Why Assign Organizational Units By Plant in Inter company Sales

Hi Friends,
In Inter company Sales why we assign Sales area to Delivering Plant?
1. What is the use of it in technical point of view?
2. If not then what will happen.
Kindly Regards
Arun

By assign, we mean in SAP configuration what is the sales route authorized by the company. This is a very important step of a company's set-up.
In most situation, Plant may be the same as Company code or Sales Org. In some situation, there may be 2 plants to assign to the same sales area.
Plant is a location where material stock is kept and could, for example represent a production facility in the system.
MM is primarily concerned with the material flow. From a MM point of view, a plant is, above all, a location where material stock is kept.
In production, a plant can represent a manufacturing facility.
In Sales and Distribution, a plant represents the location from which materials are distributed and services are provided and corresponds to a distribution center, The relevant stocks are kept here.
The plant has a central function in SD:
- To use the SD functions in system, you need at least one plant.
- Each plant is uniquely assiged to a company code.
- A plant can be assigned to serveral combinations of sales org/distribution channles, and vice versa.
- The plant is essential for determining the shipping point.

Inter Company Sales & Billing

Dear All,
Could you please suggest while configure the inter company billing. I has search in our forums. Some what i understand but still i have some doubts on experts explanation. Could you please help me on Inter companysales & billing config & customization process step by step
Thanks in advance

HI
Definition:
A company arranges direct delivery of the goods to the customer from the stocks of another company belonging to the same corporate group.To put in simple terms, Company code A orders goods through its sales organization A from Plant B belonging to Company code B. It is imperative that both Plants A & B should have the material. In other words, the material is created for both the Plants A & B + their respective storage locations.
Sales Organizations and Plants are uniquely assigned to Company codes. It is not possible to assign either a plant or a sales organization to more than one company code.Sales organizations and plants assigned to each other need not belong to the same company code.
In other terms, a plant belonging to Company code A & assigned to Sales Organization A can also be assigned to Sales Organization B of Company Code B. This enables cross company sales.
PARTIES INVOLVED
1) End Customer 2) Ordering Company code 3) Supplying Company Code.
End customer:
Customer who orders goods from the ordering company code.
Ordering Company Code:
Which orders goods from Plant belonging to Supplying Company code through its sales organization and bills the end customer.
Supplying Company Code:
Supplies goods from its plant to the end customer specified by the ordering company code and bill the ordering company code.
CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
Assign Delivery Plant of the supplying company code to Sales Org + Distribution channel of the Ordering company code in the Enterprise Structure.
DEFINE ORDER TYPES FOR INTERCOMPNY BILLING:
Menu path: IMG/ SD/Billing/Intercompany Billing/Define Order Types for Intercompany billing
Assign Organizational units by Plant:
Menu Path: IMG/ SD/Billing/Intercompany Billing/Assign Organizational units by Plant.
Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization:
Menu Path: IMG/ SD / Billing/ Intercompany Billing/ Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization:
Creating / Showing Ordering Sales Organization as Internal Customer for Supplying Company code:
Transaction Code: XD0
The ordering sales organization is represented as Internal customer of Supplying company code.
We need to create customer master in Account Group u2013 Sold to Party and maintain minimum required financial & Sales Area data.
This internal customer number has to be assigned to the ordering sales organization. Hence, the system automatically picks up this Internal customer number whenever there is Intercompany billing.
PRICING:
We need to maintain two pricing procedures RVAA01 & ICAA01. Pricing procedure RVAA01 represents condition type PR00 & any other discounts or surcharges that are meant for end customer.
We assign Pricing procedure RVAA01 to combination of Sales area (Of Ordering company code) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure of Sales document type.
This pricing Procedure (RVAA01) is determined both at Sales Order level & Billing processing for the end customer.
We maintain PR00 condition type to represent the ordering company codeu2019s price to the end customer.
Condition records for PR00 are maintained using organizational elements of Ordering company code, end customer & the Material.
Eg: Sales Org. of Ordering company code + End customer + Material.
We also need to maintain PI01 condition type to represent costs to Ordering company code (in other words revenue to supplying company code). It is statistical condition type & meant for information purpose only.
Condition records for PI01 are created with the following key combination:
Ordering sales Org + Supplying Plant + Material
Pricing Procedure ICAA01is determined at Intercompany billing processing level.
Pricing Procedure ICAA01 u2013 Pricing Procedure for Inter company billing is assigned to the combination of:
1) Sales Area (of supplying company code) + Document pricing Procedure of Billing document type IV + Customer Pricing Procedure of the Internal customer.
Pricing Procedure ICAA01 has condition type IV01 that represents revenues for Supplying company code in the intercompany billing.
PR00 condition type also appears in Intercompany billing document. It is for information purposes only and does not have bearing on the value of the document.
PI01 represented under pricing procedure RVAA01 is reference condition type for IV01 and the same is defined in the condition type IV01. Due to this these two condition types represent same value.
The condition type IV01 in intercompany billing document represents revenue to the Supplying Company. But its corresponding condition type PI01 in the billing document to the end customer is shown as a statistical item meant for information purposes.
Condition Type VPRS in the intercompany-billing document indicates cost to the supplying company code.
The use of two different condition types in Intercompany billing is necessary to ensure that data is transmitted correctly to the financial statement (Component CO-PA).
ILLUSTRATION:
STEP 1: Create Sales Order
Manually Enter the Delivery Plant of the Supplying Company Code:
OBSERVE CONDITIONS SCREEN FOR ITEM:
PR00 represents Price to the end customer (in other words, revenue for the ordering company).
PI01 represents cost to ordering company (in other words, revenue for the supplying company). It is represented as statistical item only.
DELIVERY:
Delivery is carried out from the supplying point & hence we can observe that it is done from shipping point assigned to the supplying point.
Subsequently, Picking & PGI are carried out.
BILLING TO END CUSTOMER:
T-Code: VF01
Create Intercompany Billing:
T-code: VF01
OBSERVE THE CONDITIONS SCREEN OF THE INTERNAL INVOICE:
IV01 Condition type represents revenue for the supplying company code.
VPRS condition type represents cost to the supplying company code.
PR00 in intercompany billing document displays amount billed to the end customer. It serves as just an information item and is inactive.
If the ordering company enters the incoming invoice manually, the delivering company can print out an invoice document with the help of output type RD00, which is then sent to the Payer.
If automatic invoice receipt has been agreed, we must use the SD output control functions to ensure that output type RD04 is found in internal billing. In R/3 system, output determination procedure V40000, which includes this output type, is assigned to Intercompany billing type IV.
The automatic posting to the vendor account is initiated when output type RD04 is processed. The system uses the EDI output type INVOIC in the FI variant.
To ensure that payables are posted in financial accounts of the ordering company, the delivery company must be created as a vendor.

