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.

  • Third Party Remittance Process

    Hi All,
    Wage type '/484' is a technical wage type used for one of the taxes in the US.  Our client just started using this tax type for a new tax for the state of New York.  SAP has the tax wage types set to post in third-party remittance by default, even though we do not use third-party remittance for taxes (we only use third-party remittance for garnishments).
    To avoid using Third Party Remittance I have changed the processing class 78 value for '/484' from u201C2u201D to BLANK.  So that this will stop it from being included in the third-party remittance process.
    Actually, I have not worked much on this Remittance process. I have made changes in Development system but have not transported them to quality.
    But, I want to know how would i test it. I need to test in two scenario's:
    1. Testing in quality so that i can see remittance happening (When Processing Class '78' value is '2').
    2. Testing again in quality how remittance is getting stopped for Wage Type '/484' (When Processing Class '78' value is '0').
    So, basically I want to know how we can check (verify) for remittance happening in the system for a particular Wage Type.
    Regards,
    Avinash

    transaction:  PC00_M10_U500
    This transaction runs the payroll driver (the same one that we run payroll with, program RPCALCU0).  It defaults to the schema u201CU500u201D.  Use this standard schema if no custom specific modifications are done.
    The testing for this is to run the third-party remittance process and verify that the error no longer occurs for an employee with wage type /484.

  • Third party order processing with GATP allocations and no CRM

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to integrate third party order processing with APO product allocations, or know of some good references? We do not have CRM. We currently have APO 4.0, soon to be upgraded to 5.0 and R3 4.6.
    Thanks,
    Gigi

    Someone 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

  • Third Party order processing- PR creation

    Hi
    In Third Party Order processing , system creates single Purchase requisition for the all line items in the Sales order. Our requirement is to create individual PR for each line item in the sales order. For Example , if the sales order is having two lines items (10 and 20) with item category TAS, system should create two purchase requisition against line 10 and 20. Is there any customization available to control this ? if not how can we achieve this functionality.
    Thanks in advance for your immediate response.
    With regards,
    Joseph Anand B

    Joseph,
    1. First you need to maintain ZTA1 and ZTA2 two item categories.( Replica of TAS)
    2. Proceed with Item category determination for ZTA1 and Keep ZTA2 as Manual Item Category both the item category should have same details.
    3. Proceed Creating Schedule line categories ZTA1 + MRP type = C1 (Replica of CS - LEG)
        Similarly create another ZTA2 + MRP type = C2 (Replica of CS - LEG)
    Now when you raise a third party order enter the material ( 2 line items) and price and press enter. The first line item will have ZTA1 and second line item also will have ZTA1 change it manually to ZTA2.
    save the document.
    Try this i hope it should work
    Note: But like one of our friend likely pointed out what if it were to be more than 2 items.... just check it out. Does it sound perfect....

  • Third party order processing in Thailand

    Hi,
    does anyone know that for third party order processing in Thailand, where goods are shipped directly from the vendor to the customer, is it a legal requirement for Thailand to keep track of the in and out movement of the goods in SAP although the goods did not actually come in to the company before going to customer?
    If that's the case, how can we handle this in the SAP system? Do we need to do goods receipt and then goods issue out from the inventory to record all the movement for the direct shipment?
    please can anyone shed any lights on the above.
    Thank you.
    KT

    Hi,
    the third party process is as fillows: 
    1.  Item category is TAS and schedule line should be CS
    2.  MM01 general item category group is BANS
    3.  item category determination should be in T_184 table  ORBANSNIL+NIL=TAS
    4.  schedule line detrnination should be TAS+NIl=CS
    5.  process OR (VA01) and get the purchase requisition number from VA02
    6.  wrt PR create purchase order.
    7.  wrt PO verndor supplies stock directly to ur customer
    8. vertually u do GR in MIGO, that goes to directly stock consumption because ur accounts have  to be updated to that extent.(u dont do delivery and PGI, u receive GR that goes to consumption stock dierectly)
    9. Vendor message comes to u as goods supplied that u make settings PO item views
    10. basing on that you send the F2 to ur customer in VF01
    10. vendor sends invoice to you.
    hope this will hilp u

