Hii,

The Logical steps include:

1) Sales order is created W.R.F to Customer Purchase order.

2)Autoamtic creation of Purchase requistion on saving the Sales order.

3)Convert Purchase requisition to Purchase order in MM

4)Post Goods Receipt upon getting confirmation from Vendor about delivery

5)Invoice verification in MM(Invoice sent by Vendor)

6)Bill the Customer for the Goods supplied by Vendor

Dear Prasad,

Activate the POD field in Customer master data....when customer confirms the Delivery quantity then only system will allow to do Billing.

hello, friends.

i don't think delivery documents are created in third party. as such, POD may not be used. nevertheless, i will double check this.

Dear Prasad,

As friend Sunil suggested, we can use either of the two options.

1. Use the Shipping notification

2. Bill the Customer according to the Vendor invoices.

Steps involved in Third Party Process:

1. Create sale order(VA01)

2. PR will be automatically created as per the setting maintained at the schedule line level.

3. Create PO for this PR.(ME59/ME51)

4. Do MIGO - to deliver the goods to the customer.

5. Do MIRO - for vendor invoicing.

6. We will create invoice(VF01) to the customer, after we get the vendor invoice.

Thanks Sunil. The link which you have suggested will be useful to a lot to undestand the basic business process.

Thanks,

Venkatesh.S.P

Hello Friend,

In third party there are 2 processes

1. With shipping notification means that the third party informs you that he has delivered the material your customer and you can raise the invoice to your customer based on this shipping notification without having received your bill from the third party vendor

Shipping Notification

When the vendor has sent the material to the customer, they will normally send you a shipping notification, which, amongst other things, contains the exact quantity of material sent. You have the possibility to enter this shipping notification into the system in the form of a dummy goods receipt. It will be posted directly in consumption so that no stocks are created. The quantity of goods received then updates the quantity to be invoiced in the sales order. Therefore, it is possible to create the customer invoice before you receive the incoming invoice from the vendor.

Billing Documents

The billing documents are created on the basis of the order. Since the vendor might not deliver the exact quantity ordered, quantity adjustment takes place via the shipping notification.

Vendor Invoice Verification

The vendor invoice verification can take place after billing. The variance in purchasing can be updated in Controlling using retroactive billing.

ControllingThe revenue and costs will be posted to CO-PA using the billing document.

Key Points

The customer invoice can be created on the basis of the shipping notification before receiving the incoming invoice from the vendor.

2. Without shipping notification means that the third party does not passes the information about the details to you , of the delivery of the material to your customer

In this case you cant raise invoice to your customer till you receive the invoice from your third party vendor
