Inter Company Returns Process

Hi,
Are there any inter-company experts out there?
I have searched the forum but cannot find consistent, conclusive answers on this subject.
We have 2 company codes linked, one buys from the other with inter company billing via idocs - this all works very well.
Problem now is that we would like to process some returns...and it seems that SAP just haven't provided a decent solution to this (certainly not in 4.6c)
So far I have managed to set up the plant relationship in reverse - so that the vendor plant in effect 'buys' the goods back from the customer plant.  This works but financially isn't  100% right and requires quite a bit of master data.  Is this the recommended process?
I would expect a process that uses a credit billing type - IG or IGA.
Can the original sending plant process a return in the same way as it would a normal customer - then initiate an inter-company credit?
Also I've looked at processing a returns PO - this looked promising...it does use an 'IG'  but the stock removal and stock placement in the 2 plants isn't very good ie it removes the stock from 916 and places the stock into 916 in the receiving warehouse.
Any hints or tips gratefully received as I have spent weeks researching but to no avail.
Regards
Guy

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
That was an interesting note but unfortunately cannot be used (as advised in the note) in my situation.  It doesn't work where a full stock removal process is required (i.e. WM picking).

  • New Post - GR not shown in inter-company return PO history

    Hi Gurus,
    Below is the process we performed for the return PO process
    1. ME21N, create the STO with the return indicator ticked.
    2. VL10B, create the delivery note for the STO created in step1.
    3. MIGO, GR against the PO created in step 1. (Mov.Type 161, not 101)
    4. VL02N, GR against the delivery note created in step2.
    All the transaction are performed successfully with the correct data flow. When we look into the PO history tab, we can see the delivery note, the material document of the Mvttype 161, but our problem is that we can NOT see the material document of the goods receipt at the original supplying plant - this is different from the regular STO (not the return scenario) in the normal process, the delivery note, PGI, PGR can all be found in the PO history.
    (Original Receiving Plant: where the PO was created,
    Original Supplying Plant: where the goods is going to received into)
    Much appreciate for any post.

    Original receiving plant: where the return PO was created.
    Original supplying plant: where the goods are returned to.
    we dont have problem with Mvt.type 161. We do want the PO with the return indicator ticked to support the inter-company return process. I was referring to the GR against the PO (not the delivery, my mistake in original post) at the original receiving plant- which links to the movement type 161.
    The question we have now is that the GR against the DELIVERY at the ORIGINAL supplying plant is not shown in the PO history tab.

  • Inter Company Billing process

    Hi,
    We are testing the Inter Company Billing process.
    Please clarify the below my doubts: what are we doing in these below two transactions? and what kind of documents will get created after executing both the transactions?
    1) /N/DSD/DE_ENTRY
    2) /DSD/SL_COCKPIT
    I am FI Consultant, so not able to understand clearly the above transactions.
    Please explain in detail.
    Regards,
    Vidya

    Dear Vidya,
    The transactions which you have mentioned are not related to intercompany billing process. as suggested by our friend above.
    I will try to elaborate the use of the metioned transactions. These both transactions are used in case of direct store delivery componant, and are based on the tour data.
    1) /N/DSD/DE_ENTRY :
    Generally in direct store delivery process, material is loaded on the trucks and check out from warehouse is done, this material is delivered by driver to several customers on his way and he also collects cash payments, cheques form several customers. he can also pick up empties from the customers and then he comes back to the warehouse with empties and payments. where check in is done.and all data is entered regarding empties and payments.
    Now whtever he has delivered and brought back has to be entered in the system, which is nothing but tour data entry which is above transaction.
    2) /DSD/SL_COCKPIT
    Based on the tour data entered the system will carry out the settlement. and for the settlement you need to use above transaction.
    here you will enter the data in check in and check out as tour entry.
    then system will compare  the data and creates different kinds of documents like
    debit memo's to customer , credit memo's in customer incase some returns, empties credit memo, billing documents against received payments, and most importantaly credit or debit memo against driver if empties quanity differs from wht is signed by customer.
    I hope this gives you some insight of these transactions and helps to clear your doubt. But there is more which you can read about it.

