Item category used for third party

Gurus,
need to know the item category used for third party process and its determination, kindly help.
thanks
SP

Dear Partasarathy,
there are three different processes within the third-party.
The usual third-party process (the delivery will be made directly from the third-party partner). The item category here is TAS in the standard.
The individual purchase order (the delivery will be done from third-party partner to SD-partner and then the normal delivery will be created from the sales order). The item category here is TAB in the standard.
The ALE-process is the third-party process where the purchase order (not only the purchase requisition) will be created after saving the sales order. The item category here is ALES in the standard.
I hope, this additional info helps you further.
Kind regards,

Cannot close sales order for third party sales

Hello Gurus,
I cant seem to close a third party sales order even after it has been delivered and the incoming reciept match the sales order as well as purchase requisition or purchase order. at first I thought it was the difference in the unit of measure b/w the delivered products and the ordered products, but that is not the case because even when they are still the same and the quantities match I still have an issue and when I run VA05 (list of sales order) the sales order for the third party sales still shows up. An example is sales order XXX / PO XYZ/ Inv XYY u2013 ordered 45,000, shipped 39,980), we resolve it with the following steps below
1. change the PO quantity to match the invoice quantity
2. the requisition then re-opened itself automatically.
3. I then changed the requisition and marked it closed.
4. I then could go to the sales order and change the order quantity to match the billed and invoiced quantity. The rejection code 52 did not work u2013 I received a hard error: PO XYZ must be deleted before the line item could be rejected.
This is a whole lot of steps to perform just to correct 1 backorder. The reason that it had to be corrected is that the sales order mfg line stays on the Billing Due list and does not clear it self out unless you perform the steps above.
Also like I said even when all the quantities are the same I still have this issue so is ther any thing I can do to resolve this issue in configuration or otherwise and also we are using the satndard item category "TAS" for third party sales.
I will appreciate you contribution and help to resolve this matter
Thanks

Unfortunately, all the steps need to be performed to close the status. I think even giving tolerances will not close the status. If it is a regular sale order, a small BDC program may be written to change the sale order quantity to match the invoice quantity. Since its a third party and there are too many documents which are involved in the process using ABAP programs is not a convenient option.

Item Category "5" for Third party
Acct. Assgt Cat. X for All aux acct. assgts.

Hi Shiva Ram,
Thank you for your reply. I have already mentioned in my heading the schedule line category as "CS" and I have given the details of that schedule line category. I also know that Item category group "BANS" in the MM data automatically picks the Item category "TAS" .
But my question is exactly which Field or fields in the Item category and Schedule line category triggering in the creation of PR.
Thanks,
Jans

Account assignment in schedule line category for third party sale

in settings for schedule line category CS -for third party sales, in the field Account Assignment category we assign X-all auxiliary account assignment.
what is the purpose and reason for using account assignment category in third party and at what point of time this comes into picture in third party sales process

Hi Sudha A,
Procureement against customer requirement will be booked against cost or expense account. So when creating PO, this account assignment category is determination factor for respective G/L accounts in MM.
- Account assignment category will have general modification assigned. in MM account determinatoin OBYC settings-
Valuation group code(this needs to be confirmed) + General Modification + valuation class determines G/L account.
This is how G/L account will be displayed in PO - item level - account assignment tab.
To see the settings in account assignment category - check the help of the field & choose customization & observe in details.
Hope it clears,

Distribution channel for third party sales

Hello Gurus,
May I know what is the distribution channel or type of it I should or could use for third party sales order creation?
I have configured the ITC etc but not sure the distribution channel to use from the standard SAP provided ones.
Or I can use any without affecting the process?
regards
Bass

You can use any without affecting the process.
3rd party process is controlled by - item cat. group, item category, schedule line cat., etc.
At some places, separate order type or dist ch are used only for Reporting purpose.
Thanks

Settings for third party order

Hi,
what are the settings needed for setting up third party order particularly at the schedule line level. Thanks in advance.
Regards
sri krishna

Dear sri krishna,
1) the first thing would be to have the item category group at the material level as BANS which is for a third party material.
2) Assign the item categories so that we have TAS as the item category or for a normal item have TAS as the manual item category and change it at the order level.
3) At the schdule line level, select the required order type for purchase order which is generally NB.
4) Select item category which says third party
5) Select the relevant account assignment category for third party out of the selection.
6) In the item category if you want an automatic purchase order then switch the automatic PO indicator.
Hope the explanation helps you.
Thanks & Regards

Account Assignment Category for third party process.

Hi ,
I would like to use different account assignment category for third party process. This account assignment cat must be assigned at the sales order itself. Is there any config for this.
Kindly help me.
Ram.

