Returnable packaging-vendor and customer sides

Dear Experts,
I have searched through the internet as well as on this forum but I was not able to find the information I am looking for.
I have the following issue concerning the Returnable packaging process in SAP:
I need to gather overall information concerning the returnable packaging.
The process is as follows:
My vendor provides me with some materials that come with returnable packaging (e.g.Pallet01) -> Assuming I am just a middleman, I sell the goods to my customer and also send them on the same Pallet01 (one day my customer must return the pallet to me and I must return it to the vendor).
- What are the settings I must set in customizing and in material master?
- How would the process look like in the system (for example are there specific settings I must make to be able to see the packaging per customer in MB58 (I have set item category group LEIH in material master - is this the only setting to assure this, plus I am not sure if the field where I should put LEIH is General item category group or Item category group - both on Sales: sales org.2 tab in material master; Plus is there any way I can control what settings does item category group have? When I go to SPRO Sales and Distribution->Sales->Sales Document->Sales Document Item->Define Item Category Groups - there is no option to click inside the certain group))?
- In what report I can see how many Pallets I owe to the vendor and how many Pallets each customer should return to me (is there one report that would show everything or do I have to use separate reports)?
- How do I proceed if the vendor decides to invoice me for the pallets or I decide to invoice my customer (I would like to know the best practices)?
I tried to enter packaging from vendor to special stock type M (with move 501 M added to the goods receipt for PO), than it's working to see it in the stock report assigned to that particular vendor. But what if (and this is the case) I am selling the goods on the same packaging to my customer? Cause I am not able to add the pallets from special stock M to the outbound deliver.
Thank you in advance,
Krystyna

Dear Vikram Shukla,
In fact, my question is more related to how to link the returnable packaging with the vendor - raw materials combination (PIR), which for my understanding is more related to sourcing part.
Anyway, could you please advice how could I transfer my question to MM forum?
Many thanks in advance and best regards-
Mengyu

Profit Center population in the Vendor and Customer Line items

hello
our client is asking for getting profit center in the vendor and customer line items where in the view FBL5n and fbl1n we are not getting the profit center populated - in the new gl i understand that there is a standard report based on the gl account.
but our business is not satisfied with the report and expecting report at profit center level.
Can any one suggest any way of doing this.
regards,
Vijay

Dear Vijay,
Let me provide you my view of solutioning for this. This is an enahcement that needs to be done
1. You can get the profit center from the given vendor and customer line item at the time of posting, using an enahcement you will be able to capture it.
2. Existing the profit center field is not populated in the BSIK,BSAK,BSID and BSAD tables
3. Hence, in the same enhancement once you capture the profit center , you can write the code that profit center is updated in these tables also.
4. This will help you to do the vendor line item wise selection in the FBL1N, FBL5N profit center wise.
Constraints of this solution:
The only constraint remains where in the for a given document if there are multiple profit center, then the system will do the splitting profit center wise for a vendor line item, which will not populate the profit center in those tables as there is only one field available in the bsid etc.. tables.
This basically would be the one the soltuion where in as seeen from the end user ther eis no change in the front end interface , the way they are doing always they can do.
You need to also take care the % of document splitting means cross profit center postings /cross document splitting charactericstics postings and the volume involved in this. so that you can suggest this to your client.

How can i clear the vendor and customer open line items at a time same vendor as a customer of the company (same vendor same customer and equal invoices )

my vendor and customer are same . purchase invoice due100000 and sales invoice amount is also 100000 at a time with any manual action , have any setting for cleared both vendor and customer line items at a time ...........

X Ltd. will be Vendor & Customer.
Purchase Invoice is booked under Vendor SAP number & Sales Invoice is booked under Customer SAP number. Then you can transfer amount from Vendor to Customer or vice versa with T-code F-04.
Then if you have transferred amount from customer to Vendor (F-04), Vendor account will have two entries Debit & Credit. Then go for clearance with T-code F-44 clear Vendor.

