Scheduling third party sales orders in APO

Dear Experts,
Scenario:
Sales order with item category TAS (third party SAP standard) triggers a purchase requisition. The Preq calls ECC ATP check and gets scheduled simply based on planned delivery time. The delivering plant is virtual and doesnu2019t hold inventory. An inbound delivery is the only receipt against which sales order can be confirmed if at all I care to do an ATP check.
This is a standard SAP third party scenario with ATP check. The material is shipped directly to the customer from vendor and invoice by the company.
Requirement
This purchase requisition should be scheduled in APO.. Condition technique-trans. and shipment scheduling
The scheduled delivery date then should be updated to sales order schedule line.
My purpose is to schedule a delivery date based on lead times that are more conditional than the one from info record that just has a planned delivery time which is currently irrespective of customer.
Other info
Customing for checking rules is CIFd. Material is in APO with checking group maintained. All basic config exists.
The Purch req is calling ATP check ONLY in ECC that shows a delivery date offset from requested delivery date.
Why scheduling in APO and why not ECC:
I want to make use of possibly trans lanes duration in the future. by maintained t/lanes from vendors to all ship to parties.
Related question
Is TAS item category hardcoded not to call APO !
Regards,
Loknath

Meanwhile I read these consulting notes on third party item scheduling
210455- Confirmation of TAS items and
549364- FAQ's on scheduling of third party PO's
where SAP's design intent of PO/Preq scheduling is explained..that primarily comes from this hypothesis:
IF WE CANT CONTROL EXTERNAL VENDORS, WHY BOTHER SCHEDULING VENDOR's DATES.
Sounds like an archaic reasoning!! given we cannot practically confirm a reasonably good delivery date with albeit approximate assuming vendor has 100% materail on release date. The inforecord's planned delivery time as I mentioned is only so much...not destination specific (the vendor can potentially supply to customers across the globe with transit times varying from x to 10x)
The logic used for confirmation of third party orders based on PO scheduling is this
Backward
Release date =Requested delivery date - purchasing department processing time - planned delivery time or
Forward
Realistic delivery date =Current date + purchasing department processing time + planned delivery time
To help visualize I tried a scenario with sale order requested delivery date 3months out. The PO scheduling screen is NOT called. The order stands confirmed on requesed delivery date with the simple logic applied being
Requested delivery date = material availability date
My requirement still remains valid though.
I want to schedule TAS items in APO..using APO master data or condition technique.
I need to get a MAD date updated to the sales order schedule line for gettting a delivery date that is more conditional than info-record's planned delivery time. Not sure if this sounds technically consistent but requirement is reasonble !

Hi,
Process
VA01 - Create sales order (Schedule line CS and item category TAS) >> ME52N - PR is generated after save of sales order >> ME21N - Convert PR in to P.O >> Then vendor will send goods to customer and will send invoice to our company >> MIRO - Invoice receipt from vendor >> VF01 - Final invoice to customer
When you enter vendor invoice then you come to know that vendor sent qty. same will be billed to customer(Billing relevance in item category should be F)

Generate PO from third party sale order

Hi expert,
When we save a Third Party sale order, it will generate a purchase requisition to buy items for us. I wonder if there are any methods to generate Purchase Order directly (Not via PR) from sales order ?
Thanks so much.
Edited by: Truong Tran on Feb 26, 2009 12:30 PM

Hi,
As you know - only PR will be automatically getting genreated in case of third party sale order or individual purchase order.
This is because of the schedule line category - CB and CS.
When the item category is TAB/TAS - it will determine the schdule line categor CB/CS which leads to generate PR automatically.
There is an item category 'ALES' (Create PO Automatic - check box in VOV7 - will be checked) - which will create both PR and PO.
I have not used that item category yet.. I think - though we use ALES item category - it won't create automatic PO.
Except ALES item category.. - I do not have idea on ALES item category..
(i.e., PO will never be automatically created without using the transaction.)
Thanks,
Venkatesh.S.P

UNBW Material in a third-party Sales Order (error: account determination)

Hy @ll,
we receive the following error message when entering a non valuated material (MTART UNBW) in a third-party sales order item.
System is asking for the calculated budget and after the manual entry of the budget the following error message appears.
(the schedule line customizing populates the account assignment category X for the PR)
"Not possible to determine a consumption account".
any ideas? my assumption is that account determination OBYC can not be error source, because it´s a non-valuated material...
many thanks,.
Gregor

