Drop Ship processing for Sales BOM

Hi,
We have a requirement to have a Sales BOM drop shipped from a Vendor. Only the header material is relevant for pricing and purchase order. However, we have a business requirement to explode the sales BOM in the sales document and billing document to address statistical pricing requirements at the component level.
Since only the header material is required in the PO, it has a billing relevance of 'F'. However, we have set the components to be relevant for order related billing. Standard SAP opens up the components for billing even though a vendor invoice for the header has not been received.
Can copy control be used to control the components from being billed unless the header is billed AND the quantity of component materials modified based on the header material being invoiced ? Is it possible to only explode the sales BOM in the billing document using a billing document exit ?
Would appreciate suggestions from the forum.
Regards

Hi
The billing document creation can be controlled through the copying requirement in Copy Control of Billing documents.
Transaction VOFM | Billing documents: Create a new requirement which prevents billing unless the parent item has the vendor invoice receipt.
This requirement has to be then assigned to the respective billing and sales document type in copy control.

Vinu

  • Cost Carrying Over in Drop Ship Processing

    Hello Experts...
    When doing a drop ship sales order, this is the following situation.  Item A has cost at Warehouse 01 (stock warehouse) of $400 and cost at Warehouse 03 (drop ship warehouse) of $425. 
    When doing a drop ship sales order, the correct cost of $400 from WH 1 is displayed initially until the WH is changed to WH 3, then it displays WH3 cost of $425.  However, when the Purchase Order Confirmation Screen is displayed, the cost reverts back to $400.  We have done a test 15 times in the Demo SAP B1 and even more information is not passed on using the "Copy To" function (for example, the Delivery does not pick up any costs - it is blank when processing a drop ship).
    Of course it could be changed at the Purchase Order Confirmation Screen, BUT a real simple statement comes up of why does a Sales Person have to change it when the cost is in the system and is displaying correctly on the Sales Order.  From a common sense perspective of financial matters and productivity, it takes the statement even further - why even put a cost on the Drop Ship Warehouse when the system does not pick it up.  It gets even worse when the Gross Profit comes out to being 100%.  The whole drop ship process seems to be a mystery in the SAP Documentation.
    QUESTION: Is there some setting that needs to be changed so that the correct drop ship cost is carried throughout the system automatically and all of this wasted time is cut out?
    The user guide published on Februrary 2009 covering this topic does not say anything about COMPLETE drop ship processing and cuts off at the display of the Purchase Order Confirmation Screen on page 6.
    Thanks - Zal

    Hello Julie - thanks for your reply...version is 2007 SP01 PL05...
    Maybe the problem with the cost being carried over with "Copy To" was corrected in PL07?  Will go to the release notes...
    This is getting to be a comedy - again, I am using and testing this function on SAP's provided "vanilla" Demo database with no changes, so if SAP cannot set up drop ship functioning properly on their own Demo, who can???
    OK - yes, the cost of the product is pulled from the associated vendor which is problem number one - for companies that sell both inventoried and drop ship items on a regular basis, the cost of that product is never the same.  For vendors, onsies and twosies being shipped to our customers incurs a higher expense than a shipment to one site of 100 or 200 items and they will quote a different cost to cover those expenses.  It just makes common sense that the vendor's incurred expenses to fill the drop ship versus shipment to our waregouse is going to be different, doesn't it?  Therefore the actual cost and dollars paid for the product will be different from WH01 over WH03 (or any other area - Base Price versus Discount Purchase Price), and the gross profit is going to be different between the two versions of a sales process.  Creating a thousand different price lists certainly is not the answer!
    And this begs a very simple question then - why even put in an item cost on the Item Inventory Tab for the drop ship warehouse AND why does the system pull the WH 03 dollar amount into the Sales Quotation/Order Gross Profit Base Price field but not transfer it to the Purchase Order?  Why create a constant flood of erroneous Gross Profit information on drop ship AR invoices unless you are happy to have wasted productivity?
    I think the real problem is that this is obviously a very bad design for an SAP B1 function and folks are doing all of these workarounds and extra steps (at least in PL05 so far) to get their work done.  I think it is hilarious that when trying to enter a ticket directly to SAP on this, I got the reply that "that is the way the system is designed" (albeit bad design and no effort to direct me to documentation) and had to post my question here according to new SAP B1 support standards.
    I am going to close this question as there really is not an answer except "way the system is designed" and this thread is leading nowhere.
    Many thanks to everyone who took the time to reply - lol - of course, thanks with points!!!
    Take care all - Zal

