Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1) After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always following a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procurement type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurement ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to configure the item category determination
Order type + item cat Group + Usage + High level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevant for billing indicator as F
step 4)
The schedule line category for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requisition order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requisition
Hope this will help you alot and Please Reward If Really Helpful,
Cheers,
Govind.

  • 3rd Party Sales Configuration

    Hi Gurus,
    Please help me with the Standard 3rd Party sales Scenario configuration in SAP
    Conceptually I a mclear with the process, but how do we map it in SAP.
    I tried doing it by manually changing the item category to TAS, and then doing billing, but the log says item category not relevant for billing.
    Should I create a new sales order document type with default Item Category as TAS??
    Is it possible to have  a TAS in std order type 'OR' with other item categories as TAN ?
    Shall appreciate quick help.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks
    Raheel

    Understand the Business process to the core then apply that to SAP.
    Thrird party business would be
    1. You have to give a commodity / product to a customer , which you do not manufacture , so you ask one of your vendors to deliver the same to the customer on your behalf and finally you bill the customer and give the mone to vendor.
    Configuration again in the forom if you will search will get through
    material ->item category group: bans
    so item category will be tas in sales order.
    Step1: create the sales order which will automatically generate the PR
    Step 2: Take the PR and create the PO
    Step 3: Go a PO based LIV.
    Step4: Bill the sales order.
    There is no GRN and outbound delivery.
    Thanks !

    Hi All,
    I've a query regd the 3rd party sales order processing.

  • One line item delivery for 3rd party sales order

    Hello Experts,
    We have configured a 3rd party sales order process where the PR gets created. We are using scheduling agreement(PO) and creating Schedule line and doing a GR for partial line items.  The stock is recieved as a Sales Order stock.
    But when i create a Sales Delivery the delivery document copies all the line items (ieven for the ones which we don't have GR)  from the sales order and we have to manually delete the line items from delivery doc.
    Is there a way i can restrict the delivery document to only copy the line items from the sales order  for which the sales order stock is available? If so how can we do that?
    Appreicate your help.
    Thanks

    Third Party order processing in Sales
    Third party order in Sales (in case of external procurement)
    In this business scenario Company A accept the sales order of customer and asked third company/Vendor to deliver the goods and bills you. Subsequently you raise the invoice to the customer.
    In this scenario Material type plays important role.  While creating material in material master , material type to be selected as  Trading goods and Item category group is BANS in sales :Sales org 2 tab and Procurement type to marked as F in MRP 2 Tab.
    Item category - TAS - Maintain Billing relevance in VOV7 as F.
    Schedule line category- CS-This is standard schedule line category is provided by SAP for Third party Sales.If you need to change, copy it and make necessary changes.
    CS triggers purchase requisition automatically in the back ground when save the sales order.
    Assignment - CS to TAS in VOV5 and TAS to your order type in VOV4.
    Company A creates Sales order and Saves it. As soon as it is saved Purchase requisition is created in the back ground (Due to schedule line category)and authorized person converts it to purchase order and ask vendor to supply the goods to the customer. The vendor sends the bill to the company A. Company verifies the Invoice and raise invoice to the Customer.
    The sequence of T-codes is VA01- ME21N- MIRO-VF01
    It is assumed that MM and SD module are in place.

  • How to do a 3rd party sales process

    How to do 3rd party sales process.....
       plz reply me with the full configuration.....

    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.
    Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales
    Customize the third party sales in summary:
    Prerequisites for 3rd party sales,
    Purchasing org,
    purchasing group,
    assign the Purchase org to company code
    assign Purchase org to plant,
    should not maintain the stock in material, it should be trading goods,
    1. Create Vendor XK01
    2. Create Material – Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
    3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
    4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
    5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
    6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
    7. Goods receipt MIGO
    8. Goods issue
    9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and, therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.

