External processing in the plant as vendor under same company code

Hi friends,
In our project under implementation we have following scenario.
we have 4 plants under one company code. one of the plant does powder coating as manufacturing activity. Other 3 plants sends components to the powder coating plant for coating purpose.
In IDES Standard scenario of external processing, a purchase requisition is raised thro info record maintained for the external operation. This scenarion works if the vendor is external.
In our case, the vendor is one of the other plant under same company code/client. Also the powder coating needs to be done without any profit margin for internal customers.
Our FICO guys have the opinion that, intra plant can't be a vendor; because raising invoices among plants under the same company codes is against accounting standars.
If anybody has faced this type of scenario nd found the solution, Please share it here.
Thanx in advance

Hi Shiva
STO scenario
You can not create only STO as you need to send the unpainted components to another plant through SAP & have them painted back with only payment of paining charges without margin.
Subcontracting scenario
You can not create the Subcontracting PO as this is not your external vendor.
Does this involves excise?
Then the PR/PO ctreated should be of combination of STO and subcontracting. If so this is not possible, as item category is the only field in PR/PO that identifies it as STO and subcontracting. obiviously it cann't have 2 values.
My suggesion on this as...
Create a BOM for painted component with sp procurement key as produced in another plant(paining plant). this will have STO cretaed for paining plant. This will inturn cretae a production order in painitng plant.
The BOM in painting plant will have the unpainted component with sp procurement key as produced in another plant ( fabricated plant) this will have STO created for unpainted components.
I hope I am clear & not confused you much.

Mahesh

Is it possible to differentiate one payroll area with different currency under same company code

Hi experts ,
MY client wants to pay in yemen currency for the employees who working in yemen, but it was comes under same company code created for india.we have differentiated yemen under different payroll area wise . so is it possible to differentiate one payroll area with different currency under same company code.
thnx,
vamshi keshavapatnam

Hi Vamshi,
I don't think so what you have done is correct. It seems like Global Employment functionality. As I understood you have some EEs which are Indian but working in company branch of Yeman.
If this is the case you should define a new company code for Yeman branch and use Global Employment functionality. By this you can make decision to pay in home currency or traget country currency.

Plant to plant stock transfer in same company code

Hi everyone,
I want to know the process for stock transfer between plant to plant in same company code.
Regards
Prabudh

http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/500/html/J51_IntProcSTwD_EN_IN.htm
In a company, goods movements do not only occur in the form of goods receipts and goods issues. Depending on the organization of the company (for example, decentralized storage) and its sales policy, internal stock transfers might also be necessary.
The stock transfer with delivery is a plant to plant scenario. You are posting a goods issue in plant BP02 and a goods receipt in plant BP01.
This type of stock transfer can only be carried out from unrestricted-use stock of the issuing plant to unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant.
You post the placement into storage at the receiving plant in a second step. Only then is the event completed and the transferred quantity part of unrestricted-use stock.
Function List
The following functions are provided to support the J51 building block:
Creating a Planned Independent Requirement
Creating a stock transport order in plant BP01
Generating a delivery in plant BP02
Picking of the material and posting the goods issue in the delivering plant
Posting the goods receipt in the receiving plant
Key Points
The quantity posted from stock is first of all managed as stock in transit of the receiving plant. Only once the goods receipt has been posted is the quantity posted to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant. This enables the quantity "on the road" to be monitored.
The transfer posting is valuated at the valuation price of the material in the issuing plant.
Delivery costs can be entered in the stock transport order.

After posted goods issue in outbound delivery I check plant stock for supplying plant I could see the stock in transfer of the amount issued.
Can anyone could explain How I could resolve this issue.

Vendor bank to company code

Dear Forum,
I check LFA1, LFBK, LFB1 to get the link of vendor bank to company code but could not get.
LFA1 no bank information whereas LFBK no company code.
Why there is no link? I need vendor bank which link to company code. I have same vendor in the same country with different bank key/account for different company code.
Thanks

You should use the field Partner Bank Type (LFBK-BVTYP) for restricting the usage of the bank account. But there is no standard rule for linking accounts to companies. So you should create your own validation and/or substitution on the field BSEG-BVTYP.
BVTYP is a 4 character code. You may put the company code in LFBK-BVTYP if the bank account is reserved to a company code. In a substitution, you program the following: if BSEG-BVTYP is empty, search for an entry in LFBK with LIFNR = BSEG-LIFNR and BVTYP = BKPF-BUKRS. If an entry is found, fill BSEG-BVTYP with BKPF-bukrs.

MM STO between Plants under the same company code

Hi experts,
Please guide on the configuration steps for doing STO between Plants unders the same company code.
We have company code 100 in that Plants A B & C are theie. Each Plant can do STO to other Plant.
How to configure this scenario?

