STO for PLant abroad

Hi,
Is there any specific steps to create intra company STO for plant abroad. In help i can see the below
note. How to do this?
Stock transfer
Replenishment deliveries between different EU countries are relevant for billing. The billing status is A.
Appreciate your quick response on this.
Thanks,
Suresh

hi
if the plant belong to same company code, then you need to capture the duties etc that would come into picture cause it would also involve import duites for reciving countries. therefore you will have to change the calculation scheme and capture this. also if billing is involved you need to take delivery type NLCC.
Thanks

STO for Plants with different excise registers

Dear All,
We have to transfer the materials within a company code. Two plants are different one for trading where we maintain RG23D register and other for manufacturing where we maintain RG23C register.
Can we use STO for stock transfer between the Plants. And how to maintain proper excise register in both the Plants.
Regards
Vikas Sehra

You can definitely have stock transfer between two plants: one a manufacturer and another a trader.
Maintain the proper assignment of registers in the corresponding excise groups.
The STO process followed is as for a depot transfer:
1) STO, OBD, PGI, VF01 and J1IIN in the manufacturing plant where RG23A/RG23C gets updated
2) GR, J1IG at trading plant, RG23D gets updated with the reference to the parent invoice from the manufacturer.
3) VA01, OBD, J1IJ, VF01 during sales, here billing automatically picks up excise duty paid to government by the manufacturing plant
Please note that though you can mark up during sales from the trading plant (sell as a higher price), excise will still be the same as that paid to the government by the manufacturing plant. In case, you want to charge higher excise as well, please look at my document: CIN: Capturing Additional Excise at Depots Due to Price Change – A Certificate

Plants Abroad set up for consignment fill up

Hi,
We have scenario for Plants Abroad. There will be Consignment fill up process within EU from country to other.
There is need for VAT posting in Proforma Invoice for Consignment Fill up.
I would appriciate if any one let me know how Pricing can be set up,Will that tax posting (if we take MWST condition type) will be nullify with another tax condition.
Is there any documents or white paper avaialable for Plants Abroad -Consignment Fill up scenario for Pricing set up.
Looking forward for response asap.Thanks.

Hi Akshay
You can use consignment process as available in Std SAP. If u dont want to VAT postings to be updated till material is sold then u can have different account key and can post tax amount to intermediate account such as VAT payable and then at the time of consignment issue u can have different account key and can update actual tax account .
consult with your FI collegue ,this is process generally followed in stock transfer but u can modify it to use for your consigment posting.
revert if u want to discuss further

Plant Abroad functionality for South Korea with Company Code in India

Hi,
I need help on SD functionality set up with regards to Plants abroad functionality for the Parent company in India and a manufacturing Plant in South Korea.
Has anyone work on such scenarios with plant abroad in South Korea. If yes, please help with the SD setup especially CIN and taxation requirements from SD side w.r.t. a South Korean Plant.
Thanks a ton in advance.
Sameer

Hello Sameer,
I am working for Plants Abroad Funtionality for one Company Code with several Plants across Countries in Europe. Here there is a Standard feature given by SAP for INTRASTAT (Eupore) reporting. Also in Europe we can transfer stock from say plant in Germany to another PLant in France with charging any Tax.
But in your case you have Indian Company Code having Plant in South Korea... I don't know whether it is supported in SAP or not...
Also legally I wonder whether Indian Companies can own Plant in South Korea?
Infact most probably in your case there will be a seperate Company Code for Korean Plant... If that is the case then you don't require Plants Functionality.
Can you please further details of your Business Requirements?
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

Plants abroad - WIA billing document

Hello,
I have customized plants abroad as explain in note 506588, but when I try to bill the delivery document to obtain the WIA billing document, the system displays an error saying that the document is not relevant for billing.
The billing relevance of the item type used in the
delivery document is "Relevant for deliveries across EU countries". The plants used in the process flow are from Spain and from Denmark, so we need the billing document for the EU report in both countries.
The used flow is the following
Purchasign order: UB
Delivery document: NL
Sales document: NL
Item category: NLN
Billing document: WIA
Plants abroad are activated and the VAT Registration Number for Plants Abroad is entered. Does anyone know why the delivery is not relevant for billing if the item category is marked as relevant?
Thanks in advance, best regards.

