Inter-company expenses

Hi all,
Consider the example:
Assume that there are 3 companies belonging to the same business group, represented as 3 different company codes, say A, B & C, in the same SAP system [P01].
Now, company A incurs expenses on behalf of companies B & C say travel expenses of the MDs of companies B & C.
CASE 1:
Inter-company clearing accounts are set-up between the company codes in the SAP system [P01] and hence Inter-company posting of expenses happen as below:
Books of A:
Dr Inter-company B A/c 5
Dr Inter-company C A/c 5
Cr Bank / Vendor for expenses 10
Books of B:
Dr MD's Travel exps A/c 5
Cr Inter-company A A/c 5
Books of C:
Dr MD's Travel exps A/c 5
Cr Inter-company A A/c 5
Can anyone let me know the relevant program through which this functionality has been enabled in SAP FI.
CASE 2:
Assume that company A is on an SAP system [P02] that is different from that of the other company codes B & C [P01].
Now, taking the same example as above, is it possible to use the same standard SAP inter-company functionality in FI to post the inter-company expenses from company A to companies B & C?
Is there is any other alternative solution ?
Some gyan please..

Hello,
You can post the cross company code postings even between two controlling areas. The system does not prevent to post documents between two company codes in two controlling area. Need not necessarily they should be under one operating concern. Provided you have to make sure that you have followed the following points:
In OBY6 - To company codes must be assigned to same Company, meaning that you mus thave created a Company and that company must have been assigned to these two company codes.
OBYA - You should maintain the clearing accounts in both the company codes. Meaning that you are posting one leg in one company code and the other leg in the other company. Therefore, it is required to have the missing legs in each company code.
Company Code1 - Posting Key 40 - Clearing Account
Company Code1 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
Company Code2 - Positng Key 40 - Clearing Account
Company Code2 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
OB08 - In case if the two company codes have different local (company code) currencies, you may maintain the exchange rates.
You can now go to F-02 and post a cross company code transaction giving the first leg in first company code and the second leg in second company code. Missing leg in the first company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA and the missing leg in the second company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA. That means you will have four line items overall.
The system will post three document.
Document 1 in First Company Code
Document 2 in Second Company Code
and
Document3 - Cross Company Code Document.
The cross company code document consists of the first company code document number plus company code plus last two digits of the fiscal year.
Hope this must have clarified your doubts.
Please let me know in case if you need further details.
Thanks,
Ravi

Inter company transaction

Hi All,
We have a problem in accounting Intercompany transaction. Scenario is as mentioned below:
"A" company code is making advance payment to a vendor in "B" company code. Both these companies are not in same country. We are making manual payment by way of F-02. It throws the error message saying that A company code cannot be paying company code as this is not in same country as B. We used to make this type of payment till 4.7. After upgrade to ECC 6.0, the system is not allowing us to make the payment. We are not using Automatic payment program at all. Could someone please let us know is there any change from 4.7 to 6.0 and how to resolve this issue? It is allowing us to post inter company expense payments with company codes in different countries. Only in case of Vendor payments, its giving this error.
Regards
Suresh

hi
u can use manual payment method for this through f-53 or f-51.
in f-53 while making payment select the open item of the vendor of the original company code in by selecting others check box.then u can be able to get open items of the invoice company code.so that u can make payemnt to that vendor directly from here by selecting the open item .
u can try this even with f-51 also.

Hi there
Cross company postings using the standard FI cross company clearing accounts (which is also the way we do it in the travel management) is only possible for company codes in the same country and forming an integrated company liable to sales tax.
In all other cases the scenario should be handled by posting the travel expenses to sales orders situated in the vendor's company code and invoice creation for the other company code responsible for the expenses.
So ideally it should be done across one tax schema and the standard behaviour when posting cross-company is, that all
the tax is calculated in and posted to the leading company code - so this company code is the company code of the vendor.
Moreover the functionality in FI splits the document per company code by creating the clearing accounts 1 per tax code, which also requires the clearing accounts to be posted with tax.
Hope this helps

Inter-company Posting in F110

Hello All,
I would like to know if there is any standard SAP Program/IDoc which creates inter-company postings while making payment to the Inter-co Customers/Vendors in F110.
For example: Company A and Company B are related to one group. Company B made some sales to Company A. Now Company A has to make payment to Company B. Assuming that all the Trading Partners are set-up properly and Vendor and Customer Master Data has also been maintained.
While executing the APP Run in F110, if the Company A makes the payment, there will be a payment document that gets generated. At the same time, we expect some interco receipt posting in Company B(automatically).
Is there any Standard SAP Program/BTE/ any other solution to meet the requirement.
Thanks & Regards