please help me out

sudha

Hi,
Let me explain you like this.
You have sales organization SO1 and plant PLT1 which is a ordering company COMP1.
Now you have sales organization SO2 and PLT2 which is a delivering company COMP2.
Now your customers comes to SO1 for order but because you donu2019t have material in PLT1 so you are giving material from PLT2 which is assigned to COMP2.
So this becomes a intercompany scenario right.
But when it comes to billing SO2 has to bill SO1 because in intercompany SO1 becomes customer for SO2.
So SO2 will send invoice to SO1 for whatever material they have used.
Then SO1 has to send invoice to all of his customer.
So for SO2 donu2019t have to care about all the customer which are coming to SO1.
So to map this scenario you have to create one customer for SO2.
Then you have to assign that customer to internal customer in SO1.
So scenario billing goes likes this.
SO2 sends bill to SO1 for payment and SO1 sends bills to all the customer.
Hope so I am clear about what ever I was said.
If still you have doubt then please let us know

Inter - company Billing - Assign Organisational units by plant

Hi Experts
Im posting this since I found the same question closed, unanswered.
We are on IS - Retail and I have done all configuration for Inter-company Billing. However when I create the inter-company billing document I get the following error, "Sales organization & is not defined"
I checked SAP note 308989 in which it says the delivering plant (Site) needs to be attached to both the Ordering and Delivering companies Sales organisation, Distribution channel combination. Also this needs to be done as part of master data in WB02, which I have done.
It also says that the 2 entries maintained should be present in the table in transaction OVV9 - Assign Organisational units by plant. However, in my case the attachment of the site to the ordering companies sales org. is missing in the inter-company set up. Also it does not give the option of creating a new entry.
Appreciate if someone could help me resolve this so I could create the inter company invoice.
Thank you,
Afzal

Hi Afzal,
in all the customizing setting of note 308989 are good, then those fields should be filled.
Please check it very carefully.
Please check in customizing of sales order type (transaction VOV8) if the intercompany billing type maintained.
In case of stock tranfer order intercompany (where there is not sales order), run transaction 0VLK, display the delivery type used, and check the order type present in field 'Default Ord.Ty.' (usually it is 'DL').
Then check in VOV8 for this sales order type.
If everything is fine, then it is necessary to debug the delivery creation.
The field LIKP-VKOIV etc. should be filled in program FV50XFLK_LIKP_FUELLEN_IV in intercompany sales; program FV50XFLK_LIKP_FUELLEN_IV_UML in stock transfer order intercompany.
Best regards,
Ivano.

