Intercompany Sales triggers STO

Hello All!
Could some Guru explain me why nobody uses the Item Category in Purchasing Document: Stock Transfer in the shedule line for do and Intercompany scenario?
I mean why is not possible to do:
Sales Order in company A
Triggers STOreq in Company B
ME59N converts into PO and STO
VL10G converts into delivery
Can you please provide me your opnion?
Thanks

Here are my 2 cents
If you were to use standard Sales order / Purchase order process instead of STO, this is what will happen,
1. MRP generated Purchase requisition could be assigned to any vendor (external or internal.)
There is no way to prevent assignment to a external supplier. With item category U used in STO, Purchase req can be
converted to a STO only and not to a normal purchase order.
2. User will have to create two deliveries. One outbound from supply plant and other inbound at receiving plant.
3. there will no visibility of stock in transit.
4. SAP would trigger inspection type 01 instead of type 08. Usually 01 inspection is more stringent.
5. I am sure there would be accounting impact also.

Difference between intercompany sales and STO (inter)?

HI Experts
Can any one tell me what is the difference between between intercompany sales and STO(inter)?
LNaidu

hi..
Intercompany sales trans.
the customer orders stock from the sales org (3001)..that belongs to comp code 3000...the Sales org 3001 then creates the sales order and indicates the delivering plant as a plant that belongs to different company code i.e. 1000..
The sales org 3001 then invoices the customer for material purchased..the system automatically creates the inter-compnay billing doc at the same time as the customer's billing doc is created,,,This inter-compnay invoic ius sent from the delivering plant to selling sales org..
Two billing doc..1. standard customer billing doc that is sent from the sales org to the customer.
2. inter-compnay doc that is sent from delivering plant ot sales org..
Inter compnay STO..
comp code 3000 has plant 3000 creates purchase order to purchse stock from plant 1000 based in comp code 1000..
the stock is delivered to plant 3000. comp code 1000 then creates an inter compnay invoice and bills compnay code 3000 for the stock...
hope it works..
Thanks

Intercompany Sales Incoming Invoice references

Hi,
We have customized intercompany sales delivery related process.
We have completed SD steps successfully.
1.       Sales Order Creation
( Sales Org. 0001 in comp Code 0001, are delivered to customer from plant LY02 in comp code 002)
2.       Delivery
3.       Customer billing document
4.       Intercompany billing document
5.       Auto Incoming Invoice creation with RD04 output type
Now, what I do not understand is purchasing process that company code 0002 should create Purchase order, statistical goods receipt and incoming invoice.
I have searched oss notes and forums they all talk about incoming invoice creation with RD04.
I also completed EDI steps successfully that are triggered after RD04.
But it is not working now because I don’t have PO document yet.
I have 3 questions about this process.
Is it possible to create PO automatically?
If it is not how can I create PO document manually with reference to intercompany sales order? so RD04 finds PO and posts incoming invoice.
when should I create PO? (after creating sales order or delivery document).
Should we create statistical goods receipt document with PO reference ?
Thanks…

I have not completed the process yet.
I need an advice who have achived this before.
As I said before I customized delivery related intercompany process.
All SD steps are working fine
I have one sales order, one delivery, one billing document in delivering company
I have one billing document in selling company.
Now, I need a PO and Incoming Invoice in sales company.
how should I create PO?
which acc. assingment category should be assigned?
Should I set Goods Receipt Indicator?

Intercompany sales - IV billing for NLCC delivery

Can anyone advise how we setup pricing for IV billing for intercompany sales generated from PO? Seems like the std setup does not contain any pricing in the IV billing.
Also how's the pricing being calculated from intercom perspective?
Thanks
Peter

Hi,
delivery type NLCC is used for STO between two company codes and delivery type NL is used for STO within one company code.if u use NLCC, ZIVU001 STO pricing procedure should be there and u should have ZIVU condition type..please check whether u r having this type of pricing procedure and if yes, u assign it to ur sales area. u may get the solution..

Intercompany sales without the EDI piece?

