Distribution channels-STO

Dear Friends,
1. What would be the Standard STO process from plant to plant? The requirement is that stock will be transferred from "X" plant to "Y" plant and sales is carried from "Y" plant.
2. How would be the process flow different to that of a Inter company STO?
3. Do we need to have separate Distribution channels from SD end for doing the STO?
The DChannels planned are Domestic, Export and Third party.
Regards,

Dear Vedha ,
Plant to Plant Stock transfer having 2 scenarios..1)STO between Plants with in the Company codes.
2)STO Between the Plants between 2 company codes.
Good Option is ...Lot of Threads in this Forum.Search as Intra company code stock transfer/Inter company Billing.
Mostly you may not require any separate Distribution channel for this requirement.
you will get the Solution.
Regards
raj.

Distribution Channel and Division in STO

Hi All,
We are have a STO senario.We are also using the common distribution channel and common division.However when we create an Invoice with the delivery created the system is picking up the common division not the material division. In delivery also in the line item of the in delivery shows 00( cross division) and not the division of the material from the material master.
We have configure the Shipping data for plant with common division and common distribution channel.
We want the system should pick the material division compared to common division.
Kindly guide us on the issue.

Rajev

We also search the forum and found one thread
Material division in Intercompany STO Invoice
But is not helpful for us.

Distribution channel for STO

hi
is it require to having seperate distribution channel for only Stock transfers b/w Plants. ? ( genaral thumb rule is having minimum organizational units is suggestable na?)
rajen

Hi,
Initially client may say we need less organisational units but at the end they may need so many reports and then its difficult provide them same to client.Its better you can have extra distibution channel for stock transport order in company code level not in plant level, so that you can drill down report( as many as possible).
If helpful then rewards.

Which table contain the sales org/distribution channel details for an PO

Hi Experts,
Do you know from which table could i get the sales org/distribution channel details for an Purchase order.
The Purchase order is an UB document type. STO
Then there will be delivery order created for this STO.
I heard there are 2 kinds of Sales org/distribution channel in one Purchase order? One is Vendor, another is local...?Is this correct understanding?
Please let me know which table field could i find those info from an Purchase order document?
Or the questions could be:
Assumed we have replenishment delivery#, then how to get corresponding Purchase order#(UB, STO), and further how to get the sales org info?
Please kindly advise from table fields points of view...
How to get the PFrom an replenishment delivery#
Thanks.

Dear Hoo Laa,
You may find the Sales Organisation/Distribution Channel details in PO itself (Shipping Tab). Table where you can get Sales Organisation/Disribution Channel is EKPV.

Scenario regarding Sales Organization, distribution channel

Dear Experts,
I am doing
1. Simple Domestic sales from manufacturing plant
2. Depot Sales: In which, Stock transfer between two plants i.e. from Manufacturing Plant to Depot and sales from depot
3. Exports: Sales to other country.
Now, my confusion is, whether i can use a single sales organization and three distribution channel for all these three scenarios or do i have to create three different sales organizations along with three distribution channels and do the processes?
My anather question is, if i want to do depot sales, then it is possible to have one manufacturing plant and two storage locations at different places. i.e. issuing storage locatin and receiving storage location.
Is it possible to sell goods from receiving storage location to end customer?
What will be simple organizational structure i can make to acheive these things?
I would be very helpful if you can give me your expert inputs on the scenario. I am trying to make the simple organization structure with less complications for my client.
Thank you
Amit

Hi
As suggested the best choice will be to go ahead with one sales organization for all these scenario. Since in domestic sale / export sale the only difference will be the Pricing configuration and that can be easily mapped using the either a distribution channel / or a customer pricing procedure.
Now when it comes to handling the sales scenario - there is a option to go ahead with two or even three distribution channel.
1. Domestic Sale (Can handle Both Depot sale and Manufacturing same- seperate dist.channel will help to pick right pricing procedure
2. Export Sale - This distribution channel will help you to pickup export pricing procedure (Also if not then you can have customer pricing procedure to pick the export pricing )
3. Stock Transfer (Can be done through domestic sale also)- I hope a seperate pricing procedure will be created for STO. So from the reporting purpose a seperate dist.channel can help you to have more clarity to the user - Again will help you to pick a different pricing procedure (A seperate Cust.pr.Pro can also be used to pick a different pricing procedure)
4. If you are using DEPOT sale with Excisable mean you need to maintain RG23D register. Also you need to generate Excise Invoice, challan . If you use transfer process of storage location to storage locationthen there are concerns as how you will generate challan and Invoice. OR if it is a DEPOT to DEPOT Transfer then also you need supporting document. please do check as whether you need the required output or not.
So Depot need to be maintained a PLANT in SAP with a check box as saying Excisable and relevant for RG23D. and a Normal Sales process will follow. Reporting can be done of PLANT as a primary key.
Distribution channel will be a simpler way of Differentiation - and for reporting purpose.
Thanks

Stock transfer distribution channel

Hi
In stock transfer process is it required to maintain a stock transfer distribution and division since it's between two plant and if so is it required to maintain a account group as my plant where it'll be possibile to maintain the plant as a customer and vendor
Vinz