You can create new account assignment category for 3rd party process by copying existing std one 2 in configuration under MM - Purchasing - Account assignment - maintain account assignment category
You can assign your own set of control for account assignment based on requirement.
SAP use TAS item catgory in 3rd Sales order which is linked to Pur Req account assignment catgory 2.If you are defining own account assignment catgory than you need to config set-up with TAS sales order item catgory.
Hope above details will help to move further...sanjay karkun

ATP check CRM R/3 for Third Party items

CRM .0 does not support an ATP check for Third Party items. This
is axplained in several notes and we also find it in practice in
our system. Actually an ATP check does also not happen in R/3,
if you create the order in R/3, but it takes the delivery lead
time, from the material or the info record, into account for the
confirmation date.
ATP check from CRM to R/3 is triggered by the requirements class
that is determined in R/3 from the item category. So in case
during an ATP chekc from CRM in R/3 no requirements class is
found for the item category, as this is the case for the third
party item category the system does no futher action and does
not take the delivery lead time into account.
This is standard system behaviour.
We are setting up a webshop where the above mentioned could
result in a partial confirmed order during order simulate. The
customer will not be able to view the confirmed date before
actually saving the order.
My question is if anybody ever tried to find a workaround or
solution for this missing functionality.
Best regards,
Pascal.

Hi Pascal,
Middleware setting is only to activate the ATP call from CRM to R/3. It has nothing to do with the pop-ups you are getting. I don't remember on top of my head how to eliminate this situation. I think when you call ATP, the system is validating the partner functions. Check partner determination profile assigned to the transaction type. I believe you need to make some changes to the partner profile. Are you getting these pop-ups only for a particular transaction type?

P.S.- For all non -Third PartyChild Items (with non-Third Party Item Catefory & Material Type), the Plant is population correctly as per Delivering plant in Material Master.
TIA.

PO Creation for third party sales

Hi
We have the scenario Third party sales and High sea sales which is already in use (already configured) , where PR getting generated automatically .
But client requirement is they want the PO to generate automatically by the system the moment i save the sales order .
Where is the setting in the SAP , where system will generate the PO automatically instead of PR
Please suggest

Hi,
Go to VOV7
Select third party item category which u r using in sales order >>> Deatils >>> under transaction flow >>> Tickmark to CREATE PO AUTOMATIC.
If you activate this field, the system automatically generates both a purchase order requisition for third-party schedule lines as well as a purchase order in the background when you save the sales order.
However u can not create PO directly.

Process demand for third party direct shipment

Hello ,
I need help in below given areas. in our rollout client is given statement of work like this.
1)     Demand transfer to vendors
2)     Reminder processing
3)     Process demand for third party direct shipment
Please can you explain me about these area, how it works with example. it is very benificial for us.
Regards
sapman

Hi Sapera,
There can be 3 typse of trading scenarios
1. 3rd party with Shipping notification : Where in u create sales order and create PO against the PR which si triggered in SAles order adn hen MIGO followed by MIRO and Billing. Here Billing to the end customer can be doen before MIRO because the billign quantity considered is based on the goods Receipt( MIGO) quantity. Many a times you might have your personnels or soem mechanisms to cross verify the delivered quanity as some times the vendor might not dispatch the quantiy in the PO. Here the MIGO doen si consumption posting/Non valuated GR as physically it doenot come into your stock and therefore is not shown in our stock. ITem category used in TAS
2. 3rd party without shiiping notfication ; Here MIGO is not done and billig ncan be done only after MIRO as the billing quantity is based on the Invocie receipt quantity in MIRO
3. Bought in items/ Dealer Sales : Here you bring in the materials from the vendor to our depot plant and then dispatch it to the customer . Here PR is geenrated from sales order followed by PO and MIGO. After MIGO you have to do PGI followed by Billing. MIRO doesnot have any impact on the PGI or Billing. Item category used is TAB
But in all the three instancesthe configurational changes happen in schedule line cateogry and the account assignment which is maintiend in item category and for automatic determination of 2 different schedule line categories we need to maintian 2 different item categories alothough item category settings are almost the same.
Hope this was helpful in giving you some insights on the trading processes

Third party Return Process
If the vendor grants you a credit memo on a quantity or a value basis, you can then send this credit memo directly to your customer.
The billing type Third-party credit memo (G2S) is available for this. The billing type Third-party credit memo works with the item category TASG (third-party credit memo item). The Billing-relevance indicator F is set in Customizing for Sales for this item category. This means that the cost is not created. In Customizing for Sales, the item category TASG is set at item level in copying control for the billing type G2S (copying control sales document by billing document) as the target item category (source: TAS-> Target:> TASG.)
Process Flow
Create a billing documente with billing type Third-party credit memo (for further information, see the section Creating a billing document in the Billing document). Enter the third-party order as a document still to be processed. The quantities are automatically removed from the invoice.
The above is the process for giving a credit memo which can be adapted for return goods.
Hope it will help you

Reminder for Third Party PO

Hi,
When we use ME91F to transmit reminders, system selects onlt the PO items with GR indicator ticked. But in case of third party order, there is no GR indicator set in the item. So system does not select the PO and hnece PO items for reminders ( in ME91F).
I checked the code, there is a check that if it is PO and wepos is 'space' , it dose not select the PO for reminder.
I want to send reminders for third part po also. What would be the best method to achieve that.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can code based on an item category in PO it will be always S
Field (EPSTP) for third party
