Stock Transfer Freight automation

Greeting All,
My organization has requested the following solution to manage delivery costs of product transfer from plant to plant, same company code.
ability to have the system apply standard freight amounts based on the shipping and receiving plants
freight cost be plant/material specific
materials where sometimes we need to expense the freight cost and other times we want to capture the freight cost in the standard material cost
Business has suggested using table(s) to maintain the different freight rates from point A to point B per material.
I'm not sure this is possible as they would like to see it, but I'm sure there are some options and would very much appreciate a recommended solution or possible options if anyone has dealt with anything similar or built Z programs to handle such a requirement.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
   1. Create a freight condition type (or use FRA1 / FRB1 or similar) with acruel flag. Maintain the freight condition in the pricing procedure with acrual key. This condition can be used when you want to show the freight as separate line item in accounting doc.
   2. Create another freight condition without acrual flag and maintain it in pricing schema without acrual key. This condition can be used when you want to capture the freight to material cost.
   3. Create new condition table in M/03 with plant, material and supplying plant.
   4. Create a new access sequence in M/07 and assign the condition table to the access sequence.
   5. Assign the access sequence to both the condition type in M/06.
   6. Maintain the condition record for the freight amount in MEK1 as applicable. Here, you can maintain the freight amount based on supplying plant, receiving plant and material.
   7. Assign GL account for the acrual key assigned against the freight condition in OBYC.
   8. Create new PO and test the scenario.

Stock Transfer Order - Post freight cost in diff. G/L of the material cost

Hi Friends,
I created PO (stock transfer Plant to plant). In condition I added
standard price and Freight cost. When I received material in
receiving plant the freight cost was added in total stock valuation of
receiving plant.
In Plant to Plant transfer I want to see only stock value without
freight cost in receiving plant. We want freight cost in other G/L different of the material cost.

Edgardo Delgado

Hi
Futher to Imdarpan statement, normally we will have different pricing procedure for STO's for the reason you are mentioning with this procedure for freight you can define acct key & accrual if reqed seperately & while posting respective documents it will not go to material cost it will get accounted in different G/L account.
If you are not maintaining accural tick in condition it will get added to material cost, just maintain this in freight condition.

Intracompany stock transfer-value stock transfer by adding freight charges?

Hi
We want to setup an intracompany stock transfer using purch.doc type UD - with delivery processing.
By standard configuration when I post the goods issue in the delivering plant it value the material movement by using the price from the delivering plant.(MAP/Standard price - whichever applies according to price control)
How can we uplift this with a freight or service charge?
I have checked the pricing procedure RM2000 "Stock Transfer Document" which is assign to purchase document type UD in standard. This pricing schema allows in the stock transport order to enter freight conditions FRB1 and FRC1 which is exactly what we want.
However, when posting the goods issue now in the delivering plant, SAP complains that it can't post the accruals for FR1. The error message indicates that no account was found. Having checked OMWB though, the MM account determination is complete. I suspect the problem is the value string attached to movement type 641 which doesn't allow freight clearing/provisions at all....
Anyone an idea?

Hi ,
STOs can very well handle freight costs :
You can create new freight / delivery cost conditions in M/06 and assign in pricing procedure "RM2000" in M/08
also assign the Accrual Key to this and do the Account Detrmination for this Accrual Key in OBYC
If your MAP in sending plant is 100 and freight in 10
At the time of PGI, following accounting entry will get generated;
Stock A/c - Dr - 110 (Receiving Plant)
Stock A/c - Cr - 100 (Supplying Plant)
Freight Clearing A/c - Cr - 10 (Supplying Plant)

Automation in Stock Transfer

Dear All,
Suppose there is one material which is a by-product. On its production (101) entry will be like this.
Material Name:- Pig Iron
1
Production Scrap Inventory (Pig Iron) Debit    - Stock Account
Inventory Change     Cr - P&L Account
Now the same will be converted in to RM category with new material i.e. Pig Iron One
At that time entry will be
2
Raw Material Inventory (Pig Iron One) Debit - Stock Account
Production Scrap (Pig Iron) Cr. - Stock Account
Now my question is what about my inventory change amount as it should also be knocked-off to have its P&L impact as in abov entry, there is a stock to stock transfer and not change in P&L.
So I want a trigger entry like below.
3
Inventory change (New Code)                Dr. (Pig Iron) - P&L Account
RM Consumption for Re Processing Pig Iron Cr. (Pig Iron One) - P&L Account
After this invemtory it will be very clear to guage my P&L impact and also the same can be further used for consumption.
So how to get this trigger entry (No.3) automatically as entries 1 & 2 is as per normal practice.
Regards,

