Hi friends,

Business scenario :

To add menu exit for tcode LI11N ,under the 'Extras' menu item.

Analysis :

There is no menu exit available for the tcode LI11N. So, alternatively ,customer asks for a pop-up menu ,which asks for HAWB/Shipment reference number,whenever user clicks the SAVE button. As far as my knowledge, this could be done by implementing enhancement spot,since no menu/user exits/BADI available for this tcode ( LI11N).

Does my assumption right? If its right, how to do the enhancement spot scenario...

Else, kindly suggest me a different way.

Thanks,

Abhi

Hello,

They want to add the service cost in supplied plant profit center (11310009)

In received plant 1102 same cost book in cost center (113102001) as a service charge.

Note: We Are not  use any material code for services

Please Suggest me any suitable process

IF We Are Create Vendor  Code Z1109 And Follow Service PR PO Entry Sheet  but in this process we are unable to show profitability.

If Possible its possible  to give quick response.

Hi Experts,

While creating a PO it is taking  the currency from Vendor Master (Purchasing view ).

Is it possible that currency will be based on Company code that I am specifying in Org Data tab of PO Header?

If I put Company Code X  then currency will be GBP and if I put Company Code Y  then it will be USD irrespective of vendor.

Thanks in advance

I am from MDM Team and I get an idoc error when we try to send data to ERP. Looks like an authorization issue but root cause is not defined as of how to fix it.

IDOC TExt: No authorizations to create accounts from Account Group Global 3rd Party

Any inputs is highly appreciated

Dear all,

Please guide me on this,

We use both the batch management and serial no. management for some materials. We create serial no. automatically in good receipt . Batch management is active and system automatically creats a batch no. too. (So there should be a relationship between batch no. and serial no.s)

In good issue posting we want system automatically select serial no. from batch no. (based on FIFO strategy.I mean first select smaller serial numbers of a batch).

In this way the user doesnt need to enter serial no. manually.

Is there any setting to be maintained so that the serial no.  be selected automatically from batch no. in good issue posting and no need of selecting it manually?

Please give me some input on it.

Dear Gurus,

My requirement is user wants to delete the po from sap, because some wrong design occured for the materials.

i proposed to delete the line items and save dthe po but still in MD04  the requirement is showing but it should nt happen

i have two optionsone is to delete the po from sap(user requirement)

Second one is the quantity should nt appear in MD04, please share your valauble explanatios. i have searched in google a lot please provide solution withyb detailed explanation for the above two options.

Dear SAP,

As per check SAP Note(459350) :

Question:

Why are partners not determined when you create a purchase order using transaction ME59?

Answer:

In the vendor master, several entries are maintained for one partner role. If none of these entries is flagged as "default", none of these partners is copied to the document during purchase order generation in transaction ME59.
However, if you use transaction ME21 or ME21N to create a purchase order, a dialog box for the selection of a partner is displayed.

May i know the dialog box for selection of partner only available in transaction ME21 and ME21N?

Is it possible to have it in ME22N? or maybe it can be trigger if we click any button in ME22N?

Please advise.

Regards,

William

Hi,

I would like to be able to block material reservation (MB21) in a plant, but still be able to perform MIGO in that same plant.

If I use transaction OMS4 to set a blocking status in inventory management it blocks MB21 and MIGO both.

Would the solution be a user exit? Any idea if and how that would work?

Thank you so much for helping.

Introduction

A Purchasing Info Record holds a very important place in the 'Procure to Pay' cycle. It contains information about a specific material and a vendor supplying that material. The various conditions maintained in a PIR enables one to store pricing stipulations agreed with the vendor. Whatever conditions are maintained in the PIR for a specific material - vendor combination, those flow into the PO and subsequently into the Invoices.

However, in some business scenarios, this main vendor might take the help of few other vendors as well to provide the finished product to the customer. Let us take an example of a typical automobile company.

Current Scenario

The factory (or the main vendor) produces the standard vehicle with chassis, engine etc. but for seats, music system etc., it gives the vehicle to other vendor. Now, during the invoicing, each of these two vendors need to get their individual invoices.

Challenge

How can we generate invoices for multiple vendors using one single PIR and one single PO?

Detailed Solution Design and Process Flow

The solution to solve this challenge lies in the Purchasing Info Record. While adding supplementary conditions in the PIR, some extra information can be added for each of them under the ‘Details’ button.

