Third party Drop Ship

Hi All,
We have a scenario wherein we use third party drop ship for accessory material. Currently when a sales order is created with multiple line items, it generates multiple purchase requisitions against each line item. These PR's are in turn converted to multiple PO's.
Can we have an option of generating a Scheduling agreement with reference to multiple PR's generated, or any other way where we can club the items may be as per material group. This is required in order to avoid processing of multiple Purchase documents.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Sourabh Kothari

Hi,
I am converting the PR's generated from third party Sales order into PO. Against single PR i can create one scheduling agreement.
Is there any way to update single SA against multiple PR's generated from multiple Sales orders. What transaction should i use to create it
In case i convert it to PO from Me29, is there an option of adding a line item if i have new PR in the same PO?
Thanks,
Sourabh Kothari

Freight from PO or goods receipt into sales order in Third party drop ship

Hello!!!
We have a requirement where the freight charged by vendor in third party drop ship sales order scenario should show up in the billing document to customer. So we will create a sales order with TAS item category. This will create PReq and PO subsequently. Once the vendor delivers the goods to customer and we do the goods receipt in the system, we will bill the customer. While we bill we want to bring the actual freight charged by vendor to the customer billing document. Also we bill the customer as soon as we do the receipt and do not wait for the vendor invoice.
I am not sure if we can do this standard SAP but would like to if anyone has come across this scenario and what is the approach if we need to do this. We can have vendor send us the freight while doing the goods receipt but not sure how to transfer the value to sales order or to billing document directly.
Any help or idea is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

During GRN we cannot enter any value apart from the excise or customs duty, therefore the freight that you have incured at actuals cannot be captured during GRN and therefore cannot be transfered to the invoice also.
While creating invoice to the customer you can insert a freight condition type and enter the freight value manualy.
Generally in third party scenario we can only invoice the cust after purchase booking has taken place. In your case you want the cust invoice to be created based on grn, for that you have modify the copy control settings.

Cost in invoice in the case of third party drop ship scenario

Hello ALL
We have third party drop ship scenario where vendor drop ships the goods to customer on our behalf and once we get the confirmation from vendor we bill the customer. The sales order line has TAS item category. When we raise the invoice the cost and billing quantity (because billing quantity is 'E' in copy control) comes from the goods receipt. The PO is an import PO and has custom duty (delivery cost conditon) as well. The custom duty is significant and hence when we create billing doc from sales order we want the custom duty also to come along with the material pirce as cost to the billing doc. Currently, the billing doc has material price from goods receipt as cost.
Can we get both price and custom duty as cost through some config or some change in PO pricing schema? Or is there an user exit that can be used to manipuate the same?
This is a common scenario in India and hence if anybody has come across this already and can share the solution, it will be great.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can do like this.
Create a cost condition type ( copy of VPRS) and place it properly in the pricing procedure. sub total field must be B to collect the cost. Place a account key and maintain the G/L account for it also.
In the requirement you can develop a new requirement saying that in case of TAS item category system should check for the cost of the item from a PO, and you can get the total of customs and price to by writing a logic. To develop the program and logic discuss with your developer.
Thanks,

COPA - Third Party Drop Ship Returns - Vendor Discounts

Hello -
This is challenging so I hope some of you can help me please!
Can anyone explain to me how vendor discounts work in copa as they relate to third party drop ship returns? We use net vendor invoices where discount is taken at time of vendor posting and offset by clearing account.
We have several scenarios where we cannot reconcile FI and COPA for COGS account because of the discount on the vendor credit memo.
An example:
We have created the sales order and purchase order for the process. Then we do a migo and a miro from the vendor.
The vendor document has a discount of 1%, so if it costs $100, here is the accounting:
MIGO -
dr. cogs 100
cr. gr/ir 100
miro
dr. vendor discount clearing 1
cr. cogs 1
dr. gr/ir 100
cr vendor 100
then we bill the customer.
Copa at this point gets hit with 99 debit to cogs value field (100 -1 =99)
then we process the customer credit memo request.
Then we process the vendor miro credit.
dr. cogs 1
cr. vendor discount clearing 1
dr. vendor 100
cr. gr/ir 100
At the time the vendor credit memo is posted, sap inserts a new copa line-item on the customer billing document with $1.00 debit to copa.
then we reverse migo
dr. gr/ir 100
cr cogs 100
And then we bill the customer credit memo, which creates another copa document that credits copa with $99.00. why doesn't this create a copa document of -$100. this would help tie out copa and fi.
If you go through and look at all cogs postings on FI side, the credits and debits = 0
If you go through and look at the cogs posting in COPA, the credits and debits = 1
therefore, fi and co don't tie.
please give me any ideas that might help me.

