Removing a plant to its current company code

Hello Gurus,
I am working on this request that the old plant will be removed to its current company code and assigned it to new company code. SAP has been using for couple of years already so many data has been created and documents processed. I am aware of the plants set up configuration and OX18 but I think it will not be good removing the old plant in 0X18 and just assigned it to the new company code requested. I am thinking that create a new plant exactly the same with the old plant settings then assign it to requested company code. However, how about the existing data from the old plant? Are there any programs that can be used to copy the existing data of plant configuration?
Please advice!
Thanks!

Dear Sidarth,
Make sure that the plant has nil transaction both quantity wise and value wise. ie MM and FI.
Then you can reassign the same plant to your new company code.
Check the use of the Conversion Workbench (CWB), special tool like the
Migration Workbench, especially developed for this kind of tasks.

Moving a Plant to a new company code

Hi,
Does anyone have experience of moving a Plant from one company code to another in a "live" syste.
We are about to make some major changes to certain company codes and so new company codes will be required.
We have two options
The safe option - to create new plants and do all of the configuration and master data extensions etc. (a HUGE task)
The easy option - Unlink the Plant from the current company code and link it to the new company code (a HUGE risk)
The safe option is not realy available to us in the timescales we have and so I need to know if anyone has tried the other option in a live system?
I know that there are lots of things to consider (such as stocks and open POs etc.) but these things can be handled and probably a lot easier than configuring new plants etc.
Thanks

Creating a central DC for plants that have mutliple company codes

Hi,
We are looking to consolidate all of our distribution from 5 manufacturing plants (which all have different company codes) to one central distribution center in a single company code. Has anyone had any experience with this scenario? We will need to turn on warehouse management at the central DC and have been told that any plants connected to a warehouse in WM, have to be all in the same company code.

Karen,
We are looking to consolidate all of our distribution from 5 manufacturing plants (which all have different company codes) to one central distribution center in a single company code. Has anyone had any experience with this scenario?
Yes
We will need to turn on warehouse management at the central DC
Presumably this is for reasons other than the consolidation. Using or not using WM will have no impact on company codes. From what little I know about your business model change, there is no reason for you to use WM (other than the additional functionality, which will intrinsically improve warehouse efficiency).
and have been told that any plants connected to a warehouse in WM, have to be all in the same company code.
This is not a SAP limitation! There may, however, be business reasons why you need to do this.
A Distribution Center is not the same as a Warehouse in SAP. A DC is a special kind of plant. Plants are assigned to company codes, and the ownership of the goods in this plant are generally held by that one company code.
As Jurgen mentioned, a SAP Warehouse can encompass many plants, with many storage locations, each of which may belong to several company codes. WM doesn't care.
Storage locations are members (subsets) of plants. A given storage location will always be connected to a single plant, and the inventory of all storage locations in a given plant will be owned by the company that owns the plant.
From your short list of requirements, I believe that your logistics model should be to ship the product from your originating plant(s) to the DC (plant). The traditional way to do this is via Stock Transport orders. STOs can be intercompany or intracompany, required financial documents and postings can be configured to meet your company's needs. Other methods are also possible.
You mentioned that your DC would be one company code. Therefore, the sales orders will be placed against one plant (the DC). Delivery splitting would not be an issue.
Now, I notice in subsequent responses you seem to be thinking that you will ship from multiple company codes (plants). This is contrary to your original requirement list. As asked by Jurgen, where do you wish to consolidate your stock and where do you wish to consolidate your shipments?

MM STO between Plants under the same company code

Hi experts,
Please guide on the configuration steps for doing STO between Plants unders the same company code.
We have company code 100 in that Plants A B & C are theie. Each Plant can do STO to other Plant.
How to configure this scenario?

