Third party process:Billing relevance 'B' order related and 122

I am facing the following problem: in Order related Billing according to order qty, the sales order bills what has been received on the third party PO in MM.
The following situation occurs: When I order 100, receive 100 and Bill 100: The sales order is fully billed. When I later return a quantity to the vendor in MM with a 122 referring to the PO, the sales order remains fully billed. There is no way I can find out which Sales order needs to be take action on (credit). Can someone help me finding out how I can select these sales orers after a 122?

Ok, no problem.
At the client we have a very specific flow where receipts on a third party PO need to be billed daily when they happen and every receipt (better: any goods movement) needs a seperate billing document.
This is not covered in SAP standard. I wrote a program (functional) how SAP should find the billing relevant movements:
1) Go to the billing due list daily at 0:00
2) Check all related third party PO's and the movements
3) Check the sales flow of the relevant SO. Check which material doc has been billed (via reference field in the billing doc)
4) For all items not yet billed call function module GN_INVOICE_CREATE. (bill in case of 101 and 123 and credit in case of 102 and 122)
This works all fine until I found above issue: Fully billed items are removed from the billing due list even if there is a 122 or 102 afterwards on the PO. So I redesigned the program.
1) at 0:00 Select all movements on the system date for the specific flow (PO type and plant) via Material documet header and segment.
2) Via the account assignment in the material doc you have the Sales order. Then the same applies:
3) Check the sales flow of the relevant SO. Check which material doc has been billed (via reference field in the billing doc)
4) For all items not yet billed call function module GN_INVOICE_CREATE. (bill in case of 101 and 123 and credit in case of 102 and 122)
Here I am not using the due list and it solved my problem.

Problem in third party processing billing document

dear all,
I am facing problem in creating the billing document for third party processing.
The error is : Item category ZEXM TAS cannot be invoiced by using billing type ZFAZ.
I think the problem is in copy control for billing document item . Kindly tell the solution.
Thanks...

Dear Buddi ,
Now , the billing document is getting saved after changing the copy control for item category.
But , the system is giving error ( The accounting document is not generated ) .
I have checked all the settings in VKOA against the account keys maintained in pricing procedure for this merchant exports case.
One another problem related to this issue is : Which setting is required to capture the Price maintained in item - > conditions at the VA01 level in EUR or USD . I have maintained the condition record in EUR in VK11 , but still while making order , the error is coming mandatory condition type ZBPR( Basic Price ) is missing .
Awiating your response .

Third party process with Valuated sales order stock

Hi All,
We have third party sales order process with valuated sales order stock. The problem is that in the theird party PR which is triggered directly from the sales order it determines a stock account which is assigned to the BSX key in OBYC.
But since this is third party processing as per my understanding a consumption account assigned to key GBB-VAX (since account assignmnt category is X) should get determined, so that when the GR is done against the PO a consumption posting is done in the background.
I am not able to understand if the system is determining the stock account due to the fact that it is valuated sales order stock and if so, what should happen after GR. Should we have a stock created for the material which is physically directly delivered to the customer?
Regards,
V S

Hi,
Check GBB-VKA which is defined in OME9 for your ''E'' Account Assignment Category that SAP will debit upon GR posting
Also check "X" GBB-VAX and the G/L account assignment in OBYC
The posting on GR should be debit KBS -Credit GR-IR
Thanks

Third Party Process (PR through Sales Order)

Hi all,
I have to configure the third party scenario (PR through Sales order) for one of my client.
So can anybody tell me what are all pre-requisite / settings from the configuration point of view as well as from the transaction point of view.
Thanks
Shubham

Hi,
here is some stuff regarding third party purchasing,
may be it will use ful,
u2022     The item category group (BANS) in the sales:sales org.data screen of the material master controls whether or not the material will always be a third party material. In this case, the item category in the sales order will be defaulted to u201CTAS.u201D   If the material is also procured internally, then the item category group can be set to u201CNORM,u201D and the material can still be used for third-party processing if desired.
u2022     The item category in the sales order (TAS) informs the system that      procurement data must be maintained for the order. In addition, this item category results in a purchase requisition being automatically created with its item   category defaulted (S).
u2022     The purchase requisition is created as a result of a sales order. For each schedule line (quantities for sales orders broken up by dates of delivery), a purchase requisition item is created, provided that the item category on the
sales order is u201CTASu201D for third-party. The purchase requisitions created can
be viewed and even edited from the schedule line screen (Edit-
Procurement Details).
u2022     Changes in quantities, dates and account assignments in the purchase order result in the automatic changing of the sales order.
u2022     A desired vendor (informational field) can be specified in the sales order in the procurement data for the order. In addition, a fixed vendor may be assigned in this data if known at the time of the sales order. This then becomes the supplier for the third-party items. If the vendor is not specified in the sales order, the purchase requisition goes through the normal source determination.
u2022     The account assignment in the purchase requisition can be either the sales order (C), or aux. account assignments (X).
u2022     Once created, the third-party purchase requisition follows normal
purchasing procedures.
u2022     Customer delivery information is copied onto the purchase requisition from the sales procurement data.
u2022     If you create delivery schedules or change quantities during the purchasing process, these automatically get copied back to the schedule lines on the
sales order.
The goods receipt indicator can be found in the purchase requisition which can be edited from the sales order (Click on Item line- Hit Schedule Lines button -Hit Purchase Requisition Button). This indicator determines whether or not the customeru2019s goods receipts are monitored. When the indicator is off, invoice verification is done against the purchase order quantity, and the delivery of goods to the customer is not input into the system

