Sales order stock process

Hi All,
We are planning to implement sales order stock process. There is some confusion regarding the picking process of sales order stock. Can anyone help me in this matter, how to do picking for sales order stock item? Is this in the normal way or not?
Thanks,
Vijesh

Hi,
yes the stock is maintained for sales order and even blocked in MB1B using 412 -E ..in MMBE now the stock is showing as sales order stock .
this part is clear,
now the issue is regarding picking... how can we to picking process..can we do picking using sales order stock..it is because , in LS24 the stock is showing as E which is not in any bin locations.
In the normal process we are doing the picking from bin locations..
thanks to advise the picking process in sales order stock.

Third party process with Valuated sales order stock

Hi All,
We have third party sales order process with valuated sales order stock. The problem is that in the theird party PR which is triggered directly from the sales order it determines a stock account which is assigned to the BSX key in OBYC.
But since this is third party processing as per my understanding a consumption account assigned to key GBB-VAX (since account assignmnt category is X) should get determined, so that when the GR is done against the PO a consumption posting is done in the background.
I am not able to understand if the system is determining the stock account due to the fact that it is valuated sales order stock and if so, what should happen after GR. Should we have a stock created for the material which is physically directly delivered to the customer?
Regards,
V S

Hi,
Check GBB-VKA which is defined in OME9 for your ''E'' Account Assignment Category that SAP will debit upon GR posting
Also check "X" GBB-VAX and the G/L account assignment in OBYC
The posting on GR should be debit KBS -Credit GR-IR
Thanks

Sales order stock error in Process order confirmation

Hello SAP Gurus,
In Make To order scnario while I do COR6 order confirmation it gives me Error that Sales order stock does not exist.
Can anyone suggest me which way I can remove the error?
What is the Transaction and movement to transfer stock to SALES ORDER?
Please reply...
Thanks & Regards,
Bhavik Dangi.

Hi,
As per your mail, you can move the stock from normal stock to sales order stock through transaction MB1B with movement type 412 E. This route is generally follow if want to assign stocks manually to sales order stock otherwise if follow the PP route then system generates the stock against the sales order line item at the time of produciton confirmation and requirement type use in this are KSL, KE.
Rewards if it helps.

Move sales order stock to company stock in QI

Is there any movement type to move sales order stock to company's own stock in quality.
With 411 E quantity is transferred from unrestricted-use special stock E (sales order stock) to unrestricted-use companys own stock.
But my company requires that sales order stock be moved into company stock in QI.
411 E moves stock into MARD-LABST but we need it to be moved into MARD-INSME.
Any input on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pushpinder Randhawa.

Hi,
I believe your stock is not customer returns as picked from your question.
by copying the movment type the behaviour of movement type doesnot change. do you think by copying 411E and giving the name 911E you can post to QI stock ?
the defination of movement type 411E is self explainatory
411E Transfer posting of sales order stock to company's own stock
The quantity is transferred from unrestricted-use special stock E ( sales order stock), to unrestricted-use storage location stock.
no it is not possible by copying the movement type.
carry out 2 step process. from unresctricted transfer to QI.

Sale order costing process : Help required

Hello All,
Belatted Happy New Year 2011 to all.
I have a question related to Sale Order Costing. It goes like this,
My client is into Pipe coating business who receives the pipe from the customers, coats it as per there requirements and despatches it thereon. There is no concept of FG here as its only the service he is doing on it and also when he receives the pipe there is no raw material cost on it. Raw materials for him would be chemicals etc which he uses to coat the pipe.
And also this demands variant configuration from SD and PP angel.
As this scenario is customer specific, it demands Sale Order based costing(Sale order cost estimate).
My doubt is, how the sale order costing process goes with.
In general scenarios, Make to stock, we use production order based costing where standard cost estimate is calculated for planned cost and actuals are incurred on PO settling the variance to COPA
Similarly how the costing goes with if Sale order cost estimate is used. What i think is, here instead of Standard cost estimate for plan, we will go with Sale order cost estimate at sale order level, and incur actual cost at production order and settle the cost of Production order to Sale order. Correct me if i am wrong, and request you ppl there to explain me the process of costing in the scenario said above.
apart from that, my client wants the flexibility to change the cost estimate at quotation level.
Please suggest me with solution explaining the process of costing here.
Thanks in advance,
Ravi Kumar

