Trading Partners and Inter-company Customers / Vendors

Can someone explain in greater deal how exactly Trading Partners and Inter-company Master Data interact with each other to allow for inter-company transactions? What types of configuration needs to take place in order to set this up properly and what other things should one keep in mind to configure this properly?

- create trading partners in OX15
- assign it company codes (if entities are in SAP) in OX16; leave it if not
- when vendors/customers are created, assign appropriate trading partners (control data tab) in them
- postings using these customers/vendors would have trading partners on their accounting document automatically
- information is used in consolidation to eliminate intercompany payables/receivables.

Inter company selling and inter company stock transfer?

Hi Gurus,
what is the difference between Inter company selling and inter company stock transfer?

Hi,
Intercompany selling is the sale of goods in one company code to another company code.Here with the settings at OMGN purchasing plant creates PO with document type NB and system will allow to put conditions in the PO .Sometimes transfer price also may take place.Sale plant will deliver the goods at VL10B and PGIs the material at VL02N and bills the customer here the purchasing plant , and purchasing plant receives the material normally posts the sent bill by his vendor the sale plant at miro.
In the stock transfers, it is a normal stock transfer between the plants of a sdame company code , which does not involves with bilkling rather system will allow to put the conditions of frieght only in the PO.As said the the PO will be created with document type UB. if you want to involve the SD do the settimgs at OMGN for document type UB.AND the other prosedure will be same as above.
If not the stock transfer can also be done using mormal MIGO operations of moment types.After receiving the stock will be valuated at the receiving plant valuation.
Do remember that the material should exist in both the plants.

Suggestion on Intra and inter company process

Hi
I have a requirement where we are configuring both intra and inter company billing thorugh one sales doucment type.
Intra :Process:
ORder ---> PR/PO ---> MIGO--> MIRO ---> Delivery. ( Between same company codes)
Inter Process
Order ---> PR/PO ---> Order ( supplying company) ---> PR/ PO ---> MIGO--> MIRO ---> DELIVERY---> IV BILLING.
Now the question is we have same item categories and schedule lines, but for intra there is no billing , inter process IV billing will be created.
can you suggest me with out changing the item categories how we can achieve the automatically.
thanks

Hi JC,
Well, the settings are basically the same for both flows on MM side. There are some settings that differ on SD side, but if you stick to standard delivery types, billing types and item categories, this should be already in place.
To start with SAP standard, you should complete all the steps in IMG under MM > Purchasing > Purchase order > Set up Stock Transport Order.
In the first option you allocate a customer number to the receiving plant (make sure you have the same number in your development system as in production - by e.g. external number range) and a shipping area (sales org. - DC - division) to the sending plant.
In the fourth option you allocate the combination of PO order type and the supplying plant to the delivery type and the avail. check. SAP std uses the order type UB and delivery type NL for intra-company trsp and order type NB and delivery type NLCC for cross-company trsp.
In the last fifth option you define the possible flows - the supplying plant, the receiving plant and the order type to be used (in std - UB for intra-company and NB for cross-company trsp).
The rest should be in place. Maybe only account determination missing.
Actually you can also run intra-company transports with order type UB and delivery type NL if you don't need the cross-company invoicing for legal purposes (e.g. creating invoices manually).
The process for UB orders is PO > SD delivery (trs VL10B) > goods issue for the delivery (trs VL02N), goods receipt for the outbound delivery (MIGO). You can also substitute the SD delivery with MM mvt type 351 (trs MIGO).
In case of cross-company trsp with NB order, two more steps are added; billing in SD (trs VF01 with ref. to the delivery) and invoice verification in MM.
Please tell the forum if any specific questions.

Different sales area for Inter company stock transfer and STO

Hi People,
                       Is it possible to have two different sales area's for Inter company stock transfer and within the company stock transfer. The problem is in below step
IMG->MM->Purchase Order->Setup stock transport order->Define shipping data for plants.
In this step when you define plant as customer, the same plant as customer needs to be maintaind for both STO and Inter company and there is only one entry of sales area possible for this single plant. So, how can the task be achieved.
I want that STO should be carried out by sales area lets say X/Y/Z
Inter company should go through A/B/C.

hi dear,
           It is not possible at all to have two sales area for given Plant in STO.
           What is issue in that u can Transfer any MATERIAL, just need to extend it to given sales area.

