Inter comp STO

Hi
We have an issue with STO inter comp order
1) Inter comp PO was created on 11.10.2010 for a qty of 10 nos
2) Delivery and PGI was done from the issing plant for 10 nos
3)but for the receiving said only 9 nos were received and invoiced
4) one number was in transit
5) Now from the receiving plant said they want to close the PO they dont want the balance 1qty
system will not alow to close the PO since 1 no is under transit
please suggest what to do

of course you have to post the invoice for 10 and pay 10.
The STO process is a close process between 2 parties on the same SAP.
If plant A issues 10 and plant B receives 9, then you have to analyze the reason for the difference and to decide you you want resolve this issue.
E.g. the receipt was counted and entered wrong  initially,
or the goods issue was made with the wrong quantity.
or the 1 was broken during the transport.
in case 1, enter the correct received quantity.
in case 3, receive the quantity and debit the carrier.
in case 2 decide if it is worth and possible to cancel the receipt and cancel the goods issue and redo everythign again, or if it easier and cheaper to just receive and scrap and pay the full quantity. Always think, even you deal with 2 legal entities, they both belong probably to the same owner  so the money does not go to an external.

  • Third party order & Inter copany STO

    HI SD Guru's
    can anyone tell me please about the configuration steps and the Procedure for "Third Party" & "Inter company STO"
    <b><REWARDS OFFER REMOVED BY MODERATOR></b>
    Thanks

    dear SP
    THIRD PARTY SCENARIO
    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.
    Process Flow
    the processing of third-party orders is controlled via material types. Material types define whether a material is produced only internally can be ordered only from third-party vendors, or whether both are possible. For example, a material that is defined as a trading good can only be ordered from a third-party vendor. However, if you manufacture your own finished products, you may also want, from time to time, to be able to order the same type of product from other vendors.
    Processing Third-Party Orders in Sales
    Third-party items can be created automatically by the system, depending on how your system is set. However, you can also change a standard item to a third-party item during sales processing manually.
    Automatic third-party order processing:-
    if a material is always delivered from one or more third-party vendors, you can specify in the material master that the material is a third-party item. During subsequent sales order processing, the system automatically determines the appropriate item category for a third-party item: TAS. To specify a material as a third-party item, enter BANS in the Item category group field in the Sales 2 screen of the material master record.
    Manual third-party order processing
    In the case of a material that you normally deliver yourself but occasionally need to order from a third-party vendor, you can overwrite the item category during sales order processing. For a material that you normally deliver yourself, you specify the item category group NORM in the material master.
    If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the sales document. The item is then processed as third-party item.
    If address data for the ship-to party is changed in the sales order in third-party business transactions, the changed data will automatically be passed on to purchase requisition and also to the purchase order ,if one already exists. In the purchase order, you can display the address data for the ship-to party in the attributes for the item.
    You can only change the address data for the ship-to party in the sales order for third-party business transactions, and not in the purchase order.
    Processing Third-Party Orders in Purchasing
    when you save a sales order that contains one or more third-party items, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition in Purchasing. Each third-party item in a sales order automatically generates a corresponding purchase requisition item. During creation of the requisition, the system automatically determines a vendor for each requisition item. If a sales order item has more than one schedule line, the system creates a purchase requisition item for each schedule line.
    Purchase orders are created from purchase requisitions in the usual way. For more information about creating purchase orders, see the Purchasing documentation. During creation of the purchase order, the system automatically copies the delivery address of your customer from the corresponding sales order. In a sales order, you can enter purchase order texts for each third-party item. When you create the corresponding purchase order, the texts are automatically copied into the purchase order. The number of the purchase order appears in the document flow information of the sales order.
    All changes made in the purchase order are automatically made in the sales order as well. For example, if the vendor confirms quantities and delivery dates different from those you request and enters them in the purchase order, the revised data is automatically copied into the sales order
    you process third-party items by creating a normal sales order. In overview for the order, you can then overwrite the default item category (TAN in the standard system) with the special item category for third-party items: TAS
    Billing Third-Party Orders
    If relevance for billing indicator for the item category has been set to B (relevant for order-related billing on the basis of the order quantity) in Customizing, the system includes the order in the billing due list immediately. If, however, the indicator has been set to F (relevant to order-related billing on the basis of the invoice quantity), the system does not include the order in the billing due list until an invoice from the vendor has been received and processed by the purchasing department. In the standard system, item category TAS (third-party order processing) has been given billing-relevance indicator F.
    In the first case, the third-party order is considered to be completely billed only when the invoiced quantity equals the order quantity of the sales order item. In the second case, each time a vendor invoice is received, a customer invoice is created for the quantity in the vendor invoice and the order is considered to be fully invoiced until the next vendor invoice is received.
    If you have activated billing-relevance indicator F for item categories in Customizing, billing can refer to the goods receipt quantity instead of the incoming invoice quantity.
    You can control whether the invoice receipt quantity or the quantity of goods received is relevant for billing in Customizing for copying control for billing at item level.
    FOR YOUR PROCESS Individual Purchase Orders WELL GIVE THE RIGHT SOLUTION
    Individual purchase orders are used when your customer orders goods from you that are not in stock and must be ordered from one or more external vendors.
    Process Flow
    During sales order entry, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition item. The purchasing department creates a purchase order based on the requisition and the vendor ships the goods directly to you (unlike third party order processing, where the vendor ships directly to your customer). You then ship the goods to your customer. While the goods are part of your inventory, you manage them as part of the sales order stock. Sales order stock consists of stock that is assigned to specific sales orders and cannot be used for other purposes.
    Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales
    Customize the third party sales in summary:
    Prerequisites for 3rd party sales,
    Purchasing org,
    purchasing group,
    assign the Purchase org to company code
    assign Purchase org to plant,
    should not maintain the stock in material, it should be trading goods,
    1. Create Vendor XK01
    2. Create Material – Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
    3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
    4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
    5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
    6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
    7. Goods receipt MIGO
    8. Goods issue
    9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and, therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.