No Company Code Track in Inter Company Code Transactions

Hi,
When we post an inter company code transaction system generates two documents in Both company codes involved in the transaction and an internal auto generated cross company code document number. But when i view these documents i am unable to see from which company receivable is standing and two which company payable is standing. it only shows in which company code the transaction was posted but no information is being provided against line item so that we can see on which company behalf have we booked or paid the expense. we are posting inter company code transaction through f-02. is there any other specific transaction code for this? or any report or any other way to view how much from which company is recyclable/Payable standing? please also not that we are using two different g/l for inter company receivable and payable.
Regards,

hi ,
Can you please post the screen shot of one of those document . IF i am not wrong you want to know that in which company ocde it posted . YOu can find out from the Number range and then Comapny code in Docuemnt number .( In this Trading Partner poplauted Automatically) So definately you need Tranding partner to do intercomapny reconciliation
IF you have Cross comapny code Transaction you will have cross comapny docuemnt number in FB03 as below which you can see in FBU3 .
Sometime you do not post Cross company transaction but you post in Individual companies with trading Partner .
in this case there will not be any cross company document .. Please check your OBYA configuration and check which GL code you have defined and whether you have maintaned the config tfor that

Inter company Posting

Hi Gurus,
I have a query on 2 company codes transaction. Lets say company A and company B. Company A has a vendor which is company B (Vendor B) and company B has a customer which is company A (Customer A).
For example:
Company B will send invoice to Company A with the amount of $100 (incoming - AR)
Company A will receive invoice from Company B with the amount of $100 (outgoing - AP)
As far as I know, we can use OBYA to setting up this. May I know, is there a way to park the document first for verification before real posting is done. This is needed so that both company codes can check whether the invoice is charging correctly or not.
Any advise would be appreciated & rewarded.
Many thanks.

Morgan,
The Intercompany transactions are like this - Hope this helps.
For Ex: Maintenance expenses for company code 1000 paid by company code 1001. The entry will be entered into the system as follows using FB01:
Document Header will be for company code 1000 and you will Debit Maintenance Expenses for $100. In the second screen, you will enter the Cash Account but in New Co. Code field, you will enter 1001 and credit the account with $100. When you post this transaction, the system will post 2 documents automatically, one in co. code 1000 and the other in 1001 and the entries will look like below:
In company code 1000:
Maintenance Expenses A/c Dr
To Inter-Company Clearing A/c (Account assigned in OBYA)
In company code 1001:
Inter-Company Clearing A/c Dr
To Cash A/c
You will only see 2 documents - One in Selling Co. Code, one in receiving co. code.
The only scenario that comes to my mind where you can get 3 documents are Dropship scenarios, wherein a customer for company code 1000 needs a product, which is manufactured by company code 1001. In this case, the sales order is created for the sales org associated with company code 1000 and the shipping plant will be the one that belongs to 1001.
When the invoicing is done, there will be 3 different sets of entries that will be generated.
1. In company code 1000 - Sales will be booked by Debiting End Customer and crediting the sales account.
2. In company code 1001 - Inter-Company document is posted by debiting company code 1000 (A/R account) and crediting the Inter-Company Sales Account.
3. In Company code 1000 - The payable is booked by crediting the company code 1001 (A/P account) and debiting the cost of goods sold account.
Assign points if found useful.

Hi Harin,
Thank you for your reply.The document given by you will not meet our requirement.Let me explain in details with accounting entry for this cross company code transaction.
As mentioned Company code A will provide service to company code B.For ex.the service amount is Rs.100 and on that service tax is Rs.10.Following entry should generate in the books of both the company codes while posting cross company code document.
In Company code A -This is a income
Company code B a/c(customer)   Dr 110
Income a/c Cr                                             100
Service tax payable a/c Cr                             10
In Company code B - This is expenses
Expenses a/c Dr                               110(Including service tax)
Company code A a/c (Vendor)                              110