Dear,
Please follow bellow path
1. Create a vendor for the Company code of the receiving plant using account group 0007 via T-Code XK01.
2. In the purchasing data view assign the supplying plant and the schema group
3. Create customer with the sales area of the vendor.
4. The shipping conditions, the delivering plant and the transportation zone determine the route in the STO.
5. In the pricing procedure determination relevant to the STO assign document pricing procedure and customer pricing procedure to get the pricing in the invoice.
6. Maintain condition records for pricing condition.
7. Maintain carrier as a partner in the customer master.
8. In OMGN select the supplying plant and assign the company code and sales area. Similarly select the receiving plant and assign the company code and sales area (The company code to which the plant is assigned to).
9. Assign the delivery type and checking rule to the document type.
10. And finally, assign the purchasing document type to the supplying plant and the receiving plant.
11. Create the STO using T-Code ME 21N and save.
12. Check for release strategy if any and release using T-Code ME 28.
13. Create delivery in background using VL10G.
14. If delivery is created, it is an indication of correct configuration and master data creation.
Stock transfer between two plants in different company codes is known as inter company stock transfer.
Material should be maintained in both supplying and receiving plant MM01
Stock should maintain only in supplying plant MB1C
Create receiving plant as a customer in supplying plants company code and sales area XD01
Assign this customer number in receiving plant details OMGN
Assign supplying sales area in supplying plant details OMGN
Assign delivery type NB for in combination of supplying/ receiving plants.
Create STO ME21N
As it is normal there in the item details we should get shipping date i.e. customer number
Go for Delivery VL10B
Shipping point *****
Select PO go for execute
then select the delivery then go for delvy ............create delvy,,,, delvy number generated.
Goods Issue VL02
Delvy doc **********
Click on picking
enter the picking qty
Click on PGI
in the mean time check in the PO history you will get the details
Goods receipt MIGO
Stock transfers that include deliveries and billing documents/invoices are only possible between plants belonging to different company codes.
If you want to carry out a cross-company-code stock transport order with delivery but without a billing document, you must set the Relevant for Billing (data element FKREL) indicator in Customizing of the item type to "blank" (Not relevant for billing).
The following applications are involved in this type of stock transfer:
? Purchasing (MM-PUR) in entering the order
? Shipping (LE-SHP) in making the delivery from the issuing plant
? Billing (SD-BIL) in creating the billing document for the delivery
? Inventory Management (MM-IM) at goods receipt in the receiving plant
Invoice Verification (MM-IV) at invoice receipt in the receiving
Transfer of goods from one location to another location, it may be between plants within the same company code or in different company code's plants.
within the company code, but plants,
receiving plant will raise the STO in Supplying/issuing plant-ME21n,
Supplying plant will deliver the goods to receiving plants ,
then we need to pick n post the Goods Issue-VL02n,
now when we can observe that the STO qty will be added into receiving plant and reduced in Delivering plant,
To do this, we need do prior customization in SPRO-IMG,-
material should be created in both plants( receiving & Supplying)
-maintain the stock only in supplying plant
-create a dummy customer in supplying plant's sales area(if u have one sales area, create in tat comp code n sales area)
-assign this customer number to receiving plant's details along with the sales area,
-Assign the STO doc type(UB) to Supplying plant, along with checking rule
-Assign the Del type (NL/NLCC) to Supplying n receiving plant.

we can transfer material from one company code to other company code, One Plant to other Plant & one storage Location to other storage location . if material is valuated then accounting document will get generated while GR . material l price will get updated for new plant/ company code
Depends on your valuation type whether it is company code or plant

I have gone through many threads in Forum but confusion in Pricing Part..
Some are mixing with the inter company sales proces..

Do the following steps for STO Customizing:-
1. Create a customer master record for the issuing plant.
2. Create a vendor master record for the issuing plant, and enter customer account number in the Customer field on the Control screen.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the receiving plant.
4. Assign the plants to the customer master record in Customizing for Materials Management (MM), by choosing Purchasing <Purchase Order < Set Up Stock Transport Order< Plants.
The Process Flow would be as follows :-
Create a stock transport order, following the standard procedure, and send the order to the issuing plant.
Issuing plant has processes your order, and when it is ready to ship,the storeperson at the issuing plant issues the goods using a transfer posting. The excise clerk there creates an excise invoice.The excise supervisor verifies and posts the excise invoice.It then sends the goods to you, together with the excise invoice.
Once the goods arrive, you follow the standard procedure for incoming excise invoices:
The excise clerk captures the excise invoice, using the stock transport order as the reference document. The storeperson enters the goods receipt, again using the stock transport order as the reference document.Alternatively, you can first enter the goods receipt and then capture the excise invoice.
The excise supervisor then posts the excise invoice.

Stock transfer between two plants under the same company code at profit

Hello,
Hello,
I have a scenarios. One plant is selling a part to other plant at a margin. Both plants belongs to the same legal entity.
How can I map this scenario in SAP?
What will be the cost of my part in these two plants?
What mechanism I would use to transfer the stock from supplying plant to the buying plant?
Your urgent reply is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi
To map this scenario, you should use Profit Centre Accounting.
Example
Matl XYZ is to be transferred from Plant 1000 to Plant 2000 at a profit.
Value of Matl XYZ in Plant 1000 is $100
Transfer Price: $120
From FI view point, there would not be any Accounting document as both Plants belong to the same Company Code.
From PCA view:
Plant 1000:
Internal Revenues Dr. 120
Stock                  Cr. 100
Profit Margin        Cr.    20
Plant 2000:
Stock                                 Dr. 120
Delivery from Profit Centre    Cr. 120
Effectively, the value of Matl XYZ in Plant 1000 remains at $100 and in Plant 2000, it is $120.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks

Is it possible to assign existing plant to different new company code

Hello,
we have created one company code and two plants A001 and A002 plants. Both plants are having some entries.(created So. PO. scheduling agreements )
Now business decided that ,they want to assign A002 plant to another company code. Is it possible to add this to new company code.
Before A000 company code was having two plants A001 and A002.
Is it possible to Add A002 plant to Different company code?
Regards
sapman

Hi,
If u assign the same existing plant to another company code then it will lead to inconsistencies since there will be old and new purchasing documents created for that plant even after " clearing" your open pur documents like PO,GR,IR sched agmt etc
so I think the best way is to
1. close all existing open entries in that plant
2. create a new plant in other company code by copying the old one
3. Assign new plant to diff co code
4. To stop further transactions in it just De activate old plant and also by doing this previous "Transaction History remains intact" -
5. Extend required Material Masters for this new plant in diff co code
Hope this helps u !

