1MX Intercompany Billing

[Annemarie_de_jo]

Hi Experts,

Working with Intercompany sales, 1MX in S/4Hana Cloud, we found that the supplying entity that manufactures the finished product, only can create the intercompany invoice AFTER the selling entity has created the invoice to the customer. We have a scenario that we face a timing issue between the delivery and the invoicing to the customer. The supplying entity would like to create the intercompany invoice directly after posting Goods Issue of the delivery.

In 2022 Q1 release, Advanced Intercompany Sales is described. Would that also have a solution for this? is currently another solution available in Cloud to create the intercompany invoice before commercial invoice?

Thanks in Advance!

Annemarie

Hi Annemarie, thank you for your question.

On our roadmap I indeed see that there are plans for Advanced Intercompany Processes. I am trying to reach out to the product owners to find out whether they have already some details and insights they can share in regards to the situation you described.

As soon as I know more I will share accordingly.

Best regards,

Esther

Hi Annemarie,

Today I had a conversation with one of our Intercompany experts and I shared this question with him.

For 3 specific scenarios - Sales From Stock with Valuated stock in transit (SI 5MQ); Advanced InterCompany Stock transfer Order (SI 5HP); Advanced InterCompany Sale From Stock (SI 5D2)) - the team is now looking for customers who are interested to learn more about this.

If you are please let us know how we can reach you or feel free to drop me an email (esther.vrieze@sap.com) and I can connect you with the colleague responsible.

Thanks, Esther

Hi Annemarie,

1HO/1MX technically needs to keep the sequence of invoices and it will stay like this.

New "Advanced Intercompany Sale from Stock" scenario does not have this limitation as each invoice is issued in reference to its own sales order. To be more precise new process automatically generates chain of documents from customer sales order. By saving customer sales order system generates matching purchase order with delivering affiliate as supplier in CoCd of selling affiliate and matching sales order with delivering affiliate with Selling affiliate as customer. There is only one delivery document and customer sales order is leading object.

Also, supplier invoice on reference to purchase order, from described chain above, is used where 1HO/1MX would use iDoc to generate AP document.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Milan

Hi Annemarie,

I was able to validate your scenario with the product owner and he has confirmed that the described issue is solved by the upcoming Advanced Intercompany Sales process. I am trying to confirm if the timing you indicated (Q1 2022) is still valid. As you know SAP always adds the famous disclaimer 'can be changed at any time' hence I wanted to see if I could validate this is still valud but I have not been able to confirm this yet. If I do, I will let you know.

Best regards,

Esther

Thank you Esther. At least this is an indicator that this issue (Raise intercompany invoice from suppling entity after Goods Issue to customer) is on the radar screen.

Best regards
