Third Party Sales Returns process
Hello All
We have a third-party sales process which is automated i.e Sales order and Purchase requisitions(VA01) are created using the data coming in the incoming EDI file, the Purchase requisition is automatically converted to a Purchase order, the Invoice Reciept(MIRO) is posted and the Sales Invoice (VF01) is posted.
The question is how do we handle the Returns or the Credit process?
Is there a way I can configure the system to create a Returns order which will also update the Pur.Req quantity then the Purchase order quantity or directly the Purchase order quantity. I can then use this information to raise a credit to the Vendor Invoice.
I don't want to just raise a credit memo and update the sales side and leave the purchase side open.
I appreciate your reply.
Best Regards
Rama
Third Party Return Process
Please check this extract from the sap library :
If the vendor grants you a credit memo on a quantity or a value basis, you can then send this credit memo directly to your customer.
The billing type Third-party credit memo (G2S) is available for this. The billing type Third-party credit memo works with the item category TASG (third-party credit memo item). The Billing-relevance indicator F is set in Customizing for Sales for this item category. This means that the cost is not created. In Customizing for Sales, the item category TASG is set at item level in copying control for the billing type G2S (copying control sales document by billing document) as the target item category (source: TAS-> Target:> TASG.)
Process Flow
Create a billing documente with billing type Third-party credit memo (for further information, see the section Creating a billing document in the Billing document). Enter the third-party order as a document still to be processed. The quantities are automatically removed from the invoice.
The above is the process for giving a credit memo which can be adapted for return goods.

Rajesh Banka

ManojDear Manoj Mahajan,
The return process is not supported by standard SAP.
Considering my experience even if you want to get it done through some cutomizations it is not very successful.
Please refer to SAP note 751609 which will give the further details
Hope this helps you.
Do award points if you found them useful.

In Third Party sales order processing how we come to know that the customer
Hi SAP SD Gurus,
In Third Party sales order processing how we come to know that the customer is recived the Goods from the vendor?
Thanks & Regards,
Sreenivas.PFrom a high level view, the behavior should work like this:
- Sales order placed from customer PO via Tcode VA01. Purchase Requisition created upon saving the order
- Purchase order created with reference to Purchase Requisition via Tcode ME21N
- Receive confirmation from vendor that goods have shipped via EDI
- Create invoice receipt to vendor via Tcode MIRO
- Create billing document to bill customer via VF01 -
Third party sales Order processing
Hi gurus,
During Third party sales order processing, Purchase requision has been generated with account assignemnt category 'X',
While converting the Purchase requisition to Purchase order the system is not allowing me to save the purchase order,
As soon as i hit the save button the Pricing conditions are being deleted in purchase order ?
When i hit the save button again System is throwing me out giving a message
System error (error in method PO_CHECK)
Message no. ME816
This is happening only when a purchase order is being created for third party sales order processing.
Has any one faced this issue before, if yes please advise gurus,
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Gopio.Hi
The account assignment category X has been maintained in
schedule line category CS and it is recommended by SAP
Yes perfectly right
SAP recommends only X as account assignment category for CS
If the PR is created successfully then there is no problem with related to SD configurations
The error message is more of an MM error
You need to check with an MM expert why that happens while creating PO from PR
I feel since this happns while saving the transaction there might be some userexit used which may be root cause
System error (error in method PO_CHECK)
Message no. ME816
As per my knowledge this is not a standard error
Because of activation of some userexit this is triggered
Functionally this is a MM area error
From SD side everything is correct

I am not able to locate the full configurations using Search. If any one knows the exact link which clearly states this issue.
Thanks,