Reassign Plants from one company code to another company code

Hi Gurus,
We need to move plants from the current company code to a new company code. I know this is possible in configurartion, however, I not sure on what implications this may cause to the new company code. We are looking for a way to not creating new plants under the company code, and we believe reassign plants to the new company is the best way.
Could you please let me know what might be the impact on this? on Finance? etc...
Thanks in advance,
Richard

To me, it is something alarming!!!
You are trying to assign the plants to new company codes after removing the assignment from the other company code. In my opinion you need to first consult a MM and a FI specialist and not a SD specialist.
In the old assignment, there might be transactions done (for example goods movement, different material documents etc..). If you assign the plant to new company code, then how will you retrieve the old historical documents? I don't think even if you archive the documents, you could retrieve after assigning the plant to new company code.
I would suggest, think twice before you do anything/do enough testing in development system, or consult with MM/FI personnel or consult SAP before reassigning the plant.
Regards,

Avaiability check across All Plants for all company codes

Hi
How to Check ATP in Availability Check in Sales Order across plants in all the company codes.
Currently its showing me only one company code plants when i click on other Plants Button in Availability control
Reg.
Amol

Hello Amol,
In sales orders, when you write a item material SAP makes it an automatic determination for the plant who belongs to master data information. The first step for SAP search strategy is find over the Customer Material Information, if it does not have information it makes the second step and search information over the Ship-to party, and the third step its search in the master material. If it does not find information, SAP does not propose a plant for that item material.
Taken this process in consideration and for this reason, the item material made the Availability Check for one particular plant.
If do you like to know more about your material stocks, one option its search the quantity available for sales in the plants using the MB52 transaction; and other option could be over your sales order, in the Availability Control, go in the menu to u201CGo tou201D, u201COthers Plantsu201D; or if your prefer you can use u201CShift+F5u201D.

hi,
I am trying to create a Stock Transport Order (STO) with document type UB and item category U. My objective is to transfer material from Plant (supplying plant) 100 to Plant (receiving plant) 1100 within one company code (1000) with STO.
For this purpose I created a raw material 1434 in plant 1000 with sales org 1 view and in that view entered in delivering plant field 1000 as delivery plant. After that I extended material 1434 to plant 1100 without changing anything what I did while creating the material first in Plant 1000 except in organizational level I entered 1100 in the plant field. I entered Sales org 1000 and distribution channel 10 in organization level for both plant while creating and extending the material. In me21n I chose Stock Transport Order with document type UB and item category as U also receiving Plant as 1100. With this when I tried to save the STO the message, I am getting an error, Cannot determine shipping data for the material 1434?
I am doing solely mm function why I need to create Customer master? In this case plant 1100 is the customer right?
Solution:
1. Mat.(1434) should be maintained in both the plants. (1000&1100).
2. Should have enough stock in supplying plant(1000).
3. Make its supplying plant as a vendor in vendor master record in receiving plant(1100).
4. Make it receiving plant as a customer in customization.
    Create customer (xd01) & and define the shipping data for plants in both the plants.
    Path: spro u2013 img u2013 m.mgmt u2013 purchasing u2013 po u2013 set up STO u2013 define shipping data (1 by1 )
    In Receiving plant (1100)                         In Supplying plant (1000)
    Customer num. 123345 (for ex.)              Customer num. -
(don't fill)
    Sales org.yyy
    Dist. Channel
    Sales div. y
5. Assign doc. Type is "NL" for intra company STO. If STO is inter company, Assign doc. Type is "NLCC".
    Position doc type is "UB"
    Enter supplying plant(1000) & doc type (NL) & checking rule (ex:01)
6. Assign doc. Type is "UB" to u'r plants.(PO)
    Go for new entries
    Enter supplying plant(1000) & Receiving plant (1100) & doc type (UB).
7. Create a PO, choose the doc type is `UB' & item cat.'U', Enter supplying plant as a vendor in PO of the receiving plant(1100).
8. Provide this num (PO) to SD people, they will do the delivery by using transactional code is VL10B.
9. Sales people they will provide "out bound delivery num".
10. Do the GR. In GR the second tab 05 out bound delivery instead of PO mov.type 101.
11. See the stock over view in the receiving & supplying plants.
thanking you