  • Post order processing for sales document is not yet complete

    hi,
    sap gurus,
    i am facing the error while saving the sales order and this ticket is unique and it is saying that
    "post order processing for sales document is not yet complete".
    please help me in this regard.
    and it is blocking the order for further processing.
    regards,
    balajit

    I dont think this is a standard error message.  Some exit is applied for sale order to meet some requirements.  You need to check with your ABAPer.
    In fact, you can conclude yourself based on the error message number.  If it starts with Z, then the above holds good.
    thanks

  • Down Payment processing for Sales orders using Milestone Billing Plan

    Hi,
    The business scenario is as follows.
    The delivery for the sales orders are to be created only after the pre payment( a percentage of the total sales order value) is made by the customer.
    Hence the sales orders while creation are blocked for delivery creation using credit block by means of a userexit.
    The credit manager checks the blocked sales orders using VKM1 transaction and verify if there are any payments made by the customer to cover this pre payment to be made.
    If it is enough to cover then he releases the sales order manually for delivery creation.This is a complex process since there are too many sales orders and the payments made by the customer may not match the amount to be paid(it can be greater or lesser).The customer just pays a huge amount which is to be distributed among the sales orders for pre payments.
    Later, when the invoice is created, the customer account is cleared manually using F-32 transaction for the oldest open invoices.
    Here again there is a huge manual effort involved since he need to distribute the amount against the invoices using oldest open item principle.
    As a solution we are planning to implement "Down Payment processing for Sales orders using Milestone Billing Plan".
    Is this the right solution?
    Can you please give the steps in detail to implement this functionality for above scenario?
    We are using SAP 4.7 version without Project Systems.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Intrastat report in drop-ship process

    Hi,
    I have drop-ship scenario where plant country belongs to France ( FR) but actual shipment happens from Taiwan(TW).
    Butin the sale order we use plant as France(FR) and shipping point as Taiwan(TW).Since these are drop ships dispatched from non EU countries i.e in my case Taiwan(TW), the intrastat report ignores it. i.e on the invoice document in the "Trade/Custom" tab both "Country of origin" and "Dispatch country" will show as France and the same is picked in Intrastat reporting.
    But this is wrong since actual shipment has been done from Taiwan country . Therefore how can we change this to Taiwan i.e correct country.  One way is change in the user exit of billing.
    but is there any other way, i mean process wise ?. If we do third order sales process would this resolve problem. if so how can this be achieved.
    What i have noticed is even in third party sales process it has the same problem.
    Thankyou in advance

    Thankyou for your reply.
    even if i use Foreign Trade concept , but my plant in sales order is "France" and shipping point as "Taiwan", then the problem is instrastat will ignore Taiwan as a departure country  , it shows only France as departure country , but it should be Taiwan. Therefore how can we resove this problem.
    I dont want to change dispatch country as "Taiwan" using user-exit  in invoice-> "customs/Trade" tab , because if i change this field then instrastat report will pick-up . But withoug user-exit how can we change via config or process wise.
    Thanks in advance

  • Drop ship process

    Hi All
    Can any one explain what is drop ship in Sales and Distribution, used mostly in US.
    venkat c

    Hi,
    Probably you are referring to the review of Open sales orders for drop ship scenario and close them out if they are long pending. There is no point in supplying materials for an order received few months back, because even the customer may not want it anymore.
    There is nothing specific in SAP for this activity that you have mentioned.
    Will this help?
    Thanks,

  • Schedule Lines for Sales BoM Material

    Hi All,
    When i trying to maintain the multiples schedule lines for the Sales BoM Material(Both Header and Item), system is not allowing to maintain it.Please guide me how to achieve this?

