Intercompany - Project

Hi Gurus,
Our company currently does intercompany reconciliations outside SAP. In order to reduce future maintainance costs, and make full use of SAP functionality to meet legal transfer pricing requirements, we plan to move the IC processes into SAP. We are on ECC6.0, and we are multinational with entities on all major continents, and with a high amount of intercompany transactions.
Based on your experience, could you tell me how to approach the project? Specifically:
1. How to break up the project, to make it more manageble?
2. What areas will require the greatest amount of focus and resources?
3. What are the major pitfalls, if any?
4. Could you also tell me what the main funtionalities that SAP provides to achieve the same, and the high level requirements to implements each functionality.
My questions are mostly from a project management persprective. If, I've posted in the wrong forum, please direct me to the right one.
Thanks in advance. I look forward to your replies.

Hi
1. How to break up the project, to make it more manageble?
First check the effecting regions either currency wise / county wise / plant wise - have a seperate company code for each of those - also create a company for each legal company - in case plant wise which are relating to only legal company assign the company to all those company codes
2. What areas will require the greatest amount of focus and resources?
Major areas like AR & AP - create customer & vendors assigning the trading partner (nothing but company) at general data level - treat these C / V as affiliated companies.
SAP has the capablitiy of posting Cross company posting - assign the clearing accounts for each combination of company codes - wherever the possibility of transactions between two company codes
3. What are the major pitfalls, if any?
Defining the Company codes is the major thing - also defining the relevant transactions which are mandatory between the company codes - identifying the relevant reports related to this
4. Could you also tell me what the main funtionalities that SAP provides to achieve the same, and the high level requirements to implements each functionality.
SAP has below functionalities :
1) Cross Company Code postings
2) Document Splitting (which gives you the below company code level FS reporting) - ECC 6.0 (before ECC using SPL)
3) Parallel reporting - using different ledgers (non leading ledgers - ECC 6.0 (before ECC using SPL)
4) To achieve above things (3 & 4) new GL should get activate in ECC 6.0

Prevent automatic release of intercompany project

Hi,
Currently, when an intercompany project is created from a sales order, it is automatically released. The user does not have a chance to change the project ID due to this behavior. Is there any way to prevent this from happening i.e., the project should be created in In Planning status till it is manually released. I did not see any scoping or fine-tuning to achieve this. Thanks in advance and please let me know if more details are needed.
Regards,
Harish Toppae

perhaps I can better also explain the problem.
the process now is that there is a word marco with a fill in form that collects all the data necessary to process a request.
when all data is filled in the form (like 30 seperate fields) it is send to the administration who translate the form into a serviceorder and a purchaseorder with account assignment the purchase order after it is approved. the approval however for these orders goes on paper. (for example it is about construction works like building or renovations)
Now the idea was to make the approval process digital.
first option: release strategy on PR's
problem : no knowledge on how to set this up available in the company ( I also tried to figure it out, any guide for dummies on this is appreciated)
second option:
Sent PR to SRM and let SRM do the release strategy.
advantage:
- users can approve just by clicking approve in email, they don't have to login to srm for this. (is that also possible in R3 ?)
- knowledge on how release strategy works in srm is available.
- easy to trace the approval workflow for a user.
When I think of it perhaps I can also create a shoppingcart straigth away from R3 with the bapi and skip the PR at all
BAPI_SCEC_CREATE or with BBP_PD_SC_CREATE.
third option:
programm BSP for the requirement is quite challenging since all the fields that are required before a PR or SC can be created is quite a lot. further on I have to programm the generation of a serviceorder in the backend and return the number to be set as accounting order.
if you have any other suggestions they are also more than welcome.
ps nice a pdf with instructions on how to implement enhancements which are not copy pastable
kind regards