Hi
Can you let me know ,
Is it the triangular deal you are speaking
Because from your flow , I could not see any delivery against the sales order.
Can you let me know .
Hope to help you.

<b>Plants abroad:</b> Sales-specific settings
Description
If plants exist abroad for a company, i.e. in the same company code, (within the EU), the tax postings and the trade statistics for the goods flow between these plants are required for (INTRASTAT) internal EU trades statistics. In SD, this applies to replenishment and consignment.
You can meet these requirements by carrying out billing with special settings in pricing for the relevant transactions:
Because the INTRASTAT declarations were created using billing documents and the tax postings were created using financial accounting documents, billing documents are created for consignment fill-ups or pick-ups and replenishment deliveries although they are not relevant for billing. However, because there are no amounts the billing document has a total value of 0, obtained using a special pricing procedure (see below). INTRASTAT declarations and tax postings (the billing document is forwarded to FI) are created based on the resulting billing documents.
Do not make these settings if the plant abroad is not in the EU. All that is required is a pro-forma invoice.
Change system parameters in customizing
You can find Customizing for 'Plants abroad' in the IMG via 'Sales and Distribution/Basic functions/Taxes/Plants abroad "Plants abroad".)
A special pricing procedure (RVWIA1) is assigned to the new billing document (billing type WIA) defined for replenishment deliveries and consignments between EU countries. This pricing procedure has the following structure:
      1. Pricing condition (PR00)
      2. Input tax in destination country (based on pricing condition)
      3. Output tax in country of departure (that is, 0% on deliveries within the EU)
      4. 100% discount R100 (based on pricing condition)
      5. Output tax in destination country (based on the 100% discount)
This causes the total value of the billing document to be 0. The discount annulls the price. Input and output tax have the same percentage rate so that the total of the tax posting is zero and the total billing document has value 0.
Changes to the interface
Stock transfer
Replenishment deliveries between different EU countries are relevant for billing. The billing status is A.
The origin of the VAT registration number (billing header) has a new value: J
Consignment fill-up / pickup
Consignment fill-ups / pickups between different EU countries are relevant for billing. The billing status is A.
The origin of the VAT registration number (billing header) has a new value: J
During consignment fill-up, the coutry of the ship-to party is now used as the departure country country for tax determination.
Changes in procedure
Deliveries that occur as a result of a stock transfer order, can be billed if the delivering and receiving plants are in different EU countries and belong to the same company code.
Consignment fill-ups and pickups can be billed if the delivering plant is in an EU country and the consignment stores are in a different EU country. The consignment fill-up is then no longer relevant for the INTRASTAT declaration.
Condition records must be created for tax conditions WIA1, WIA2, and WIA3.
      1. WIA1: Input tax in country of destination.
      The tax code for the tax determination procedure of departure country must agree with the tax code of the country of the company code. This is because the tax code is accessed via the company code country during forwarding to FI. The field 'reporting country' (that is - country of destination) must be maintained in the characteristics of the tax code.
      2. WIA2: Output tax in the country of departure (0 % for EU-internal deliveries)
      3. WIA3: Output tax in country of destination.
      The tax code for the tax determination procedure of departure country must agree with the tax code of the country of the company code. This is because the tax code is accessed via the company code country during forwarding to FI. The field 'reporting country' (that is - country of destination) must be maintained in the characteristics of the tax code.
The total of the taxes has a value of 0. The total of the billing document also has a value of 0. The price is reduced by 100% using discount R100.
Procedure for removing dataset errors
Note:
When you maintain the tax indicator, remember that the tax indicator must be maintained at the same time in different tax determination procedures, or that you have to create a general tax determination procedure containing the tax indicators of the different relevant countries.
Please read the Release Note

