Sales Order Processing for "Services"

Dear SD Gurus,
Our Client is providing some services to our regular customers and they want to follow sales process for services.
Process should be -
Create Sales Order, Then create Billing document w.r.t. Sales Order. (delivery is not required)
Kindly help
Edited by: sagar g on Jul 28, 2009 9:11 AM

Kindly do the following Settings :-
1. Create Sales Order Type in VOV8 and maintain Order Related Billing only with Billing Type as F1.
2. Use item Category as TAD
3. Assign Item category in VOV4 with Sales Order Type + LEIS = TAD
4. Maintain the Same Item Category group in Material Master.
Also maintain the Copy Control Settings between Sales Order type & Billing Type.
Best Regards,
Ankur

Sales order creation for service items?

Hi,
My client is a courier company and it wants to implement sap. You offer only service how do you map in sap??. can we create sales order for service items.?. and how about the entire outbound process can be mapped?. Any ideas or insights or practical experience. Kindly share.
Regards,
Jothiswaran.

Jothiswaran,
I think it could be mapped with SAP CS - Sale of service functionality in R/3.
Rough Idea:
Create a Sales order with Service product (Mumbai2chennai) with a Task list (Routing - for each stage). Let it triggers a Service order. Confirm each stage in Service order with Truck number for tracking. Once you complete the delivery, do TECO in Service order. May be advance billing or post billing.
Try in SAP CS.

SAP R/3 to External System RFC issue during Sales Order Processing

Hi Experts,
We have one Peculiar issue in our SAP R/3. Request you to help me in resolving this.
Order Processing:
During Sales Orders Processing, for every line item a RFC is being initiated from SAP R/3 to an external system called Trilogy Pricer to get the Pricing data.
Trilogy Pricer sends the Pricing data to SAP R/3 and the respective Orders are being processed in SAP R/3.
Current Issue:
The issue we are facing is that, once the Pricing data is sent to SAP R/3, Trilogy Pricer expects an acknowledgement (RFC_OK) from SAP R/3 in order to release the RFC connection. Intermittently, Trilogy Pricer is not receiving this or any kind of acknowledgement from SAP R/3 causing the connection to hang which is causing several problems.
For example:
On every business day, there will be 50,000 Sales orders.
So, 5 or 10 sales orders are getting hanged every day.
We tried to simulate this issue in Dev and Stage environments by processing 30,000 to 40,000 sales orders.
But we were unsuccessful, which means all the RFC connections were being closed as the external system is able to get the acknowledgements for all those orders from SAP R/3.
We are having this problem only in Prod.
Any thoughts to solve this issue is highly appreciated.
Advance thanks for your great help.
Thanks and Regards,
Srinivasa

Hi I am not sure if it was similar issue, but I once had a kindaa problem I solved using
CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK task
[DESTINATION {dest}]
[{PERFORMING subr}|ON END OF TASK].

Order Related Intercompany business process for Service material

Hi
I am looking for some info on Intercompany Business Process for service material - Order related.
I have created Sales order (ZBOR) copied from standard sales order (TA / OR), a billing document (ZIVA) copied from IVA, an item category (ZTAD) copied from TAD standard.
A material type used is DIEN (Services).
Note 63459 indicated that I have to use a copy requirement 613 for item category ZTAD. The copy requirement 613 was created by copying requirement 013 according to the attached reference.
I did the same according to the note. When I tried to create first billing document i.e. to end customer, its fine.
When I create second billing document i.e. intercompany billing, its going to first pricing procedure and end customer as Payee, which should not happen. Rather it should go to intercompany pricing procedure (ICAA01) and to Internal customer as payee.
Can someone guide me how to solve this issue?

when i run intercompany billing (ZIVA), it goes to copy control routines 613 , buts its picking end customer pricing procedure and payee as end customer , not picking intercompany pricing procedure and internal customer as Payee.
I am not sure what to do with 613 routinees as suggested by OSS note. All is i created this 613 copying from 13.
Do i need to develop the logic of picking correct intercompany pricing procedure i.e ICAA01 , and need to get the right payee and some header information in this 613 routine . which means automatic pricing procedure determination is not done using customization in Order related Intercompany billing . Am i right to understand?
Please suggest me how do i solve this issue.
Please send it to my [email protected] email too.

