Third party direct shipment (II)

[Former Member]

Hi all.

Yesterday I asked about third party order and I was kindly answered. But now when customizing and testing I find a question.

These are the steps that must be followed:

1. Create Vendor XK01

2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".

3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.

4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background

5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.

6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO

7. Goods receipt MIGO

8. Goods issue

9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and, therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.

10. Billing *-- Seema Dhar

There is no information about how goods issue must be accomplished (point 😎 as delivery item category doesn´t allow the delivery creation.

Could anyone tell me how to perform the goods issue? Is it necessary to make goods receipt although the inventory will never appear physically in plant? I thought that making just MIRO and VF01 would be enough...

In fact, in sap help there is a graphic and no MIGO step appears (neither the goods issue...)

Thanks a lot again!!!

Hi Sapera,

There can be 3 typse of trading scenarios

1. 3rd party with Shipping notification : Where in u create sales order and create PO against the PR which si triggered in SAles order adn hen MIGO followed by MIRO and Billing. Here Billing to the end customer can be doen before MIRO because the billign quantity considered is based on the goods Receipt( MIGO) quantity. Many a times you might have your personnels or soem mechanisms to cross verify the delivered quanity as some times the vendor might not dispatch the quantiy in the PO. Here the MIGO doen si consumption posting/Non valuated GR as physically it doenot come into your stock and therefore is not shown in our stock. ITem category used in TAS

2. 3rd party without shiiping notfication ; Here MIGO is not done and billig ncan be done only after MIRO as the billing quantity is based on the Invocie receipt quantity in MIRO

3. Bought in items/ Dealer Sales : Here you bring in the materials from the vendor to our depot plant and then dispatch it to the customer . Here PR is geenrated from sales order followed by PO and MIGO. After MIGO you have to do PGI followed by Billing. MIRO doesnot have any impact on the PGI or Billing. Item category used is TAB

But in all the three instancesthe configurational changes happen in schedule line cateogry and the account assignment which is maintiend in item category and for automatic determination of 2 different schedule line categories we need to maintian 2 different item categories alothough item category settings are almost the same.

Hope this was helpful in giving you some insights on the trading processes

Hi,

Weel if you want to create a delivery in the thrid party process, you can use item category TAB. Wherein you can create delivery and also do goods issue.

For goods ossue in thrid party process, you will have to do GR ( kind of suprficial goods in system ). Teh you can do a goods issue.

Check for the controls of item cat TAB.

Let us know if you still have any query.

Thanks all for the helpful replies.

Satish, I don´t want to create delivery if it is not necessary for the process and it seems it is not.

I have to customize all the flow to test it completely.

Just one more question, as standard customizing for purchase order (and purchase requisition) item category should be value I (Third party) and account assignment should be X (all aux. acct. assgts.). My question is about the account assignment: ¿what is the purpose of this type? ¿Could it be an empty value? ¿How is this "X" posted and its relation with sale accounting? ¿Is "X" related to a order, to an account? This is the only point I don´t see very clear.

Thanks again!!!!

As I already indicated, the GR of particular material can be controlled in MM cofig.

Account assignment category(TCode OME9) in MM is a key indicating whether an item is to be assigned to an auxiliary account (such as a cost center).

Acct Assignment Cat. X - All aux.acct.assgts.

Through config it controls, whether

- Account assignment can be changed

- Account assignment can be changed at time of invoice receipt

- Goods Receipt relevant

- Invoice receipt relevant

- Consumption posting

- Acct modification like VAX

- Single or multiple Account assignment

- Controls Fields, like Asset Subnumber, CO/PP Order, Deletion indicator, Details account assgt. block, General Ledger Account, Project, Qty./percent. mat. acct. assgt, Sales Order, Sales document schedule, Unloading point

In the purchase order, the item category should be S-Third party and account assignment category should be 3-Third party- No G/R. I am not sure from where you are getting value X -all aux account assignments? Check with your MM specialist for correctness.

Now I got it, I think you are checking at schedule line category settings level. You can read OSS Note 210997 - Accnt assignmt categoriesin third-party and indiv.PO, which explains about account assignment category details.

5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.

The PO is crated with reference to purchase req and not with reference to SO

6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO

This is correct.

7. Goods receipt MIGO

There is no goods receipt as the goods are directly delivered to the customer site.

8. Goods issue

There is no goods issue process.

9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and, therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.

This is correct

10. Billing

Billing will be created against the sales order. Once vendor invoice is posted in MIRO, the billed quantity will be against the MIRO posted quantities. This is controlled by the third party item category - field billing relevance. Normally value F -Order related billing document-status according to invoiced quantity will be maintained in this field.

Hello

7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue

As per standard practice for 3rd Party Sales (TPS), Vendor delivers ordered goods directly to Customer.

Sales Ord - PR - PO - Invoice Receipt - Sales Invoice - release Accounting Doc.

Therefore GR & GI is part of the TPS business process required.

To avoid creation GR in MM for TPS, mend your config according in MM, so that user will not be able to GR.

Thanks & Regards