Hi Ravi
Your understanding of the scenario is very much right...
In your case, you need to have sales order as cost object...
Process
Your stock would be non valuated stock, because the FG is not your stock.. You are just doing a service
Based on the characteristics chosen in the Sales orders, system would determine the Sales order BOM
Based on sales order BOM, Sales order cost estimate would be calculated....
You would receive the Customer pipe in your stock against the sales order... It would be a non valuated GR... You can track the Qty only
Sales order would trigger a production order... The prod order can have its planned cost, which is only for information sake
The Customer Pipe, Chemicals would be issued to prod order to coat the pipe... And also Labor/machine hrs may be confirmed
There after your production order would be settled on Sales order
Then you would do PGI (Post Goods Isue).. This will not trigger any accounting doc
Then you do billing... The sales revenue would be posted on the sales order
Then you settle the sales order to COPA.. This will close the cycle
Configuration
The IMG Settings required would be as below
1. You would use account assignment category (AAC) E
2. Create a Requirement class with
a. AAC = E.... (Means sales order is CO Object)
b. Valuation Indicator = BLANK (Means Non Valuated Stock)
c. Costing ID/Costing Method = As per your choice to calculate the Sales order cost estimate
3. Assign this req class to Requirement Type
4. Give this req type to your PP/SD team.. They would assign it to Strategy group / Item Category to determine it in the sales order

While creating the Transfer Order system is not picking Sale order stock?

Hi All,
In the B2B process the system is not picking the stock from from sale order stock while creating the transfer order? Please suggest.
Summary : Here we are creating the PR in the sale order and STO is created using the same PR to procure the materials from the WM plant to sale order plant. Since here intialy we are moving the stock to our sale order in WM plant and then picking the same. But while creating the Transfer order system is not picking the sale order stock in WM plant.

Difference between Valuated and Non valuated Sale order stock

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me the difference between the above said subject with the steps involved in each scenario.
That is valuated sale order stock and Non valuated sale order stock in Product cost by Sale Order.
With Journal entries at each step and whether any WIP or variances at Production order level and sale order level and all the financial entries related to them
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi Kumar

Hi Shail,
Thans for your inputs,
But I wanted to know it in more detail. In what scenarios they are used with financial entries in both the cases.
I will give you my scenario. It goes like this,
My client is in pipe coating business, who receives pipes from customers and does only coating work(which is considered as service) and despatches it to the customer. this process is carried on the basis of work order(Sale order).
Now Production order is created and work is done on that with reference to Sale order for that particular customer.
So the pipe which my client receives should be non valuated stock as it will not be a raw material to them and the cost incurred on it is booked on production order like chemicals as raw material consumption, activity cost etc.
now in this scenario just tell me how and at which stage FI entries get generated at Production order and Sale order level, and also at wat level Standard cost estimate should be created i,e at production order level or sale order level(sale order cost estimate).
Will there be any entries at goods isssue and GR against production order. If no then how the COGM account will get hit.
Please tell me this scenario in both cases Valuated sale order stock and Non valuated sale order stock with financial entries in Sale order costing.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Kumar

Valuated Sales order stock - Goods Receipt

Greetings,
I am trying to better understand the concept of 'Valuated Sales order stock" and I read in the SAP documentation that:
"When you are using a valuated sales order stock, externally procured individual requirements materials are assigned to the sales order stock at the net order price at the time of the goods receipt"
But I find that in our SAP system, this is not the case. Externally procured materials are valued at whatever price they are costed in the sales order they are used.
I can have a PO whose net price is 5000 Euros for Material X but if that same Material X is costed at 8000 Euros in the Sales order to which is it used, the GR for Material X will be at 8000 Euros.
(the PO for Material X is assigned against the sales order).
Perhaps I am misunderstanding what is meant by "externally procured individual requirements materials"?
In the example above, material X is not the Finished Goods sold to customer through the Sales order. It is a component that is involved in the production of the FG.
It seems to me more logical that Material X value be based on the cost estimate computed in the sales order rather than on the PO Net price...
Thanks in advance for your valuable feedbacks!
Best regards,
Sylvain