Queation on Intercompany Projects

Hi Experts,
Could someone suggest me if there is a way to create an event against an intercompany project. We have tried creating a manual event but the project did not show up in the list of values of the events window.
Please let us know if there is a way to create an event for intercompany projects by using billing extension or any other means.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
There is no simple solution I know of.
You may consider the following approaches.
Solution A:
Stay with cross charge and intercompany billing.
Set up two special expenditure types that will be used to hold the markup amount. For each provider organization enter two EI's on the project, for 1000 USD on expenditure type A and -1000 USD for expenditure type B. You might need to enter such pair of expenditure items each period before running the cross charge and intercompany billing.
Develop a client extension for the transfer price rule of the cross charge. The logic will be to leave transfer price equal to the provider cost for all expenditure types. But for expenditure type A, calculate the markup amount that cover the summary of all regular costs on that period.
The EI's for expenditure types A & B should get the same GL accounting so they will not affect project cost. However the transfer price of the positive EI will be added to the intercompany invoice.
Solution B:
Setup the cross charge rules to use burden schedule with zero multiplier, so the cross charge transactions will equal the provider organization cost. The intercompany invoices will include those costs without any markup.
The calculation of the markup amount and invoicing for that amount will be done separately, in additional invoices.
For that setup provider projects in the provider organizations. the provider project setup will be set to bill a receiver project and task which is the original project where work is perform. Those provider projects will not be chargeable.
Develop a billing extension that will be linked to the GDI and GDR of the provider projects. The billing extension will find the intercompany invoice of the provider organization, and calculate the markup amount that need to be added to the selected invoice cost amount. The billing extension will generate an event for the markup, and may also update a reference or attribute on the event to indicate which intercompany invoice was in its base.
When you run the GDI for the provider project, you will get internal invoice going to provider AR and from there to receiver AP. The inter-project invoice is interfaced to PA in the receiver project and charge the receiver project, which is the original project (not the intercompany project).

Intercompany project -Intercompany invoices

Hi ,Can any one of you help me with the process steps for intercompany billing project..
I am unable to create the revenue budget in the Provider OU project ,and unablet to create EVENT.
will be glad if anyone could guide me in this.
Thx&Rgrds
Ramaa

Hi
I assume you want to implement cross charge functionality between separate operating units.
For that you need to setup in the provider OU a separate project for each receiver OU. The projects must be of special project type, which has check box as InterCompany billing project enabled.
On such projects you are not supposed to create a budget, nor to enter events. Those projects are used by the system as a place to hold the cross charge invoices generated out of the actual projects. Actual projects are the projects of the receiver OU, which yor provider OU had charged.

Project intercompany invoice generation is fetching error

Hi,
I am trying to generate intercompany invoice from the intercompany billing project and getting the error "The Project has no eligible or events".
While I was checking the implementation guide for any possible error in the setups, I found below details in R12 project implementation guide.
”To define agreements for intercompany billing, enter the receiver operating unit as the
customer, and an agreement type defined for intercompany billing"
I am little confused If I can use an operating unit as a customer to define an agreement.
In my current setups, I have created an agreement with the customer associated to the intercompany project and used this agreement to fund the intercompany project.
Please help.
Regards,
Mukesh

Hi
The intercompany project (A) is not the contract project (B) that you execute for an external project. On Project B you will charge the resources and track the costs of both, the receiver operating unit and the provider operating unit.
Project A is a special project, where the project type is a specific one for intercompany billing. This project A should be setup in the provider operating unit and its project customer should be another operating unit, the receiver operating unit. The receiver operating unit should be set up also as the agreement customer.

Intercompany necesities generation

Hello there,
I have some problems with the necessities generation for intercompany purchase orders. The situation is:
- The material for this scenario has in its strategy group MTO as first strategy in plant 1 and MTS as first strategy in plant 2.
- There is a sales order for the material in plant 1. This sales order generates a planned order assigned to the sales order.
- Instead of produce the material in plant 1 (convert the planned order into production order), it is decided to purchase this material in plant 2. To do this an intercompany purchase order will be created.
- The intercompany purchase order is assigned to the sales order.
- In plant 2, as the material is MTS, the MPS instead of creating a planned order assigned to the sales order, the non assigned stock in plant 2 is giving availability to the Intercompany purchase order.
I would like to know if there is a possibility to decide in the intercompany purchase order if the MPS should generate an assigned planned order or if the non assigned stock should give availability to the intercompany purchase order.
The material in plant 2 has defined as first strategy a MTS strategy and MTO strategy as second one.
In sales it is possible to determine the transfer of necessities depending on the schedule line type. Is it possible to change this information in the intercompany purchase order?
Thanks
Laura

Project with Resource Related Intercompany Billing (D48)

Have BP-ERP 604V1, and BP-SOLBLD 70V1 installed. Was able to install baseline package for Germany V1.604, including scenarios and building blocks.
Now attempting to ...
- locate where best practice for project with resource related intercompany billing (D48)
- this would include scope (.xml file) and script files (.txt file)
We have downloaded the Best Practices for Mining for service marketplace. I can see D48 files in the extraction once complete. The challenge is that I cannot seem to find the .xml file solution file to import. If I could, I would then follow similar process that I did for baseline package for Germany V1.604.
Does anyone have any insights to the how one gets this loaded? I see a .bpp file, but was expecting an .xml file. I see the opportunity to import via Solution --> Import, but this is looking for .bps file as option other than .xml file.
Appreciate any tips on this one.
Thanks,
Jason