  • Changes Allowed on the 3rd Party Sales Order when PO is created

    Hello,
    We have a requirement to change the Sales Order even if the PO is already created for teh 3rd party order. I am not sure which fields and what changes can we do if the PO is already created for the 3rd Party sales order.
    Can you please guide me in pointing to the configuration or any user exit that we can control the field changes on the 3rd party sales order when teh PO is already created.
    Thank you!
    Chandrakant

    Venu,
    FIRST ANSWER THE BELOW TWO QUESTIONS.
    1. Did you understand what Shiva has mentioned?
    He has clearly mentioned that  you can change the PO qty and in standard it self the same PO changed  qty will be reflected in Sales order schduline lines qty, and he also mentioned that if this is not happening then advised to refer the Note 1361281.
    2. Did you read the note?
    It says that It will occur if the sales order line item is part of the delivery group or if you have set the complete delivery indicator for the sales order. And it also advised to apply the program code to over come the issue.
    Please note: before commenting others just check once in system then talk, don't just blindly through the ball, it will not have good results.
    Before also mentioned the same, but you still repeating the same.
    Sorry Moderators that i have mentioned some lines in the Note here.
    thanks,
    Srinu.

  • 3rd party sales order (GL posting)

    I have posted this thread in Sales forum but did not receive answer. need help urgently.
    i have configured 3rd party sales order where when user enter item category as TAB, PR will automatically be created and GR goes into sales order stock in MMBE.
    however, user wants the COGS during GI for this 3rd party sales goes to a separate GL account.
    where can i maintain the GL account?
    i have tried using obyc and simulate it in omwb however, it affects even the normal sales order since it follows the standard key combination. i'd like to know where to maintain the GL account when the stock is issued from the sales order stock in mmbe.
    when i simulate through omwb, and enter the movement type 601, there seems to be 1 option for sales order (GD delivery sls.ord.) however not sure where to maintain the GL for this option.
    many thanks.

    Hi,
    As per MM scenario While creating the Purchase Requisition manual or automatic system need to select Account assignment " 1 " Third-party" after Purchase order will generate based on PO receiving the good but in this scenario the material will dispatch in customer direct so inventory will not update
    please cross check the config setting in this area SPRO->Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Account Assignment/Costing -> Revenue Account Determination

  • 3rd Party Sales Scenario

    I have yet another scenario to know about.......
    Suppose there are some bought out items which are being delivered free of cost to the customer with the stock items, then do we need to configure the 3rd party sales scenario?
    These materials are bought in bulk and kept in stock and not on order to order basis.
    Await advice.

    There is no need to use Third Party Sales since the procurement is not based on sale order. You have to follow the regular procurement scenario and then determine them in the sale order using free goods determination.
    Regards,
    GSL.

    Arpita Rani

    Hello Arpita
    For 3rd party orders functionality you need to use account assignment category of X and not M. E and M are for individual Purchase orders. You should not use them for 3rd party.
    Please see the following OSS notes  and follow along:
    210997 - Accnt assignment categories in third-party and indiv.PO

  • 3rd Party Sale- Mat Typ

    Why it is necessary to've HAWA as a Mat Typ for 3rd party sales? What if we use FERT or any other Mat Typ?
    Rgds.

    HI R S,
    HAWA (trading goods)
    Trading goods are always procured externally and then sold. A material master record of this material type can contain purchasing data and sales data.
    The material type you choose determines:
    --->Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material.
    >Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally.
    >The number range from which the material number is taken.
    >Which screens appear and in what sequence.
    >Which departmental data you may enter.
    >What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both.
    >Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
    >Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record.
    >Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
    In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
    Thanks,

  • How to Prevent Workflow when Automatic PO created in 3rd Party Sales

    Hello,
    We have set up a special Sales Document Type for the purpose of 3rd party sales. The item category is TAS, so the Purchase requisition gets created automatically.
    The problem is that when the Sales Order is saved, it starts a Business Workflow and sends an email to our EDI Technical Team.  We want to disable the workflow functionality in this sales document because it is not needed.
    Is there a way to disable ALE for a sales document type?
    Thanks very much!