    THIRD PARTY SCENARIO
    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. A sales order may consist partly or wholly of third-party items. Occasionally, you may need to let a vendor deliver items you would normally deliver yourself.
    Process Flow
    the processing of third-party orders is controlled via material types. Material types define whether a material is produced only internally can be ordered only from third-party vendors, or whether both are possible. For example, a material that is defined as a trading good can only be ordered from a third-party vendor. However, if you manufacture your own finished products, you may also want, from time to time, to be able to order the same type of product from other vendors.
    Processing Third-Party Orders in Sales
    Third-party items can be created automatically by the system, depending on how your system is set. However, you can also change a standard item to a third-party item during sales processing manually.
    Automatic third-party order processing:-
    if a material is always delivered from one or more third-party vendors, you can specify in the material master that the material is a third-party item. During subsequent sales order processing, the system automatically determines the appropriate item category for a third-party item: TAS. To specify a material as a third-party item, enter BANS in the Item category group field in the Sales 2 screen of the material master record.
    Manual third-party order processing
    In the case of a material that you normally deliver yourself but occasionally need to order from a third-party vendor, you can overwrite the item category during sales order processing. For a material that you normally deliver yourself, you specify the item category group NORM in the material master.
    If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the sales document. The item is then processed as third-party item.
    If address data for the ship-to party is changed in the sales order in third-party business transactions, the changed data will automatically be passed on to purchase requisition and also to the purchase order ,if one already exists. In the purchase order, you can display the address data for the ship-to party in the attributes for the item.
    You can only change the address data for the ship-to party in the sales order for third-party business transactions, and not in the purchase order.
    Processing Third-Party Orders in Purchasing
    when you save a sales order that contains one or more third-party items, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition in Purchasing. Each third-party item in a sales order automatically generates a corresponding purchase requisition item. During creation of the requisition, the system automatically determines a vendor for each requisition item. If a sales order item has more than one schedule line, the system creates a purchase requisition item for each schedule line.
    Purchase orders are created from purchase requisitions in the usual way. For more information about creating purchase orders, see the Purchasing documentation. During creation of the purchase order, the system automatically copies the delivery address of your customer from the corresponding sales order. In a sales order, you can enter purchase order texts for each third-party item. When you create the corresponding purchase order, the texts are automatically copied into the purchase order. The number of the purchase order appears in the document flow information of the sales order.
    All changes made in the purchase order are automatically made in the sales order as well. For example, if the vendor confirms quantities and delivery dates different from those you request and enters them in the purchase order, the revised data is automatically copied into the sales order
    you process third-party items by creating a normal sales order. In overview for the order, you can then overwrite the default item category (TAN in the standard system) with the special item category for third-party items: TAS
    Billing Third-Party Orders
    If relevance for billing indicator for the item category has been set to B (relevant for order-related billing on the basis of the order quantity) in Customizing, the system includes the order in the billing due list immediately. If, however, the indicator has been set to F (relevant to order-related billing on the basis of the invoice quantity), the system does not include the order in the billing due list until an invoice from the vendor has been received and processed by the purchasing department. In the standard system, item category TAS (third-party order processing) has been given billing-relevance indicator F.
    In the first case, the third-party order is considered to be completely billed only when the invoiced quantity equals the order quantity of the sales order item. In the second case, each time a vendor invoice is received, a customer invoice is created for the quantity in the vendor invoice and the order is considered to be fully invoiced until the next vendor invoice is received.
    If you have activated billing-relevance indicator F for item categories in Customizing, billing can refer to the goods receipt quantity instead of the incoming invoice quantity.
    You can control whether the invoice receipt quantity or the quantity of goods received is relevant for billing in Customizing for copying control for billing at item level.
    FOR YOUR PROCESS Individual Purchase Orders WELL GIVE THE RIGHT SOLUTION
    Individual purchase orders are used when your customer orders goods from you that are not in stock and must be ordered from one or more external vendors.
    Process Flow
    During sales order entry, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition item. The purchasing department creates a purchase order based on the requisition and the vendor ships the goods directly to you (unlike third party order processing, where the vendor ships directly to your customer). You then ship the goods to your customer. While the goods are part of your inventory, you manage them as part of the sales order stock. Sales order stock consists of stock that is assigned to specific sales orders and cannot be used for other purposes.
    Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales
    Customize the third party sales in summary:
    Prerequisites for 3rd party sales,
    Purchasing org,
    purchasing group,
    assign the Purchase org to company code
    assign Purchase org to plant,
    should not maintain the stock in material, it should be trading goods,
    1. Create Vendor XK01
    2. Create Material – 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.

