SD billing document (transfer between plants) error in document splitting

Dear Gurus.
I have the following scenario.
New GL activated
Zero balance on Profit Center.
SD billing document is created after the shipping of material (internal transfer) between 2 plants belonging to the same company code.
I have several user exits activated and they are not well documented if activated.
Case1.
The billing document is usually created with materials populated with the same Profit Center.
In Tr VF01/VF02 the function: Release for Accounting is executed and no accounting document is created (OK cause they belong to the same company code), this function is just closing the cycle of the billing document to set the status as completed.
Case2.
Billing document containing several materials with more than one Profit Center
During the execution of the function: Release for accounting the following error is gotten: Position 1 is not populated with Profit Center - apparently caused by the splitting rule - financial document creation - the status of the billing document is not set to Completed, is kept as opened.
As I commented In case 1 I do not have any accounting document (no error message)
Doubt 1
Is it possible that the splitting rule is being checked even though no accounting document is created (remember billing in a scenario of material transfer between plants belonging to the same company code)?
Apparently in case 1 I do not have any error cause the splitting rule is deriving the profit center in a passive basis: Inheritance.
In the other way, in case 2 the splitting rule is trying to derive the profit center in an active basis. In my configuration I actually do not have any configuration for the combination of transaction, variant, position to be derived, position basis.
Doubt 2.
Is this the standard behavior of SAP?
Could this be caused by a user exit not identified?
thanks in advance for any advice provided
Regards vpa
Valentin PA.
2.
In case 1 is clear that as only one profit center is shown theoretically the inheritance rule is populating the Profi

It would be possible, I suppose. You could generate Idocs from the SD system (or an interface file) and import that info into the FICA system. Of course the FICA system could not know about the sales order etc - so limited research abilities would exist.
For the second question, that would only function in a single system scenario, and yes the SD document flow would reflect its clearing status in FICA.

bill.

Error when doing two step transfer between Plants with split valuation

Hi expert,
I´ve activated split valuation for Material X , it has three Valuation types ( NEW, REPAIR and DAMAGE ) . The problem arose when i tried to do a two step transfer between plants ( mov 303 ) and i got the following error msg :
Use one-step procedure for transfer posting to mat. subj. to valuation
Message no. M7048
Diagnosis
In the receiving plant, the material is subject to split valuation. For this material, a stock transfer cannot be carried out using the two-step procedure.
Procedure
Use the one-step procedure (movement type 301) or a stock transfer order for the stock transfer.
The message is very clear itself , but... i just wonder if there`s actually any way to avoid this, I tried to change the error msg into a warning but couldn´t find it in customizing. Thanks for any comments on this !

Hi,
What do you mean with "inconcistent to my storage type definition?", is that mean i can process two step transfer without using PO/delivery process or one-step movement? coz according to business requirement, we must use two step transfer considering to the distance between plants is so far and we want to make it the simple way so that PO/Delivery process isn't better solution. I think, this is an standard procedure all company over the world can use but just the reason of split valuation the system can't execute the transaction.
Is there any config i miss to? is there any user exit i can use for this requirement? please help me..
thanks,
AJ

Automatic PO from PR from MRP for transfer between plants

Hi,
We want to use the automatic creation PO with tcode ME59. this scenario is clear when the purchase is from a supplier. but ¿this can be used also for transfer between plants?
For example we don´t have info records for transfer this material to one plant to another and this is a requirement in automatic po
The PO type is also different when transfering the materials between plants
The PO does not relate a supplier in header, instead it has the plant code.
However I tried to execute the automatic creation of PO with ME59 and I obtain the error below
Thanks
Jorge G

Use ME59N,
But before using ME59N, you have to configure something, we know in ME59N, system will take default document type as NB automatically. (Check the sap note 924105, 114213, 994209)
You have to set the control T for the document type, so system will take the supplying plant instead of vendor.
Only then you can create automatic PO from ME59N.
I've tested that and I've done it successfully.

