Third Party Order - Not possible to determine a consumption account

Hi All,
I know there are a number of threads on this subject but the answer for me doesn't seem to be here.
The scenario I am trying to configure is around buying and selling software licenses using a Third Party Sales Order process (Item Cat TAS).
My material is set up as a DIEN with and Account Assignment Group of BANS and a Valuation Class of 3200 (service). I'm assuming that as the license key is a notional concept rather than a physical stocked item as such - a service is the more appropriate material type but maybe I'm wrong?
I have entered two entries using transaction OBYC (Maintain FI Configuration: Automatic Posting - Accounts) for Transaction Key GBB:
i) General Modification = blank
ii) General Modification = 'AUF'
... but this made no difference.
Can anyone advise how to resolve this issue please?
As an aside I am not sure how you ever know what entries are required in this table - how can you tell what General Modification values are relevant to any given scenario?

Hi Raja - yes this was useful but I am still having difficulties.
OK - So I can see from your notes that the Account Modifier that I was looking for was VAX associated with the Account Assigment Group of 'X' - good so I fixed the  OBYC - GBB table to ensure I has a VAX - 3200 entry for consumption and it worked - great! BUT ...
I then wanted to get it so that my PO would create automatically so I:
i) Set the Auto PO on the Item Category
ii) Set the ALE paramenters asociated with the Sales Org definition
iii) Set the Auto PO on the Vendor Master
but that didn't work
I wanted to set the AUTO PO on the material master but as my MM was a DIEN this option was not available to me so I created another material that was NLAG (non-stocked) and tried again - this time I marked the Auto PO on material as well but it still didn't work because I am now geti8ng the message "Not possible to determine a consumption account" - Aaaarrrggghhhhh!!!
Everything else remains unchanged - BANS - CS etc.
Any ideas?

  • Not possible to determine a consumption account

    Hi experts,
    I wanted to run a individual purchase order scenario for my client.
    I enter the item in the order screen and change the item category to TAb. After that I am able to enter the Purchase Requisition screen. However as soon as I enter the purchasing group and hit enter, I am taken back to the order screen and I get an error:
    "Not possible to determine a consumption account". Please help with this error.

  • Third Party Orders not appearing in billing due list. Item Cat billing rel 'F' & VTFA Billing Qty E

    I had a requirement to do my customer billing for third party scenario before doing the invoice verification.
    The solution that was proposed was to make the following changes,
    In VOV7 (For TAS )item category the billing relevance should be (G) and
    in the copy control VTFA  at item level  for item cat (TAS)maintain the billing qty(E).
    http://scn.sap.com/thread/3522580
    The problem I faced with the above config change was that nothing was appearing in the billing due list and when I tried to do a billing from the order directly, it would not let me.
    Then I made the following change,
    In VOV7 (For TAS )item category the billing relevance as (F) and
    in the copy control VTFA  at item level  for item cat (TAS)maintained the billing qty(E).
    Now after the MIGO is done based on the PO, the system allows me to do a customer billing from the SO before the invoice verification. But still this SO is still not appearing in the billing due list. Have any of you experts faced the same problem? How can I get this to appear in the billing due list? Or in other words, how do I identify open third party sales orders that are due for billing?
    Thanks and regards
    ES

    @ Joan, in that case invoice verification would now be necessary anymore right? In my case i need the invoice verification to happen...but at a later stage
    With the existing config...i.e. F as billing relevance and E as billing quantity, I now tried doing a MIRO immediately after the MIGO and then it appears in the billing due list. So basically I think its the billing relevance F...and if I want it to come in VFO4 before MIRO, perhaps a tweak in the logic of VFO4 to include billing relevance F + billing quantity E ?

  • Error While creating Third Party order in VA01

    HI
    am trying to create Third Party order in VA01  in my sand box with material ( BANS item category Group)  getting error
    NOT POSSIBLE TO DETERIMINE A CONSUMPTION ACCOUNT in OBYC GBB  i tried to do some setting in VAX , VBR with valuation class 0001 but dont know the exact GL Account . kindly help.

