Hi NEHA,

Check all ur settings once again for creating intecomapny billing,

- Material should b exist in both plants,

- stock will be maitained in D-Plant ( Delivering)

- now Plant - R ( Receiving ) become the customer of Plant-D, So create a dummy customer in Plant-D's company code and sales area,

- assign this customer number to Plant -R's details & its selling sales area.

- Maintain the intercomapny billing type(IV) in ur sales doc type (OR),

-assign the Plant-D to selling sales org+ dbt channel,

-maintain relevant copy controls between documents,

- Determine pricing procedure for Standard(RVAA01) as well as INtercompany (ICAA01)

(Note: Dummy customer's CPP,IV doc's DPP along with Delievering plant's sales area)

-maintain the condition records for Conditioin type PI01- VK11,

(Note: In ICAA01, u wont find any PI01 Ctype, but u ll find IV01-, if u observe the details of IV01 Ctype in V/06, it has the ref Ctype as "PI01" , through which the condition record of PI01 is shared to IV01also..)

-Now create Va01, enter the required fields, in delivering plant -enter Plant-D,@ item level as well as @ header level, and save,

- Create Delivery VL01n, with ref to SO,

- Create Billing VF01 ( with ref to DEL)--- observe bill type-F2,

- Create Billing VF01( w r t DEL again )--observe the bill type-IV.

try out and let me know,

hi,

Organizational Structures in SD

Use

In the SAP R/3 System you can use several structures to represent the legal and organizational structure of your company. The organizational structures form a framework in which all business transactions can be processed.

Integration

You link the organizational structures in SD with those in Financial Accounting and Materials Management.

Activities

You maintain and assign the organizational units in Customizing for the enterprise structure.

SD is organized according to sales organization, distribution channel and division. A combination of these three organizational units forms the sales area.

Link between Sales and Distribution and Accounting

By assigning sales organizations and plants you create a link between company codes and sales organizations. A plant, though always linked to one company code, can be assigned to different sales organizations. Within a company code several sales organizations can be active. Business transactions can also be carried out between different company codes (for example, during inter-company sales processing).

Intercompany Business Processing

Use

Intercompany business processing describes business transactions which take place between two companies (company codes) belonging to one organization. The ordering company orders goods from a plant which is assigned to another company code.

The following intercompany business transactions are possible:

Intercompany sales processing

A sales organization which is assigned to the ordering company code creates a sales order ordering goods from a plant assigned to another company code.

The plant in the delivering company code delivers the goods to the customer for whom the sales organization placed the order.

Intercompany stock transfer

A purchasing organization which is assigned to the ordering company code creates a purchase order ordering goods from a plant assigned to another company code.

The plant in the delivering company code delivers the goods to the plant for which the purchasing organization ordered the goods.

Because the two companies balance their accounts independently, the delivering company must bill the ordering company for the goods. This internal billing transaction is carried out by means of an intercompany billing document. The delivering company bills the ordering company at a price that allows the delivering company to cover its costs.

Pl reward if helpful.

Hi Neha.,

INTERCOMPANY SALES & BUSINESS PROCESSING:

An Intercompany sale transaction takes place when a sale occurs & the selling sales orgn belongs to a different company code than that of the delivery plant.

Intercompany business processing describes business transactions, which take place between two companies (company codes) belonging to one organization. The ordering company orders goods from a plant, which is assigned to another company code.

Company code: 5555 1000

• Delivery

• Goods issue

• Invoice for customer

• Invoice Intercompany billing

Processing an Intercompany sale:

To create an Intercompany sales transaction proceed with creating the standard sales order. In the sales order, change the delivering plant at the line item level & create a delivery for the new shipping point represented for the delivering plant. Proceed with the delivery functions of selecting the packing & posting the goods issue. Then create an external invoice that will be sent to the customer & create an Intercompany invoice. That will represent the billing doc between the delivering plant & the selling sales orgn.

An internal Intercompany invoice can be created by entering the delivery no again for processing when using the transaction VF01. One can also select the doc due for Intercompany billing by using the billing due list VF04. When using the billing due list be sure to select the Intercompany-billing doc as the documents to be used, by checking Intercompany billing.

A Check List for Intercompany sales processing can be the following:

The enterprise structure must be maintained correctly, i.e., the plants must be assigned to the correct company codes as well as to the correct combination of sales orgn’s & distbn channels.

The Intercompany customer must be assigned to relevant sales orgn’s

The delivering plant must be assigned to the sales orgn.

The material to be sold must exist in the original & delivering plant.

The sales order must be relevant for Intercompany sales & have an assigned billing doc type

The copy control rules must be defined between the standard invoice, such as F2, & the inter company invoice, such as IV.

The pricing proc may have a special cond type assigned to it. This special cond type may represent the price to Intercompany sales orgn or it may represent a special discount offered to the Intercompany sales orgn for the material sold

The standard system has the following cond types:

To represent the Intercompany price as quantity-dependent.

To represent the Intercompany condition as percentage.

HI Neha.,

ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE:

Enterprise Structure or Organizational Structure is a framework in which all business transactions can be processed.

• Company Code: it is the company for which we implement SAP. It is defined by FI. (4 digits code). It is the highest level of organizational element in Ent Stru, which allows posting revenues to G/L accounts.

• Sales Organization: (4 digits code) is an organizational unit responsible for sale and distribution of goods and services.

• Distribution Channel: (2 digits code) is a channel through which goods or services reach the customer.

• Division:(2 digits code) the range of goods or services that the company manufactures falls in to different divisions.

• Sales Area: combination of Sales Organisation, Distribution Channel and Division.

• Sales Line: combination of Sales Organisation and Distribution Channel.

• Sales Office: geographical aspect of the organization. Sales offices are assigned to sales areas.

• Plant: the factory is called the plant in SAP.

o Company Code to Sales Organisation: One to Many

o Sales Organisation to Distribution Channel: Many to Many

o Plant to Company Code: Many to One. In Intercompany: Many to Many

o Plant to Shipping Point: One to Many. Many to Many if in one geo area.