Stock transfer between plants for split valuated materials

Hi,
I'm doing a stock transfer between plants without STO.
The FG's are split valuated,which are transferred from central warehouse to other warehouse at different states.
I'm trying to use mvt type 303 and 305 to transfer the FG.
But getting error "Use one-step procedure for transfer posting to mat. subj. to valuation".
Please suggest how to achieve the requirement.
Is it possible to make 303 mvt type document to be parked and posted.

Stock Transfer between plants two steps.

DearAll,
We are using the scenario stock transfer between plants two steps.in the source plant we are issueing the goods with on 303 movement in MIGO with Remove from storage option. in the receiving plant we are receiving the goods with refernce to 303 material document in MIGO with place in storage option.
we are using the version SAP 4.7.
my problem is at the time of goods receipt SAP is allowing to the posting date less than the source plant 303 document date. it should allow the posting date as Greater than equal to source plant document date at the time of GR.
Any standard pracktise is there.
for example source plant 303 document date is 08.06.2009 wrongly i have entered the receiving plant 305 document posting date as 06.06.2009 it is allowing to post it is not throw any information. it should not allow to know.
i want to control this. any standard controls is there. kindly help.

What is Cycle or steps to create Stock transfer between plants.

What is Cycle or steps to create Stock transfer between plants.
Reply with T Codes & Justify

Hello RM
We can transfer stocks within a company code between 2 plants using 3 methods:
1) Using single step simple stock transfer (Mvt Type 301).
2) Using two step stock transfer (Mvt Types 303 and then 305).
3) Using a stock transport order(STO) again it is based on 2 things:
a) r u using STO with delivery or
b) without delivery.
Though the first two steps are very simple to process but using STO has its own advantages: 1) Quantity in transit can be monitored 2) delivery costs can be entered in the STO.
First 2 steps (single step and 2 step plant to plant transfer) can be done using MIGO tcode , selecting stock transfer and entering the relevant mvt types.
would like to tell you about STO as it is an important process.
STO without delivery, the following functions are provided to support the Internal Stock Transfer without Delivery :
#Create Stock Transport Order
#Post goods issue for stock transport order
#Post goods receipt for stock transport order
Config Step required before processing above steps:
Setting Up Stock Transport Order: Purchasing Document Type, the purpose of this activity is to specify which document type is to be used for a certain combination of supplying (issuing) plant and receiving plant.
Path go to SPRO--MM-Purchasing---PO-Set up STO-----assign doc type, one step procedure, underdelivery tolerances.
There you have to enter your supplying and receving plant with the Purchasing doc type( UB).
Now the process:
1) Receiving plant will create a STO towards issuing plant.
2) Issuing plant will transfer material from their unrestricted use stock to stokc in transit using mvt type 351.
3) Receiving plant receives the goods using MIGO mvt type 101.

Stock transfer between plants without STO and storage locations

Hi.
In case of stock transfer betwen storage locations with one step it is possible to do stock transfer between different stock types. But in Two step it is only possible to do stock transfer from unrestricted to unrestricted.
In case of Stock transfer between Plants without STO in one and two step stock transfer, it is possible to do stock transfer from unrestricted to unrestricted.
Is there any reason for this?

Hi
Thanks for your reply. But i could not understand the sentence - But this is not possibles with 2 step procedure. becasue 2 step is recored will be maintained . In 2 step it not possible. Can you please eloborate on this

Stock transfer between plants two steps 303-305

Dear All,
We are using version SAP 4.7 we are using stock transfer scenarion between plants two steps. 303-305 source plant they will remove the stock with 303 movement in the receiving plant they will receive the goods against the 303 document number.
at the time with 305 movement type one document generated in that document table MKPF 303 reference number should be updated but in the 305 document the reference document 303 not updated in table MKPF.
why?...any updations required. because i want to develop an user exit at the time of Goods receipt with 305 movement in the receiving plant now it is allowing posting date as <= 303 document posting date it should be allow only >=303 document posting date at the time of 305 document generation in the receiving plant.
in MKPF table the reference document is not updating ....any ideas....
im using the standard Enhancement :MBCF0002
EXIT_SAPMM07M_001.
Regards
Anand..