Please read OSS Note 95429 - MB01 for material type UNBW, third-party order
and

Third party sales order report

Hi
I got to prepare a report and the description is as follows:
"Report for discount pricing conditions manually entered in third party sales orders."
"Discount price reporting for manual pricing conditions in sales order processing (not in billing)"
"The report should reflect manual pricing discounts captured in the third party sales order.The relevant (third party) document types will be confirmed.Currently we have the following pricing condition type used for manual discount: YRD2- Manual Distr. Discount % YRD3- Manual Distr. Discount fixedThis report will facilitate the monitoring on the discounts given to the distributors.We still need to confirm the complete list of discount pricing conditions for the report.The report should extract the manual discount information based on the following criteria:Sales organization, period, sales order, customer (wholesaler and/or third party) and pricing condition type.Summing per sales order, customer, period should be enabled.The discounts should be displayed in document (sales order) currency. "
I didnt understand the following to get the purpose of this report:
1. what is this third party sales order ?
2. What is manual pricing condition?
3. what is manual pricing condition? how many types of conditions are there like this?
4. What is the actual analysis that can be made from the output of this report?
Please explain them in detail. Thank you.

THIRD PARTY SCENARIO
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. A sales order may consist partly or wholly of third-party items. Occasionally, you may need to let a vendor deliver items you would normally deliver yourself.
Process Flow
The processing of third-party orders is controlled via material types. Material types define whether a material is produced only internally, can be ordered only from third-party vendors, or whether both are possible. For example, a material that is defined as a trading good can only be ordered from a third-party vendor. However, if you manufacture your own finished products, you may also want, from time to time, to be able to order the same type of product from other vendors.
Processing Third-Party Orders in Sales
Third-party items can be created automatically by the system, depending on how your system is set. However, you can also change a standard item to a third-party item during sales processing manually.
Automatic third-party order processing
If a material is always delivered from one or more third-party vendors, you can specify in the material master that the material is a third-party item. During subsequent sales order processing, the system automatically determines the appropriate item category for a third-party item: TAS. To specify a material as a third-party item, enter BANS in the Item category group field in the Sales 2 screen of the material master record.
Manual third-party order processing
In the case of a material that you normally deliver yourself but occasionally need to order from a third-party vendor, you can overwrite the item category during sales order processing. For a material that you normally deliver yourself, you specify the item category group NORM in the material master.
If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the sales document. The item is then processed as third-party item.
If address data for the ship-to party is changed in the sales order in third-party business transactions, the changed data will automatically be passed on to purchase requisition and also to the purchase order ,if one already exists. In the purchase order, you can display the address data for the ship-to party in the attributes for the item.
You can only change the address data for the ship-to party in the sales order for third-party business transactions, and not in the purchase order.
Processing Third-Party Orders in Purchasing
When you save a sales order that contains one or more third-party items, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition in Purchasing. Each third-party item in a sales order automatically generates a corresponding purchase requisition item. During creation of the requisition, the system automatically determines a vendor for each requisition item. If a sales order item has more than one schedule line, the system creates a purchase requisition item for each schedule line.
Purchase orders are created from purchase requisitions in the usual way. For more information about creating purchase orders, see the Purchasing documentation. During creation of the purchase order, the system automatically copies the delivery address of your customer from the corresponding sales order. In a sales order, you can enter purchase order texts for each third-party item. When you create the corresponding purchase order, the texts are automatically copied into the purchase order. The number of the purchase order appears in the document flow information of the sales order.
All changes made in the purchase order are automatically made in the sales order as well. For example, if the vendor confirms quantities and delivery dates different from those you request and enters them in the purchase order, the revised data is automatically copied into the sales order
You process third-party items by creating a normal sales order. In overview for the order, you can then overwrite the default item category (TAN in the standard system) with the special item category for third-party items: TAS
Billing Third-Party Orders
If relevance for billing indicator for the item category has been set to B (relevant for order-related billing on the basis of the order quantity) in Customizing, the system includes the order in the billing due list immediately. If, however, the indicator has been set to F (relevant to order-related billing on the basis of the invoice quantity), the system does not include the order in the billing due list until an invoice from the vendor has been received and processed by the purchasing department. In the standard system, item category TAS (third-party order processing) has been given billing-relevance indicator F.
In the first case, the third-party order is considered to be completely billed only when the invoiced quantity equals the order quantity of the sales order item. In the second case, each time a vendor invoice is received, a customer invoice is created for the quantity in the vendor invoice and the order is considered to be fully invoiced until the next vendor invoice is received.
If you have activated billing-relevance indicator F for item categories in Customizing, billing can refer to the goods receipt quantity instead of the incoming invoice quantity.
You can control whether the invoice receipt quantity or the quantity of goods received is relevant for billing in Customizing for copying control for billing at item level.
FOR YOUR PROCESS Individual Purchase Orders WELL GIVE THE RIGHT SOLUTION
Individual purchase orders are used when your customer orders goods from you that are not in stock and must be ordered from one or more external vendors.
Process Flow
During sales order entry, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition item. The purchasing department creates a purchase order based on the requisition and the vendor ships the goods directly to you (unlike third party order processing, where the vendor ships directly to your customer). You then ship the goods to your customer. While the goods are part of your inventory, you manage them as part of the sales order stock. Sales order stock consists of stock that is assigned to specific sales orders and cannot be used for other purposes.
Goods receipt will be posted when ever the vendor ships the goods to our customer.
We will do this transaction in SAP using MIGO.
Invoice receipt is done when the Vendor sends us the invoice.. ( I.e Billing ).
It can be done using MIRO.
THe above two steps are standard and manual. There are many other ways that the actual process can happen. If the client follows EDI standards then the Goods receipt and Invoice receipt can be done through IDOCs automatically.

