Third party logistics (TPL) Urgent

Hello everyone,
Can anyone help me with third party logistics (maintaining). To my understanding from:
"A third-party logistics provider (abbreviated 3PL) is a firm that provides outsourced or "third party" logistics services to companies for part or sometimes all of their supply chain management function. Third party logistics providers typically specialize in integrated warehousing and transportation services that can be scaled and customized to customers needs based on market conditions and the demands and delivery service requirements for their products and materials."(Resource: Wikipedia)
Cont: 3PL manages all the inventory of an organization (Warehouse management), maintaining handling units, packing the finished products, optimize routing and ship the finished products to customers. so, generally they stay next to manufacturing plant and carry out these activities. So, I'm comfortable in MM,WM and LE cycles. Can anyone help me what would be the difference from regular cycles as all the items are shipped through a seperate organization (Third party) . It would be great if some one explains it in the form of a scenario and various configurations involved and process flow (PO, GR and GI)
Hoping for a positive response from you, I take leave
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
I have worked on exactly this scenario at Japanese electronics company in the UK. They used a third party transport company situated next door (in the same building).
The solution is to NOT do anything differently, do NOT use complex third party orders etc. simply use the same process that you would normally use but let the TPL users enter the transactions directly in SAP as if they were your own employees.
They can manage the consignments, deliveries, goods issues etc. they can also manage the stock movements.
You obviously have to be careful with the authorisations but this should all be manageable.
So basically design the processes as if your own users were doing this and just allow the TPL users to post the transactions and view the delivery due list etc.
It sounds dangerous but remember that they are only processing the receipts from YOUR POs and the goods issues for YOUR Sales orders.

Third Party logistics and scenario

Hello all,
I am working on WM and would like to know more about third party processing. i would like to know the WM scenarios in which third party
logistics is used. is there any specific examples for third party logistics. Pl. advise in detail.
Thanks,
Maxx

Hi,
The meaning of Third party process in SAP is that you fulfill the demand of your customer by ordering the goods from your vendor and arranging the shipment from your vendor directly to your customer.
Since in this process your goods won't received in your WH, there's no point in speaking about WM scenario of third party processing.
Did you think of this third party process:

hi
Third Party with Shipping Notification
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.
In this scenario, the shipping notification is entered as a dummy goods receipt in consumption. For this, the customer invoice can be created before receiving the incoming invoice from the vendor.

Third Party without Shipping Notification
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.
In this scenario, no shipping notification is sent by the external supplier. 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.

Third party returns from customer to vendor (Urgent)

Hi,
We have an urgent requirement regarding an issue with third party returns from customer.
The scenario required is as follows :
When the customer returns the goods in Third party proccess the goods should be directly returned to the vendor instead of receiving into our plant .
How can we map this bussiness proccess?
Currently the returns are handled as per the standard SAP proccess ie.,
Customer returns the goods> Return order is created>Return delivery created (PGR)>Credit memo created.
In this case we are receiving goods into our plant .

Hi Shrikant
1. If delivery of goods is the only issue then you can ask customer to make invoice with Invoice to your company address and Delivery address as the vendor address. Practically it is possible.
2. Then you can make corresponding entries in SAP and regularise it.
Thnx
Nilesh

Urgent - STO - Third Party Carrier ex: FedEx / UPS - Outbound Delivery

Hi Gurus,
I am working on an issue in which when an UB/UD order type STO is created, the Third Party shipping-Carrier info. ex: FedEx 1 day, 2 days, 5 days / UPS 1 day, 2 days, 5 days, etc., is entered in the Partner Tab. This needs to be pulled into the NL type Outbound Delivery in Partner Info. Tab Automatically.
We have created the Partner Functions in purchasing with Supplying Plant as Vendor. Also configured the Partner Function of carrier in Delivery -
, After that I have noticed that the Carrier info. is pulled from Customer Master (Defaulted Partner), but not from the PO.
We need the Carrier to be pulled from STO only...into NL type Outbound Delivery.
Please help..!!
Thanks in Advance..

Kumar,
If I understand your question correctly you have a partner in the Sales Order that you want to automatically copy into a delivery that is created in reference to that order.
If this is the case check your partner determination procedures in the Delivery
IMG path: Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Functions > Partners > Set Up Partner Determination for Deliveries
You must have the same partner type defined in the Delivery as you do in the Order.
I hope this helps

hi,
Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales
Customize the third party sales in summary:
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.

