Third party Stock Transport Order

Hi,
We have a requirement as descibed below:
Plants A, B and C are live in SAP and belong to different company codes. The Plant B is the sales office and no production/purchasing happens at this plant. The vendor codes for Plant A & B with respective plant assignment is done and STO configuration for the procurment from Plant A to C and vice versa is set up in the system. Now, the requirement is Plant A intends to procure from plant C (in other words Plant C should deliver to Plant A) but the billing should happen from Plant B. The third party cross company sales is set up for Plant B making a cross company sales order with sales org of Plant B and production plant B for the external customer.
One of the solution is to make the Plant A as external customer of Plant B but somehow that doesn't follow the SAP Business Global Solution of the company.
Kindly advise if any solution from the procurement perspective (stock transport order) could serve the business requirement (Plant C to deliver to Plant A and billing from Plant B). Any kind of development should also be acceptable.
Thanks in Advance,

To add to what Jurgen said:
Why would a second company code be an invoicing party? The business process doesn't make sense.
Also had the Plant C been a part of the same company code of Plant A (Supplying plant), then cross company STO could have easily mapped the scenario, by giving the Plant C as the invoicing party (PI) in the partner function of Plant A.

Procurement cycle in third party order and stock transport order.

please provide me in steps the procurement cycle in third party order and stock transport order.

Hi,
STO Process: -
1.Create a vendor for the company code of receiving plant, using account group :0007 using T-Code XK01.
2. Assign this vendor to Delivering plant
Go to XK02 >Purchasing view>Extras>Add. Purchasing data>Plant
3. Create internal customer with the sales area of the vendor. Go To XD01
4. In Pricing procedure determination relevant to STO, assign document Pricing Procedure and customer pricing procedure appropriate for STO to get the pricing in the invoice.
5. Maintain condition records for the relevant pricing condition.
6. Some more setting for STO: Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Receiving plant >assign customer here & Supplying SA (for billing) to Receiving plant here
7. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Supplying plant and assign the sales area of receiving plant.
8. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > assign delivery Type & Checking rule
Assign the delivery type to document type. In this case, Delivery type NLCC is assigned to Document type NB
9. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > Assign document Type, One step Procedure, Under delivery tolerance
Assign the document type NB to supplying plant and receiving plant
10. After all settings , Create the STO using T-Code:ME21N and maintain pricing conditions of freight and Save.
11. Create Delivery :VL10G
Click on the Background Button after selecting line item
A message is flashed : See log for information> next Click on Log for delivery creation Button >click on line item>click on document button to get Delivery document No
12. Picking, PGI:VL02N
13. Billing:VF01
Save the document and its done
14. J1IIN - Outgoing Excise Invoice
15. MIGO - Goods Receipt against outbound Delivery
16. J1IEX - Capture & Post Excise Invoice
Pricing configuration for STO: -
In SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Conditions > Define Price Determination Process > Define Schema Determination > Determine Schema for Stock Transport Orders > Here assign Calculation Schema "RM2000" i.e. Stock Transfer Document to Schema Grp Pur. Org, STO Type (For e.g. UB) and Supplying Plant.
Calculation Schema "RM2000" has condition type P101 which will pick up the MAP of supplying plant automatically during creation of STO in ME21N ("Conditions" Tab).
You can create new freight / delivery cost conditions in M/06 and assign in pricing procedure "RM2000" in M/08 and also assign the Accrual Key to this and do the Account Determination for this Accrual Key in OBYC
At the time of PGI, following accounting entry will get generated;
Stock A/c - Dr - 110 INR (Receiving Plant)
Stock A/c - Cr - 100 INR (Supplying Plant)
Freight Clearing A/c - Cr - 10 INR (Supplying Plant)
Third Party Process Flow: -
1) MM01 - General Item category Group should be BANS in basic view of material master.
2) VA01 - Creation of sales order with VA01 transaction in SD module
3) When sales order is created system automatically creates a PR for the material with item category as "S"--> Third Party Item
4) ME21N - Directly PO with item category as "S" and delivery address as customer address
5) MIGO - Statistical GR by MM ( When it is made goods are received and delivered)
6) MIRO - Invoice by MM for vendor
7) VF01 - Billing by SD on Customers

To create a stock transport order and third party order

please explain steps to create a stock transport order and third party order with transaction code what are the pre-requisite. related to MM?

