Intercompany Billing - the scenario

Hi Gurus,
What are the different situations and scenarios which lead to intercompany billing in real time...
1. does shortage of a particular product - which incidentally also exists in supplying plant of another company code; -- lead to this scenario?
or
2. can a complete absence of a particular product can lead to this scenario of getting a particular product from another company which is not produced by ordering company?
please explain to me as I want to understand the logic behind extending the material of the supplying company to the ordering company, to show as if the material also exists in ordering company code...
Thanks in Advance,
Nazim.

Dear Nazim,
Scenerios, for Inter-Company Billing:
is it like the company had a similar material and the material is out of stock
and
is it that intercompany....is done when the material wanted by the customer does not exist in our company at all?
Definitely, YES.
Company A is selling own goods, but also goods from other companies. These materials are stored in plants linked to other company codes.
So an order can contain both materials belonging to company A as materials belonging to company B, reside in one logical system in the same client.
Normal sales works fine, because after the invoice is created, the system also creates an Intercompany Invoice (IV).
Best Regards,
Amit
Note: When dealing with different company codes, one may find a need to transfer stock between two different company codes. In case the stock is transferred between different company codes, a transfer of value occurs and is an intercompany sale (customer belongs to one company, stock in the plant to another).
Intercompany Transactions between two different SAP systems
Setup Idocs (you might use XI or other middleware) to handle the communication to load the IC transactions to the other system and vice-versa.

Need the exact difference betwn Intercompany Billing and Inter-project bill

Hi,
Can any one tell me the exact difference between the intercompany Billing and inter-project billing?
The decision to which should be used in which scenraios.
also what is the Setup Level Difference in both.
If you have any white paper / document / note in metalink also on this topic then I will be very happy to have that.
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi
Inter project billing may be used within the same operating unit.
Intercompany billing may be used only accross operating units.
Inter project billing means the provider organization is charging a separate provider project.
With intercompany billing provider organization is charging the same project as of the receiver organization.
With inter project billing the provider project may bill the receiver in any billing method as any contract project. With intercompany billing the billing is based on transfer price rules which may be only applied to actual expenditures of the provider organization.
There is full list of all setup steps in Oracle Projects Implementation user guide.

Dear Friends,

while the supplying plant creates delivery movt type 643 and after goods issue, I try to do a VF01
It throws up a pricing error.
I need to know how is the pricing determined & how does the movement type 643 ( stk trf with pricing )
connected with pricing.
Thanks Ravi

Hello Ravi,
Please review the note in this regard:
338922 Analysis note for Cross Company transactions
Especially,please be carefully review the following information
contained in this note.
(6) Conditions PI01/PI02/IV01/IV02
In the stock transfer process it may be required that the value
in the intercompany billing document corresponds to the value in
the stock transfer order.As of Release 4.0, you have the option
to copy conditions from the stock transfer order.For this, you
should use the 'Price source' field with setting 'A' (conditions
from purchase order) in Customizing in the copying control
(delivery to billing document).It is also useful to choose
pricing type 'G' here as well.
In more details,
1- In copy control for billing creation from replenishment cross company
delivery to intercompany billing, the field Price source must be 'A'.
2- in the same copy control the Pricing type is advisable 'G'.
3- make sure that both pricing procedures in billing and purchase have
the same condition.
Hope that the above information can be of help!

Pricing error in intercompany billing

My client is using the intercompany billing process.
There is a BOM item with item category group LUMF and the pricing happens at sub item level. In the sales order and the customer billing document the pricing happens at sub item level only.
But in the intercompany billing the pricing happens at both main item and sub item levels. The pricing procedure is dfferent here.
Both the sales pricing procedure and intercompany pricing procedure has the condition type ZI11. The requirement 22 is attached to the condition type at both the pricing procedures.
In the intercompany pricing procedure, subtotal L is assigned to the condition type ZI11.
The condition type ZI11 is configured as under.
Access Seq : ZI11
Condition class : B (Prices)
Cond category : C (Qty)
Rounding rule : commercial
Manual Entries : B (Automatic entry has priority)
Item condition
Amount / percent
Int-comp Billcond
Can anyone tell me why the item is priced at both main & sub item level in the intercompany billing.

Bala

Please check with the defination of the Item cateogry for the Main Item for the InterCompany Invoice.

