Inter-company Sub-contracting

Dear Experts,
I am working on a scenerio where
Plant A is sending Components to Plant B.
Then In plant B the processing is done on those components and a semifinished material is made.
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
Mehul

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 Plant sub-contracting Issue

Dear All,
I have the following scenario to be mapped.
Under one company code i have two plants(Plant 1000 & 1100)
Material 'A' is manufactured at Plant 1000 except one operation.
Material 'A' has 5 operations in the routing. Operation 1 to 3 will be performed in Plant 1000, 4th operation will be performed in Plant 1100 and the last operation will be done in Plant 1000.
In the 4th operation of routing, i have given the Plant as 1100 and the work center available at 1100 so that the capacity requirement will be booked at plant 1100.
My problem is how to track the Material movement from one plant to other plant. The material movements are as follows:
1. Sending the material from plant 1000 to 1100
2. Making sub-contracting challan for excise purpose.
3. Receiving the material at plant 1100
4. Sending back the material from plant 1100 after processing
5. Receiving the material at plant 1000
Please guide me to solve the issue.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

Hi Raj,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried the same, but problem is the receiving plant 1100 is not having any entries of Goods receipt and returning the goods to the plant 1000.
What i did was,
1. I created the plant 1100 as a vendor and assinged in the routing operation no. 4 with the control key PP02.
2. System has generated a Pur Req in the operation, then i did the regular External processing.
The problems in the above method are,
1. i am not able book the capacity of the plant 1100 since i am giving the control key PP02, system is not accepting the other plant and its work center in the routing.
2. There is no entry of the goods receipt and goods issue from the plant 1100 to Plant 1000.
Please suggest me a solution.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

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.

Interplant sub-contracting scenario

hi,
how to set-up inter-plant sub-contracting.
from plant-1 materials will be sent to plant 2.
In plant -2 processing will be done and send back the finished goods along with scrap if any to plant-1.
pl explain the scenario in detail - step by step (with T,codes) if u know the solution.
thanks
mohan

In plant A for material M1 (finish) define with special procurement key (stock transfer from plant B) in MRP2 view from plant B. (If it is MRP relevant)
I am sure you know the config of Stock transfer
Create the sub contracting PO as like out side vendor for plant B (make sure you have created the Plant B as vendor also and plant A is customer also and all config has been done for STO.) with second line item for the scrap if you are systematically do otherwise just receive with 501 movement
Then follow the same process as regular sub contracting process

GL account doesnt exist in company code-error in Sub contracting PO.

While doing GR for the sub contracting PO, I am getting this error for line item 4: GL account 490237 is doesnot exist in company code 0600.
3 line items are already recieved to the GL account 490223 which is correct.
for 4 th line item when i am going to do the GR the above error is occuring,
I have checked the FRL setting for Valuation grouping code VB01 with 490237; it should be acually 490223.
Where can I see the changes relevant to that, all of a sudden GR is asking for the new GL account than the one which use to posted earlier? Pls help me experts.
Thanks
Sri

The correct G/L account is 490223, so far posted with. what changes went to production I dont know
Valuation grouping code in obyc is VB01 490237 (at present for FRL)
VB02 490223 (at present fro FRL).
due to which all of a sudden its looking for 490237 which is not correct.
after our EHP5, is this got changed to vice versa?
Thanks
Sri

Sub-contracting at two different vendors directly monitored by the company.

Initially the raw material is supplied to a sub-contracting vendor A by the company to process it. After vendor A finishes processing it, the material will be shipped by vendor A to vendor B on behalf of the company for further processing which marks the end. The material carries the same name X throughout the process flow. The company should be able to monitor the stock at both the sub-contractors A and B at any given point of time. However, the company pays both the vendors A and B through separate invoices.
How do we realize this in SAP MM.

I'm not sure what you mean by the material having the same name, but the process is like this:
BOM 1: Header=FG, son=SFG (assembled by vendor A)
BOM3: Header=SFG, son=RawMaterial
FG: Procurement type F, Special procurement=30 (subcontracting)
SFG: same
Create subcontracting info records for both FG and SFG.
Then either from MRP or manually create PR\PO for both vendors.
Move stock of RM to A (transfer to subcontracting stock).
Do Goods Receipt of SFG into YOUR STOCK (even if the material doesn't really arrive), then move SFG to B (in the system). Physically material moves directly from A to B.
Last step, when FG arrives, you do again GR into your stock.

