3.11 Installing Customer Program to Modify Data

Transfer Formula 901
Use
This activity is used to deal with “Invoice Split with Billing Document Creation and Credit Memo
Procedure”.
With the self-billing procedure, the vendor has created a delivery and an invoice. The customer
posts the goods receipt (with the number of the delivery note from the vendor) in his or her
system and creates a credit memo. The customer sends the number of this credit memo to the
vendor via EDI (IDoc = SBWAP). The number of the delivery note from the vendor is sent in this
EDI message. The credit memo IDoc is then processed by the vendor's system. Using the
delivery note number sent with the IDoc, the R/3 System attempts to determine the billing
document number via the document flow. If this search is successful, the customer's credit memo
number is in the Reference field in the header of the accounting document (which is linked to the
SD billing document).

© SAP AG Page 42 of 100

SAP Best Practices Automotive Basic Settings: Configuration Guide

If the vendor has created several deliveries (documents), the standard SAP System always
attempt to combine these deliveries in one invoice after it create the SD invoice. To do so, the
system checks specific data (for example, whether the payer customer number, terms of
payment, and so on are the same). If the result of this check is positive, one invoice can contain
all the deliveries. Invoice combination can be carried out with the following transactions:
VT12: Shipment completion (VF04 is processed in the background),
VF01: Create billing document (if several delivery numbers for billing are entered),
VF04: Process billing due list.
The customer posts a goods receipt for each delivery and sends a credit memo (IDoc = SBWAP)
to the vendor for each goods receipt. If the vendor has combined the deliveries in one invoice, the
same invoice number is found for each credit memo (via the deliver note number). In this case,
the accounting document can be given only one credit memo number.
Invoice combination is not desirable with the credit memo procedure between customer and
vendor; this is to ensure that each credit memo number can be updated in a separate
"Reference" field in the accounting document header. In the vendor's system, each delivery note
and billing document must be posted one to one. In addition, data transfer formula 901 (which
replaces data transfer formula 001) must be added to copy control: delivery with type YALF,
billing document with type YAF2, and item category YZN, this data transfer formula does not
permit invoice combination. In other words, deliveries are not combined in one invoice.
Explanation
The vendor creates a shipment with two SD deliveries for the customer. During completion of this
shipment (transaction VT12), a goods issue is posted for both deliveries; the status of the
shipment is set to "completed"; and the two deliveries are combined in one invoice (standard SAP
System).
The customer posts two goods receipts. During these postings, the customer enters the delivery
note numbers of the vendor as reference numbers. On the basis of the two goods receipts, the
credit memo procedure is carried out in the customer's system by means of two invoice
verifications: Logistics  Materials Management  Invoice Verification  Logistics Invoice
Verification  Further Processing  Execute Automotive ERS. The two credit memo procedure
IDocs are sent to the vendor via EDI.
Using these "credit memo procedure" IDocs (SBWAP), the vendor's system determines the SD
invoice number via the delivery note numbers (posted with the goods receipt in the customer's
system). The system then updates the credit memo number in the invoice header. The vendor's
system interprets the MM invoice numbers as credit memo numbers.
The customer sends a credit memo for both goods receipts. Since there is only one invoice in the
vendor's system, the first credit memo number in the reference field in the accounting document
is overwritten when the second credit memo is sent.
With an invoice split in the vendor's system, this number is not overwritten. This is because there
are two invoices with two accounting documents, which means that the credit memo information
can be updated correctly in the vendor's system.

The following activities are ABAP4 program related, we recommended that this activity
is performed by one skilled ABAP4 programmer and one application consultant.

3.11.1 Maintaining Requirements & Types

Use

key, register on OSS or SAP Service Marketplace for the access keys.

3.11.2 Editing Objects

Use
In this step, you add your ABAP4 extension.

Procedure
The string VBRK-ZUKRI is generated for each delivery and delivery item. If specific header data
matches this string, the deliveries are copied to one invoice. Because the delivery note number
has been added as a string field, each delivery note and invoice is posted one to one. The string
is generated not only at the header level; it is generated for each delivery item.
NB: Data transfer formula 901 is a copy of 001.

3.13 KANBAN
Procedure

In SAP system, several KANBAN procedures are available:

 Classic KANBAN
 KANBAN with Quantity Signal
 One-Card KANBAN

© SAP AG Page 56 of 100

SAP Best Practices Automotive Basic Settings: Configuration Guide

 Even-Driven KANBAN
In this building block, only classic KANBAN is used.

Use
In the classic KANBAN production control method, the demand source, the supply source and the
procedure to be used to replenish the material are defined in the control cycle as well as the
number of KANBANs that circulate between the supply source and the demand source and the
quantity per KANBAN.

In this classic KANBAN procedure, the KANBAN signal always only triggers replenishment for the
KANBAN quantity defined in the control cycle. Moreover, you cannot circulate more KANBANs
than are defined in the control cycle without changing the control cycle first.
In KANBAN production control, depending on the setting in the material master, you have two
options for organizing replenishment: with or without MRP:

 Without MRP: Replenishment is only triggered by the KANBAN signal. Materials for
which replenishment is only triggered by the KANBAN signal are not planned in the
planning run. However, you can include these materials in long-term planning.

 With MRP: The materials are planned in the planning run and corresponding
procurement proposals are created. These procurement proposals do not directly trigger
replenishment but provide a preview of future consumption. In this process,
replenishment is triggered by the KANBAN signal.
Four different kinds of replenishment strategies are preconfigured in this building block to be used
in different scenarios. Therefore four sets of master data are set up for these four replenishment
strategies. In this building block, all the four kinds of replenishment strategies are used as with
MRP.

KANBAN Control
The functions of KANBAN control explain, amongst other things, how the signal is triggered to
replenish a material and which replenishment strategies are available. In this building block, the
setting is focusing on different replenishment strategies. And use system default and standard for
the other setting such as KANBAN signal and KANBAN board and so on.

3.13.1 Maintaining Replenishment Strategy for In-house

Production

Use
There are several replenishment strategies available for in-house production. With following
steps, you have all the necessary settings for replenishment using Run Schedule Quantities.

You use this function when you produce the necessary material yourself, using repetitive
manufacturing. As soon as a KANBAN is set to EMPTY the system creates run schedule
quantities for this material, for example planned orders for repetitive manufacturing, and this
triggers production.

In this step, you define the settings for the replenishment strategies for materials that are
produced in-house.

3.13.2 Maintaining Replenishment Strategy for External

Procurement

Use
There are several replenishment strategies available for external procurement. With following
steps, you have all the necessary settings for replenishment using Scheduling Agreement.

You use this function when you have negotiated a scheduling agreement with a vendor for a
certain material. The scheduling agreement determines the purchase quantity for a longer period
of time. As soon as a KANBAN is set to EMPTY, the system generates a schedule line for this
scheduling agreement.

In this step, you define the settings for the external procurement strategies.