what you describe is not by-product but scrap-postings. You could save your material transfers and the postings if you in fact used the raw material pig iron one as by-product. You could have a planned qunatity of by-products but then always decide at confirmation time what the actual quantity of by-product was.
best regards,
                      Udo

Stock transfer from 1 branch to another(with allocation of freight charges)

Hi
The clients scenario is: Its a Trading company. Head office is located at Delhi. All the material is purchased and received in general wharehouse. After that it is to be transfered to diffrent branches. All branches are marked as warehouse. During transfer freight is applicable. This freight is to allocate on item cost CBM/Volume wise means inventory should get updated by Last purchase price+ freight allocated on item CBM/Volume wise.
Standard inventory transfer does not have freight allocation provision.
Rs 10,000(Suppose)= this is total lorry freight
UDF lorry volume= 1000m3, so 1m3 will cost Rs 10.
Now calculation:
CBM/Volume of item=2m3(in master data)
Qty during inventory transfer=3, so 6m3 is volume occupied by item in the lorry.
So item freight should be 6m3*10Rs=Rs 60.
Inventory should get updated by last price+freight applicable on item.
How to handle this SAP B1?
Thanks

Hi
U have to use Inventory Transfer with some UDFs then u can make Inventory revaluation..
of
Use GI and GR with some UDFS and FMS to do for these Process...
THere is no other way in Default SBO.

Issue in Stock transfer

Hi
We have an issue in Stock Transfer. the Stock transfer happens between a manufacturing plant which is excise registered and a depot, which is not excise registered. We raise a Stock Transfer order from the depot on manufacturing plant with a freight component. The system creates a freight provision in the depot, when the goods issue is done by the manufacturing plant against the stock Transfer Order. After the goods issue the material is shown in Transit in report MB5T until the same is recieved by the depot. However, some goods are lost in transit and the same is recovered from the freight vendor. In such a case, we do a MIGO for the actual quantity recieved at depot and pass a debit note to vendor by loading the difference to material.
The issue is:
1. the quantity and the value of the physical inventory recieved have been rectified by a recovery from the vendor.
2. However, how can we remove the goods, which we have short recieved from the report MB5T
The certain work around we have thought could be :
1. Receive the quantity in full at the recieveing Depot and then scrap the material to the extent it has been received short through M Type 551. However, the issue arises in case of transfer of goods from one manufacturing plant to another, where in both are excise registered. In such a case, goods receipt in full would not be correct as it would raise issues in excise registers.
Please suggest
Regards
Sanil K Bhandari

Hi,
One suggestion is you can pass a document through MB1A for material loss in transit for the mateial lost.
Followign accounting Entry would be hit :
Transporter shrinkage Clearing Dr
to Inventory Raw Mateial Cr
You can pass the same document through Mvt. Type 951 (GI Lost in Transit).

Intercompany Stock Transfer starting from Plant Maintenance

Dear SAP Experts,
We are planning to implement Intercompany Stock Transfer Process starting from Plant Maintenance side.
We would like to be able to order for maintenance work order material which belongs to different plant.
After adding such material to work order system should automatically create purchase requisition with Item Category U – Stock Transfer.
Such purchase requisition will be then converted to P.O. Then standard MM process will follow meaning on supplying plant side Delivery & Goods Issue will take place. And on receiving plant side Goods Receipt against P.O.
Can you please let me know whether there is standard process which covers what was described above especially part on Plant Maintenance side?
If there is no standard process can you please advise (propose some best practices) how we can realized such request?
Many thanks in advance.
Grzegorz

Grzegorz
From memory, with intercompany trading you need to create a PO/PR on Company A and a corresponding Sales Order on Company B.
This can be automated via MM
I would suggest you ask the question in the MM Forum..

