship-to party. Btw... the requirement Class type in the Procurement Tab in VA01 for both the Line Items shows KEM...
My question is: why is the so-called 2nd Line Item is being treated separately? The Order is for 1000 Nos and all I am doing is splitting the Quantity between the 2 Ship-to.. The Sales OrderStock clearly shows 1000 Nos which I am not able to Ship-to #2 coz Item # 20 does not show Stock in MMBE ... Only Item # 10 has Stock of 3000 Nos ...

Valuated Sales order stock - Goods Receipt

Greetings,
I am trying to better understand the concept of 'Valuated Sales order stock" and I read in the SAP documentation that:
"When you are using a valuated sales order stock, externally procured individual requirements materials are assigned to the sales order stock at the net order price at the time of the goods receipt"
But I find that in our SAP system, this is not the case. Externally procured materials are valued at whatever price they are costed in the sales order they are used.
I can have a PO whose net price is 5000 Euros for Material X but if that same Material X is costed at 8000 Euros in the Sales order to which is it used, the GR for Material X will be at 8000 Euros.
(the PO for Material X is assigned against the sales order).
Perhaps I am misunderstanding what is meant by "externally procured individual requirements materials"?
In the example above, material X is not the Finished Goods sold to customer through the Sales order. It is a component that is involved in the production of the FG.
It seems to me more logical that Material X value be based on the cost estimate computed in the sales order rather than on the PO Net price...
Thanks in advance for your valuable feedbacks!
Best regards,
Sylvain

Hello Nikolas,
Thanks for your answer.
Yes, we value our inventory at Std.
(Is this why the GR is valued at Sales order cost estimate and not Net Price?. SAP does not mention this in its documentation)
I understand your point but my argument is based on the fact that if a purchased material (Material X in my example) is received into stock at the Net Price value, then, there will be a mismatch between
- the Cost Estimate of Material X in the Sales order (Material X will be valued at its Std there, based on our Costing variant)
and
- the value at which this Material X will be consumed in the Production process (since it will be at Net Price).
This would cause a Production variance to be recognized since the actual costs to produce the Finished good would be different from the Cost estimate of the Finished Good in the Sales order (and the cost estimate in the sales order determine the COGS of the Finished Goods in accounting).
The difference of 20 you mention is treated as a Purchase Price variance in our case. That PPV is assigned against the Sales order.
Best regards,
Sylvain

Non valuated sales order stock-help reqd

Dear Experts,
My client is into Pipe coating business who receives the pipe from the customers, coats it as per there requirements and dispatches it thereon. There is no concept of FG here as its only the service he is doing on it and also when he receives the pipe there is no raw material cost on it. Raw materials for him would be chemicals etc which he uses to coat the pipe.
This is the case of NON Valuated sales order stock.
1) non valuated GR will be done for customer stock -Only QTY update
2) sales order bom will be created with defined characteristic.
3) Plan cost of sales order will be updated based on Costing ID setting
4)Production order will be created based on Sales order.Good issue and Activity confirmation happen at Production order level but Good received only QTY but no value update.
5)Production order will be settled on sales order.Settlement profile of production order type must contain COST ELEMENT tick under settlement.
6)now my sales order contain actual cost of production.
7)No accounting document will be generated at PGI.
8)only accounting document will be generated at Billing.
9)Only COPA Document will be generated at Sales order settlement. I am going to create PA transfer structure in order to post COGM cost component wise.
Mi missing something?
Question
1) Whether all steps are correct
2) There will be no standard cost release and no variance calculation as well.
3)How can i use RA under non valuated sales order stock?.
4)HOw can i use customer stock under sales order bom with non valuated value?
5)How i will do Production order GR Only qty update?
regards
RK

Hi Raman
All steps are correct.. You seem to be an expert now!
THere wil be no Std cost release or variance calc
You can set up RA based on costs or Revenue... 1st of all check with your client whether they would like to have any WIP in this case
you can receive the customer supplied pipe using 501E movement as Non val
GR - Only Qty Update is controlled by Req Class... You need to leave Valuation field BLanlk in Req CLass and choose Acct Assn Catg E

Sales Order stock on Contract

Dear Experts,
I have a question.
We have a requirement to hold inventory as Sales Order stock wherein the stock would be recieved onto a Contract (using a PO). Later on, this is followed by creation of Call off Sales Orders against the above Contract as periodically requested by the Customer. Before Delivering such SOs, we are planning to transfer the requisite stock/quantity from the parent Contract to the SO using transfer posting MB1B.
I was wondering if there is a way to Configure an automatic transfer of inventory from the Contract to the new SO being created instead of we doing it manually using MB1B.
Warm Regards,
Roopesh

Hi Mario,
Thanks a lot for responding. I am not familiar with WBS. I was wondering if WBS needs SAP PS. By the way, we do not use SAP PS.

