Third party contract

I have a contract with the vendor who will supply my customer directly. vendor will invocie me and i in turn will bill the customer.
This basically third party sale processing.
Now I have to create a contract for third party. But there is no item category third party S in the case of contracts. In std sap in ME31K following items categories are given:
1. Standard
2. subcontracting
3. service
4. material unknown
5. material group.
do I have to maintain a contract using standard item category. will system understand during source determination and assign the vendor from contract that it is meant for third party processing when purchase requisitions are created automatically from sales order in third party deal.

Thanks , my question was :

For third party, the settings are as per what you said.

Third Party Signature on contract

I've developed a contract and need a third party to sign it. Would like to use a digital signature idea - or a "click-through" accept.
I found how to create a digital signature for myself.
Does anyone know how to save the form then allow and require the person you send the form to to sign it?
Thanks.

You would have to add a digital signature field to the document and then Reader-enable the document, assuming it has to work with Reader. The user would have to have a digital ID, which they can create in Reader. You cannot force the user to sign it before viewing the document, if that's what you wanted.

HI,
RTP - Returnable transport packaging (RTP) is a multi-trip packaging medium (for example, pallets or containers) in which goods can be transported more than once between vendors and customers.
Returnable transport packaging from a vendor that is stored at a location on your premises is managed as special stock and clearly assigned as belonging to the vendor. It is the property of the vendor and is therefore not included in the customeru2019s valuated stock.
What Type of Stock is This?
RTP stocks from vendors are externally owned and are not valuated.
RTP stock is always unrestricted-use stock. The stock can neither be in quality inspection nor blocked
1.We can use any material for RTP or we can use LEIH material type for a material of RTP type.
2.During GR we do it with respect to PO so the material ordered within the PO displays as default. In order to get the RTP material we add a separate material with 501 M mvt type. The order material will have 101 mvt type.
3Initial Entry for RTP is also possible with MB1C 561 M.
4.Transfer posting of RTP material from one storage location to another can also me done with the mvt type 311 M.
5.You post a return with reversal movement types 502 M and 562 M.
Consignments - In consignment processing, the vendor provides materials and stores them on your premises. The vendor remains the legal owner of the material until you withdraw materials from the consignment stores. Only then does the vendor require payment. The invoice is due at set periods of time, for example, monthly. In addition, you can also arrange with the vendor that you take over ownership of the remaining consignment material after a certain period of time.
1.Created a material as GENERAL1 u2013 MM01
2.Created a Vendor as GENERAL u2013 XK01
3.Created a consignment info record for the above material and vendor combination u2013 ME11.
4.Created a PR with ITEM CATEGORY as K u2013 Consignments. u2013 ME51N
5.Created a PO wrt this PR u2013 ME21N
6.GR can be done with respect to PO or without PO
7.Transferring Consignment stock to Own Stock = MB1B 411 K
8.Consignment Settlements can be done by MRKO
Pipeline - A pipeline material is a material that flows directly into the production process from a pipeline (for example, oil), from a pipe (for example, tap water), or from another similar source (for example, electricity).
A material from the pipeline is always available; i.e. it can be withdrawn from the pipeline at any time and in any quantity.
1. Creating a Pipeline Material - MM01 - PIPE
2. Creating a Pipeline Info Record - ME11
3. Maintaining the Source List - ME01
4. Posting Goods Issue from the Pipeline - MIGO
5. Settling Pipeline Liabilities - MRKO
Third Party - In third-party processing, you place a purchase order with a vendor to deliver goods or perform a service for a third party (for example, for a customer).
This means that your company does not deliver the material. You forward the order to an external vendor instead, who then sends the material directly to the customer and invoices you.

TS3694 I went to my phone network at the end of my contract to unlock my iphone 3G so it could take another network sim, they instead of unlocking it sent me to a third party who has unlocked it but also 'jail broken' it. Error code 1015 when trying to re

Help with Error Code 1015 during restoring iphone 3G?

Sorry, but we cannot help you with jailbroken iPhones in this forum. You will probably need to go back to this "third party" who jailbroke your iPhone and ask for assistance.
Note that even if you can get the iPhone restored, that will almost certainly remove the unlock. Only if an iPhone is offically unlocked by the cell carrier can you restore or upgrade the operating system and have the iPhone remain unlocked.

Purchase Requisition for Third party direct

Hi Experts,
When I am creating a third party direct sales order, a purchase requisition will be automatically triggered from it.
I can see the purchase requisition number in the item details (schedule lines) of sales order.
Please tell me how can I change the source of supply. For me it is defualt as purchase info record but I want to use Contracts instaed of infor records.
Can anybody tell Is there any customizing settings for it ?
Thanks.
Nishant.

You shouldn't have to do any config settings. This is standard. So create your contract and release it. In the source list add the vendor and enter the contract number in the agreement field and subject it to MRP as well as fixing the vendor and blocking the other vendor in the source list. Re run MRP and the purchase reqs will reference the contracts. Make sure the validity date of both the contract the the line item in the source list are long enough to capture all reqs.