First you need a supplying plant. stock ready to transfer for a matetrial which should be created/extended at both the suppling and receiving plants.
The order type is UB
rest of the things are Pur org, Pur Grp, Company Code etc...
The most important part is Vender has been replaced by supplying plant.

Freight Cost in Stock Transport Order

Hello:
We have requirement where we want to include freight charges into inventory valuation of material in receiving plant of stock transport order. Is it possible using shipment cost document of LE-TRA module?
If yes, How can I do it??
Also, I want have different pricing conditions like washing charge, Demurrage etc. These pricing conditions are included in pricing procedure. Can I post value of these conditions in different G/L accounts? If Yes then How??
Also I want to crate a multi dimensional freight rate condition using Distance, Weight. How can I do this?
I will really appreciate your response or any docs you have on this subject.

Hi dev,
We did something similar last week. To charge the freight cost to the receiving party we did a manual service entry sheet for that.
We created a separate Po with Transport vendor and the receiving plant and account type is Z shipment costing and service item description as intercompany freight.
You will specify the limit of the amount here, and specify the G/L account here. Now create the service entry sheet withthe freight amount and settle.
I think you can follow the similar thing with additional lines for your requirement for other charges.
Since we want let the receiving plant pay the freight we didn't create the shipment cost document of LE-TRA.
Let see if any other suggestions comes.

ratna

Stock Transport Order-shipping point not determined

Hi MM Gurus,
We need to set up STO for transferring stock from plant 2000 to 1000. I have completed following setting.
IMG
Enterprise Structure-Assignment-Sales and Distribution-Assign sales organization to company code
Both the sales orgnizations are in same company code. We have only one company code.
Enterprise Structure-Assignment-Sales and Distribution-Assign sales organization - distribution channel - plant
The sales area 1000 is are assigned to both the plants 1000 & 2000 and sales area 2000 is also assigned to both the plants.
Enterprise Structure-Assignment-Logistics Execution-Assign shipping point to plant
Plant 1000 is assigned to sales area 1000 & 2000. Plant 2000 is assigned to sales area 1000 & 2000.
Materials Management-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Set up Stock Transport Order-Define Shipping Data for Plants
For plant 1000 & 2000 cusomer master 56 & 57 respectively are maintained. The sales orginzation for these plants are 1000 & 2000 respectively.
Materials Management-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Set up Stock Transport Order-Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule
Delivery type NL has been assigned to document type UB.
The details of customer master 56 & 57 are as below
Account Group - Sold To Party
Reconcilliation account -121000
Delivery plant 1000 & 2000 respectively
Please note - No vendor number is maintained in these cusomer masters.
Created these plants as vendors
Account group 0007(Plants) and assigned plant numbers in the additional data of purchasing.
Material 251 is created and maintained in both the sales orgnization.
Now when I am creating the STO for transferring goods from plant 2000 to 1000, I am getting error message.
"Not possible to determine shipping data for material 251"
Am I missing something? Some documentation say that I should create a receiving plant as customer in the sales area of supplying plant. If this is true, how to do it?
Also, what is the significance of return vendor (maintaining vendor master in the customer) in this case?
Your any clue will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shekhar

Shekhar,
Customer must be maintained as a shipto as well.
In your STO config settings you don't need a customer assigned to the source plant, unless it will also be a destination plant (e.g. you also intend to execute STOs in the reverse direction, or from another plant).
While looking at your customer (shipto), you will also want to look at Route Determination for this customer. Typically, your route will be defined by customer zone (from cust master), shipping point zone (from shipping point definition configuration), and shipping conditions (customer master). Route will be used during delivery creation to schedule the delivery. Logically, the total duration between Material Availability date to Delivery date of the delivery (picking/packing/load/transit) should be something close to the planned delivery time in the Material Master, in order to maintain consistency throughout the entire planning and execution process.
Don't forget to maintain your STO Purchase req stuff IMG>MM>Purch>PurReq>Set up Stock Transport Requisition.

