Cross-company sales delivered by non-sap production plant.

[former_member237437]

Dear guru's,

We are looking for the best solution for a cross-company sales scenario. The difference to the normal solution is that the delivering plant is not supported (yet) by our SAP system but is still on it's own platform. So customer order intake in the sales organization is done in SAP for company code A. This is delivered from another country directly to the end customer but this delivering plant is not on our SAP system. Please advise on the best configuration for this situation.

As per SAP standard you can handle this situation by [Third Party Sales|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/e6/4a78e39e0311d189b70000e829fbbd/content.htm].

Third party order processing is as follows:

Assume three companies X, Y and Z

X u2013 The company,

y u2013 The customer

Z u2013 Vendor

When ever X gets a PO from Y to supply some goods, X has an option of either manufacturing those goods or procuring those goods.

If he is procuring the goods, there are two methods that are generally followed:

One method is

After receiving the PO from Y, X creates a sales order against Y.

Now at the same time he also creates a PO to a vendor Z to produce the goods

Z produces the goods and supplies to X

X receives the goods from Z

Then X delivers the same goods to Y.

After that X invoices Y and Z invoices X.

Note : Here there is no direct/ Indirect relation between Z and Y.

This process is known as Trading Process. and the Material here is created with Material type HAWA.

Another method is

is a Third party order processing method:

Here the glaring difference is that instead of Z supplying the material to X and X in turn supplying the same material to Y.

X authorizes Z to supply the material to Y on his behalf and notify him once the delivery is complete.

Now Z supplies the material to Y and acknowledges the same to X.

Z will send a copy of delivery acknowledgment and invoice to X.

After receiving the delivery confirmation and invoice from Z, X has to verify the invoice and this process is known as invoice verification and is done in SAP through Tcode MIRO.

The next step for X is to create an invoice and submit to Y

Only after the invoice verification document is posted then only X can create an invoice for Y.

This is the business flow that is followed for third party order configuration.

Hi Intervet,

I dont think such a scenario is possible in SAP.

Intercompany billing

The process assumes that the relevant company codes are in SAP. In this case, if two companies are in different systems, then the financial reconciliations will not be tallied in SAP. Hence in SAP, incurring cost to the delivering company and realising revenue from the customer will not be possible. The very objective of IC. to balance these two.

Hence it is not possible to enable this scenario in SAP.