Hello Nikolas,
Thanks for your answer.
Yes, we value our inventory at Std.
(Is this why the GR is valued at Sales order cost estimate and not Net Price?. SAP does not mention this in its documentation)
I understand your point but my argument is based on the fact that if a purchased material (Material X in my example) is received into stock at the Net Price value, then, there will be a mismatch between
- the Cost Estimate of Material X in the Sales order (Material X will be valued at its Std there, based on our Costing variant)
and
- the value at which this Material X will be consumed in the Production process (since it will be at Net Price).
This would cause a Production variance to be recognized since the actual costs to produce the Finished good would be different from the Cost estimate of the Finished Good in the Sales order (and the cost estimate in the sales order determine the COGS of the Finished Goods in accounting).
The difference of 20 you mention is treated as a Purchase Price variance in our case. That PPV is assigned against the Sales order.
Best regards,
Sylvain

Sales Order Stock, using Sales Orders

Morning!
We are receiving Sales Order Stock (stock segment E), thus creating special stock with a number that consists of the Sales Order Number + the Item number of the order. This is to support our Repairs process in CRM. (So we are NOT using NB Purchase orders)
Example:
Order: 3100501
Item: 0010
S.Order stock 10 pieces E-stock 31005010010
When trying to Post Goods Issue, we do this based on the same Order, but having added one item to the order, item 0020.
The system -understandably- does no let us find the stock, since it is looking for E-stock 31005010020, which we don't have....
Anyone?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi;
When a Sales order is created a corresponding PO is created for building the stocks when we do a GR for this PO stocks are created for the Sales order.This is the sales order stock.
Now when a change is made to the SO we need to either create a corresponding PO for this new item of make a similar change to the existing PO.
To solve the issue...
Go to the PO add the line item and choose the new item and press the "Account Assignment" button and give the SO# and the line item #.
This should solve the issue.

Sales order stock on delivery document and transfer order

Hi all,
At my current client I have a requirement where we need to put stock against sales order (sales order stock E). So, being a MTO process we create production order and perform goods reciept to unrestricted stock. To avoid getting picked up by a different sales order, we move the stock to sales order stock using 412 E (tcode: MB1B). Here are the issues I am facing currently:
1. Is there a direct way of receiving production order directly to sales order stock?
2. I couldn't find a way to do the first, so I am currently receiving production order against unrestricted inventory and then move it using MB1B. So, the stock can be seen to assigned to sales order.
2a. When I create delivery it is not consuming same stock, it is consuming inventory out of unrestricted stock (if any, in case no inventory is available it throws error of 0 available quantity). Once I have assigned sales order stock why is it still looking into unrestricted? Is it due to the requirement type which is assigned. Do I need to change the item category so availability will check sales order stock (similar to item category TAB)?
2b. This probably will be resolved if I get the delivery fixed but we have SAP WM and during TO creation I don't see the special stock reference filled in? I tested this process with item category ZTAB (copy of TAB) which creates purchase requisition and it seems to be working but I don't need the purchase req for my case.
3. This is more of an accounting issue: when I attempt to move stock from unrestricted to sales order stock using 412 E, I was getting "Account XXXXX is not assigned to cost center". So, I went in an assigned a cost center to this cost element. IS THIS REQUIRED & WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE as it takes stock out of inventory.
I understand it crosses other functional areas but even if you can clarify 1 part of it, will be very helpful.
Thanks.