2. Create Material u2013 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

Invoice entry - Third party sales order processing
The process is below:
- Trading Company A, enters a sales order at its system.
- Production Company B, makes the delivery to the customer.
- An invoice with respect to the delivery is created from Company A to the cıstomer and another invoice is created from Company B to Company A.
The revenues are posted to the related accounts at both companies. Do we have to enter incoming invoice for the purchase activity to be posted at the related accounts at Company A (trading company) or is creating an invoice from company B to A enough?- Production Company B, makes the delivery to the customer.
- An invoice with respect to the delivery is created from Company A
Comp A will not issue the goods, so you can not create invoice wrt: delivery, It should be wrt: Order.
Once MIRO is done in Comp A: ( which is sent by Comp B against the delivered goods), then only you can create invoice wrt:SO, which is controlled in billing relevance - F Order related billing status according to Invoice (MIRO) quantity.
Go through the threads: Third party order processing in the forum , will help you alot. -
Third party Sales Orders in V.15 Back Order Report
Hi,
Is there any standard setting to incorporate undeliverd third party sales orders in the standard V.15 backorder report.
I need to get the list of third party SOs which are backordered??? similar to drop ship and stock orders (TAB & TAN).As per my knowledge, in standard Third party Sales Orders process,
-On availability check.
-there is no GI.
-no movement type.
-TAS - I Cat - is not relevant for delivery.
The Standard process is
Create Third Party Sales Order (VA01/VA03 - retrieve PR num)* - Create Purchase Order (Display list of PR with ME57 and convert to PO with ME58) - Approval/Release of PO (if required - ME28) - Invoice Verification (MIRO)**
- Billing (VF01/vf04)
The PR number is automatically created in this step.
The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document can only be created after entering the invoice from the vendor.
So, in standard TP sales process, Back order processing is not possisble. If you any other business process scenario, do share with us.
Thanks & Regards

Return process in Third Party Sales
Hi ppl need some help,
In Third party Sales what happens if certain goods supplied by the Vendor to the customer are 'Defective' & are to be returned by the customer.
Does the customer return it to the Company to which he placed the order or he returns it to the Vendor.
How can we configure this process in SAP to settle the billing & issue the credit memo to the customer?
ShilpiHi Shilpi,
third party Return process you can configure like this,
Take return goods from ur customer, Your customer will return goods to you and not to vendor, remember one thing ur cutomer doesnt know who is vendor.
Create CR with refeerence to RE. Because RE will contain that Product and quantity which you ar getting back from the Customer and that you have invoiced the customer.
E.G. If you Sent 2 Quantiy of Materail XYZ at 50 Rs each to the customer, but you Got invoice from ur vendor at 40 Rs Each.
and if customer retuirn 1 quantity u have to return him 50 Rs and not 40 Rs.
So Create CR with respect to RE.
Hope this will help.
Revert back if u need any further help.
Thanks,

Return Sales of Third Party Sales
Dear Guru's,
My scenario is that I have done Third Party Sales with Shipping Notification (Sale Ord - PR - PO - MIGO - MIRO - Cust. Invoice) in SAP System. According to this vendor has delivered the material to the customer but customer found some damage to the material
and now the customer wants to return this material and also required credit for paid amount. So whom should the customer send this complaint (ofcorz to the company) and how the company will handle this return process to provide the credit to the customer.
Company can convince the customer for subsequent free of charge delivery also but tell me how that flow would be in SAP.
I have to map this with correct Financial impacts. Please Guru's guide me on the above scenario and if you need some more input
please ask me. Suggestions are also welcome.
regards,
VojasDear Vojas,
You can ask your client as to how they process practically in this scenario.
You can do...
Create return sales order wrt original SO or Billing doc. --> Create return delivery with move. type 651. So there will not be any accounting doc. created --> then wrt return SO you can create credit memo or if the customer agrees, company can deliver free of charge material
Then
Create Subsequent FOC SO wrt original SO -
Here For this FOC SO, at schedule line VOV6, assign Order type as NB- PR and Item category as 5. So again PR will be created and you can process like normal Third party process. Here you will not bill the customer.
Hope you get some inputs

Hello Gurus
Could anybody give a step by step procedure for How does Returns take place in Third party Sales?Dear Nadarajah,
thank you for your information. But I can only confirm again that officially this process is not supported by SAP. There have been many attempts to bring this functionality into the standard ( as the SAP employee working in this area I know this very well), but there have been always some technical problems or limitations which would do it impossible to release this functionality to the customer. The returns for the third-party order is therefore officially a not supported process at SAP ERP. The SAP note above documents this.
Be careful with workarounds, they can have many critical restrictions or limitations here. I am sorry that I cannot give you a more positive response.
But I hope that this info helps a little bit further.
Kind regards,
