GATP Allocation Check w/ 3rd Party Drop Ship or Make-to-Order

Experts,
For our stocked materials we currently do an allocation check in APO.  We now need to do the same allocation check in a MTO (TAB) or 3rd party drop ship (TAS) scenario.  However, we are not able to get the allocation check to get accross to APO.  We have made the settings to our SL cat. indicating that an allocation check should be performed but its not working.
Is there a setting which we should consider looking at?  Or, has SAP assumed that if one does MTO or 3rd party drop ship that supply is unlimited and there is no need to allocate to customers?

Hi,
As far as my understanding in third party drop shiment,there is no need of GATP,

  • Quality Inspection and COA for 3rd Party Drop Ship Vendor

    The scenario is as follows: We will be using a 3rd party vendor to fulfill certain materials directly to our customers. The vendor will be sending us a sample from each production run to run our own analysis  against the batch. I am wondering the best way to capture this data against the material and plant? Can we do it per run, capturing the data against a batch or do we have to capture the data per good receipt (in this case statistical)?

  • COPA - Third Party Drop Ship Returns - Vendor Discounts

    Hello -
    This is challenging so I hope some of you can help me please!
    Can anyone explain to me how vendor discounts work in copa as they relate to third party drop ship returns?  We use net vendor invoices where discount is taken at time of vendor posting and offset by clearing account.
    We have several scenarios where we cannot reconcile FI and COPA for COGS account because of the discount on the vendor credit memo.
    An example:
    We have created the sales order and purchase order for the process.  Then we do a migo and a miro from the vendor. 
    The vendor document has a discount of 1%, so if it costs $100, here is the accounting:
    MIGO -
    dr. cogs 100
    cr. gr/ir 100
    miro
    dr. vendor discount clearing 1
    cr. cogs 1
    dr. gr/ir 100
    cr vendor 100
    then we bill the customer.
    Copa at this point gets hit with 99 debit to cogs value field (100 -1 =99)
    then we process the customer credit memo request.
    Then we process the vendor miro credit.
    dr. cogs 1
    cr. vendor discount clearing 1
    dr. vendor 100
    cr. gr/ir 100
    At the time the vendor credit memo is posted, sap inserts a new copa line-item on the customer billing document with $1.00 debit to copa.
    then we reverse migo
    dr. gr/ir 100
    cr cogs 100
    And then we bill the customer credit memo, which creates another copa document that credits copa with $99.00.  why doesn't this create a copa document of -$100.  this would help tie out copa and fi.
    If you go through and look at all cogs postings on FI side, the credits and debits = 0
    If you go through and look at the cogs posting in COPA, the credits and debits = 1
    therefore, fi and co don't tie.
    please give me any ideas that might help me.

    Hi Valerio,
    Have you found any solution for your issue?
    We have a similar problem with 3rd party drop ship orders and COPA. Cost of Goods Sold Drop Ship is being charged when we use MR11 to clear GR/IR account. This is causing reconciliation issues between COPA and the General Ledger.
    Let me know if you have come across any clues?
    Thanks.

  • Third Party Drop ship and availability check against Product Allocations.

    Dear All -
    We are facing a situation where we need to create a third party drop ship Sales Order with an item category which still reaches out to APO and confirms against the product allocation quantities. This is not supported by standard SAP.
    Has anyone come across such a requirement and how has it been handled. I would really appreciate any suggestions.
    Regards
    Mandar

    Vladimir,
    I want the drop ship in which when you create SO, before selecting the vendor, system should perform availability check for plants. If material is not available in the plants ( nearest plant) then system should select the vendor who will ship the material to customer directly.

  • Cost in invoice in the case of third party drop ship scenario

    Hello ALL
    We have third party drop ship scenario where vendor drop ships the goods to customer on our behalf and once we get the confirmation from vendor we bill the customer.  The sales order line has TAS item category.  When we raise the invoice the cost and billing quantity (because billing quantity is 'E' in copy control) comes from the goods receipt.  The PO is an import PO and has custom duty (delivery cost conditon) as well.  The custom duty is significant and hence when we create billing doc from sales order we want the custom duty also to come along with the material pirce as cost to the billing doc. Currently, the billing doc has material price from goods receipt as cost. 
    Can we get both price and custom duty as cost through some config or some change in PO pricing schema?  Or is there an user exit that can be used to manipuate the same?
    This is a common scenario in India and hence if anybody has come across this already and can share the solution, it will be great.
    Thanks in advance.
    Rajeev Jain

    Hi,
    You can do like this.
    Create a cost condition type ( copy of VPRS) and place it properly in the pricing procedure. sub total field must be B to collect the cost. Place a account key and maintain the G/L account for it also.
    In the requirement you can develop a new requirement saying that in case of TAS item category system should check for the cost of the item from a PO, and you can get the total of customs and price to by writing a logic. To develop the program and logic discuss with your developer.
    Thanks,

  • Third Party Drop Ship with Auto PO Generation

    Hi All -
    I am using a third party drop ship process and I would like the PO to be automatically generated by the system.
    I have changed the configuration on the TAS item category and checked 'Create PO Automatically'.  I went to OVX5 and maintained the Purchasing Org, Plant, Purchasing group, and order type for my Sales Org. 
    When I create a sales order with a material with a TAS item category.  The purchase requisition gets created but the PO does not.  Am I missing something in set up? 
    Please help
    Thanks

    Auto Po will not generates in third party sales, only PR will get generated based on PR we have to create PO in ME21N.
    pls search in forum will get many threads on this

