Subcontracting PO help!
Hi Gurus,
I have the following scenario here.
Company send 10 components out for subcontracting work. 10 finished products were received. 3 out of 10 products were spoilt. Vendor invoice is received for the 7 finished products.
How can we handle this scenario in the system?
Thinking of doing the following steps. Please advise if it is correct.
- Goods receipt for the 10 products
- Scrap the 3 spoilt products
- Not sure how to post the invoice. Post the invoice for 10 qty instead of 7. How do i resolve the open invoice qty?
Points will be awarded for helpful answers. THANKS!
As Vendor is invoiced for only 7 you have to make GR for 7 only. If u have already made GR for 10 nos you have the following options
1) REject the 3 nos in quality inspection and send them back to vendor as return delivery. Here you ensure that components required for end-product are also reversed i.e. are not consumed with 543 movement.
2) if you want to scrap the 3 nos received, u have to do invoice verification for 7 numbers only and clear the GR/IR manually
Hope this helps u

Hi gurus,
Kindly advise on my scenario below.
- Subcontracting PO for sending 10 empty chips to the subcontractor for programming.
- Subcontractor only send back 7 programmed chips. 3 chips were spoilt
How do I handle this scenario in the system?
Thanks.
Regards,
new@SAPHi
Option 1:
Make Goods receipt for 7 Chips.
Do a transfer posting 542 for 3 chips, & scrap them using 551 if required.
Now you can send to the vendor another 3 chips using 541 & Take GR after programming against the same PO.
Option 2:
If you donot want the usage of PO, but want to account the vendor for spoiling of chips, take a GR of 10, 7 into unrestricted use & 3 into Blocked stock to scrap them later.
Make a credit memo on the vendor for spoiling of chips.
based on your requirement , take one of the options
Thanks & Regards

company will produce new product whick its a component material need subcontracting.
We will:
1.we will send the component material (we can call it a001) to vendor (movement type 541) using t-code mb1b.
then we recieve the material b001 from vendor(movement type 101),and recieve the
material a001 (movement type 543) using tcode migo.
I have already setted:
1.i have already maintained the costing variant for the subcontracing using tcode okkn.
2.i have already created purchasing information record for the material b001 using t-code me11.
3.i have already created a balance sheet account 12320198 to collect the cost of subcontracting .(but i don't kown whether the account 12320198 should be the p&l statement acc. if yes is it necessary to create cost element for it,and assign a cost center to the cost element.)
4. i have already assigned the account 12320198 to the type FRL using tcode obyc.
5. i have already successfully make the standard cost calculate for b001 using tcode ck11n.but i don't kown is it correct.
my problems:
1. what should i do to collect the cost for subcontracing?
can any friend tell me the full flow about it,or give me some detail documents about it.
2.what the account documents the system will create when i recieve the material b001 from vendor using tcode migo,and when i verify the invoice using tcode miro.i.e what should i setting for the tcode migo&miro in this case.
3.i don't kown wheher it's accurately that i have already setted.

I have an error!
Fld selectn for mvmt type 543 / acct 2026800 differs for Cost center (010)
Message no. M7093
Diagnosis
Comparison of the field selection strings from movement type 543 and G/L
account 2026800 has revealed that there is an incompatible field
selection combination at one or more points.
Field for which the field selection is different: Cost center
Example
On the movement type screen, a given field is a mandatory-entry field,
whereas on the G/L account screen, the same field is suppressed.
System response
You cannot post this transaction, unless you have changed the field
selection adequately.
Procedure
Contact your system administrator.
Action to be taken by the system administrator
Check whether any postings resulting from this movement type are to be
made to the G/L account determined automatically. If you find that the
G/L account is not correct, check the automatic account determination in
the Customizing system for valuation.
Proceed
If the G/L account is correct, use the report RM07CUFA to compare the
field selection for the movement type with the field selection for the
G/L account and change the incorrect settings or the field status group
of the G/L account.
Proceed
Do you know what to do??

2 Subcontractors for the Subcontracting process, how to deal with it in SAP
Dear all
I encounter this scenario, please advise how to design it in SAP system for Subcontracting (SC) as it involves 1st subcontracting vendor SC-V01 and 2nd subcontracting vendor SC-V02. I am using the simple example of Colouring Bottom cover and then putting Bottom label done by the above 2 SC vendors respectively
1. Unlike normal subcontracting, my company places the 1st PO to the SC-V01 by supplying SC-V01
the Raw Material of bottle.
2. SC-V01 will COLOUR the bottom cover. Once done, SC-V01 will delivery this bottom with coloured
bottom cover to SC-V02.
3. Once the SC-V02 receives it, they will put the label on this bottom. Once done, it is delivered back to
my company.
Please advise me how to come out with the soluions on it and the Tcode.
Notes: Due to certain reason, we are not able to make only 1 SC vendor solely responsible for the whole thing. The business nature involves high volumes of Subcontracting which involves 2 SC vendors.
Marks will be given handsomely for helpful answer.
Thanks.Hi Prashant
Thanks for your reply.
The 1st BOM for SC-V01 is:
Bottle with Color Cover
- Bottle with uncolor Cover ->Lower BOM Component
The 2nd BOM for SC-V02 is:
Bottle with Color Cover with Label
- Bottle with Color Cover ->Lower BOM Component
Question 01:
Should the BOM be above structure or it should be the one you mentioned in your previous reply
1) Create BOM as below -
Labelled Bottle
\--> Coloured Bottle
\--> Bottle
2) The procurement for material will be as below -
Labelled bottle: F - 30
Coloured Bottle: F - 30
I just want to know, what is the setting that allow the virtual GR for the SC-V01 in our system (physical GR is done to the SC-V01 as the input for the process of putting Label to the already colored bottle cover) that will " After GRN, the material will be treated as provided to the S/C-V02. You need not transfer the material agai to the S/C-V02".
Question 02:
I wonder how can the above happen? Is it due to any additional setting we have done or it is merely the linkage I have between 2 BOM, where the Semifinished material of 1st BOM becomes the Raw Material of the 2nd BOM?
Quesiton 03:
How about the Subsequent Adjustment? Should it be done at the end of each subcon or can I just do it once at the end of the 2nd subcon?
Question 04:
I just found out from SAP HELP [Multilevel Subcontracting|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/EN/6e/6bc5e672ef11d2a7350000e82a3c24/content.htm], that we actually need to set up MRP Area for it? is it really so complex?

Subcontracting with MRP areas / Customer consigment
Dear all,
I'm currently looking for some information regarding subcontracting processes with MRP areas.
On the first hand I need a general overview how subcontracting purchase orders would be handled with MRP areas. In addition I'm really interested in the replenishment of the subcontractor stocks. On the other hand some facts about the customizing would be fine.
My second topic is consigment stocks at the customer. So I need similar information as for the MRP areas but regarding this customer consigment.
It would be really great if someone has some literature recommendations or official documentations about these issue.
Many thanks in advance!
Regards
EnricoHi Enrico,
Working with subcontracting and MRP area's gives you the option to plan the requirements for the subcontractor separately and you can then order the components separately. This functionality is used when working with scheduling agreements and direct deliveries to the subcontractor as there this is a requirement.
A second instance where one would use and MRP area with sucontracting is that when a material is used both by the subcontractor and it's also used directly in the plant production. The requirements for the subcontractor can be separately planned using an MRP area.
The following links may give you some more information regarding working with subcontracting and MRP area's