Third party order

a TPO is creating a PR and we want to create a Contract out of that( i.e PR) and not PO by refrencing the PR.Kindly help me ASAP

Hello,
In third Party scenario Pr gets created automatically and you want to create contract out of it. I just want to understand the reason behind this.
You can create contract with refering this Pr but again you have to create release order (PO ) for ordering.
Instead of this you can creat a contract before and assign Contract as source of supply and maintain source list so that you can directly create release order from PR.

Third Party Order/STO

Hi Gurus,
I have a nice scenario here in my project. We are working in project system and plant and maintenance modules in ECC 6.0. The PS netwrok order is created with either of the options-network or third party. Now the scenario for third party is like this- The project wants the vendor to send the the material to directly to the project site and they mention project site address in the network order. Once they release the order- reqs are generated with item category as third party. We are working in extended classic scenario SRM 5.0. so reqs are to be tranfered to SRM and create PO further. My problem is these reqs are getting failed in SRM. These gives an error in SRM in SLG1- "ordering party does not exist".
Note that in network order they don't specify vendor but they only choose option third party and enter the address of the project site. How can I resolve this problem?
2. We are making material tranfers from one plant to another using stock transport order and the plants are assigned to one company only. within the company they are doing tranfer beacuse the plant sites are at different locations. Now for stock trannsport order they create plant as vendor in ECC using XK01 and assing supplying plant to this vendor. Then they create a work order in PM using iw01. In this work order they add componets and assign the this plant which is created as vendor to this componet in the field fixed vendor. Reqs are generated thru this work order but gets failed in SRM. SLG1 error i don't exactly remember now, but it gives an error related to the vendor..Please let me know how do I work for this scenario?
Thanks and Regards

Third party for subcontractor

Hi,
Kindly help me to map below scenario:
I have 2 company codes AAAA and BBBB.BBBB is a customer to AAAA.
BBBB place a order to AAAA,AAAA in turn place an order to its sub-contracting vendor XXXX.
AAAA sends component material to XXXX and ask him to deliver the FG directly to BBBB.
Kindly let me know if I can map through third party process as vendor is subcontracting vendor.
How goods receipt is handled in this.
Please let me know if any other way to map this.
Regards,
Venkatesh

HI
Customer : BBBB , Vendor : XXXXX in Company Code : AAAAA
1. Create BBBB as a Customer with Company code AAAA
2. Raise a Sale order for the customer (BBBB) with Company Code AAAA (Like Third part Sales ). once you save the Sale order system will generate automatically PR number
3. WIth reference of PR number will raise the PO with Vendor XXXXX
4.Vendor XXXXX will delivery the Goods to BBBB
5. AAAA will raise the Bil to BBBB (Customer )
I hope you Understand

Third party shipment and dropship differences

Dear all,
I have several questions on the following and it is always confused me:
1 - Is there a difference btw the Third Party Shipment and the Third Party Dropship? or are they actually means the samething? if not, please tell me the differences?
2 - May I know in what step of the above two processes does the MM functional come into the picture? (i.e. what part of the above process are own by MM).
Thanks.
tuffy

Hi Tuffy,
In Third party dropship scenario, customer give an order from your e-trade site or online sales site. after receiving the order, your contracted company with you will deliver the order, not you. you are adding your profit to the list pricing. Process is going below:
customer >> shopping from you >> payment to you >> getting the amount of profit after sales >>> sending of order and delivery information about customer to contracted company >> contracted company will deliver th order to the customer.
But in other type of third part sales, we sould create purchase order additionally.
I hope these will clarfy your confussion.

Third Party and Shipment Cost managed by Trader.

Hi gurus,
I have set up the scenario third party with Delivery note and it works fine.
That means i can execute all the process till the billing. Customer, trader and supplier are set.
The problem here is that in this scenario, the trader wants to be responsible for the shipment costs. Before implementing the scenario i thought it would be possible to, from the purchase order generate an outbound delivery and create a shipment document for applying costs to it. The problem is for position TAS it is not possible to do none of that.
I can't find a solution for this... has anyone faced a problem like this? Or is capable of seeing a possible solution?
best regards.
Diogo

