Third Party Billing Plan Invoice problem
I have an issue in regards to using milestone billing with a third party order..
We currently use third party ordering to ship goods direct to our customers from our parent company in France. This process works well. I know have a scenario where our customer wishes to pay for goods in 2 installments . When they place their 3rd Party order they pay 50% of the total price up front then pay the remaining 50% plus an additional fee of 5% after 12 months. I have configured a new milestone billing plan for this scenario but I am unable to raise a billing document for the customer.
In the non billing plan scenario the document flow works as follows
Customer sales order raised - Automatic Purch Req - Purch order raised against parent company - Parent company ship to customer and bill us - vendor ivoice loaded against PO (MIRO) - Customer is billed via original sales order
The Billing plan scenario should work like this (but doesn't)
Customer sales order raised - Automatic Purch Req - Purch order raised against parent company - Customer Billed initial 50% - Parent company ship to customer and bill us - vendor ivoice loaded against PO (MIRO) - 12 months later Customer is billed via original sales order.
The issue I have is that the system cannot see an open billing quantity for the order even after the Vendor invoice has been loaded into the system against the purchase order.
Has anyone else had issues with this scenario and if so could they offer some advice on how to resolve
Many Thanks
Hi Mark,
This is expected in standard scenario.
In third party scenario, the billing relevance is either E or F in the item category.
If A, you can do invoice only for the quantity for which MIGO is done.
If F, you can do invoice only for teh quantity for which MIRO is done.
Your non-biling plan scenario is working fine, becos you are doing MIRO.
It is not workign in billing plan as you are not doing MIRO here.
So,
If you want to do partial billign in billign plan, you have to do MIRO for partial quantity and then do billing. In this case, only that part of teh invoice value will be used for creating the invoice.
However, I would suggest you to use someother item category for third party item with billing plan which doesnot have billign relevance as A or F, but has B or C. Then try doing billign as per billing plan. It will work.

Error in third party billing..!!!!!!
Hi Gurus,
I am having problem at the time of creating invoice with reference to order in third party billing process. I have done the following steps:
1) Create third party order
2) then with reference to PR created PO
3) MIGO
4) MIRO
5) at the time of creating invoice getting error item is not relevant for billing.
I tried lots of option but nothing is working fine. Please advice me the correct and exact reason with solution..
I am looking for your quick response..
Regards.
JsapHi,
There could be few reasons that is causing this error message.
Hope you have checked the following:
1. Check in the Log during Billing (VF01) and click on "+" to drill down into the reason why the Item is not relevant for billing. Usually the system will provide a diagnosis what is missing in the Billing transaction, hence providing you quick access to what you need to do to fix this error.
2. Go to VOV7, select your item category used in your transaction and ensure that you have maintained the required value for the field Billing Relevance. Though you may have set this up earlier, but check to see if it has been properly maintained.
Then go to VTFA, select your Sales Order Type and Billing Type and ensure that the relevant item category is maintained in this combination.
Hope the above helps.
Thanks. -
Third Party billing, stock in our possesion
Hello Guru's,
We will implement third party billing, but in our case the stock will be stored by us, not a third party company.
Also we will be purchasing the product and will be billed accordingly but... we will be billing on their behalf.
Don't ask me what is the reason at a user level, I guess it's a branding issue.
The point is, do you think what follows will be a good way to implement the slution?:
User's requirement:
We Store the product, we are billed for it, when we sell it it has to be billed on a different bill than any other regular products, on the bill it must show "billed on behalf of XXX company".
Solution:
We add a whole new sales circuit, with new sale document types: anyway the bill will only contain third party materials, it won't contain positions for our own products.
We restrict the third party product at a MM master records so it's not possible to make documents for own AND third party materials, even billing.
Advises? Ideas? Questions?
Do you think this is a good solution for the scenario, taking in account it will not be the regular third party sales process?
Thank you in advance my guru's!
Regards,
Lionel.Lionel
The moot point is ' Is it your company's sale?' and 'should this sale be counted into your company's income or not?'. I am guessing it is not (your income).
You are buying it, you are paying for it ( i am assuming because you said 'we are billed for it'), you are storing it and selling it, but only the invoice must show "billed on behalf of XXX company".
If it is not your company (code) income, then I suggest you handle it as Inter-company business. Add a co code, Sales area, plant for the comany on whose behalf you are billing. Let that company receive the order from customer with your plant as delivering plant , then you send the material to customer. Bill them for inter-company transaction and let them bill the ultimate customer. You can use condition type PI01 and make it as close to zero as possible to avoid any real charge to them for the material. Standard Intercompany Sales Processing .
As you rightly mentioned also need a material master data field like material group or status so that you don't sell this from your comapny.
If it is your income and you want just to indicate differently ( I doubt if it is legal), then you just use standard text to print " "billed on behalf of XXX company".
Hope this helps and others will pitch in too. -