Hi JP,
Thanks for your feedback,My scenario is like this,We have a Centralized Company which would be delivering directly to the Customers in other Countries through their plants through Plant abroad concept for Local companies in other countries who would be acting as Selling agents for a commision.
I would require to design a Intercompany Invoice(Revenue Less Commison) where I require the revenue from the Customer Invoice to be transferred on the Intercompany invoice.That is all the pricing conditions are required to be copied from Customer invoice to inter company Invoice.
Looking forward to your advice.
Thanks and Regards

Intercompany Implementation Options (in Projects) vs GIS

Our company is project based and we utilize the intercompany billing between OUs. We've defined our Provider and Receivers in our Project module Implementation Options. We don't import any other non-Oracle intercompany transactions via interfaces. We've defined our AutoAccounting rules and clearing accounts. Can you tell me what we are doing differently than in GIS? What is GIS ?

If these are full size images, you really don't need to go above 300 ppi. I would save as TIFF or PSD unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so. JPEG applies compression every time you save and close the image, so you'll want to convert to another format for working anyway, and storage is cheap now. (There's a difference between ppi and dpi, although scanner makers ignore it. You want the highest possible dpi when printing, but the human eye cannot distinguish much difference when you go above 300 ppi. If you want to make extra sure, go to 600, but that's not going to provide more useful information to a printer, really. Mostly just a much larger file size.)
I would also scan in color. When you scan in greyscale you are saving much less information, and you might want that someday.

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.
Regards

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.

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.

How to Associate Project and Expenditure Org to Legal Entities

This question is related to the "Derive Legal Entity from Organization Setup" Implementation Option for Intercompany Billing.
Does anyone know how Proj/Exp Orgs are associated to Legal Entities? I believe Legal Entities are defined in GL Accounting Setup Manager, not in HR. So how does the system link a Proj/Exp Org defined in HR to a Legal Entity in GL?
The guide states: "This option provides cross charge for intercompany billing within an operating unit and across legal entities by deriving legal entities from project and expenditure organizations. If an organization is not associated with legal entity establishment, then the legal entity from the operating unit is used by default."
Regards,
Adrien

Shaan- the Org Hierarchy is where I can't see the connection: Legal Entities in the org hierarchy are HR organizations, but Legal Entities used in Intercompany Billing setup (e.g. Provider/Receiver Controls page) are GL Legal Entities setup in Accounting Setup Manager. Do you know how does the system connect HR LEs to GL LEs?

Adrien

Real life SD Project - Gurus requested to give brief feedback

Hi,
Please read the real life SD - FICO scenario given below and if you think you have the solution, kindly state your suggestion. Would be much appreciated.
===================================================
Engineering Services Orders (Inter-company)
Process Steps (As-is)
1.Purchase Order is received in Co. A via EDI, from Co. B
2.Sales Order (services) is automatically generated in Co. A. It has item 10 as hours and item 20 as travel expenses in $ amount
Sales accounting creates settlement rule and internal order number and advises the engineers who will provide the services
3.Later on, engineers report actual hours for services rendered, by using CATS system This merely reports data in SAP system but does not make an FI posting
They use the order number advised to them in step 2 to create an internal order
4 Actual travel expenses are added by Payroll - as a direct posting to FI
5. Periodic CATS batch job is carried out by relevant IT person, to settle costs to an internal order (not to sales order). These costs are labor hours and travel expenses
6. FICO personnel then do transaction K08G to settle internal order --> sales order
7. (Manual Step) Sales Accounting then runs report KVBI to view and select data related to service orders The data is downloaded to an Excel worksheet and handed over to SD-Billing.
8. (Manual step) The cost data in dollar figures is converted to hours by SD-Billing, dividing cost data with rate / hour given in the sales order condition record
9. SD-Billing creates invoice. Since it is order-related invoice, it has open quantities coming in from the order. These are now manually over-written / replaced with the actual data from step 7 & 8. An invoice is thus, generated for each order individually.
Process (To-be)
To create an interim document (billing request?) to replace manual steps 7 and 8. This interim document needs to capture actual cost data form the system and also show the remaining / open quantities from the sales order
QUESTION: what is the best route to go?
Configure a Billing Request document (by modifying a standard Credit Memo Request / Debit Memo Request) or
Going via the route of resource-related billing?

Refer to the document: J48 - Project with Intercompany Billing
Link: http://help.sap.com/bp_blv1500/BL_India/index.htm
This is a very good document for guidance.
