Hi Patricia,
I re-looked your description of Scenario 2 (external procurement) and it appears apparently to me that there are only two plants mentioned - virtual plant (VPLT) and receiving plant whereupon VPLT raises the purchase order for external procurement and sales order is created by receiving plant. Does it mean the process shall be -
1) VPLT raises the purchase order for external procurement of raw materials;
2) VPLT sends raw materials to supply plant to manufacture finished product;
3) Supply plant then transfers finished product to receiving plant for consumption
If this is the case, then the finished product price at the supply plant has already included the purchased price of the raw material.
Cheers,
HT

Subject: Buy at one price, transfer cost to receiver at another price
Colleagues,
I am trying to simplify the way in which my company handles the following scenario and could use some advice. Our current solution is custom, complex, and fragile, and I want to use standard functionality as far as possible.
We have some plants that manufacture Product X. We have other plants that consume Product X in their manufacturing processes. We also buy Product X from external vendors, to be consumed in the same manufacturing processes. Regardless of the actual source, we always invoice the receiving plant at our transfer price -- that is, the cost of receiving the product from our own plants.
I believe the purchasing is easily handled using a reference purchasing organization, so there shouldn't be any issues around GR/IR or paying the outside vendors.
The financials need to work like this: we must pay the vendors the negotiated price. However, we must "bill" the consuming plant at the transfer price.
Vendor invoice: $1,500
Invoice to plant: $1,350
PPV: $150
How do I make the financials work? It's easy enough to create a condition type for the transfer price, so that it is always associated with the PO. My big question is this: Is there any standard functionality that can be used to create the invoice to the receiving plant? Or what other process could I use?
We are on 4.7. All plants are in the same company code. Each plant has its own purchasing organization. We have a unique PO doc type for this process. Thanks in advance for all suggestions. |