Let us go through this step by step:

Step 1. Create a PIR using tCode – ME11. The main vendor 112654 is entered in the screenshot shown below:

Step 2. Enter the Supplementary Conditions inside the Base Conditions

Under the base condition ZENP, supplementary conditions are inserted eg. ZMRF, ZKNO etc. as can be seen in the following screenshot.

Step 3. Enter the details for each of the Supplementary conditions (Cond. Category: Delivery Costs). Select the Supplementary Condition, say ZMRF in this case. Click F6 to get into ‘Details’ for this supplementary condition.

Step 4: The last ‘Control’ field under the ‘Details’ for each of the supplementary conditions is for ‘Vendor’. This field value uniquely identifies the vendor or creditor in the SAP system. In the shown example, a vendor 119157 , different from the main vendor 112654, is maintained for Supplementary condition ZMRF. Similarly, for condition ZINT, a vendor 113711 is chosen in the PIR.

Step 5: Now the PIR is ready to be used in the PO. These conditions will flow in to the PO as seen below (tCode: ME23N):

Step 6: This PO now consists of Conditions which have of prices from different vendors. There is one main vendor, 112654 in this case. And then, there are other vendors for supplementary conditions, eg. 119157 for ZMRF condition.

During invoicing (tCode MIRO), SAP would give an option and ask for the particular vendor for which we want to generate the invoice.

Enter the Invoice Date and Reference PO.

Select the Item Type as ‘2 Planned Delivery Costs’. Click on the arrow for ‘More Allocation Criteria’.

Step 7: Choose the appropriate vendor. For Condition ZMRF, we will select Vendor 119157 and click on ‘Continue’. Similarly, if we would have wanted to invoice for Condition ZINT, we would have selected Vendor 113711 in MIRO.

The vendor 119157 gets selected and the corresponding ZMRF condition flows into the Invoice Doc.

There are several other conditions shown in the above screenshot for vendor 119157. This is because for all of them, the vendor 119157 has been maintained in the PIR.

So this is how, invoices to multiple vendors can be generated from the same PO and the same PIR - by maintaining a vendor for the individual condition type in the PIR.

Dear Team,

PO has been issued with delivery charges (FRB1) 12 UDS on header level and same has

been divided in THREE items on pro-rata basis.eg(4 USD per item)

now item no. 03 has been supplied and deleted from the PO subsequently.

and Due to deletion of item no. 03; delivery charges for the same has been reduced.from 12 USD to 8 USD  instead of distributing delivery charges to remaining TWO items ie 6 USD per item. However delivery charges are not changed at item level ie 4 USD

Why system is behaving like this.

Kindly help  for the same.

Thanks&Regards,

Jayesh

Hi,

Our process is as follow:

2 plants are defined in the same company (Plant A and B). This means that our concern is on an intra company process.

Our parts are used in 2 different process.

1 - The first process is a standard purchase process with purchase orders and purchase info records with vendors to plant A.

2 - Then parts are transferred using STO with SD delivery from plant A to plant B.

We defined a purchasing value key with under delivery = 25%.

In the STO process, the tolerance works as follow. When creating a delivery, SAP checks whether the quantity delivered is in the tolerance or not and then "close" the rest of the quantity of the STO item. Exactly what we would like to have.

The tolerance is determined through article purchase master data.

For the process 1, as long as I use my already created PIR, the new purchasing value key won't be used. PIR has been created before.

But in case of creation of new PIRs, the purchasing value key which is now set in article master data will be used. That we don't want.

I think there are 2 solutions.

The first is to warn users to remove tolerance data when creating a new PIR. This is not often, I find it to low secured.

The second one would be to not put the purchasing value key in the article master data, but to use it as default value for the STO process between my 2 plants.

I wonder if this is possible to set it in an exit during PO creation or PR transform to PO.

Does anybody already tried to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Olivier

Hi gurus,

I have a program for downloading and uploading PR with the BAPI BAPI_PR_GETDETAIL and BAPI_PR_CREATE.

The program generate a .csv file in order to allow to change some field of existing PR (e.g document type, document number, cost center...) and re-upload it.

I'm facing some issue with the BAPI_PR_CREATE, when I try to upload the modified .csv file, the program returns the following error:

     "Creation indicator  invalid

      No instance of object type PurchaseRequisition has been created. External reference: # 1"

The creation indicator is setted "R".

