Intercompany material subsitution with contract material

[Former Member]

Dear Sir/Miss,

We have below business scenario:
Under our company/sales organization A, we have a customer with whom we sign a contract to deliver product X.

In many cases, we need to deliver product Y from our plant in company B to this customer because of stock situation. In fact, product Y is similar like product X but it has higher grade(such as higher purity) thus physically it is OK for customer.

In such case, all documents to end customers such as delivery and invoice should be placed with material X because of the restriction in contract. Meanwhile, the invoice between company A and company B should still be placed under delivery material Y. And the PGI should also be
done in plant of company B via material Y. Such order has to be entered as an intercompany order interfaced from an external application in our situation. Then in standard intercompany process, the material in IV billing will be product X, same as that in customer order. The standard function of material determinatioin
(transaction VB11) would not help as it takes effect only in sales order processing.

Is there any standard SAP function supporting above intercompany scenario? We hope to implement the function by configuration or import some SAP note.

ps: we know definitely it might be handled by customized development but we think this should somehow be general requirement which might be covered by SAP standard.

Your quick advice will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Jonnie ,

In material determination you have a provision on

Create a substitute reason in strategy put nill and out come B

then go to VB11 and make entry with same substitute reason with the material selection

you need to define two item category one is pricing relevance other is not which is delivery related

Go to item category determination vov4 select document type

or+norm+(usage) psa1+tax

OR+NORM+(usage) psa2+tapa

and assign the schedule line for TAX is CX(non delivery)

and assign the schedule line for TAPA is CD( delivery)

then go to va01 raise the sales order then see the material line item it will show you the both product but it will take the first material price and second one delivered

Dear Ramesh,

You did give valuable glues to this question.

However, I would think your suggestion is somehow like sales bom funtion where the main item will act as the pricing item and the subitem acts for delivery. Apply your suggestion, the PGI will be done on the subsituted material, while the invoice(intercompany and end customer) will be done on the first material.

The key requirement is that PGI and intercompany invoice should be done on the delivered material, while the customer billing should be done on the contract material. We even could bear that PGI is not done on the delivered material as we could do material transfer afterwards. Finally we need different material on IV billing and end customer billing.

Any other idea?

Thanks.

Any further comment?

Hi Jonnie,

see the think is that you want to delivered the B goods and the billing will be done for A goods

so when you create a sales order then both the material should be show in the Sales order

And A material will be a pricing relevance

       B material will be your delivery related (material document will be created on the basis of B material , Cost will flow for B material in your costing )

How ever when you did the billing your A material will be billing then

There is a huge mismatch between these two

Ramesh
