Inter-Company with Material Flow to Subsidiary

The main goal of this scenario is to offer small susidiaries/partners on demand the fast delivery of material centrally stored by the group. The ATP-check in the central distribution system provides the sales person selling locally with high delivery reliability. Therefore stock at the subsidiaries/partner sides can be reduced to the most frequently sold items.

Inter-Company with Material Flow to Subsidiary SAP Business One at the subsidiaries / partners side is responsible for selling company products to the end customer. The availabilty of items, which are not located at the subsidiaries are being checked automatically in the central SAP R/3 system. The information about the stock situation of a central distribution center is stored in a central SAP R/3 system of the group. In this scenario the customer is asking for a material, which is not available on stock at the subsidiary location. To provide the customer with a reliable information about the availabilty and the delivery date of the material, the sales person at the subsidiaries creates a quotation in SAP Business One. The quotation is automatically transferred to the SAP R/3 system in "real time". Here a quotation is created with reference to the SAP Business One quotation and an ATP check is executed. The result of the ATP check is transferred to SAP Business One system. Here the information is stored as an alert. In case the information leads to a sales process with the end customer, the sales person at the subsidiary creates a purchase order in SAP Business One to order the material from the central R/3 distribution center. This purchase order is being transferred to the SAP R/3 system, where a sales order is being created with reference. The process is continued with creating a delivery in SAP R/3, which leads to an Advanced Shipping Notification (in form of an alert) in SAP Business One. An outgoing invoice in R/3, which creates an incoming invoice with reference in SAP Business One closes the process. All changes on SAP R/3 or SAP Business One documents lead to changes in the reference document. * = This business process is supported by Best Practices for SAP Business Suite.
