Manufacturing environment versus Service Industry

Hello,
I have worked extensively as a user of SAP in a manufacturing environment for 6 years. I am interested in an oppoptunity in the service industry that uses SAP.
I fear that I will not be able to verbalize my experiences with SAP (FICO, Purchasing, IM, MM & PS) and how that would differ in a service related industry.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Dear AP,
Do we need to do that much only?
Could you tell me how to capture the capital goods purchase & related excise entries like 50 % excise  effect in the year of acquisition & balance in next year?
Regards,
Gov

  • Inter company Billing for service industry

    Hi,
    I never workded over inter company billing.Please suggest me what to do? I am in a service industry project where no delivery takes place.So how should i go about for intercompany billing configuration?
    Thanx in advance.
    Regardds,
    Satya

    Dear Satya,
    You can create the inter company bill with refrence to the service order
    To do inter company billing settings go through this IMG path
    IMG>Sales and Distribution>Billing-->Intercompany billing
    Process steps for normal inter company process with delivery.
    INTER COMPANY BILLING
    Definition:
    A company arranges direct delivery of the goods to the customer from the stocks of another company belonging to the same corporate group.
    To put in simple terms, Company code A orders goods through its sales organization A from Plant B belonging to Company code B.
    It is imperative that both Plants A & B should have the material. In other words, the material is created for both the Plants A & B + their respective storage locations.
    Sales Organizations and Plants are uniquely assigned to Company codes. It is not possible to assign either a plant or a sales organization to more than one company code.
    Sales organizations and plants assigned to each other need not belong to the same company code.
    In other terms, a plant belonging to Company code A & assigned to Sales Organization A can also be assigned to Sales Organization B of Company Code B. This enables cross company sales.
    PARTIES INVOLVED
    1) End Customer 2) Ordering Company code 3) Supplying Company Code.
    End customer:
    Customer who orders goods from the ordering company code.
    Ordering Company Code:
    Which orders goods from Plant belonging to Supplying Company code through its sales organization and bills the end customer.
    Supplying Company Code:
    Supplies goods from its plant to the end customer specified by the ordering company code and bill the ordering company code.
    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.
    PRICING:
    We need to maintain two pricing procedures RVAA01 & ICAA01. Pricing procedure RVAA01 represents condition type PR00 & any other discounts or surcharges that are meant for end customer.
    We assign Pricing procedure RVAA01 to combination of Sales area (Of Ordering company code) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure of Sales document type.
    This pricing Procedure (RVAA01) is determined both at Sales Order level & Billing processing for the end customer. We maintain PR00 condition type to represent the ordering company code's price to the end customer.
    Condition records for PR00 are maintained using organizational elements of Ordering company code, end customer & the Material.
    Eg: Sales Org. of Ordering company code + End customer + Material.
    We also need to maintain PI01 condition type to represent costs to Ordering company code (in other words revenue to supplying company code). It is statistical condition type & meant for information purpose only.
    Condition records for PI01 are created with the following key combination:
    Ordering sales Org + Supplying Plant + Material
    Pricing Procedure ICAA01is determined at Intercompany billing processing level.
    Pricing Procedure ICAA01 - Pricing Procedure for Inter company billing is assigned to the combination of: Sales Area (of supplying company code) + Document pricing Procedure of Billing document type IV + Customer Pricing Procedure of the Internal customer.
    Pricing Procedure ICAA01 has condition type IV01 that represents revenues for Supplying company code in the intercompany billing.
    PR00 condition type also appears in Intercompany billing document. It is for information purposes only and does not have bearing on the value of the document.
    PI01 represented under pricing procedure RVAA01 is reference condition type for IV01 and the same is defined in the condition type IV01. Due to this these two condition types represent same value.
    The condition type IV01 in intercompany billing document represents revenue to the Supplying Company. But its corresponding condition type PI01 in the billing document to the end customer is shown as a statistical item meant for information purposes.
    In your requirenment there will not be delivery process in between service sales order and the intercompany bill so do the settings accordingly in the copy controls between service sales order type and inter company billing type.
    I hope this will help you,
    Regards,
    Murali.

  • How well does SAP copes with a manufacturing environment ......?