Hi Valerio,
Have you found any solution for your issue?
We have a similar problem with 3rd party drop ship orders and COPA. Cost of Goods Sold Drop Ship is being charged when we use MR11 to clear GR/IR account. This is causing reconciliation issues between COPA and the General Ledger.
Let me know if you have come across any clues?
Thanks.

Third Party Drop ship and availability check against Product Allocations.

Dear All -
We are facing a situation where we need to create a third party drop ship Sales Order with an item category which still reaches out to APO and confirms against the product allocation quantities. This is not supported by standard SAP.
Has anyone come across such a requirement and how has it been handled. I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Regards
Mandar

Vladimir,
I want the drop ship in which when you create SO, before selecting the vendor, system should perform availability check for plants. If material is not available in the plants ( nearest plant) then system should select the vendor who will ship the material to customer directly.

Third Party Drop Ship with Auto PO Generation

Hi All -
I am using a third party drop ship process and I would like the PO to be automatically generated by the system.
I have changed the configuration on the TAS item category and checked 'Create PO Automatically'. I went to OVX5 and maintained the Purchasing Org, Plant, Purchasing group, and order type for my Sales Org.
When I create a sales order with a material with a TAS item category. The purchase requisition gets created but the PO does not. Am I missing something in set up?
Please help
Thanks
J

Auto Po will not generates in third party sales, only PR will get generated based on PR we have to create PO in ME21N.
pls search in forum will get many threads on this

How to close third party (drop ship) contract

Hi Friends,
This is our scenario,
created drop ship sales order (with item category YB1), then PR automaticlly created. say PR 123456
Create quantity contract(out blanket PO) to vendor reference PR123456
After receiving shipping document, create PO(internal document) reference PR 123456
Since PO created by referencing PR but not contract, whenever GR to PO, the conresponding qty won'e reduced from Open target quantity in contract. thus this type of contract always stays open /
My question is : How to show correct open target quantity in drop ship contract.
Thanks,
Linda

Hi Linda,
Instead of creating the Contract with reference to the PR , create the contract without any reference. By doing so if you do the source determination in the 3rd part PR it would pick this contract as a reference. The PO created based on this PR will have the reference of both the PR and the contract.
Alternatively you can enter the contract number directly in the PO which would also update the open target quantity in the contract.

Kathir

GATP Allocation Check w/ 3rd Party Drop Ship or Make-to-Order

Experts,
For our stocked materials we currently do an allocation check in APO. We now need to do the same allocation check in a MTO (TAB) or 3rd party drop ship (TAS) scenario. However, we are not able to get the allocation check to get accross to APO. We have made the settings to our SL cat. indicating that an allocation check should be performed but its not working.
Is there a setting which we should consider looking at? Or, has SAP assumed that if one does MTO or 3rd party drop ship that supply is unlimited and there is no need to allocate to customers?

Hi,
As far as my understanding in third party drop shiment,there is no need of GATP,

[SD] Third party with Ship-to different to Sold-to

Dear all,
>> In sales order third-party, I change the partner Ship-to different to Sold-to. When making good receipts for the relavant Purchase order (created for this sales order), the system outputs the Error Message no. KE396: Inconsistency between a document field and the prof. segment number
>> The detail explanation for this message issued by system is following:
Diagnosis
A line item was assigned to a profitability segment (number 0000124336) which has the value 0000001000 for characteristic Customer. The original document (FI document, sales order, internal order, etc.), however, contains 0000001010 in this field. It is therefore inconsistent with the profitability segment found.
System Response
The characteristics in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) must have the same characteristic values as the original document. For example, you cannot assign a sales order to a different customer or product than the one contained in the original sales order. If you wish to fill the characteristics with different contents, you must change the original fields.
Procedure
Enter the correct characteristic values on the CO-PA assignment screen. The system will automatically assign a corresponding profitability segment number. If it is not possible to enter values in some of these fields, delete the entire assignment to a profitability segment number and then enter it again.
As a rule, you should first enter the fields in the original sender document and then make the assignment to a profitability segment.
Thanks,
Son

Dear Chandra Duvvada,
Thanks for your reponse. T-code KEDR is used for derivation that we can use to assign new value Ship-to based on Sold-to in COPA. However, it is not adapted to this case. Because in PO, the customer field has value as the shipto in sales order. And the system is not allowed. We decide not use different Ship-to in case third party sales.
Thanks for your answer.