Dear Friend
You are telling that it is MTO scenario and you are posting stocks into unrestricted stocks
This is entirely wrong
This is happening because of a simple thing missing in your sales order item category configuration in VOV7 that is special stock indicator E is missing which should be there
This is the cause of whole problem
MTO item categories will have special stock indicator E in standards
In MTO based on the sales order production order is triggered and stocks are receipted against sales order and not into unrestricted use by defaut in standard
You will receive MTO stocks as sales order stocks in your plant only in standard
But it is not happening for you because of stock indicator E in VOV7 of your sales order item category is missing
Posting MTO stock in to unrestricted use is meaningless and the same is happening because of a slight miss out in setting in VOV7
This is the solution for issue no 1
For issue no 2
You have created the sales order( MTO order) without special stock indicator E and now you are doing a transfer posting in MB1B with 412 E referencing the order no sales order stocks that is Fine
You are getting an error that only zero qty is available either at delivery or at pgi eventhough in MMBE you will find sales order stocks in your order name
This is happening because
Reservation in MB1B is done with special stock indicator E for sales order
But the same sales order is not created with special stock indicator E in VA01 during creation
There is a mismatch
Hence the system is not able to sense while the order comes for delivery there are already stocks are reserved
By inputting special stock indicator E for sales order item category the whole issues will get solved
By doing that there is no need to do MB1B itself
The first step itself will get corrected as the stocks will be posted to sales order stocks no need for MB1B
No need to touch TAB make it ZTAB as it is meant for a different purpose it is for individual purchase order not to be used for MTO
*By marking the special stock indicator as E in your sales order item category your entire issue will be resolved*
Issue no 3
MTO is based on costing for which you have take the help of FI person
Note Very important
If U make the settings now in item category it will not work for the existing or already created order
With existing orders it will have the same error as the order is created without special stock indicator E
Only for new orders it will work and from Now on it will work
Test it with new order cycle starting from VA01
Please let me know this issue has got solved or not?
I am 200 % sure it will get solved
Regards

Stock trsp of normal stock to sales order stock

Dear colleagues,
I have been working with stock transport of sales order stock before and it worked - I have no issues with it. But this time my client needs to transport normal stock in one plant to sales order stock in another plant. FYI, this is a cross-company STO, i.e. item category "standard" in the PO.
I thought it was the requirements class in the "Transfer of requirements" function that controled which stock my STO was going to consume, but I am unsure now. I checked the requirement class that SAP assigned to my STO delivery of sales order stock (the one that works - SO stock to SO stock) and it is 041, i.e. the very standard reqmt class that has nothing to do with sales order stock! So how does SAP determines it is the sales order stock that I want to transport?
The IMG notes for the setting "Determination Of Requirement Types Using Transaction" imply that there can be special rules implied for special stocks:
Example
There are business transactions, such as consignment stock processing, in which the material with its planning characteristics is not important, rather the transaction itself. An issue from the customer's consignment stock should not trigger an availability check against planning at the plant as layed down by the planning strategy but rather against special stock.
How does it work for special stock then?
TIA for any hints!
Raf
Edited by: Rafael Zaragatzky on Feb 23, 2011 8:31 AM

Thank you, Joshua.
Yes, it works with M - SO stock is moved from plant to plant. But we need to move normal stock in the source plant to SO stock in the destination plant. Therefore I wonder what is it that tells SAP to do GI from sales order stock. Is it just that the AA category defines the sp. stock indicator both for the issuing plant and the receiving plant? In such case, we are stuck.
But the comment in the IMG documentation that I cited first implies that there might be other thing that controls the special stock on the delivering plant side.

How to do Goods Issue from Sales Order Stock?

Dear All,
we are doing a trading Scenario & based on customer requirement we procure the goods from our vendor & we receive it to Sales Order(special) Stock. Now what are the settings to be done in the Sales/Shipping so that when we do a delivery for our customer the Stock is Issued from our Un-res Sales Order Stock & not from un-res stock ?
Hope its clear.
Regards,

Hi Sam,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
Sorry for not explaining the scenario in the begining.
See I have to configure a trading Scenario with some changes from the std.
As in trading Process there are 3 entities.
1. Customer - X
2. Company - Y (Who performs trading)
3. Vendor - Z
Following is the breif requirment.
Company Y generated an inquiry in system for an item with respect to customers RFQ. Now since Y doesnt manufacture the product(item) it creates a PR in background with respect to inquiry.
Based on this PR, Y procures & receives the good into Un-restricted Sales Order Stock (with ref Inquiry doc no:).
Now based on price Quoted by Z, Y will create a Quotation with ref to inquiry & finally a SO for Customer - X with ref to the Quotation.
Now at the time of delivery (creatd with ref SO) system is not able to issue the goods from the sales order stock since the stock is stored with ref to inquiry no: & delivery is with ref to SO.
So I am planning to simulate a cycle by creating a delivery & PGI with ref to Inquiry.
If you can suggest a way out, it will be highly appreciable.
Hope its clear.
Regards,

