Purchase for a plant of another company

[former_member271718]

Hi there,

I have a question about purchasing for a plant of another company (CC) then the purchase org itselfs.

Intro:

It is possible to buy goods from an external vendor to a plant of another company then the procurement department. In that case the purchase organization should not be assigned to any company, but to the plants involved.

Suppose The purchase org. is assigened to a plant PL1 in CC1 and PL2 in CC2, CC2 will only be used to keep the stock at ownership of CC2. Procurement and sales takes place in CC1. For sales from CC1 Inter compay sales will be used.

Procurement:

1. Purchase order CC! and plant PL2 (CC2).
2. GR plant PL2 in CC2
3. MIGO CC1.

Questions:

1. Do we need, except the Purchase Org assigned to the proper plants, any intercompany settings?
2. I am not an FI expert, but shouldn't be there any settlement between CC1 and CC2?

Hi

As per my understanding of your query I would suggest as follows:

Create a cross company purchasing org. wherein you don't assign it to any company code but to the plants PL1 and PL2.

Procurement always take place at purchase org level, thus as mentioned in your query procurement through company code CC1 will not have any significance, as the plant PL2 stores the stock, create purchase order for plant PL2 and perform MIGO referring the same purchase order.

Sales always take place at Company code level and hence your requirement to perform sales activity through Company code CC1 is relevant. Create two sales organization one for each company code and perform inter company sales. Once the goods are received at plant PL1 the same can be sold to customer/ consumers.

Answering to your question:

A1. There are no inter company settings just create cross company purchase org.

A2. The accounts has to be settled since inter company sales is performed.

Hi Saket,

My solution was the same as in your mail, the only difference was that I decided to have the purchasing all in CC2. In that way I don't have to de-assign the purchase org from the company and yes I have to define the organizations elements (sale org. etc) and masterdata in CC2.

Thanks for you helpfull answer.
