Explain the Inter Company Sales Process. In SAP sales & distribution module, an intercompany sales o ccurs 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 examp le 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 customer¶s billing document docu ment is created. This intercompany invoice is sent from the delivering plant tothe selling sales organization. As a rule of thumb, when dealing dea ling with different company codes, one mayfind a need to transfer stock between two different company codes. However,if Ho wever,if the stock be transferred within the same company co de, there is no needfor an intercompany transaction. But in case the stock is transferred betweendifferent company codes, a transfer of value occurs and is an intercompanysale. --In inter- company sales process, no PO will raise. raise. While creating sales order, if the end user knowsthere is no stock on their plant, they request for their sister concerncompany to deliver these ordered o rdered goods to the customer directly, afterdelivery they will receive intercompany invoice from the delivering compa nycode, that¶s the reason you enter delivering plant while creating salesorder. Below is the inter-company check list: Check all your settings once aga in for creatinginter-company billing: - Material should exist in both plants. - Stock will be maintained in D-Plant (Delivering).
- Now Plant - R (Receiving) become the customerof Plant-D. So create a dummy customer in Plant-D's company codeand sales area. - Assign this customer number to Plant -R's details& its selling sales area. - Maintain the intercomapny billing type (IV)in ur sales doc t ype (OR). - Assign the Plant-D to selling sales org+ dbtchanne l. - Maintain relevant copy controls between documents. - Determine pricing procedure for Standard (RVAA01)as well as Intercompany (ICAA01) (Note: Dummy customer's CPP, IV doc's DPP alongwith Delivering plant's sales area) - Maintain the condition records for Conditiontype PI01- VK11 (Note: In ICAA01, you won't find any PI01 Ctype,but you'll find IV01-, if you observe the details of IV01 C.type in V/06,it has the ref Ctype as "PI01" , through which t he condition record ofPI01 is shared to IV01 also..) - Now create VA01, enter the required fields,in delivering plant -enter Plant-D, @ item level as well as @ header level,and save, - Create Delivery VL01n, with ref to SO, - Create Billing VF01 (with ref to DEL)--- observebill type-F2, - Create Billing VF01 (with ref to DEL again)--observethe bill type-IV.