  • Freight from PO or goods receipt into sales order in Third party drop ship

    Hello!!!
    We have a requirement where the freight charged by vendor in third party drop ship sales order scenario should show up in the billing document to customer. So we will create a sales order with TAS item category.  This will create PReq and PO subsequently.  Once the vendor delivers the goods to customer and we do the goods receipt in the system, we will bill the customer.  While we bill we want to bring the actual freight charged by vendor to the customer billing document.  Also we bill the customer as soon as we do the receipt and do not wait for the vendor invoice.
    I am not sure if we can do this standard SAP but would like to if anyone has come across this scenario and what is the approach if we need to do this. We can have vendor send us the freight while doing the goods receipt but not sure how to transfer the value to sales order or to billing document directly.
    Any help or idea is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

    During GRN we cannot enter any value apart from the excise or customs duty, therefore the freight that you have incured at actuals cannot be captured during GRN and therefore cannot be transfered to the invoice also.
    While creating invoice to the customer you can insert a freight condition type and enter the freight value manualy.
    Generally in third party scenario we can only invoice the cust after purchase booking has taken place. In your case you want the cust invoice to be created based on grn, for that you have modify the copy control settings.

  • Third party Drop Ship

    Hi All,
    We have a scenario wherein we use third party drop ship for accessory material. Currently when a sales order is created with multiple line items, it generates multiple purchase requisitions against each line item. These PR's are in turn converted to multiple PO's.
    Can we have an option of generating a Scheduling agreement with reference to multiple PR's generated, or any other way where we can club the items may be as per material group. This is required in order to avoid processing of multiple Purchase documents.
    Let me know.
    Thanks,
    Sourabh Kothari

    Hi,
    I am converting the PR's generated from third party Sales order into PO. Against single PR i can create one scheduling agreement.
    Is there any way to update single SA against multiple PR's generated from multiple Sales orders. What transaction should i use to create it
    In case i convert it to PO from Me29, is there an option of adding a line item if i have new PR in the same PO?
    Thanks,

  • Availibility check in 3rd Party sales..

    Hi !! Gurus,
    How availibility check is done in 3rd party sales.
    As material is going from vendor to the customer directly. Whether we have to maintain some storage location saying vendors material ?
    Regards,
    Atul

    Hi Atul,
    There is no standard solution, But most of the clients follow these steps..
    maintain vendor storage location or depository - This is similar to reqular storage location.
    When vendor updates his stock on weekly basis update your stock in that storage location.
    everything similar to regular storage location, but availability and other factors are not as accurate as clients own stock.
    Some times clients even follow availability request form procedure too.. In which they will send a form/ just word document to reserve the stock at vendor location. SO will be on block for vendor approval...once they recieve approval from vendor, they will process document.
    Let me know, if you have any questions/concerns
    Regards

  • How to close third party (drop ship) contract

    Hi Friends,
    This is our scenario,
    created drop ship sales order (with item category YB1), then PR automaticlly created. say PR 123456
    Create quantity contract(out blanket PO) to vendor reference PR123456
    After receiving shipping document, create PO(internal document) reference PR 123456
    Since PO created by referencing PR but not contract, whenever GR to PO, the conresponding qty won'e reduced from Open target quantity in contract. thus this type of contract always stays open /
    My question is : How to show correct open target quantity in drop ship contract.
    Thanks,
    Linda

    Hi Linda,
    Instead of creating the Contract with reference to the PR , create the contract without any reference. By doing so if you do the source determination in the 3rd part PR it would pick this contract as a reference. The PO created based on this PR will have the reference of both the PR and the contract.
    Alternatively you can enter the contract number directly in the PO which would also update the open target quantity in the contract.

  • WRT54G and E.mail checking thru 3rd party applications

    Hello,
    Just a few days ago I was installing brand new WRT54G ver.6 at my friend's house. I made sure there is not interference with any other surrounding wireless networks and also properly secured router.
    I ve tried connect 2 different computers. First one: HP laptop had no problems with it whatsoever but using my PDA (Dell Axim x51v) I was able to connect to network and browse internet but when I tried download E.mail using build-in e.Mail sofware it didn't work. I got message: connection has been lost and I should try to reconnect or check E.mail settings in my 3rd party software.
    When I changed router back to "old" one (D-link 524)... no problems. So I assumed there must be some setup problem.
    At my house I use WRT54GS ver.2 and it works like a charm.
    Any idea how to go over it?
    Maciej

    I would compare settings and make sure you have matched them exactly the same as the working setup.  Make screen prints of working setup and take them with you.

  • Overdelivery shipping for make-to-order production

    Hello,
    I have the following business scenario example:
    We have a make-to-order production of carton boxes.
    A customer places an order for 1000 UN.
    Production is always planned with an overdelivery tolerance so the actual produced quantity for that particular order is 1050 UN.
    The customer allows an overdelivery of 10% so it should be fine to ship the 1050 UN.
    When I create the outbound delivery, the system creates it for the exact sales order amount: 1000 UN, even though there are 1050 UN produced for that order and item. So right now, the user has to manually modify the delivery quantity to match the actual stock.
    Is there a standard way of configuring the system so that in the delivery creation the system selects the entire produced quantity (respecting the overdelivery tolerance)??
    Do I need a user exit for this? In that case, which one should I use and what would be the logic for it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Unfortunately there is no easy way to influence delivery quantity in delivery processing by user exit or customer function.
    At creation of an delivery FORM USEREXIT_BATCH_DETERMINATION in include MV50AFZZ would be the best option to influence the delivery quantity. Despite the name of this user exit it could be used for changing normal items as well and the main advantage of this user exit is that the ATP check is done afterwards.
    If you change the delivery quantity please be aware that you have to ensure the consistency of all delivery quantity fields at item level (LIPS-LFIMG, LIPS-LGMNG, LIPS-LFIMG_FLO, LIPS-LGMNG_FLO). You could use FORM LIPS_QUAN_SET (Include FV50XFLP_LIPS_QUAN_SET) to synchronize all the quantity fields.