Credit memo for Inter-company billing

Hi
We are trying to create a credit memo with reference to an inter company billing document. The business requirement is to create a credit memo to adjust the invoice value due to wrong value posted in the original inter-company invoice. Hence we do not want to use the sales returns route for this.
So, we are trying to create a credit memo request (ZCR) in VA01 with reference to the Inter company billing document (ZIV). We have maintained the copy control between ZCR and ZIV.
However, when creating a credit memo request (ZCR) with respect to the intercompany billing document, we get the below error in the sales order.
"Item category ZNLC is not defined" and "Check Item copy" with Message No: V1324.
ZNLC is the item category that we used in the intercompany delivery document.
We are able to ignore this message in sales order screen and save the credit memo request in VA01 and also create credit memo (ZG2) in VF01.
Pl provide your inputs on whether we are missing any other configuration.
Regards,
John

Hi
I have maintained the item level copy control settings as below.
In the copy control (VTAF) between ZCR (Credit memo request) and ZIV (Inter company billing) at the item level for ZNLC (Inter company item category coming source document), the following setup has been maintained
Copying requirements : 303
Copy schedule lines : Blank
Pos / neg qty : Blank
Pricing type : D
Update doc flow : X
Do not copy batch : blank
Pl let me know if there are any other settings to be done in config.
Thanks,
John

Questions on Inter-company and Cross-company sales ordering process..

Hi,
I understood the delivery plant and the sales org. is not in the same company code might be the process, but i want to know some details especially in SAP system how it is realized and processed, hope could kindly help me on below questions!! thanks!!
1)what is the difference between inter-company sales and Cross-company sales??
2)What is the general document flow and config. when in below 2 cases:
Suppose the 2 company code under same sap client system, then what kinds of company code,plant config within the system for inter-compan and cross-company, and finally what kind of document flow will it be in the system.
Suppose the 2 company code is under diff sap system, then what kind of doc flow in each sap system for inter-company and cross-company sales process???
Thank you very much!!!!

Hi,
Basically there are totally Three types of scenarios
1. Intra Compnay Stock Transport Order
In this type of scenario, the stock is transfered between Two Plants which are under the same Compnay Code. The document type used here is UB. Here in this scenario the owner ship on the stock is not changed thats way there will not be any Invoice. The process as follows
a. Create Purchase Order with document type UB - ME21N
b. Create Replenishment Delivery with Document type NL - VL10B
c. Picking and PGI - VL02N
Now stock will be shown in Transit, you can check this using T.Code MB5T.
d. Do MIGO to receive the stock into ordering plant.
2. Inter Compnay Stock Transport Order
This is called as Cross Compnay STO. Here the stock is sent from one plant to another plant which are in two different Compnay codes. That means the Ownership on the stock is changed in this scenario, that way there will be Intercompnay Invoice IV is reaised. Here the stock is just moved to one plant to another plant but not to any customer.
The Process is as follows
a. Create a PO using type NB - ME21N
b. Create a Cross Compnay Replenishment delivery using type NLCC - VL10B
c. Picking and PGI in VL02N
d. Inter Compnay Invoice IV is raised by Supplying Compnay code to the Ordering Compnay Code - VF01
for this a customer created in Supplying Compnay who represents the Ordering Compnay and the invoice is raised against to that customer.
e. MIGO to receive the stock in Ordering Plant
f. MIRO to do invoice verification and do Vendor account update. This also can be done by EDI triggering, to update the Vendor Account. That means with this step, ordering compnay will update into its vendor account that he has to give certain amount to the compnay who supplied the stock.
3. Inter Compnay Customer Sales
This is similer to the 2 process, but here instead of sending to Plant we will send the stock directly to Customer of other compnay code.
The process is as follows
a. Customer raises normal sales order in another compnay code of type OR - VA01
b. But if the plant of that compnay does not have stock, then in the order the plant is changed to other compnay code plant.
c. Delivery is created in supplying Compnay against this Order - VL01
d. Picking and PGI is done - VL02N
e. But the stock is sent direclty to customer from supplying plant.
f. Ordering compnay will raise normal invoice F2 to the customer
g. Supplying Compnay will raise Intercompnay invoice IV to the Ordering Compnay.
But for all these process there are some configurations can be done, like
the material should be extended to both the plants
a customer is created in supplying plant who represents the ordering plant so that IV can be generated to that customer.
Supplying Plants should be linked to ordering Sales Org and Distribution channel. etc.
Hope this is clear.
Thanks
