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:

how to map this scenario?? especially Routes and inbound shipment
regards
raj
Edited by: raj rajan on Jan 21, 2010 2:08 AM

Configuration part:
Define mode of transportation
Define shipping types.
Asssign shipping types to mode of transportation.
Define transportation legs.
Define route here normally we maintain data like whose is arranging transportation, transit time, distance of the route, transpotation planning time.
After that maintain stages in the route, by using transportation legs. Here we need to define whether load transfer, cross border or transportation is carring out between stages.
Define weight in group as per requirement.
You need to settings under SPRO > S&D > Basic Functions > Routes
Hope it gives the required info..
Departure Zone (Departure Country) + Shipping Condition + Transportation Group + Reciving Zone (Receiving Country) = Route Determination
Menupath:
SPRO --> Logistics Execution --> Shipping --> Basic Shipping Functions --> Routes --> Route Determination --> Maintain Route Determination

Cost update for third party and individual purchase orders

Hi,
We went live in around 5 months back. Last month we changed the configuration so that costs for back 2 back purhcase order will be determined from goods receipt & third party purchase orders could be determined from logistics invoice verification. This is working correctly with the new documents which are being created.
We have an issue with the document which are already created and posted. We want to update these existing billing documents so that they can pick the rigth cost. For these old transactions currently the cost is being picked from valuation segment of the material.
I have tried resolving this through reorganization of infostructures & through sdvprsupdate but it does not work.
Best Regards

How to know Delivery Note no. for Third Party sales

Hello Experts,
I am configuring Third party sales process.and got the suffcient help from old posts.But i got stuck in MIGO step.While doing MIGO we have to enter PO and Delivery Note No so where to find delivery note no.?
Another confusion is, In some of the posts in community,for third party sales configuratuion MIGO is one of the step while in other similar posts there is no MIGO step instead they have shown direct MIRO after PO creation so which i should follow ?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Vikal

Do you really just follow what others have posted and do not double check with the SAP documentation and even more important with your business needs and some logical thoughts?
In all our >750 plants is a guy who receives the material that is coming in, he compares the paperwork with the goods and then enters the receipt in SAP.
This is the normal and logical process of a receipt in your warehouse.
And now compare this with a 3rd party sales, where the goods are shipped from your vendor directly to your customer.
The warehouse guy does not get any papers from a truck driver, he can't count any goods before he could do something in SAP, he does not even know about this order. And exact this situation is the basis for the standard design: no goods receipt, just invoice.
And any deviation is made because of some special requirements (legal and country specific, or just because of an almighty finance department which can't understand that some of their requirements do not make much sense in logistics. e.g. mandatory 3way matches PO - GR - IR which is not worth the name if you force warehouse people to make theoretical receipts which physically never happened and cannot be verified.

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

MIGO-Third Party Sales

HI Gurus,
in Third party sales while iam working on MIGO, once i enter the PO number iam getting the error like " check table 169p for plant 'XXX' ".
what could be the reason for getting this error and how can solve the problem,
please suggest
cheers

Hi,
The table T169P is for the Invoice Verification Parameter settings(Set check for duplicate Invoice).
When Invoice came from supplier then system ,how system should behave for duplicate of Invoices whether it should check the duplicate invoice at company code level or check the duplicate invoice on reference number /posting date etc
You can choose whether to activate or deactivate the check criteria of company code, reference document number and invoice date for each company code. The more criteria that you activate, the lower the probability of the system finding a duplicate invoice. The Accounting documents are checked first, followed by documents from Logistics Invoice Verification (only incorrect invoices or those entered for verification in the background).
Please check your configuration for Set check for Duplicate Invoices .
MM-->Logistic Invoice verification->Incoming Invoice--->Set check for Duplicate Invoices
Thanks,
AMIT

Hello Gurus,
In case of automatic po creation from third party order we have attach purchase organization and vendor to sales organization. This restrict only one vendor against sales organization.

For automatic PO at the time of GR following are the prerequisites:
1) In Customizing
a) Auto PO generation must be activated in Mov. Type 101 & 161
b) the plant for which GR is entered must be assigned to standard Pur. Org.
c) Default Document type for PO must be specified in GR ( MB 01)
2) Application - Front end side
a) material must be valuated material
b) Purchasing Info record must exist for vendor , material & standard Pur Org.
c) Conditions in Info Records must be valid.
d) Applicable for stock items & not consumable items
e) you cannot enter any movement in GR block stock

If you ensure all above settings then it is possible to have auto PO during GR.
