Hello Experts,

I am configuring Third party sales process.and got the suffcient help from old posts.But i got stuck in MIGO step.While doing MIGO we have to enter PO and Delivery Note No so where to find delivery note no.?

Another confusion is, In some of the posts in community,for third party sales configuratuion MIGO is one of the step while in other similar posts there is no MIGO step instead they have shown direct MIRO after PO creation so which i should follow ?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Do you really just follow what others have posted and do not double check with the SAP documentation and even more important with your business needs and some logical thoughts?

In all our >750 plants is a guy who receives the material that is coming in, he compares the paperwork with the goods and then enters the receipt in SAP.

This is the normal and logical process of a receipt in your warehouse.

And now compare this with a 3rd party sales, where the goods are shipped from your vendor directly to your customer.

The warehouse guy does not get any papers from a truck driver, he can't count any goods before he could do something in SAP, he does not even know about this order. And exact this situation is the basis for the standard design: no goods receipt, just invoice.

And any deviation is made because of some special requirements (legal and country specific, or just because of an almighty finance department which can't understand that some of their requirements do not make much sense in logistics. e.g. mandatory 3way matches PO - GR - IR which is not worth the name if you force warehouse people to make theoretical receipts which physically never happened and cannot be verified.

Hi

Agree with the previous post. Both methods are possible, and up to your company to decide on the best method considering legal requirements, and how confident you are that your supplier will exactly adhere to the products and quantities. Remember the data (esp Quantity) on the MIRO invoice is used to bill your customer, so very important this is accurate.

We have used the GR method in the past for Third Party Sales, and used the Consignment Note number that the vendor used from their system to deliver the product to our customer as the Delivery Note on our MIGO posting. This is useful as it then appears on the AP payment, and can also be used on the Customer Invoice as a reference, allowing the customer to match the order in your system, with the delivery they received from the vendor.

The ideal scenario is if you vendor can send you the Delivery details, as an Idoc, and you process it as a GR, putting their Delivery # into our GR.