Hi..

receiving plant 305 document posting date is should be greater than or equal to source plant 303 document posting date how can achieve this?.
via user exit in the reciving plant 305 document the reference document not updated. how to achieve this?...
any ideas..

Transfer between Plants accounting.

Hi experts,
We are transferring a material between plants using movement type 301 (MB1B).
Material price control is 'V' in both plants, nevertheless in some transfers, the accounting document shows an amount in the G/L Account informed in the transaction AUM from OBYC.
We though this account shouldn't appear as the price control is 'V'.
Why is this account appearing? How can we find out why is this account appearing?
Thanks

Hi kailasugale,
Thanks for your answer.
We are trying to reproduce this behaviour in our sandbox system. As we don't know why had happened in our Productive System.
The price in both plants was different before the transfer, as the stock in the receiving plant was zero, after the transfer both prices became equals. In this case the account of transaction AUM did not appear.
In your link we read: "Price differences can arise for materials with moving average price if stock levels are negative..."
So we made a transfer with higher amount than the available in order to get a negative stock. Despite this action the account in the AUM transaction did not appear.
We have no idea how to reproduce this situation in the productive system.
Thanks

Stock transfer between Plant/Storage location to Plant/Storage location

Dear Experts,
This is a MM component of SAP Retail.
We have 4 brands ( Plants of type B, Plants of type C etc) that needs inventory from the same Distribution center (Plant A) for some common products. Here the direction is to prioritize the inventory per brand. The requirement is one brand should not take the inventory of the other brand.
To overcome this problem , the solution proposed is to have different storage location for different brands in the same DC.
When we run replenishment planning for the brands and do a ATP check, the availability check should consider only the one issuing storage location in the DC which we allocated for the brand.
I do see the following set up in SPRO and I have done the following.
Step1: Activate Stock Transfer between Storage Locations SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations-> u2018Activate Stock transfer between storage locationsu2019
Step2: Assign Delivery Type and checking rule according to storage
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations->Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule According to Storage
Step3: Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfer between Storage Locations
SPRO ->Material Management ->Purchasing ->Purchase Order ->set up stock transport order ->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfers between Storage Locations 
Step4: Define Rule for Determination off Shipping Point SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations -> Set-up Storage-Location u2013dependent shipping point determination->Define rule for determination of shipping point
Step5: Shipping Point Assignment According to Storage Location
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->set up stock transport order->set up stock transport order between storage locations-> Set-up Storage-Location u2013dependent shipping point determination-> Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location
Question.No:1- After completing the above set up in me21n, the issuing storage location field is greyed out. I am not able to enter any value here. Can you please help.
Question.No:2
I do see the following setting.
Under IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set up Stock Transport Order -->Business Add-In for Determination of Issuing Storage Location
Display the IMPLEMENTATION
Double click on the method GET_SUPPLYING_SL
Click the Execute button
Click the detail button on IF_EX_MD_EXT_SUP
Execute GET_SUPPLYING_SL
There is a prerequisite for this BADI .I have done those things.What i dont understand is where to force the combination of supplying site/issuing stor.loc/receiving site/receiving stor.loc
Kindly provide your inputs.
Thanks,
Vasanthan

Dear,
Have You configure MRP in second plant (where you want to transport the Material).
Please try with this and do again Po for stock transport.

Stock transfer between plant to plant in blocked status

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody know how to use some mov. type to transfer restricted status between plant to plant?
Many thanks in advanced.
Luiz Geraldi

Luiz,
You cannot move 'blocked' or 'restricted' stock in this manner. This is not supported in ECC 5.0 and I would not think ECC 6.0 would be any different in this regard as this is a basic rule within standard SAP although I would think that in certain situations it would be beneficial to be able manage this in a simple move.
- As others have correctly pointed out, you have to change the stock status to 'unrestricted use', transfer/receive it (either using mvt 301, 303/305, 351/101, 641/101, 643/101 etc depending on the stock transfer mechanism used between the plants) and then finally change the stock status back to 'blocked'.
- Another option would to be to post an inventory adjustment using mvts 701/702 in both the plants and then change stock status in receiving plant to 'blocked'.
- Design a custom ABAP program to perform the sequence of movements in a single transaction. I think it would be important to get the timing right to avoid incorrect booking of stock.
- The movements could be also be linked in a single transaction using a workflow solution although I am not sure how simple or complex the solution might be.
Unfortunately, the quantity strings associated with movement types are hard-coded by SAP. So, it would not be possible to achieve this move using a custom movement type without any modifications.
Hope this helps.

