One of our client is manufactures of pipes .They have used the pipes which are manufactured in their plant for construction purpose in their company.

How can he create order for the pipes he has used and bill it and show it in accounting.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kiran ,

It should not be handled through Sales Process. check with the FICO Consultant and check with them how to handle this process.

Hi,

Why should not handle that one through Sales Process ?

Without Creation of PO ,SO and BD ,How what based on to handle with FI guys ?

Note : My opinion is create the dummy customer and material and create with PO and based on PO ,create the SO and Proforma Invoice ( Proforma doesn't have accounting entries ,if you want create the accounting ,go to F2 level).

Thanks,

Naren

Hi Narendra ,

As per the info provided, it seems like it is not a sales. It is a consumption. They are using the pipes for their internal purpose. So we should not consider it as a sales.

I know ,Its not Sales its Consumption but in this way only ,we can show accounting as per requirement or else How FICO guys handle for showing Accounting with out any thing ?

Note : As per requirement ,we can create directly billing document with respectively BAPI.

If you have thought or doubts please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi Narendra ,

I do agree that through sales we can do it and there are different ways of meeting it technically. But business wise, i dont think it is the right way of doing it. It has to be decided by the business how they want to handle it and FICO plays a key role in it in the decision making.

Once you start handling through sales, when you do the PGI, COGS (Cost of goods sold) accounts got updated. Is it correct to update it for this process. I am not selling it. You will have issues during P&L analysis.

Firstly they should understand how often this process happens? Based on this, they should define the process. Since i haven't exposed to such an process, i am not in a position to recommend any process.

But i stongly believe that it should not be handled through sales.

Hi,

you are absolutely right but the decision is hands with management ,how they want make this to update accounting perspective in FI side.

I strongly believe that it should not be handled through sales.

If you have hands on this issue ,how can you handle with FI guy or else alone by you

If you know ,how to handle this in FI side ,please let me know.

Thanks,

Naren