It all depends on the Client requirements that if they want to track the STO Sales through Distribution Channel,then it would be better to have a different Distribution Channel as 'ST'.
Now in IMG > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Stock Transport Order > Define Shipping Data for Plants .Here define the Plant in the Sales Area with the Customer Number which you will create in Customer Master.
Its better to have a different Account Group for STO Customers as they would have the different Number Range , Text , Output Determination Procedure & Screen Settings

Distribution Channel Vs Sales Document Type

Dear All,
I have a confusion over my configuration process. My customer has the following types of customers:
1) Distributors, 2)C&F, 3)Institutional Sales, 4)Modern Sales, 5)Employee Sales, 6)Scrap Sales, 7)Sale of raw materials and 8)Exports.
Now I have an option of either creating 8 distribution channels and maintain one Sales document type or I can define one Distribution channel and define 8 sales document types.
My requirement can be achieved by both means but I wish to know which would be a better approach. Whether creating multiple Distribution channels or creating multiple sales document types. Can you please suggest me a better method among the two with advantages and disadvantages if possible?
As far as pricing condition records are concerned, I anyways have to maintain in the key combination either sales document type or distribution channel. So i am a little confused over which is a better approach

In normal cases, we would be having different sales areas for the following
1) Domestic
2) Exports
3) STO
4) Institutional
In fact, some clients would like to have Domestic OE and Domestic Retail since predominently, they cater to these segments and would like to have reports based on these. In my earlier project, they had gone for even Exports OE and Exports Retail due to the fact that their major sales is exports.
In your case, first decide whether to go for a seperate sales area or sale order type depending upon the volume of business the client would do. If the sale is going to happen only occasionally in any of the above, then have one sales area called miscellaneous sales.
As for as possible, have the document types to the minimal for better performance.

Show different distribution channels in one line

Hello everybody,
I have the following reporting problem: My customer wants to see an an attribute to 0Mat_sales summarized in one line despite the different distribution channels. With other words there is one material where two different distribution channels have the same value in this attribute. Any chance to show this in one line summarized in the query?
Thx in advance,

How to block certain Distribution Channel / Billing type combination?

Hello,
Is there a possibility to prevent creating biling document if it contains certain combination of Distribution channel in document header and billing type (i.e. F2 / 20)?. Some user exit?
Thanx.

Few options are there
1) Try with billing user exit USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP (Module pool SAPLV60A, program RV60AFZC)
2) Have a separate billing type for the distribution channel which you dont want to generate billing where you can have a different doc pricing procedure. Dont assign this document pricing procedure in OVKK
3) If you go for separate billing type, you can also avoid maintaining copy control in VTFL
4) Apart from all the above options, you can also add this logic in your existing routine such that if the combination of particular distribution channel and F2 comes, it should not be generated / saved.
thanks

Creation of new distribution Channel

Can anyone give me a step by step process of creatinf a new distribution channel & assignment of the same.
Sumit Gulati

1. SPRO --> IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Definition --> Sales and Distribution --> Define, copy, delete, check distribution channel
It is recommended to copy (copy as ) from existing Distribution Channel.
2. SPRO --> IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Assignment --> Sales and Distribution --> Assign distribution channel to sales organization
3. SPRO --> IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Assignment --> Sales and Distribution --> Set up sales area
4. SPRO --> IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Assignment --> Sales and Distribution --> Assign sales organization - distribution channel - plant
The above are settings for Distribution Channel at Enterprise Structure Level

SD: Change distribution channel in sales order.

Hello,
I have a situation where my end users has mistakenly entered a foreign distribution channel for a domestic sales order. The order have been saved and the goods issue posted. Is there a way to change the distribution channel at this stage?
Thank you in advance,
Anisah

No, it is not possible to change it now. Best option will be to cancel the delivery and sales order if this order is big one because if you have sales/management reporting based on distribution channel then it will be shown uder foreign channel rather than domestic.
If order is small and goods have already left the factory then you can leave this as it is and may be you don't want go through all the pains.

How to copy the Pricing conditions from one Distribution Channel to another

Generally we use VK11 transaction to create conditional records .
but I Need to Know whether is it Possible to copy the Pricing conditions from one Distribution Channel to another with same name and same internal Characteristics .
Since we have around 70+ of Condition type with different parameter Sequence.So Instead of Going for BDC whether is there any standard Funct Modules/programs/BAPIs to do this?
How to make a copy Condition types from One Distribution Channel to another.
since SAP has already provided to copy conditions from Customer to customer.
Likewise i need to know whether SAP is facilitating for these feature also.
Iam Dubious in this issue.
Hope Fully looking for the answers.
Harish.N

- IDOC_INPUT_COND_A (you can create IDOC, but also call directly)
- call transaction / batch input (use transaction XK15, as used by LSMW)
- use group of function modules RV_CONDITION_COPY, RV_CONDITION_SAVE, RV_CONDITION_RESET + commit.
if you search SDN on 'RV_CONDITION_COPY' you'll find more info I believe.
Someone mentioned BAPI_PRICE_CONDITIONS as well.