Issue regarding transfer of sales order stock to another location

Scenario:
Sales order stock to be transported to the port(secong plant) from manufacturing unit (plant 1) and to be delivered to the customer from port (second plant ). whereas the sales order is raised at manufacturing unit (plant 1).
Steps followed:
Step 1 : Customer gives the sales order at Plant (1)
Step 2 : STO is done from Plant (2)
Step 3 : VL10B with reference to STO is done
Step 4 : VL02N is done with reference to outbound delivery
Step 5 : GRN at Plant (2) with reference to outboubd delivery
Step 6 : Delivery to the customer
In this scenario, the sales order stock is not picked whereas the unrestricted stock is being picked. we are doing MIGO to send the sales order stock to unrestricted stock and then picking this stock.
whereas the client wants sales order stock to be picked directly without using movement type 411 E, as this is a daily process.
can you suggest any solution / movement type that picks the sales order stock directly and also gives the delivery document ( as we tried doing with movement type 301, we are not getting any delivery documents).
Thanks in advance
Prasad

Cost of Inventory for Special Stock- (Sales Order Stock)

Dear All,
We manufactures "x" materail under Make to Stock and Make to Order Scenarios. We carried the standard cost estimate through CK11N and released through CK24N. There is a value of "X". Also we carried the sales order cost estimate that is value "Y". But we have observed the inventory value updated during confirmation of the production is at "Z" value. We have identified this Z value is the value of special stock previous periods.
I would like to know the procedure of valuation of inventory under scenarios
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi,
thanks for your info.
Can i say the changes will be done for those special stock.?
Actually my problem is related to a Return Sales order process where we need to change the MAP before DO and GI, otherwise the Material document would not capture the correct MAP during GI.
and the solution from the senior is select the variance "special stock -Sales order" and enter the sales doc# in MR21.
The problem that we are not yet having any special stock for this return Sales order, but this MR21 works for us and after that, the material document is able to capture the correct MAP.
Any idea what or where the MR21 is updating for the "Special Stock-Sales order" if we don't have any Sales order stock for the paticular sales document?

Reserving the sales order stock for a customer

Hello SAP gurus !!
My client is wants to Reserve the stocks once the order is placed or confirmed by the Customers.
For Example; --
If 10 c/s are available in the plant and a customer has ordered 10 c/s... next time .. if someone is creating order for the same Material, system should not confirme sales Order as this particular stock has already booked by the customer.
Can we MAP this scanario in creating DUMMY sales order??
I have also tried to move the sales order stock to Reserved Stock by creating Reservations (Tcode MB21) using movement type 412 E.
but i m not sure whether i m on the right way or wrong??
Please help me on this particular issue. Points will be rewarded for Helpful answers.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
MAYANK

Hi Ravi
Actually we have started this particular issue with Product Allocation only.... but the problem with product allocation is : you can not reserve/block the stocks even if it has been allocated to other customers.
If some other user is creating the sales Order for some other customer, system will confirm and you can do the delivery also.
Basically Client want to first allocate( here allocation could be through creation of Dummy Sales Order also) then also want to BLOCK /RESERVE for those customers... so that nobody should be allowed to use those Stocks.
We have Already tried with:--
1. Product Allocation
2. OVZ9 ( checking Group 02/ Sales Order Combination)
3. MB21 ( creating Reservation with Movement Type 412 E)
4. Consignment Process
& some other Options but exact requirement has not been met.
Now we are trying to solve this Issue using some scenarios Other than Prod Alloc.
I hope i have clearly explained the requirement still you have any doubts, please revert back.
Thanks in advance
Warm Regards,
MAYANK
