cross sales area!!!!!

[Former Member]

Hi All,

There are two sales area-Sales area1 and sales area 2 with plant 1 and plant 2 respectively.The customer XYZ is maintained in sales area 1.The customer from the sales area1 orders a material PQR which is maintained in both the plants.Material PQR is not available in plant 1,now how can i ask plant 2 with sales area 2 to deliever goods to the customer XYZ.

One way can be transferrring the stock from plant 2 to plant 1 by stock transfer and than delievering it to the customer.

Is this possible that plant 2 can straightway deliever the goods to the customer XYZ?Both the sales area area under one company code.

Thanks

Hi

Yes, the Plant2 can deliver only if.....

1. the Plant2 also exists in this sales area1

2. the Plant2 is configured as delivering plant.....assigning Plant2 to the combination of SalesOrg and Distribution channel(of sales area1).

After doing the above, while creating the sales order, select the Plant2 for this line item.

Thanks,

Hi

It can be done in two ways.

1) ASIGN PLANT2 TO SALES AREA ONE.

2)EXTEND CUSTOMER INTO SALES AREA2 AND ASSIGN PLANT2.

Correct me ifiam wrong.

Hi there,

Yes possible. through Intercompany billing.

plant 2 wil delivery the goods to the customer directly. For this a PO has to be raised from PLant 1 to Plant 2. Plant 2 will fulfill the delivery NL & ship the goods directly to the customer. An intercompany invoice will be raised ffrom Plant 2 to Plant1. Plant 1 willinturn raise a trade invoiceto customer.

Hi San,

I think you are wrong.Intercompany billing happens between two different company codes.In my scenario there is only one company code.

Hi

Your said assignments are like this 0003,04,21 sales area assigned to plant 1002 and

0009,09,21 sales area assigned to plant 1006 all belong to same company code

Material maintained in both plants but stock maintained only in 1006

In normal circumstances STO intracompany will happen between 1002 and 1006

If without STO if you want Plant 1006to sell directly to the customer whose order is registered in sales area 0003,04,21 this can very well happen with a single IMG settings

Inimg---enterprise structure assignment 0003,04 combination (distribution chain) has to be assigned to plant 1006 and thats all

No need to extend the customer and all

When you create a sales order in 0003,04,21 the default plant determined will be 1002 at item level

This you have to change manually to 1006 because 1006 has only the reqd stocks

And also in VOV7 the businessdata is ticked so that the header details and item details are allowed to differ

Then it is absolutely normal process provided shipping pt determination and all configured properly

one img setting and a manual change in sales order thats all

With the settings i suggested you will be able to that withoutany extra settings

Only when you work and see that only you will realize it

I have tested this already

Hi,

Please do these steps to solve your problem.

Go to IMG u2013 enterprise structure u2013 assignment u2013 sales and distribution u2013 assign sales organization and distribution channel to plant

Assign your sales area 1 to plant 1 and 2, assign your sales area 2 to plant 1 and plant 2.

Now go to MM01 and extend your material to both sales area1- plant 1 and sales area 2 u2013 plant 2.

Now go to XD01 and extend your customer to sales area 1 and sales area 2.

Save these data and try to create sales order it will happen.

While maintaining material master data please be carefull by putting division in sales org view 1.

Other wise it will give error at the time of sales order

once you do the above, changing of the plant can be handled manually, but if you would like it to be done automatically, then you have to get an abaper involved after the above config, to make the change of plant automatically.

Hi Raj,

the way you have described is what we do in the intercompany sales when there are two company codes.In my case i have only one company code.Also i have to maintain the customer in only one sales area.I think Ramanathan has given the right way to approach,let me try it at my end with the way Mr Ramanathan has explained and i will let you know people.

Thanks

Hi Rishi

Hi Rishi,

The solution which I gave you and which Mr. Raja has given both are same.

I think so you are only confused regarding intercompany sales process.

Intercompany comes when there is 2 company code but in this case you donu2019t have.

But to sale material from plant 1 and 2 then you have to assign them to sales area 1 and 2.

This is a simple process which should be done.

And you have to extend material master also so in sales order it wont give any error mess.

And there are some different setting has to done to activate intercompany which I have not told in my solution.

So you can check out once again my solution that what I was saying.

Regards

Raj.
