Intercompany procurement

Hi,
I am creating intercompany procurement scenarios between 2 company codes but I want to activate free goods functionality.
However based on that I create delivery in vl10b and when I do proforma invoice using VF01, i AM GETTING AN ERROR-iTEM IS NOT RELEVANT FOR BILLING.
Kindly inform how to remove this error so that for free goods STO I can execute

Hi,
When it is a free item then why are you creating the billing document?
Unless you have delivery costs you will not be able to bill for this material right.
See either delivery costs are maintained or not.
Thanks,
Satya.

Intercompany Exchange of NLAG materials or free text items

Hi,
in my company we have set up the intercompany procurement process according to the SAP standard. Means when one company places a PO with another group company (different comp code) a delivery is created against this PO. Now the companies want to start procuring either NLAG materials or free text items which leads to an error message ME124 "Material not subj. to inventory mgmt. in plant" for NLAG or error 06806 "Procurement w/o material from vendor with plant assignment not defined".
Any ideas how to overcome this?
Regards,
St

Hello Stefan Teckenbr,
Please do the above necessary customization
Go into IMG > Logistics general > material master > Basic Settings > material type > Define Attributes of Material Types
Select your material type and click Quantity/Value update.
Hope this helps.

PO with account assignment Category M

Hi Friends,
In an intercompany stock transer scenario for a PO with account assignment category M, can the receiving plant receive the goods before the supplyig plant issues it? In my case it's happening only for POs with account assignment category M, so I wanted to consult you all if this is possible per standard SAP functionality.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Yes this is standard functionality only. and this is not an intercompany procurement.
This is something like a Individual purchase order process. Using Item category TAB in the sales order.
In this process Goods receipt is done before you perform the goods issue to the customer.
In an inter compnay PO process the process starts with creation of a PO and not SO. where as you are creating a SO beofre the PO, and using the SO as an account assignment object.
Thanks & Regards

Intercompany asset procurement

Dear All,
<h3>Data :</h3>
Company Code A. Plant A
Company Code B. ( no plant exist )
Asset Number in CoCode B = 123000A
<h3>Scenario :</h3>
Purchaser that belong in CoCode A want to procure asset material with asset no 123000A for CoCode B.
<h3>Problem :</h3>
If i create asset master in the same co code that purchaser belong , and it work succesfully.
But, Is it possible to procure with scenario above ( intercompany transaction ) ?
Thank your for your kind help and attention..

Anggara Mahardika

Hi,
This is happended due to wrong selection of check box like GR non valuated in item detail section of your PO line item.
Check your PO, for your PO item, go to item detail section, under delivery tab, there will be a check box named GR non valuated...This must have been unchecked while creation of your PO. Since there will not be any accounting document during MIGO in this case.
Create another PO with corect settings as suggested in your sandbox and feel the difference.
This will solve your issue.
Thanks,