Inter company billing - how to post to GL accounts and not sub-ledger

Hi,
During Inter company billing, instead of creating Inter company customer and vendor invoice, there is requirement to post to Inter company GL accounts. How do we tweak the system to post to Inter company GL accounts instead of IC Customer/ Vendor?
Thanks,
Mukul

Use t-code OBYA and instead of vendor/customer accounts use GL Accounts. This should help you post directly to GL versus Customer/Vendors.

Sub-contracting scenario

Dear Gurus,
We have two manufacturing units,one is an EOU(Export oriented Unit) and the other NON EOU unit.
We get an export order (subcontracting order) for the EOU from a client in country X. Some of the processing is done in the EOU, and then sent to the Non-EOU.
How can I map the material movement between the two units?
Note: The material is maintained as a non-valuated material in both the plants. Since it is maintained as non-valuated, we cannot create a sub-contracting PO when sending the material from EOU to Non-EOU plant.
Regards
Ram

Hi,
I think you are speaking about two subconracting POs:
- one subcontracting PO was issued by your client to your company
- second subcontracting PO is becasue your company manages the production between the business units --> I think you are asking about this
Do the business units belong to the same company code (intra-company process)? If yes, there's no point in speaking about subcontracting.
Re: plant to plant subcontract
Even if it is inter-company (cross-company) process you shoul be able to send non valuated material (component) to special stock (OSS note 80267) via subcontracting PO or you can use STO (as in case of intra-company).
Please specify your question if my answer is not relevant.

Sub-contracting: difference in Accounting

Hi guys,
I am using release 4.7 and we are discussing about 2 different ways to proceed sub-contracting.
1. Sub-contracting is handled only in MM: PR>PO>GR
2. Sub-contracting is handled as an external operation in routing:
Prod.Order>PR>PO>GR>Confirmation of Prod.Order
In particular we would like to understand the different impact these two ways of managing Sub-contracting have in accounting especially in Cost of production and in cost of goods sold.
Could you kindly give me some clarifications?
Thanks in advance
Vir

Hi Sunil,
there is a particular thing I forgot to say that is Material Ledger. In my company we implemented it and all stock materials are managed with standard control key.
So at the end of month there is Variances Analysis and Distribution to materials with multi-level strategy.
What I want to know is if both methods of Sub-contracting fullfil the requirements of cost of production and cost of goods sold reconciliation .
Your precious answer is grateful

Inter company Billing document not created

Hi,
I am in a service industry project where invoicing is done through order ,no delivery takes place.I have done configuration related to inter company billing like Assign inter company billing type to Order ,assign plant sales area and internal customer to the ordering Sales Organisation.
After this we are able to invoice the external customer but when we are trying to create inter company billiing document through the same order a log is created which says"Item already fully invoiced"
What should i do now?
Plz suggest.
Regards,
Satya

Luk we are using quantity contract and through that we do DP91 for resource related billing which generate a Billing Request where sales document category is L (debit memo request) and then we billed that billing request to the end customer.But when i again use that billing request for inter company billing system says "item is fully invoiced"
Now tell me what should i do?

Inter Company Billing and automatic booking to Vendor master.

Hi,
Wish you a Happy New year,,,,,,,
We have done all the necessary configuration for generating Inter Company billing including the Cost booking to vendor Automatically.
There are certain points where I need some help,
1) During Idoc genration we are getting error related to Payment terms of Internal Customer.
If the payment terms is immidiate then only an Idoc is getting generated,,,,,,,,, else it is throwing an error message " status 51", but according to our business requirements it may be for any days and this may also impact our aging analysis and cash flows.
2) We have configured upto Third level of product hierarchy but while creating a contract if user maintains only upto first level, then release to account is not happening for inter company billing. Where as if user maintain upto third level there is no issue in the whole process of inter comapny billing.
Kindly suggest us how to restrict user to maintain product hierarchy pto third level during the creation of contract.
3) during the Inter company billing generation, if the internal customer is eligible for Tax exemption or tax booking, that is how to book the tax details to internal customer and also to vendor while booking the cost.Please let us know the logic for tax processign in Inter company billing and Idoc generation.
Awaiting for a favourable reply and thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Upendra.