Dear,
Please follow bellow path
1. Create a vendor for the Company code of the receiving plant using account group 0007 via T-Code XK01.
2. In the purchasing data view assign the supplying plant and the schema group
3. Create customer with the sales area of the vendor.
4. The shipping conditions, the delivering plant and the transportation zone determine the route in the STO.
5. In the pricing procedure determination relevant to the STO assign document pricing procedure and customer pricing procedure to get the pricing in the invoice.
6. Maintain condition records for pricing condition.
7. Maintain carrier as a partner in the customer master.
8. In OMGN select the supplying plant and assign the company code and sales area. Similarly select the receiving plant and assign the company code and sales area (The company code to which the plant is assigned to).
9. Assign the delivery type and checking rule to the document type.
10. And finally, assign the purchasing document type to the supplying plant and the receiving plant.
11. Create the STO using T-Code ME 21N and save.
12. Check for release strategy if any and release using T-Code ME 28.
13. Create delivery in background using VL10G.
14. If delivery is created, it is an indication of correct configuration and master data creation.
Stock transfer between two plants in different company codes is known as inter company stock transfer.
Material should be maintained in both supplying and receiving plant MM01
Stock should maintain only in supplying plant MB1C
Create receiving plant as a customer in supplying plants company code and sales area XD01
Assign this customer number in receiving plant details OMGN
Assign supplying sales area in supplying plant details OMGN
Assign delivery type NB for in combination of supplying/ receiving plants.
Create STO ME21N
As it is normal there in the item details we should get shipping date i.e. customer number
Go for Delivery VL10B
Shipping point *****
Select PO go for execute
then select the delivery then go for delvy ............create delvy,,,, delvy number generated.
Goods Issue VL02
Delvy doc **********
Click on picking
enter the picking qty
Click on PGI
in the mean time check in the PO history you will get the details
Goods receipt MIGO
Stock transfers that include deliveries and billing documents/invoices are only possible between plants belonging to different company codes.
If you want to carry out a cross-company-code stock transport order with delivery but without a billing document, you must set the Relevant for Billing (data element FKREL) indicator in Customizing of the item type to "blank" (Not relevant for billing).
The following applications are involved in this type of stock transfer:
? Purchasing (MM-PUR) in entering the order
? Shipping (LE-SHP) in making the delivery from the issuing plant
? Billing (SD-BIL) in creating the billing document for the delivery
? Inventory Management (MM-IM) at goods receipt in the receiving plant
Invoice Verification (MM-IV) at invoice receipt in the receiving
Transfer of goods from one location to another location, it may be between plants within the same company code or in different company code's plants.
within the company code, but plants,
receiving plant will raise the STO in Supplying/issuing plant-ME21n,
Supplying plant will deliver the goods to receiving plants ,
then we need to pick n post the Goods Issue-VL02n,
now when we can observe that the STO qty will be added into receiving plant and reduced in Delivering plant,
To do this, we need do prior customization in SPRO-IMG,-
material should be created in both plants( receiving & Supplying)
-maintain the stock only in supplying plant
-create a dummy customer in supplying plant's sales area(if u have one sales area, create in tat comp code n sales area)
-assign this customer number to receiving plant's details along with the sales area,
-Assign the STO doc type(UB) to Supplying plant, along with checking rule
-Assign the Del type (NL/NLCC) to Supplying n receiving plant.

Nikolai,
I have created a simple process flow which only calls the external process. The script is on the same host as the process flow is deployed to.
I have used two diffent values for the command parameter.
1. I placed the full path of the file in the command parameter and left the script parameter blank:
COMMAND: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
PARAMETER_LIST:

2.I placed the bash command in the command parameter and the full path in the script parameter.
COMMAND: /usr/bin/sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
Both of these appear to work as they print out the statements inside the script but the files that are supposed to be removed still remain.

Stock transfer between two plants under the same company code at profit

Hello,
Hello,
I have a scenarios. One plant is selling a part to other plant at a margin. Both plants belongs to the same legal entity.
How can I map this scenario in SAP?
What will be the cost of my part in these two plants?
What mechanism I would use to transfer the stock from supplying plant to the buying plant?
Your urgent reply is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi
To map this scenario, you should use Profit Centre Accounting.
Example
Matl XYZ is to be transferred from Plant 1000 to Plant 2000 at a profit.
Value of Matl XYZ in Plant 1000 is $100
Transfer Price: $120
From FI view point, there would not be any Accounting document as both Plants belong to the same Company Code.
From PCA view:
Plant 1000:
Internal Revenues Dr. 120
Stock                  Cr. 100
Profit Margin        Cr.    20
Plant 2000:
Stock                                 Dr. 120
Delivery from Profit Centre    Cr. 120
Effectively, the value of Matl XYZ in Plant 1000 remains at $100 and in Plant 2000, it is $120.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks

Automatic payment process for a vendor from different company code

Dear Friends,
We have a situation here to process automatic payment for a vendor which belongs to our subsidiary.
The scenario is explained below.
Our main company code A pays for a particular vendor (Eg. V1) from company code B.
When processing automatic payment for company code A, the vendor V1 from comapny code B need to be selected for payment and the DME file generated should include the payment for V1 aswell.
I know that we can set up a company code as paying company code for others but the situation here is only to process payment for one particular vendor (not all) from the other ccode.
I would appreciate your advise in this matter.
Regards,
AJ.

Dear all,
Our situation is when we run the payment run for company code A it should also select the vendor V1 from company code B because the payment for vendor V1 has to be paid from the house bank of Ccde A. Cocde B is in different country and uses different house bank.
Is there any way to make the house bank of ccde A to pay for the vendor V1?
Regards,
AJ.

Transfer Posting between plant to plant under 2 company codes

Hello all,
I have 2 company codes 9002 and 2850.
Under 9002 there is a plant 9002 with storage location WHSE.
Under 2850 there is a plant 3105 with storage location WHSE.
Whenever I am moving a material from plant 3105 to 9002, I am getting the following error in the system:
No accts maintained for company code clearing between comp.cds 9002 and 2850.
The system clearly requires a configuration to solve this error. But my doubt is, is there any other way by which I can solve this error without making any new configuration??? My client does not need any configuration but wants this error to be resolved. Is there any way???
Kindly advise.
Thanks and Regards,
Umakanth.

This is absolutely a SAP standard error which can be easily solved by FI guys.
Though I dont remember the transaction code now but it becomes necessary to maintain clearing accounts between two company codes for accounting consistency.
Please convince your client and get it done from FI guys. You will have to show your consulting skills here.