Pricing procedure and CIN master
Hi MM Gurus,
I need one simple procedure for creating Pricing Procedure.........and ......creating Excise details and relating and can anybody show how the pricing procedure and excise (CIN) is related .
Regards,
Girish.C.MHi,
CIN Setting:
Check Calculation Procedure
In this activity, you can check and, if necessary, change existing procedures for tax calculation.
Standard settings
Calculation procedures containing the necessary specifications for the calculation and posting of taxes on sales/purchases have already been defined in the standard SAP system for certain countries. Every calculation procedure groups several tax types together into a condition type (for example, output tax or input tax) in the calculation procedure, and determines calculation rules for it.
The calculation procedure determines for which amount the individual condition types are to be calculated. This can be the base amount (total of the expense items and the revenue items) or a subtotal. The entry in column FrmLvl, determines for which amount tax is calculated.
Note
In this activity, the condition types for the check and the possible change provided in the standard system are also displayed. Here, for example, the condition calculation rule, or for which base amount the tax is calculated is determined (= condition type).
Recommendation
If possible, do not change the condition types and calculation procedures provided in the standard system. Only check the standard condition types and calculation procedures regarding whether you can use them for your requirements. If necessary, make changes.
Activities
If you cannot use the standard settings, change the condition types and calculation procedures delivered to meet your requirements.
Procedure (pricing, output control, acct. det., costing,...)
Specifies the conditions that are allowed for a document and defines the sequence in which they are used.
Example
Procedures are used, for example, in the following applications:
· Pricing in sales and distribution
· Applying overhead in Product Costing (costing sheets) and for CO internal orders
· Calculating accrued costs in Profitability Analysis
· Output control (printed confirmations, EDI messages, electronic mail)
· Account determination
· Calculating taxes on sales/purchases
· Calculating accruals in Cost Center Accounting
· Pricing for resource planning
Definition: condition type
Controlling (CO)
A distinction, in overhead calculation, is made between:
· Base condition types, which determine the object for which the overhead is to be calculated
· Overhead condition types, which define the percentage overhead to be applied
In resource planning, a condition type determines the types of resource prices that are stored in the SAP System. These can be absolute or percentage values, for example.
Real Estate Management (RE)
An exact definition of a condition that specifies the amount paid for a specific service.
Condition types include:
· Basic rent
· Advance payment for operating costs
· Pest control
Sales and Distribution (SD)
A characteristic of a condition.
For example, in pricing, different condition types are used to distinguish between a discount that refers to a net price and a discount that refers to a gross price.
Treasury (TR)
A characteristic of a condition used to classify financial transactions.
Typical examples of condition types are interest, dividends, or full repayment upon maturity. The various parameters specified for the individual condition types determine how the flows are calculated in the cash flow.
Return ->
Definition: condition_type
Condition type
The condition type is used for different functions. In pricing, for example, the condition type lets you differentiate between different kinds of discount; in output determination, between different output types such as order confirmation or delivery note; in batch determination, between different strategy types.
Access sequence
With the access sequence you define
· the condition tables used to access the condition records
· the sequence of the condition tables
· which field contents are the criteria for reading the tables
Assign Country to Calculation Procedure
In this activity, you enter the key for the calculation procedure which determines the conditions which are allowed per document and which defines the sequence of the conditions in the document for each country.
Requirements
Each calculation procedure which you enter must contain the necessary specifications for calculating and posting the taxes on sales/purchases. For more information on this, read the chapter "Create calculation procedure".
Activities
1. Assign a procedure for tax calculation to every country with which your company has business dealings.
2. Make sure that the corresponding data for calculating taxes is stored for each calculation procedure which you enter here.
Check and Change Settings for Tax Processing
In this activity you make the necessary specifications for posting taxes. In doing this you specify under a process key the following indicators:
· Tax type
Output tax, input tax, additional taxes, or "not tax-relevant" can be specified as the tax type.
· Nondeductibility of tax amounts
For this, tax amounts are marked as not deductible.
· Posting indicator
Here you specify whether the tax amount is posted separately or distributed to expense or revenue items.
· Tax not relevant to cash discount (Not discount relevant)
This indicator is set only for Canada. If you select it, the system does not take into account the corresponding tax amount when determining the tax base.
Standard settings
Process keys with the most important characteristics for tax amounts have already been set in the standard SAP system.
Recommendation
Do not change the standard settings. Check whether you can use these process keys for your company, making changes only if necessary.
Activities
If you cannot use the standard settings, use new process keys and enter them in your calculation procedure. Do not change the standard SAP process keys.
Note
You must make enhancements to the standard settings if you want to specify a new account key in the "Create calculation procedure" activity. You must create and maintain this key beforehand in the "Settings for tax processing" activity.
Internal processing key
The internal processing keys are used by the system to determine accounts or posting keys for line items which are created automatically.
The processing keys are defined in the system and cannot be changed by the user.
Definition: posting key
Financial Accounting (FI)
A two-digit numerical key that determines the way line items are posted.
This key determines several factors including the:
· Account type
· Type of posting (debit or credit)
· Layout of entry screens
Return ->
Definition: posting_key
Maintain Excise Registrations
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the data relating to your excise registrations.
Activities
Enter each of your excise registrations, specifying a four-character code for each.
Definition: excise registration
Financial Accounting (FI)
An entity in India that is entitled by law to produce any goods liable to excise.
Each entity is assigned its own excise registration number.
Every factory that manufactures excisable goods is required to register separately, so that a business with seven factories requires seven registrations.
Return ->
Definition: excise registration
Maintain Company Code Settings
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the data relating to your company codes.
Maintain Plant Settings
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain excise information relating to your plants.
Maintain Excise Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you define your excise groups. For each excise group, you can also control how various excise invoice transactions will work.
Definition: excise group
Financial Accounting (FI)
A unit within an excise registration, in India, which keeps its own set of excise records.
Whereas the excise registration reports to the excise authorities, the excise group is a purely internal organizational unit. Each excise group keeps records of all transactions that have to be reported to the excise authorities. When the time comes to present these records to the authorities, the excise registration compiles the information from all of its excise groups.
Return ->
Definition: excise group
Maintain Series Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you define the different excise series groups within your company. Series groups allow you to maintain multiple number ranges for the outgoing excise documents.
Based on excise regulations and exemptions from the authorities you can maintain multiple number series for outgoing documents. But each of these series has to be declared to the excise authorities.
Activities
· Define excise series groups based on type of outgoing document
· Assign series group to excise registration ID
· If no financial postings are required for an Excise invoice in this seris group then you tick the 'No utilization' indicator.
· If the CENVAT has to be paid immediately and you need not wait for the Fort nightly payment then mark the 'Immediate Utilization' indicator.
Example
You could define two series groups, group 001 for excise invoices, and group 002 for 57 F4 documents.
Maintain Excise Duty Indicators
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the excise duty indicators.
Maintain Postal Addresses
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the addresses of various customs and excise organizations that your company deals with.
You use these addresses in the ARE Documents functions. When you create an ARE-1 or ARE-3, you enter the address of the excise department and the customs department involved in the export process. The system then prints their names and addresses on the AREs.
You can then define a default local excise department for each excise group and a default customs department for each series group.
Definition: ARE-1 document
Logistics - General (LO)
A form, in India, that companies have to fill out when they remove excisable goods from their manufacturing plants for export.
The form exempts them from paying excise duty when they remove the goods from their premises.
Return ->
Definition: ARE-1 document
Definition: ARE-3 document
Logistics - General (LO)
A form, in India, that allows companies to sell otherwise excisable goods from their premises without paying basic excise duty. The buyer of the goods must be in possession of a deemed export license.
The ARE-3 states what goods are being removed and which deemed excise license covers it.
Return ->
Definition: ARE-3 document
Maintain Subtransaction Type with Text
Sub Transaction Type
Sub transaction type is used for multiple purposes
Subcontracting:
It determines the subcontracting attributes and determines the accounts for the posting while doing a sub contracting transaction.
Excise removals
Sub transaction type is also used for determining the accounts while doing excise removals.
With in CIN the account determination is based on the transaction type. So normally you can have a single set of accounts for Excise utilization. In case you need alternate account determination for handling various scenarios you can define sub transaction types. The sub transaction types and corresponding account assignments needs to be maintained in CIN customization
Select Tax Calculation Procedure
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which tax procedure you want to use for determining excise duties and sales taxes on input materials in India.
· If you use condition-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINN.
· If you use formula-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINJ.
This tax procedure also supports condition-based excise determination, so that you can work with both concurrently.
We strongly recommend that new customers use condition-based excise determination. Note that once you have started using a tax procedure, you cannot switch to another one, otherwise you will not be able to display old documents.
Definition: condition-based excise determination
Logistics - General (LO
A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
This method requires you to create condition records for each combination of vendor or customer and material (and possibly other conditions).
When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. The tax procedure finds all of the condition records that you have created for that combination of vendor and material.
When you create a sales document, the excise duties and sales taxes are determined by the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
Return ->
Definition: condition-based excise determination
Definition: formula-based excise determination
Logistics - General (LO)
A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
This method was used in the Country Version India Add-On and requires you to maintain additional data in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction, J1ID.
When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. Each of the excise duties in the tax procedure has its own condition types, and each condition type is assigned to a formula. This formula instructs the system to calculate the excise duty using the data that you have maintained in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction.
When you create a sales document, the system determines the excise duties and sales taxes using the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
Return ->
Definition: formula-based excise determination
Maintain Excise Defaults
Use
In this IMG activity, you define which tax procedure and pricing condition types are used in calculating excise taxes using formula-based excise determination.
Activities
If you use condition-based excise determination, fill out the CVD cond. field and leave all the others blank.
If you use formula-based excise determination, fill out all of the fields as follows:
· Enter the tax procedure and the pricing conditions that are relevant for excise tax processing.
· Specify the purchasing and sales conditions types used for basic excise duty, additional excise duty, special excise duty, and cess.
· Specify the conditions in the sales order that are used for excise rates.
· Specify the countervailing duty condition type used for import purchase orders.

See also
SAP Library -> Logistics -> Country Versions -> Asia-Pacific -> India -> Materials Management (MM) -> Condition-Based Excise Deter
Sales Tax Code
The tax code represents a tax category which must be taken into consideration when making a tax return to the tax authorities.
Tax codes are unique per country. The tax rate calculation rules and further features are stored in a table for each tax code.
Procedure
For tax-exempt or non-taxable transactions, you should use tax codes with a 0 percentage rate if the corresponding transactions are to be displayed in the tax returns.
Note
You must define new tax codes if tax rates are changed by the state. The old codes with the old tax rates must remain in the system until no more open items which use this tax code exist.
Definition: tax code
Financial Accounting (FI)
A two-digit code that represents the specifications used for calculating and displaying tax.
Examples of the specifications defined under the tax code are:

Assign Tax Code to Company Codes
Use
In this IMG activity, assign the tax code for purchasing documents to the company codes where it will be used.
Only carry out this activity if you use condition-based excise determination.
See also
SAP Library -> Logistics -> Country Versions -> Asia-Pacific -> India -> Materials Management (MM) -> Condition-Based Excise Determination
Classify Condition Types
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which condition types you use for which sort of tax. Note that this only applies to condition types that you use with the new excise determination method.
The system uses this information when you create a document from another one. For example, when you enter an incoming excise invoice from a purchase order, or when you create an outgoing excise invoice from a sales order, the system determines the various excise duties in the excise invoice using the information that you have entered here.
In addition, when you create a purchasing document, the system only uses the condition types that you enter here.
· For taxes on purchases, use the condition types contained in the tax procedure.
· For taxes on sales, use the condition types contained in the pricing procedures.
Standard settings
The standard system comes with sample settings for the tax calculation procedures and pricing procedures.
Use these settings as a basis for your own.
Maintain Chapter IDs
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the chapter IDs and the corresponding descriptions as per the schedules published by the Central Board of Excise and Customs.
Definition: chapter ID
Logistics - General (LO)
The number given to a material in the schedules of materials published by the government of India.
The schedule lists all materials involved in manufacturing, input materials and output materials alike. It shows how much excise duty is levied on each material.
Each material in the schedule is assigned its own identification code, called "chapter ID."
Example
The schedule contains an entry for ceramic roofing tiles, which are liable to basic excise duty at 16%. The chapter ID associated with these tiles is 6903.10.
Return ->
Definition: chapter ID
Assign Users to Material Master Screen Sequence for Excise D