Third Party X-Fi Mode Switching Softw

I recently ran across an issue which is documented in this thread:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=53809
What I found out raised an interesting possibility: it should fairly easy to make software to switch modes with X-Fi sound cards. The community only needs to work together to make some third party software to get the job done.
When modes are switched for the X-Fi, the following folder is utilized (on XP, at any rate):
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Creative\Spi\
{00000005-00000000-00000007-000002-00000005-00202}\Modes
The files which are involved are named as such:
CTXFICMu.ini
CTXFICMu.rfx
CTXFIEMu.ini
CTXFIEMu.rfx
CTXFIGMu.ini
CTXFIGMu.rfx
The two 'CTXFICMu' files correspond to Audio Creation Mode, while the 'CTXFIEMu' files match Entertainment Mode and the 'CTXFIGMu' files match Game Mode.
The *.ini files are text files containing mixer information for each mode, and the *.rfx files are binary files. I suspect the *.rfx files may be related to the programmable nature of the audio chip, but I haven't messed around with them too much since it is outside the scope of my abilities.
The CTXFISPI.EXE process is making the reads and writes to these files, which seems to indicate that it does the dirty work when it comes to changing the modes of the card.
If the community can determine how to encourage CTXFISPI.EXE to switch modes (or if Creative decides to be forthcoming with the details), then third party apps can be developed to make the switch easier (tray app menu), faster (no animations), more efficient, and seamless (a scriptable method for changing modes would be great!).
Additionally, it shouldn't be too hard to make software which allows for per user mixer settings with the X-Fi. It is only a matter of switching in a particular user's *.ini and *.rfx files to the Modes directory before CTXFISPI.EXE loads them at log in, and then saving the same files again at log off.
So, I have a request for Creative: would you please release some documentation about how to switch modes programmatically or even from the command line?
I'm also throwing out this challenge to the community: if Creative is unable or unwilling to release the information needed, then let's get under the hood of the X-Fi and decode mode switching ourselves. If someone can expose how mode switching works, then I would be more than happy to whip up an interface for it.
Drailex_Mauder

I have created a quick fix for the lack of mode switching options currently available. I would like to program something more feature rich in C, but for now VBScript is better than nothing. If we don't get a leg up from Creative, it may be a while as I will have to look into reverse engineering the software. This would require learning some new skills on my part.
These scripts work by loading the Creative Audio Console and pushing the appropriate keystrokes to change the mode. It is a dirty way to get the job done, but until more is known about how to change modes through CTXFISPI.EXE these scripts will have to do.
I am releasing these scripts under a BSD licence, which appears at the end of this message. Kinda silly for such small blocks of code, but it's there more to cover my assets with the legal disclaimer than anything else.
Copy each block of code into a separate text file and make sure that the file name ends in a VBS extension. Any up to date 2000 or XP machine should run these scripts no problem. I have placed shortcuts to the scripts in my Quick Launch Toolbar so that I can quickly change modes.
You could also add them to a script which switches to game mode, runs your game, and then switches back to entertainment mode.
VERY IMPORTANT: The Creative Audio Console must not be running when you run one of these scripts, otherwise the script will randomly change your settings.
And once again, if anyone can assist in determining how to coax CTXFISPI.EXE into switching modes, this will take things a long way to creating 3rd party mode switching software which meets the goals of my original post in this thread.

ME59N - Intercompany Third party subcontracting Process

Hi Experts,
In Intercompany third party subcontracting process, PR is created from the sales order. PR has the account assignment category X and Item Category L.
Fixed source of supply exists. Subcontracting Info record has been created.
Material components icon has been deactivated as it is generating from Sales order.
While using ME59N, it throws Requisition could not be converted. One of our collegues told that if the subcontracting item has been automatically generated from SD Module, then ME59N will not convert the PR to PO.
Please let me know if there are any settings needs to be done. Or standard ME59N will not convert the above scenario.
by
Prabhu

There is no restrication that Automatic PO will not be created if the PR is created from the Sales Order.
Please elobarate on the exact error you are getting.
However please follow & check if these general settings are in place.
1.Material has the auto PO checked in Material Master.
2. Vendor has the Auto PO checked in Vendor Master.
3.Source list is maintained if material master has source list checked.
4.Valid conditions exist in the Sub Contracting info record.
5.Right variant ex - doctype,Plant etc exist or are entered in ME59N.

Please suggest
Thanks
SUNIL

Hi Sunil
Follow these steps
If components to be provided to a vendor are supplied not by your company but by a third-party, you can order the components from the third-party and specify the subcontractor in the purchase order as the delivery address. At goods receipt the components are posted directly to the stock of the material provided to vendor.
Entering a Purchase Order for Components
To order components for a subcontract order from a vendor and have them delivered direct to the subcontractor, enter a standard purchase order with a different delivery address:
From the Purchasing menu, choose Purchase order ® Create ® Vendor known.
Maintain the data on the initial screen. Make sure you enter the vendor of the components and the plant concerned.
Enter the items.
Then choose Item ® More functions ® Delivery address.
A dialog box appears in which you enter the delivery address.
In the field Vendor enter the number of the subcontractor and select the SC vendor box.
Selecting the box causes the components at goods receipt to be posted directly to the stock of the material provided to vendor when the goods receipt is posted.
Save the purchase order.
Posting the Goods Receipt of the Components
If the subcontractor lets you know that the components have arrived, you can enter the goods receipt for the purchase order. The components are posted directly to the stock of the material provided to vendor.
Stock Update
A goods receipt posting has the following results in the system:
the stock of material provided to vendor at plant level is increased. The stock of material provided to vendor is not managed at storage location level, since the stock is no longer stored at your company.
Valuated stock at plant level increases.
Documents
An accounting document is created for the material document.
After this normal subcontracting order for finished product.
Reward if useful
