Rescheduling of Third party Items

Hi,
I have a strange scenario in our project, when availability check ikon is selected for the TAS line item, system is recalculating the confirmed date even though Purchase order is created and Goods has been supplied to the customer.
To make more complicated, this isssue is happening for only for the sales orders created in two sales organization only and rest of the sales organizations system is not DOING the availability check when purchase order is slected.
All the sales organizations use same item category/sales order/Requirement Class/Requirement type and the Fixed qty and date indicator is selected for all sales organizations.
I do not have any clue to analyze this strange behavior. I kindly reqeust all of you to proive your opinion in this case.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
Sridhar B

Dear Prakash,
I am thankful for your reply.
I have checked Materials for sales orders belong to both the sales org (working and not working) but Availability check indicator is marked for materials in both the sales organizations.
We are using CS as schedule line category for both the sales org, and it is not marked for availability check.
I kindly reqeust you to proive me your advice in this regard.
Warm Regards,
Sridhar B

Third Party Item on Billing Due List

Hi all,
Is there any way to change the standard process of a TAS (Third Party) item as it relates to customer billing? The standard process only updates the Billing Due List when the vendor invoice is posted through MIRO. We would like the Billing Due List to update when the Goods Receipt for the item is posted through MIGO. Sometimes we have to wait a couple of months for some of the vendor invoices and we'd like to go ahead and invoice the end customer in those cases.
Thanks.
--Jack

Hello Chandra,
Thanks for the reply but this setting has been tested here and it will not, unfortunately, change the timing of the Billing Due List update. All it does is tell SAP where to get the billed qty from. The 'E' says to get it from the Goods Receipt while the 'F' says to pull it from the vendor's invoice.
Thanks again,
--Jack

Third Party Items and Receiving Calendar

Hi Gurus,
I have a question about third-party items and receiving hours. I've searched this forum, OSS, and other sources, but I'm stumped.
First some background: our company ships product from stock and third-party items. For each customer we maintain a single unloading point, and the receiving hours for this unloading point are the days the customer is open.
For stock items, we have transportation scheduling switched on. SAP determines the delivery date for these items based on the route and the receiving calendar.
For example, assume an order is placed on Monday 9/24, we are using a 1-day route, and the customer is only open on Fridays. The system will schedule the delivery for Friday 9/28 - based on the customer's receiving calendar.
For third-party items we have a committed 1-day delivery time from our vendors. My problem is that in this case SAP does NOT consider the receiving calendar. For example, if an order is placed on Monday 9/24 and the customer is only open on Fridays, the system will schedule delivery for Tuesday 9/25.
This is a big issue for us because we drop-ship refrigerated product to the customer. If the product arrives on a day the customer isn't open, it will be damaged.
Does anyone know how to get SAP to consider the customer's receiving calendar for third-party items?
Thanks
Rick

Hi Navneetha,
Thanks for d reply.
I hv checked d mentioned tables and Itm Categories nothing is +ve there. All 3 itms hv TAS itm category. Also I agree with ur MIRO statement.
I found one thing which might b d cause plz check.
As we knw dat we cant change the schedule ln date and quantity once the Pur. Requisition created. and we cant make changes in sales order itm line if the PO is created for that Pur. Requisition. Bcoz afteward the PO wont be updating the Pur Requsition and sales order automatically.
But here the schedule line date at d schedl ln category for itm 2 is changed by a certain Batch job after the PO cration.
Therefore I think this wd b d reason that the item line 2nd is not getting updated in sales order from the PO and looks open.
The change of schedule line dates is not maintained in the PO manually ever.
So would it b d reason for the inconsistent doc flow updates and 2nd item being open as not invoiced yet?

Sandesh

Purchase Req for third party items on SO-where are required fields defined?

I have that issue where when a third party item is entered on a sales order, it goes on credit hold and when you release it, it tries to create a purch req but can't because of the required field - Val Price is not automatically filled in. I thought I could make the field not required by going to config and under purch
requistion>Define Screen layout at Doc level and changed the price and
unit option to optional instead of required but it still treats it like
a required entry. That config change only affected that field if creating a purch req from scratch, didn't affect if creating one from sales order third party item.
Thanks for any input!

Hi Mike,
Please contact to sd consultant regarding that.