    Hi all,
    I wanted to check about how well SAP copes with a manufacturing environment where there are many parts for many product lines, with small production quantities being the norm. In this case, you would see many BOMs, High quantity of POs, Supplier invoices etc. This is in addition to the normal needs for Quality inspection forms, WIP movement and valuation. It's intended to utilise all the modules, ordering, inventory, quality, purchasing, MRP, sales order, invoicing, payments, AR/AP, HR, CRM.

    Hi,
    Not sure about the scenario - many BOMs for many production line - Is it that there are very high number of material master data which has BOMs or there are lot of BOMs for single material. If it is the second case, concept of variant configuration can be used, where number of BOMs are reduced by using super BOM.
    Regarding high quantity of POs: probably you can exlpore the option of clubbing small POs into a single one for common vendors.

  • 3PLS Scenario for Service Industry

    Hi All,
    How do we map SAP B1 Solutions for service Industry.
    Scenario 1.
    My client gives warehouses on rent to their customers to store their Inventory. My client provides the Labour required for that particular warehouse and transportation if required.
    Scenario 2. (3PLS) (Third Party Logistics Services)
    My client takes warehouses, Labour and Transportation on rent from Vendor and gives to customer on Rent.  Their customer stores their inventory in that warehouse.
    My doubt is that can we maintain customers inventory  at out client place. if yes, How to map the scenario.
    Regards
    Shashi
    Edited by: shashi mantripragada on Jun 29, 2009 12:24 PM

    Hi,
    We can have work solution for this service process mapping.
    Any work around solution in B1 there has to be financial implication on that. So we have to be very careful on defining GL Account Determination and its financial implication.
    And that will be accounted in our books of accounts.
    Here we will receive only charges out of from the services, what we have to given the service to them, for this we will do service invoice (AR Service Invoice) to account those charges.
    For Inventory Tracking what we need to do is to pass the goods receipt or goods issue document with out the item cost. Here we have to assign inventory account and inventory off set account and we need define an item for to maintain a stock and also the warehouse and Item Group which we are going to maintain a stock. All are the document involves financial implication.
    Charges should be accounted through service invoices and inventory tracking should go through goods issue and goods receipt document (Inventory Transaction in Inventory Module) .
    Please consult a Finance person before going to do that these configurations. But it is possible in B1.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    What is the scope of MM in a Service Industry?
    Regards,

    Thanks for the reply.
    We are exploring the possibility of MM in a BPO.
    We are thinking whether we should go in for using PR_RFQ_PO_MIGO_MIRO cycle or we should simply follow the FI Route.
    We do deal with the following in the current scenario:
    1.     Furniture/ Fixture maintenance.
    2.     Security Service
    3.     Arranging Vehicle on Rental for Company
    4.     Other repair and maintenance
    5.     AMC for Printers.
    6.     Purchase of Computers/ IT related h/w and s/w
    7.     Hiring of PC

  • Service industry pricing configurations

    Hi Experts,
    Could you brief me the pricing configuration for the Service industry (Logistic or Couriers)
    Here we need to consider out going consignments are chargeable and incoming consignment are free (Ex: Mobile billing)
      Thanks in Advance.
      Regards
      Priya.

    Hi Namita,
    Thats why i mentioned CRM2007
    If on CRM7.0, we dont have reason maintenance but have all new Multiple Categorization concept introduced.
    As PePe says, Service Request and Service Ticket are all different transactions as they have different  Buss. Objects. Service Request is new thing from CRM7.0 .Earlier we had only service tickets where you can maintain the reasoning.
    Depending your Project Realization mapping as decided by Solution Architech, either service req. or service tickets should be used. Now since you are using Service requests, we have to fullfill your needs there only.
    If you want, you can still get the Reason dropdown in WEB UI thought development. Add BTSUBJECT in the view and do the coding to read your subject profile , subject codes and show the texts. This will be pure development but i dont see much effort as you are still doing it in BT model. I would recommand to go with categorizations only as its SAP std. suggested for Service Requests scenario. Maintaining Categorization and schema is failrly simple however i feel SAP has un-necessarily complecated it. Follow the help.sap.com categorization under CRm service. They have nice explanations. We generally maintain categorization from WEB UI only and not through SPRO.
    Let me know if you stuck up on coding part as i have already done it, i may help you.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Suchita

  • Service Industry scenario

    Hello Friends,
    I am going to implement SD first time in airline industry, I think it is going to be like service industry scenario,
    Will you please let me know how the service order is created, How the process flow goes on?
    Which are the transactions involved in it?
    Thank you
    Sadanand.