Intercompany Stock Transport Orders

Hi All,
My current Client's Intercompany Stock Transport order involves 3 Company Codes. The final receiving company code will place STO to the second Company Code, but the Goods will be delivered by the third Company Code.
The tricky part is the Vendor number should be the Goods Delivering Company Code and not the second company code, the second company code is only for accounting purposes.
So what we did, we created VN Vendor, but not assigned the Delivering Plant to this Vendor. Instead we created GS Vendor and assigned the Delivering Plant to this GS vendor and assigned this GS as Partner in Vendor Master.
Now when I try to create STO, only VN vendor's name and address is populating as per Standard SAP Design, and moreover Shipping details are not populating. what we need is GS Vendor's number, name and address should replace VN data in STO Header.
I am quite surprised to know if there is any User Exits available to make this design to work?
I request MM Experts to help me.
Thanks,
Sundar.

Hi Sundar,
I am not fully clear on your requirements.
Let's say you have 3 company codes with different plant codes:
CC A - with plant 1111
CC B - with plant 2222
CC C - with plant 3333
Now, according to what I understand from financial perspective C should do purchasing from B and B should purchase products from CC A.
But what I also got is that from logistics perspective, you would like to make a movement between plants 1111->3333, without going through plant '2222'. Is that what you expect??
If yes, that would be very weird scenario. Because then according to me any financial audit would claim that there was no actual sales/purchases between the companies.
Normally what is done in such case is that both the stock movements as well as financial postings are done between the companies and plants. So that the last PO is against CC B which is represented by Vendor linked to plant 2222.
Of course physically the goods should be transferred between locations 1111 and 3333. And this you can achieve via special delivery note layouts etc.
What I was also involved is automatization of such process. So that after goods issue from plant 1111, there is automatic GR and GI from plant 2222. So that at 3333 there is only manual GR required when goods physically arrive there.
Hope this helps

Problem in creation of STO(stock transport order)

hi all SAP gurus,
i am facing the problem in creation of stock transport order with ME21N code. i m getting the error msg of "Not possible to determine shipping data for material in STO "
i have checked the stock transport order setup in customization. but not getting the clear idea to come out from this problem.
if anybody have the idea of " how to do the customization of stock transport order setup, pls. let me explain.
thnx in advance.
rgrds,
rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
when ur creating STO with UB doc type, then you have to maintain material in both the plants.
Regarding the error which is comming for you, you have to check the settings at
SPRO- IMG- MM-Purchasing-Set up stock transport order- Assign delivery type & Checking rule
here for document type UB and your supplying plant-XXXX select nothing for Dlv type(delivery type) and chr - 01 and after this save.
After this you create STO as you are doing and see what the system is prompting.
For any further clarification let me know.
Regards,
NJ

if you only have to display deliveries and stock transport orders you can take LIKP and LIPS for the deliveries and LTAK and LTAP for transport orders.
for all the other elements displayed by MD04 we would have to know about your setup: are you using dispo-areas (which would populate tables MDMA ...) so in that case please provide more information.

Commercial Invoice and Stock Transport Order

Hello Experts,
My client is using stock transport orders which sometimes results in cross border goods movement. I am not able to find any functionality for creating commercial invoices to be used for these types of shipping.
Any ideas?
rgds
GAR

Hi Gar,
Usually when there is a crossing of borders, it is a movement between 2 different companies code, therefore the intercompany purchase is the usual flow.
If you mean that the flow is between plants of the same company code between different countries, maybe you are talking about "Plants abroad" functionality.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/34/60b1a0ae724effe10000009b38f91f/content.htm
Previously, the plants of a company code had to belong to the country of that company code.
As of Release 4.0A, it is possible to deviate from this rule for European company codes with European plants.
I never had to use this functionality at a customer site, but that sounds like your requirement
Also allows internal billing document for intrastat reporting, so feel free to evaluate!

Minimum order qty for Stock transport orders

Hello
I wonder if there is any way to make the following fields from the Sales org 1 view in the material master to apply on Stock transport orders (ME21N, with subsequent delivery created in VL10B):
Minimum order qty
Minimum delivery qty
Delivery unit
As of now in our system, it only works for Sales orders and related deliveries. But not for Stock transport orders with a supplying plant.
Also, if there is any other way to implement minimum order qty funcitonality and delivery for Stock transport orders, pls advice.
Thanks,
OT

Hello
We are in an intracompany business case. The supplying and recieving plant are in the same company.
The situation is as follows: we are planning all replenishment manually without any involvement of MRP.
What we would like to achieve is the same functionality as of the minimum order/delivery quantities material master fields in the material master.
So when the planner creates the stock transfer order, he keys in supplying plant, material and quantity manually, then the warning message about the minimum order qty should appear.
So far I have not found any way to do this. Any ideas are greatfully received.