Report on third party item status

Hello gurus,
we have several SD orders with third party items (item category TAS).
Now we are looking for a report concerning the status of those items (purchase requisition created, purchase order created, wholesaler invoice posted etc.).
Is there such a report or do we have to create our own?
Thanks in advance
Alicia

As per my knowledge there is no std. report based on your requirement.
Individually, through sales order - status overview, you can do that.
So, you may have to go/opt for customized report based on client's requirement.
You can try your hand on following tables:
VBUK-Order status
VBUP-Line item detail status
Thanks & Regards,

Unable to reinvoice a third party item with dangerous goods check

Hi,
I have got a scenario where a user has created a consolidated Invoice from 4 different third party sales orders .Since he had wanted individual invoices of these sales orders,he cancelled the consolidated invoice and for 3 sales order changed the bill to party to individual and was able to reinvoice 3 sales orders individually.For these 3 sales orders, order quantity was in Base unit of measure(1 EA) and purchase order,GR ,IR and customer invoice was in 1 EA.
For the 4th Sales the order quantity was in gallons(Sales unit) which was different from base unit of measure for that material which was in kgs.For this material dangerous goods check was activated.The purchase order was in Lbs equivalent to the order quantity in Gallons.The GR ,IR was in LBS short of order quantity.Consolidate Invoice was in kgs(if quantity was in 5600 kgs,invoiced quantity was for 5000kgs as per GR/IR).The user after cancelling the consolidated invoice is not able reinvoice this order when he goes for reinvoicing he gets a message that 'Billing document could not be processed,see log' but there is no message on the log.What could be the reason as to why he is not able to reinvoice this third party item?
Regards
Mohammed Roshan

Hi Patrick,
if you want to bill third-party order before Invoice Receipt, then billing relevance FKREL must be 'B'.
In customizing copy control the Billing quantity indicator should be 'E'.
Please test hese settings.

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?

Third-party item in stock transfer order

We have the following situation:
The company A receives a sales order from a external customer. The
company A buys the goods to the company B (the company B is an
intercompany vendor).The company B has to send the goods to the
external customer directly. Company A invoices to the external customer
and company B invoices to company A.
It's a triangular deal, but when we try to create a purchase order with
a third-party item for an intercompany vendor, the system show the
following message: "Third-party not defined in the case of vendor with
plant assignment.
Are there other solutions ?

A third party sales order creates a purchase requisition to be procured from an external vendor.
Procurement from an internal vendor (has plant assignment) can only be done with item category U.
The field item category in the purchase requistion is S in case of 3rd party business.
The field item category in the purchase requistion is U in case of stock transfer business.
It is techically not possible that this field has both S and U at the same time.
Further a U requisition does not make sense for 3rd party, as the nature of the stock transfer is to move goods between 2 locations, but in 3rd party business you ask a vendor to send goods to a customer directly. this means you never receive this goods in the other plant, hence you would never release the stock from transit stock.
An alternative could be to create an extra vendor master for you plant B, that is not linked to a plant, and should only be used for this 3rd party business. Discuss this with your finance guys, usually they dont want this.
Alternative you create a standard order at plant A and create a STO to get the material virtually from plant B to plant A. this adds work, and does not really reflect the real chain. Often a source for errors.
Alternative you directly create the order as standard order in plant B. Often the sales guys dont want it this way. they still thinking in silos.With SAP there is certainly some change and difference to the old fashioned thinking

Ho to fined out third party item

Hi expert ,
i have facing one problem in third party sales process , how to fiend out third party item in table level , plz explain me sir

Normally standard Item category for 3rd party sales is TAS,if they are using the customized that you have to find out in VOV7 T Code from the description. first check for TAS in Table level or else find the customized item category and put it in VBAK table.
hope it clears your query.

Restrict - invoicing third party item

Third Party
Hi, i am facing an unusual situation, I want in case of third party item processing system show restrict the creation of Invoice unless i do MIRO of the PO raised in MM
Here when i change the Item Category to TAS in order and then directly invoiced it , System is allowing me to do the invoicing.
infact it should stop me from invoicing.
Please guide as How i will restrict the user to NOT to create Invoice unless MIRO happens.
User is able to create sales order and then Billing simuntaneously.

