Delivery date should be confirmed in third party process

Dear Experts,
I have one doubt in third party process i.e., while creating sales order how can we confirm the delivery date because here vendor deliver the goods to customer but if customer is asking for delivery on a particular date then how can we assure him the delivery date is there any tracking in standard or how to solve this requirement.

Dear Venkatesh
In the third party Process, the Vendor will deliver the goods. That is correct. so as per my experience the delivery dates will get copied to Sales order ----- PR ----then PO. Then the vendor will also deliver the goods on the date which is mentioned copied into PO only.
Also refer to the below link to gain complete knowledge to clear your doubt.

Confirmed delivery date should be on Monday

Hi All.
I have a requirement wherein, for a customer the confirmed delivery date should be on monday only.
We are using APO for GATP.
Can anyone please guide how to go about this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1. For this you need to maintain the Customer Calendar...
IMG --> SD --> Master data --> Business Partner --> Customer --> Shipping --> Define Customer Calendars....
Here create a calendar with working day as only on Monday and other days as holiday.
2. Assign this calendar in the Customer Master --> General data --> Unloading Points....
create atleast one unloading point and assign the newly created calendar... you can also set this unloading point as default one...
Now the confirmed delivery date will be only on monday... if the confirmed qty is available on tuesday then it will be confirmed to the customer on next monday....
Hope this solves your issue.

Req. delivery date and Delivery date should be same in a sales order

Hi experts,
We need a customization for getting Requested delivery date, Material Availability date and Delivery date should be same.
Example if I keep request delivery date as 12/12/2012, system should consider same dates for MAD and Delivery and confirm the requested quantity.
How to achieve this customization..
Thanks,
Bala.

system should consider same dates for MAD and Delivery and confirm the requested quantity
What you are going to achieve by this? Hope you know the concept of MAD and confirmed quantity fields. Let us assume, if stock is not there for a material for which sale order is created, can you let me know, you want the system still to confirm the quantity? You can post the goods issue only if system confirms the quantity in schedule line which is possible, only if stock is made available. If client asks something which is not possible in SAP, think in a logical way how SAP works and convince them accordingly.

Delivery address in Third party process.

Dear All,
I have one query in third party process.
Created third part sales order,where PR is generated automatically.Based on PR (purchase requisation) created Purchase order.
When I select item category S-Third party,system will pick the delivery address from the sales order.
But when I change the item category to L-Subcontracting the delivery address is not picking from sales order.It is taking the delivery address of the plant. I need system to pick delivery address from the sales order.
Please let me know if I need to do any customisation for the above process.
Thanks in advance,
Awaiting for your early reply.

Hi,
In standrad application it is not possible. however, there is a user exit here, EXIT_SAPLMMDA_001, in which you can implement your own logic to select the address.

STO delivery date should not be in weekend.

Hi expert,
i just want to make sure the STO delivery date should skip weekend or give a warning message in case it is calcuated based on planned delivery time to be the weekend. Now I know that the calendar in receiving plant configuration can reach this request. but what i concern is, if i change this config, the impact is too big. Does any one have better idea?
also, it looks like that the calendar in unloading point in ship-to master data doesn't work for this.
Thanks!

Dear Srinivas,
Change the check as follows from
Check: BKPF-BUDAT>SYST-DATUM
to
BKPF-BUDAT <= BKPF-CPUDT
add BSEG-KOART = 'K' in prerequisite

Delivery date should fall on every monday for a PR created by MRP

Hi Gurus,
A PR is created by MRP. I need to have delivery date of the PR on every monday. Please let me know , what settings has to be done...
Regards,
Vibin

Friends Thanks for your reply.
Here is the answer
1. Set the planning calendar as the period stats with Monday.
2. Set the weekly lot sizing procedure in such way that the scheduling field as 1 = requirement date = delivery date.
3. Assign these settings in the MRP view of material master.
If you run the MD02 then your requirement date will only falls on Monday.
But since our requirement is delivery date should fall on Monday.
4. So the GR processing time should be zero in the MRP 2 view of material master.
Because the delivery date calculated as follows
Delivery date = Requirement date - GR processing time.
By this way the delivery date also falls on the same day (Monday ) as the Requirement date.
Again thanks for your answers and expecting the comments on the same.

Vibin

Hi
Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - 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:
Method 1) 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.
The other method 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 acknowledgement 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.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always followwing a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procument type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurment ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to confugure the item category determination
ord type + item cat grp + usge + Hiv level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM +      +       = TAN . + TAS
OR + BANS +       +       = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevnat for billing indicator as F
step 4)
The schedule line cateogry for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requision order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requiesion.

Credit Check with Third Party Process

Hi Gurz,
I know about third party process but my problem is with credit check of the customers.
If customer has not got enough credit limit to process the order in normal senario credit controller has to manually release the order as system blocks it. In third party process system will give you warning message when saving sales order about customer credit limit but allows you to save sales order. Once saving sales order it authomatically creates Purchase Requisition. From PR purchasing creates P.O. with out knowing about customer credit limit issue. and so on. In other words goods supplied to customer even though credit limit has exceeded. This user don't know untill raising the invoice to the customer which is too late.
Can we stop creating Purchase requisition or block purchase requistion for credit check ? or there are better way of handling the process for credit check?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Try to implement OSS note -738171 - Delivery block does not influence purchase requisition.
Following is the details of the note;
Summary
Symptom
The delivery block in a sales order does not prevent the generattion of the purchase requisition in a third-party or individual purchase order item. Regardless of the Customizing settings in the delivery block, the system confirms the TAB or TAS item and generates the purchase requisition.
More Terms
Order, purchase requisition, PReq, TAB, individual purchase order, individual purchase order item, TAS, third-party, third-party item, SD order, delivery block, VBAK-LIFSK, VBEP-LIFSP
Cause and Prerequisites
Solution
Create a user-specific user requirement (for example, 902: BEDINGUNG_PRUEFEN_902 in Include LV07A902) as a copy of standard user requirement 102 and assign it to requirement 'Preq' by using Transaction OVB5.
In the source code of the user-requirement, program a check for the delivery block which, if necessary, triggers an ERROR_EXCEPTION which prevents the generation of the purchase requisition.
You can use the existing check for the credit block as a template.

Thank you,

Hi
In third party scenario the material is delivered to your customer thro out side vendor
You are billing your customer
Vendor is billing you for the material he has delivered to your customer
Here we dont make any delivery
Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales
Customize the third party sales in summary:
1. Create Vendor XK01
2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue
9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the configuration and,   therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.