If you use subtransaction types, enter the accounts for each subtransaction type as well.
Activities
Transaction type UTLZ is used for determining accounts only while posting excise JVs and also if the payment of excise duty has to be done fortnightly.
The fortnightly CENVAT payment utility picks up the credit side accounts from the transaction types of GRPO, EWPO, and TR6C for determining the CENVAT and PLA accounts. There is no separate transaction type for fortnightly payment.
Example
Excise TT DC ind Account name
GRPO CR CENVAT clearing account
GRPO CR RG 23 BED account
GRPO DR CENVAT on hold account
Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts.
When you come to execute the various transactions, the system determines which G/L accounts to post to by looking at the:
· Excise group
· Company code
· Chart of accounts
Furthermore, if you want separate account determination settings within an excise group, you can also use sub transaction types.
Requirements
You have already:
· Defined the G/L accounts
· Defined the excise groups
· Maintained the transaction accounts
Activities
For each excise group, assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts. For most businesses, one set of accounts will suffice for alltransactions.
Note
You need not remit the CENVAT to the excise department immediately, so maintain the credit account for transaction type DLFC as an excise duty interim account. This will be set off when you remit the duty.
Define Processing Modes Per Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which processing modes the user can use in the various Incoming Excise Invoice transactions.
This way, you can tailor the transaction to what your users have to do.
Standard settings
The system comes with three standard transactions relating to the Incoming Excise Invoices function (those that are included in the role SAP_CIN). The processing modes available in these transactions are as follows:
· J1IEX_C
This transaction is for excise clerks: users of this transaction can only capture and display excise invoices.
· J1IEX_P
This transaction is for excise supervisors: they can change, display, cancel, and post excise invoices.
· J1IEX
In this transaction, users can capture and post excise invoices, as well as displaying, changing, and canceling them.
Activities
If the standard settings meet your requirements, do not do anything.
Otherwise, you can adjust the standard settings or you can create your own transactions. To do so:
1. In Maintain Transaction, create a new transaction by making a copy of one of the standard transactions. Give the new transaction a transaction code of your choice.
2. In this activity, enter data as follows:
o Tcode: The transaction code that you have just created.
o Proc. mode: Specify what the users of the transaction will do with the excise invoices.
o Active: Select this indicator to activate the setting.
Example
You might want to create a transaction that only allows users to display excise invoices.
Define Reference Documents Per Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify for each combination of transaction and processing mode which reference documents you want the users to be able to use.
Activities
If the standard settings meet your requirements, you do not have to do anything.
Otherwise, add the entries that you need to the table: For each transaction, make one entry per combination of processing mode and reference document. Activate each entry for it to work.
Definition: excise invoice reference document
Logistics - General (LO)
A document, in India, that you refer to when you enter an incoming excise invoice.
If you have already posted the goods receipt, you can use the goods receipt document as the reference document. Otherwise, you can use the purchase order (or another purchasing document, such as a be a contract or a scheduling agreement).
Example
In the SAP System, you create a purchase order for 100 bags of sand and send the order to your vendor. Two weeks later, the vendor delivers the sand, accompanied by an excise invoice.
When you enter the excise invoice in the system, you specify the number of the original purchase order: this is the reference document.
Return ->
Definition: excise invoice reference document
Maintain Rejection Codes
Use
In this IMG activity, you define the rejection codes that are used in the Incoming Excise Invoices transaction.
Activities
For each rejection code, enter a code and a description. You can also specify whether the excise duty in the invoice is to be posted to the CENVAT on hold account, instead of the CENVAT clearing account.
Specify Which Movement Types Involve Excise InvoicesUse
In this IMG activity, you specify which movement types relating to goods receipts involve excise invoices.
The system uses this information during the goods receipt procedure. When you post a goods receipt using one of the moevement types that you have specified here, the system prompts you to enter the excise invoice number.
Note
This option cannot be used for processing goods receipts without purchase orders.
Maintain Default Excise Groups and Series Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which excise group and series group you want to appear in these fields by default. You can make separate settings for different combinations of sales organization, distribution channel, division, and shipping point.
Activities
This activity is optional, unless you want the system to automatically create outgoing excise invoices when you create a customer invoice.
In this case, you must also make the appropriate setting in Customizing for Excise Duty, by choosing Basic Subcontracting Attributes
Use
The subcontracting attributes help determine conditions for a combination of an excise group, a transaction type, and a subtransaction type.
The conditions such as the number of excise items per subcontracting challan, if the nonexciseable materials have to be filtered or not when the subcontracting challan is created, the movement type groups for issues and receipts and the hierarchy of determining the excise base value are mentioned here.
Requirements
Before you continue with this activity, work through the following activities:
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Goods Issue / Transfer Postings -> Define Screen Layout.
For the movement type 541, maintain the field Purchase Order as an optional entry or as a required entry.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Maintain OutputTypes.
Maintain the output type. On the Default Values tab, maintain the dispatch time and the transmission medium. Maintain the print parameter on the Print tab. This output type has to be maintained in this activity here.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Assign Forms andPrograms.
Maintain the Program, FORM routine, and the form for the output type.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Printer Determination -> Printer Determination by Plant / Storage Location.
Enter the output device that you use.
Settings -> Maintain Excise Groups, and selecting Create EI (Create Excise Invoice Automatically).
Maintain Movement Type Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you group movement types together to form movement type groups.
Definition: movement type
Inventory Management (MM-IM)
A classification key indicating the type of material movement (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, physical stock transfer).
The movement type enables the system to find predefined posting rules determining how the accounts of the financial accounting system (stock and consumption accounts) are to be posted and how the stock fields in the material master record are to be updated.
Return ->
Definition: movement type
Utilization Determination
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which CENVAT accounts are to be debited by the Fortnight Utilization of CENVAT report: When the report calculates how much excise duty you must remit, it automatically proposes which CENVAT accounts the duty should be debited to. Here, you specify those defaults.
You can either:
· Debit all the excise duty to one account
· Debit the excise duty to more than one account, in which case you specify which percentage is to be debited to each account
Example
If you want 50% of basic excise duty (BED) to be debited to the RG 23A account and the remaining 50% to the RG 23C account, you would make the following settings:
Acct name BED perc.
RG 23A BED account 50
RG 23C BED account 50
Alternatively, to debit all of the BED to the RG 23A account, and then RG 23C account, if there is not enough in the RG 23A account, you would make the following settings:
Acct name BED perc. +
RG 23A BED account X
RG 23C BED account X
When you come to run the report, the system takes the RG 23A account because it is the first one you have entered. If this account does not cover the BED, the system takes the RG 23C account instead.
Maintain Minimum Balances for Excise Accounts
Use
In this IMG activity, you can maintain minimum balances in your excise accounts. When the balance in these accounts during utilization falls below this level, the system automatically utilizes funds in the PLA account.
Activities
Maintain the minimum balance amount for the excise accounts. If you have more than one excise group, you can maintain different minimum balances.
Specify SAPscript Forms
Use
In this IMG activity, for each of your company codes, you specify which SAPscript forms the system prints the excise registers with.
Standard settings
Country Version India includes a number of sample SAPscript forms and printing programs, which you can use as follows:
Reg. name Lay. no. Form Tcode/Prog
RG 23A Part I 1 J_2IRG23A_PART1 J_2IRAP1
RG 23C Part I 1 J_2IRG23C_PART1 J_2IRCP1
RG 23A Part II 1 J_2IRG23A_PART2 J_2IRAP2
RG 23C Part II 1 J_2IRG23C_PART2 J_2IRCP2

Dear all,
what are the steps are involved to activate excise capture and posting at T Code : MIGO.
Rgs
mrsHi,
Before going to capture excise invoice ,you need to configure all the cin configurations .
here is the cin configuration..
Check Calculation Procedure
In this activity, you can check and, if necessary, change existing procedures for tax calculation.
Standard settings
Calculation procedures containing the necessary specifications for the calculation and posting of taxes on sales/purchases have already been defined in the standard SAP system for certain countries. Every calculation procedure groups several tax types together into a condition type (for example, output tax or input tax) in the calculation procedure, and determines calculation rules for it.
The calculation procedure determines for which amount the individual condition types are to be calculated. This can be the base amount (total of the expense items and the revenue items) or a subtotal. The entry in column FrmLvl, determines for which amount tax is calculated.
Note
In this activity, the condition types for the check and the possible change provided in the standard system are also displayed. Here, for example, the condition calculation rule, or for which base amount the tax is calculated is determined (= condition type).
Recommendation
If possible, do not change the condition types and calculation procedures provided in the standard system. Only check the standard condition types and calculation procedures regarding whether you can use them for your requirements. If necessary, make changes.
Activities
If you cannot use the standard settings, change the condition types and calculation procedures delivered to meet your requirements.
Procedure (pricing, output control, acct. det., costing,...)
Specifies the conditions that are allowed for a document and defines the sequence in which they are used.
Example
Procedures are used, for example, in the following applications:
· Pricing in sales and distribution
· Applying overhead in Product Costing (costing sheets) and for CO internal orders
· Calculating accrued costs in Profitability Analysis
· Output control (printed confirmations, EDI messages, electronic mail)
· Account determination
· Calculating taxes on sales/purchases
· Calculating accruals in Cost Center Accounting
· Pricing for resource planning
Definition: condition type
Controlling (CO)
A distinction, in overhead calculation, is made between:
· Base condition types, which determine the object for which the overhead is to be calculated
· Overhead condition types, which define the percentage overhead to be applied
In resource planning, a condition type determines the types of resource prices that are stored in the SAP System. These can be absolute or percentage values, for example.
Real Estate Management (RE)
An exact definition of a condition that specifies the amount paid for a specific service.
Condition types include:
· Basic rent
· Advance payment for operating costs
· Pest control
Sales and Distribution (SD)
A characteristic of a condition.
For example, in pricing, different condition types are used to distinguish between a discount that refers to a net price and a discount that refers to a gross price.
Treasury (TR)
A characteristic of a condition used to classify financial transactions.
Typical examples of condition types are interest, dividends, or full repayment upon maturity. The various parameters specified for the individual condition types determine how the flows are calculated in the cash flow.
Return ->
Definition: condition_type
Condition type
The condition type is used for different functions. In pricing, for example, the condition type lets you differentiate between different kinds of discount; in output determination, between different output types such as order confirmation or delivery note; in batch determination, between different strategy types.
Access sequence
With the access sequence you define
· the condition tables used to access the condition records
· the sequence of the condition tables
· which field contents are the criteria for reading the tables
Assign Country to Calculation Procedure
In this activity, you enter the key for the calculation procedure which determines the conditions which are allowed per document and which defines the sequence of the conditions in the document for each country.
Requirements
Each calculation procedure which you enter must contain the necessary specifications for calculating and posting the taxes on sales/purchases. For more information on this, read the chapter "Create calculation procedure".
Activities
1. Assign a procedure for tax calculation to every country with which your company has business dealings.
2. Make sure that the corresponding data for calculating taxes is stored for each calculation procedure which you enter here.
Check and Change Settings for Tax Processing
In this activity you make the necessary specifications for posting taxes. In doing this you specify under a process key the following indicators:
· Tax type
Output tax, input tax, additional taxes, or "not tax-relevant" can be specified as the tax type.
· Nondeductibility of tax amounts
For this, tax amounts are marked as not deductible.
· Posting indicator
Here you specify whether the tax amount is posted separately or distributed to expense or revenue items.
· Tax not relevant to cash discount (Not discount relevant)
This indicator is set only for Canada. If you select it, the system does not take into account the corresponding tax amount when determining the tax base.
Standard settings
Process keys with the most important characteristics for tax amounts have already been set in the standard SAP system.
Recommendation
Do not change the standard settings. Check whether you can use these process keys for your company, making changes only if necessary.
Activities
If you cannot use the standard settings, use new process keys and enter them in your calculation procedure. Do not change the standard SAP process keys.
Note
You must make enhancements to the standard settings if you want to specify a new account key in the "Create calculation procedure" activity. You must create and maintain this key beforehand in the "Settings for tax processing" activity.
Internal processing key
The internal processing keys are used by the system to determine accounts or posting keys for line items which are created automatically.
The processing keys are defined in the system and cannot be changed by the user.
Definition: posting key
Financial Accounting (FI)

