PLease let me know the [process for a

procure to pay proceedure for a co code that is purchasing on behalf of another

co ..

Say there are 2 companies A and B . A is procuring stationary on behalf of B //

What are the enteries that will be created after invoice posting // how will SAP treat the company B for this scenario //

Please let me know whether both A and B are company codes in your system

and ur booking expenses thorugh FI

then in the expnes line itel you have to put the B company code and the other line item should be A company code

If you ae bookig expenses through PO( account assignment K) and then making service entry sheet or MIGO then at the time of creating the PO in account assignment you have to put the B conpany code cost center by which expenses will be booked to B company code and GR Ir clearing will be in A company code

Any how in both the ways this will be a cross company code transaction

i hope A will pay the vendor and it will recover from B later...

If helpful plese assign points otherwise do reply with more explanation ....

ur second para explanation for PO Booking ..

This is my situation actually /

A will be paying the vendor // But where will inventory be maintained in Co code a or B ..

What happens to account payable //

also if a is paying on behalf of B then b co will be shown as AR in A company .

Can u explain // U r pretty close i feel //

You can carry out the regular transaction in company B and make the paying company code as Company A, during the payment program F110.

In OBYA you maintain intercompany clearing accounts.

Hi,

U just try to create a POwhere in header data u give company code A and in the item level where u put the material code , in plant u put the B company code plant

Now as you are saying that this is a case of inventory purchase.. so there will not ba any account assignment....

one note... the purchase organsiation must be valid for both company code a and B as well as plants for A and B company codes must belong to same purchase organisation

But for matter of logic...

while creating PO why do not you make PO for company code B

Any how let me know the result...

Cheers