Inter-company Posting in F110

Hello All,
I would like to know if there is any standard SAP Program/IDoc which creates inter-company postings while making payment to the Inter-co Customers/Vendors in F110.
For example: Company A and Company B are related to one group. Company B made some sales to Company A. Now Company A has to make payment to Company B. Assuming that all the Trading Partners are set-up properly and Vendor and Customer Master Data has also been maintained.
While executing the APP Run in F110, if the Company A makes the payment, there will be a payment document that gets generated. At the same time, we expect some interco receipt posting in Company B(automatically).
Is there any Standard SAP Program/BTE/ any other solution to meet the requirement.
Thanks & Regards

Hi there
Cross company postings using the standard FI cross company clearing accounts (which is also the way we do it in the travel management) is only possible for company codes in the same country and forming an integrated company liable to sales tax.
In all other cases the scenario should be handled by posting the travel expenses to sales orders situated in the vendor's company code and invoice creation for the other company code responsible for the expenses.
So ideally it should be done across one tax schema and the standard behaviour when posting cross-company is, that all
the tax is calculated in and posted to the leading company code - so this company code is the company code of the vendor.
Moreover the functionality in FI splits the document per company code by creating the clearing accounts 1 per tax code, which also requires the clearing accounts to be posted with tax.
Hope this helps

Intercompany Subledger (IC) - Customers/Vendors Field in Blank

Good morning Gurus,
Intercompany subledger (IC) is not currently getting populated when the company code data is not populated in the customer/vendor master and consequently intercompany customers/vendors line items in General Ledger carry blank trading partner field values. We are trying to develop a new program that fixes this issue using the BADI u2018FB_ICRC_003u2019 but we are stuck there because we donu2019t know how to use this BADI correctly. Is thereu2019s already a fix for this out there, or do we need to code a solution for this?
Thanks so much in advance.
Take care all!

Hello Alexander,
I am sorry that my last post was somewhat confusing.
It is correct that the procedure I described will not fix the original FI documents, i.e. the entries in BSS, BSD, BS*K, BSEG, FAGLFEXA, ... will not get the trading partner populated. This is not possible for documents which have been posted already.
But when you maintain the correct trading partner e.g. for a customer account, data selection will find that account. It will then select all open items from that account - whether a trading partner is contained in the open item or not. It will then fill the trading partner field with the information from the customer account. So the standard functionality already does what you are trying to implement in the BADI method. However, this is not necessary. All you need to do is assign the trading partner in the master data of the respective accounts.
Best regards,
Ralph

Inter company STO-how to reduce the stock where no physical stock is kept in receiving plant

Dear All,
I am facing one issue. Suppose if there are two plants belongs to two company codes A & B.Plant A is in TN & Plant B is in AP (both belongs to two different states). Plant B is the place where no physical stock is kept, it is a place where JJ form & other documents are given to the vehicle to move it to other state. From there it ll move to end customer.
In plant A stock reduce-- inventory credit
                                    COGS----Debit
In plant B stock increase=---Inventory debit
                                         GR/IR--credit
Now my problem is in plant B no stock is kept, my client wants to reduce the inventory automatically without any manual entry (since no stock in plant B)
Can i use MB1A to reduce the stock automatically & what would be the actual entry for that. How to offset the other account which is getting debited against inventory?.
Regards
Subbu.

Hi,
   It seems to be a combined scenario of third party and inter company STO scenario, where you want to send the send the stock directly to your customer. Standard SAP doesnt support the third party scenario for a vendor assigned to the plant. The standard design is well explained in the note: 1918552 - Third Party Purchase in Cross Company STO: error 06769
   If you dont want to update the stock in the receiving plant, use a consumption account assignment category (like K) in the intercompany STO, so that the stock will be directly consumed. But one question - how do you map the goods issue to the customer and the outgoing excise invoice? Could you please share the details.

How to assign more than one inter-company customer?

Hi
I'm new to Inter-company sales process. Recently I configured and tested the inter-company sales process in the system and is working perfectly.
My Question: How can we assign more than one customer as inter-company customers to a sales organisation? In the standard process we are only able to assign one customer at a time as inter-company customer. Could you guide why this is?Does any one ever got such a requirement in project?
Regards
Sanjay

Intra & inter company stock transfer

Hi,
Can some body give me the steps for doing Intra and inter company stock transfer.
Thanks in advance ,
sneha

