hi,

this is a perfect example of third party sales.

In third-party order processing, your company does not
deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you
pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships
the goods directly to the customer and bills you. A sales
order may consist partly or wholly of third-party items.
Occasionally, you may need to let a vendor deliver items
you would normally deliver yourself. The following graphic
shows how a third party business transaction is processed.

Process Flow

The processing of third-party orders is controlled via
material types. Material types define whether a material is
produced only internally, can be ordered only from third-
party vendors, or whether both are possible. For example, a
material that is defined as a trading good can only be
ordered from a third-party vendor. However, if you
manufacture your own finished products, you may also want,
from time to time, to be able to order the same type of
product from other vendors.

Third-party items can be created automatically by the
system, depending on how your system is set. However, you
can also change a standard item to a third-party item
during sales processing manually.

Automatic third-party order processing

If a material is always delivered from one or more third-
party vendors, you can specify in the material master that
the material is a third-party item. During subsequent sales
order processing, the system automatically determines the
appropriate item category for a third-party item: TAS. To
specify a material as a third-party item, enter BANS in the
Item category group field in the Sales 2 screen of the
material master record.

Manual third-party order processing

In the case of a material that you normally deliver
yourself but occasionally need to order from a third-party
vendor, you can overwrite the item category during sales
order processing. For a material that you normally deliver
yourself, you specify the item category group NORM in the
material master.

If, as an exception, you use a third-party material, change
the entry TAN to TAS in the ItCa field when processing the
sales document. The item is then processed as third-party
item.

If address data for the ship-to party is changed in the
sales order in third-party business transactions, the
changed data will automatically be passed on to purchase
requisition and also to the purchase order ,if one already
exists. In the purchase order, you can display the address
data for the ship-to party in the attributes for the item.
You can only change the address data for the ship-to party
in the sales order for third-party business transactions,
and not in the purchase order.

Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales
Customize the third party sales in summary:

1. Create Vendor XK01

2. Create Material , Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item
category group as "BANS".

3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are
going to use.

4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated
at the background

5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The
company raises PO to the vendor.

6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM
receives the invoice MIRO

7. Goods receipt MIGO

8. Goods issue

9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant
for delivery which is evident from the config and,
therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the
whole process of Third party sales.

10. Billing