Issue with Intercompany billing- Third Party

Hi Gurus,
       I have a SD flow for intercompany billing the below is the problem with it:
Assume: X as customer and Y as vendor in with different company code but in same client
1) Let as X get PO(Purchase order) for 20 item from one person and it make SO(Sales Order) for that person.
2) Now X makes one PO and sends to Y via idoc and Y makes SO for X and does deilvery to that person and while deliverying there was a batch split in delivery with 10 and 10 items
3) Now when Y does MIGO and MIRO via idoc then as there were 2 line items in delivery and when invoice was made it also had 2 lines items.
4) Idoc failed at this point of time as in actual PO from X to Y there was 1 line item and in incoive there where 2 line items
5) And thus no account posting was possible.
    I have ask SAP and he suggest not to do the batch split and its not advisable.
   Please reply me with some solution so that I can get rid of this problem.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi
I feel when ever you raise the PO, kindly confirm with vendor whether there is any batch process, if yes kindly update the same, when you creating the PO, so that when ever your doing GRN(MIGO), it will shows the available batch for this PO.
If you follow the same, then the account document will be posted. better to mention the batch at PO level, or otherwise if avoid the batch, then it may affect the GRN(MIGO).
Reward if it helps

Intercompany billing has 2 line items referring to the same salesorder item

Hi All,
I am posting Intercompany billing documents using Idocs. I am using the standard function module that creates INVOICE IDocs, but these Idocs are failing with error text "Document contains same order item more that once".
The problem lies here, the PO that is been used is a STO (Scheduling Agreement) and the inter company billing the line item has the same material repeated twice but change in the quantity field. So, when I am posting document using Idocs we come across a segment E1EDP01 which has your quantity, weight, line item number and other fields. This segment is getting repeated twice with two different outbound deliveries.
So, I think the solution is a mixture of both functional and technical....
So, what I am planning to do here is for this particular material when ever it comes across duplicate entries add all the quantities fields and other numerical fields in the user exit and then refresh the internal table and then enter new entries. This could be done, but I don't know what could be the functional implications if these changes are made.
Request you all to let me know what exactly needs to done in order to avoid these scenarios.
Raghuram.

Hi Raghuram,
I found a very important SAP Note 103051, details are below.
An IDoc processed by function module IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MM (of category INVOIC01) must not refer to the same purchase order item in several invoice items. This is also valid if for a goods receipt-related invoice verification several delivery notes belong to the same purchase order item.
Depending on the system settings and the situation, various error messages can occur (for example, FD240 'Order item ... selected more than once' or M8050 'Balance not zero: & debits: & credits: &').
In this situation module IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MRM generates error message M8321 'Document contains same order item more than once'.
For example, this situation occurs if you work with individual batch valuation and the SD billing document executes a batch split for different batches which belong to the same purchase order item and delivery.
Other terms
INVOIC, SAPLIEDI, M8047, M8, 321
Reason and Prerequisites
This is because of the program design.
Solution
There is no solution for IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MM.
Module IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MRM (only as of Release 4.0) for the logistics invoice verification can distinguish different goods receipts by means of the delivery note number. For this purpose, GR-related invoice verification must be active.
Owing to this symptom, billing documents for single batch valuation with batch split cannot be settled in MM-EDI inbound processing. The settlement generates exactly the situation described (several invoice items for the same purchase order item). In this case, the only solution is to deactivate the billing of the batch sub-items in SD Customizing and to calculate the main item only.
Hope this helps.
Reward if helpful.

Intercompany Billing Scenarios

Hi,
Need suggestion for inter company billing process from project. The scenario is as follows.
There will be two company code in the projects such as parent company & supply company under one controlling area. Parent company will do the billing to customer where as supplying company will provide resources to parent company. This will make revenue to supplying company & cost to parent company during execution of projects. The billing is milestone type. Project profitability is required for both parent & supply company code. In order to map the business process we need to create diffent WBSE with separate company code. Sale Order will be assigned to each WBSE for billing & revenue posting etc.
Please suggest for the above business scenarios.

Run the transaction code VA05. Click on the Further Selection Criteria, Select the check box 'Sales Document Type' and click OK. System will ask for the Sale Document Type. ENter the inter company Document Type, Press Enter and select the date range press Enter.

