plant issue during cross company sales orders creation

[cathy_liang]

Hi experts,

When creating sales orders, the system pops up "Maintain plant XX for the sales area Message no. V1762". I have gone through nearly all the relevant thread in the forum but failed to solve it.

Moreover, the plant is just assigned to one of two company codes (the company who delivers goods). In OVX6, the plant has been assigned to two sales organizations properly as well as distribution channels. Those two sales organizations belong to two company codes separately.

Should I delete the plant assignment, and re-assign it to the company who receives customers' orders? Pls help to solve. Thx.

Hi Raja, Lakshmipathi,

After further learning & testing, I still fail to solve it. Taken Raja's example, would you pls pinpoint errors in my settings below? Many many thanks.

1. Internal customer XYZ

1.1 create it under company code ABCD / sales organization ABCD / distribution channel AB / division CD / delivery plant ABCD

(set "internal company account receivables" as reconciliation account)

1.2 extend it to sales organization 1234 / distribution channel 12 / division 34

(not set reconciliation account, not set delivery plant)

1.3 assign it to sales organization 1234

2. "Assign Organizational Units to the Plants" in SPRO

plant ABCD - sales organization ABCD - distribution channel AB

3. "Assign company code to company" in SPRO

company code ABCD - company ABCD

company code 1234 - company 1234

4. "Assign plant to company code" in SPRO

plant ABCD - company code ABCD

5. "Assign sales organization - distribution channel - plant" in SPRO

sales organiztion ABCD - distribution channel AB - plant ABCD

fail to assign plant ABCD to sales organization 1234 due to error messages:

"The sales org. is part of company code 11234, plant ABCD is part of comp.code ABCD"

"Organizational data for inter-company billing missing in plant ABCD"

Dear cathy,

> "The sales org. is part of company code 11234, plant ABCD is part of comp.code ABCD"

this is just an information message.

> "Organizational data for inter-company billing missing in plant ABCD"

this error is coming because of incompleteness of org structure of ABCD.

I request you to please check the organizational part of ABCD in t code OVVA and ovv9.

Thanks,

raja

Hi Raja,

I have maintained them & double checked. Pls refer to my point 1.3 & point 2 separately. Any errors?

Hi

I faced the same issue

Please go to OVV9 and check your assignment to plant is complete.

plant = sales org + DC + Div

If a single unit is missing, you will get this error.

Plz refer this attached screen

Hi Cathy,

I am assuming that you are setting up an intercompany process.

You need to maintain the shipping data for your plant (the one that is the delivering plant in your sales order).

To do so go in customising:

Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase order -> Setup Stock Transport Order -> Define Shipping data for plants

You need to indicate the sales area there (sales org/ DC as well as the Div for intercompnay billing)

Hope it helps.

Hi Cathy,

Did you check the intercompany customer? Whether its assigned to the sales area?

If not check this setting-->

Define internal customer no by sales orgn

create the customer of the ordering company in the company code of the delivering plant, but with the sales area of the ordering the company

Thanks,

Raja

Hi Raja,

Do you mean the settings for intercompany customer master should be as followings? If yes, the error message still exists.

By the way, I assign the intercompany customer to the supplying company. Am I right?

company code = supplying company code

sales area = ordering company (delivery plant = supplying plant)

Hi Cathy,

Let me explain you this with an example : as i feel its some what confusing chapter

Company Code : ABCD

Sales Org ABCD

DC : AB

Div : CD

Plant : ABCD

Second company code

Company code : 1234

Plant 1234

Here ABCD is delivering product to 1234,

Now the inter company customer is created in the delivering plant sales area and it has to be extended to ordering plant sales area It means , Say Customer XYZ will be created in ABCD/AB/CD with company code ABCD.

Now extend this customer to 1234/12/34 sales area.

company code should be different as you are doing inter company billing

This XYZ customer must be assigned in the ordering plant

Check here :-SDBillingIntercomapany billing ---Assign Organizational Units to the Plants

Thanks,

Raja
