Diff. between Inter Co STO & Inter Co Sales

Hi Friends,
Please guide me the Difference between Inter Company STO and Inter Company Sales Processing.
My client have two company codes.
INDIA: Company Code :1000 ; Plant: 1100(Supplying)
UK : Company Code: 2000 ; Plant: 2200(Ordering)
Always India Plant Supplies to UK Plant and Sometimes India Plant Supplies Directly to EndCustomer of UK Plant.
Whether it is Inter Co STO or Inter Co Sales or Both?
Please help me..
with regards

Hi
Yes in both places you have to do it
In both the places the entries has to be there
First in enterprise structure
The sales org of UK and Dist channel of UK has to be assigned to indian plant
Again Under billing also assign organizational units by plants you have to do the same thing
May be if you do it in Enterprise structurethe values may be automatically updated in the second place
You have to check and see
Values might flow down
But if you do it only under billing the values will not flow upwards
But in both the places the entries are must
There is no need for any confusion sir
You are assigning the delivering plant india which is in different company code to sales org and dist channel which is in a different company code to inform the system about intercompany sales
Then only system senses that there is intercompany sales
This you are doing it to enable us to do intercompany sales
For intercompany STO this is not reqd
Those settings are entirely different

MTO(Diff between complex make to order and sales order based mass prod)

Hi
We are using MTO...Can anyone tell me what is the Diff between complex make to order and sales order based mass prod in finance perspective?

Hi,
In the case of complex make to order scenario, through MRP, the Project shall be assigned to the sales order. Then there will be milestone billling and all. In the case of mass production MTO, it is only creation of production order for each sales order item and each sales order item shall have sales order cost estimate.
Trust this helps much and do encourage our efforts!
Cheers!

Inter Co. Sales Vs. Inter Co. STO

D/ Friends,
Is there any difference between Inter Co. Sales process & Inter Co. STO? What can be the scenarios for these 2 processes?
And what is the doc flow in these 2 scenrios?
Thanks & rgds.

in intercompany sales is that you just create a sales order e.g. in an Asian company with a delivery plant that belongs to a different company in e.g. Germany.
the delivery is then made directly from Germany to your customer. Behind the scenes the German companies issues a bill to the asian company and the asian company bills the cusotmer.
A STO is used to fillup the stock in your plant and the delivery plant is either belonging to the same company or to a different company in your gorup STO is nothing else than a PO, the delivery plant just creates a delivery to the PO, no slaes order needed there, and if the delivering plant belongs to a different company, then it bills you, this is usually done via EDI setup and the bill is posted automatically a invoice in your company.

Inter-Company Sales v/s Inter-Company Stock Transfer v/s Third Party Sales

Hi, I understand the basic business processes between Inter-Company Sales, Inter-Company Stock Transfer and Third Party Sales.
The Inter-Company Sales is sales process between two companies having different company codes. A customer orders an item to Company A which can't be delivered by Company A, so Company A generates PO to Company B which supplies the item to Company A and finally Company A delivers it to Customer.
The Inter-Company Stock Transfer is stock transfer from one plant to another where the plants belong to two different company codes. Now all Inter-Company Sales process covers Inter-Company Stock Transfer process.
Third Party Sales process is process where a customer orders an item to Company A but Company A ca't deliver the item to the customer. So Company A generates a PO to Company B which in turn directly delivers the item to customer. After the goods receipt verification at customer end Company A pays to Company B.
Now looking at the these basic process steps I just want to know what is the basic difference between Inter-Company Sales and Inter-Company Stock Transfer ? Is this something that when there is a need to deliver an item to the customer and not available in that company, the Inter-Company Sales takes place but when there is no customer order but the companies want to maintain stock, the Inter-Company Stock Transfer takes place ? Please clarify based on my above understanding.