Hi Rishi,
could you please check the itemcategory TAS billing relavence . if billing relavence is F then the user cannot do simultaneously order and billing because billing relavence is order related billing according to invoice qty. so it restricts till the user does MIRO. There are two processes in Thirdparty scenarion
1) with shipping notification
2) without shipping notification.
If your client follows the second process then it is possible sales order and subsequently billing without getting shipping notification.
Thanks and Regards,
Murthy V.N

Rescheduling for the third party items

Dear Experts,
I have one issue. In the sales order there are TAN and TAS items. TAN items are delivered and done with PGI. For TAS items PO created and then MIRO also done. Now some new items are added in the sales order.
Why is it that the system reschedules the dates (Delivery date, loading date as well as Material availability date) for TAS items but at the same time it does not reschedules the TAN items. Strange but true..
I would like to add here one more point. When there is a complete delivery indicator system considers the delivery date of the TAS item as the highest delivery date and reschedules the dates for rest of the items. Actually TAS items should not be considered at all since the MIRO is processed and the delivery to the customer has taken place.
Is this a standard process..? Kindly help on this issue. if anyone has any idea on SAP note please do let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishita..

Hello
There are no other supported interfaces or tools other than LOGMINER to mine and interpret the oracle redo/archived logs. Oracle has the rights to change the redo format or make any changes in the redo stream or change vectors as part of any patchsets or new releases. Any third party software might face problems if Oracle changes its redo format or makes changes in the redo format.
You might need to take a look at the following metalink note:
<Note: 97080.1> "Extracting Data from Redo Logs Is Not A Supported Interface"
However Oracle has a replication technology called Oracle Streams which infact mines the redo/archived logs with the help of a new background process called 'capture process' which does not use any APIs but is built into to Oracle Kernel itself. Oracle Enterprise Edition will have this feature built-in.

Third party items are not invoiced totally though the MIRO done for all

Hi Gurus,
I have a third party sales order with 3 item lines.
All these three items are delivered to the customer by the vendor and invoice verification MIRO also done for all three.
Now when the order related invoice creation background job run and invoice created for this order is missing the first line item in the invoice. I cant understand what is the problem with first item line? Order is now not in the invoice due list also. manually invoice creation also gives the log that the order is completely invoiced. But when we see the document flow for item line 1 it says the item line is yet open and not invoiced.
suggest me as the invoice posting is required for this item line also. suggest all the possible reasons.

Sandesh

Third Party Item Category TAS

Can anyone advise the follolwing?
For TAS item category under copy control OR -> F2, i changed the the billing qty from 'F' to 'E' such that i can allow SD billing to take place once GR is done for the back to back PO. However, i am still not able to generate billing until i complete the IV for the PO. Is there other thing i missed out?
Thanks
Peter

Hi
You have mentioned about the third party process and also mentioning about intercompany invoice. Considering that you are asking about the third party process I'm giving the below reply..
This is controlled by the Billing Relevance field in the item category. Here if we specify F - then the system checks for the vendor invoice quantity(MIRO). If you select the value B - then the system will allow you to do invoice without checking for the vendor invoicing.
Thanks,
Ravi

Third Party Item

Dear SAP Guru's,
The Situation is for Third party order item : Cat TAS
When I am doing the order saving due to credit check the system is not allowing to create the PR and the order cannot be saved before the releasing of the credit check.
I want the credit check to happen but at the same time it should not block from the PR to be created.
Let the delivery get blocked for the failed credit ckeck but the PR creation should not Stop.
How can I configure the same scenerio.
regards,
SAP SD

Hi,
What I meant was, the PR would have been created when the sales order was saved. There is no need to create PR manually as this does not come under standard third party order processing.
In one of my previous projects, while working in a similar scenario, I got a popup upon saving the sales order which states that the order may be edited or saved. There was also an information that the order was under credit check. Then we saved the order and try to late the PR # through the path - Item - Schedule lines - Procurement; but we were unable to find the same.
Subsequently after releasing the credit thru VKM3 for that sale order, we followed the same above specified menupath and were able to locate the PR#.
Please check now and confirm.
Regards,
Zahid

2LIS_11_V_SCL - Third party Item Category TAS not passed

Hello,
It appears that the standard extractor for 2LIS_11_V_SCL is not passing Sales Order quantites when the item category is TAS (third party processing). Can someone tell me why and is anyone one aware of a note that can be applied, so that we do capture this information.
Regards,
Ginny

So it sounds like you are doing Free Third Party Order Processing, but I am not clear on what you have written.
Are you saying it sounds like what I have done with item and scheduled line is correct? Or do you need to understand further what I have done?
Also I think you are saying we can create a PO where we can assign a GL without a cost element . . . How is that possible? Is there a setting in configuration that allows for this situation that you can enter the GL you want?
Also, if this is possible. Once we create the PO, and then do the Invoice Verification . . . will the sales order automatically close or is there another step to close the order . . . since no billing to close it?
Thanks!