    For VAX, it ought to be similar to what you have maintained in your VKOA setting for ERL Account Key.
    For VBR, it ought to be for Stores & spares-consumed. For this use tcode FS00. In G/L account no., click F4 form your keyboard and provide Stores or spares in G/L long text. Record the G/L acc for Stores & spares based on your requirement and maintain the same against VBR.
    Hope it can assist you or as already mention, take assistance of FI consultant in your team.
    Take care

  • Cost center not populated in Purchase requisition for a third party order

    Hello,
    We are currently testing the Third party order flow which includes :
    1. Creation of a sales order with item category TAS
    2. A purchasing contract is maintained for a sales order item at the schedule line level.
    (In the purchasing contract, account assignment is already maintained for each contract item, meaning a G/L Account and a cost center).
    3. Automatic creation of the Purchase requisition when the sales order is saved.
    >> The account assignment is not copied from the contract to the Purchase requisition. Do you know why and how I can do that ?
    Thanks
    Best regards
    Benjamin

    Hi Palani,
    if i am not wrong This WBS in location or additional tabs are used for settlement purpose. For PR creation by maintenance Orders can have Order number as account assignment.
    Please reply
    Thanks

  • Requirements not passing for third party orders

    Hi...I have a problem that I am hopeful there is an answer to. On the SD side we have third party orders that when entered automatically create purchase requisitions.  Previously, those requirements were passed through and were visible in MD04. 
    We are currently in the process of implementing an external planning system (not APO), however, the users made the decision that the 3rd party orders would not be planned or facilitated in the new system.  So as I set up the MRP type for external planning I have run into a problem.  For some reason I can get all requirements to show in md04 except the third party orders.  Standard OR's transfer, and I can see all other details, but the requriement for the third party order will not.  the requirements did transfer prior to the change of the MRP type.   On the order this has not impacted the schedule line category or the requirement type, so I don't see any reason from that side why they wouldn't transfer.
    Any direction on this would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Brian

    No, the problem is not that requisition isn't created.  The problem is that the information is not being displayed in the planning screens.  It creates the purchase requisition but you cannot see it in any of the MRP screens.  The problem is the visibility in screens like MD04.  It is true, that if the PR is created automatically then a requirement had to be transferred, but I also need to be able to see that requirement.  Thanks for clarifying.

    Hi Viven.,
                        Routes they come under normal order as we deliver the goods,but here in TAS,third party sale we are not delivering the goods,Just there is logical moment i.e MIGO,So i dont think we do routes for TAS

  • Third Party Order Planning with SNP - Forecast not Consumed

    Hallo SAP Gurus,
    I have implemented the solution "Third Party Order Planning with SNP" created by Abhay Kapase in our SAP APO System - please see http://scn.sap.com/community/scm/apo/blog/2014/02/26/third-party-order-planning-with-snp.
    But I have one problem that the forecast is not consumed.
    I have done the following things:
    1. I have activated the business Functions SCM_APO_DRS_PLAN in the APO System and  LOG_MM_OM_2 in the ECC System.
    2. I have done the customiznig in the ECC System: Created the schedule line category D1 and assigned it.
    3. I have done the customizing in the APO System: Created the planning strategy 21.
    4. I have created all the necessary master data in the APO and the ECC System
    5. I have been created a customer order.
    6. The purchase requisitionhas been transferred to the APO System. But the forecast is not consumed.
    Can anybody help me.
    Best Regards
    Dieter

    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

  • Finished goods procurement - Not htrough Third party order

    Hi
    The scenario:
    The client purchases some Finished goods,which they are not manufacturing, directly from vendor, (i.e.) the sale sorder requirement for some Finished goods are directly procured from vendor and they require those items to be receipted back from vendor in sales order stock.Then they will deliver to customer.
    In normal third party order , i think the Sales order triggers back to back PR with Account Assignment for statistical delivery and Item category 'S', third party. In these cases can we have the physical stock of the material in our Storage location in sales order stock and delivery can happen from thereon.
    Please inform me the configuration for the same and any solution to map the process.
    Thanks very much in advance
    regards
    arvind

    hi ,
    this is individual purchase order scenario....
    while creating sales order you have to change item category from TAN to TAB.
    then automatically PR created in sales order...
    that you can see in VA02 ---scheduline category view.
    then you create PO.
    goods receipt.
    create outbound delivery in  VL01N.( with reference to order).
    Create Billing to customer
    otherwise you create material master  as follows.
    material type --- Trading goods.
    General item category--- BANC.
    item category-- TAB.

  • Third Party Order Processing

    Dear All,
    1.Can anyone explain me the term 'Statistical GR' in Third Party Scenario & also why & how we do it (also the Config settings required for the same).
    2. In third Party Scenario we have order acknowledgement & confirmations so how we do this ??
    Do we use the confirmations tab in the third party PO?? ( If yes wat we have to select - inbound delivery or rough GR)??
    Appreciate all the helpful answers.
    Regards,

    hai
    The account assignment category X in the Customizing system of Purchasing determines whether a goods receipt can be posted for a third-party item. Here you define whether a goods receipt is possible, not allowed or compulsory.
    If a goods receipt is possible, the GR indicator in the purchase order item is changeable. When you enter the purchase order, you decide if a goods receipt is to be posted or not.
    You can only enter a goods receipt for a third-party order if the goods receipt indicator is set in the order item
    we are specifying the account assignment category in the third party po as well as the itemcategory
    so the effect of the gr will be to just like consumption
    we will do the gre just like normal gr to post it to the gr/ir account to verify and to settle the invoice to the vendor
    you can use confirmation key as usual to have the confirmations and acknowledgements