Post order processing for sales document is not yet complete

hi,
sap gurus,
i am facing the error while saving the sales order and this ticket is unique and it is saying that
"post order processing for sales document is not yet complete".
please help me in this regard.
and it is blocking the order for further processing.
regards,
balajit

I dont think this is a standard error message. Some exit is applied for sale order to meet some requirements. You need to check with your ABAPer.
In fact, you can conclude yourself based on the error message number. If it starts with Z, then the above holds good.

SD process for service process

hi
what will be the SD flow for service process i.e i'm trying to create a service as a material ( for logistics service providers ).i need to do shipment.
i have created a material as a service(material type - DIEN), and i have created a sales order and O/B delivery is automatically created for that material . but i could not include that material in the shipment.
kindly post ur suggestions.
regards
shankar

Servide process in Sd scenario's are basically order related billing. The term order related billing will be much clear after I narate an example. If we speak of Rentals for housing or commercial, we are not physically delivering the product while billing. Hence we have a sales order & based on sales order, we directly bill the customer.
Another example is in third party scenario, we receive order from customer. as we do not manufacture that product, we place an order to vendor instructing the vendor to directly deliver to our customer. Though a product is being delivered, it is not being delivered from our plant, hence we do not create delivery in our system, but we certainly bill the customer. This again is order related billing, as we have indirectly provided a service to the customer, & also added our business volumes.
The above are process for services.

Impact of VC with Sales Order process on PP and MM

Hi,
My question is regarding configuration parameter ‘Process’ in configuration profile of a material. I have selected Sales Order (SET)
for the solution I am working on.
The requirement is to sell a product (FERT) with a service (NLAG). The product has only one characteristic with different values
representing service levels. For example, Computer with either premium service level, advanced service level, or standard service level.
The product computer has a production BOM with raw materials. I have a created another sales BOM as a part of variant configuration
with dependencies.
I am able to enter the product (configured) with service as its characteristic using variant configuration.
The order was delivered and invoiced without any error. However, marking the product as variant configured is impacting production planning(PIR
and MM( the product is also source through STO).
I would like to know why PP and MM is getting impacted as the configured material should only be relevant to SD(selected SET in configuration
profile) We don’t want to take the material configuration to PP or MM as the product need to be manufactured or procured without any
configuration and VC only need to be applied in sales order.
What is wrong with my approach? Am I missing something? if yes, what would be the correct approach considering my requirement?
Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Abdul

Hi Amber & Ritesh,
Yes, sales SET alone doesn’t affect planning or MM if item only has only sales BOM. The system
looks for configuration in production BOM as the material (FERT) is set as 'Material is configurable' i.e., MARA-KZKFG
Perhaps, I didn’t put much detail in my message. The errors (message no. 61259, 06836) in PIR and PO are due to MARA-KZKFG for finish good. For that, I either need to select Prod/Planning or Order BOM in planning profile and perform the required configuration to make it work. However,
this is not our requirement.
I want to be able to sell a set of Finish good (FERT) with service item(NLAG) using VC. However, the system doesn’t allow that due to above reason.
Please check the following SAP Help link. Here to my understanding, the header material can be set as configured material and only component could have production BOM.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/35/1db853dcfcb44ce10000000a174cb4/content.htm.
“This processing form means that in the sales order you can only process sales-relevant BOM items. You can use the item category group to define that requirements transfer and pricing are at component level. “
Ritesh, I think VC is ideal for MTO but we should be able to use it for MTS scenario. Regarding the BOMs, I wanted the same what you have explained. However, I don’t think, I can have two BOMs. My production BOM is getting impacted due to MARA-KZKFG so does the PIR&MRP.
As mentioned above, the production BOM got activated for configured material.
Thank you,
Abdul

Sale order Processing status

Hi gurus,
Where we check the sale order processing status configuration ?
Regards,
T.Murugu

Dear Murugu
If you see the document flow of the particular sales document, you can see the status.
If you want to know where the control is, go to VTLA, for the combination of your order type and delivery type, select your item category and execute. There you can see a field Update document flow. You have to check this box for status updation.