Billing Document not gettting generated in Intercompany Billing Scenario

Dear Experts,
I am trying to create Intercompany Billing Document with Billing Type IV, but unable to create the same. I have done all the necessary config. I am getting error as Sales Organization is not defined.
I have created normal billing document i.e. Invoice for End Customer but now i want to bill the supplying company code. So when i try to create Invoice wrt Delivery Doc., I get the above error i.e. Sales Org. not defined.
I have also maintained ordering company code as internal customer and maintained it for Supplying Company code.
Am I missing something plz let me know.
Thnx in advance
regards,
Sagar

Hi Abhijit,
the customer for the internal invoice will be determined from the "delivering" sales organisation (as mentioned above). You need
to create a customer with exactly the same address of the sales organization. Assign this customer no. to the delivering sales organisation (as mentioned above). Is your delivering plant in US? That's what I understood according to your explanation in the thread.
Your example
Sales organisation: 2000 Canada --> Cust.No. 5000 Canada
Delivering plant 3000 US --> Sales organisation 3000 --> Customer 5001 US
Customer: 6000 Canada
Sales order
Customer 6000
Sales organisation for sales order: 2000 Canada
Delivering plant: 3000 US
Delivery & Invoice to the customer (normal procedure)
Internal invoice
Sales organistion 3000
Customer 5000 Canada
--> The System needs to have assigned the billing sales organisation for the plant in US. Did You assign
the sales organisation? Futhermore the customer no 5000 (assigned to the sales organisation 2000) needs
to be maintained in the sales area of 3000 for the internal billing.
(the internal invoice is maybe complicated caused by tax requirments - internal invoicing between Canada und US)
hopefully this helps you.

InterCompany Billing issue for the Free Goods?

Hi All,
I created the info record (MM) for the free goods determination in the STO with Condition Type NR00. When I am creating STO for the stock transfer from one company code to other, the free goods are determing automaticaly, but while doing the Intercompany billing system is considering the price for the free goods also.
Please suggest How to configure to determine the free goods while doing the Intercompany Billing ?
Regards,
C S Javali

Hi Javail
Any have all free goods so you can create the po indicator with free goods in receiving plant.
after delivery from supplying plant, you have to do the GRN in receiving plant.
so supplying pant value of goods zero ( P101 CONDITION TYPE). in this you have to specify if any other charges like transport etc. then do the billing.

Intercompany billing exchange rate is not updated on change of the currency

Hi,
I create a intercompany billing via VF01 with reference to a outbound delivery, and the currency is picking up from the customer master which is USD. But I need to change the currency to be the same as the PO which is GBP. So I change the currency field from USD to GBP in VF01 (both header and item level), the exchange rate field remain unchanged and still showing the USD rate instead, and the price is wrong.
Anyone know what happend to this? Appreciate your advice.
Thanks,
YH

Hi Damu,
Once you change the header currency, line item currency will be changed also.
My problem is even I've change the currency to let say GBP, the exchange rate shown in the billing document is still in USD rate, but NOT in GBP rate.

Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party s

Hi Gurus,
Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party sales and give me a brief description with examples.
Regards,
YSR

Dear YSR
Check the links
[Cross Company Configuration|http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/500/Documentation/J62_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc]
[Third Party Without Shipping Notification|http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/html/J55_ThirdPartyWOSN_EN_US.htm]
Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1)
After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always followwing a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procument type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurment ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to confugure the item category determination
ord type + item cat grp + usge + Hiv level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN . + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevnat for billing indicator as F
Step 4)
The schedule line cateogry for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requision order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requiesion.
thanks

Pricing error in the intercompany billing

This message appear in the billing document IV " PR00 is missing". there is no problem in the order.
Using analysis of the pricing, this message appear
"Conditions of category b are not permitted in company code
XXX"
Xhat's missing.
Thanks.

Dear Omar,
"Conditions of category b are not permitted in company code
XXX"
This may be due to delivery cost related condition type is existing in your intercompany pricing procedure, so If you don't want this condition type remove from the pricing procedure or if you required this do the related configuration settings.
This message appear in the billing document IV " PR00 is missing".
If your redtermining the pricing procedure at billing,Please check the intercompany billing related pricing procedure and its determination settings.
Check, pricing procedure is redetermining or not.
Check the copy control settings about pricing procedure redetermination between delivery and billing through VTFL transaction.
Check the condition record of PR00 condition type.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.
