The scenario is that one of our mumbai depot has started receiving material directly from vendor and not from plant and the material will then be sold to customer from mumbai plant...

Hi Urvi,

I have small question in your scenario.

As per ur explanation in this statment "mumbai depot has started receiving material directly from vendor " you are saying that depot is receiving the goods from the vendor. In SAP how you are receiving these goods to Mumbai Depot? If this is through Intra company Stock transfer then Mumbai Depot is plant. Then you can do the sales from that plant it self.

How U Configured this Mumbai Depot in your system.

Is this Mumbai Depot is a Customer? Or Is this Mumbai Depot is Stock Keeping Unit?

In our business process we are configured Depot as Plant.

Revert if i understand wrong.

If you mean that your supplier delivers directly to your customer then please look at third party processing.

You create a sales order with item category TAS.

SAP creates a purch req from which you create a PO with your customer as delivery address.

Once the supplier has delivered to your customer, you bill the customer.

See <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/70/a7853478616434e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/70/a7853478616434e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm</a> for more on third party processing.

When I am doing J1IS for usnig OTHR document type I am giving refrence of supplementary invoice no.

As the document is getting posted in J1IV the reference field is coming blank,the requirement is that the reference field should get updated with the field excise reference document in J1IS.

Hi Urvi,

The statement "The finished goods arrives directly to depot and needs to be sold to customer" itself suggests that the goods are coming to the Depot from the manufactured location which would be nothing but the plant.

In this case you can have Stock transfer from the factory to Depot and then from Depot you can sell.