Different product hierarchy in sales order and in service order

Dear experts,
In VA03, I notice that
- under Line Item > Sales B, there is a field Product Hierarchy
- under Line Item > Account assignment, there is a field Order. From here, it links to a service order. In the service order, I can see a field Product Hierarchy too.
I would like to know if there is an implication when the field Product Hierarchy in sales order and in service order are different. Is it possible that this will cause an inconsistency?
Usually these two fields have the same value, since the value in sales order is copied from service order. However, in my case, the product hierarchy is changed/updated in service order, but not in sales order.

Hi,
We have document pricing procedure maintained at two levels for Sales order or Billing type.
The pricing procedure is determined based on SAles Area Customer pricing procedureDocument Pricing procedure+pricing procedure.
Example :For Sales Document type the document pricing rpocedure will be A and for billing type 'B"
Sales Area1A+Pricing procedure A
Sales Area1B+Pricing procedure B
Now A will be maintained in VOV8 and B will be maintained in VOFA.So two pricing procedures.

Sales Order Block for Billing

Hi All
I have a bussiness where I am reciving the SP and SH address details from Idoc and and i want to block the sales order for billing if the country code is different.
My Proposed Solution :
I would like to write a pice of code in MV45AFZZ that if the sales order country code is differnt then it should make a billing block.
My question is do I need to validate the country code from VBPA table or there is any other way to do this. As I cant do that from KNA1 or any other customer master table beacuse that address details is coming from Idoc and that may not the same as address in customer master.
Looking forward for your suggestion.
Thanks
AJ

Hello Kumar,
Could you be more specific in describing your business requirement ?
I have a bussiness where I am reciving the SP and SH address details from Idoc and
i want to block the sales order for billing if the country code is different.
What i could sense is for creation of Sales Order, you are getting the details for Sold-To-party and Ship-To-Party from IDOC, the business requirement is if the Country code is not same as that of master then the Sales Order processing should be blocked for Billing.
If this is the actual requirement for blocking the Sales order, then the right approach should be of fetching the Country code from ADRC table with reference to ADRNR number which you can pick up from KNVP table. And then you can go ahead with ABAper and write lines of code at MV45AFZZ.
Please update this thread to make a clear line of thoughts.

Revenue Account Determination based on Sales Order Document Type & Service Order Type

Hi Expert,
I have Customer Service Module with Resource Related Billing for services attached with SD.
When DP90 runs sales document debit memo request is created & then debt memo is created.
I need to configure Revenue Account Determination based on Sales Order Type and also based on Service Order Type.
I did not see any field catalogue in revenue account determination for order type, For communication structure KOMKCV Header and KOMPCV Item level there is no field for sales order type nor service order type.
Is it possible to bring in both order types? Can ABAP person do it?
How to bring these fields?
Is it possible & recommendd to have service order type filed AURAT for service order into this sturcture?
Is this configuration is OK acceptable by SAP? If so is there any chnace for issues errors & wrong determination from FI CO view?
Your valued input is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Prakash Parikh

Hi Prakash,
Yes, you can certainly add new table fields into the field catalog KOMKCV and KOMPCV and use it during account determination. You will also have to add these new fields in the user exit RV60AFZZ for it to work. I believe you will need ABAPer's help to make this work. The abaper will have to crate a ZZFIELD (ZZAUART for example) and put it in the structure and use the same in the user exit to pass the values.
In your case, what I am not sure is, are you looking to modify the existing standard tables or creating new ones. My suggestion is to create the new condition tables with these new fields (like document type) after adding it to the field catalog. Only modify the access sequence (KOFI) in such a way that your new tables are access first before it goes into standard tables (or you can adjust it according to your scenario.
We have done it in our company and it is working fine. Basically what we have done is to create new tables instead of modifying the standard ones. We have adjusted the access sequence in such a way that some of our custom tables are accessed first before the standard SAP tables (C001 to C005).
I found a similar requirement on SCN. This might help.
Adding New Field in Account Determination
Hope this helps.