Hi all,
I am looking into setting up and intercompany sales process for my client. It is a straightforward process whereby product will be sold out of one company code (A), and delivered out of a plant that is in another company code (B). I have already configured the intercompany invoice to be created from the company code B vendor to the selling company code, A, and this is working great. My question is... do I need to configure the EDI piece to create the invoice receipt within company code A? I seem to remember at a previous client that we did intercompany sales without this piece, but I wasn't close enough to it to remember the details. Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Barry,
If you guys are using EDI for acknowledging the reciepts of STO, sending ASN's etc. then I would say to set up the EDI for the invoice as well, if not forget about it.
It should not impact your outcome.
We do not use EDI for the Intercompany operations.
Mostly Confirmations through Email.
Thanks

Transfer of Intercompany sales orders using LSMW

Hi
I have to Transfer the open intercompany sales orders using LSMW. Consider a scenario where customer places an order on sales org A with plant A. sales org A raises purchase order on Sales org B with plant B. The material moves from Plant B ie supplying plant to delivering plant A. THen it is delivered to custome from plant A. Can u please tell me whether i have to pass the suppying plant or it will be determined automatically. Similarly what about the purchase requisition no. Is it created automatically.
Thanks
regards
Tushar

Hi,
The purchase requisition is going to automatically created incase of a intercompany order (ie nothing but the third party order). In this case of orders the line item category in the sales order would be TAS. The intercompany sales order nothing different from a normal order during the creation of the order, after that the operations will be different from the normal standard order. You can use the same LSMW which you have used for transfering normal standard orders.
The configs are going to be different in the system for intercompany sales orders compared to the standard sales orders. That is the problem of the functional consultant to take care.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Already answered
Enter IG (internal credit memo) as the billing type for intercompany
billing for order type RE.
Cust-Sales/distrib-Transactions-Billing-Intercompany billing-Order types
Intercompany billing always refers to a delivery
Processing flow will be:
1. Create returns request invoice receipt (with or w/out reference)
2. Create returns delivery and goods receipt
3. Create credit memo invoice receipt for customer for 1.
4. Create internal credit memo for 2.
Therefore you must make the following entries in the document flow
for billing documents:
Target BillType        DlvType              ItemCat
a)    IG                  LR
b)    IG                  LR                    REN
Parameters for entries:
For a) Copying requirement: 14 Dlv.-rel.header IV
      Copy item no.: x (Check and decide yourself)
For b)Copying requirement: 15 Dlv.rel. item IV
      Data VBRK/VBRP      : 1 Inv.split (sample)

How to avoid special stock indicator for intercompany sales transitions.

Hi Friends
I have an issue Intercompany sales .if I enter intercompany plant(Delivering plant) in the sales order system is taking special stock indicator and looking for sales order stock.
If I enter company code plant for sales from unrestricted stock, system is not taking special stock indicator.
Please advice how to avoid special stock indicator for intercompany sales transitions.
Thanks in advance.
SRK

Ravi,
Special stock is generally determined by the MRP strategy group in the material master of the plant against which you place your order. The strateg(ies) contained in the strategy group will determine the SO requirements type, which will in turn determine whether or not the order is 'account assigned' (special stock).
It is normal to only have one strategy contained in a strategy group. However (and I seldom recommend this) SAP will support multiple strategies within one strategy group. In this case, you could have both MTS and MTO orders against the same plant/material, by manually altering the requirements type in the sales order. This scenario is usually difficult for a planner, and involves additional manual attention to make everything work.
I suggest that your first avenue is to change the Strategy group in the material master of the delivering plant to one that supports MTS. This has a big impact in Controlling and in Production Planning, so ensure that all affected functional groups are aware of what you are doing, and of the resulting changes that they will experience. The transition from MTO to MTS must be carefully controlled.
If you are not a PP expert, I suggest you consult with your local PP expert before embarking on this change.