Automatic creation of intercompany PO when creating a Sales Order

Hi Experts
Is there a standard way of triggering an intercompany PO when creating a sales order to the final customer (or the other way around, triggering a sales order to the end customer upon creation of an intercompany PO)? Scenario: business has setup a logistics company (company code X), which its purpose is to deliver goods to the final customer (home customers). However, sales orders are created from seperate chain of stores which belong to another company code (company code Y). This chain of stores have one sales organisation (since there is over 1000 stores under a chain). I need a way to represent that a sale originated from a store/plant belonging to company Y to end customer A. Also, I need a billing document (intercompany) from company code X to store/plant beloning to company Y.
Issues: in the intercompany config (assign intern customer numbers to sales org) - is there a way to assign a customer number at site/plant level so that when creating an intercompany billing it can be picked instead of the one assigned to the sales org and where can this be specified in the sales order (remember: in my scenario there are multiple stores/plants that belong to one sales organisation and it is not possible to use one customer number linked to the sales organisation.)
Desired results:
Sales order from store/plant YY belonging to company code Y to end customer A
Intercompany billing from plant XX belonging to company code X to store/plant YY
End customer billing from store/plant YY to end customer A
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello Tsmash
I think you can acheive this with Regular Sales order + Inter Company STO combination.
Maintain customer numbers for each of the Plants from Company Y for the sales area belonging to Company X.
Then do the config for STO in MM using this menu path:
SPRO/Materials Management/Purchasing/Purchase Order/Set up Stock Transport Order
Here, in the activity 'Define Shipping Data for Plants', enter each of the plant-customers and the Sales area belonging to Comany code Y. Carry out other activities in this area appropriately.
Similarly set up Custom ( say Z1) Special Procurement type for Plant YY for stock transfer from XX using this menu path:
SPRO/Production/Material Requirements Planning/Master Data/Define Special Procurement Type:
Here maintain procurement type as F, Special procurement as U and plant as XX. You may need to repeat this config for each of the receiving plants (over 1000 stores under a chain) from co code Y.
In the material master MRP 2 for Plant YY, maintain procurement type as F and Special Procurement as Z1.
Sales order will be received under Co Code Y and sales area belonging to Y form customer A,
Because of the MRP config, a PO (STO) requirement will be raised on Co code X and plant XX. XX will send the goods to YY via a STO delivery using the Shipping data from 'Set up STO' config,
Plant YY will send the goods to A and bill that customer. Co Code X will raise an inter-comany bill on Co code Y.
That's how it should work. Try it and revert with any issues.

Material types in intercompany/external scenario

Hi everybody,
we have 5 vertically integrated plants on-hand, i.e. there is one assembly plant which is supplied by two others, which themselves are supplied by the remaining two. Each supplying plant delivers not only to the plant "above" it, but also to external customers. This means that its finished goods are semi-finished/raw materials for the plant "above" and finished goods for the external customer.
Now our problem is, that engineering adds a flavor to the whole story. They don't allow for multiple material numbers, if it is the same part. By this they want to prevent the situation that every plant needs to maintain their material master (otherwise I could maintain my material locally and buy/sell the goods to the plant above). Instead we're supposed to use intercompany stock transfer orders with the same material number.
Did anybody face that situation before? What are the best practices in this situation? Do I create a z-type that allows for all views to be maintained? I'm kind of lost here...
any help is greatly appreciated!
BR,
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
I am working for a Retail which has more or less a similiar requirement.
You should create a Z type material with Semifinished materials views and Finished materials. This will allow you to have production and sales views for all materials. Basic Data will be common for all plants but then you will have specific sales - procurement - MRP - Quality and Accounting views based on Plant and Sales organization.
You will have to be very carefull with data migration (As every plant will have it material master and it will be difficult to find out which are similar materials!!!!!)
In order to plan the different materials you should configure the last finished material as supplied by the "Supplying plant" and the same for dependant materials!.
You can do this with "Special Procurement in MRP 2 View".
You will have to configure a Special procurement key for each supplying plant!.
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide --> Materials Management --> Consumption-Based Planning -->Master Data -->Define Special Procurement Types
Special procuremente
Procurement = F
Special procurement = U
Plant = "Supplying Plant"
So for an intermediate plant you will see in the MD04 the demand comming from you sales orders as well as the demand of the upper plants as stock transport order.
You should assign to each plant a Client so as to match FI documents and invoicing.
Kind regards,
Federico

Automatic creation of transportation lanes betwen intercompany plants

Hello Experts,
I need to create transportation lanes automatically through integration model between two intercompany plants. The relation between these two plants are of vendor--> customer in ECC and the documents used are of sales / PO type. Source list is availalbe for the purchasing plant. Is it possible to create transportation lane using source list? If this requires an enhancement, which BAdI is applicable?
Regards,
Raghavendra

What is the Purchasing Document used - Purchasing Info Records or Contracts? You can CIF any of these to APO to create Procurement Relationships which in turn automatically creates Transportation Lane. You have to assign Means of Transport manually though. Note - T Lanes created with reference to Contract are however not used by SNP for source determination.
The other option is Special Procurement Key - if assigned in Material Master will automatically create TLane in APO when Materials are CIFed. Downside of that process is no control on TLane Validity Date and / or other Planning Parameters like Lot Size / PDT.
As for creation of T Lane based on Source List - SAP Help mentions it can be used but have not seen in any live project so cannot comment.
Hope this helps.