6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO

Third Party Sales Order in COPA - adjusted cost

We have a third party sales order which creates the Preq and then the pruchase order. We have statistical conditions on the purchase order. We have switched the billing relavency on the item category TAS to a B to allow billing before the invoice recipt from the oversees vendor. Billing block is on the order until inbound delivery is updated.
A purchase order is created with statistical conditions for an accrual amount (palletization charge). When the goods receipt is performed against an inbound delivery and the billing block is removed, a customer invoice is created and the correct value, cost plus the accrual amount, posts into the customer billing document vprs condition and posts accordingly to co-pa.
The issue is that when the invoice receipt is performed against the purchase order, the normal FI document is created against the vendor and gr/ir account. However, at this time an adjustment to the vprs is posted against the original billing document vprs condition for the statistical condition on the purchase order. This adjustment to the vprs condition then creates a copa document which reduces the cost of goods sold value field.
Any ideas on how to prevent this adjustment to the co-pa cogs value?

Incorrect delivery date for third party sales order

Hi,
When I create a Third party sales order, the delivery date refers as todayu2019s dates, but when I save the order the same is getting copied in to Purchase requisition and subsequently to Purchase Order and is not recalculating based on the Planned Delivery time maintained in the Purchase Info Record.
Is there any configuration setting to enable re determine the delivery date in PR?
Regards
Raj

Hey babu,
I understand ur problem. First check that you have maintained all the time durations that would be taken into consideration when the sales order will do the scheduling. E.g.
!) GR processing time
2) Planned delivery time
3) Purchase dept processing time ... etc
Now you need to check if scheduling is taking place on the sales order. That means, does it show you the date that can be confirmed for delivering that 3rd party item when you press enter after entering its material number and the order quantity.
1) If yes you need to check the box that says "Fix time/quantity" on the availability check screen that pops up when you place the order.
Now the system will pass this new scheduled date to the production order, but it will show the requested date as the one determined from the lead time in the order type. so no need to worry.
also if it is not showing you the availability check screen and automatically using a date scheduled in the future based on the values you set in PIR, in that case yo need to go to the item details > schedule lines > and check the box that says "Fix time/quantity" for that 3rd party materials and the confirmed date will be passed to the PO automatically.
2) If no then you have to make sure that availability check is turned on for that material and then try placing the order.

Vinit Parkar

Third party sales Order processing

Hi gurus,
During Third party sales order processing, Purchase requision has been generated with account assignemnt category 'X',
While converting the Purchase requisition to Purchase order the system is not allowing me to save the purchase order,
As soon as i hit the save button the Pricing conditions are being deleted in purchase order ?
When i hit the save button again System is throwing me out giving a message
System error (error in method PO_CHECK)
Message no. ME816
This is happening only when a purchase order is being created for third party sales order processing.
Has any one faced this issue before, if yes please advise gurus,
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Gopio.

