Moving stock when companies sold out

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Our company is sold out. Selling compay and buying company are in India only.

Is there any specific procedure to move the stock.

What is business process flow to be followed.

It should be considered only as a Stock transfer or Sales.

Please share your ideas.

Hi

There are loads of SAP transactions that could be used. The one you use depends on how you need to account for the transaction. Options are:

1. Issue to a cost centre with a 201

2. Post as a sales movement w/o ref to sales order with a 231

3. Issue as a 502 write off, specifying the cost object that will accept the cost

4. Create a sales order and sell the stock, via a delivery, to the buying company - either with a price and bill them for it, or as free of charge if the cost is already negotiated as part of the sale.

Each of these will produce different accounting results. Writing off the stock is easy. Accounting for it is what you need to define.

Hi Durai,

The company is sold out means, have ther been any change in the sales process ?

Are they going to have the same company code, sales org, sales area etc..?

Coming to stocks, where do you want to move the stock..? is it a new plant/sl ?

If the compnay is sold, and if business is run the same way, then there will not be any need for any changes in SAP, may be the only the address changes and name changes.

Give details of specific requirements

Hi Jobi,

Sales process remains same.

Company code, Sales org, Plant remains the same. But in SAP we define these with our own naming conventions.

There is no physical movement of stocks.

But Government says we need to pay Excise duty for the stock since ownership of the stock changing.

So we are not sure what kind of movements we need to do here.
