Post goods issue directly in Customer by X-Company Process

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We are trying to do one Cross-company process that I'll explain to you all our steps and actions:

1. Create a Sales Order (between Company "A" and Client "C"). In that SO, we have chosen an Item category ‘TAS’ that generates a purchase requisition.

2. Convert the PR (with account assignment with the SO and item) into a Purchase Order type 'UB' (between Company "A"-Client; and Company "B"-Supplier). The link between the PO and the SO remains because the account assignment.

3. Generate the delivery for the PO. Note that the material does not need to enter into the stock of Company "A". The company "B" delivers directly to the Client "C". This delivery reduces stock in Company "B".

4. When we post goods issue, an error message appears 'F5 583 - Business transaction cannot be processed by consolidation'.

In conclusion, we want to Sale a product to a customer, but order to another company. Post invoice between the two companies (intercompany) and send the invoice to the customer.

Have anyone experienced this?

Is this one inconsistency of the system?

Can you help us to solve this problem?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Pedro Grabulho.

Hi Pedro

1. If you want to bill the client directly from Company B, then you need not create the Stock transport order between the two companies. You can create a normal PO from the SO in the plant attached to the company B, do GR and then do GI to the customer order.

2. If there is a business reason because of which you have to create a STO, then, to my knowledge, you cant bill the customer unless you inward the stock in co. code A - if the plant in the SO is assigned to co. code A.

One workaround is that when you do GR for the STO in co. code B, you can have a output in the GR document which automatically does the following three steps on document save:

a. GI against the STO in co. code B,

b. then GR against the STO in co,code A

c. and then immediate VL01 against the sales order to create delivery

If you have any further queries, please reply to this post - else reward points if this helps you