I have a similar program for the PO, that use the BAPI BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL and BAPI_PO_CREATE1, and it works fine.

If any one give some suggestion, it is very helpful for me.

Thanks in advance,

Mario

Hi Experts,

I have an issue when I try to Goods Reciept an Inbound delivery.

I am an abaper. I am making a custom program in a user exit IDOC_INPUT_DELVRY to update an inbound delivery quantity base on the idoc quantity. Which as successful by using BAPI_INB_DELVIRERY_CHANGE.

Now my issue is, whenever I process the idoc it will update the inbound delivery and it will be automatically goods receipt but the quantity in the PO history is not correct. The quantity in the PO history is always the full amount in the PO or in some cases if i try to manually change the inbound delivery via VL32N.

Example: PO qty = Inbound qty = 100.

               Idoc quantity = 50

When I process the idoc. the inbound quantity will change to 50. But in the PO history, the quantity is still 100.

Any ideas on how I can pass the idoc quantity while it is being process so the PO history will be correct?

Thanks and regards,

Dale

Introduction:  Vendor consignment process in SAP-MM is a special kind of external procurement process. Consignment order is placed to external vendor who delivers the materials at company premises on a given schedule but ownership will remain with vendor. In normal procurement, liabilities to company is booked as soon as good is received by company but liabilities to company is only booked in case of consignment process when actual goods are consumed.

In  normal consignment process, company has to keep on placing the order against any increase in demand or any future forecast which is very time consuming process to place the PO every time.

This document will explain about How we can set up a process where vendor can take care of  complete Management of consignment inventory. Vendor will have complete responsibility to ensure availability of stock. Company will place only one time PO for 1 year. Vendor will take care of all further requirement without any further PO even if demands are raised more than PO qty.

Company will place a consignment PO of lump-sum  qty for complete year based on historical consumption data. Vendor will plan for delivery based on requirement on daily basis unlike normal consignment process where complete lot is delivered at company process.

We will have to set up some configuration and master data to dispatch current stock and future demand information to vendor on daily basis so that vendor is updated about current stock and replenishment needed to meet the demand.

This process will have following benefit:

1) Lower Inventory level

2) Less over head

3) Lower Inventory handling cost

4) Vendor will have better information about customer demand which will help vendor in planning

5) Reduced replenishment duration

Below Process has been mapped without any development. This will set up automation between  Vendor and Customer.

Process Involved: We can Understand complete process flow chart from below picture:

We can seefromthe flow, there are following steps are involved in the cycle.

1) Manual Blanket PO creation: Blanket PO is created manually with some validity and item category K. Tolerance in PO is also defined to give flexibility to vendor to adjust the delivery in case any short fall or additional demand is ascertained through PROACT message type. Tolerance limit is defined as 99.9%.

2) Purchase Order output through EDI: PO is transmitted to vendor via message type ORDERS

3) Transferring stock and sales data via EDI: Message category PROACT is used to send current stock and historical/forecast sales data for a particular material to vendor

4) Planning replenishments at vendors end: Vendor can plan replenishment qty based on current stock and future demands.

5)Confirmation from vendor side: vendor will send confirmation against delivery. A IDOC will be created with message type ORDRSP and create a line item under confirmation tab in PO.

6) Despatch Advice: When material is ready to be despatched, vendor will send  advice to customer. Information will come in the form of an incoming IDOC with message type DESADV and will create inbound delivery number against PO placed to vendor. This IBD will be updated under confirmation tab

7)Good Receipt: When material arrives at company premises, GR is done against IBD and stock will be posted with movement type 101 K and stock will be appearing under consignment stock

Configuration Involved to set up Vendor managed Consignment process:

1)Creation of output message  for PO: As PO has to be transmitted to  vendor via EDI so an output type should be created followed by maintenance of condition record so that when PO is created, system should propose an output type for EDI. It is simple to set up output type for PO so I will not touch upon configuration process. Standard output type is NEU so we can create our own message type ZNEU copying from NEU followed by NACE set up for EDI with partner type LS.

2) Setting up partner profile for EDI for message type ORDERS: We need to set up partner profile for electronic transmission.

Menu Path: SPRO-->Material Management-->Purchasing-->Messages-->EDI-->Set up Partner Profile.

