Is inter-company setting required

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a scenario which goes this way:

One company code (sales org) creates a contract. This is for leasing equipment that this contract is created. And the monthly billing keeps happening as per the billing plan type selected.

During the life of this contract this contract is sold to the other company code. And a replica contract is created in this second company code with customer as the first company code. This is carried out to avail tax benefits in the Europe. And the periodic billing to happen on the same dates as that of the actual customer. In this case my client says that it is an inter-company billing which needs to be created. Is there a requirement for inter company billing for that mater intercompany sales at all.

If you can put your views and experiences forward it would be of great help.

Hi Paturi,

Business nature wise it is definately an Intercompany deal. But the fact is that Standard SAP does not support these kinds of intercompany dealings. Standard SAP Intercompany works only on the criteria that the order is booked by co. 1 & the delivery is made by co. 2 and then it creates an intercompany billing between co. 1 & co. 2. For your scenario, this will not work. You might have to build some workaround to make it happen. Therefore, it would be gr8 if you can explain the scenario in more detail... May be then i can be of any help in explaining you the necessary config. Also, alternatively you can search in SAPOSS for your industry specific workarounds. As far as i know SAP intercompany does not works for Contracts....

If you need my help then pl. send me the detail requirements on my email ID and i will do whatever help i can do to you.

Thanks
