Plant for RRB

[former_member301027]

Dear Gurus,

During customizing of enterprise structure for the resource related billing, i create distribution channel (service) and division (RIG), but for the sales order i need a plant, plus same assignment is required in spro for sales organization + distribution channel = plant.

should is it necessary to create a plant for process run smoothly, because my client provide RIG on rent (services) so plant is not identified, means its might be any customer location.

loooking for the gurus response, please ask if have any query..

Hi Imran,

As per the best practices, you should create the Plant which is your client location for which the service is rendered to the end customer.[ Furture provisions would be covered, incase your client comes up with the requirement in later].

However it is not mandatory to have the plant for service billing as you can make the order type not relavent for distribution functions such as Shipping ,Transportations ,Deliveries.

For RRB what you need is the sales order with cost items (Actual).

If there are purchase related functions or some consumables then you would need plant.

If you have Project system, where you use WBS as the cost collector account assignment and CATS as the function, then you can go ahead without plants.

Thanks!

Hi Imran,

The costs conditions - Values comes from the Project costs that are accumulated for the work that has been done for the customer.

Now we have to add margins for the profilability of the transaction, therefore we have various conditons in place to override the values and quntities can be taken from the EK01 conditions.

Please refer the following threads discussed in the forum.

Hi Imran,

Please provide us with the business process and the process that you have planned in SAP.

For a sales order with deliverable material you definitely need Plant.
