Intercompany Stock Transport Orders

Hi All,
My current Client's Intercompany Stock Transport order involves 3 Company Codes. The final receiving company code will place STO to the second Company Code, but the Goods will be delivered by the third Company Code.
The tricky part is the Vendor number should be the Goods Delivering Company Code and not the second company code, the second company code is only for accounting purposes.
So what we did, we created VN Vendor, but not assigned the Delivering Plant to this Vendor. Instead we created GS Vendor and assigned the Delivering Plant to this GS vendor and assigned this GS as Partner in Vendor Master.
Now when I try to create STO, only VN vendor's name and address is populating as per Standard SAP Design, and moreover Shipping details are not populating. what we need is GS Vendor's number, name and address should replace VN data in STO Header.
I am quite surprised to know if there is any User Exits available to make this design to work?
I request MM Experts to help me.
Thanks,
Sundar.

Hi Sundar,
I am not fully clear on your requirements.
Let's say you have 3 company codes with different plant codes:
CC A - with plant 1111
CC B - with plant 2222
CC C - with plant 3333
Now, according to what I understand from financial perspective C should do purchasing from B and B should purchase products from CC A.
But what I also got is that from logistics perspective, you would like to make a movement between plants 1111->3333, without going through plant '2222'. Is that what you expect??
If yes, that would be very weird scenario. Because then according to me any financial audit would claim that there was no actual sales/purchases between the companies.
Normally what is done in such case is that both the stock movements as well as financial postings are done between the companies and plants. So that the last PO is against CC B which is represented by Vendor linked to plant 2222.
Of course physically the goods should be transferred between locations 1111 and 3333. And this you can achieve via special delivery note layouts etc.
What I was also involved is automatization of such process. So that after goods issue from plant 1111, there is automatic GR and GI from plant 2222. So that at 3333 there is only manual GR required when goods physically arrive there.
Hope this helps

Intercompany stock transport order : MM pricing = SD pricing

hi all,
Intercompany stock transport order process :
ME21N <-- MM pricing
VL10
VF01 <-- SD pricing
MIGO
MIRO
Is there a standard (!!!) or a known method to get in any case : SD pricing = MM pricing ?
Using the standard customizing we have to maintain an identical price on both sides purchasing and sales. It could be better !
Thanks for help

Hi Alain,
1.Create a vendor for the company code of receiving plant, using account group :0007 using T-Code XK01.
2. Assign this vendor to Delivering plant, Go to XK02 >Purchasing view>Extras>Add. Purchasing data>Plant
3. Create internal customer with the sales area of the vendor. Go To XD01
4. In Pricing procedure determination relevant to STO, assign document Pricing Procedure and customer pricing procedure appropriate for STO to get the pricing in the invoice.
5. Maintain condition records for the relevant pricing condition.
6. Some more setting for STO: Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO> define shipping data for plants > Go to Receiving plant >assign customer here & Supplying SA (for billing) to Receiving plant here
7. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO> define shipping data for plants > Go to Supplying plant and assign the sales area of receiving plant.
8. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO> assign delivery Type & Checking rule
Assign the delivery type to document type. In this case, Delivery type NLCC is assigned to Document type NB
9. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO>Assign document Type, One step Procedure, Under delivery tolerance
Assign the document type NB to supplying plant and receiving plant
10. After all settings , Create the STO using T-Code:ME21N and Save.
11. Create Delivery :VL10G
Click on the Background Button after selecting line item
A message is flashed : See log for information> next Click on Log for delivery creation Button >click on line item>click on document button to get Delivery document No
12. Picking, PGI:VL02N
13. Billing:VF01

Item Category "U" in Intercompany Stock Transport Order

Hi Gurus,
Your expert advise on the below functionality is needed..
Scenario:
Intercompany STO, Document Type : NB , Delivery Type : NLCC
In the Source List, Intercompany Vendor and the Supplying Plant is maintained. Also i have made the Source list relevant for MRP.
MRP is run for the material, SAP generates PR(Document Type NB) with Item Category "U" -Stock Transfer.
I am getting error message when creating PO with reference to this PR, as Standard PO document type NB does not have link to Item Category "U - Stock Transfer".
For Intercompany STO, Item Category should be blank, I am not sure why SAP generates PR with Item Category "U".
If i do not maintain the Source List and generate PR it is created with Item category as blank. Then i am able to manually assign the Source of supply.
Kindly let me, what needs to be done to generate PR for Intercompany STO in MRP without Item Category "U' in it.
Regards,
Hemant

Hi,
SAP creates the requisition with item category "U" even in case of cross-company (intercompany) purchase requisition.
When converting it to PO the item category becomes blank - as I tried and I got no error message.
Please check your settings under SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types (V_T161). You will see (if standard settings have not been changed) that NB requisition type with "U" item category is allowed for NB purchase order type with " " (empty) item category.