In this IMG activity, you define your excise groups. For each excise group, you can also control how various excise invoice transactions will work.
Definition: excise group
Financial Accounting (FI)
A unit within an excise registration, in India, which keeps its own set of excise records.
Whereas the excise registration reports to the excise authorities, the excise group is a purely internal organizational unit. Each excise group keeps records of all transactions that have to be reported to the excise authorities. When the time comes to present these records to the authorities, the excise registration compiles the information from all of its excise groups.
Return ->
Definition: excise group
Maintain Series Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you define the different excise series groups within your company. Series groups allow you to maintain multiple number ranges for the outgoing excise documents.
Based on excise regulations and exemptions from the authorities you can maintain multiple number series for outgoing documents. But each of these series has to be declared to the excise authorities.
Activities
· Define excise series groups based on type of outgoing document
· Assign series group to excise registration ID
· If no financial postings are required for an Excise invoice in this seris group then you tick the 'No utilization' indicator.
· If the CENVAT has to be paid immediately and you need not wait for the Fort nightly payment then mark the 'Immediate Utilization' indicator.
Example
You could define two series groups, group 001 for excise invoices, and group 002 for 57 F4 documents.
Maintain Excise Duty Indicators
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the excise duty indicators.
Maintain Postal Addresses
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the addresses of various customs and excise organizations that your company deals with.
You use these addresses in the ARE Documents functions. When you create an ARE-1 or ARE-3, you enter the address of the excise department and the customs department involved in the export process. The system then prints their names and addresses on the AREs.
You can then define a default local excise department for each excise group and a default customs department for each series group.
Definition: ARE-1 document
Logistics - General (LO)
A form, in India, that companies have to fill out when they remove excisable goods from their manufacturing plants for export.
The form exempts them from paying excise duty when they remove the goods from their premises.
Return ->
Definition: ARE-1 document
Definition: ARE-3 document
Logistics - General (LO)
A form, in India, that allows companies to sell otherwise excisable goods from their premises without paying basic excise duty. The buyer of the goods must be in possession of a deemed export license.
The ARE-3 states what goods are being removed and which deemed excise license covers it.
Return ->
Definition: ARE-3 document
Maintain Subtransaction Type with Text
Sub Transaction Type
Sub transaction type is used for multiple purposes
Subcontracting:
It determines the subcontracting attributes and determines the accounts for the posting while doing a sub contracting transaction.
Excise removals
Sub transaction type is also used for determining the accounts while doing excise removals.
With in CIN the account determination is based on the transaction type. So normally you can have a single set of accounts for Excise utilization. In case you need alternate account determination for handling various scenarios you can define sub transaction types. The sub transaction types and corresponding account assignments needs to be maintained in CIN customization
Select Tax Calculation Procedure
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which tax procedure you want to use for determining excise duties and sales taxes on input materials in India.
· If you use condition-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINN.
· If you use formula-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINJ.
This tax procedure also supports condition-based excise determination, so that you can work with both concurrently.
We strongly recommend that new customers use condition-based excise determination. Note that once you have started using a tax procedure, you cannot switch to another one, otherwise you will not be able to display old documents.
Definition: condition-based excise determination
Logistics - General (LO
A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
This method requires you to create condition records for each combination of vendor or customer and material (and possibly other conditions).
When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. The tax procedure finds all of the condition records that you have created for that combination of vendor and material.
When you create a sales document, the excise duties and sales taxes are determined by the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
Return ->
Definition: condition-based excise determination
Definition: formula-based excise determination
Logistics - General (LO)
A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
This method was used in the Country Version India Add-On and requires you to maintain additional data in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction, J1ID.
When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. Each of the excise duties in the tax procedure has its own condition types, and each condition type is assigned to a formula. This formula instructs the system to calculate the excise duty using the data that you have maintained in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction.
When you create a sales document, the system determines the excise duties and sales taxes using the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
Return ->
Definition: formula-based excise determination
Maintain Excise Defaults
Use
In this IMG activity, you define which tax procedure and pricing condition types are used in calculating excise taxes using formula-based excise determination.
Activities
If you use condition-based excise determination, fill out the CVD cond. field and leave all the others blank.
If you use formula-based excise determination, fill out all of the fields as follows:
· Enter the tax procedure and the pricing conditions that are relevant for excise tax processing.
· Specify the purchasing and sales conditions types used for basic excise duty, additional excise duty, special excise duty, and cess.
· Specify the conditions in the sales order that are used for excise rates.

Classify Condition Types
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which condition types you use for which sort of tax. Note that this only applies to condition types that you use with the new excise determination method.
The system uses this information when you create a document from another one. For example, when you enter an incoming excise invoice from a purchase order, or when you create an outgoing excise invoice from a sales order, the system determines the various excise duties in the excise invoice using the information that you have entered here.
In addition, when you create a purchasing document, the system only uses the condition types that you enter here.
· For taxes on purchases, use the condition types contained in the tax procedure.
· For taxes on sales, use the condition types contained in the pricing procedures.
Standard settings
The standard system comes with sample settings for the tax calculation procedures and pricing procedures.
Use these settings as a basis for your own.

Define G/L Accounts for Taxes
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which G/L accounts you will use to record which taxes.
Requirements
You have set up G/L accounts for each of the processing keys listed below.
Activities
Assign an account to each of the following posting keys. The accounts for VS1, VS2, and VS3 are used as clearing accounts during excise invoice verification.
· VS1 (basic excise duty)
· VS2 (additional excise duty)
· VS3 (special excise duty)
· VS5 (sales tax setoff)
· MWS (central sales tax)
· MW3 (local sales tax)
· ESA (service tax)
· ESE (service tax expense)
Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which excise accounts (for excise duty and CENVAT) are to be posted to for the various transaction types. Enter all the accounts that are affected by each transaction type.
If you use subtransaction types, enter the accounts for each subtransaction type as well.
Activities
Transaction type UTLZ is used for determining accounts only while posting excise JVs and also if the payment of excise duty has to be done fortnightly.
The fortnightly CENVAT payment utility picks up the credit side accounts from the transaction types of GRPO, EWPO, and TR6C for determining the CENVAT and PLA accounts. There is no separate transaction type for fortnightly payment.
Example
Excise TT DC ind Account name
GRPO CR CENVAT clearing account
GRPO CR RG 23 BED account
GRPO DR CENVAT on hold account
Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts.
When you come to execute the various transactions, the system determines which G/L accounts to post to by looking at the:
· Excise group
· Company code
· Chart of accounts
Furthermore, if you want separate account determination settings within an excise group, you can also use sub transaction types.
Requirements
You have already:
· Defined the G/L accounts
· Defined the excise groups
· Maintained the transaction accounts
Activities
For each excise group, assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts. For most businesses, one set of accounts will suffice for alltransactions.
Note
You need not remit the CENVAT to the excise department immediately, so maintain the credit account for transaction type DLFC as an excise duty interim account. This will be set off when you remit the duty.
Define Processing Modes Per Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which processing modes the user can use in the various Incoming Excise Invoice transactions.
This way, you can tailor the transaction to what your users have to do.
Standard settings
The system comes with three standard transactions relating to the Incoming Excise Invoices function (those that are included in the role SAP_CIN). The processing modes available in these transactions are as follows:
· J1IEX_C
This transaction is for excise clerks: users of this transaction can only capture and display excise invoices.
· J1IEX_P

In this IMG activity, you define the rejection codes that are used in the Incoming Excise Invoices transaction.
Activities
For each rejection code, enter a code and a description. You can also specify whether the excise duty in the invoice is to be posted to the CENVAT on hold account, instead of the CENVAT clearing account.
Specify Which Movement Types Involve Excise InvoicesUse
In this IMG activity, you specify which movement types relating to goods receipts involve excise invoices.
The system uses this information during the goods receipt procedure. When you post a goods receipt using one of the moevement types that you have specified here, the system prompts you to enter the excise invoice number.
Note
This option cannot be used for processing goods receipts without purchase orders.
Maintain Default Excise Groups and Series Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which excise group and series group you want to appear in these fields by default. You can make separate settings for different combinations of sales organization, distribution channel, division, and shipping point.
Activities
This activity is optional, unless you want the system to automatically create outgoing excise invoices when you create a customer invoice.
In this case, you must also make the appropriate setting in Customizing for Excise Duty, by choosing Basic Subcontracting Attributes
Use
The subcontracting attributes help determine conditions for a combination of an excise group, a transaction type, and a subtransaction type.
The conditions such as the number of excise items per subcontracting challan, if the nonexciseable materials have to be filtered or not when the subcontracting challan is created, the movement type groups for issues and receipts and the hierarchy of determining the excise base value are mentioned here.
Requirements
Before you continue with this activity, work through the following activities:
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Goods Issue / Transfer Postings -> Define Screen Layout.
For the movement type 541, maintain the field Purchase Order as an optional entry or as a required entry.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Maintain OutputTypes.