Stock transfer from plant to depot

Dear Experts,
I have used special procurement type along with additive cost in DEPOT.
There is one more tcode-okyo- Assign origin group to condition type.What is the use of the same?.
one more doubt in STO from Plant to depot
lets say- material(A) standard price in depot 120rs including excise/freight and 100rs in plant
while doing transfer system will dr 120 depotand credit 100 plant and 20 in depot cost center.
I m transferring this 20 rs to depot cost center and when actual freight is coming.i will book the same in depot cost center.
So 20 rs will knock off in depot.
Is it correct approach?
regards
Raman Rana

Hi Ajay,
If i will maintained Moving price at depot and standard at plant.
Lets say stock transfer from plant to depot
Standard price at plant 100rs
Price at depot=standard price at plantfrieghtinsurance= 120rs
So my inventory a/c at depot 120 rs DR
          inventory a/c   at plant 100 rs with standard price
          frieght and insurance clrg a/c 20 rs
When i got actual bill of frieght and exceise
let say 25 rs
I will debit    frieght and insurance clrg a/c 25rs
                   credit vendor a/c                     25rs
In that case i have difference of 5 rs in clrg a/c
Is it correct? or any other way for doing it?
regards

Frieght for intra company stock transfer

hi all,
Greetings!
Our requirement is to include the Freight cost included to the intra company stock transfer.
Generally, we don't use any pricing procedure for intra company STO and ther is no condition tab for the PO.And the GR will be valuated at the valuation price of supplying plant.
If we assign pricing procedure in the configuration for "Determine Schema for Stock Transport Orders" , how will the system find the valuation price of the supplying plant and include the freight cost to that. Is there any standard condition type available to capture the valuation price of supplying plant.
Regards
Gobinathan G

Hi,
U Can use the calculation Schema for STO.
M/06--> RM2000 -- STO is the std template.
Then under : Define Schema Determination
Determine Schema for Stock Transport Orders
Then based on the Document type in PO the Automatic pricing Procedure will trigger.
you can maintain the Fright cost there.
Accounting entries:
Receiving plant Inventory a/c : Dt
Supplying Plant Inventory a/c : Ct
Fright clearing A/C : Ct

Plant to Plant Stock Transfer

Hi,
I want to do stock Transfer from one Plant to another Plant in the same company.
Pls. tell me about the process & the configuation needs to be done.
Regards,

Hi Aditi,
Please follow the step-wise procedure:
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Kaveri
1.Create a vendor for the company code of receiving plant, using account group :0007 using T-Code XK01.
2. Assign this vendor to Delivering plant
Go to XK02 >Purchasing view>Extras>Add. Purchasing data>Plant
3. Create internal customer with the sales area of the vendor. Go To XD01
4. In Pricing procedure determination relevant to STO, assign document Pricing Procedure and customer pricing procedure appropriate for STO to get the pricing in the invoice.
5. Maintain condition records for the relevant pricing condition.
6. Some more setting for STO: Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Receiving plant >assign customer here & Supplying SA (for billing) to Receiving plant here
7. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Supplying plant and assign the sales area of receiving plant.
8. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > assign delivery Type & Checking rule
Assign the delivery type to document type. In this case, Delivery type NLCC is assigned to Document type NB
9. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > Assign document Type, One step Procedure, Under delivery tolerance
Assign the document type NB to supplying plant and receiving plant
10. After all settings , Create the STO using T-Code:ME21N and maintain pricing conditions of freight and Save.
11. Create Delivery :VL10G
Click on the Background Button after selecting line item
A message is flashed : See log for information> next Click on Log for delivery creation Button >click on line item>click on document button to get Delivery document No
12. Picking, PGI:VL02N
13. Billing:VF01
Save the document and its done
14. MIGO - Goods Receipt against outbound Delivery
Pricing configuration for STO: -
In SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Conditions > Define Price Determination Process > Define Schema Determination > Determine Schema for Stock Transport Orders > Here assign Calculation Schema "RM2000" i.e. Stock Transfer Document to Schema Grp Pur. Org, STO Type (For e.g. UB) and Supplying Plant.
Calculation Schema "RM2000" has condition type P101 which will pick up the MAP of supplying plant automatically during creation of STO in ME21N ("Conditions" Tab).
You can create new freight / delivery cost conditions in M/06 and assign in pricing procedure "RM2000" in M/08 and also assign the Accrual Key to this and do the Account Determination for this Accrual Key in OBYC
At the time of PGI, following accounting entry will get generated;
Stock A/c - Dr - 110 INR (Receiving Plant)
Stock A/c - Cr - 100 INR (Supplying Plant)
Freight Clearing A/c - Cr - 10 INR (Supplying Plant)

