Create PO in one plant and receive it in another plant (plants abroad) ????

[Former Member]

Hi all,

This is the scenario. I create a PO from a plant 1000 to vendor 123456. But i would like to receive the goods in plant 2000 (belonging to same company code, but plants are in different countries)

I tried third party in PO (F &S) combination with delivery address as vendor (plant reference) and as well as customer. But the vendor number in GR changes to the actual vendor number VN in PO. Either ways, i was not able to do a GR and increase stock in plant 2000.

Let me know, how we can map this process in SAP.

Hi

If you want to do Goods receipt at plant 2000 directly

from vendor XXXX, then you can create plant 2000 in Purchase order.

What would be the problem you are facing ?

Pl elobarate your question.

Hi,

Plant 2000 is more like a WH. We had to maintain it as a plant to accomodate other Business scenarios. So, i cannot raise PO on plant 2000.

All the purchases has to be initiated from plant 1000.

The scenario is more like Third party in PO, but instead of customer, it is another plant within same company code.

Let me know if you need more details.

You cannot create a PO with an item for plant 0001 and receive it in 0002 plant.

You can create a PO with an item for plant 0001 and mention a delivery adress for plant 0002. The vendor will then send it to this plant but when you do post goods receipt, then it will be posted to 0001. Then you have to have a stock transfer to move it from 0001 to 0002.

Alternative you have a central purchasing organisation, that can purchase for both plants. So you create the PO directly with an item for plant 0002.

This is a standard Stock transfer process.

Hi,

This is not standard stock transfer process. I do not receive the material in plant 1000 and then send it to plant 2000. It is like drop shipment from vendor to plant 2000, but PO being raised from plant 1000.

Let me know if you need more details.