    Hi,
    "Schedule Line allowed" is enabled at Item category. The Requirement is If we have multiple schedule lines for BoM Line Item, we are not able to maintain. Suppose the Order Quantity is 50 Units and we need schedule line of 10 Quantity each month. We are not able to maintain. System takes the complete 50 quantity and do the availability check and proposes the availablity Date. We are not able to maintain different schedules manually.

  • How to Create Specific SAP Query for Sales BOM

    Dear All Salute !!
    How I can create a SAP Query which provide information from the Sales Order-Line Item, this specific material is having any BOM or not?
    Suppose, user want Input,
    Sales Order No., Product Category, Duration of Sales Order Release.
    want Output,
    Sales Order No., Customer No., Customer Description, Sales Order Line Item, Material No., Material Description, Delivery Date, Quantity, Sales Order release Date
    Users requirement is, List of All Line Items for which BOM is yet to be Uploaded in the System.
    Please provide complete detail with Table & field by using SAP Query.

    If I am correct, in table KDST, you can see the details of Sales BOM with sale order.  Since right now, I dont have access to SAP, I am unable to confirm this.  You have to consider this table and develop on your own logic with the help of ABAPer.

  • ATP check for Sales BOM

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a requirement to check ATP in APO (GATP) when Sales BOM (order BOM) is used. I am looking for some inputs on how to setup this scenario and how to explode Sales bom.
    I know sales bom creates sub items in sales order and Rule based-ATP cannot be used for sub items. Is there a possibility not explode BOM until ATP is completed for header item?  That is, how to control explosion of BOM in sales order.
    Can you someone please reply to this. It is urgent issue.. Appreciate your inputs.
    Thanks,

    Hi Harsha,
    we can fullfill this requirment by using Material determination
    In Material determination Record
    normally we are maintaining for A give B instead of putting like this maintain record like this For A give A after that in additional data maintain more material like B,C etc..
    And maintain availability check for every material...
    then u r problem will solve..
    in this item category determination is
    OR NORM PREL        TAX     CX
    OR NORM PSHP TAX TAPS  PP
    like this u need to maintain determination then u will get..
    i hope ur problem will solve...PLZ Reward

  • Sales order for sales BOM item

    Hi,
    We are facing a problem in 2007B
    While creating sales order for a item which has sales BOM and excise able and the component of sales BOM item are also excise able, system is not saving the sales order.We have to go into the component item master to make those items non-excise able to save the Sale order. Is there any way to save the sales order without changing the component item master?
    With warm regards
    Atanu Chatterjee

    Hi Atanu,
    You can create  the sales order with sale BOM where components are excisable & the warehouse for the components are also excisable.
    Change the warehouse in sales BOM for components.

  • Archiving Process for Sales Order

    Hi,
    We have this new client. Archiving was previously working & has suddenly stopped. Logs are also unavailable as they have been erased.
    We just have a list of Batch Jobs which contain the following Programs.
    1. RSARDISP - The Scheduling Job
    2. S3VBAKWRS - Archiving Program (Input or output error in archive file /oracle/STP/ixos/exchange/RSD04210.220142.BATCHBA)
    3. RSARCH_STORE_FILE
    We need to run these batch jobs, in order to find out where the error is occurring.
    We can see the old already archived documents, by ckicking on Enviorment -> Display Originals on VA02 screen
    Questions:
    1 What is the sequence in which we need to run these programs?
    2.Is this the entire list of steps in order to enable archiving for Sales Orders
    3.I am not sure if SARA is being used to schedule, or is it just these Batch Jobs with the programs. How can I know the exact process that was employed previously
    Any assistance is Appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi
    If you don't have any documentation, I suppose that you are using the object SD_VBAK, and your client is using SARA. Check these points:
    - The settings for the auth.objects are in tcode AOBJ. See the reports for preprocessing, archiving and deletion. You must mantain selection variants to call them with SARA.
    - See mantain networks graphic. You must archive and delete all documents in the flow before to archive SO.
    - See the settings in tcode VORA (customizing tcodes) where you do the settings for residence time (Number of days which must elapse in order to archive the sales document).
    I hope this helps you