Stock transfer without STO

Dear All,
For Stock transfer between two plants in two step procedure, if delivery costs / freight charges are to be captured, we need to create Stock Transport Order.
Is there any advancement in ECC 6.0, which fecilitates us to make stock transfer (with freight charges) without creating any Stock Transport Order.
Regards
Satish

If the stock transfer is within same premises, then it can be handled through transfer posting, T.Code: MB1B, using movement type from plant to plant.
In Indian scenario, STO is recommended, as Excise duty is to be captured.

Markup price in stock transfer scenario

Dear All,
We have inter plant stock transfer scenario. The flow is : PO --> delivery --> PGI --> Proforma.
While doing PGI the system picks up the price from material master. Here we need some mark up price to be included as well.
For this, we assigned the pricing procedure to the delivery type (NL)
Here when we go to item conditions, the screen is non editable.
Can anyone suggest where the problem is? also right way to do this
Regards,
Vijay

Normally freight & service charges if incurred would be loaded into the stock value of the receiving plant.
However if you want to post them to COPA you have to post these values to P&L by making necessery changes in MM pricing procedure and making the respective GL accounts as cost elements and assign them in OKB9 to a Prof Segment.

Intracompany sales/stock transfer management processes with WBS and New G/L

Hi all,
we have a scenario in which we need to transfer project stock between two projects. Both belong to the same Company Code. The transfer must be conduct as if it was a sale.
Basically the scenario is the following:
1) Material A is in stock of Plant P1 under Project WBS1 (linked to Functional Area FA1).
2) Plant 2 needs to "purchase" that stock and put it under WBS2 (linked to Functional Area FA2).
We have new G/L with the Functional Area set as a balancing dimension so any transfer between the two Plants should generate a billing document to balance the two Functional Areas. The stock should be moved between the two Plants/Projects.
How would you manage this scenario in SAP?
I've read all the documentation related to Intercompany Business Processes in SD Billing and everything related to Transfer Prices with New GL however I've found no information on this particular scenario.
In particular, the STO cannot be used since it allows only to move the stock between two Plants without having the WBS dimension on the receiving plant (i.e. I can move stock from Plant P1/WBS1 to Plant P2/WBS1 - which is not what I need since I need it on WBS2). Besides, but I'm not sure, the automated billing seems to be possible only in case the transfer is between Plants belonging to different company codes (I still need a FI document for balancing the Functional Areas).
The transfer price scenario, which is the one recommended by SAP for Intracompany sales, is not applicable as well since we don't have Profit Centers and, as far as I've understood, it doesn't seem to allow stock transfer between different WBS as well.
The only scenario I thought so far is to use a Purchase Order/Sales Order scenario:
The PO would allow WBS2 to receive in Plant P2/WBS2 the stock purchased against internal vendor Plant P1.
The SO would allow WBS1 to sell the stock (i.e. issue it from Plant P1/WBS1 to internal customer Plant P2).
The billing would be done against the SO and the incoming invoice would be posted against the PO (hence recognizing internal revenues and internal expenses).
This process, however, requires a lot of reconciliation activities and is error prone as there is no cross-check between SO and PO data.
Do you have any hints or suggestions to manage this differently?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Ciao!
Max

Hi seesen_rs,
thank you for your answer.
We also thought of that but the issue is that the 301Q moves stock immediately while we need to monitor the order and the shipment of the material (the 301Q is posted when the goods arrive at P2/WBS2). Besides, we also need to consume budget upon order so the PO/STO would help us for the first part of the process (i.e. when the goods are requested from P2/WBS2), then we should do the 301Q and then the billing. In order to keep the whole document chain linked we should also make us of custom fields. An alternative would be to use direct Goods Issue and Goods Receipt however they would have no references for budget and material requirement tracking purposes, hence not very helpful.
Also SAP said there is no easy way for managing this
Ciao!
Max
