InterCompany Dropshipment between two plants of Different company codes

[Former Member]

Hello All ,

We are have the following situation :

We have two plants belonging to two different company codes .

Plant A - which receives the demand from the customer . Plant A belongs to Company code C1

Plant B - which actually ships to the customer - Plant B belongs to company code C2

The goods are delivered from Plant A to Plant B and plant B , just ships it to the customer and the customer pays Plant B .

We need to create a solution for which where in we can maintain tracebility of the parts throughout from the time we receive the demad from customer

to the time they are delivered . Also Plant B will pay Plant A once it receives payment from customer .Hence there needs to be a correlation for every shipment which is coming out of Plant A sent to Plant B and then in turn sent to Customer . Could you please suggest the best process in SAP which can be adapted for this situation with just functional customization

If you are not using MRP to bring in the inter-company purchasing requirements. Then my initial suggestion is to use a field in the Sales Order and the STO as references.  A BADI or userexit may assist with the control and logic.  You could use a Z table as a reference too.

SO No  Reference   STO No.   Reference

Then develop a Z report to link these STO's and SO's.

Hope it helps

Hi,

Plant A - which receives the demand from the customer . Plant A belongs to Company code C1

Plant B - which actually ships to the customer - Plant B belongs to company code C2

Please clarify one thing why you are asking Plant B to delivery the goods to customer what is the business requirement? please update.

As per my knowledge when plant A having goods -Company code C1 it self receive the order from the customer  why can't you do it in standard process itself?

why are you transferring goods from Plant A-B and asking B to ship the goods to customer

thanks,

Srinu.

Hello all ,

I have done the configuration accordingly , however I would like to understand how the payments can be processed between Plant B and Plant A . In the inter-company Billing scenario which we have created between C1 and C2 , we have used  the same delivery document for creating two invoices .

One invoice for the customer ( An AR invoice ) and another ( AR invoice ) which has been raised between C1 and C2 . Now we are facing a question on how will C2 company code process any payments based on just an AR document which is there in SAP ?

Hey,

Have you tried looking at third party delivery?

here is SAP aid if you need http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/dd/560287545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/content.htm

All you really need to do is make your other plant into a vendor.

Hope this helps,