Definition: movement type
Utilization Determination
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which CENVAT accounts are to be debited by the Fortnight Utilization of CENVAT report: When the report calculates how much excise duty you must remit, it automatically proposes which CENVAT accounts the duty should be debited to. Here, you specify those defaults.
You can either:
· Debit all the excise duty to one account
· Debit the excise duty to more than one account, in which case you specify which percentage is to be debited to each account
Example
If you want 50% of basic excise duty (BED) to be debited to the RG 23A account and the remaining 50% to the RG 23C account, you would make the following settings:
Acct name BED perc.
RG 23A BED account 50
RG 23C BED account 50
Alternatively, to debit all of the BED to the RG 23A account, and then RG 23C account, if there is not enough in the RG 23A account, you would make the following settings:
Acct name BED perc. +
RG 23A BED account X
RG 23C BED account X
When you come to run the report, the system takes the RG 23A account because it is the first one you have entered. If this account does not cover the BED, the system takes the RG 23C account instead.
Maintain Minimum Balances for Excise Accounts
Use
In this IMG activity, you can maintain minimum balances in your excise accounts. When the balance in these accounts during utilization falls below this level, the system automatically utilizes funds in the PLA account.
Activities
Maintain the minimum balance amount for the excise accounts. If you have more than one excise group, you can maintain different minimum balances.

Check Calculation Procedure
In this activity, you can check and, if necessary, change existing procedures for tax calculation.
Standard settings
Calculation procedures containing the necessary specifications for the calculation and posting of taxes on sales/purchases have already been defined in the standard SAP system for certain countries. Every calculation procedure groups several tax types together into a condition type (for example, output tax or input tax) in the calculation procedure, and determines calculation rules for it.
The calculation procedure determines for which amount the individual condition types are to be calculated. This can be the base amount (total of the expense items and the revenue items) or a subtotal. The entry in column FrmLvl, determines for which amount tax is calculated.
Note
In this activity, the condition types for the check and the possible change provided in the standard system are also displayed. Here, for example, the condition calculation rule, or for which base amount the tax is calculated is determined (= condition type).
Recommendation
If possible, do not change the condition types and calculation procedures provided in the standard system. Only check the standard condition types and calculation procedures regarding whether you can use them for your requirements. If necessary, make changes.
Activities
If you cannot use the standard settings, change the condition types and calculation procedures delivered to meet your requirements.
Procedure (pricing, output control, acct. det., costing,...)
Specifies the conditions that are allowed for a document and defines the sequence in which they are used.
Example
Procedures are used, for example, in the following applications:
· Pricing in sales and distribution
· Applying overhead in Product Costing (costing sheets) and for CO internal orders
· Calculating accrued costs in Profitability Analysis
· Output control (printed confirmations, EDI messages, electronic mail)
· Account determination
· Calculating taxes on sales/purchases
· Calculating accruals in Cost Center Accounting
· Pricing for resource planning
Definition: condition type
Controlling (CO)
A distinction, in overhead calculation, is made between:
· Base condition types, which determine the object for which the overhead is to be calculated
· Overhead condition types, which define the percentage overhead to be applied
In resource planning, a condition type determines the types of resource prices that are stored in the SAP System. These can be absolute or percentage values, for example.
Real Estate Management (RE)
An exact definition of a condition that specifies the amount paid for a specific service.
Condition types include:
· Basic rent
· Advance payment for operating costs
· Pest control
Sales and Distribution (SD)
A characteristic of a condition.
For example, in pricing, different condition types are used to distinguish between a discount that refers to a net price and a discount that refers to a gross price.
Treasury (TR)
A characteristic of a condition used to classify financial transactions.
Typical examples of condition types are interest, dividends, or full repayment upon maturity. The various parameters specified for the individual condition types determine how the flows are calculated in the cash flow.
Return ->
Definition: condition_type
Condition type
The condition type is used for different functions. In pricing, for example, the condition type lets you differentiate between different kinds of discount; in output determination, between different output types such as order confirmation or delivery note; in batch determination, between different strategy types.
Access sequence
With the access sequence you define
· the condition tables used to access the condition records
· the sequence of the condition tables
· which field contents are the criteria for reading the tables
Assign Country to Calculation Procedure
In this activity, you enter the key for the calculation procedure which determines the conditions which are allowed per document and which defines the sequence of the conditions in the document for each country.
Requirements
Each calculation procedure which you enter must contain the necessary specifications for calculating and posting the taxes on sales/purchases. For more information on this, read the chapter "Create calculation procedure".
Activities
1. Assign a procedure for tax calculation to every country with which your company has business dealings.
2. Make sure that the corresponding data for calculating taxes is stored for each calculation procedure which you enter here.
Check and Change Settings for Tax Processing
In this activity you make the necessary specifications for posting taxes. In doing this you specify under a process key the following indicators:
· Tax type
Output tax, input tax, additional taxes, or "not tax-relevant" can be specified as the tax type.
· Nondeductibility of tax amounts
For this, tax amounts are marked as not deductible.
· Posting indicator
Here you specify whether the tax amount is posted separately or distributed to expense or revenue items.
· Tax not relevant to cash discount (Not discount relevant)
This indicator is set only for Canada. If you select it, the system does not take into account the corresponding tax amount when determining the tax base.
Standard settings
Process keys with the most important characteristics for tax amounts have already been set in the standard SAP system.
Recommendation
Do not change the standard settings. Check whether you can use these process keys for your company, making changes only if necessary.
Activities
If you cannot use the standard settings, use new process keys and enter them in your calculation procedure. Do not change the standard SAP process keys.
Note
You must make enhancements to the standard settings if you want to specify a new account key in the "Create calculation procedure" activity. You must create and maintain this key beforehand in the "Settings for tax processing" activity.

Definition: excise group
Financial Accounting (FI)
A unit within an excise registration, in India, which keeps its own set of excise records.
Whereas the excise registration reports to the excise authorities, the excise group is a purely internal organizational unit. Each excise group keeps records of all transactions that have to be reported to the excise authorities. When the time comes to present these records to the authorities, the excise registration compiles the information from all of its excise groups.
Return ->
Definition: excise group
Maintain Series Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you define the different excise series groups within your company. Series groups allow you to maintain multiple number ranges for the outgoing excise documents.
Based on excise regulations and exemptions from the authorities you can maintain multiple number series for outgoing documents. But each of these series has to be declared to the excise authorities.
Activities
· Define excise series groups based on type of outgoing document
· Assign series group to excise registration ID
· If no financial postings are required for an Excise invoice in this seris group then you tick the 'No utilization' indicator.
· If the CENVAT has to be paid immediately and you need not wait for the Fort nightly payment then mark the 'Immediate Utilization' indicator.
Example
You could define two series groups, group 001 for excise invoices, and group 002 for 57 F4 documents.
Maintain Excise Duty Indicators
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the excise duty indicators.
Maintain Postal Addresses
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the addresses of various customs and excise organizations that your company deals with.
You use these addresses in the ARE Documents functions. When you create an ARE-1 or ARE-3, you enter the address of the excise department and the customs department involved in the export process. The system then prints their names and addresses on the AREs.
You can then define a default local excise department for each excise group and a default customs department for each series group.
Definition: ARE-1 document

Definition: ARE-3 document
Logistics - General (LO)
A form, in India, that allows companies to sell otherwise excisable goods from their premises without paying basic excise duty. The buyer of the goods must be in possession of a deemed export license.
The ARE-3 states what goods are being removed and which deemed excise license covers it.
Return ->
Definition: ARE-3 document
Maintain Subtransaction Type with Text
Sub Transaction Type
Sub transaction type is used for multiple purposes
Subcontracting:
It determines the subcontracting attributes and determines the accounts for the posting while doing a sub contracting transaction.
Excise removals
Sub transaction type is also used for determining the accounts while doing excise removals.
With in CIN the account determination is based on the transaction type. So normally you can have a single set of accounts for Excise utilization. In case you need alternate account determination for handling various scenarios you can define sub transaction types. The sub transaction types and corresponding account assignments needs to be maintained in CIN customization
Select Tax Calculation Procedure
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which tax procedure you want to use for determining excise duties and sales taxes on input materials in India.
· If you use condition-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINN.
· If you use formula-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINJ.
This tax procedure also supports condition-based excise determination, so that you can work with both concurrently.
We strongly recommend that new customers use condition-based excise determination. Note that once you have started using a tax procedure, you cannot switch to another one, otherwise you will not be able to display old documents.
Definition: condition-based excise determination
Logistics - General (LO
A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
This method requires you to create condition records for each combination of vendor or customer and material (and possibly other conditions).
When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. The tax procedure finds all of the condition records that you have created for that combination of vendor and material.
When you create a sales document, the excise duties and sales taxes are determined by the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
Return ->
Definition: condition-based excise determination
Definition: formula-based excise determination
Logistics - General (LO)
A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
This method was used in the Country Version India Add-On and requires you to maintain additional data in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction, J1ID.
When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. Each of the excise duties in the tax procedure has its own condition types, and each condition type is assigned to a formula. This formula instructs the system to calculate the excise duty using the data that you have maintained in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction.
When you create a sales document, the system determines the excise duties and sales taxes using the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
Return ->
Definition: formula-based excise determination
Maintain Excise Defaults
Use
In this IMG activity, you define which tax procedure and pricing condition types are used in calculating excise taxes using formula-based excise determination.

Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which excise accounts (for excise duty and CENVAT) are to be posted to for the various transaction types. Enter all the accounts that are affected by each transaction type.
If you use subtransaction types, enter the accounts for each subtransaction type as well.
Activities
Transaction type UTLZ is used for determining accounts only while posting excise JVs and also if the payment of excise duty has to be done fortnightly.
The fortnightly CENVAT payment utility picks up the credit side accounts from the transaction types of GRPO, EWPO, and TR6C for determining the CENVAT and PLA accounts. There is no separate transaction type for fortnightly payment.
Example
Excise TT DC ind Account name
GRPO CR CENVAT clearing account
GRPO CR RG 23 BED account
GRPO DR CENVAT on hold account
Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts.
When you come to execute the various transactions, the system determines which G/L accounts to post to by looking at the:
· Excise group
· Company code
· Chart of accounts
Furthermore, if you want separate account determination settings within an excise group, you can also use sub transaction types.
Requirements
You have already:
· Defined the G/L accounts
· Defined the excise groups
· Maintained the transaction accounts
Activities
For each excise group, assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts. For most businesses, one set of accounts will suffice for alltransactions.
Note
You need not remit the CENVAT to the excise department immediately, so maintain the credit account for transaction type DLFC as an excise duty interim account. This will be set off when you remit the duty.
Define Processing Modes Per Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which processing modes the user can use in the various Incoming Excise Invoice transactions.
This way, you can tailor the transaction to what your users have to do.
Standard settings
The system comes with three standard transactions relating to the Incoming Excise Invoices function (those that are included in the role SAP_CIN). The processing modes available in these transactions are as follows:
· J1IEX_C
This transaction is for excise clerks: users of this transaction can only capture and display excise invoices.
· J1IEX_P
This transaction is for excise supervisors: they can change, display, cancel, and post excise invoices.
· J1IEX
In this transaction, users can capture and post excise invoices, as well as displaying, changing, and canceling them.
Activities
If the standard settings meet your requirements, do not do anything.
Otherwise, you can adjust the standard settings or you can create your own transactions. To do so:
1. In Maintain Transaction, create a new transaction by making a copy of one of the standard transactions. Give the new transaction a transaction code of your choice.
2. In this activity, enter data as follows:
o Tcode: The transaction code that you have just created.
o Proc. mode: Specify what the users of the transaction will do with the excise invoices.
o Active: Select this indicator to activate the setting.
Example
You might want to create a transaction that only allows users to display excise invoices.
Define Reference Documents Per Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify for each combination of transaction and processing mode which reference documents you want the users to be able to use.
Activities
If the standard settings meet your requirements, you do not have to do anything.
Otherwise, add the entries that you need to the table: For each transaction, make one entry per combination of processing mode and reference document. Activate each entry for it to work.
Definition: excise invoice reference document
Logistics - General (LO)
A document, in India, that you refer to when you enter an incoming excise invoice.
If you have already posted the goods receipt, you can use the goods receipt document as the reference document. Otherwise, you can use the purchase order (or another purchasing document, such as a be a contract or a scheduling agreement).
Example
In the SAP System, you create a purchase order for 100 bags of sand and send the order to your vendor. Two weeks later, the vendor delivers the sand, accompanied by an excise invoice.
When you enter the excise invoice in the system, you specify the number of the original purchase order: this is the reference document.
Return ->
Definition: excise invoice reference document
Maintain Rejection Codes
Use
In this IMG activity, you define the rejection codes that are used in the Incoming Excise Invoices transaction.
Activities
For each rejection code, enter a code and a description. You can also specify whether the excise duty in the invoice is to be posted to the CENVAT on hold account, instead of the CENVAT clearing account.
Specify Which Movement Types Involve Excise InvoicesUse
In this IMG activity, you specify which movement types relating to goods receipts involve excise invoices.
The system uses this information during the goods receipt procedure. When you post a goods receipt using one of the moevement types that you have specified here, the system prompts you to enter the excise invoice number.
Note
This option cannot be used for processing goods receipts without purchase orders.
Maintain Default Excise Groups and Series Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which excise group and series group you want to appear in these fields by default. You can make separate settings for different combinations of sales organization, distribution channel, division, and shipping point.
Activities
This activity is optional, unless you want the system to automatically create outgoing excise invoices when you create a customer invoice.
In this case, you must also make the appropriate setting in Customizing for Excise Duty, by choosing Basic Subcontracting Attributes
Use
The subcontracting attributes help determine conditions for a combination of an excise group, a transaction type, and a subtransaction type.
The conditions such as the number of excise items per subcontracting challan, if the nonexciseable materials have to be filtered or not when the subcontracting challan is created, the movement type groups for issues and receipts and the hierarchy of determining the excise base value are mentioned here.
Requirements
Before you continue with this activity, work through the following activities:
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Goods Issue / Transfer Postings -> Define Screen Layout.
For the movement type 541, maintain the field Purchase Order as an optional entry or as a required entry.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Maintain OutputTypes.
Maintain the output type. On the Default Values tab, maintain the dispatch time and the transmission medium. Maintain the print parameter on the Print tab. This output type has to be maintained in this activity here.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Assign Forms andPrograms.
Maintain the Program, FORM routine, and the form for the output type.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Printer Determination -> Printer Determination by Plant / Storage Location.
Enter the output device that you use.
Settings -> Maintain Excise Groups, and selecting Create EI (Create Excise Invoice Automatically).
Maintain Movement Type Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you group movement types together to form movement type groups.
Definition: movement type
Inventory Management (MM-IM)
A classification key indicating the type of material movement (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, physical stock transfer).
The movement type enables the system to find predefined posting rules determining how the accounts of the financial accounting system (stock and consumption accounts) are to be posted and how the stock fields in the material master record are to be updated.
Return ->
Definition: movement type
Utilization Determination
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which CENVAT accounts are to be debited by the Fortnight Utilization of CENVAT report: When the report calculates how much excise duty you must remit, it automatically proposes which CENVAT accounts the duty should be debited to. Here, you specify those defaults.
You can either:
· Debit all the excise duty to one account
· Debit the excise duty to more than one account, in which case you specify which percentage is to be debited to each account
Example
If you want 50% of basic excise duty (BED) to be debited to the RG 23A account and the remaining 50% to the RG 23C account, you would make the following settings:
Acct name BED perc.
RG 23A BED account 50
RG 23C BED account 50
Alternatively, to debit all of the BED to the RG 23A account, and then RG 23C account, if there is not enough in the RG 23A account, you would make the following settings:
Acct name BED perc. +
RG 23A BED account X
RG 23C BED account X
When you come to run the report, the system takes the RG 23A account because it is the first one you have entered. If this account does not cover the BED, the system takes the RG 23C account instead.
Maintain Minimum Balances for Excise Accounts
Use
In this IMG activity, you can maintain minimum balances in your excise accounts. When the balance in these accounts during utilization falls below this level, the system automatically utilizes funds in the PLA account.
Activities
Maintain the minimum balance amount for the excise accounts. If you have more than one excise group, you can maintain different minimum balances.
Specify SAPscript Forms
Use
In this IMG activity, for each of your company codes, you specify which SAPscript forms the system prints the excise registers with.

Check Calculation Procedure
In this activity, you can check and, if necessary, change existing procedures for tax calculation.
Standard settings
Calculation procedures containing the necessary specifications for the calculation and posting of taxes on sales/purchases have already been defined in the standard SAP system for certain countries. Every calculation procedure groups several tax types together into a condition type (for example, output tax or input tax) in the calculation procedure, and determines calculation rules for it.
The calculation procedure determines for which amount the individual condition types are to be calculated. This can be the base amount (total of the expense items and the revenue items) or a subtotal. The entry in column FrmLvl, determines for which amount tax is calculated.
Note
In this activity, the condition types for the check and the possible change provided in the standard system are also displayed. Here, for example, the condition calculation rule, or for which base amount the tax is calculated is determined (= condition type).
Recommendation
If possible, do not change the condition types and calculation procedures provided in the standard system. Only check the standard condition types and calculation procedures regarding whether you can use them for your requirements. If necessary, make changes.
Activities
If you cannot use the standard settings, change the condition types and calculation procedures delivered to meet your requirements.
Procedure (pricing, output control, acct. det., costing,...)Specifies the conditions that are allowed for a document and defines the sequence in which they are used.
Example
Procedures are used, for example, in the following applications:
· Pricing in sales and distribution
· Applying overhead in Product Costing (costing sheets) and for CO internal orders
· Calculating accrued costs in Profitability Analysis
· Output control (printed confirmations, EDI messages, electronic mail)
· Account determination
· Calculating taxes on sales/purchases
· Calculating accruals in Cost Center Accounting
· Pricing for resource planning
Definition: condition type
Controlling (CO)
A distinction, in overhead calculation, is made between:
· Base condition types, which determine the object for which the overhead is to be calculated
· Overhead condition types, which define the percentage overhead to be applied
In resource planning, a condition type determines the types of resource prices that are stored in the SAP System. These can be absolute or percentage values, for example.
Real Estate Management (RE)
An exact definition of a condition that specifies the amount paid for a specific service.
Condition types include:
· Basic rent
· Advance payment for operating costs
· Pest control
Sales and Distribution (SD)
A characteristic of a condition.
For example, in pricing, different condition types are used to distinguish between a discount that refers to a net price and a discount that refers to a gross price.
Treasury (TR)
A characteristic of a condition used to classify financial transactions.
Typical examples of condition types are interest, dividends, or full repayment upon maturity. The various parameters specified for the individual condition types determine how the flows are calculated in the cash flow.
Return ->
Definition: condition_type
Condition type
The condition type is used for different functions. In pricing, for example, the condition type lets you differentiate between different kinds of discount; in output determination, between different output types such as order confirmation or delivery note; in batch determination, between different strategy types.
Access sequence
With the access sequence you define
· the condition tables used to access the condition records
· the sequence of the condition tables
· which field contents are the criteria for reading the tables
Assign Country to Calculation Procedure
In this activity, you enter the key for the calculation procedure which determines the conditions which are allowed per document and which defines the sequence of the conditions in the document for each country.
Requirements
Each calculation procedure which you enter must contain the necessary specifications for calculating and posting the taxes on sales/purchases. For more information on this, read the chapter "Create calculation procedure".
Activities
1. Assign a procedure for tax calculation to every country with which your company has business dealings.
2. Make sure that the corresponding data for calculating taxes is stored for each calculation procedure which you enter here.
Check and Change Settings for Tax Processing
In this activity you make the necessary specifications for posting taxes. In doing this you specify under a process key the following indicators:
· Tax type
Output tax, input tax, additional taxes, or "not tax-relevant" can be specified as the tax type.
· Nondeductibility of tax amounts
For this, tax amounts are marked as not deductible.
· Posting indicator
Here you specify whether the tax amount is posted separately or distributed to expense or revenue items.
· Tax not relevant to cash discount (Not discount relevant)
This indicator is set only for Canada. If you select it, the system does not take into account the corresponding tax amount when determining the tax base.
Standard settings
Process keys with the most important characteristics for tax amounts have already been set in the standard SAP system.
Recommendation
Do not change the standard settings. Check whether you can use these process keys for your company, making changes only if necessary.
Activities
If you cannot use the standard settings, use new process keys and enter them in your calculation procedure. Do not change the standard SAP process keys.
Note
You must make enhancements to the standard settings if you want to specify a new account key in the "Create calculation procedure" activity. You must create and maintain this key beforehand in the "Settings for tax processing" activity.
Internal processing key
The internal processing keys are used by the system to determine accounts or posting keys for line items which are created automatically.
The processing keys are defined in the system and cannot be changed by the user.
Definition: posting key