Accessing third party jars in Web Start. (Urgent)

hi!
I have developed an application using jbuilder which uses thirdparty jars, i specify the jars in the project properties & the application runs fine , I tried to deploy that application using Java web start ,i copied all the third party jars in the same directory as the jnlp file's directory.
my jnlp file has a tag-<jar href="accessor.jar" />
in the manifest file of accessor.jar-I specified :-Class-Path: a1.jar a2.jar...........an.jar
since the application access the local file system,
i gave <security> <all-permissions/> </security>
i signed all the jar files.
When i deploy the application i get the following exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: a1/StringData
StringData is a class in a1.jar.
thus my application cannot access "a1.jar"
How do i solve this problem?
Thanks
Sudhanshu

The following is the jnlp file:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/AccessorApp" href="A.jnlp">
<information>
<title>Acessor Application</title>
<vendor>abcd</vendor>
<homepage href="A.html" />
</information>
<resources>
<j2se version="1.3+" />
<jar href="accessor.jar" />
<jar href="a1.jar" />
</resources>
<security> <all-permissions/></security>
<application-desc main-class="accessor.DataAccess" />
</jnlp>
I hope Duck Creek Software -JNLP Wrapper solves this problem.

Urgent Warning About Third-Party Batteries!

Canon, Nikon, Sony, and other companies are starting to put code in their camera firmware that locks out third-party batteries in their cameras and chargers. So do not update your firmware if you are already using third-party batteries in your camera. Obviously, these changes make the third-party batteries that Best Buy carries in their stores as well as via part-search/marketplace useless, so Best Buy needs to work on carrying more manufacturer-made camera batteries in their stores as I've noticed that there are many cameras that Best Buy sells or have recently sold which have no batteries available in their stores or only have third-party equivalents available in the stock.

Hi LexMachine,
Thanks for the information, and if accurate it could be concerning for people currently using these batteries. I have also just stuck with the manufacturer's batteries, but can't say I haven't been tempted by the less costly third party substitutions.
Can I ask where you are getting this information? Is there a link(s) you can provide? Not saying it's not accurate, but would like to verify this information.
Thanks,

*URGENT* importing third party package into Jdev project

hi,
our company has bought a thrid party package instead of developing one to speed up the project pace. Some how we cannot import the package into our project environment,
this is what we do with the package.
set the class path to where the *.jar files are, for example: C:\AccBank\beta\creditcheck.jar
please note that the "C:\AccBank\beta\" is where the project file locates.
and follow is the import statement
import thirdparty.package1.*;
please tell us what did we do wrong, if the case in question is not clear, please tell us the steps we need to do to import and use a third party package with JDev.
Also, please tell me the different purpose between the directory :
PROJECTFILES and CLASSFILES under the main project directory
Thank you very much for your time and your help
Augustina

Hello,
I'm not sure about what you mean,
but in order to use a given package within JDevelopper, you should:
- select project/project properties,
- find the libraries tab
- click "add", then "new"
- click "class path"
- click "add ZIP/JAR" and add the various jar files you want to include
Note: if the included libraries contain subpackages of packages like javax, and you want to deploy your project (as EJB for instance) you will have to edit the deployment profiles in order to add the 3rd party libraries, otherwise, these subpackages won't be deployed (by default, packages suvh as java.lang, javax etc.. are not excluded from the deployment).
about the PROJECTFILES and CLASSFILES items, they refer to the directories in which your project's source code (PROJECTFILES) and compiled classes (CLASSFILES) are stored
Hope this helps, Remi

*urgent* importing third party API

hi,
To import the third party *.jar we bought,
I click on
Project->Project Properties->library->add->new
Then I give the APi a name in a the box
Then I click on ... Classpath ->add ZIP/JAR and browse to choose the Jar file to be added to our project.
but then when we expilictely import the
package it is redded highlight
import abc.*;
this line is highlighted and the error message say
Error reading directory D:\thirdparty\JAAdapter.jar bad entry
did I do anything wrong...please help

Hi,
This sounds like your jar file might be corrupt.
Try the following: rename the jar file to JAAdapter.zip and try opening it with a zip utility (e.g. WinZip). If the zip utility reports errors, the Jar file is corrupt.

>
> plz help me solve this
Hi Anil,
To do this you need to define two different material masters for the same material
1) The normal material master say M1
2) Third Party Material master with tem Category Group as BANS say M2
Now while such a case happens you should either create a sales order with 2 line items Line itme 1 will be M1 with quantity 100 and Line item 2 with M2 with quantity 10.
or
Create two sales orders 1 with M1 qty 100
and 2 with M2 Qty 10
However if you want to automate the same you still create two material masters but for automating you will have to write an enhancement which adds aline item to existing sales order or create a new sales order with the remaining quantity in case of no schedule lines.
Hope it helps
Regards
Abhishek
