Segment Reporting.... What happens to Inter Company Transactions

I have 2 simple questions, please help me if you know the answers:
1. Inter Company: When we report at Segment Level (ECC 6.0) how do we eliminate Intercompany sales for company codes belonging to same segment. Is there a standard program to do this.
2. Inter Segment: Are there any standard reports for Inter Segment.
Please do share you experiences with Inter Company and Inter Segment scenarios and reporting.
Thanks

The problem is you need to create COMPANY and assign the same to both company codes in OBY6.
The following information must be useful.
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 Reconciliation in ECC 6.0

Hi Guru's,
We are implementing ECC 6.0 version for 560 Company Codes and wondering do we need to configure the new Inter-Company functionality for reconciliaiton. It gives me a feeling that this functionality makes more sense if you have Company Codes in different clients/different systems etc., To my knowledge all inter-company postings within a client should get reconciled automatically.
Could someone please share some your views on this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Inter-company adjustment and transactions are taken care of using the inter-company clearing accounts through automatic account determinations. In ECC6, you have the option of defining segments and assignment of profit centres to segments. When two profit centres/segments are involved in posting (for ex. in the case of two different companies and hence two profit centres), system would automatically pass entries in the segment clearing account to effect the adjustment of involvement of different segments in one transactions. Through this, the transaction gets balanced in terms of segments or profit centres as the case may be. If you have made document splitting active, the entries are checked for balancing before posting in fact. thus the intercompany transactions are reconciled automatically.

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

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

● Vendor master u2013 supplying plant
Create the vendor for the purchasing organization of the receiving plant.
Assign the vendor to the supplying plant in the vendor master record.
From the menu, choose Logistics ® Materials Management ® Purchasing ® Master Data ® Vendor ® Purchasing ® Change (Current). Go to the Purchasing View and choose Extras ® Additional Purchasing Data.
● Customer master u2013 receiving plant
Create a customer master record for the receiving plant. From this, both the address and the data that is relevant for shipping point determination, such as transportation zone and shipping condition are taken.
From the menu, choose Logistics ® Sales and Distribution ® Master Data ® Business Partner ® Customer ® Create.

Plz check this link for tht information.
So, basing on this: I have customer 1 and vendor 1 for CC1......
--> Customer 1 is assigned to the receiving plant with sales area1 in setup STO configuration.
--> Vendor 1 is assigned to the supplying plant in the vendor master.
--> My question for u is:
1) In ME21N, in the vendor field u assign the vendor from CC1 or CC2 (Because it says the vendor - external supplier if u read in F1 in tht vendor filed)
Company code , Purc Org, plant all this will be from CC1 in ME21N, right?????????
Material exists in both the plants P1 and P2.......right?????
2) How to configure the inter - company accounts for the billing in sd for this STO scenario.???
Please clarify these things.....
You will be appreciated and rewarded too.

Error while creating inter-company invoice for stock transport

Hi ,
I am facing following errors while creating inter-company invoice for STO order.
We have scenario where standard PO is created in company code A & then replenishment delivery is created in company code B.While raising inter-company invoice to company code A, we are facing problem.
In replenishment delivery we have 10 line items. But when we try to do inter company invoice through VF01/VF04 we get following log
XXXXXXXXXX(delivery Number) 000000 Customer XXXXX: Customer master table KNVV is missing (VF-022)
XXXXXXXXXX (delivery Number)000010 The bill-to party could not be determined (VF-047)
XXXXXXXXXX (delivery Number)000010 The payer could not be determined (VF-048)
With this first line item from delivery is not flows to invoice & if we saves this invoice then it is get saved with account determination error as some of the data does not comes into invoice header like account assignment group for customer, Payment term, destination country,region, tax classification for customer etc. That means invoice gets created without first line item from delivery with account determination error & so,no accounting document gets generated.
I checked customer master for all SP,SH,BP,PY they are correctly maintained.This was working fine few months back, but not working now.
If anybody had come across such kind of scenario, your valuable inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & kind regards,
Ganesh Palatshaha

Order related inter company credit memo - Order status 'Not Invoiced'