Third Party Order Planning with SNP - Forecast not Consumed
Hallo SAP Gurus,
I have implemented the solution "Third Party Order Planning with SNP" created by Abhay Kapase in our SAP APO System - please see http://scn.sap.com/community/scm/apo/blog/2014/02/26/third-party-order-planning-with-snp.
But I have one problem that the forecast is not consumed.
I have done the following things:
1. I have activated the business Functions SCM_APO_DRS_PLAN in the APO System and LOG_MM_OM_2 in the ECC System.
2. I have done the customiznig in the ECC System: Created the schedule line category D1 and assigned it.
3. I have done the customizing in the APO System: Created the planning strategy 21.
4. I have created all the necessary master data in the APO and the ECC System
5. I have been created a customer order.
6. The purchase requisitionhas been transferred to the APO System. But the forecast is not consumed.
Can anybody help me.
Best Regards
DieterSomeone must know!
We have a similar requirement. We do have CRM but don't wish to implement it for this purpose.
In the SNP planning boook, we want to be able at the SNP vendor location to see the total requirement for both materials to be delivered to our normal supply chain as well as those directly delivered to customers. The direct delivery sales orders are entered to R3 according to the standard process; the purchase requisitions and PO's for these do not go to SNP. The customer location is set-up in SNP. Is there a way to make the purchase req's and orders visible in the SNP Planning Book???
Many thanks

How will i configure third party billing
how will i configure third party billing....
Customize the third party sales in summary:
1. Create Vendor XK01
2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue
9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and, therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.
10. Billing

Third-Party Travel Planning with Amadeus E-Travel
Hi all,
I've just started to work with my client and Amadeus on implementing the third party travel planning functionality for integration between ECC (ERP 6.0 EHP6) and AeTM (the Amadeus e-Travel Management booking tool).
I was wondering if anyone has implemented this and has any particular advice or guidance?
@SAP, Amadeus advised that you have some user friendly documentation which shows screenshots of the basic customizing required for the initial set up. I was hoping this could be something that you would be able to share? I am going through the guidance on SAP Help and OSS notes but it would be great if we could see this more "friendly" document?
Kind Regards,
JackHi Jack
Let me know what u need on this.
Normally for Travel Planning we need to do the following config
1) Technical control parameters for Travel Planning
2) External Reservation system
3) Define Reservation system (this is the place where u define ur 3rd party tool i.e Amadeus)
4) Define Logical system for Reservation system
5) Assign SAP codes to GDS codes
6) Sales Offices
7) Assign Logon data to Sales Offices
8) Define Queues of Sales Offices
9) Define Queue categories
10) Define Sales Office Activities
11) Assign Queue Activities
12) Set up RFC Destinations for Interfaces to External System
13) Access to External Reservation system
14) Define Groups for Access to External Reservation system
15) Define Sales offices & RFC Destinations
16) Assign Several Company Indicators Per Sales Office to groups
17) Assign Fulfillment Sales Offices
18) Define Specific process steps for Global Reservation system
19) Define Travel Service categories
20) Check the Feature TRVOF
These are the config steps for Travel Planning with 3rd party tool
Hope this Info will be useful
Cheers

Hello Friends,
In third party order , after statistical MIGO (without MIRO)( I maintained copy controls as per requirement) if I am trying to do invoice in VF04 with my order number,I am unable to do it because order number is not showing in VF04.Can someone Plz suggest me?
regards,
SeetaramHi,
Check the third party item category in VOV7, as per note 210561 - When is a third-party item displayed in VF04?
Following are the details of the note;
Symptom
When is a third-party item displayed in the billing due list (Transaction VF04) and when can it be billed?
Additional key words
TAS, third-party, third-party order, purchase order item
Cause and prerequisites
Solution
The system displays a third-party item in the billing due list if the billing status of the item (VBUP-FKSAA) is on 'not yet billed' or 'partially billed'.
This status is determined:
1. for an item with relevancy for billing B - order-related in accordance with order quantity (Transaction VOV7) if the sales order was created with the third-party item.
2. for an item with relevancy for billing F - order-related in accordance with invoice receipt quantity if an invoice receipt was posted in MM for the third-party item.

santhoshHi,
Your configuration will only be applicable for the documents you are creating in future. It will not be applicable for the documents you have created in the past.
If any such open sales orders exist with third party I.C., then just delete them or put rejection codes, and then start creating new orders for them
If invoiced cases are there, you really have to analyse the implications and then take the corrective measures. -
Hai friends this kiran
when i am doing the process for third party sales i got the error at billing level.
i rasied the sales order with item category TAS and got the requisetion number. with that reference PR i did PO and done the migo also. when i am doing the invoice with reference to order system is shopwing error message.
I configured and checked at item level which is TAS order related billing with B and F also.
plz give some lights on thatHi Kiran,
since its third party before you do billing you also need to do that MIRO ie invoice verification. Then do the billing with billing relvance as F- order related billing status accoring to invoice qty. And i only you have MIGO if at all only as statistical, since in third party we dont receive the stock physically into our plant. It directly goes from vendor to customer.
