What is Intercompany Sales? • A sales process where a sales organization sells to a customer, but delivery and billing are handled by another company code within the same corporate group. • Used by multinational corporations for optimized supply chains. • Triggers intercompany billing between delivering and ordering company codes.
Business Scenario Example: • Sales Org A (Germany) takes a sales order from a customer. • Delivering Plant belongs to Company Code B (USA). • Company Code B delivers goods to the customer. • Company Code A bills the customer. • Company Code B bills Company Code A (Intercompany Invoice).
SAP Intercompany Process Flow 1. Customer places order with Sales Org A. 2. Sales order is created (Plant = Company Code B). 3. Delivery is processed from Plant (Company Code B). 4. Goods issue is posted. 5. Billing to the customer (Invoice). 6. Intercompany billing between Company B and Company A.
Configuration Overview Key configuration steps: • Maintain organizational structure (cross-company setup). • Assign delivering plant to sales organization. • Define intercompany customer (between company codes). • Maintain pricing procedure with intercompany condition types. • Configure billing document types (IV, etc.). • Set up automatic posting (E.g., account determination, pricing).
Master Data Requirements • Customer Master: - Sold-to party (external customer) - Intercompany customer (between company codes) • Material Master: - Available in both delivering and ordering plants • Condition Records: - Intercompany pricing maintained in VK11 (PI01 or other custom condition)
Intercompany Billing (IV Document) • Generated after PGI and customer billing. • Uses special billing type (e.g., IV). • Posting triggered in FI between company codes. • Automatic account postings using pricing and account determination.
Reporting and Reconciliation Use standard SAP reports: • VF05, VF03 – Billing Documents • MB51 – Material Movement • FBL1N / FBL3N – Vendor / G/L reconciliation • Ensure reconciliation between intercompany AP/AR ledgers.
Benefits of Intercompany Sales • Streamlined logistics and inventory management • Centralized order management • Transparent intercompany transactions • Accurate internal billing and profitability tracking
Challenges and Considerations • Currency exchange rate fluctuations • Tax and compliance regulations • Master data accuracy • Timing differences between delivery and billing
Summary • Intercompany sales facilitate internal fulfillment across company codes. • Requires coordination between SD, MM, and FI. • Master data and configuration are critical to success. • Provides transparent accounting and logistics.
