Problem inThird Party Process

[Former Member]

Hi all

I searched a lot about third party process, but I have a problem:

In all flows found in the internet, there in no MIGO step like below pictures:

The problem is: without MIGO step after PO and before MIRO, system does not fill "amount and quantity" fields in MIRO with reference to PO. But when I issue a MIGO by reference to PO then go to MIRO, the mentioned fields are filled.

What is the correct method? using MIGO or not??

Regards.

Hi Mona,

In third party order processing, doing MIGO is required and please note that it is a statistical GRN which does not update the inventory for your site.

Hi,

Amount and Quantity is not updating without GR is a standard process for MIRO.

The Third party process is follow:

Entering a Sales Order

You enter a third-party item in a sales order. The system automatically creates a purchase requisition item for each third-party item in the sales order.

Entering a Purchase Order to Vendor

You enter a purchase order with a third-party item with reference to the requisition third-party item.

Delivering Goods to Customer

The vendor supplies the goods to the customer. To document this step in the system, you can post a statistical goods receipt in Inventory Management. However, this is not compulsory.

Entering a Vendor Invoice

The vendor sends you an invoice. You enter the invoice receipt in Invoice Verification. The invoice receipt is necessary before a billing document can be created in SD.

Creating a Billing Document for the Customer

In SD, you create a billing document for the sales order. Depending on the Customizing settings (whether or not the billing-relevant indicator is set for the item category in SD), you draw up the billing document on the basis of the order quantity or on the basis of the quantity specified in the vendor invoice. If the customer is billed on the basis of the order quantity, you can create the billing document immediately after the sales order is entered. If the customer is billed on the basis of the quantity specified in the vendor invoice, you cannot create the billing document until the vendor invoice has been entered in Invoice Verification.

Hi,

   In third party procurement, the GR is statistical. Even if you do GR, the stock wont get updated in the system.

   The MIRO issue is a standard behavior. If you are doing MIRO without doing GR, the quantity and amount wont be copied to MIRO.

   If you want to track the GR in customer location, you can do MIGO against third party PO in your system. Even if you are doing, the stock wont get update in your system. That is why it is called statistical GR. Also, if you are doing GR, the quantity and corresponding amount will be copied to MIRO. Standard third party process wont affect even if you are doing GR or not.

   Hope its clear.