Stock transfer between plants in a company with different price

Hi, expert,
i want to transfer materials between plants inside a company with different price which set by supply plant randomly, not the valuation price, how can i achieve this?
Thxs & best wishes,
David

Hi,
In short, you cannot.
Within SAP you cannot make a profit or loss by transferring an item between two Plants within the same company code.
This is not necessarily an SAP restriction as such, it is due to basic accounting rules.
The company code is seen as the legal entity for accounting and so if a movement within that company resulted in a loss or profit then this would break the rules.
I am not saying that it is impossible to set it up this way (nothing is impossible) but I personally recommend that you find another way of achieving this. Trying to modify the system to break such an important rule will definitely cause problems.
In previous implementations I have used the following option.
Simple use basic STOs that transfer the items at the material valuation price. But then at the end of each month produce a report that shows what materials have been transferred between the relevant plants and at THAT stage make a financial posting to reflect the "benefit" that has been realised (based on prices held in a new table, that represent the price that would have been charged).
It does appear to be a failing of the SAP system but it really isn't. What it normally indicates is that somehow the wrong org structure may have been built and perhaps the two plant should really be attached to separate company codes (especially if you need to show "profits and loss" in this way)?

Error in Stock transfer between plants.

Here user is transfering materials from one plant to another against a sales order. However, the system is issuing error messages like this:
"1. Sales Order (SOBKZ = ) is not provided for this goods movement.
1. Account xxxxx (Inventory change a/c) requires an assignment to a CO Object."
What is the meaning of these messages ? Should I maintain a CO assignment for the Account xxxxx ?

Hello Nikkitha
1) Please go through the following thread for the issue
[Sales order Goods issue;
[How to get rid this Warning=Sales order (SOBKZ = ) is not provided for this;
2) Here the account should have been the cost of goods sold rather than inventory change account. The error will go as COGS account will have no corresponding cost element.

Stock transfer between plants - availability check

Hi all,
We are currently facing a scenario, where a Stock transfer Purchase order is created for goods movement between two plants. The outbound delivery was created, but at the time of goods issue, there was a problem of inadequate stock on hand.
I wanted to know whether an availability check happens during an outbound delivery creation. (O/B del type : UL).
If not, then where does SAP check whether there is adequate stock available for the goods movement.
Please respond asap.
Regards,
Krishna

Hi
Availability check happen at both STO & delievry levels
in the STO level & deliverylevel system will chec`k the availabilty maintained against the document type in the below path
SPROIMG-Material managementPurchasingPurchase orderSet up stock transport order-Assign delivery type and checking rule
At the delivery item category level there is afield called availability check(AvailCkOf) check availability path as below

Stock transfer between plants - Material used is Asset material

Hi All,
We are using TAXINJ.
We are doing stock transfer of an asset material from Plant A to Plant B.
Proceedure followed as below:
Supplying Plant -
STO PO - ME21N
Outbound Delivery - VL10B
PGI - VL02N
Billing - VF01
Invoice DOc - J1IIN
Receiving Plant-
Goods reciept - MIGO
Capture excise thru - J1IEX
When capturing excise ETT is GRPO and the subtransaction type used is 01
We are getting the below message:
"No Cenvat amount to be posted"
"No Cenvat Amount to be reversed"
We are not getting any message when we are not using subtransaction type 01, and we are able to post part2 entries.
Pls suggest.
Thanks in advance
Pavan.

Hi Deivakaniraja,
Thank you for your suggestion.
Still have a querry....
The subtransaction type that is defined is not conventional.
We define various subtransaction type like 01, 02, 03, 04, but there is no standard that 01 to be used only for subcontracting.
I understand that IP is defined only for Import postings.
Can you pls brief me.
Thank You in advance.