Stock trsp of normal stock to sales order stock

Dear colleagues,
I have been working with stock transport of sales order stock before and it worked - I have no issues with it. But this time my client needs to transport normal stock in one plant to sales order stock in another plant. FYI, this is a cross-company STO, i.e. item category "standard" in the PO.
I thought it was the requirements class in the "Transfer of requirements" function that controled which stock my STO was going to consume, but I am unsure now. I checked the requirement class that SAP assigned to my STO delivery of sales order stock (the one that works - SO stock to SO stock) and it is 041, i.e. the very standard reqmt class that has nothing to do with sales order stock! So how does SAP determines it is the sales order stock that I want to transport?
The IMG notes for the setting "Determination Of Requirement Types Using Transaction" imply that there can be special rules implied for special stocks:
Example
There are business transactions, such as consignment stock processing, in which the material with its planning characteristics is not important, rather the transaction itself. An issue from the customer's consignment stock should not trigger an availability check against planning at the plant as layed down by the planning strategy but rather against special stock.
How does it work for special stock then?
TIA for any hints!
Raf
Edited by: Rafael Zaragatzky on Feb 23, 2011 8:31 AM

Thank you, Joshua.
Yes, it works with M - SO stock is moved from plant to plant. But we need to move normal stock in the source plant to SO stock in the destination plant. Therefore I wonder what is it that tells SAP to do GI from sales order stock. Is it just that the AA category defines the sp. stock indicator both for the issuing plant and the receiving plant? In such case, we are stuck.
But the comment in the IMG documentation that I cited first implies that there might be other thing that controls the special stock on the delivering plant side.

How to do Goods Issue from Sales Order Stock?

Dear All,
we are doing a trading Scenario & based on customer requirement we procure the goods from our vendor & we receive it to Sales Order(special) Stock. Now what are the settings to be done in the Sales/Shipping so that when we do a delivery for our customer the Stock is Issued from our Un-res Sales Order Stock & not from un-res stock ?
Hope its clear.
Regards,

Hi Sam,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
Sorry for not explaining the scenario in the begining.
See I have to configure a trading Scenario with some changes from the std.
As in trading Process there are 3 entities.
1. Customer - X
2. Company - Y (Who performs trading)
3. Vendor - Z
Following is the breif requirment.
Company Y generated an inquiry in system for an item with respect to customers RFQ. Now since Y doesnt manufacture the product(item) it creates a PR in background with respect to inquiry.
Based on this PR, Y procures & receives the good into Un-restricted Sales Order Stock (with ref Inquiry doc no:).
Now based on price Quoted by Z, Y will create a Quotation with ref to inquiry & finally a SO for Customer - X with ref to the Quotation.
Now at the time of delivery (creatd with ref SO) system is not able to issue the goods from the sales order stock since the stock is stored with ref to inquiry no: & delivery is with ref to SO.
So I am planning to simulate a cycle by creating a delivery & PGI with ref to Inquiry.
If you can suggest a way out, it will be highly appreciable.
Hope its clear.
Regards,

Issue regarding transfer of sales order stock to another location

Scenario:
Sales order stock to be transported to the port(secong plant) from manufacturing unit (plant 1) and to be delivered to the customer from port (second plant ). whereas the sales order is raised at manufacturing unit (plant 1).
Steps followed:
Step 1 : Customer gives the sales order at Plant (1)
Step 2 : STO is done from Plant (2)
Step 3 : VL10B with reference to STO is done
Step 4 : VL02N is done with reference to outbound delivery
Step 5 : GRN at Plant (2) with reference to outboubd delivery
Step 6 : Delivery to the customer
In this scenario, the sales order stock is not picked whereas the unrestricted stock is being picked. we are doing MIGO to send the sales order stock to unrestricted stock and then picking this stock.
whereas the client wants sales order stock to be picked directly without using movement type 411 E, as this is a daily process.
can you suggest any solution / movement type that picks the sales order stock directly and also gives the delivery document ( as we tried doing with movement type 301, we are not getting any delivery documents).
Thanks in advance
Prasad
