Hi Everybody !
There is a requirement saying that the system should request Incoming Certificate for the GR which is based on a Transfer Order(i.e. Plant to Plant transfer).
From the answers to my previous query I know that standard SAP does not supports this. So can anyone suggest any config change or ABAP developement which makes this possible ? Please give a detailed answer so that I can follow that and make this happen in my system.
Regards,
Manish.
Hi
you can treat the other plant as vendor. Create a Purchase order & then receive the goods against the PO.
Then it will be very easy for your requirement.
Please coordinate with your MM collegue for this.

As stated, the system doesn't support the COA requirement when your not treating the plant as a vendor.
1) Why are they requiring a COA anyway? There is no business benefit to that. In every client I've worked for we have done away with these. It was common practice at one time when plants had separate quality systems and business systems. But with all plants on one SAP system, data can be accessed for any plant. If the receiving plant needs to send out COA's they should be generated by SAP so there should be no need to have a hard-copy.
There is no ISO or GMP rule that these type of shipments require COA's. In fact, when all the plants are on the same system, they should discourage it.
2) if you really want to check for a COA, include the check as a pass/fail qualtitative characteristic as part of an 08 inspection lot.

Hi,
You have very rightly said that the system does not supports certificates in case of plant to plant transfer. Same has been conveyed to the business but still they insist that they need this functionality.
Can you please help me in this ? Provide some guidance on how to achieve this.
Regards,
Manish.
You can't. SAP didn't design it that way because they couldn't figure out why in the world a company would want a COA when shipping between their own plants when they are on the same system. It makes totally no sense.
You'd have to do a fair amount of custom, non-SAP supported development to accomplish that.
Two answers: You either treat the plant as a vendor as already suggested.
Or get rid of the requirement.