Maintain Company Code Settings
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the data relating to your company codes.
Maintain Plant SettingsUse
In this IMG activity, you maintain excise information relating to your plants.
Maintain Excise Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you define your excise groups. For each excise group, you can also control how various excise invoice transactions will work.
Definition: excise groupFinancial Accounting (FI)
A unit within an excise registration, in India, which keeps its own set of excise records.
Whereas the excise registration reports to the excise authorities, the excise group is a purely internal organizational unit. Each excise group keeps records of all transactions that have to be reported to the excise authorities. When the time comes to present these records to the authorities, the excise registration compiles the information from all of its excise groups.
Return ->
Definition: excise group
Maintain Series GroupsUse
In this IMG activity, you define the different excise series groups within your company. Series groups allow you to maintain multiple number ranges for the outgoing excise documents.
Based on excise regulations and exemptions from the authorities you can maintain multiple number series for outgoing documents. But each of these series has to be declared to the excise authorities.
Activities
· Define excise series groups based on type of outgoing document
· Assign series group to excise registration ID
· If no financial postings are required for an Excise invoice in this seris group then you tick the 'No utilization' indicator.
· If the CENVAT has to be paid immediately and you need not wait for the Fort nightly payment then mark the 'Immediate Utilization' indicator.
Example
You could define two series groups, group 001 for excise invoices, and group 002 for 57 F4 documents.
Maintain Excise Duty Indicators
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the excise duty indicators.
Maintain Postal Addresses
Use
In this IMG activity, you maintain the addresses of various customs and excise organizations that your company deals with.
You use these addresses in the ARE Documents functions. When you create an ARE-1 or ARE-3, you enter the address of the excise department and the customs department involved in the export process. The system then prints their names and addresses on the AREs.
You can then define a default local excise department for each excise group and a default customs department for each series group.
Definition: ARE-1 document
Logistics - General (LO)
A form, in India, that companies have to fill out when they remove excisable goods from their manufacturing plants for export.
The form exempts them from paying excise duty when they remove the goods from their premises.
Return ->
Definition: ARE-1 document
Definition: ARE-3 document
Logistics - General (LO)
A form, in India, that allows companies to sell otherwise excisable goods from their premises without paying basic excise duty. The buyer of the goods must be in possession of a deemed export license.
The ARE-3 states what goods are being removed and which deemed excise license covers it.
Return ->
Definition: ARE-3 document
Maintain Subtransaction Type with Text
Sub Transaction Type
Sub transaction type is used for multiple purposes
Subcontracting:
It determines the subcontracting attributes and determines the accounts for the posting while doing a sub contracting transaction.
Excise removals
Sub transaction type is also used for determining the accounts while doing excise removals.
With in CIN the account determination is based on the transaction type. So normally you can have a single set of accounts for Excise utilization. In case you need alternate account determination for handling various scenarios you can define sub transaction types. The sub transaction types and corresponding account assignments needs to be maintained in CIN customization
Select Tax Calculation ProcedureUse
In this IMG activity, you specify which tax procedure you want to use for determining excise duties and sales taxes on input materials in India.
· If you use condition-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINN.
· If you use formula-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINJ.
This tax procedure also supports condition-based excise determination, so that you can work with both concurrently.
We strongly recommend that new customers use condition-based excise determination. Note that once you have started using a tax procedure, you cannot switch to another one, otherwise you will not be able to display old documents.
Definition: condition-based excise determination
Logistics - General (LO)
A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
This method requires you to create condition records for each combination of vendor or customer and material (and possibly other conditions).
When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. The tax procedure finds all of the condition records that you have created for that combination of vendor and material.
When you create a sales document, the excise duties and sales taxes are determined by the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
Return ->
Definition: condition-based excise determination
Definition: formula-based excise determination
Logistics - General (LO)
A method that the system uses of determining excise duty in India.
This method was used in the Country Version India Add-On and requires you to maintain additional data in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction, J1ID.
When you create a purchasing document, the system calls the tax procedure assigned to India. Each of the excise duties in the tax procedure has its own condition types, and each condition type is assigned to a formula. This formula instructs the system to calculate the excise duty using the data that you have maintained in the Excise Rate Maintenance transaction.
When you create a sales document, the system determines the excise duties and sales taxes using the pricing procedure (not the tax procedure).
Return ->
Definition: formula-based excise determination
Maintain Excise Defaults
Use
In this IMG activity, you define which tax procedure and pricing condition types are used in calculating excise taxes using formula-based excise determination.
Activities
If you use condition-based excise determination, fill out the CVD cond. field and leave all the others blank.
If you use formula-based excise determination, fill out all of the fields as follows:
· Enter the tax procedure and the pricing conditions that are relevant for excise tax processing.
· Specify the purchasing and sales conditions types used for basic excise duty, additional excise duty, special excise duty, and cess.
· Specify the conditions in the sales order that are used for excise rates.
· Specify the countervailing duty condition type used for import purchase orders.

Classify Condition Types
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which condition types you use for which sort of tax. Note that this only applies to condition types that you use with the new excise determination method.
The system uses this information when you create a document from another one. For example, when you enter an incoming excise invoice from a purchase order, or when you create an outgoing excise invoice from a sales order, the system determines the various excise duties in the excise invoice using the information that you have entered here.
In addition, when you create a purchasing document, the system only uses the condition types that you enter here.
· For taxes on purchases, use the condition types contained in the tax procedure.
· For taxes on sales, use the condition types contained in the pricing procedures.
Standard settings
The standard system comes with sample settings for the tax calculation procedures and pricing procedures.
Use these settings as a basis for your own.

Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which excise accounts (for excise duty and CENVAT) are to be posted to for the various transaction types. Enter all the accounts that are affected by each transaction type.
If you use subtransaction types, enter the accounts for each subtransaction type as well.
Activities
Transaction type UTLZ is used for determining accounts only while posting excise JVs and also if the payment of excise duty has to be done fortnightly.
The fortnightly CENVAT payment utility picks up the credit side accounts from the transaction types of GRPO, EWPO, and TR6C for determining the CENVAT and PLA accounts. There is no separate transaction type for fortnightly payment.
Example
Excise TT DC ind Account name
GRPO CR CENVAT clearing account
GRPO CR RG 23 BED account
GRPO DR CENVAT on hold account
Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts.
When you come to execute the various transactions, the system determines which G/L accounts to post to by looking at the:
· Excise group
· Company code
· Chart of accounts
Furthermore, if you want separate account determination settings within an excise group, you can also use sub transaction types.
Requirements
You have already:
· Defined the G/L accounts
· Defined the excise groups
· Maintained the transaction accounts
Activities
For each excise group, assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts. For most businesses, one set of accounts will suffice for alltransactions.
Note
You need not remit the CENVAT to the excise department immediately, so maintain the credit account for transaction type DLFC as an excise duty interim account. This will be set off when you remit the duty.
Define Processing Modes Per TransactionUse
In this IMG activity, you specify which processing modes the user can use in the various Incoming Excise Invoice transactions.
This way, you can tailor the transaction to what your users have to do.
Standard settings
The system comes with three standard transactions relating to the Incoming Excise Invoices function (those that are included in the role SAP_CIN). The processing modes available in these transactions are as follows:
· J1IEX_C
This transaction is for excise clerks: users of this transaction can only capture and display excise invoices.
· J1IEX_P
This transaction is for excise supervisors: they can change, display, cancel, and post excise invoices.
· J1IEX
In this transaction, users can capture and post excise invoices, as well as displaying, changing, and canceling them.
Activities
If the standard settings meet your requirements, do not do anything.
Otherwise, you can adjust the standard settings or you can create your own transactions. To do so:
1. In Maintain Transaction, create a new transaction by making a copy of one of the standard transactions. Give the new transaction a transaction code of your choice.
2. In this activity, enter data as follows:
o Tcode: The transaction code that you have just created.
o Proc. mode: Specify what the users of the transaction will do with the excise invoices.
o Active: Select this indicator to activate the setting.
Example
You might want to create a transaction that only allows users to display excise invoices.
Define Reference Documents Per Transaction
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify for each combination of transaction and processing mode which reference documents you want the users to be able to use.
Activities
If the standard settings meet your requirements, you do not have to do anything.
Otherwise, add the entries that you need to the table: For each transaction, make one entry per combination of processing mode and reference document. Activate each entry for it to work.
Definition: excise invoice reference document
Logistics - General (LO)

