Third party & intercompany

Hello SAP gurus
I have small confusion regarding the thirdparty and intercompany sales.
Could you please tell me the difference between third party and intercompany sale.Inboth the cases the delivering plant is different and goods are deliveried to customer directly .for me the process seems to same .
Thanking you.
Regards
Srikanth

Hi
Intercompany-
Customer orders goods to company code/Sales organization A .A Sales org will accept and bill the order in the system. Company code/sales org B will deliver the goods to end customer and raise an intercompany billing on with reference to delivery. This can happen only after sales org 1 raises invoice to his end customer to whom the material has been delivered by sales organisation 2.
Third Party :
Here the customer orders the goods to the company . So the company orders the vendor to supply the goods to the customer and there by company raises the invoive to the customer and the vendo sends the invoice to the company code
Difference between Intercompany and Third party is Here(In third party) the goods will be supplied to the customer thru outside source where as in intercompany goods will be supplied from the Internal source. Here the intercompany billing is generated as soon as we do the pgi to the customer, but in third party we will bil the goods to the customer after vendor sends the invoice to the company.

Third party+ intercompany STO with billing ???????

Hi Experts.
Would like to take ur inputs.
My Client has 2 Company Codes 1000 and 2000
The 1000 Company code has 2 Distribution Centres- A001, A002.
And Company Code 2000 has 2 Sites-B001, B002.
My Client 1000 Company Code procures on Behalf of 2000 Company Code and sales the Material on a Specific Margin from 1000 Company code to 2000 Company Code.
Site B001( Company Code 2000 ) will raise P.O to Distribution Center A001 ( Company Code 1000 ) and then Distribution Centre A001 ( Company Code 1000 ) will raise P.O to the External Vendor.
a) How Can we inter-Link the respective transactions between Site B001 to Distribution Centre A001 and from Distribution Centre A001 to External Vendor ?
b) Is it Possible to Farward the raised P.O from Site B001 to Distribution Centre A001 to External Vendor ?
Please advice your valuable input on this.
Thanks in advance

Hanumant Nimbalkar,
1. a) How Can we inter-Link the respective transactions between Plant B001 to A001
Plant B001( Company Code 2000 ) will raise P.O to Plant A001 ( Company Code 1000 )
We use the Inter Company stock Transfer with Billing
Partis involved:
1. End Customer
2. Supplying Plant
3. Receiving plant
2. from A001 to External Vendor
Plant A001 ( Company Code 1000 ) will raise P.O to the External Vendor.
We use Third Party process
Process.
1. First Company code 2000 - Plant B001 will raise a P.O to Company Code 1000 - Plant A001
2. The Company code 1000 Receives the PO and Finds it has not stock within its plant
3. The company code 1000 will raise a new PO with reference to PO sent by Company code 2000 to its vendor.
4. The Company code 1000 asks the vendor to deposit the material in their plant site.(by providing plant A001 Address)
5. The Vendor will raise an invoice to the Company code 1000
6. Now From the company code 1000, from plant A001 STO will be performed keeping receiving plant as 2000
7. An Intercompany invoice will be raised by plant 1000 to plant 2000
8. The Plant 2000 after the receipt of the material / invoice will pay to Company code 1000
9. The Company code 1000 in return will settle the vendor invoice.

Cross Company Third Party Sales related problem

Dear All,
I have the following Third Party Intercompany Sales Scenario -
Company Code : A100 -> Plant : T001
B100 -> Plant : P001
Customer : 1001 under Company Code B100
Business Case -
Customercode 1001 of Company Code B100 will place a sales order to Delivering plant P001. Upon saving the sales order a purchase requisition will be generated & subsequently converted to a PO for Delivering Plant P001 from vendor T001 under company code A100.
Vendor T001 will deliver the goods to the customer 1001 with respect to PO & raise an inter-company invoice to plant P001 under Company Code B100.
After that plant P001 will do MIRO & raise the final commercial invoice to the customer code 1001 with respect to the sales order punched at the beginning.
Please suggest what are the steps along with configurations needed to achieve my requirement.
Thanks & Regards