I have couple of parts that we dont manufacture and we ask our vendors to ship it direct to customer. i am trying to set up a third party order processing for this sceanario but system is giving me message that i cant use scheduling agreements. i tested with sales order and it worked fine with that.

    Actually the main configuration is just the item category and schedule line category.
    You could refer to TAS and TAB in standard system to create third party order and individual purchase order.

  • Re : Third-Party Order Processing for Subcontracting ( Enhancement Pack 5)

    Hi,
    In Third-Party Order Processing for subcontracting - Purchase orders for products that are finished by a subcontractor and sent straight to the end customer. PR created in Sales system are processed further in this scenario where you direct your SC Vendor to send the material to your customer.
    Although its a standard third party scenario with sub contracting job involved in it.
    There is not much information we have in SAP help. This is ECC6 Enhancement pack 5 feature.
    If any one has worked on this, I need a process flow to understand this process.
    Response is apprecited,

    Hi,
    Here you can treat this two procedures are diffrent
    For Contractor
    Create P.O >> send semifinish goods to vendor
    For sales Point
    Sales order >> PR >> PO >> Vendor invoice reciept >> Customer invoice Issue wrt order.

  • Billing in Third party order process

    Hi,
    In the last stage of TPO Process we need to do billing.kINDLY inform what is the reference document when we want to do billing for a third party order process in VF01, Is it sales order?

    Hi,
    In the Third Party processing,
    You refer the Sales order for creating the Billing document to the end customer
    In the Item category level of the Third party, one field which control the Billing relevance
    If you check the BILLING RELEVANCE for TAS item category, it is F which says, the billing will be based on the MIRO ( vendor invoice)
    In general for Third Party, Vendor will directly send material/Goods to the customer and that notification will be sent to the company.
    If say, out of 10 PO items, Vendor has send only 5 quantity to the customer and we have to bill the customer for only 5 quantities so once the billing is generated it will refer to the invoice quantity of the MIRO
    Hope it is clear,

  • Third party order process- tolerances

    Hi
    our client is facing a problem.
    Normally a SO will be issued and then the PO is created with ref. to
    SO (and with same quantity). GR and IR-L will be booked, then SO will appear
    in billing due list  and customer
    invoice will be created.
    But now If PO quantity and GR quantity are not identical, SO is not appearing in billing due
    list. do we set up any tolerances for these in custozmizing.
    what would be the probable reason for this
    can any one please throw some light on this.
    Regards
    GP

    Hi GP,
    Check the billing relevant of Item category used in Sales order item  . This should tell you what is happeneing in your scenario.
    If PO qty and GR qty missmatch occurs , MM config has to be checked to see if any tolerance has been set.
    If SO is not appearing for billing , then you need to check is SO dependent on your GR or IV for billing.
    Assuming it as TAS item category and BANS item category group and third party ordering process.
    Billing Relevance:
    F     Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice qty  ( Bill after IV done with IV qty)
    G     Order-related billing of the delivery quantity       ( Bill after GR with GR Qty)      
    Thanks,
    Sudhi
