  • Third party logistics (TPL) Urgent

    Hello everyone,
    Can anyone help me with third party logistics (maintaining). To my understanding from:
    "A third-party logistics provider (abbreviated 3PL) is a firm that provides outsourced or "third party" logistics services to companies for part or sometimes all of their supply chain management function. Third party logistics providers typically specialize in integrated warehousing and transportation services that can be scaled and customized to customer’s needs based on market conditions and the demands and delivery service requirements for their products and materials."(Resource: Wikipedia)
    Cont: 3PL manages all the inventory of an organization (Warehouse management), maintaining handling units, packing the finished products, optimize routing and ship the finished products to customers. so, generally they stay next to manufacturing plant and carry out these activities. So, I'm comfortable in MM,WM and LE cycles. Can anyone help me what would be the difference from regular cycles as all the items are shipped through a seperate organization (Third party) . It would be great if some one explains it in the form of a scenario and various configurations involved and process flow (PO, GR and GI)
    Hoping for a positive response from you, I take leave
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    I have worked on exactly this scenario at Japanese electronics company in the UK. They used a third party transport company situated next door (in the same building).
    The solution is to NOT do anything differently, do NOT use complex third party orders etc. simply use the same process that you would normally use but let the TPL users enter the transactions directly in SAP as if they were your own employees.
    They can manage the consignments, deliveries, goods issues etc. they can also manage the stock movements.
    You obviously have to be careful with the authorisations but this should all be manageable.
    So basically design the processes as if your own users were doing this and just allow the TPL users to post the transactions and view the delivery due list etc.
    It sounds dangerous but remember that they are only processing the receipts from YOUR POs and the goods issues for YOUR Sales orders.

  • Can not receive emails from third party email accounts

    Recently I started working for a small business which has small business server 2011 and exchange 2010 installed. Before I started there were eight user accounts and they all have unlimited email access. I created a few users through sbs AD and also from
    exchange console a week ago. Unfortunately none of them can not receive emails from third party accounts. they all can receive internal emails and also can send mails to any email accounts internally and externally. 
    This is a night mare for me as new users are having trouble with communicating via mails. I have tried all the methods and now thought of posting this issue on tech net. Please help me on this!!
    Thanks a lot!!

    Checklist for testing inbound email problems, I am assuming outbound emails works ok.
    1. Check Port 25 forwarding on all modems routers/firewalls
    2. MX Record is created and pointing to the correct Public IP Address, use MXToolbox.com to verify MX Record and test SMTP flow. Also Verify your public IP has not changed, use whatsmyip.org to check you public IP
    3. If using POP Connector Service, make sure POP accounts are created properly
    4. If using a 3rd party spam host, make sure they forward email to correct public IP address, use step 2 to verify your public IP.

  • Third Party logistics and scenario

    Hello all,
    I am working on WM and would like to know more about third party processing. i would like to know the WM scenarios in which third party
    logistics is used. is there any specific examples for third party logistics. Pl. advise in detail.
    Thanks,
    Maxx

    Hi,
    The meaning of Third party process in SAP is that you fulfill the demand of your customer by ordering the goods from your vendor and arranging the shipment from your vendor directly to your customer.
    Since in this process your goods won't received in your WH, there's no point in speaking about WM scenario of third party processing.
    Did you think of this third party process:

  • Sender RFC from Third Party System

    I have a vendor who is actually communicating through RFC from third party Application to SAP R/3. Now we are trying have XI in between. Where as with minimal impact on both sides.
    Solution.
    1. Have the RFC made as ZRFC in XI. Let the vendor call the RFC in XI ABAP and internally make an RFC call through XI Interface to R/3 as Sync Interface. Because we need to report the information back to the system where the request initiated.
    2. Have RFC INI file copied as SAP Suggests under one of the folders. Develop the regular RFC to RFC Interface via XI.
    Is there any other alternatives other than the above mentioned solutions? Or out of those 2, which one will provide the best performance
    Appreciate any feedback. Please advice

    That's exactly what we are trying to achieve here. By Eliminating direct connection R/3, we are placing XI in between. But with the budget/timeline constraints from the Partner side, we are trying to have minimal change on the partner side. They might not change something to web service etc...
    Here is the text about INI file
    You can configure the non-SAP RFC client to connect to the sender communication channel in the following ways:
    ■       By defining the parameters PROGID, gateway-host, and gateway-service within the saprfc.ini-file using RFC-SDK.
    ■       By using appropriate parameters in the function RfcOpenEx.
    If you use the saprfc.ini-file, the respective RFC destination has to be of type R.
    All the parameter values used within the saprfc.ini-file or with the function RfcOpenEx should match the entries maintained within the corresponding sender communication channel.
    Example for the saprfc.ini-file is as follows:
    DEST=RFCCLIENTEXT
    TYPE=R
    PROGID=P106646.HKExternalClient
    GWHOST=pwdf2153
    GWSERV=sapgw40
    Please check the following link, for the same  text on RFC Sender

    Using the same Sender RFC for non-SAP System, please share any ideas

  • Updating Serial numbers coming from third party at PGI

    Hi all,
          I have an requirement such that I need to update the serial numbers for a line item that are coming from third party system and these serial # needs to updated in the PGI processing of delivery.
    I have searched  in the SDN , but could not come these type of requirement. 
    Please any one call help me on this??
    Thanks in advance
    Ravindra

    Hi Ravindranath,
    To cater this requirement:
    1. Create a Z table for storing serial numbers with the link to delivery (means there will be some link with the serial numbers coming from third party and delivery in SAP)
    2. Go to change mode of include MV50AFZ1 for add code in subroutine USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_LIPS.
    3. In this subroutine fetch the serial number according to line item and delivery number; that you will get from LIPS.
    Pass the serail number to ANZSN field of LIPS.
    Hope it will solve your problem.