Hi
I will explain you with example
Say there are 2 org structures
Company code 1000 sales org 1000 and DC 10 and division is 00 and plant 1000
Company code 2000 sales org 2000 and DC 20 and division is 00 and plant 2000
Now A customer Say X lies in sales area 1000,10,00 and a sales order is created for a material ABCD for this customer X in sales area 1000,10,00
Now if the plant 2000 supplies this material ABCD for this order to the customer X in sales area 1000,10,00 then it is intercompany sales
IF the plant 2000 transfers the stock to plant 1000 ands (then if the plant 1000 supplies to this sales order for customer X) then it is intercompany STO
If the material is supplied from a external vendor directly to the customer X without involving your plants then it is third party sales
Now all Inter-Company Sales process covers Inter-Company Stock Transfer process
No not at all
Both are entirely different
Inter-Company Stock Transfer process doesnot involve Inter-Company sales
Similarly Inter-Company sales does not involve Inter-Company Stock Transfer process both are different
Third party means it is an external vendor not your other company code
All three are different
If a plant belonging to one company code directly makes a delivery for a customer to the sales order created in another company code then it is intercompany sales
the movement of stocks between plants of 2 different company codes is inter company STO

Inter company sale - Concepts

Hello friends
These are the intercompany questions need to be clear.Please help me to understand.
A) While doing Invoice IV - from delivering compamy code (ex 2000) to ordering comany code (ex 1000)
Under company code : 2000 , Plant -A and
under company code : 1000, Plant- B and sales org- us01.
I know customer presence should be there for inter comapny Invocie.
Now My questions are
1) how to create customer and who will be the customer - (plant -? under coppany code -1000)
2) from where the inter company Invoice is comming - from - (plant or sale org -? under company code -2000) and what is the link -? I mean how sytem will understand this -?
3)New pricing procedure involved for invoice IV -?
4)if there is intercopmpany sales , inter copmpany stock transfer whould also involve or not necissary -?
5) AND if I am misssing any important points in inter company sales please guide me.
I am not clear, please help me on this.
Thanks
Krish

1) how to create customer and who will be the customer - (plant -? under coppany code -1000)
Ordering sales organization has to be created as Internal customer, who will receive the IV invoice. from the supplying sales organization ( IV will be created wrt: Delivery , in which sales organization will be supplying plant's sales org)
2) from where the inter company Invoice is comming - from - (plant or sale org -? under company code -2000) and what is the link -? I mean how sytem will understand this -?
when you create invoice 2nd time wrt: to the delivery document, then system will check in delivery document, whether its relevant for IV or not. In delivery document header this status will be indicated. if IV relevant, it will check item category of the reference document & then it will check ref doc type details & finds the IV doc type, if necessary copy controls maintained between delivery & IV then data will be copied in IV invoice.
3)New pricing procedure involved for invoice IV -?
as in std, new pricing procedure will be determined.as there would be internal agreement may exist, to issue the invoice either on fixed amount or percentage basis. hence new pricing procedure with new cond types required.
4)if there is intercopmpany sales , inter copmpany stock transfer whould also involve or not necissary -?
it depends on client requirement, if the client who has transactions between company codes eg: exchange of goods, then Int.company STO has to be configure. if their agreement is to dispatch the goods to the customer whoz exist in diff comp code, then there will be only Int.comp sales.
5) AND if I am misssing any important points in inter company sales please guide me.
for more clarification & better understanding, go through SAP HELP. search in forum for the links.

Bussiness process of Inter company sales and why we suggest Inter company

Dear All SD Gurus,
I want to Know the business procees of inter company sales and why we suggest inter company sales to clint?.
Because in Third party sales also vendor delivers the goods to customer so why we need to go for Inter company.I want know the Major defferences between them.
Please Help
Regards
S Kumar

Dear Sandeep
1) Inter Company Transfer
We should not call the inter company transfer as sales. The proper way to account for these transfers is to treat them as consignment sales.
Why?
1) You do not recognize income until the stock is actually sold to the end user (ie retailer, wholesaler).
2) You minizime your taxable income.
2) Third Party Sales
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. A sales order may consist partly or wholly of third-party items. Occasionally, you may need to let a vendor deliver items you would normally deliver yourself.

What is the difference between Inter-org Transfer & ISO

Can anybody please share the difference between Inter-org Transfer & ISO?
e.g. Legal bounding, accounting entries, traceability, charging to demanding entity/organization...
Also please help me to understand when shall we use which option, and where we can not use which option...
e.g. Inter-org transfer can't be used when material in required in some different LE (Legal entity).

Internal Sales Order (ISO) is the same as the PO and SO creation process which occurs within the Company. It is a process used to request and transfer material from one inventory to another with the Same or Different Operating Unit. This is usually initiated in Oracle Purchasing which creates a Requisition and upon running the Create Internal Sales Order Concurrent program, the order is loaded into the Order Import Tables. The Order Import program is run in the Order Management of the Operating Unit in which the Orders needs to be Created. The Order is then booked and shipped and received in the destination organization. The invoicing activity depends on the company rules.
Inter Org Transfers are the material transfers within two Organizations that are under the same Operating Unit. There is no creation of the sales orders or anything but a regular material transfer from one org to another. The item needs to be defined in both the Organizations. This is usually done to maintain the inventory balances and there is no actual shipping process that is defined for this.