Table to See Stock Transport Order Partners

Hi All.
What table can I see the partners defined in a Stock Transport Order?
I've realized that VBPA is just for sales order documents.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
Select the PO's from the EKKO table of DOCU type "UB" which is STO's
Then Select the parters from the EKPA table for the entries of the selected EKKO Po's
Reward Points if it is Useful.

Proforma Invoice (F8) for Stock Transport Order

With regard to intra-company STO, we have a specific requirement:
Referencing delivery document generated using Xn: VL10B (delivery from Stock Transport Order), we create proforma invoice type F8. Subsequently, excise invoice is created referencing the proforma invoice.We need to capture the material cost plus 10 % of material cost as PR00 value in the invoice.
Problem:
However, here comes the problem: condition type PR00 does not come automaticcally in the proforma invoice, though pricing procedure has PR00 condition type. We have to manually entere the PR00 condition type for every line item (a routine calculates 110% of the value once value is enetered in the manually entered condition)
Is it the standard system behaviour ? Any way out?
with kind regards
Muraleedharan.R

Hi,
Have you maintained the condition records for PR00 , if not than you have to enter it manually at the item level .
If your price is same for all the items than maintain use header condition or else at item level you have to enter PR00 item by item.

i couldnt find out the error................................
Here is the configuration done by me......

I m going to create and transfer stock from p2 to p1.
Here i m using stock transport order with billing(SD)
Purchase org for c1:porg1
Vendor for c1,porg1:v1
I assigned plant p2 in additional purchase data of vendor v1.
Sales area for c2:sorg2,ds2,d2
Customer for sales area(sorg1,ds1,d1):cust1
Now i go to mm->purchasing->purchase order->setup for stock transport order
> for receiving plant p1 i assign cust1,sales area(sorg1,ds1,d1)
> delivery type for supplying plant:NLCC
>checking rule RP.
i assigned doc.type UB into receiving plant p1 and supplying plant p2.
Then, in ME21N used doc type UB, these r the errors::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Plz check this link for tht information.
So, basing on this: I have customer 1 and vendor 1 for CC1......
--> Customer 1 is assigned to the receiving plant with sales area1 in setup STO configuration.
--> Vendor 1 is assigned to the supplying plant in the vendor master.
--> My question for u is:
1) In ME21N, in the vendor field u assign the vendor from CC1 or CC2 (Because it says the vendor - external supplier if u read in F1 in tht vendor filed)
Company code , Purc Org, plant all this will be from CC1 in ME21N, right?????????
Material exists in both the plants P1 and P2.......right?????
2) How to configure the inter - company accounts for the billing in sd for this STO scenario.???
Please clarify these things.....
You will be appreciated and rewarded too.

Commitment Item error in Stock transport order

Hi all
I have a stock transport order (STO) for a material non valuated in both sending and receiving plants.
While creation , there is an error with respect to completion of an "committment item" *.
If I input the committment item in STO create transaction in R3 , the STO is saved (permitting blank account assignment for the STO item as intended) and there is no further issue till post goods issue in sending plant or GR in receiving plant.
The problem is however that this STO is triggered from APO and transferred via CIF to R3 while there is no chance to input the commitment item. This results into a CIF error with the STO not created in both R3 and APO.
Is there a way I could bypass this "committment stuff" in this situation?
Thanks in advance
Anton
*The exact error message is as follows;
" No commitment item entered in item 00001 plant < >
Message no. FI311
Diagnosis
The posted document contains at least one company code in which Funds Management, Cash Budget Management, or Project Cash Management is active. Therefore you must enter a commitment item in all involved company codes.
Procedure
Enter a commitment item.
If you cannot enter a commitment item, check with your system administrator that your account assignment derivation is adjusted so that the system can automatically derive a commitment item from another account assignment, or from the G/L or cost element. "

Hi,
Did you try using derivation rule using FMDERIVE in case funds management is active.
Please also refer to the link below which guides on the item category to be assigned in Commitment item.