Proper stock transfering not happening for intercompany

Hi Friends,
When I executed the scenario of procure to pay using replenishment for intercompany am getting the proper result step by step in IDES for standard document type (NB for PO).
Now I have created my own document type for PO and have assigned it to sites and sales area.
With standard document type (NB PO)
After executing replenishmenmt run I am getting standard PO type (NB) say xxxxxxxxx.
Now I created outbound delivery-->then picking and PGI. Now my stock is got reduced from supplying DC (say by 5 nos) and this stock is now under transit (can check thru MB5T). and total stock is also decreased by 5 nos.
Now to move this stock to receiving store I did GR against delivery and now after this stock in store is increased by 5 nos and hence total stock is also increased by 5 nos.
Now after checking MB5T i found there is no stock in transit.
Now I have tested this scenario for my own document type (say std PO type A)
Now std PO type A is successfully generated after executing replenishment run thru WRP1.
Now I created delivery then picking then PGI. Now I checked and found that stock from supplying DC is decreased by (say 5 nos) and stock in receiving store is increased by 5 nos in one shot and I could not find any stock in transit since its happening in one shot .
Now I need ur inputs if i am missing something becoz it shud happen in two parts first after doing PGI stock shud decrease from supplying DC (say for 5 nos)and that stock shud come under stock under transit (can check in MB5t) and that stock from transit shud go to receiving store once i will do GR against delivery.
Any pointers.
Regards
Ashutosh

Hi,
It seems that for your Site for the stock transfer order the "One-step Stock transfer" is ACTIVE. kindly remove the same and u will have the desired result.

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.

Kit Management in Intercompany Replenishment

Dear Gurus,
I've this problem:
I'm mananging the kits in normal sales with a main item categories with structure scope B (explode multi level BOM) so that, when the sales order is created it born with all materials of the BOM. In the item category assignment I'm managing the item categories types of the components in the BOM.
And, refereed to this sales order, the outbound delivery is created correctly, with all components of the BOM (BOM is a Sales BOM)
When I created a purchase order for intercompany replenishment, when i create the referred outbound delvery(with transaction VL10B) the delivery is created with the main material only, without all components.
How is possible to have all components in outbound delivery?
I need the BOM explosion in the outbound delivery created from the Purchase Order
Regards
Could you help me?
Thanks

As I understand you want to have BOM explosion in purchase order, something similar to sales BOM.
As per my best knowledge this functionality does not exist in standard system. You can explode only subcontracting BOM in PO but of course those components are to be provided and not procured.
There might be industry specific solutions in which you may get this (functionality), e.g. structured article in IS-Retaik:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/2b/b03886df3611d1953b00a0c930e0da/frameset.htm
And it's also a good question how SAP APO can handle this problem.

Intercompany STO with consignment processing

Has anyone faced this situation? I have a client who would like to use consignment processing for VMI orders but as the goods do not get stored at the sales organzation/plant/company code that owns the order - they need to procure the goods from another company code? This is almost a mixture of the Intercompany sales process and VMI processing in ECC... Thoughts?
Example:
Company, plant A / Customer 999999999 / Part A - Stock "0"
Company, plant B / Part A - Stock "1000 pieces"
Preferred Sequence:
1. Create the VMI fill-up order KB for customer 999999999 (delivering plant is B, but the sales order belongs to sales org "A")
2. Create the delivery for the VMI fill-up order from plant b
3. Post goods issue for delivery from plant b
4. Create an IC billing document IV between company code B and A (for the goods that have shipped to the customer's consignment location for company A)
5. In MMBE see that the goods are consigned to customer 999999999 for plant A and NOT plant B. Currently, it is not treating the delivery as an intercompany order (as it is consignment and still owned by the other organization). The stock shows under consignment at plant B.
We are trying to decrease the steps from standard processing which would be the following:
1. Create the VMI fill-up order KB for customer 999999999 (delivering plant is B, but the sales order belongs to sales org "A")
2. Create the delivery for the VMI fill-up order from plant b
3. Create an IC STO from Company B to Company A
4. Create a delivery to move the goods from B to company A.
5. Create and IC billing document
6. Post GR for the goods when they arrive in company A.
7. PGI the delivery for the delivery from step 2 to move the goods into consignment.
8. In MMBE see that the goods are consigned to customer 999999999 for plant A

