MM acct.det. transfer stock sloc to sloc and accrue excise tax

[Former Member]

Our company needs to transfer stock from a bonded storage location to a tax paid storage location within the same plant, and we need to calculate and accrue excise tax on these transfers.

I was looking at MB1B mvmt 311 - can this be configured to calculate the tax and then generate an accounting doc? Or can I create a custom mvmt type to do this? If yes, which transaction event key(s) and account modifier(s) should I use in MM account determination? And where do I flag the movment type to calculate tax?

All the threads & notes I am able to find that at first seem helpful pertain only to India or Brazil - we are in California, US. (Sorry for such a detailed MM question; my strength is SD.)

Thanks much for any insight!

Hi Anke,

SLoc to SLoc transfer in MIGO (mvt type 311) creates no accounting doc as the transfer is within the same plant.

You can create a Stock Transport Order (STO) transaction ME37. THere you can config a pricing condition to accrue tax.

Thank you Phyllis. That's very helpful. So, just to confirm, you are saying I can create a STO within the same plant, from one sloc to another sloc? And I see ME37 is to create a scheduling agreement - so I should not use ME21N with doc type UB - stock transport order? It doesn't need to be a stock transport with billing, does it?

Edit: Just tried ME37 and ME21N and neither will let me enter the same supplying and receiving plant.

Thanks,

Anke

Hi Anke,

Sorry ME37 is for scheduling agreement, long term transport agreement where you can enter schedule lines.

For a one-off transfer, ME21N with UB type will do the job.

Have you created the supplying plant as a vendor. In the vendor master for the supplying plant (txn MK01), under Purchase data, go to menu Extras->Add.Purchasing Data and enter the supplying plant there.

I checked and the plant is already set up as a vendor as you describe. But I get a hard error when using the same plant as both supplying and receiving plant: "Supplying and receiving plants identical (Please check)". Is there config to change this error into a warning only?

I want to keep the stock in the same plant, just move it to a different sloc and be able to generate an accounting doc.

Thanks,

here u have to do the customisation.

We are on ECC 5.0. I looked at this menu path: Under Spro--MM-PUR-Pur Order-Set up Stock transport order----, but then I don't have any option that says: STO Storage loc to loc. All I have is the following:

- Define Shipping Data for Plants

- Create Checking Rule

- Define Checking Rule

- Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule

- Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, Underdelivery Tolerance

Under the last option, Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, Underdelivery Tolerance, it seems I can make an entry connecting supplying plant to receiving plant and STO doc type, and so I did that. But the entry here seems to have made no difference, and no mention anywhere about sloc. I still get the same error.

Am I overlooking something?

Thanks,

Anke
