2 Plants in a sales orders process at different steps

[former_member331665]

Hi Gurus,

Requirement:

Order & billing will be done at Plant A

Delivery will be done by Plant B.

Please note this is in Same company code & sales org is same.

Such scenarios is called "Ship From & Bill From" & allowed in GST India.

Shipping & billing plant will be different.

Below are the steps i did

I did sales order & then directly billing with Plant A

& for delivery i used [VL01NO] w/o order reference where i entered Plant B & create delivery & also entered Sales order number in delivery text or system will not save delivery.

With Logic i will update in report.

The problem:

Sales order with available qty was 100 with plant A

In delivery, since i used different plant available qty was different. Plus there was no control in billing.

I billed for all 100 qty with reference to sales order but actually available was 70 qty in delivery (different plant) & PGIed 70 qty only.

So, it creates discrepancy

Is this the right approach?

Please help

Can you clarify that order will be received by Plant A who also will bill the Sold-To but the materials would be delivered directly to Ship-To from Plant B?

In that case, from Business point of view, would like to have certain clarifications.

• Is Plant A & B are in same state?
• If not, how currently, taxes are being recorded?
• What document would be handed over to transporter when Plant B dispatches the material directly? As per GST law, the transporter need to have an invoice copy and as per your statement, it will be from Plant A. Is this acceptable from statutory point of view?

Hi Lakshmi,

I have a similar scenario but the concern is not about the tax.

Scenario:

Order and billing is recorded at profit center of plant A (branch/sales office A), but plant B (branch/sales office B) will do the delivery. Both Plant A and Plant B are assigned to a single sales org. Requirement is that the sales should be recorded at the supposed profit center of Plant A (Branch A).

I am aware that we can change the profit center in the sales order to be the profit center of plant A (or do profit center substitution using sales office A). However, on the accounting perspective, is this the correct way to do that? if not, would you know how to cater this business case as this is not intracompany sales as well, I believe.