Inter-Company sales processing

Hi All,
I have carried out the Inter-Company sales processing and it is working fine upto the creation of Inter-Company billing. The Inter-Company billing and Accounting document have also got created. I have used both the output condition types RD00 for manual and RD04 for automatic posting.
Please let me know the process, which is need to be followed to complete the Inter-Company code sales processing once the intercompany billing/invoice is created....
When both the ouput condition types have been processed successfully, what is the next process???
In case of manual process, how/where the Ordering company code will take the Goods receipt and Invoice receipt? What basis/what the reference document, the ordering company code will use to process the above.
Hope I have conveyed my requirement.....
Please help me...
Regards,
Mani
In case of Automatic process, how/where to check whether the data has been processed in the ordering company code?

Dear Manivannan R
This is not Intercompany Scenario as defined by SAP, Intercompany scenario is different. In that if one company is not having stock then on behalf of one company , second company delivers the good to customer and second company gives IV invoice to first company, and actually first company sends invoice to customer
however your scenario can be done in following way
1. First Scenario when PNT2 supplies the goods to PNT1, COC2 is vendor for COC1 and COC1 is a customer for COC2, so define one customer and one vendor
2. second scenario, when PNT1 supplies the goods to PNT2, COC1 is a vendor for COC2 and COC2 is a customer for COC1, so define one customer and one vendor
Now you can use your existing sales order type and pricing procedure and treat this as normal sales
Or
you can define specific sales order type and pricing procedure if your existing sales order type and pricing procedure is not sufficient.

Availability check in inter company sales process

Hi,
I want know about
While creating the sales order in inter company sales process, i will select the plant of another company code. System should check the available quantity of that respective plant of another company code and should propose the available date.
Is it possible in SAP. Please guide me.
Thanks
Rajesh.

dear
the availability check is done according to the quantities available and the quantities that would flow in and flow out of the storage location of a particular plant ..
in the inter-company sales scenario when you change the plant in the sales order. the system checks for the availability .
If the availability is not checked for you can click on availability icon and get it checked.
item availability could be checked for and accordingly the delivery dates could be proposed.
you don't need any special customization for that..

Hi Markiv
Just to round that off, the ERP version lacks:

- Support for further e-Service processes

What is diff between delivery related sales order & billing related sales o

what is diff between delivery related sales order & billing related sales order ???

hi prasanth,
extending the Answer of shasikanth,
1) Order Related Billing:
some items are not related to delivery, like service items.
these items will be defined by different ITEM Categories.
2) Delivery Related billing:
standard item like TAN,which is delivery related billing.that means for this item we need to create a delivery documnet.with reference to delivery document we need to create a billing document.
when we define item category,
we miantain whether its order related or Delivery related billing.
The respective field in item category is......
Relavant for Billing A - delivery related billing
B - Order realted billing
by this we can say item category defines, whether item is relavent for billing or not and also it defines whether its a Order related or Delivery Related billing.
The Respective billing document type will be determined from Sales document type(vov8).

Requirement transfer in inter-company sales

Hi experts,
Pls help to look into the following problem.
The business senario is inter-company sales.
The requirement is that when the sales order is created, the Demand block is automatically applied on sales order and no requiement is transferred.
And afterwards, go to change the sales order to change the schedule, to fulfill the following demands:
1.Demand Block will be released.
2.Demand is transferred to PP.
3. ATP check is activated.
Pls kindly indicate what kindly of cfg needs to be made to make the business scenario fulfilled? Is there any special requirement for the customer and material?
Regards,
Nadali

Hi,
First of all configure your sales doc. type by copying the standard sales order and assigning a delivery block in the shipping tab of customization of sales doc. type.
for this you can go to SPRO-sales and distribution-sales-sales doc header-sales doc types.
select OR and copy it and configure your own sales doc type as per described above.
Before you remove the delivery block of the sales document type, ensure you have made a production order by t:code CO01.
provide the necessary details like material, quantity,etc
and release to production, so that an order can be made on its basis.
hope this would help.
regards,
Siddharth.
