Goods Reciept.......

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a scenario whereby the PO to be raised in Plant 1 to Vendor A. The goods are to be recieved in Plant 2.

Also Excise Credit to be taken by Plant 2 for Vendor A.

Plant 1 will latter give an invoice to Plant2.

Plant1 & Plant 2 are in different company codes.

How can this scenario be mapped.

hi,

create a PO in plant 1 from vendor A, delivery address should be plant 2(diff. company code).

once the material is recd. by plant 2, plant 1 will make the GR in plant 1 only, and same day plant1 will raise the invoice to plant 2.

plant 2 will receive the material in its book either by 501/ or by PO, & takes the cenvat benifit.

i hope u can follow this

if your PO has plant 1234, then you can only receive it in 1234. It is not possible to receive against this PO into plant ABCD.

Redesign the process. Streamline it.

A plant does not raise POs.

This is done by a purchasing organisation.

If plant B has a requirement. then the purchasing organisation responsible for plant B converts the requisition to PO.

And the PO is created for plant B (same plant as already in the PR).

If B does not have its own purchasing department on site, and the purchasing activities are done from the purchasing department sitting on site of plant A, then define this purchasing organisation as x-company/x-plant purchasing org.

Hello Jürgen & John,

Sorry my knowledge is very low I'd just like to understand this process...

A purchasing organisation can be assigned to a plant.

John says that one plant1 will order the material and will send the invoice to plant2. If the POs will be issued in the name of plant2 (purchasing organisation that belongs to plant2) what about the cash flow (between plant1&2)?

(That's why I mentioned third-party process...)

Thanks,

Csaba

Hi Csaba,

I know that this is a conflicting area.

But SAP has some restrictions. If you assign a plant to a vendor master (a must for STO process) then you cannot have standard purchase order / sales order process between the 2 partners.

And I know that many companies did this kind of business before they implemented SAP. And all sales managers are going mad because they lose a part of their business. .

But the workaround would be to create extra vendors/cusotmers for the same partner. Then Finance has the consolidation problem....

Round table is a good place to get the people together and talk about possible solutions.

Hi,

You raise the PO from P1& Sto.Location,

Its not possible to recieve from P2.

Bette option is go for STO between these P1 & P2.

Recieve the material at P1 & send the same through STO ,not in practical, but in System you can do, so that every thing goes well.

Hi John,

I'm not sure at all but cannot you use third party process (because your physical process seems to be third-party scenario...)?