Plants Abroad

I have the following scenario:
1 There is a company situated in US and have two plants in Mexico. These two plants in Mx do the assembling job for back to back exports. There is a small local sales component from these two components. Appreciate whether I can treat these two plants are Plants Abroad.
2 Another scenario is similar to the above. A company is situated in one of the EU, and they have plants located in other countries in EU and have different VAT #. For the Org Structure, Do I need to create this plants abroad or it will be sufficient to create these plants as 2 legal entities. I am a bit confused about the language use in SAP documentation which is reproduced below:
This procedure simplifies the process of making tax returns for companies with several plants or warehouses abroad. Note that these are not real operation centers abroad; you would have to create separate company codes for these.
You should only use this function if you have several warehouses, distribution centers, or plants abroad.
If however, you only have individual warehouses abroad for example, you should set up a separate company code for each warehouse. Otherwise the functions and scope of the Customizing settings for plants abroad would be too complicated for a single entity abroad.
Appreciate your inputs
BR

Dear Sivakkumar,
we have implemented the Plant Abroad function for two of our plants in the EU.
This function is highly integrated in nearly all SAP Functions (has impact in Sales/FI/MM and even Travel Management u2013 through Accounting Interface in this case Note: only one Accounting Document is able to have one Tax Code with the same Tax Country when a customer or vendor is involved SAP has not provided a proper solution for this so far- that means doc. splitt)
So when you activate this function you will get a new dimension in the Tax Codes (FTXP) so you have to assign all your Tax codes to a country code and only the u201Cnew onesu201D you would like to use for e.g. Consignment Stock Process you have to assign to the other country e.g. Mexico.
The same step you have to do for the Tax Calculation Schema for the receiver Country e.g. Mexico or you have the same Tax calculation Schema for both countries but this could not be the case for US/MX.
If you do not assign all Tax Codes to a country you have to switch the country code at tax code level for nearly all postings.
e.g if you have an Invoice scanning solution for the MIRO in place you should also check this carefully.
Further on, when you activate this function you will get new visible fields on the T005 view (not table) because some customizing settings will move from the company code settings to the country specific settings.
However we use Plants Abroad mainly for the consignment stock delivery to our foreign u201Cvirtual plantu201D in the EU Countries where we have an EC Registration., so we can fulfil all Tax Reporting issues (EC Sales List, Intrastat Declaration and Tax Return Statements) without any problem and without to set up company codes etc. (simplified solution)
But I assume this function was mainly developed for the EU market and I am unfortunately not a Tax Expert on the legal Tax and Reporting Rules between US and Mexico. But as you already mentioned, nearly all Documentation (OSS,Saphelp etc.) on this topic refer to EU market. So I guess this is maybe not the usable way for your case.
See also the links below or check SE61 for WIA or check the heaps of OSS Notes (also with posting examples)

Plant Abroad and FB70

ONe of our companies (in Ireland) has a plant abroad in Romania (a Romanian VAT number) and use it for local product sales. They need to do royalties customer invoices with this plant abroad using the FI customer invoice (FB70), but because of Romanian tax rule, the document type must have a specific number range for avoid gaps in the invoice numbers. I don't find field in the FB70 where you can specify what is the "plant" VAT number you're using so it is not present fields I can use for made a substitution of number range. The only solution is to have a document type for plant abroad in the sames company?
Thanks
Davide

The situation is this:
one Ireland company with plant abroad in Romania, so two VAT number, 1 for Ireland the other for Romania.
only a document type for FI customer invoice (the standard DR), so a unique number range for both the VAT number.
In this situation can have a things like this:
document 1000001,1000002,1000003 witht Irish VAT codes, document 1000004,1000005 for Romanian VAT codes, 1000006 for Irish,1000007 for Romanian. So in the Romanian VAT books enter the document 1000004,10000005,1000007.
This is not good because fro ROmania tax rules the number gaps are not admitted ,the correct situation in a Romanian vat book should be 1000001,_1000002_,_1000003_,1000004,1000005,_1000006_,1000007. But this is not possible using a unique document type, because in FI customer invoice posting is not possible specify the VAT number of plant you want use.