Intercompany Stock Transport Orders - Inventory Revaluation & GATP

We have intercompany STOs setup using PO document type NB, using the two-step setup, with delivery and billing document/invoice.
The issues we are having is APO-GATP and FI/MM related:
1) FI/MM Issue: Because of the long transit times (6 - 8 weeks in-transit), if the inventory is revalued/recosted after the PGI and before the GR, the difference in the inventory value (between the PGI-643 and the GR-101) ends up being posted to a Price Difference account. Our Finance department then has to manually identify these postings, and make the necessary adjustments or re-posting to the Inventory Revaluation account.
2) APO-GATP Issue: We are currently investigating the possible solution of changing this to a one-step setup, and add some kind of user exit or enhancement so that the PGI will also trigger the GR, but the inventory will be received into blocked stock instead of unrestricted stock. We want the inventory that is in-transit, to NOT be available to GATP. Then, when the inventory actually arrives at the destination plant, we will post a MB1B movement type 344 into unrestricted stock. This solution may work if the blocked stock does not get revalued when we post a MB1B mvmt type 344 (we will have to test this out).
If anyone has come across similar issues as I have attempted to describe above and implemented a solution, or has any ideas or suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.
Thank you.

DB49,
Yes, we normally revalue our inventory annually, so this issue would be confined to a 6-8 week period when inventory is in-transit. I believe part of the issue with the price differences, is also related to foreign currency exchange rates (different company code currencies), but I'm not the FI expert either, just been asked to "look into" this issue.
Another possible scenario is to setup another plant in the receiving company code, with one-step STO, so the inventory will be received into this new plant when it is PGI'ed from the sourcing plant. Then, create a UB STO from this plant to the destination plant (same company code), which will require another posting when the inventory actually arrives. There is a lot of master data setup for this (lots of materials and lots of company codes/plants combination), and it will still cause problems for the Logistics people. Maybe this is something they can do during "that time of the year" when the inventory will be revalued. It will still require master data setup though.
I'm aware that there is no "ideal" solution for this. Whatever proposal we come up with, one group is going to end up with the extra workload to take the burden off the other group.
Thanks for responding so quickly.

Intercompany Stock Transport Order

Hi MM Gurus,
I know how intra company STO works. Can anyone explain me the intercompany STO with its configuration, master data and steps to perform? Also, I believe, we have to use document type NB for STO. Then what vendor is to be used for this STO?

Stock Transport Order (STO)will not create delivery

I have created a intercompany Stock Transport Order (STO) and it has created the shipping tab in the Purchase order(PO), and all seems to be correct.
I have material in the plant, yet when I go to create the delivery using VL10G, the PO does not show as a choice. I also do not get an error, so I cannot tell why it is not creating the delivery.
Is there a way to see an anaylis of why the STO is not showing as a choice?
Thanks,

Hi,
Please check the delivery date in the STO created.and adjust the del creation date etc input fields at VL10G and try the posting.If there exists no error in the po created.

Intercompany billing: can price date be taken from stock transport order UB

Hi,
I have an issue and I think that I'm not the first person who has this problem.
We are working with stock transport orders (UB) to relocate goods from one plant to the other (different company codes). We have some troubles with different prices in the purchase order and in the intercompany invoice because of different pricing dates.
Example:
1. the stock transport order is created on 15.02.2012 --> here the price date is 15.02.2012
2. the delivery is created on 25.02.2012 (PGI date 25.02.2012)
3. the intercompany invoice is created. On item level is placed the pricing date 25.02.2012
This situation may lead to a price difference, as already happened several times.
Do I have any chance to take out the pricing date from the stock transport order into the IC invoice?
thanks for help.
Chris

In the copy control settings (t.code VTFL), go to item level and check what value assigned in the field price source. Assign value A and test by creating new documents. If this solution does not resolve your issue, then check the routine assingned in the field Data VBRK/VBRP. In t.code VOFM, copy this routine and create a new routine with additional code for VBRP-PRSDT to have STO pricing date and then add this route in field VBRK/VBRP.

Commercial Invoice and Stock Transport Order

Hello Experts,
My client is using stock transport orders which sometimes results in cross border goods movement. I am not able to find any functionality for creating commercial invoices to be used for these types of shipping.
Any ideas?
rgds
GAR

Hi Gar,
Usually when there is a crossing of borders, it is a movement between 2 different companies code, therefore the intercompany purchase is the usual flow.
If you mean that the flow is between plants of the same company code between different countries, maybe you are talking about "Plants abroad" functionality.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/34/60b1a0ae724effe10000009b38f91f/content.htm
Previously, the plants of a company code had to belong to the country of that company code.
As of Release 4.0A, it is possible to deviate from this rule for European company codes with European plants.
I never had to use this functionality at a customer site, but that sounds like your requirement
Also allows internal billing document for intrastat reporting, so feel free to evaluate!