Quality Inspection and COA for 3rd Party Drop Ship Vendor

The scenario is as follows: We will be using a 3rd party vendor to fulfill certain materials directly to our customers. The vendor will be sending us a sample from each production run to run our own analysis against the batch. I am wondering the best way to capture this data against the material and plant? Can we do it per run, capturing the data against a batch or do we have to capture the data per good receipt (in this case statistical)?

Hi Balaji
I create the 3rd party process steps , and i also saw the configuration in the system already done in the past , so i created the sales order but i want item category to be automatically on the sales order , but i am not sure about this. so i tried changing manually and this was the error ...item category ZTAS is not defined for this item.please advise how to fix this

In Case of Third Party Orders, Let me know the configuratins that needs to be done if we want the warehouse Nos. has to be selected as Ship to Party Information in SO/PR/PO.
This is required in case we need a third party Item to be diverted to Warehouse instead of delivery to the customer directly from the vendor.

2 - PO process for intracompany drop ship to 3PL.

Our company has a business process where a purchase order is released to a vendor for a long lead time item. The vendor is to deliver the product to a 3PL that is set up as a plant in our system. There are several requirements having heavy influence on this business process:
u2022     We need to take ownership of the product while it is in transit to the 3PL.
u2022     We need to pay the vendor prior to the product arriving at the 3PL.
u2022     We need to be able to show the inventory as being in-transit to the 3PL.
We currently meet these requirements in the following way:
u2022     A PO (#1) is created from a u201Cvirtualu201D plant to the vendor.
u2022     Another Stock Transfer Order (#2) is created from the virtual plant to the 3PL that is to receive the product.
u2022     When the vendor notifies the virtual plant the product has shipped to the 3PL, a virtual goods receipt is done in the virtual plant against PO #1.   This allows an invoice to be entered and the vendor paid.
u2022     A virtual delivery is created against the STO #2 and post goods issued, putting it in transit to the 3PL. An EDI signal is sent to the 3PL as a shipment advice that the product is coming in.
u2022     When the 3PL receives the product from the vendor they post a goods receipt with reference to the STO #2, closing the loop.
This process is less than optimal because:
u2022     Two PO documents must be maintained and kept in sync during the process.
u2022     Products are long lead time, meaning this process of keeping 2 POu2019s in sync must be done for a long time.
u2022     Significant time is spent creating virtual transactions.
Does anyone know of a way that we can more efficiently meet the requirements outlined above WITHOUT having a 2-PO process and virtual transactions? We would love to hear your ideas or recommendations.

Hi Daniel,
   Your scenario is covered under SAP Best Practices V4G: Third-Party Drop Shipment with Vendor Invoices and Returns.
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. The standard sales order automatically creates a purchase requisition for the materials to be delivered by the third-party vendor.
In this scenario, the vendor sends a shipping notification. The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document is only possible after entering the invoice from the vendor.
If the customer does not accept the delivered goods from the third party vendor, the customer disposes of the goods. A credit memo is issued to the customer reversing the revenue and cost of goods sold. Then a MM credit memo is created for the third party vendor. A statistical goods receipt reversal is performed for the goods in order to close out the original purchase order. The vendor credit memo may initially be blocked for payment, if previous agreement for this with vendor exists.

Third party dropshipment process and system setup

Hi gentlemen,
I have a few question to check with you.
1 - What is the difference between Third Party Shipment, and Third Party Drop Shipment in term of process?
2 - What is the system setup requirement for Third Party Drop shipment (I know TAS is require for 3rd party, but what about 3rd party drop shipment)?
thanks
tuff

Hi Tuffy,
I did'nt quite get the context of what you mean by third party in this case. Is it a third party delivery which uses TAS item cat on the sales order.
Or we have scenarios where order is done by for example my company but there is an external ware house which receives my dleivery number probably through EDI who does the shipment and confirms back to SAP to trigger PGI.
Drop shipment in general business terms is used reduce the cost of inventory stocking. Like I just take orders and book it to a company, they do the shipment to the address I mention ( this goes as part of ship to party address ). Since the company does not from who all I can book orders they just maintain a drop ship customer.