  • Inter Company Business Process Overview

    Hi,
    Could someone provide explanation on
    1. Inter Company Business Process / accounting
    2. Consolidation process
    Points would be assigned for satisfactory answers.
    regards
    Shankar

    Dear Shankar,
    1. Inter Company Business Process / accounting
       This involves inter company transaction amongst the Group.
    This may be in relation to the following.
    1. Common Debtors/Vendors
    2. Investments
    3. Inter company deposits and transfers of funds
    4. Inter company transfers of stock
    etc.
    2. Consolidation process
    In case of consolidation process entire listed above categories are added up for totalling them at a Group level or Company level.
    So in short these two are interrelated. At the time of consolidation all inter company debts are set off for making a consolidated balance sheet for reporting purposes.
    Hope this answers your question

  • Inter-Company sales processing

    Hi All,
    I have carried out the Inter-Company sales processing and it is working fine upto the creation of Inter-Company billing.  The Inter-Company billing and Accounting document have also got created.  I have used both the output condition types RD00 for manual and RD04 for automatic posting.  
    Please let me know the process, which is need to be followed to complete the Inter-Company code sales processing once the intercompany billing/invoice is created....
    When both the ouput condition types have been processed successfully, what is the next process???
    In case of manual process, how/where the Ordering company code will take the Goods receipt and Invoice receipt?  What basis/what the reference document,  the ordering company code will use to process the above.
    Hope I have conveyed my requirement.....
    Please help me...
    Regards,
    Mani
    In case of Automatic process, how/where to check whether the data has been processed in the ordering company code?

    Dear Manivannan R
    This is not Intercompany Scenario as defined by SAP, Intercompany scenario is different. In that if one company is not having stock then on behalf of one company , second company delivers the good to customer and second company gives IV invoice to first company, and actually first company sends invoice to customer
    however your scenario can be done in following way
    1. First Scenario when PNT2 supplies the goods to PNT1, COC2 is vendor for COC1 and COC1 is a customer for COC2, so define one customer and one vendor
    2. second scenario, when PNT1 supplies the goods to PNT2, COC1 is a vendor for COC2 and COC2 is a customer for COC1, so define one customer and one vendor
    Now you can use your existing sales order type and pricing procedure and treat this as normal sales
    Or
    you can define specific sales order type and pricing procedure if your existing sales order type and pricing procedure is not sufficient.

  • Availability check in inter company sales process

    Hi,
    I want know about
    While creating the sales order in inter company sales process, i will select the plant of another company code.  System should check the available quantity of that respective plant of another company code and should propose the available date.
    Is it possible in SAP.  Please guide me.
    Thanks
    Rajesh.

    dear
    the availability check is done according to the quantities available and the quantities that would flow in and flow out of the storage location of a particular plant ..
    in the inter-company sales scenario when you change the plant in the sales order. the system checks for the availability .
    If the availability is not checked for you can click on availability icon and get it checked.
    item availability could be checked for and accordingly the delivery dates could be proposed.
    you don't need any special customization for that..
    regards

  • Inter company  return  PO- Error

    Hi ,
    We have intercompany purchasing process which is working fine.  But When I am  trying  to create  the  Return purchase order through   ME21N and checked the line item  box as Return  for  the same item ,u2026getting an  error message  as  follows
    ==================================================================
    u201CNo delivery type for returns processing assigned to item 00010
    Message no. ME392
    Diagnosis
    Shipping processing for a returns item is only possible if a delivery type for returns items has been defined.
    ==================================================================
    Note:   The  following config has been done u2026u2026u2026.
    1.      The  same  vendor  I,e   Intercompany vendor  created as   Return vendor
    2.     Purchase Order -
     Return vendor , I have assigned as  delivery type as   NCR to supply plant  1000( The plant from where we are getting the Material  through  Inter company  PO.)
    3.     
    Did  I miss  some config set up  or master data set up ?
    Please help  me

    You will  need to have all the settings for doing a forward PO to the returns also,if you are able to create the forward PO with your settings and able to do the delivery and PGI, these settings are suffient to do the return , with additional settings at store return with NCR as delivery type.
    but however please check the customer , and the settings at OMGN and the receiving plant customer set to be at supplying plant (normal forward PO notations).
    and please check the route id etc.
    If you are able to create a forward PO , then with NCR sctting you should get the return po too.
    please check the service market place , as there is a note for returns.
    the PO is for NB or for UB?