    INTERCOMPANY PRICING:
    PI01 Intercompany: fixed amount per material unit
    PI02 Intercompany: percentage of the net invoice amount
    These condition types specify that the price charged by the delivering plant to the sales organization is shown as a statistical value in the sales order and an effective charge in the internal invoice.
    The condition records you create and maintain for intercompany billing are the same kind of records that you create for pricing in general.

    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

    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.
    *Del type=NL is not relevant for billing, where as NLCC is relevant for billing

    Hi,
    In Shipping data for plants assign the customer number which you created
    Check the following
    1) MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO> Define shipping data for plants > select the Receiving plant >assign customer here & Supplying SA (for billing) to Receiving plant here
    2) MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO> Define shipping data for plants > Select Supplying plant and assign the sales area of receiving plant.
    This will solve your error

  • Inter company STO-how to reduce the stock where no physical stock is kept in receiving plant

    Dear All,
    I am facing one issue. Suppose if there are two plants belongs to two company codes A & B.Plant A is in TN & Plant B is in AP (both belongs to two different states). Plant B is the place where no physical stock is kept, it is a place where JJ form & other documents are given to the vehicle to move it to other state. From there it ll move to end customer.
    In plant A stock reduce-- inventory credit
                                        COGS----Debit
    In plant B stock increase=---Inventory debit
                                             GR/IR--credit
    Now my problem is in plant B no stock is kept, my client wants to reduce the inventory automatically without any manual entry (since no stock in plant B)
    Can i use MB1A to reduce the stock automatically & what would be the actual entry for that. How to offset the other account which is getting debited against inventory?.
    Regards
    Subbu.

    Hi,
       It seems to be a combined scenario of third party and inter company STO scenario, where you want to send the send the stock directly to your customer. Standard SAP doesnt support the third party scenario for a vendor assigned to the plant. The standard design is well explained in the note: 1918552 - Third Party Purchase in Cross Company STO: error 06769
       If you dont want to update the stock in the receiving plant, use a consumption account assignment category (like K) in the intercompany STO, so that the stock will be directly consumed. But one question - how do you map the goods issue to the customer and the outgoing excise invoice? Could you please share the details.

    Hi,
    Generally...Inter company STO...everybody follows Two Step Method only.
    The entries are:
    1.Intra-Company STO -  One Step Method
    At Supp.Plant: Stock Acc. BSX is Credited  
    At. Rec.Plant : Stock Acc. BSX is Debited
    If you maintain Std. at Rec. Plant and if there is any Price Diff., then Price Diff. Acc.( AUM) will be triggered....
    Here all the Acc.Doc. will be generated while doing PGI only.....No Acc. Doc. will be generated at GR...
    2. Inter Company STO - Two step Method:
    At Supplying .Plant....While doing PGI..:
    Stock acc. BSX is Credited
    Cost of Goods sold Acc.(VAY) is Debited(+)
    At. Receiving Plant While doing GR:
    Stock Acc. BSX is Debited(+)
    GR/IR Clearing Acc is Credited
    If you maintain any Std. Price and if there is any price Diff. then Price Diff. Acc will be triggered...

    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

  • 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.