Billing experts: Combining order related and deliv. related

Hello Billing experts,
I am just wondering if it is possible at all to combine order related and delivery related to ONE billing document (one DMR and one delivery note with the same payer).
Or do we have to use Invoice List? I can't make it work.
Same payer, same Payment Terms and different pricing procedures(with RL00). What other fields that must have identical values, so the billing documents will be grouped in the invoice list?
Thanks alot in advance!
Best Regards,
Tuan Vo

Hi Tuan Vo
Since there are many other criteria, its not a viable Solution to combine, order related and delivery related to one billing document even though its possible in SAP.
The following prerequisites must be met for a Single Invoice from Delivers and/or orders:
1) the header data appearing in the billing document must agree
2) the split conditions specified do not apply
As you see, the Delivery related Invoice has always a pre-checking with the Goods Issue status where as Order related doesn't have to.
Hence Invoice lists is the option given by SAP.
However, with an intelligent Copy Control routines between the documents should do the trick.
The system combines documents with the same customer number, proposal billing type and sales organization, and attempts to include them all in the same billing document. If the preconditions are met, then a single invoice is created for the deliveries and/or orders.
Note that When creating several billing documents, user exits can be used to reset the header data, so that more can be combined than in the billing due list and later combine to single document.
There are other fields like Material Group, Billing Dates, Billing Document Type, Item categories which can force for an Invoice split.
Please let me know if it helps.

Third Party process - billing date change in Sales order / Customer Invoice

Dear Friends,
In Third Party Sales Process , as we are aware billing is order related billing and it will become due only after vendor invoice is received.
               My situation is in the original sales order billing date is eg: 01.02.2009 . The subsequent vendor invoice ( Invoice receipt done based on PR --> and PO) has a later date eg: 05.02.2009 .
This means that the customer biling can be done only after this date.
How the system behaves in this case wrt to the billing date ( 01/02/2009) of the original sales order.
Regards
Mahesh
Edited by: Mahesh sap on Feb 4, 2009 8:55 AM

Hi all ,
         Thanx all for your responses . But my case is a bit peculiar . Here the vendor invoice is coming by IDoc through EDI . When EDI flow is confirmed, the billing date is pushed ahead. As per billing calendar in CMR the customer can be invoiced only on the last date of the month.
As a result if the original billing date in the sales order is Feb end, when vendor invoice received through EDI , the billing date is shifting to march end .
Is it because the date of vendor invoice is causing this? Obviously the customer billing date falls only after vendor invoice date.
Regards
Mahesh

Third Party Sales - Billing Error - Sales Order- PR- Contract- PO

Dear Experts,
I came across this scenario where the order related invoice was not getting created.
Regular Scenario : Sales Order ->PR->PO->MIGO->MIRO and SD Invoice : This is working absolutely fine.
New Proposed Scenario : Sales Order -->PR->Contract->PO->MIGO->MIRO and then SD Invoice. The problem is that in document flow of the sales order, the PO created with reference from the contract (contract is created with reference from PR) is not showing up in the document flow. Since it is not showing in the document flow, the qty to bill is zero (billing relevance is F). The log in VF01 tells that there is qty to bill.
Can you help.
Regards,
AHD

Enter PR no In PO while creating it with refereence to contract. Po will get updated in SO doc Flow.
In future do not convert PR into contract as it does not have scdedule lines to be sent to vendor, you need to release po for it to send schedule, as the result there is break betwween relationship chain as PR no is not copied into PO.

Third Party Process ASN

We have configured a third party process for specific sales orders. We receive an inbound ASN with shipment information and then we create the outbound invoice, directly from the sales order, after we post the inbound invoice. Is it possible, and how, to create an outbound ASN, from our system to the end consumer, based on the information in the inbound ASN? We would prefer not to create an outbound delivery document in our system and would like to generate the outbound ASN off the outbound invoice or the original sales order.
Thanks for the help.