Hi
The account assignment category X has been maintained in
schedule line category CS and it is recommended by SAP
Yes perfectly right
SAP recommends only X as account assignment category for CS
If the PR is created successfully then there is no problem with related to SD configurations
The error message is more of an MM error
You need to check with an MM expert why that happens while creating PO from PR
I feel since this happns while saving the transaction there might be some userexit used which may be root cause
System error (error in method PO_CHECK)
Message no. ME816
As per my knowledge this is not a standard error
Because of activation of some userexit this is triggered
Functionally this is a MM area error
From SD side everything is correct

Purchase Requestion for Third Party Sales Order

Hello Team
I want the system to create Purchase Requisition automatically and some times Manually (Possible if both Option are available) for the Sales Order which belongs to Third Party.
How to achieve this?
Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick
Following are the steps of third party:
1) Creation of third party sales order
2) Generation of automatic purchase reqisition through the configuration of schedule line CS in SD.(schedule line is determined by the item categoty and the mrp type.
please dont maintain mrp type in the material master.so that it will determin CS directly.
in the tcode VOV6,please check whether the document type NB is maintained for CS.
This will created auto PR).
3) You can check the PR Number in the schedule line tab of sales order.PR requirement will not be available in the MD04.
4) Manually create a PO for vendor with item category S.
5) There will be no GR in this case.
6) Create an invoice verification document.
7) Create an invoice from the SD side w.r.t Sales order.
Hope this might have answered ur question

Third Party Sales Order issue ! please solve my problem

Dear all,
when I am creating third party sales order,system is going to 'Standard Order:Purchase Order Schedule' screen.So,it confirm the quantity after 1 day instead of my particular given date.can anybody tell me why it is showing this screen ? how can I overcome this problem ? Please give me suggestion .
with regards,
Rana

There are two lead times involved -
1. Purchase Lead time - time reqd. by internal purchasing dept. for processing
2. Vendor Lead Time - time reqd. by vendor to deliver.
For vendor lead time check in ME11 (vendor material info record). In the Purchasing Org Data 1 tab - check planned delivery time.
Also in Material Master - in Purchasing tab - check GR processing field. Also pls. check other fields in purchasing and MRP tabs.
Also Check - SPRO > MATERIALS MANAGEMENT > PURCHASING > PURCHASE REQUISITION > PROCESSING TIME
Thanks

I am getting error :

Hi,
system will not allow you to create purchase order.
Goto VA02, Item schedule lines change the order quantity to 8 from 20.
enter another delivery date and qty 12 in second row press enter, system automatically creates another line item for same purchase requisition, you can see it in same screen.
E.g 10000110 10 8 qty
10000110 20 12 qty
Now goto create purchase order with same PR number and line item number 20.

For a material that you normally deliver yourself, you specify the item category group NORM in the material master.
If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the sales document. The item is then processed as third-party item.
If address data for the ship-to party is changed in the sales order in third-party business transactions, the changed data will automatically be passed on to purchase requisition and also to the purchase order ,if one already exists. In the purchase order, you can display the address data for the ship-to party in the attributes for the item.
You can only change the address data for the ship-to party in the sales order for third-party business transactions, and not in the purchase order.
Processing Third-Party Orders in Purchasing
when you save a sales order that contains one or more third-party items, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition in Purchasing. Each third-party item in a sales order automatically generates a corresponding purchase requisition item.

If, however, the indicator has been set to F (relevant to order-related billing on the basis of the invoice quantity), the system does not include the order in the billing due list until an invoice from the vendor has been received and processed by the purchasing department. In the standard system, item category TAS (third-party order processing) has been given billing-relevance indicator F.
In the first case, the third-party order is considered to be completely billed only when the invoiced quantity equals the order quantity of the sales order item. In the second case, each time a vendor invoice is received, a customer invoice is created for the quantity in the vendor invoice and the order is considered to be fully invoiced until the next vendor invoice is received.
If you have activated billing-relevance indicator F for item categories in Customizing, billing can refer to the goods receipt quantity instead of the incoming invoice quantity.
You can control whether the invoice receipt quantity or the quantity of goods received is relevant for billing in Customizing for copying control for billing at item level.
FOR YOUR PROCESS Individual Purchase Orders WELL GIVE THE RIGHT SOLUTION
Individual purchase orders are used when your customer orders goods from you that are not in stock and must be ordered from one or more external vendors.
Process Flow
During sales order entry, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition item. The purchasing department creates a purchase order based on the requisition and the vendor ships the goods directly to you (unlike third party order processing, where the vendor ships directly to your customer).