Hello,
Did you assign the internal customer to the ordering sales organisation? If not, then create a customer in Delivering Sales org + DC+ Div + Plant and assign the same in the ordering sales organisation.
You can maintian the same in SPRO --> Enterprise structure --> Defenition --> Sales organisation (Enter internal customer).
Or
SPRO--> Sales and Distribution --> Billing ---> Intercompany billing --> Define internal customer

MTO Discrete Manufacturing with multiple plants and sub-contracting

Dear PP Gurus,
I am facing a problem, pl. help me out.
My Scenario is as follows:
I am having 4 plants with Make-To-Order Discrete Manufacturing scenarieo .
Suppose to manufacture a particular Product , there are 10 operations.The first 4 operations are carried out in Plant A, 5th and 6th carried out in Plant B, Operations 7 is Sub-contracted to a Vendor. After the job-work from Vendor, the job returns back to Plant A and the remaining operations are carried out in Plant A.
The whole scenario has to be mapped into SAP. Please guide me from the very beginning( Masterdata maintenance). Also, what shud be the MRP( Single-item multilevel or anything else)
Your help is highly required by me.
Thanks in advance,
Soumyendu

Hi Sadhukhan,
For external processing in different company code, u need to specify PP02 in the routing for external vendor. In PP02 control key indicator must be set in external opn. Before that create purchase info record. Enter subcontract info record in routing. After running MRP , convert the PR to PO. Send the material by MB1B by 541 mvt. Receive the material by MIGO by 101 mvt.
Reward if useful.

SAP standard report to show Inter Company transactions

Basically, we have two companies that are buying and selling between each other. One of the companies is a subsidery of the other. So, the parent(x) can sell or buy from it's sub(Y) and visa versa. At the end of the period, we need to consolidate both companies for reporting purposes, therefore there will be elimination entries which should be identified.
I need an SAP standard report to show these transactions which might still be sitting on each other books unsold

Dear :
We are using ECC 6 SAP version and we have the t code FBU3 for displaying all inter company transactions. Have you done necessary configuration in OBYF. You can display all related inter company transactions through FBU3.
Your 2nd query corresponds to same credit control area that was assigned to two company codes. In order extend credit limit for a customer who is extended on two company codes which have same credit area. It is not possible you distinguish credit limit for a customer who is extended on two company codes having same credit control areas. CCA is defined at organization structure level and for the distinction you will have to define new credit control area in customization at
enterprise level i-e
Enterprise Structure.... Definition.... Financial accounting....define credit control area
Assignment.....Assign credit control area to co code
Do necessary customization for SD module
and then in credit management for AR you will have to assign the credit control area to company codes i-e
Account Recv/A/c Payable.....Credit Management.... Assign permitted CCA to Co code
. This is the only way to to segregate customer credit limit for two company codes. Please revert in case of any confusion.

Sub contracting PO - MB1B - Accepts more than PO Quantity

Hi Gurus,
I made a Sub-contracting PO with BOM components. During the transfer of BOM components to vendor (MB1B - 541), the system accepts to transfer more than PO quantity to transfer.
How can we restrict this transfered quantity should not exceed PO BOM components quantity.
Regards,
VB

SAP does not store the PO number anywhere as a reference for the delivery/movement from your location to the subcontractor. Hence you have technically not really a chance to restrict it.
It might be possible with a user exit to check whether the the current quantity in the movement exceeds the compónent quantity. But if you do the same movement again in the next minute, then it will pass.
If you create a Z-table where you store the reference and the transferred quantity per PO, then you might be able to achieve your goal.
I personally like the SAP design as it fits to our requirements. we are a chemical company, to produce a certain finished material we need for example 23 kg of a component, however this component is packaged in a 50 kg drum.
we do not repack the component into smaller drums just to get the exact quantity to the subcontractor. we send the full drum, which would not be possible with your wanted restriction.
Our subcontractor does not just a one-time event of subcontracting, it is a recurring business, maybe 10 orders per month.
So it saves a lot freight costs to ship components for one or two month production to the subcontractor, even prior to any PO.
And we do not loose any money by sending more material, the stock at the subcontractor is our stock, is owned by us, it is not a gift that is given for free to a subcontractor