Ship to party and vendor relation in third party process

Hello Experts,
I need your precious suggestions on my business requirement.
When we create the third party sales order system creates the Purchase Requisition and further PO is created through purchasing department.
Suppose in my third party sales order I have two items X & Y, and both need to deliver at two different ship to party XXX & YYY respectively. in order system determine plant 1000 for both materials based on plant determination (CMIR >> CMR >> MMR) and system generates PR.
I know while converting the PR to PO system check Source list (ME01) to determine the vendor. my requirement is I want to determine Vendor based on ship to party in sales order. suppose ship to party locations for XXX and YYY are Bangalore and Pune respectively and in both place we have different vendor. Both vendor manufacture product X & Y. so I want system should pick the vendor according to ship to party.
Is there any relation between ship to party and vendor which will work in third party processing ?
Kindly explain how I can achieve this requirement.
Thanks,

I doubt this can't be achieved by SAP standard functionality. You may need to use user exit. Check Third party to purchase req user exit or purchase req user exit to fulfill the requirement.

PO based billing in third party process

How can the Sales Billing be based on the PO net price in a third party process?
The copying requirements are set up with price source A = Purchase Order
And the pricing type is = C (copy manual and redet. others)
The billing quantity is = E (GR based)
...but still the billing net value seem to be taken from the sales order and not from the PO?
We want to bill the customer whenever we have done partial goods receipts for the PO item.

hi,
in standard you have only limited possibilities (it's working only for VPRS).
Let's say your condition is PR00 in the PO. If you wan't this in your billing document, you have to have it in your pricing procedure in the same line, with the same name and same text:
PO
n. 1. PR00 standard price
invoice
n. 1. PR00 standard price

Requirement to bill customer before vendor invoice in third party processing

We have a requirement to bill a customer before the vendor invoice in third party processing. The reason behind this is because the vendor send invoices only once in a month and the customer cannot wait for so long to to receive their invoice from the business.
I saw some discussions that the third party processing with shipment notification can be used however when I check the business flow in that case I see the following.
A Third-Party Sales Order is created and a purchase requisition is generated automatically
A list of purchase requisitions to be assigned is displayed
The assigned purchase requisitions are converted into purchase orders
The purchase orders are approved
A statistical goods receipt is posted
The vendor invoice is verified and posted
The billing is created
It clearly says that the customer billing document is only possible after entering the invoice from the vendor. Which would be the best way to fullfill this requirement?

Do you mean the goods issue done by the vendor to the customer in the vendor system? And this quantity will be copied into our ( where the third party order is created) system?
No, MIGO done by in our company system only. May be you might have misunderstood because of my sentence.instead of company i mentioned as Vendor.
For Vendor this process will become as standard sales and he will do PGI. However in our system we do MIGO .
Suppose the customer ordered 10 Qty. Vendor delivered 2 Qty wouldn't the above equation Order qty- MIGO qty= Invoice qty be 10-2= 8? but we should be really billing the customer only for 2 right?
No you have mistaken my idea, it was not a formula just i was giving example.
Billing qty is nothing but it is qty copies from source document to target document.
E
Goods receipt quantity less invoiced quantity
for example order qty is =10 and vendor delivered first time 2 qty to the customer and he billed our company for 2qty and we billed the customer for 2 qty.
And next time let us assume again Vendor delivered 4 more qty and billed us 4qty.And this time when you are billing the customer in VF01 system will propose the 4qty only( total goods receipt qty 6 - already invoiced qty 2).
Hope now you understood the meaning of E(goods receipt qty less invoices qty).
And did you try your requirement as mentioned in my first reply?
thanks,
Srinu.

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........

Third party scenario billing error.

Please suggest me further.
Rabi

in your process you missed the invoice from your vendor
F: Order-related billing doc. - status according to invoice quantity
Relevant for order-related billing documents based on the invoice receipt quantity (third-party business transaction). The system transfers the order into the billing due list only after the vendor invoice has been received and processed in the purchasing department. After the receipt of each invoice, a customer invoice is created for the quantity that appears on the vendor invoice. The order has status "Billed" until the next vendor invoice is received.
The process is followed : Sales orderu2014PRu2014POu2014Inbound delivery (shipping notification)u2014GRu2014invoice from vendor - Invoicing the customer .

About third party process

hi friends,
in third party order processing what is the need of creating purchase requisition, cant we create purchase order with out refrence to puchase requisition?
Thanks and regards
sudhakar

hi
Yes, wat you said is correct we can create PO with Reference to PR.
In some situation we need to show this information to the auditing people ( Internal Process ) for that they need to show the reference doct, beacause of this order only we are created PO..
And also one more scenario
One customer is palcing material for 100 item but we have only 80 in that case we need to deliver the good the customer from our third party vendor in this sitution also we need some refrence document which is linked to Our Order..
Because we need to create PR
Ihope it is clear, Rewards if it is Usefule