Hi,
We have recently created 'Order related inter company credit memo' process for return Stock Transport Orders(STO). For this, we used order related billing (billing relevance = C i.e. Relevant for ord.-related billing - status acc.to target qty) with standard item category 'G2N'. The issue is even after invoicing, sales order item status is 'Not Invoiced' and header status is 'Open', hence these orders are picked up multiple times during background invoice run and multiple invoices are being created.
How do we control the 'Completion' status in order related inter company billing? VBUP-FKSAA is not changed even after billing document creation and remains as A i.e. Not yet processed. Do i need to check VBUP-FKIVP since this is inter company billing.
I have also tried with TVAP-FKREL as 'B' i.e. Relevant for order-related billing - status according to order quantity but of no use.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ganesh

HI,
Check too the Note 308989 - Consultant note for cross-company transactions
It says:
I.1.5 Returns request (IR) - returns delivery - customers credit memo -
intercompany credit memo (IG) (RETURNS)
The customer credit memo is created for the returns request and the
intercompany credit memo is created for the returns delivery.

Then the Semifinished Material is recieved back into plant A.
I am trying to map this process in SAP like as INTER COMPANY SUBCONTRACTING.
I am following the steps,
1) Sub-contracting PO in plant A. (me21n)
2) Outbound delivery against PO in plant B.
But facing problem while taking Goods Reciept against Outbound delivery in plant....it is showing error
*Goods receipt not possible for delivery 800050: error code 3*
can anybody tell me where i am doing a mistake. or plz suggest if any customisation required for this process
Thanks in advance

Have done PGI in VL02N you can get PGI tab in Delivery header details.if done PGI check delivery follow on documents material document created or not.
Check in PO confirmation tab have you maintained any confirmation controle key.If yes Po requires inbound delivery.If you dont want to create Inbound delivery Remove confirmation controle key in Po confirmations tab.Then do MIGO it will allow.

Inter Company Credit Memo (Internal Credit Memo)

Hi,
I have searched the forum using: 'Inter Company Credit' ' Internal Credit Memo' and 'IG'.
Found some information but still do not have full picture.
We use an inter company process - similar to cross company selling - where company code A supplies company code B via an inter company PO. Company code A then bills company code B using the standard inter co billing type (IV), this has output RD04 set up which makes the posting via an idoc into the receiving company code's financials.
This all works very well.
Although we are now at the stage where we need to issue internal credits ie company code A credits company code B - for example goods did not arrive.
Seems that this is a real grey area - searched everywhere - internet, SAP, books etc. I have not found any comprehensive information ie full process and configuration required.
I have learnt that all inter-company billing must be in relation to a delivery - is this correct?
I have 2 scenarios:
1. Goods are returned back to the supplying company code, so therefore need to to raise an internal credit memo.
Can returns order RE be used for this, using company code's B internal customer number as the account number? RE is set up with the inter-company billing type IG, so this would bring the stock back on hand into company code A.
The credit would then be processed against the rtns delivery (LR) but how would billing know which billing type to use, in other words does billing know that we are trying to process an inter company transaction?
2. Goods are not returned - just wish to process a credit.
As a delivery document is required, we still need a delivery to be created in this process.
I have found SAP note 24756 which explains the set up of new order type, doc flow, item cat etc - I think this is all required so that the returns delivery used is just a dummy delivery therefore not relevant to warehouse / PGI. Is this set up still required?
Does anyone out there have any experience in this area? I think there is a real lack of knowledge in this area......I'm really struggling!!!!!
Incidentally we require the credit to be processed via idocs same as normal billing.
We are on 4.6C.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Guy

Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience with intercompany billing to consult you on these questions. Also I've never worked with a release older than 4.7.
You might want to read [SAP Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/dd/5614e7545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm] and request your manager to get a consultant specifically with the intercompany experience for a few days.
When posting on SDN, I'd recommend to ask only specific questions when you run into an issue (after you've done research and tried to resolve it yourself, of course). Large "blanket" posts rarely get any response here (and for a good reason).
I'm guessing that your sales org. error is because one of these prerequisites is missing:
- Permissible combinations of plant and sales organization must be defined
- Sales area data (sales organization, distribution channel, and division) must be assigned to each plant that participates in intercompany sales processing
This is mentioned in SAP Help (see link above).
Good luck!
