Hi

Dear experts I need your guidance regarding configuring SD module. Scenario is like there are 2 company codes lets say X1 and X2. X1 has 50 branch office (12 in delhi, 12 in kolkata, 13 in mumbai, 13 in chennai) and x2 has only one production unit at Bangalor. x2 also uses x1's regional offices and branch offices for their sales activity. company has 4 regional offices and 4 regional distribution channel namely delhi, mumbai, kokata, chennai. some additional informations are like mumbai is head office kolkata is R&D center and project too, 7 manufacturing plants are their.

my quarry is how do i configure Branch offices as plant or storage location ? and why

further is there any other way out for configuration of the branch office as sales is also happening through the branch office and regional offices and plant.

Thanks

Hi ,

Considering your business requirement !!! You need to create one production plant i.e Bangalore.

Secondly you need to check whether there is any stock storage or movement between production plant and branch offices. If so than you need to create them as a plant to consider the case of STO and sales from branch office .

Also after creating plants you configure inter company sales and STO.

It is never suggested to create the branch office as storage location.

Hope this will resolve your issue!!

Do you store goods in Branch offices?

If yes than you will have to t reat them as plants / depots because there is excise & sales tax duties involved.

If the Branch offices dont store goods, & are merely office, then you can create them as Sales Offices.

Please let us know your detailed requirement.. .

Hope this helps.. .

Hi,

Just to make any attempt to this complex scenario.

You can create the Bangalore production as unique PLANT, for rest of the RO create them as them Sales Office with, make sure that there is a relationship maintained between Company code and Plant (cross division).

in this way you need not create multiple plant and storgae location, just sufficient enough to carry out your transactions.