Activating plant abroad functionality

Hello,
I have activated plant abroad functionality for canada and while doing the retail invoice through transaction code FB70 system is not displaying any tax codes for choosing before activating plant abroad functionality tax codes are available for choosing from drill down.
Could you some body can explain why system is not displaying tax codes for choosing.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Satya

Activating plants abroad functionality opens up another field in tax codes configuration (transaction code FTXP), which is reporting country. You have do add that reporting country in your tax codes. Then in FB70 when you attempt to choose a tax code, system prompts you to enter reporting country. Enter that and you will see your tax codes. You may want to look at all the activities you need to do after you activate plants abroad functionality.
Activate Plants Abroad
Use
This function lets you do your tax returns for plants in foreign countries without having to create a separate company code for these plants.
Note
If you activate this function, you will have to make various tax settings again and may have to make a number of changes to the old settings.
Requirements
Plants abroad cannot be actual plant locations in foreign countries.
Activities
1. Activate the Plants abroad function by selecting Plants abroad active.
Some new fields become activated once you set this function. You enter them in the following activities:
1. In the Define Countries activity in the Global Settings IMG, you have to enter:
Country currency for the tax return
Exchange rate type (usually "M")
Indicators for the tax base and cash discount base
2. In the Define Tax Codes for Sales and Purchases activity, you have to enter the Reporting country for the tax codes by choosing Properties.
3. You make the remaining settings in the Define VAT Registration Numbers for Plants Abroad activity.

Partial shipping through STO for SD

Hi Guru's,
please help with solution for my following business scenario.
I have 3 plants for ex A, B and C, normally manfaturing will be done in plant B and C. if we have sales order in plant A we want to create STO for plant B for some line items and STO for plant C for remaining line items (they r doing manually). here we would like to ship items directly to customer in sales order from plant C. is it possible?
suggest any best solutions for above case.

The customer in V_001W_IV-KUNNR is "plant customer", it represents the issuing / supplying plant to which it is assigned and not the customer(s) of receiving plant(s).
You have to extend this customer to the STO sales area of its own plant and of the receiving plants'. Whenever you create an sTO in which the receiving plant is this, the plant customer will appear in the delivery as ship-to. Independently from the supplying plant, the ship-to party is the same if the receiving plant is the same.
So, one of them is enough even if you have several plants and you want to have STOs between them.
You can define several customers for issuing plant based on plant/storage location combinations:
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set Up STO > Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations > Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
However I guess you only have to understand how this works and you need only one customer per plant...
Please understand how it works before sending lots of messages...

Csaba

Inspection Lot Not Triggered for STO - One Plant to other Plant in same Company

Dear SAP Gurus,
We have a scenario of STO for one plant to other plant with in the same company code.
The process is being followed as follows ;
1. We create stock transfer by creating P.O thru ME21N
2. Create Outbound delivery thru VL10B
3. Doing PGI & Picking thru 'VL02N. Thru movement type '641'
The QM settings are as follows to trigger an inspection lot
1. Inspection lot origin '08' activated in MM.
2. Quality plan is defined and task list is released.
3. 'VL02N' is defined thru 'OMJJ' for movemrnt type '641'.
But while doing PGI no inspection lot is created.
Our requirement is to trigger a inspection lot and Invoicing / Billing only possible after inspection lot Approval.
Please advice.
Thanks

Hi
As per my understanding inspection type 10 should be activated in QM view material master.
Can you please check the below thread and also check some similar threads.

STO for Muliple Plants through delivery

Dear Gurus,
I have configured the STO process through Delivery and Shipment for my 4 plants within one CC. The process is running end to end. The problem is that one of my plant can recieve stock from any one of my other 3 plants or you can say that 1 plant can transfer stock to any of the other 3 plants as the requirement arises.
Unfortunately, in SAP Customizing Implementation Guide - Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Set up Stock Transport Order - Define Shipping Data for Plants there is provision for entering only one customer number and I have created a separate customer master for all 4 of my plants. I need to do this for automatic route determination.
Can anyone please suggest a solution or a work around for this process.

The customer in V_001W_IV-KUNNR is "plant customer", it represents the issuing / supplying plant to which it is assigned and not the customer(s) of receiving plant(s).
You have to extend this customer to the STO sales area of its own plant and of the receiving plants'. Whenever you create an sTO in which the receiving plant is this, the plant customer will appear in the delivery as ship-to. Independently from the supplying plant, the ship-to party is the same if the receiving plant is the same.
So, one of them is enough even if you have several plants and you want to have STOs between them.
You can define several customers for issuing plant based on plant/storage location combinations:
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set Up STO > Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations > Define Shipping Data for Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations
However I guess you only have to understand how this works and you need only one customer per plant...
Please understand how it works before sending lots of messages...