We can also access it via transaction code WE20

A new screen will open where we need to maintain  Partner no and partner type.

1) Partner no-Logical .System name

2) Partner Type-LS

Once it is done, we need to maintain information for Outbound Parameter which are given below

1)  Partner Role-LS

2) Message Type-ORDERS

3) Receiving port- As defined

4) Transfer IDOC-Immediately

5) Basic Type-ORDERS05

We also need to maintain message control as listed below:

1) Application-EF

2) Message type-ZNEU (As defined above for PO)

3)Process Code-ME10

3) Setting up partner profile for PROACT message type sending to vendor: Here we also define partner no, partner type as defined above.

We need to maintain following outbound parameter:

1)  Partner Role-LS

2) Message Type-PROACT

3) Receiving port- As defined

4) Transfer IDOC-Immediately

5) Basic Type-PROACT01

Once Partner profile is maintained, we also need to maintain profile for sending stock/sales data to vendor. We can access SPRO via following path

SPRO-->MM-->Purchasing-->Messages-->EDI-->Profile for sending stock/sales data

We need to maintain control profile on screen appeared. Say XYZ profile was maintained.

We also need to maintain controlling parameter

Transfer STOCK level

  Forecast of Qty sold

Once it is done, maintain Stock Type as shown below

Stock Type-INSME

Stock type-LABST

Now Maintain Sales data Access

Qualifier-004

Info Structure-S094

Version-XXX

Plant-WERKS

Qty-MNG02

4) Version Activation for Info Structure S094: Now we need to activate version created above A00.

Access following Configuration Path

SPRO-->Integration with other MySAP.com components-->Data transfer to the SAP Business information Warehouse -->Settings for Application specific data source (PI) -->Logistics-->Managing transferInformationstructures -->Setupof Statistical data -->Application specific set up of statistical data --> Perform Set Up - Inventory Controlling

5) Set up for Message type ORDRSP for confirmation from Vendor:  Here we need to set up for incoming IDOC  in partner profile. Run We20 transaction and set up inbound parameter

Partner no-XXXX

Partner type-LS

Inbound Parameter:

Message Type-ORDRSP

Process Code-ORDR

6) Set up for Message type DESADV for Delivery Advice from Vendor: Here we need to set up partner profile for incoming IDOC for IBD against PO.

Partner no-XXXX

Partner type-LS

Inbound Parameter:

Message Type-DESADV

Process Code-DELS

Now System is ready for consignment process.

Now Create  a blanket PO for full year

When PO is Released, System will send EDI to vendor for PO information.

Now Create PROACT message to send current stock and future demand information to Vendor

Run WVM2 transaction and enter all required details

When you execute the report, System will output all stocks details as shown below

Now Click on Send IDOC button to  trigger PROACT IDOC to vendor. We can see IDOC created via WE02 transaction as shown below:

Now When Vendor sends confirmation against PO, Incoming IDOC with message type ORDRSP is received as shown below

This Information is  updated in PO under confirmation Tab as shown below. System insert AB line

Now When Delivery is ready to get dispatched, vendor sends information via DESADV message type and system create IBD and update in PO as shown

below:

Now Receive the goods against IBD

PO will be updated with IBD qty

Hi Experts,

I created a LSMW direct input with Program RMDATIND to create the views WM1,WM2 and populate the Warehouse No XXX

to some materials already in Plant XXXX (with a StoLoc).

The views are extended but the WH No. doesnt get populated. My upload file contains MATNR, WERKS, LGNUM and PRCTR.

There are no errors in LSMW but in the material master I dont find the uploaded WH No. Manual entry throws the error "Warehouse

no. xxxx not maintained for material xxxx".

Many thanks for your help.

Best regards

Introduction: Two process is used to optimize the picking process. Suppose, one material is being used more frequently either in Sales order or in Production order or being transfer one SLOC to Another SLOC. If frequency of picking of material is more as it is being used in multiple outbound delivery, we can use 2 steps picking to optimize the performance.

Two Steps picking are broken in to 2 steps-1) Collective picking of materials linked to all Reference documents (OBDs or TR's) 2) Allocation of materials to respective OBD/TR's

All OBD or transfer requirements are clubbed in one group and picking happens for all materials mentioned in OBD or TR clubbed in Group. A transfer order is created to pick the materials and materials are being brought to Interim Storage type 200.  Another TO is created to allocate the materials to respective OBD/TR's and materials are moved from Storage Type 200 and process is complete.