Hi Sneha,
INter-company Sales:
Material should exist in both the plants (Delivering & Ordering),
Internal customer should be assaigned to the ordering plant ( MM -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Setup stock transport order -> assign the internal customer to the ordering plant and assign the Sales area of the internal customer.
Assign its Sales area to the delivering plant
Assign the document type and Delivery type NB and NLCC
Assign the Supplying plant --> Receiving Plant --> NB
Take the delivering plant and assign the sales area.
Vendor master has to be created and assaign the supply source ( Delivering Plant).
Create a puchase order ME21N ---> Save
Delivery VL10 G ---> Calculation rule (appropriate) --> Assaign the purchase order number here and execute.
Select the Delivery creation line and do the back ground process.
Start the log display and see the delivery document number by the documents button
Goto VL02N --> do picking and PGI --> Then do the MIGO with respect to the delivery document.
Billing (Intercompany pricing conditions should be set).
and
1. Customer No. for the Goods Receiving Plant - OMGN
2. Availability Check- Checking Rule (if necessary) - OMGN
3. Assign a Delivery Type for the Delivering Plant - OMGN (for Stock Transport Orders, NLCC)
4. PO type (which i belive you have done) - OMGN
5. Assign Vendor No. to the Supplying Plant (done) - VK02
6. Assign Customer No. to the Purchasing Plant for the Inter-Compnay Invoice (but you need to assign this to the Sales Organization pre-assigned to the Purchasing Plant),
IMG-SD-Billing-InterCompany Billing-Define Internal Customer No. by Sales Org
***and by the way for the Invoice to work between Cross-Compnay Plants, you need also to have a Sales Org for the Supplying Plant and a Pricing Determination Procedure
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
IV02 Inter-company % ERLOS Revenue
STO:
STO CONFIG:
The following steps have to be followed in order to configure stock transport order between two plants.
1. Create a vendor for the Company code of the receiving plant using account group 0007 via T-Code XK01.
2. In the purchasing data view assign the supplying plant and the schema group
3. Create customer with the sales area of the vendor.
4. The shipping conditions, the delivering plant and the transportation zone determine the route in the STO.
5. In the pricing procedure determination relevant to the STO assign document pricing procedure and customer pricing procedure to get the pricing in the invoice.
6. Maintain condition records for pricing condition .
7. Maintain carrier as a partner in the customer master .
8. In OMGN select the supplying plant and assign the company code and sales area. Similarly select the receiving plant and assign the company code and sales area (The company code to which the plant is assigned to).
9. Assign the delivery type and checking rule to the document type.
10. And finally, assign the purchasing document type to the supplying plant and the receiving plant.
11. Create the STO using T-Code ME 21N and save.
12. Check for release strategy if any and release using T-Code ME 28.
13. Create delivery in background using VL10G.
14. If delivery is created, it is an indication of correct configuration and master data creation.

Inter-Company Sales v/s Inter-Company Stock Transfer v/s Third Party Sales

Hi, I understand the basic business processes between Inter-Company Sales, Inter-Company Stock Transfer and Third Party Sales.
The Inter-Company Sales is sales process between two companies having different company codes. A customer orders an item to Company A which can't be delivered by Company A, so Company A generates PO to Company B which supplies the item to Company A and finally Company A delivers it to Customer.
The Inter-Company Stock Transfer is stock transfer from one plant to another where the plants belong to two different company codes. Now all Inter-Company Sales process covers Inter-Company Stock Transfer process.
Third Party Sales process is process where a customer orders an item to Company A but Company A ca't deliver the item to the customer. So Company A generates a PO to Company B which in turn directly delivers the item to customer. After the goods receipt verification at customer end Company A pays to Company B.
Now looking at the these basic process steps I just want to know what is the basic difference between Inter-Company Sales and Inter-Company Stock Transfer ? Is this something that when there is a need to deliver an item to the customer and not available in that company, the Inter-Company Sales takes place but when there is no customer order but the companies want to maintain stock, the Inter-Company Stock Transfer takes place ? Please clarify based on my above understanding.

Hi
I will explain you with example
Say there are 2 org structures
Company code 1000 sales org 1000 and DC 10 and division is 00 and plant 1000
Company code 2000 sales org 2000 and DC 20 and division is 00 and plant 2000
Now A customer Say X lies in sales area 1000,10,00 and a sales order is created for a material ABCD for this customer X in sales area 1000,10,00
Now if the plant 2000 supplies this material ABCD for this order to the customer X in sales area 1000,10,00 then it is intercompany sales
IF the plant 2000 transfers the stock to plant 1000 ands (then if the plant 1000 supplies to this sales order for customer X) then it is intercompany STO
If the material is supplied from a external vendor directly to the customer X without involving your plants then it is third party sales
Now all Inter-Company Sales process covers Inter-Company Stock Transfer process
No not at all
Both are entirely different
Inter-Company Stock Transfer process doesnot involve Inter-Company sales
Similarly Inter-Company sales does not involve Inter-Company Stock Transfer process both are different
Third party means it is an external vendor not your other company code
All three are different
If a plant belonging to one company code directly makes a delivery for a customer to the sales order created in another company code then it is intercompany sales
the movement of stocks between plants of 2 different company codes is inter company STO