Hi Manoj,
Please confirm the following for your set-up
I have configured same consignment process for our client.
the process flow like this
--> Fillup order
-->Fillup delivery
-->STO (Purchase order) (through batch job) ***DID YOU RUN MRP AT THE RECEIVING PLANT TO CREATE THE IC STO? WHAT MASTER DATA SET-UP/CONFIG DID YOU PUT INTO PLACE? FOR CONFIG, I AM ASSUMING THE STANDARD IC STO CONFIG IN THE MM/PURCHASING/IC STO SECTION...
--> replanishment delivery (through batch job)
PGI of rep delivery
--Intercompany invoice if intercompany sales.
-->MIGO****SOUNDS LIKE THIS WAS STILL A TWO STEP PROCESS TO MOVE THE GOODS INTO THE RECEIVING PLANT WITH A GR USING MIGO AND THEN THE FOLLOWING STEP YOU MENTION BELOW TO MOVE THE STOCK TO THE CUSTOMER'S CONSIGNMENT LOCATION. IS THAT CORRECT?
--MB1B with movement type 631 (through batch job)****HOW DID YOU CREATE THE BATCH JOB TO POST THE MOVEMENT? THIS IS USUALLY A TRANSACTION RUN MANUALLY (UNLESS YOU HAVE CREATED AN INTERFACE THAT HAS THE INFORMATION TO POST)...

Oracle Procurement/Sourcing :- Need advise on an implementation design

Dear Guru's,
Need advise on an implementation design
Problem Summary :-
Our client(say "X") is contracted to perform certain business functions for their client (Say"Y")
Say "X" is do sourcing (RFP,RFQ) functions till PO creation,receiving in a excel based custom application ( Not through oracle EBS) for client "Y".
So "X" is not responsible for paying for those services and "Y" pays for those receipts.
We want to implement Oracle EBS Advance procurement solution for their above functions and replace the custom application processes.
But client "X" is not accepting advance procurement solution as they("X") are not paying for the services and they don't want to fit this solution in Oracle EBS as this may cause legal issues.
Questions:-
1. Whats the best design solution for this type of scenario to fit the custom process into Oracle EBS procurement ?
2. Can we follow the sourcing implementation process(RFQ/RFP)-> PO Creation-> PO receipts-> AP Invoice matching in Oracle EBS and is there a way to nullify this transaction in Oracle so that there will not be any legal issues? May be creating credit memo/AR invoice etc...
Appreciate your help!
Thanks

Hi All,
Once basic question on the centralized procurement model. Please advise.
Scenario :- Two OU(OU1- Requesting OU and OU2- Purchasing OU) Scenaio:-
1
Purchase Requisition in OU1
2
AutoCreate PO in OU2
3
Approve PO in OU2
4
Receive the material in INV1 of OU1
5
Supplier sends the invoice to OU2
6
Cost the transactions
7
Run ‘Create Intercompany AR invoices in OU2
8
Run ‘Auto Invoice Master Program in OU2
9
Run ‘Create Intercompany AP invoices in OU1
10
Run ‘Expense Report Import in OU1
Question:-
1. After step 5(Supplier sends the invoice to OU2) who will do the payment for supplier and what's the process?
2. I could see the intercompany invoice process in further steps which creates invoices, but not sure on how supplier payments are paid.
In which step the paymens(Supplier, Intercompany) are processed.
Please advise!