Intercompany invoice not getting created in third party processing

Dear Gurus !
I am facing a problem in creating the intercompany invoice in case of third party order processing.
In our organisation , for any type of sale two billing documents are creared :
1) Commercial Invoice under the co. code for which sales org. is maintained at the sales order bookin level .
2) Intercompany Invoice under the co. code in which plant is maintained which is used at the sales order level as delivering plant.
So, as per the configuration req. for third party processing , i have created Sales order ( with automatic Purchase requistion generated ) , Purchase order creation with reference to the Purchase requisition , goods reciept ( MIGO ) and invoice reciept ( MIRO ) , then billing doc. or commercial invoice ( VF01 ) with the generation of accounting document and finally the intercompany invoice ( VF01 ) .
But i am facing the problem in final stage , that is , intercompany invoice creation .
Error Message : No open billing quantity has been determined .
I have checked the copy control for sales order to intercompany invoice and still not able to resolve it .
Please reply which setting needs to be done for this .
Awaiting your response , that what copy control settings is required .
Thanks .....

Hi Buddi / Mahesh / Kiran ,
It ' s good to see all of your opinion . But my problem has not been resolved .
I am implementing third party processing in my organisation , where the customer is an export customer ( outside India ) . Hence , this is a merchant export .
All the configurations / Customisations have been done for this process .
The process is running fine till commercial invoice , but the problem is in intercompany billing doc. creation.
I am again repeating - Error message : No open billing quantity has been determined.
Explanation of the process :
1) The order has been booked with item category TAS alongwith the item cat. group as BANS for the material used in the order .
2) The sales area is 1020 / 30 / 35 . Here , 1020 is sales org . under company code 0079 , 30 is export's distribution channel and 35 is the division for components .
3) The delivering plant used in the sales order is 1009 which is under co. code 0077. The price / condition record maintained for this material is in USD / EUR as it is a case of merchant export .
4) The purchase requisition is generated automatically when the order is saved . It can be seen at VA02 - > Item details - > Schedule Lines .
5) With the help of this PR no. , i have created a purchase order for vendor which is maintained under co. code 0077 asking for material in plant 1009 which we need to export / supply to the customer.
6) The value of material per piece in the P.O. is coming from the material master record -> Accounting 1 view - > Moving av. Price .
7) Now, the Purchase order is saved . With the help of this P.O. no. , goods reciept ( MIGO )is done .
8) After MIGO , Invoice reciept or MIRO is done under company code 0077.
9) After MIRO , customer ' s invoice is created through VF01 .
Remember : This is an order relevant billing , no delivery or PGI will happen here because the material is not coming into the plant 1009 .
10)The billing document ( order - related billing doc.) is created and the accounting document is also created under co. code 0079 in USD .
Till this stage , everything is running successfully as per business requirement , but i am facing the problem in the final stage , that is creation of intercompany invoice under co. code 0077 which is in INR .
In all other sales document types used in our industry , the process is same , that is : a) Sales order creation b) Delivery and PGI c) Billing doc. creation with accounting doc. under co. code 0079 and finally d) Intercompany invoice with accounting doc. under co. code 0077 and excise invoice creation with reference to intercompany invoice.
In the above, problem is not there becuase orde is delivery relevant , hence copy control is maintained for interco. billing to delivery type.
But in the new process , that is , third party processing , sales order relevant billing is done . so i suppose there will be a copy control for intercompany billing and sales doc. type , but i am not able to resolve it .
Hence , please understand the process before suggesting .
Thanks and awaits reply........

Order and Third Party Related Intercompany Billing

Dear All ,
I am facing a problem in creation of third party order relevant intercompany billing .
We have created commercial invoice from one co. code , but not able to create interco. invoice on the other co. code .
Error message while creation of intercompany billing : No open Billing quantity has been determined .
In our organisation , two co. codes are used because under one co. code sales is booked and under other co. code plant is entered .
Hence , there is an involvement of commercial billing ( order related ) and intercompany billing ( which is also order - related ) .
Help which customisation needs to be changed / amended to resolve the issue .
Thanks .

