Improved functionality with Advanced intercompany sales in SAP S/4HANA FPS01 and FPS02 releases

Advanced intercompany (AIC)sales has been introduced in S/4HANA 2022 release as described in my SAP Press book https://www.sap-press.com/introducing-advanced-intercompany-sales-and-stock-transfer-with-sap-s4hana_5743/ and blog https://www.dhirubhai.net/posts/mrinalkroy_activity-7021224794213761024-paiE?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop.

AIC Sales functionality will evolve in upcoming releases.

S/4HANA 2022 release: ?it is possible to create an intercompany invoice even if the delivery quantity is nil.

There may be scenarios that the delivering plant is EWM (Extended warehouse management) managed, and an ERP delivery has been distributed to EWM for certain quantity. That product may be damaged or can not be delivered to the customer for specific reasons. EWM has a functionality to reduce the quantity to nil with process code (like O001) which also updates the ERP delivery quantity to nil. S/4HANA 2022 release allows to create the intercompany invoice (though of nil amount) as depicted in below image, which many customers do like / want.

Fiori app ‘Value chain monitor’ also shows Intercompany invoice and Customer invoice as completed .

S/4HANA 2023 FPS01 Release: ?it is NOT possible to create an intercompany invoice even if the delivery quantity is nil.

An ERP outbound (OD) delivery 80004094 1 has been distributed to EWM which has also created an EWM outbound delivery order (ODO) with same number and quantity as displayed in below image.

Delivery quantity in EWM ODO has been reduced to nil with EWM process code O001 as depicted in below image.

Delivery quantity in ERP OD also gets reduced to nil as shown in below image.

It is now a new feature that the intercompany invoice can not be created as is displayed in below image.

S/4HANA 2023 FPS02 Release: SAP has further improved the solution be setting a 'Reason for rejection (RfR)' automatically in the sales order in delivering company as depicted in below image. Intercompany invoice also does not appear in the app 'Monitor value chain' as in below image.

Hence , this new feature of no possibility to create the intercompany invoice for delivery with nil quantity and Reason for rejection in sales order in delivering company will help in better repoting and eliminate subsequent documents . My blog shows with EWM managed storage location, same functionality is also possible with IM managed storage location at delivering plant.

This blog is based on my personal insights, observation, and tests in SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS01 and FPS02 releases . Will appreciate your views / comment and feedback.