  • Inter-company Clearing Process

    Inter-company sub-ledger is cleared manually using F-30 on our current process. The steps are as below:
    There are 4 steps to the process
    Step1. FBICS3 – Select Document (SAP)
    Step2. FBICA3 - Assign document automatically (SAP)
    Step3. Spreadsheet for manual analysis (Outside SAP)
    Step4. F-30 – Transfer with Clearing (SAP – Manual clearing)
    Step 2 FBICA3 will assign and match the reconciliation items automatically but it does not cleared the items automatically. Therefore, further analysis has to be done and reconcile items will be manually cleared using F-30.
    May I know is there a way to clear all the reconciliation items automatically during step 2 as FBICA3 has already assigned and matched the reconcile items? If this is not the case, what are the other options apart from F-30 and ABAP program?
    Thank you.
    Francis

    IN the due course of buisness the companies has to either make a payment or make a Journal entry manually eliminating this.
    If you have implemented consoldation these entries will automatically get eliminated at Group level.

  • Inter company returns

    Hello all
    This is about intercompamy returns
    4014 plant assined to CC 4014 returns stocks plant 1801 assined to CC 1801
    The configuration is maintained properly
    When the PGR is made for return delivery from plant 1801 there is no error message from the system as there is no Goods issue (MIGO) has not happened in plant 4014 (in my quality server)
    Logically if you look at it when the issueing plant 4014 issues the stocks only ,then only the receiving plant 1801 can take back the stocks
    The same scenario ,system was throwing error when i try to PGR  in plant 1801 as there was no MIGO happened in 4014 which was perfectly correct (in sand box)
    It allows me to do PGR in 1801 only when i do or comlete  MIGO in 4014 (perfectly right)
    Can anybody point out what is missing in my quality client settings which was there in sand box
    Waiting for your valuable inputs
    Regards
    Raja
    Note Even without MIGO in 4014 the stock updation is happening in both the plants 1801 and 4014 that is after PGR the stock is increased in 1801 and reduced in 4014
    What setting should i need to do to ensure Goods issue is posted in 4014 before making a receipt in 1801
    Any suggestions on this
    Edited by: ramanathan raja on Jun 28, 2009 6:16 PM

    Dear Friend
    Thanks for understanding the issue
    But when i checked with the delivery type NCR , system is allowing to post the PGR even without 161 return by the received plant.
    This is what is happening to me too and it is wrong
    But the same scenario in my sand box the system was not allowing to post PGR in the suppiled  plant which is now taking the return stocks
    What is the config setting that i missed in my develpoment client?
    Does in the forward process is there a check in your system to stop posting the GR by the receiving plant even though the PGI is not happened?
    Answer is Yes I didnot do any settings to achieve this The system does it automatically
    If you have more inputs on this issue please share

    Hi,
    Let me explain you like this.
    You have sales organization SO1 and plant PLT1 which is a ordering company COMP1.
    Now you have sales organization SO2 and PLT2 which is a delivering company COMP2.
    Now your customers comes to SO1 for order but because you donu2019t have material in PLT1 so you are giving material from PLT2 which is assigned to COMP2.
    So this becomes a intercompany scenario right.
    But when it comes to billing SO2 has to bill SO1 because in intercompany SO1 becomes customer for SO2.
    So SO2 will send invoice to SO1 for whatever material they have used.
    Then SO1 has to send invoice to all of his customer.
    So for SO2 donu2019t have to care about all the customer which are coming to SO1.
    So to map this scenario you have to create one customer for SO2.
    Then you have to assign that customer to internal customer in SO1.
    So scenario billing goes likes this.
    SO2 sends bill to SO1 for payment and SO1 sends bills to all the customer.
    Hope so I am clear about what ever I was said.
    If still you have doubt then please let us know
    Regards
    Raj.