Hi
Check item category TAS as billing relevance Fif you do MIGO and MIRO, you can bill the quantity

Order Related Intercompany Billing - Third Party Order

Dear all,
I have configured intercompany billing that is based on the delivery and i have done that successfully, then I tried the third party process but after billing the third party order then the intercompany billing doesn't show up in the vf04, I have searched the SAP Notes especially SAP Notes 63459 but I really haven't got the clue how to do that clearly, if somebody can help me how to configure the intercompany billing for my requirement. I'm using SAP 5.0. I believe something missing in the copying control between sales document and billing document and also for the output type.Please help me very urgent.

hi,
Customizing settings are reported in notes 338922, 109254 and 308989.
During delivery creation the LIKP fields VKOIV/VTWIV/SPAIV/FKAIV/PIOIV/FKDIV/KUNIV must be filled in program FV50XFLK_LIKP_FUELLEN_IV_UML. If you checkt this table and not all of these fields are filled, you have the wrong the customizing. If the error is in your pruduction there is a report with which you can correct the relevant deliveries (of course after correcting your customizing): see note 176476.

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.

Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party s

Hi Gurus,
Give me the Configuration steps for intercompany billing and third party sales and give me a brief description with examples.
Regards,
YSR

Dear YSR
Check the links
[Cross Company Configuration|http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/500/Documentation/J62_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc]
[Third Party Without Shipping Notification|http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/html/J55_ThirdPartyWOSN_EN_US.htm]
Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1)
After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always followwing a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procument type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurment ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to confugure the item category determination
ord type + item cat grp + usge + Hiv level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN . + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevnat for billing indicator as F
Step 4)
The schedule line cateogry for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requision order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requiesion.

Third party PO - Intercompany

Hello,
I need to know if third party PO is applicable to intercompany process.
I will try to explain:
One of my plants buy to vendor a stock material, but the receipt will be made in another plant.
The vendor bill to the buyer plant and dispatch to the second.
Then, the first plant bill an intercompany invoice to the second plant with a specific margin.
Please, be noted that both plants are in the same client.
I will be very appreciated of your comments on.
Best regards,
Hugo.

Hi Hugo,
we have an official process for that I think. It is discussed in the course SCM680 as "The Cross-Company-Code Sales Process". If you or somebody at your company have access to service.sap.com/trainingcontent, you can get some details there.

Third party n intercompany billing

Dear All
Is Third Party and intercompany billing is same.
Thanks in Advance
Annie

No. Both are two separate process.
Incase of Inter-Company Billing, the same group company is being billed, where as in case of third party billing, our company bills an external customer. Configurration & process for both are very different.
For additional information on the same, please refer to link below:
Link: http://help.sap.com/
Path: SAP Best Practices --> Baseline Packages --> Based on SAP ECC 5.00 --> Select Country: for eg, Localized for India --> Technical Information --> Building Blocks --> Select Country for eg, India --> List of Basic Configuration & scenarios will be listed.
Select the required basic configuration / scenario. These will consist of overview, configuration guide, business process, master data &so on ...........
Additionally, Third Party Scenario can be configured in two ways:
1. Third Party with Shipping Notification
2. Third Party without Shipping Notification.
Similarly, Even Inter-company scenario can be mapped differently.

Saty ItcGrp Usg HLevItca Dfltc mltca

Intercompany Third Party Subcontracting

Hi everybody,
our case is an Inter company third party subcontracting.
Plant A in company code 1000 sends Component X to Plant B in company code 2000.
Plant A asks his third party to send Component Y to Plant B.
Plant B assemble X and Y and deliver finished material Z to Plant A at last.
I proposed SAP standard scenario for third party subcontracting:
1- plant A creates PO (item category L) for material Z and vendor = 'Plant B'.
2- Plant A do transfer posting (ME2O) component X to Plant B. so X would be provided to vendor.
3- Plant A creates PO (third party) for component Y with delivery address = 'Plant B' and also set Plant B as SC Vendor.
4- when Plant B receives component Y, informs Plant A.
5- Plant A do GR based on PO ( third party). so component Y would be provided to vendor.
6- when Plant B sends finished material Z to Plant A, Plant A do GR based on PO (SC). SAP receive Z and consumes X and Y right off.
the Project team didn't accept my scenario for 2 reasons:
1- it is not sap best practice for intercompany subcontracting.
2- they said there is an extra GR in my scenario.I mean when plant A creates PO for third party, and Plant B do GR, the components must be provided to vendor Auto, and there is no need to do GR in plant A place.
please help me.
Does really SAP has another scenario for intercompany third party subcon?

you totally miss the production part in plant B.
if your plant B produces material, then they usually do this in the PP module via production or process orders. they have to record the machine ours, the labor , the have to plan etc etc.
How can plant B take the material from subcontractor stock which is just special stock in plant A? What movement type does plant B use to send the produced material to plant A?
Subcontracting via the purchasing module is used for external processing.
You better do standard stock transfers and production instead of the subcontracting process.

