Inter-company sales process

[Former Member]

Hi ,

This is regarding the inter-company sales process.

I have checked in the forum but, could not get the exact solution.

My issue is as follows..

Let A, B represents sales organizations of company codes A100 and B100 respectively.

In company code A100, sales org A will create the sales order for a customer.

Company code B100 will create the delivery document as well as ship the goods to the customer.

My problem is in the delivery document header details ,under administration tab which sales organization will be there

is it A or B ?why ?

Hi,

Why because Sales org A of company code A100 orders to Plant of company code B100 to delivery the products to there end customer ie sold to party of Sales org of company code A100. So in organizational tab all data will of ordering party.

In this scenario As you know for intercompany sales we assign sales org and distribution channel of company code A100 (Ordering Company code ) is assigned to plant of company code B100 (Supplying Company Code )in enterprise structure.

For you understanding:

Ordering Company Code:

Which orders goods from Plant belonging to Supplying Company code through its sales organization and bills the end customer.

Supplying Company Code:

Supplies goods from its plant to the end customer specified by the ordering company code and bill the ordering company code.

End customer:

Customer who orders goods from the ordering company code.

Hi,

As per venkataswamy explanation >sales org of company code 2000 (ordering company code- sales org) will be there in the In delivery document header under administration tab.

With reference to your question initially delivery document header under administration tab Sales org A will be there.

Hi,

You are absolutely right, In my case the sales organization under administration tab is A.

As per my analysis, as company code B100 is creating the delivery document , sending the products from its own plant why it cant be the sales organization B under administration tab ?

Hi,

please find the inter-company sales process

In SAP sales & distribution module, an intercompany sales occurs when the selling organization belongs to a different company code than the delivering plant. The transaction path for accessing intercompany sales billing is:

IMG >> Sales and distribution >> Billing >> Intercompany billing

Let us take an example to understand intercompany sales better. Suppose there are two company codes namely 1000 and 2000. A customer may place an order for goods in sales organization belonging to company code 3000. However, the goods may be manufactured by a delivering plant belonging the company code 1000. A sales order is created indicating delivering plant of company code 1000. The sales organization then invoices the customer for the materials purchased. SAP R/3 automatically creates an intercompany billing document at the same time as the customeru2019s billing document is created. This intercompany invoice is sent from the delivering plant to the selling sales organization.

As a rule of thumb, when dealing with different company codes, one may find a need to transfer stock between two different company codes. However, if the stock be transferred within the same company code, there is no need for an intercompany transaction. But in case the stock is transferred between different company codes, a transfer of value occurs and is an intercompany sale.

Hi ,

I agree with your answer but my question is who will create the delivery document(like we generally create in vl01n).

If the delivery document is created by 1000(as per your example ) , what will be the content in the sales organization field present

in the header details of the delivery document.

Hi,

You have to create the sales order from the delivering sales organization that is B.

Now create the delivery and billing will respect to that.

After that create the inter company billing document.

But you have to sales order with different customer number.

And that customer number should be assign to the ordering sales organization.

Just do this kind of process then there will be no problem in the intercompany.

Hi,

First of all, no sales order is used in cross-company sales. STO order (~purchasing document) is used only and with reference to this STO the supplying plant creates the delivery.

In your example:

Sales organisation A (belonging to company code A100) creates a purchase order to procure goods from company code B100. So, delivery created under company code B100's sales organisation B.

That's why LIKP-VKORG will be B - as always the supplying plants sales organisation is in outbound deliveries.

Even if your process is a triangular one (company code B100 supplyies the goods directly to the customer who places its order to company code A100 with sales organisation A), supplying plants creates the delivery and that's why supplying plant's sales organisation will be used.

Hi ,

Your answer is exactly correct in case of cross-company sales.

But I am using the scenario Inter-company sales process.

Your answer is exactly correct in case of cross-company sales.
But I am using the scenario Inter-company sales process

My remaks:

1. Expressions "cross-company" and "inter-company" are synonyms of each other ("cross" and "inter" means that the business process goeas between plants belonging to different company codes).

2. Doesn't matter which kind of outbound delivery you are using, LIKP-VKORG is populated according to the logic defined by me