Show Sales orders, STOs, & Deliveires in SNP planning book by Shipping Poin

We are using ECC 6.0 and SCM 7.0.
We have a requirement to model the Shipping point as a location in SNP. By this functionality we want to show Sales orders, STOs, & Deliveires in SNP planning book by Shipping Point in addition to Delivering Plant which is default now.
When I create Sales Orders in ECC system always perform shipping point determination and passon to APO per schedule line via CIF. These Sales Orders always show up in SNP under delivering plant/location. We also want to show them under Shipping Point location.
Here is what I have done so far:
1. I have created a CIF integration model for all required shipping points and CIFed over to APO. These locations are showing up in SNP planning book.
2. I have created Sales Orders and verified the shipping points are determined correctly and sent Sales Orders to APO successfully.
3. I see all the Sales Orders in SNP planning book at delivering plant/location.
4. But I don't see any sales orders under shipping point. They also don't show in RRP3 screen.
5. If I create a forecast in RRP3 at Shipping Point location they show-up in SNP planning book at Shipping point location.
Any idea how to model shipping points in SNP for planning?

check what the ATP order type is of these orders are (from RRP3)
then check what ATP group these order types are assigned to (from SPRO)
then in the SNP Planning are make sure the Keyfigure you want to see them in refers to the ATP group from above
Which planning book are you using? Is it a standard book/ copy of a standard book? What KF are you expecting to see it under... the standard book has KF for planned production that will be same as your PPDS planned orders

Intercompany sales and stock transfer enhancement at billing level

Dear Gurus ,
Business requirement is to process intercompany sales and stock transfer for both divisions PB & RB, but in standard SAP we can assign only one division in the configuration. So need development to determine division on the basis of material division and not from configuration.
What is the ehancement we can use for the same ? To determine division from the material master at the time of intercompany invoice .
Note : We are not using common division concept .....here.
Looking for your inputs ....
Thanks and regards

HI Garima ,
Plz check the following steps
CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
Assign Delivery Plant of the supplying company code to Sales Org + Distribution channel of the Ordering company code in the Enterprise Structure.
DEFINE ORDER TYPES FOR INTERCOMPNY BILLING:
Menu path: IMG/ SD/Billing/Intercompany Billing/Define Order Types for Intercompany billing
Assign Organizational units by Plant:
Menu Path: IMG/ SD/Billing/Intercompany Billing/Assign Organizational units by Plant.
Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization:
Menu Path: IMG/ SD / Billing/ Intercompany Billing/ Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization:
Creating / Showing Ordering Sales Organization as Internal Customer for Supplying Company code:
Transaction Code: XD01
The ordering sales organization is represented as Internal customer of Supplying company code.
We need to create customer master in Account Group - Sold to Party and maintain minimum required financial & Sales Area data.
This internal customer number has to be assigned to the ordering sales organization. Hence, the system automatically picks up this Internal customer number whenever there is Intercompany billing.
In the above mention configuration steps you are missing the second step in your confirguration 1.e the reason your getting that error

ACCOUNT DETERMINATION "INTERCOMPANY SALES &3RD PARTY SALES" -kishore,AK ,

HI ,
   Rajesh , Kishore , AK ,
      well 2day i had   client interview , he was very much stressing on " ACCOUNT DETERMINATION " process in intercompany sales , both in ordering comapny and delvering plant .
       At the same time account determination for 3rd party sales . well got some docs had brief capsule study , still stuck up .
   can u pl throw come clarity .
Regards,
jerry

Dear Jerry
Inter-Company Scenario in SAP is quite different than its literal meaning.
Inter-Company means, customer gives order to company code A (PlantA), but Plant A is not having stock, so it passes on to Plant B(CoCd B).So in Sales order of A you enter Plant B.
So now goods are delivered by Plant B to Customer and commercial invoice for customer is from CoCd A.
Cocd B just gives inter company invoice.
Now Comming to account determination , it totally depends on pricing procedure as account keys are there. There is not much difference from standard scenario, but you can have seperate G/L Accounts
If you are talking about <b>sales between different company codes</b>, then this can be handled having different sales document and thus different pricing procedure, you can ask customer , what is there requirement. and can say that it is like normal sales cycle only
<b>Third-Party Processing</b>
1) two standard process provided by SAP in the frames of the third-party processing:
a) pure third-party process: X creates the sales order, automatically purchase requision and later a purchase order will be created at the vendor. Then the vendor sends the goods directly to your customer and send the invoice to X. The company X creates the invoice to the customer Y.
b) individual purchase order: the same process, but the vendor sends the goods not to the customer directly, but first to X, and then the company X delivers the goods to the customer Y. The invoice is coming from Z to X (transaction MIRO), and then X creates invoice to Y.
you can refer the accounting document to get Idea of account determination