    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.
    Goods receipt will be posted when ever the vendor ships the goods to our customer.
    We will do this transaction in SAP using MIGO.
    Invoice receipt is done when the Vendor sends us the invoice.. ( I.e Billing ).
    It can be done using MIRO.
    THe above two steps are standard and manual. There are many other ways that the actual process can happen. If the client follows EDI standards then the Goods receipt and Invoice receipt can be done through IDOCs automatically.
    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.

  • Not possible to determine  consumption account

    Hello Gurus
    Goodmorning  everybody
    The  error  issue:
    when i try to  create  sales order with third party  item  , getting some error " not possible to  determine  consumption account".
    and  i tried to  assign in OBYC   with      0001, GBB,  Trading  account G/L , Debit ,  Credi  A/c  still the problem persists.looking for some  inputs
    Thank you  inadvance
    regards
    venkat

    Hi
    You said initially the error Not possible to determine  consumption account has got corrected with my initial suggestion
    But PR has not got created
    Now you are telling that the error  Not possible to determine  consumption account is still on
    I am now confused about what is your error because based on the error only soln can be given
    Now i assume that error  Not possible to determine  consumption account is still on with all schedule line category settings correctly maintained
    Then do this
    IMG-Materials ManagementPurchasing-Account Assignment----Maintain Account Assignment Categories
    Here choose X and go to its details and make sure that following values are maintained
    1.Consumption posting as V
    2.Account modification as VAX (these are standard settings)
    Now in OMWD check what is the grouping code maintained against your plant say 0001 or 0002 like that
    We will take 0001
    Check the valuation class maintained for your material in MMR accounting view like 3100 or 3200 etc
    We will take 3100
    Now in OBYC double click GBB give your chart of accounts and then enter
    Then for the combination 0001-VAX-3100 maintain necessary debit and credit accounts
    This account gets picked as consumption account in the PR which is getting generated
    I have run this scenario now and able to create a PR without any problem upon saving the sales order
    All the best and keep me posted of the outcome
    Regards

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.

    <b><REWARDS OFFER REMOVED BY MODERATOR></b>
    Thanks

    dear SP
    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,

    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.

    INTERCOMPANY PRICING:
    PI01 Intercompany: fixed amount per material unit
    PI02 Intercompany: percentage of the net invoice amount
    These condition types specify that the price charged by the delivering plant to the sales organization is shown as a statistical value in the sales order and an effective charge in the internal invoice.
    The condition records you create and maintain for intercompany billing are the same kind of records that you create for pricing in general.
    IV01 Inter-company Price ERLOS Revenue

    Stock transfers that include deliveries and billing documents/invoices are only possible between plants belonging to different company codes.
    If you want to carry out a cross-company-code stock transport order with delivery but without a billing document, you must set the Relevant for Billing (data element FKREL) indicator in Customizing of the item type to "blank" (Not relevant for billing).
    The following applications are involved in this type of stock transfer:
    • Purchasing (MM-PUR) in entering the order
    • Shipping (LE-SHP) in making the delivery from the issuing plant
    • Billing (SD-BIL) in creating the billing document for the delivery
    • Inventory Management (MM-IM) at goods receipt in the receiving plant
    Invoice Verification (MM-IV) at invoice receipt in the receiving
    Transfer of goods from one location to another location, it may be between plants within the same company code or in different company code's plants.
    within the company code, but plants,
    receiving plant will raise the STO in Supplying/issuing plant-ME21n,
    Supplying plant will deliver the goods to receiving plants ,
    then we need to pick n post the Goods Issue-VL02n,
    now when we can observe that the STO qty will be added into receiving plant and reduced in Delivering plant,
    To do this, we need do prior customization in SPRO-IMG,-
    material should be created in both plants( receiving & Supplying)
    -maintain the stock only in supplying plant
    -create a dummy customer in supplying plant's sales area(if u have one sales area, create in tat comp code n sales area)
    -assign this customer number to receiving plant's details along with the sales area,
    -Assign the STO doc type(UB) to Supplying plant, along with checking rule
    -Assign the Del type (NL/NLCC) to Supplying n receiving plant.
    *Del type=NL is not relevant for billing, where as NLCC is relevant for billing