Intercompany Stock Transfer order - Shipping data

We are in the process of implementing intercompany PO/STO process and we have hit a roadblock.
Taking the example of one of our sites - Plants in Ireland supply material to plants in UK. Although they are part of difefrent company codes they are treated as INTRA-COMPANY transfers so we need to use the distribution channel IN
But some plants in northern Europe (Finland/ netherlands) also supplys material to UK and they are INTER-COMPANY transfers so we have to use distribution channel IC
Issue : IN SPRO, When you define shipping points for plants, you can assign only on distribution channel for a plant but as per the example above We need two distribution channels.
Has anyone else come across any similar issue? Is there any work around or user exit that we can use for this please?
Cheers,
KB

SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up Stock Transport Order > Set up sTock Transport Order Between Storage Locations > Define Shipping Data for Stock Transport Orders Between Storage Locations (V_T001W_L) - here you can define different sales area / customer master for Plant / SLoc combinations.
SAP will recognize the proper sales area when you input the issue SLoc during creation of STO (issue SLoc is the last field in the line of the PO item, it appears after hitting enter key).

Intercompany Stock Transfer Order Returns

Our company uses plant-to-plant stock transport orders to record the movement of stock. We are on SAP R/3 version 4.7. When the two plants in question are in different company codes, an intercompany billing (type IV) results from the supplying plant (Plant 1) to the receiving plant (Plant 2). Our pricing procedure for intercompany sales includes a markup on the standard cost (Plant 1 has a small profit, and Plant 2 has a higher standard price).
My problem is that sometimes Plant 2 has to return some of the stock to Palnt 1. I cannot just process an STO from Plant 2 to Plant 1, because it would process as a sale from Plant 2 to Plant 1, with a markup on the already higher standard price in Plant 2. What I need to do is process a return on the original STO PO, which would generate a return credit billing from Plant 1 to Plant 2.
I tried to enter a PO return Delivery using TCode MBRL, and I got the error message that "There are no Open Items on the PO". Since, on a regular PO to an outside vendor, the MBRL transaction creates the open item, this indicates there is something about the intercompany process that prevents this from being the solution in this case. How can I process a return on an intercompany STO, that will generate a Return Credit Billing (type IG) from Plant 1 to Plant 2)?

Hi Laura,
If you are processing with delivery, you shd check the delivery indicator in MBRL Transaction.
In your scenario if Plant A has shipped to plant B and Plant B return to plant A on a return PO. Plant A raises the crdeit memo on plant B.
Typically returns are done with as you create a return purchase order with Return indicator create an outbound delivery and do 161 movement and subsequent PGR on the outbound delivery.
Thanks

RE: Intercompany stock transfer order process

hi SD Experts,
I really appreciate if anyone explain me how to execute Intercompany stock transfer order with intercompany billing scenario.
I used T-Code ME27, but unable to do delv and intercompany billing
thanks in advance
regards
vaseem

hi
Material should exist in both the plants (Delivering & Ordering),
Internal customer should be assaigned to the ordering plant ( MM -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Setup stock transport order -> assign the internal customer to the ordering plant and assign the Sales area of the internal customer.
Assign its Sales area to the delivering plant
Assign the document type and Delivery type NB and NLCC
Assign the Supplying plant --> Receiving Plant --> NB
Take the delivering plant and assign the sales area.
Vendor master has to be created and assaign the supply source ( Delivering Plant).
Create a puchase order ME21N ---> Save
Delivery VL10 G ---> Calculation rule (appropriate) --> Assaign the purchase order number here and execute.
Select the Delivery creation line and do the back ground process.
Start the log display and see the delivery document number by the documents button
Goto VL02N --> do picking and PGI --> Then do the MIGO with respect to the delivery document.
Billing (Intercompany pricing conditions should be set).

Overdelivery in intra-company stock transport order

Hello,
I have the following scenario - I have two plants, 1000 and 2000, both under the same company code.
I transfer 450KG of material 123456 from plant 1000 using STO with SD (mvt. type 641), material is packed in HUs. In the receiving plant, the HUs are being place on a weight to check their actual weight. It;s possible for the actual weight be greater than the GI weight of 450KG (for example, due to weight scale accuracy issues) . When doing GR, I need to be able to receive quantity greater than the GI quantity. That is not allowed in stock transport order (per note 212387). For the same scenario with intercompany STO (GI mvt type 643) I'm able to post GR quantity which is greater than GI qty.
Any suggestion on how to solve this? Can I create a customer order type that is both intra-company and allows for overdelivery?
Thanks,
Yossi

a overdelivery does not make any sense in stock transfers, you would solve the problem of the stock accuracy in the receiving plant, but at the same time you create another problem with a negative stock in transit, that never gets cleared.
a STO having stock left in transit is never considered as closed. even intercompany stock transfers are not considered as closed, even you can receive more than issued.
Latest when archiving purchasing documents then you will see all your error in the process design, because only closed business cases can be archived.
in stock transfer business you always have to care about both sides, you cannot just care about the receiving plant and ignore the problems of the sending plant.
