Hello Vinay,

In SAP sales & distribution module, an intercompany sales occurs when the selling organization belongs to a different company code than the delivering plant. The transaction path for accessing intercompany sales billing is:

IMG >> Sales and distribution >> Billing >> Intercompany billing

<b>Example</b>

Suppose there are two company codes namely 1000 and 2000. A customer may place an order for goods in sales organization belonging to company code 3000. However, the goods may be manufactured by a delivering plant belonging the company code 1000. A sales order is created indicating delivering plant of company code 1000. The sales organization then invoices the customer for the materials purchased. SAP R/3 automatically creates an intercompany billing document at the same time as the customer’s billing document is created. This intercompany invoice is sent from the delivering plant to the selling sales organization.

As a rule of thumb, when dealing with different company codes, one may find a need to transfer stock between two different company codes. However, if the stock be transferred within the same company code, there is no need for an intercompany transaction. But in case the stock is transferred between different company codes, a transfer of value occurs and is an intercompany sale.

<b>For intercompany sales processing to be functional, some master data maintenance must be done. The checklist for intercompany sales processing can be the following:</b>

1. Defining the Internal Customer Number by Sales Organization:

In this step, one defines the internal customer number that represents the sales organization to

be invoiced in intercompany sales processing . This customer number must be created in the system for the sales area specified.

2. The enterprise structure must be maintained correctly; that is, the plants must be assigned to the correct company codes as well as to the correct combination of sales organizations and distribution channels.

3. The intercompany customer numbers must be assigned to the relevant sales organizations.

4. The delivering plant must be assigned to the sales organization.

5. The material to be sold must exist in the original and delivering plant.

6. The sales order must be relevant for intercompany sales and have an assigned billing document type.

7. The copy control rules must be defined between the standard invoice, such as F2, and the intercompany invoice, such as IV.

8. The pricing procedure may have a special condition type assigned to it. This special condition type may represent the price to the intercompany sales organization or it may represent a special discount offered to the intercompany sales organization for the materials sold.

SAP standard system has the following condition types:

PI01: Represents the intercompany price as quantity-dependent

PI02: Represents the intercompany condition as a percentage

<b>Business case: -</b>

Customer orders goods to company code/Sales organization A (Eg.4211/4211).Sales org 4211 will accept and punch the order in the system with sold to party as end customer code in the system. Company code/sales org B (Eg.4436) will deliver the goods to end customer and raise an intercom any billing on 4211 with reference to delivery. This can happen only after 4211 raises invoice to his end customer to whom the material has been delivered by 4436.

<b>SPRO Customization required:-</b>

1. Assign plant of delivering company code (Eg.SI81) to sales org/distribution channel combination of ordering company code (Eg.4211/RT)

2. Maintain intercom any billing type as IV for sales document type OR

3. Assign Organizational Units By Plant (Eg.SI81/4211/RT/11)

4.Define Internal Customer Number By Sales Organization (Eg.4436 will create customer master for 4211 company code and that number will be maintained in this relationship:-4211/231)

5. Automatic posting to vendor account (Optional)

6. Maintain pricing procedure determination for 4211/RT/A/1/RVAA01-For customer sales and billing

Maintain pricing procedure determination for 4436/RT/A/1/ICAA01-For intercompony billing

<b>Master data to be maintained</b>:-

1. Create end customer master in company code/sales org 4211/RT/11

2. Create customer master for 4211 company code/sales org in 4436/RT/11

3. Maintain PR00 as price for end customer-Active in RVAA01

4. Maintain PI01 as price which has to be paid to 4436-Statistical in RVAA01

5. Maintain IV01 as inter-company Price-Active in ICAA01

<b>Process:-</b>

1. Create OR with sold to party as end customer.

2. Plant to be selected is delivering plant belonging to different company code. With this selection system will treat this order as intercomany sales.

3. Pricing procedure is RVAA01

4. With reference to this order delivery will be created from the delivering plant and post the goods issue for this delivery.

5. Ordering sales org will create billing document F2 with reference to delivery for end customer.

6. Delivering sales org will create intercompany billing IV with reference to delivery document.

I hope this helps you.Reward points if solution is useful.