Bussiness process of Inter company sales and why we suggest Inter company

Dear All SD Gurus,
I want to Know the business procees of inter company sales and why we suggest inter company sales to clint?.
Because in Third party sales also vendor delivers the goods to customer so why we need to go for Inter company.I want know the Major defferences between them.
Please Help
Regards
S Kumar

Dear Sandeep
1) Inter Company Transfer
We should not call the inter company transfer as sales. The proper way to account for these transfers is to treat them as consignment sales.
Why?
1) You do not recognize income until the stock is actually sold to the end user (ie retailer, wholesaler).
2) You minizime your taxable income.
2) Third Party Sales
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.
Thanks

Inter company sales transaction

Hi Experts,
I have completed doing intercompany sales transaction....besides there are few question croping up which I wud like to post here...
1)How inter company billing doc type IV is able to determine ordering company as a payer at the time when I tried to create IV document(intercompany billing doc)..?
2)How sales area is determined?....bcoz am creating IV with reference to del doc which has end customers sale area...but I can see ordering company's sale area in IV doc...how it is?
3)might be this question sud hav taken the priority first but still...how billing type IV is determined automatically after creting F2 doc?.......
Thanks in advance

Hi
3)might be this question sud hav taken the priority first but still...how billing type
IV is determined automatically after creting F2 doc?.......
In the configuration of sales doc type in VOV8 in the billing tab we maintain intercompany billing type as IV
Config is maintained here
In Inter company sales transaction in the end customers sales order we change the delivering plant which belongs to different company code
Customer ABCD orders sales org 1000 belonging to company code 1000
But plant 2000 belonging to company code 2000 delivers the material
So in the sales order of 1000 sales org when the delivering plant is falling as 2000 system senses it is Inter company sales and proposes billing type accordingly
1)How inter company billing doc type IV is able to determine ordering company as a
payer at the time when I tried to create IV document(intercompany billing doc)..?
Billing type IV is used per default for the internal invoice. This is proposed
based on the document type of the order.
In principle, the payer of the internal invoice corresponds to the ordering
company code, which appears like a customer to the supplying company
code.
For this reason, you create a customer master record in the supplying
company code. You enter the relevant data for billing in this customer
master record. Finally, you assign the related customer number of the
sales organization of the ordering company code in Customizing (field
Customer IV).
The company code in the internal invoice results from the company code
affiliation of the supplying plant. It thus corresponds to the supplying
company code.
In Customizing, you assign the sales area necessary to create the internal
invoice to the supplying plant
I am not able to get clearly your qn 2. exactly your query
Try to read GLYNN C WILLIAMS materials in Inter company sales transaction
That is very clear

Inter company sale - Concepts

Hello friends
These are the intercompany questions need to be clear.Please help me to understand.
A) While doing Invoice IV - from delivering compamy code (ex 2000) to ordering comany code (ex 1000)
Under company code : 2000 , Plant -A and
under company code : 1000, Plant- B and sales org- us01.
I know customer presence should be there for inter comapny Invocie.
Now My questions are
1) how to create customer and who will be the customer - (plant -? under coppany code -1000)
2) from where the inter company Invoice is comming - from - (plant or sale org -? under company code -2000) and what is the link -? I mean how sytem will understand this -?
3)New pricing procedure involved for invoice IV -?
4)if there is intercopmpany sales , inter copmpany stock transfer whould also involve or not necissary -?
5) AND if I am misssing any important points in inter company sales please guide me.
I am not clear, please help me on this.
Thanks
Krish

