Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Set up the procedure for certain plants in different company codes using stock transport orders with LE outbound deliveries and SD invoices
Business Example
Some materials are procured by the Paris location of the French branch of your enterprise via a stock transfer from the central warehouse of the German branch in Dresden. Shipping for this kind of replenishment delivery should proceed exactly in the same way as for customer deliveries. As the two locations are too far away from each other, the goods receipt is not posted in the receiving plant at the same time as the good issue is posted.
Task 1
Your enterprise has decided to implement cross-company-code stock transfers with the help of stock transport orders, and to use LE outbound delivery to execute the shipping process. Intercompany billing then occurs using the SD billing document.
1. Make an entry that determines a used delivery type for replenishment deliveries in cross-company-code stock transfers in the supplying plant 12##. To do this, use the following data:
Purchasing document type: NB
Supplying plant: 12##
Delivery type: NLCC
Checking rule: RP
Shipment scheduling should be executed.
2. Ensure that the two-step procedure is used for stock transfers with supplying plant 12## and receiving plant 22##. Make a corresponding entry.
Supplying plant: 12##
Plant: 22##
Purchasing document type: NB
Task 2
In your scenario, plant 22## represents the goods recipient and the payer. A customer master record is necessary for this. In the stock transfer process, different shipping and billing data such as the goods recipient address and terms of payment is taken from this customer master record. 1. Create a customer master record, that is to represent plant 22## from
the accounting and the sales view (that is, Total).
Create a debtor with the following details. Use the copy function (use a reference debtor).
Account group: Internal debtor
Debtor: 220## Company code: 1000 Sales organization: 1000 Distribution channel: 12 Division: 00 Reference: Debtor: 22000 Company code: 1000 Sales organization: 1000 Distribution channel: 12 Division: 00 Address:
Name: Division 22## Paris
Search term 1/2: 22##
Street/house number: rue des Erables 32 Post code/place: 75015 Paris
Region: 75
Transportation zone: F000010000 Control data:
Partner company ID: 2200
VAT registration number: FR93341612695
Sales area data/billing document: Tax classification: 0
2. Assign customer number 220## to receiving plant 22##.
3. Supplying plant 12## is to be represented by vendor master record T-S100##. Store the relevant entry in the vendor master record. Sales organization: 2200
4. Optional
Must you enter a sales area for receiving plant 22## for the purposes of intercompany billing, for your cross-company-code stock transfer process to function correctly? Give reasons for your answer.

Must you enter a sales area for receiving plant 22## for the purposes of intercompany billing, for your cross-company-code stock transfer process to function correctly? Give reasons for your answer.
Answer:
For a stock transfer process using LE outbound delivery and SD billing document to function correctly, a sales organization, distribution channel and division for intercompany billing need to be assigned merely to the supplying plant. These organizational units do not need to be assigned for the receiving plant, since its role is like that of a customer in the process. Rather, the related customer master record must exist in the corresponding sales area.