Third party+ intercompany STO with billing ???????

Hi Experts.
Would like to take ur inputs.
My Client has 2 Company Codes 1000 and 2000
The 1000 Company code has 2 Distribution Centres- A001, A002.
And Company Code 2000 has 2 Sites-B001, B002.
My Client 1000 Company Code procures on Behalf of 2000 Company Code and sales the Material on a Specific Margin from 1000 Company code to 2000 Company Code.
Site B001( Company Code 2000 ) will raise P.O to Distribution Center A001 ( Company Code 1000 ) and then Distribution Centre A001 ( Company Code 1000 ) will raise P.O to the External Vendor.
a) How Can we inter-Link the respective transactions between Site B001 to Distribution Centre A001 and from Distribution Centre A001 to External Vendor ?
b) Is it Possible to Farward the raised P.O from Site B001 to Distribution Centre A001 to External Vendor ?
Please advice your valuable input on this.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards

Hanumant Nimbalkar,
1. a) How Can we inter-Link the respective transactions between Plant B001 to A001
Plant B001( Company Code 2000 ) will raise P.O to Plant A001 ( Company Code 1000 )
We use the Inter Company stock Transfer with Billing
Partis involved:
1. End Customer
2. Supplying Plant
3. Receiving plant
2. from A001 to External Vendor
Plant A001 ( Company Code 1000 ) will raise P.O to the External Vendor.
We use Third Party process
Process.
1. First Company code 2000 - Plant B001 will raise a P.O to Company Code 1000 - Plant A001
2. The Company code 1000 Receives the PO and Finds it has not stock within its plant
3. The company code 1000 will raise a new PO with reference to PO sent by Company code 2000 to its vendor.
4. The Company code 1000 asks the vendor to deposit the material in their plant site.(by providing plant A001 Address)
5. The Vendor will raise an invoice to the Company code 1000
6. Now From the company code 1000, from plant A001 STO will be performed keeping receiving plant as 2000
7. An Intercompany invoice will be raised by plant 1000 to plant 2000
8. The Plant 2000 after the receipt of the material / invoice will pay to Company code 1000
9. The Company code 1000 in return will settle the vendor invoice.

Intercompany sales in SD

Dear all,
I have a question to ask you about intercompany sales. This intercompany sales process has the following process.
A customer orders place an order from a sales org A. The sales org has a warehouse/production plant that will produce and deliver the goods. However, this delivery plant belongs to a different company code.
Example: Sales Org A  Company Code 1001; Delivery Plant B  company code 2001
The goods are produced / contained here and delivered from the production/warehouse plant directly to the customer. Finally, the sales org create a billing invoice to send the invoice to the External Customer, and the delivery plant will have to create a billing invoice to send the invoice to the Sales Org (i.e. Intercompany billing).
My question:
1 u2013 Is it standard SAP practice in intercompany sales scenario in which there is no PR and PO create to get the goods from the production/Delivery plant? (Reason I am asking this is because there is PR and PO generated for Third Party Dropship and Third Party Processing which involve external vendor to deliver the goods, i.e. with item category TAS and TAB)
2 u2013 What if I want the system to generate a PR and PO upon my sales order creation, is this possible?
Thanks
Tuff

Hi,
2 u2013 What if I want the system to generate a PR and PO upon my sales order creation, is this possible?
for this-
S it is possible based on the requirement you can create PR and PO to create sales order-but there is always required to create PR/PO to procure from externally from other vendors.which is done by MM/SD .but in inter company there is no external vendor with in the group of companies the products are produced to the customer,here no involvement of MM.
1 u2013 Is it standard SAP practice in intercompany sales scenario in which there is no PR and PO create to get the goods from the production/Delivery plant? (Reason I am asking this is because there is PR and PO generated for Third Party Dropship and Third Party Processing which involve external vendor to deliver the goods, i.e. with item category TAS and TAB)
for this-
Exactlly there is no need to create PR/PO in intercompany sales
Thank you,