1) how to create customer and who will be the customer - (plant -? under coppany code -1000)
Ordering sales organization has to be created as Internal customer, who will receive the IV invoice. from the supplying sales organization ( IV will be created wrt: Delivery , in which sales organization will be supplying plant's sales org)
2) from where the inter company Invoice is comming - from - (plant or sale org -? under company code -2000) and what is the link -? I mean how sytem will understand this -?
when you create invoice 2nd time wrt: to the delivery document, then system will check in delivery document, whether its relevant for IV or not. In delivery document header this status will be indicated. if IV relevant, it will check item category of the reference document & then it will check ref doc type details & finds the IV doc type, if necessary copy controls maintained between delivery & IV then data will be copied in IV invoice.
3)New pricing procedure involved for invoice IV -?
as in std, new pricing procedure will be determined.as there would be internal agreement may exist, to issue the invoice either on fixed amount or percentage basis. hence new pricing procedure with new cond types required.
4)if there is intercopmpany sales , inter copmpany stock transfer whould also involve or not necissary -?
it depends on client requirement, if the client who has transactions between company codes eg: exchange of goods, then Int.company STO has to be configure. if their agreement is to dispatch the goods to the customer whoz exist in diff comp code, then there will be only Int.comp sales.
5) AND if I am misssing any important points in inter company sales please guide me.
for more clarification & better understanding, go through SAP HELP. search in forum for the links.

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

Availability check in inter company sales process

Hi,
I want know about
While creating the sales order in inter company sales process, i will select the plant of another company code. System should check the available quantity of that respective plant of another company code and should propose the available date.
Is it possible in SAP. Please guide me.
Thanks
Rajesh.

dear
the availability check is done according to the quantities available and the quantities that would flow in and flow out of the storage location of a particular plant ..
in the inter-company sales scenario when you change the plant in the sales order. the system checks for the availability .
If the availability is not checked for you can click on availability icon and get it checked.
item availability could be checked for and accordingly the delivery dates could be proposed.
you don't need any special customization for that..

Requirement transfer in inter-company sales

Hi experts,
Pls help to look into the following problem.
The business senario is inter-company sales.
The requirement is that when the sales order is created, the Demand block is automatically applied on sales order and no requiement is transferred.
And afterwards, go to change the sales order to change the schedule, to fulfill the following demands:
1.Demand Block will be released.
2.Demand is transferred to PP.
3. ATP check is activated.
Pls kindly indicate what kindly of cfg needs to be made to make the business scenario fulfilled? Is there any special requirement for the customer and material?
Regards,
Nadali

Hi,
First of all configure your sales doc. type by copying the standard sales order and assigning a delivery block in the shipping tab of customization of sales doc. type.
for this you can go to SPRO-sales and distribution-sales-sales doc header-sales doc types.
select OR and copy it and configure your own sales doc type as per described above.
Before you remove the delivery block of the sales document type, ensure you have made a production order by t:code CO01.
provide the necessary details like material, quantity,etc
and release to production, so that an order can be made on its basis.
hope this would help.
regards,
Siddharth.

Inter-Company sales processing

Hi All,
I have carried out the Inter-Company sales processing and it is working fine upto the creation of Inter-Company billing. The Inter-Company billing and Accounting document have also got created. I have used both the output condition types RD00 for manual and RD04 for automatic posting.
Please let me know the process, which is need to be followed to complete the Inter-Company code sales processing once the intercompany billing/invoice is created....
When both the ouput condition types have been processed successfully, what is the next process???
In case of manual process, how/where the Ordering company code will take the Goods receipt and Invoice receipt? What basis/what the reference document, the ordering company code will use to process the above.
Hope I have conveyed my requirement.....
Please help me...
Regards,
Mani
In case of Automatic process, how/where to check whether the data has been processed in the ordering company code?

Dear Manivannan R
This is not Intercompany Scenario as defined by SAP, Intercompany scenario is different. In that if one company is not having stock then on behalf of one company , second company delivers the good to customer and second company gives IV invoice to first company, and actually first company sends invoice to customer
however your scenario can be done in following way
1. First Scenario when PNT2 supplies the goods to PNT1, COC2 is vendor for COC1 and COC1 is a customer for COC2, so define one customer and one vendor
2. second scenario, when PNT1 supplies the goods to PNT2, COC1 is a vendor for COC2 and COC2 is a customer for COC1, so define one customer and one vendor
Now you can use your existing sales order type and pricing procedure and treat this as normal sales
Or
you can define specific sales order type and pricing procedure if your existing sales order type and pricing procedure is not sufficient.

Jitesh