    Hi,
    Process Flow
    This scenario includes the following process steps:
    Creating a service notification
    Changing the service notification (optional step)
    Check the task list
    Creating a sales order
    Change the sales order
    Changing the service order
    Time recording
    Confirming time to the service order (optional step)
    Confirming the materials used
    Creating resource-related billing request
    Creating the invoice for the billing memo request
    Closing the service order u2013 technical complete
    Key Points
    Service Order
    Definition
    Short-term agreement between service provider and service recipient, in which one-time services are ordered by the service recipient and resource-related billing performed upon completion.
    A service order contains the following data groups:
    Header data
    Location and account assignment data
    Object data
    Settlement data
    Operation data
    Component data
    Use
    The service order is used to document service and customer service work. In particular, you can use the service order to:
    Plan services specifically with regard to usage of material, utilities and personnel
    Monitor the execution of services
    Enter and settle the costs which arise from the services
    The data for the service order is entered in the history and is important for evaluations and future planning.
    You can also create a one-time customer in the order and transfer the data, for example, to the sales order. For more information, see Transfer of One-Time Customer Data and One-Time Customers and Vendors.
    Structure
    A service order contains operations that describe the individual work steps. An operation can be divided into sub-operations for greater detail.
    Spare materials and utilities, which are required for service work, can be planned in the operation.
    Integration
    Using the "worklist for notifications" for a maintenance or service order, you can group together similar notifications for processing. For more information, see Completion Confirmation.
    Services at several similar objects installed at the customer can also be processed using a service order.
    Regards,
    Murthy

  • How well SAP copes with a manufacturing environment ...?

    Hi all,
    I wanted to check abt how well SAP copes with a manufacturing environment where there are many parts for many product lines, with small production quantities being the norm.

    Hi,
    SAP was built around the manufacturing functionality. I have been implementing SAP into Manufacturing companies for the past 17 years and the size (Big or small) and complexity (simple or complex) has never been an issue.
    In fact, I would say that the companies that benefit the most from SAP are manufacturing companies that have lots of BOMs, lots of POs etc.
    there couldn't be a better fit of functionality.

  • Vendor Management with Service Industry

    Hello!!
    I was wondering if you guys could tell me what SAP material types do your companies use for materials/services like warranties, software install, insert (product information/usage instructions/promotion printed, folded and inserted into the package with the product). I'm assuming that any labor costs, travel, etc. related to repair are DIEN. Do you use any other SAP material types for repairs?
    I'm trying to figure out what would be the most suitable material types for above items.
    Also How's the VEndor management comes in into the Service industry like IT Services.
    Thanks in Advance!!!
    Rajesh.M

    Hi Rajesh,
    As such for services, material type is DIEN, or may be without material number, but using the material groups...but for usage instrcutions/promotion material, material type will be NLAG or UNBW (Non-stock and Non-Valuated respectively).
    BR,

  • Implement Service Industry Extension

    Hello Guru's
    We are using CRM 4.0 and IC WebClient 4.0 for our callcenters. We now plan to implement the Service Industry Extension (SIE).
    I've heard that the java/J2EE parts of the IC WebClient are obsolete now because they are in the ABAP part of the SIE.
    Does anyone know if this means i can remove the J2EE engine?? And how about the Software Agent Framework and/or the Broadcast messaging Server?
    Do you have any idea?
    Many thanks!
    Pascal.

    Hello Pascal,
    If you upgrade to the Service Industry Extension (SIE) you will have the option to switch to the new default ABAP functionality or to continue using the Java/J2EE functionality until CRM 5.0 (where only ABAP is supported).
    So yes, you can remove the J2EE engine and still run the IC WebClient including Broadcast Messaging and Software Agent Framework. However, the caveat is that the Trex search engine (which does the searches for SAF) still requires its own J2EE server. Also, I believe Internet Sales runs on J2EE, so that's something to consider if you are running both WebClient and Internet Sales. But to answer your question, yes you can get rid of the J2EE for the WebClient itself.
    Best regards,
    John
