Inter company stock transfer process

[Former Member]

Dear all,

For example company code-A is sending the material to company code-B and it is sold by company code-B.

As per the process given by SAP for inter company stock transfer we are creating a  Purchase Order ( PO type - NB) at company code-B.  based on this PO only company code -A will create a Delivery document and based on this delivery document company code B will do the MIGO and MIRO.

for executing  this process  while creating PO at company code -B  we need to assign a Shipping Plant from which Company code-A  will send the material. So, for getting this shipping tab in PO, we need to assign the sending Plant code to the Vendor master ( company code-A is the  Vendor in  Company code-B) .As per SAP  for one vendor only one plant code can be assigned.But in our scenario material can be sent from several plants.

So in this case how  we can assign those plants to one vendor so that the shipping tab will be available in the PO.

Is it require to create that many vendors in this scenario or there may be any possible solution give by SAP to process this kind of scenarios.

Hi,

I agree with Sandeep. you cannot have multiple plants attached to the same vendor.

Even in the screenshot attached by Mahendra, you can see just 1 plant can be attached to the vendor.

By the way, I am still not clear with your question.

When you do a intercompany STO. You have a 2 plants from each company code, one which acts as the supplying plant and the other which acts as the receiving plant.
Why do you want to have different plants for the same vendor. If you mean, that any plant belonging to the suppyling company code can be a supplying plant, then it is better to have that many vendors defined, linked to the respective plants.

eg. plant AAAA linked to vendor ZZAAAA

plant BBBB linked to vendor ZZBBBB

plant CCCC linked to vendor ZZCCCC

and so on.

Hope this solves your issue.

Hi Abdul,

we can assign those plants to one vendor so that the shipping tab will be available in the PO.

In standard SAP it is not possible to add more than one plant to single vendor master(XK01).System allows you to add only on plant to vendor master.

purchasing data->extras->add.purchasing data.

For getting shipping point in PO

1>STO can be configured

2>shipping point determination can be configured in right manner.

In Inter company STO,create vendor master for each and every plant. And use this vendor,whenever creating PO from receiving plant.Based on the vendor,shipping point will be determined in to PO.why because here we are creating receiving plant as vendor in supplying plant sales area.

Hi Abdul,

I have seen some option to assign multiple Plant Code in Vendor in Purchasing data.

There is an option of creating Purchasing Data for Plant Codes.

here in this screen you can just click on Data relent on Plant level allowed point and from there some Plants can be assigned and it is being updated to another Table in stead T001W-LIFNR

There will be field of EXTRAS ---> Alternative Data where You can assign multiple Plants.

Check with your MM Consultant.

Hi,

It is not possible in Standard SAP to have same vendor for multiple plants.

You can create Plant specific vendors and then only your problem will be solved.

Ex: Plant 1000 --> V1000

Plant 2000 --> V2000

If you go for any enhancement, it will un-necessary complicate ur STO process.

Tell your master data team to create these multilple vendors, if there are too many for you.

Master data team can use LSMW to load all these vendors and can do Vendor -Plant assignment.

Hope this helps. 

Thanks