    Hi,
    Please review the following notes for more information:

    210997     Accnt assignmt categoriesin third-party and indiv.P
    On creating Purchase order for requirement created for a customer sales order stock, if the customer sales order stock is not valuated, this means a Consumption ( GBB ) account is involved here. If the posting is a consumption account, SAP allows the user to decide whether it should be autotmatically or manually entered. Because of this option, system need this account to be set with Field 'Automatic posting only' to ' '.
    With this field  'Automatic posting only' setting to ' ', whether the account can be automatically or manually entered is then controlled by the field status in the PO creation. If you do not want the user to enter the account manually, then this account should be set to display mode in PO.
    If the customer sales order stock is valuated, then in General business process, this would involve a BSX ( material account )
    postings. Normally this is automatically derived during PO creations. No manual enterring is allowed. Thus if it is correct to set this account with field Automatic posting only' setting to 'X' in FI settings.

    postings. Normally this is automatically derived during PO creations. No manual enterring is allowed. Thus if it is correct to set this account with field Automatic posting only' setting to 'X' in FI settings.

    Please check if note 842977 is present in your system.

  • The item is not relevant for billing. 3rd Party Sale

    Hello, experts,
    I have met a problem in 3rd party sale scenario. Here is the situation:
    1. I have created a sales order using a 3re party item (item category: tas and billing type: order-related billing). And the PR is generated successfully at the schedule line level.
    2. In the next step, I have created PO with reference to this PR.
    3. As in my situation, the items are sent to customer by vendor directly, there is no need to maintain MIGO and MIRO.
    4. I try to creat billing with reference to the sales order and here appears the error. The log shows:
    "The item is not relevant for billing."
    There are actually many threads in the forum and I have tried much of them.
    I have checked firstly in VOV8 the sales order type->the order-related billing type for OR(standard sales order) is F2.
                                            VOV7 the item category type->tas billing relevance: F (order-related billing)
                                            VTFA the copy control->F2 with OR and in the item level, the item category tans is also maintained.
    I can not decide where the problem is. Any idee?
    Thanks,
    Fan

    Hi
    3. As in my situation, the items are sent to customer by vendor directly, there is no need to maintain MIGO and MIRO.
    This statement is absolutely wrong
    MIGO is optional in third party transactions and MIRO is a Must
    Third party item cat billing relevance is F
    F: Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice quantity
    Relevant for order-related billing documents based on the invoice receipt quantity (third-party business transaction). The system transfers the order into the billing due list only after the vendor invoice has been received and processed in the purchasing department. After the receipt of each invoice, a  customer invoice is created for the quantity that appears on the vendor invoice. The order has status "Billed" until the next vendor invoice is received.
    Item category TAS (Third party item) is set up with billing relevance "F" in the standard system.
    This is the SAP explanation of F billing relevance
    Maintain the copy control settings in VTFA as suggested by the other friend
    Without MIRO you cannot invoice the customer in third party

  • Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order?

    Hi MM experts,
    Issue: Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order
    In Third party purchase process, first sales order created with a spl. item category  and it creates the PR automatically with the Sales order material and Qty and this PR converted PO.
    They got a pur.req. for sale order on same item for same delevery date. They did not get any warning msg. saying that a PO was prviously placed against this sale order.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    If anyone face the same issue, please let me know if you have any answer to this questions.
    Thanks in advance.
    Suresh.

    Suresh,
    It is hard for me to give you a definitive answer since you have created a customized solution.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    Normally, the system will not do this.  A third party PR or PO will be 'account assigned' to the Sales order.  SAP standard 3rd party will not create additional purchase reqs unless there has been manual intervention.  Try searching for changes in the Sales order and changes in the original purchase order.  They may give you a clue.
    I believe the normal Item category for third party SO is TAS (I am working from memory here, I am not in front of a system).  I don't know what ZTAG does.  I confess I am not an SD expert.  You might also want to post your question in an SD forum.
    You mention two custom applications, ZMMPLAN and ZSTPMP.  These somehow have functionality that is used to help you convert your PRs to POs.  If I were in your position, I believe I would also look at these applications for clues to how they might be contributing to your problem.  And please don't send me details about these apps.  I will not comment on custom code in this forum.
    Sorry I can't be of more help.