Will the confirmation have only open items ???? or can it take even the cleared items along with it.Can the print program be modified to take even the cleared items along with it.
Kindly advise.
Thanks in advance

Karpagam

Hi,
We are using print program SAPF130K and SAPF130D for vendor and customer respectively.
My query is can we bring even the cleared items alongwith the open items in the same print program???
Now we have line items of open line items only?? As per our exploration into the program... we get only open items..
Also we are using SAP10 and SAP11 as the correspondence type.Kindly advise as to correspondence type should be changed so that it can print both the open and cleared items?
Please reply ASAP as it is very urgent.

Invoice image in vendor and customer document

Hello,
We have got following requirement.
Currently we are storing pysical invoice copies of vendor and customer in a pysical file. But now we want to see the image of invoices in vendor and customer document respectively.
It means, if it is possible to have an attachment button or some icon available when we see vendor and customer document.
Please advise how can we link the pysical invoice with SAP document. And is this something related to DMS or Archivieng Link.
Please suggest.
Best Regards,
Tapan

Hi Tapan,
At my company we are currently doing just this.
We have a server outside of SAP that stores our images. We did not want to store the images within SAP.
We use the SAP document number to link the image to the SAP document.
We do all our AP input from images. After an invoice is entered, and the document number is generated, we forward the image to a
e mail address for the server using the document number in the subject line. The image gets attached to the document. Then the image can be viewed by clicking on the Services for object icon.
I am sure there is some more techical stuff that goes this, like an RFC connection. I am sorry I am not technical. I am the functionala AP person. We also have a program that takes the image and attaches it to the cross company document if there is one.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Use of Vendor and Customer in 'Define Shipping Data for Storage Location"

Under the stock transfer order configuration, there is a IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
In this at storage location level, we can assign, sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location.
The customer number is used a sold-to-party in outbound deliveries.
But I am not able to figure out what's the use of VENDOR number we are specifying in this step.
If I am assiging the VENDOR Number here to every storage location, then when I am creating cross-company code Stock transport order, which vendor code I will select the one assigned to PLANT or one Assigned to Storage location.
Also I need to know what vendor account group I will use for creating this storage location vendor. I have more than one storage locations) under one plant. Soif I used account group as "0007" plant, SAP doesn't allow me to assigne one plant code to 2 vendors and in vendor master on 'additional purchasing data' screen I am not seeing storage location field, it has only 'PLANT' field.
So I need to know-
1. Which account group to use for creating storage location vendor
2. What's the ultimaye use of this vendor code
3. What vendor # I will use while creating cross-company PO (one for plant or one for storage location.
Thanks

Hi,
Define Shipping Data
Here in this step you maintain the customer number of the receiving plant. This customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the goods recipient (ship-to party) if stock transfer to be carried out with an SD delivery
A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant.
You can enter a vendor (transport vendor) in the stock transport order
In IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
You can assign sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location through Plant only.Means this Vendor is created for entering in the STO .This vendor is created for the the Plant (Supplying Plant)so as u can create STO.

Ageing wise vendor and customer report

hi....
Where i can get ageing wise vendor and customer report?
Thanks & Regards
Rekha shrama

Hello
First configure credit management & customise.
A/R Summary
Degree of ageing
You can set the allowed degree of ageing in Customizing for Sales, under Basic Functions ® Credit Management/Risk Management ® Credit Management ® Define Automatic Credit Control.
Under Checks in financial accounting/ old A/R summary, you can enter the permitted degree of ageing for the A/R summary, in the fíelds Permitted days and Permitted hours. Here, you can define how old the A/R summary can be, in order to be called up for a check. If the permitted degree of ageing for the A/R summary is exceeded in the credit check, then the document is blocked.
Fields allowed days and allowed hours are only available for entry if you have entered an X in field Read A/R Summary in Customizing. The path is: Accounts Receivable and Accounts ® Credit Management ® Credit Control Account ® Make basic settings for credit management.
Updating
The A/R summary is either sent periodically (with the help of the report RFCMCRCV) from central Financial Accounting to the decentralized Sales and Distribution units according to ALE distribution model or, if an obsolete A/R summary is presented, updated for the credit check by the system per remote function.
In order that the system is burdened as little as possible, SAP recommends you stick to the following order:
Program run: Incoming payments in central FI
Program run: Distribution A/R summary from central FI to decentralized Sales and Distribution units
Program run: Renewed credit check for blocked sales documents in decentralized Sales and Distribution units
Status Management for Obsolete A/R Summary
If the A/R summary is obsolete, the credit status Credit data obsolete is set. This means that the document is blocked, and appears in the credit representativeu2019s worklist. In Customizing for Sales, in the section Automatic Credit Control, for the single, aforementioned checks, for which FI data is necessary, you can define whether a warning appears in the obsolete data, or whether a status is set.
If you are working with the A/R summary, and would like to re-process obsolete data, it is recommended that you set a status.