Plz requesting kindly for screen shots of intercompany and third party sale

Hi btothers,
Am into new project where we have intercompany sales and third party sales ,can any one plz send me with step by step screen shots to my mail id [email protected]
Thanks & regards,
srinivas

Hi Srinu,
Please find below the complete Documentation on Third Party Sales and Intercompany Process.
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.

Third party order processing is as follows:
Assume three companies X, Y and Z
X - The company,
y - The customer
Z - Vendor
When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.
If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:
Method 1) After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.
Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods
Z produces the goods and supplies to X
X receives the goods from Z
Then X delivers the same goods to Y.
After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.
Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.
This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.
The other method is a Third party order processing method:
Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.
X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.
Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.
Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgement and invoice to X.
After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.
The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y
Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.
This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.
There are few steps that have to be configured to enable the system to function as mentioned above.
Step1)
If you are always following a third party process for a material then you have to create the material using item category group BANS.
The procurement type should be marked as External procurement (F) in MRP 2 view of the material master record.
if you are not always allowing third party order processing then u can create a material master record with item category group as NORM and the procurement type should be marked as ( X) meaning both types of procurement ( in house manufacturing and external procurement).
Step 2)
the item category in the order should be manually changed as TAS.
For that you need to configure the item category determination
Order type + item cat Group + Usage + High level = Item cat + Manual item cat
OR + NORM + + = TAN + TAS
OR + BANS + + = TAS
Step 3)
make sure that during the item category configuration for TAS you need to mark relevant for billing indicator as F
step 4)
The schedule line category for this type should be CS.
make sure that you mark subsequent type as NB - purchase requisition in this schedule line category as this will trigger the purchase requisition order immediately after the creation of the sales order and the PO to vendor is created against this purchase requisition.
Intercompany Process:
Go through the explanation given below with test cases.
Business case: -
Customer orders goods to company code/Sales organization A (Eg.4211/4211).Sales org 4211 will accept and punch the order in the system with sold to party as end customer code in the system. Company code/sales org B (Eg.4436) will deliver the goods to end customer and raise an intercom any billing on 4211 with reference to delivery. This can happen only after 4211 raises invoice to his end customer to whom the material has been delivered by 4436.
SPRO Customization required:-
1. Assign plant of delivering company code (Eg.SI81) to sales org/distribution channel combination of ordering company code (Eg.4211/RT)
2. Maintain intercom any billing type as IV for sales document type OR
3. Assign Organizational Units By Plant (Eg.SI81/4211/RT/11)
4.Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization (Eg.4436 will create customer master for 4211 company code and that number will be maintained in this relationship:-4211/231)
5. Automatic posting to vendor account (Optional)
6. Maintain pricing procedure determination for 4211/RT/A/1/RVAA01-For customer sales and billing
Maintain pricing procedure determination for 4436/RT/A/1/ICAA01-For intercompony billing
Master data to be maintained:-
1. Create end customer master in company code/sales org 4211/RT/11
2. Create customer master for 4211 company code/sales org in 4436/RT/11
3. Maintain PR00 as price for end customer-Active in RVAA01
4. Maintain PI01 as price which has to be paid to 4436-Statistical in RVAA01
5. Maintain IV01 as inter-company Price-Active in ICAA01
Process:-
1. Create OR with sold to party as end customer.
2. Plant to be selected is delivering plant belonging to different company code. With this selection system will treat this order as intercomany sales.
3. Pricing procedure is RVAA01
4. With reference to this order delivery will be created from the delivering plant and post the goods issue for this delivery.
5. Ordering sales org will create billing document F2 with reference to delivery for end customer.
6. Delivering sales org will create intercompany billing IV with reference to delivery document.
