Intercompany Sales and Purchases

[fortian]

Dear experts,

We have a scenario where different company codes (in a same Controlling Area) purchase and sale product between them.

Once a company code A creates a purchase order to company code B, company code B creates manually a Sales Order to company code A.

We would like to have the sales order automatically created.

How could this be done? Could you provide us with some information?

Hi,

It is very simple to create automatic sales order in another company and it is standard process of ALE/IDOC

This seems to be what we were looking for.

Thanks

Dear Fortian,

Please check the below sales process

In SAP Intercompany scenario, Sales Order is not required.  If both the company codes are there in the same SAP system, you can despatch the good against the Purchase order.

Instead of creating another sales order, it is a beter idea to follow the below process :

1. Create Purchase order (comapny A)

2. create delivery with reference to purcahse order (Company B)

3. PGI

4. Inter company invoicing (Company B)

Hope this clarifies.

Dear Krishna Raju,

You are speaking of this scneario:

Correct? We will study it but we might have some other requirements which might not be covered by this solution (we expect to have a sales order document created).

Thank you very much.

If the Business warrants to go with SD process, then you extend the receiving plant as a customer and follow the normal SD process.  Needless to mention, definitely, there would be different G/L Account postings both for inventory and sales.  Have a discussion with your FI team and assign the respective G/L Accounts in OBYC (this would be dealt with by MM / FI people in many places) and VKOA.

Dear ,

You suggest we use the standard process of PO   and Sales Order creation. But is this second step which we where whiling to be done automatically by de system.

Thanks for your time.

Hi

You should create Delivering Plant as Vendor in Co. Code A in XK01, and also create Receiving plant as Customer in Co Code B in XD01.

Extend the Material in Both the Company Code, Sales Organization, Distribution Channel and Plant in MM01.

Here system will generate Delivery document with reference to PO, now you must be knowing that in SD to generate Delivery document we require a SO Type which is in this case would be DL(Default Sales Order Type to create Delivery without referring to SO). Creation of delivery in Co Code B will trigger the SD process.   

Now the Process would be ME21N in Co Code A (Where Delivering plant will be used as Vendor) > VL10D in Co Code B ( with reference to PO- Will generate Delivery) > VL02N in Co Code B (PGI), VF01 in Co Code B (Invoice) > MIGO in Co Code A (PGR) > MIRO in Co Code A (Vendor Payment).

Also remember to maintain Account Determination Settings for the GL code in VKOA in Co Code B.

Thanks Amit Saxena,

But Krishna Raju already introduced me this process and I already tested it.

The process is OK, but no Sales Order is created during it as the delivery is created in reference to the PO.

The Sales department would like to have a Sales Document created in the same way they have it for the sales to external customers. (non inter company sales).

Thanks.

Hi Fortian,

you can achieve this through ABAP Devlopment by using Function module, so that when ever PO is created in company A, it should trigger SO in compnay B.

Thanks

There is no way of doing it through customizing?