Two Step process is very efficient and improves performance of system.

This Documents will discuss about required configuration for Two Step picking.

Process Involved: Two steps picking are broken in to 2 steps- 1) Picking with respect to group which are created to combine all OBDs/TR's

2) Allocation of materials to respective OBDs/TR's

Two Transfer order is created in this process- one for group picking and another TO for allocation. First TO brings the materials to interim storage Type 200 from a bins which was used for picking. Second TO is used to allocate the materials to respective OBD's/TR's.

We need to configure to make this happen. I will only touch upon configuration involved for Two step Picking. Will not discuss about Strategy for removed from Bins.

Configuration Involved: As We discussed above, TO can be created either from OBD or TR's so we need to set up configuration for 2 steps     picking for shipping used for OBD as well as Transfer requirements.

A) Activate Two step picking for Transfer requirement: We need to activate 2 step picking for Transfer Requirement. We can make 2 step picking material dependent or Independent.

Menu Path-

SPRO-->Logistic Execution-->Warehouse Management-->Activities-->Transfers-->Set up 2 step picking process for Transfer Requirement

When click  on Set up 2 step picking for Transfer Requirements, another screen opens where we have 2 activities need to be performed as shown below

Under Transfer requirement control, we have to make following setting

1) Assign 2 step picking under column 2stP for given Warehouse No

2) 2 Step is Material dependent or not. If check  column 2-stMatl, only those Materials  will be part of 2 steps picking where 2 step  provision is made  in Material  master under Warehouse view 1

3) Movement type 850 needs to be assigned as this is movement type will be used during first TO during collective picking to bring the materials to interim Storage Type 200

Once it is done, we need to set up 2 step picking for transfer type- Stock removal under transfer type control.

Same configuration is involved for outbound Delivery. Configuration path can be found under Interface-->Shipping-->2 step picking

Now once it is configured, We now need to set up Storage type search for 2 step picking. Here we need to assign operation 2 and give storage type as 200 as stock will be kept at storage type 200 before final allocation.

Configuration step will be same as we do for normal Put away and Stock removal Storage type search

SPRO-->Logistic Execution-->Warehouse Management-->Strategies

Now Configuration is complete. Now let's have a one  2 step picking example for better understanding.

We will take 2 step picking for transfer requirement document. We will create TR via SLOC to SLOC transfer. If both SLOC are warehouse Managed under same Warehouse no, Posting change notice is created but we need to have TR so I will transfer from WM managed SLOC 1000 to non WM managed SLOC 2000 in below example.

Following steps needs to be executed

1) Assigning 2 step indicator in Material Master:

2) Creation of TR via Transfer Posting in IM via MB1B with movement Type 311:

We have Generated 3 TR via 3 Transfer posting which we can see in LB11 report

3) Creation of  group : Now we need to create group combining all these 3 TR's  which will be reference documents for first TO for collective picking. Group is created via LT41 transaction

Screen is showing 3 TR's have been clubbed. Now Select Row and press Assign Group to create Group. Another Screen will appear where give Description of group as shown below

4) Run LX39report :

System will ask to enter Group no created above and Warehouse No. Execute the report. System will display 2 Row- Picking and allocation if group is 2 step relevant else System will give warning message

5) Creation of TO for collective Pick:Now put cursor at Pick row and click on Create TO to initiate picking process

Press Enter .

Select Stor type Srch Seq to see which Storage type is being proposed for Destination. It should Be 200. Once it is done, Generate TO

6) Confirm TO: Confirm TO to complete the picking step. Run LT12  and enter the TO generated above

7) Run LS26 report: We can see stock status. Stock will be lying under Storage type 200

Now Collective Picking process is done. We can see  Picking row will be green if we put cursor on pick row and press Data

8) Create TO for allocation: Put the Cursor on Allocation and select create TO button to create TO

Select Start multiple Proc. button to initiate TO

So we can see that Allocation to respective TR has occurred via TO#98,99 and 100. Now we can see that LX39 report shows allocation green as it is completed.

Now 2 Step picking process is completed.

This Document was created with Co-Author-Pankaj Agarwal who is very much enrich in SAP-MM/WM coming from very rick background of Procurement and Planning.

What is the t code for List of price change Documents.

Thanks