Maintain Rejection Codes
UseIn this IMG activity, you define the rejection codes that are used in the Incoming Excise Invoices transaction.
Activities
For each rejection code, enter a code and a description. You can also specify whether the excise duty in the invoice is to be posted to the CENVAT on hold account, instead of the CENVAT clearing account.
Specify Which Movement Types Involve Excise Invoices
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which movement types relating to goods receipts involve excise invoices.
The system uses this information during the goods receipt procedure. When you post a goods receipt using one of the moevement types that you have specified here, the system prompts you to enter the excise invoice number.
Note
This option cannot be used for processing goods receipts without purchase orders.
Maintain Default Excise Groups and Series Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you specify which excise group and series group you want to appear in these fields by default. You can make separate settings for different combinations of sales organization, distribution channel, division, and shipping point.
Activities
This activity is optional, unless you want the system to automatically create outgoing excise invoices when you create a customer invoice.
In this case, you must also make the appropriate setting in Customizing for Excise Duty, by choosing Basic Subcontracting Attributes
Use
The subcontracting attributes help determine conditions for a combination of an excise group, a transaction type, and a subtransaction type.
The conditions such as the number of excise items per subcontracting challan, if the nonexciseable materials have to be filtered or not when the subcontracting challan is created, the movement type groups for issues and receipts and the hierarchy of determining the excise base value are mentioned here.
Requirements
Before you continue with this activity, work through the following activities:
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Goods Issue / Transfer Postings -> Define Screen Layout.
For the movement type 541, maintain the field Purchase Order as an optional entry or as a required entry.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Maintain OutputTypes.
Maintain the output type. On the Default Values tab, maintain the dispatch time and the transmission medium. Maintain the print parameter on the Print tab. This output type has to be maintained in this activity here.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Assign Forms andPrograms.
Maintain the Program, FORM routine, and the form for the output type.
· Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Output Determination ->Printer Determination -> Printer Determination by Plant / Storage Location.
Enter the output device that you use.
Settings -> Maintain Excise Groups, and selecting Create EI (Create Excise Invoice Automatically).
Maintain Movement Type Groups
Use
In this IMG activity, you group movement types together to form movement type groups.
Definition: movement type
Inventory Management (MM-IM)
A classification key indicating the type of material movement (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, physical stock transfer).
The movement type enables the system to find predefined posting rules determining how the accounts of the financial accounting system (stock and consumption accounts) are to be posted and how the stock fields in the material master record are to be updated.
Return ->
Definition: movement type Utilization DeterminationUse
In this IMG activity, you specify which CENVAT accounts are to be debited by the Fortnight Utilization of CENVAT report: When the report calculates how much excise duty you must remit, it automatically proposes which CENVAT accounts the duty should be debited to. Here, you specify those defaults.
You can either:
· Debit all the excise duty to one account
· Debit the excise duty to more than one account, in which case you specify which percentage is to be debited to each account
Example
If you want 50% of basic excise duty (BED) to be debited to the RG 23A account and the remaining 50% to the RG 23C account, you would make the following settings:
Acct name BED perc.
RG 23A BED account 50
RG 23C BED account 50
Alternatively, to debit all of the BED to the RG 23A account, and then RG 23C account, if there is not enough in the RG 23A account, you would make the following settings:
Acct name BED perc. +
RG 23A BED account X
RG 23C BED account X
When you come to run the report, the system takes the RG 23A account because it is the first one you have entered. If this account does not cover the BED, the system takes the RG 23C account instead.
Maintain Minimum Balances for Excise Accounts
Use
In this IMG activity, you can maintain minimum balances in your excise accounts. When the balance in these accounts during utilization falls below this level, the system automatically utilizes funds in the PLA account.
Activities
Maintain the minimum balance amount for the excise accounts. If you have more than one excise group, you can maintain different minimum balances.
Specify SAPscript Forms
Use
In this IMG activity, for each of your company codes, you specify which SAPscript forms the system prints the excise registers with.
Standard settings
Country Version India includes a number of sample SAPscript forms and printing programs, which you can use as follows:
Reg. name Lay. no. Form Tcode/Prog
RG 23A Part I 1 J_2IRG23A_PART1 J_2IRAP1
RG 23C Part I 1 J_2IRG23C_PART1 J_2IRCP1
RG 23A Part II 1 J_2IRG23A_PART2 J_2IRAP2
RG 23C Part II 1 J_2IRG23C_PART2 J_2IRCP2
PLA 1 J_2I_PLA J_2IPLA
RG 23 D 1 J_2I_RG23D J_2IRG23
RG 1 1 J_2I_RG1 J_2IRRG1
RT 12 1 J_2I_RT12_ABSTRA J_2IRT12
RT 12 1 J_2I_RT12_ABSTRA J_2IRT12
RT 12 1 J_2I_RT12_3 J_2IRT12
The layout description can be left blank or an appropriate description maybe filled in. You may not change the register name. You can have your own layouts and maintain the name here. If the output device and number of copies are maintained it is automatically picked up for printing.
Number Ranges
You can maintain the number ranges for all CIN Number range objects using this transaction

How can MRP consider subcontractor stock?
hi friends,
i want to know if MRP can consider both in-house stock and subcontractor stock? i mean that when MRP running the available stock include both in-house stock and subcontractor stock.
for material A DepReq 100-
in-house stock 50
SubcSt 20
after MRP running , the plannde order quantity will be 30 ,not 50.
i appreciate for any help.
regards
JoeyMay I have mistaken your question,
You can see the details in the following help link, you may have to go for MRP area concept
Subcontracting
Use
In subcontracting, the vendor is provided with materials (components), which he uses to produce the finished product.
Integration
From the point of view of materials planning, subcontracting is initiated by the special procurement key Subcontracting. The special procurement key is allocated to the finished product or the assembly in the material master (MRP 2 view) (see also Procurement Type and Special Procurement Type).
In order to plan specific material requirements for each individual subcontractor, you can use MRP areas. You can thereby create an individual MRP area for every subcontractor (see Planning for Components to be Provided in Subcontracting).
You can find further information on subcontracting in the SAP document MM Inventory Management under Subcontracting.

Dear all,
I have doubts in creating subcontract service PO. Here is my scenario. I have a project going on which i hire subcontractors to perform the planned activities. Thus, i created on Service Purchase Order in ME21N and listed the activities performed.
1) I need to make an advance payment of 10%. How do i make an entry in SES to allow accounts make the advance payment?
2) Sometimes, there will be partial payments. And after the project is completed, there may be late penalty for example 5%. But after doing SES for the partial payments, i am not able to modify the PO pricing conditions since it has already done SES. How do i go about this problem?
Appreciate if anyone could help.
ThanksHi,
you can save invoices before GR documents when you set up your system according to the information from knowledge base article 1496165.
Regarding subcontracting in service PO item, please refer to note note 634395, question 1.

Can anyone please help me in dealing with subcontracting scenario with scrap taken into account. Please provide the screen shots from BOm creatio to challan closing. the requirement is urgent. please help me. all replies will be suitablly rewarded.
regards,
vvr sharmaSub Contracting Cycle
(1) You have a material that can be procured externally, and you have maintained BOM with components. Any waste generated and received during subcontracting process can be maintained as component with negative quantity.
(2) You create a subcontracting PO (PO with Item Category L). You can also maintain Purchase Info Record for Subcontract category for material and subcontractor.
(3) You make a transfer posting to issue components for SC PO. Material is sent to subcontractor. As material remains under your ownership, system does not make any value entry. But quantity is shown as "Material Provided to Vendor"
(4) You receive finished material against SC-PO. You also specify components consumed in manufacturing of finished goods. Additionally, if you have negative components in BOM, now you'll also receive subcontracting by-products. There are three events, so three accounting entries are generated:
DR FG Stock/ SC By-Product Stock
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(for finished goods received)
DR Subcontracting Charges
CR GR/IR Clg
(for moneys payable to Subcontractor)
DR Consumption (Components)
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(material provided to Vendor is now charged to expense)
(5) You do the IV for SC Invoice, and the process is complete.
Process of Subcontract in MM
Sub-contract business process:
You want to buy material from the supplier (processed material/ assembled item) , but for some reason (quality of certain item / price ) you will give some component to vendor .
Vendor shall process the item / use the item provided & supply the final item.
SAP process:
1.Create the finished goods material code.
2.Maintain the BOM for the material.
3.Create PO with item category as "L" .
4.Issue material to vendor with movement type 541
5.Receive the material against the PO with movement type 101.
6.MIRO to account for vendor's invoice for the service charge& material used by him.
Can anybody tell me how a process has to be given to subcontracting?
Suppose, I have 3 operations 1)weaving 2)dyeing 3)cutting & packing
if no 2 process (i.e Dyeing) has to be given to subcontracting, what process should i follow ?
The following process to be followed for subcontracting.
1. Item code(material master) to be created at the stage of before dyeing.
2. Item code(material master) to be created after Dyeing as subcontracted item.(F30)
3. Bill of material to becreated for the material(2) calling for material(1)
4. Inforecord and source list to be created for material(2) with the corresponding vendor
5. PO to be released for material (2)
6.Along with PO the material(1) to be issued to vendor
7.On receipt of material when GR is made the stock with vendor will get updated.
How to Create a Subcontract Order?
To create a subcontract order, proceed as follows:
Enter the material you want to order and the item category for subcontracting (L) in the order item.
Press ENTER to display the screen for component processing.
Enter the components that the vendor requires to manufacture the product.
Please note:
You do not need to enter the date required for the components. This date is proposed by the system when you press ENTER.
It is calculated as follows:
Delivery date of the item - Planned delivery time
If you do not want the quantity of the components to be changed if the order quantity of the end product is altered, set the indicator Fixed quantity (column F).
You can determine whether the components are available on the date required by selecting Edit -> Availability check.
If you entered a bill of material as the material in the subcontract order, the components are created automatically.
If you want to determine the components in the bill of material at a later date (for example, if the bill of material is subsequently changed), choose Item -> Component -> New BOM explosion. The existing components are deleted and redetermined in the bill of material.
Save the purchase order.
When you print the purchase order, the components are printed per order item
Subcontracting - Key Points
Special Procurement Process.
Item category: L
Order type: NB
In info record vendor should be maintained as subcontractor.
Vendor (Subcontractor) receives the components used to manufacture a finished product directly from your company or through third party.
Your company should place a purchase order for the finished product. In this manually you can enter the required individual components or it can be determined via the explosion of BOM (if exists).
Stock check at vendor level: ME2O
Company stock check: MMBE
GR for individual components through movement type: 501 or 561 (if with out PO or without reference).
GI to subcontracting vendor: through movement type 541.
GR from sub contracting vendor: through movement type: 101
Movement type 543 is displayed to cancel the material cost account.
If the subcontracting order has to be generated through materials planning,the special procurement key has to be set in MRP 2 screen.
- To create the Subcon Info Record : Tcode ME11 - Info Category - Click Subcontracting
- To create Material BOM : Tcode CS01
- With the Info and Material Setup, you can then create the Purchase Order in Tcode ME21N
Hope this is helpful.
Regards
Ravi