To update vendor and customer details in BP transaction

I have created a donor in the BP transaction . i need to update the vendor and customer details for the reated donor.
please can someone suggest some BAPI's or FM's which are available to do the same.

Hello Om,
You can get vendor/costumer number and their names in FBL3N when you get bank ledger's line item.
You must use BTE functions.
I don't your techinal skills about SAP but if you don't know ABAP or ABAP dictionary details, you can get help your ABAPer.
I will explain step by step.
First of all, if you don't use BTE before, You must create a product on FIBF.
Call FIBF transaction -> Settings -> Products -> ...of a customer
Create a new line,
Product : ZFI
Text : BTE Products for FI Exit
Product active : tick check fro activation.
Then you must call SE11 for structure RFPOS.
You must use append structure function for this structure and you can define ZFI_RFPOS append structure.
Define 4 fields.
Component : KUNNR - Component type : KUNNR
Component : NAMED - Component type : NAME1
Component : LIFNR - Component type : LINFR
Component : NAMEK - Component type : NAME1
Then save and active your RFPOS structure.
After that, you must do same step for structure RFPOSX.
Then go to SE37 and copy from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 to ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM.
After copy action, you must uncomment this line on ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM's source code. It's very very important;
E_POSTAB = I_POSTAB.
Then you should add some ABAP code for getting customer & vendor details.
I give you some examples, you can use it. (next message on this thread, please check)
Then save and active FM.
Call FIBF transaction again.
FIBF -> Settings -> Process Modules -> ...of a customer
Define a new line.
Process : 00001650
Function Module : ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650
Product : ZFI
and this customizing.
Then you go to SE38 transaction.
start report RFPOSXEXTEND. After starting, a pop-up appears, you must click YES.
After those operations, you can see customer/vendor code and their names on FBL3N.
I hope it helps to you.
Regards,
Burak.

FI Open Vendor and Customer Line item

Dear Experts,
Do we have to migrate the Tax code in the Vendor and Customer Line Items during data migration?
I read somewhere that is it not necessary to do so.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi ,
     It depends on the legal enviroment and sometimes on the settings used in your system. It is a matter of whether the Tax code information is needed in any circumstance that could arise subsequent to migration.
Examples where you must migrate the tax codes:-
     i) Deferred VAT is used.
     ii) Prepayments with Gross Display.
    iii) Prompt payment discounts are VAT relevant.
Kind regards

Vendor and customer assignment

Hi,
In EDSDC table, I can see the assignment between the vendor and customer , sales area and the sales doc type . but where can we assign this in IMG?
pls suggest.
Regards
Nawzir

Hi Syed R,
 We wont assign vendor -customer n viceversa in IMG but we assign it in Easy access, while maintianing master data-XD01/XK01
 In some cases,
our vendor might be our customer n at the same time,
our customer become our vendor,
eg: MRF tyres company sell the tyres to Tata motors, n MRF tyres can buy the 4 wheelers from Tata motors,
for this , we create MRF tyres as vendor(XK01) n customer(XD01),
after that in XK02- we assign this customer number into Vendor Master record, n
Vendor number to customer master record, to identify the sytem ,MRF tyres is a customer *** vendor,
Here we need to have 2 different Master data's becoz of its accounting documents ,
as we knew, Customer cums into Debitros-A/R module
Vendor cums into Creditors- A/P module.
in XD02-general data-control data, u fill find vendor field,
*hope this helps,
