Third-party order processing
In
third-party order processing, the business passes the order from the customer,
to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and
bills the business.
•
When
a third party order is saved, purchase requisition is automatically created and
forwarded to the purchase department.
•
The
purchase department then creates the purchase order on the third-party vendor
indicating that all goods are to be delivered directly to the customer.
•
The
vendor delivers the goods to the customer and bills the business for the same.
•
The
business then bills the customer for the goods delivered by the vendor after
verifying the invoice receipt.
The
processing of third-party orders is controlled via material types which define
whether a material is produced only internally, can be ordered only from
third-party vendors, or whether both are possible.
•
If
a material is always delivered from one or more third-party vendors, material
is maintained as third-party item. BANS is entered in the Item category
group field in the Sales 2 screen of the material master record.
System determines the item category as TAS while processing the material in the
order.
•
In
the case of a material that business delivers itself but occasionally orders
from a third-party vendor, the item category of the material is manually
changed from TAN to TAS during sales order processing.
Maintain Schedule line cateogories
•
Third-party
items are processed by creating a normal sales order.
•
The
system uses TAS as the standard third party item category.
