Is it possible to send Item level PO Idoc error messages confirmation back to an e-procurement system from sap?

$
0
0

Hello SCM /Interface Experts,

 

Scenario: Procurement of Indirect Materials (Cost center, Assets, Project /WBS, etc.,) through e-Procurement system and SAP is back end system.

 

System land scape:  SAP  <--> SAP PI <-->  E-Procurement system (which is an external e-Procurement system non-SAP)

 

We have interfaces as follows:

 

PO Creation /Change   :  This is Inbound interface to SAP through PO Std. IDOC's

PO Confirmation          :  This is Outbound interface to SAP through std. PO IDOC.(ORDERS02  - for successful PO's)

PO Error handling         :  This is Outbound interface to SAP through std. PO IDOC (ORDERS02 - for unsuccessful PO's /failed IDOCs)

 

Query:

In regarding the PO Error handling, Is it possible to trigger (or sending the PO item level text (error) messages back to external system?  if yes, please explain or kindly post the steps for this implementation.

 

Also, is there workflow involved for the error messages confirmation while sending back to external system...


E.g. In case if PO IDOC failed to reach to SAP from external system, below are the common item level error that appears to be and due to any messages these Idocs can fail to transmit into SAP. That we need to communicate back to external system, so that this can be corrected further to reprocess or retrigger the Idoc in front end (external system).

 

-  Enter tax code (tax code is missing)

-  Tax jurisdiction code is missing

-  Cost center is missing

-  WBS Element is missing

-  GL Account couldn't be effected

-  Profit center is missing,

- Asset,  etc.

 

Because, currently we are sending only header level Idoc text error messages back to external system as part of the confirmation of failed Idocs. (because this external system required confirmations against success and failure Idocs transmission to SAP). So when PO Error handling confirmation sends back to external system.

E.g.  it looks like below:

No instance of object type PurchaseOrder has been created. External reference

 

 

So can anyone have idea on the item level error messages confirmation sending back to external system

 

 

Share your thought please.

 

Thanks

Display of SO in MD04 in subcontracting scenario.

$
0

Hello ,

         We have  unique scenario for which I am trying to get an answer for .

 

 

Steps :

 

 

1. Our subsidiary in Japan is placing a replneishment PO on our system ( NA-North America)

 

 

2. The PO from Japan creates a SO in NA system through EDI.

 

 

3. Since the materials are supplied using a subcontracting process, the sales order in NA is created with a subcontracting item category which generates a PR.

 

 

4. PR is converted to PO

 

 

5. Customer serice add one more line item to  the PO and sends it to vendor. OUt of the 2 line items, one is the original shipment which Japan requsted for and the second is the sample line item of the same material which goes through QC/QA in NA before vendor ships the same lot of the original request to Japan directly.

 

 

6. In the above scenario 2 GR's are done against the PO , out of which one is the virtual GR and second is the actual GR for the sample which comes to NA warehouse .

 

 

 

 

If I check the MD04 for that material/plant in NA plant , we see the PO with  quantity ( say for example 1) , but there is no entry for sales order which causes the imbalance as per planning . For example , if MD04 shows a quantity of 1 against PO , then planning expects -1 against the sales order , os it negates .

 

 

My question is, how do we get the sales order enrty also in MD04 in the above scenario. Is there any setting in material master/configuration  which does it.

 

 

Note : The demand is created in NA plant . Japan is altogether in another SAP instance.

 

 

Thanks

Invoice not Posting in SAP

$

Hi Gurus,

 

We are having issues while posting the invoice in miro that account is blocked message :F5351

The issue is we had available stock for material "ABC"=1, We received quantity via "101" =4 , so altogether we have

quantity of "5" in stock. Now we process the goods issue "261' quantity of "4". after this we parked the invoice for quantity of "4"
.Now when we are trying to post the system is posting to GL "Cost difference " account T Key "PRD" in OBYC. and the message is account blocked F5351.

Is there a config change that needs to be done to avoid this error? do we need to unlock the account the cost difference ? PRD?

 

Thanks in advance

how to do vendor returns in SUB CONTRACT PROCESS ?

$

0

Hi Gurus,

 

can anybody please suggest me what is the better way for doing vendor return in SUB CONTRACT process.  as the 122 is causing some inconsistency

in updating Component quantities (component quantities are not getting updated as for the header quantity). so any body please suggest me what will be the better way for doing the subcontract vendor returns.

 

 

in sub contract 543 will be posted for the components at the time of GR. so when we do the 122  . movement  544  for components should happen as for the header quantity.

 

 

EX : i have done GR of 500 through sub contract process. now i have decided to do vendor return 150 . while doing the transaction of 122 system is posting the 544 for components as for the header quantity of 500 not for the 150.

 

user need to explode the BOM every time before he save the transaction. if he for get to Explode the BOM system is posting as for the referenced GR document of 500.

 

 

so any body please suggest me the way to control the component quantity posting during 122.

 

 

regards,

Mahesh.

MIRO - negative postings to material account in Debit Memo against PO

$
0

Hello Gurus,

i ve got question,

We made a Debit memo to another vendor against PO and we get some lines with negative postings to material account + positive to GR/IR clearing account, it is very strange!

 

All history is here

Ashampoo_Snap_2015.06.04_01h29m48s_002_.png

This strange thing occured in one of the Debit memo for customs - another Creditor/Venfor (Not main!)

We got these lines

4861310-991310-99450000091330GR/IR144.481,18144.481,18
5991330-011330-01450000091330Materials72.019,18-

72.019,18-

And that goes not for all positions, as Ypu may see in history we do firstly GR/CANCEL GR/GR

Next day IR / Debit Memo / And another Debit memo with this postings

All i could understand system takes amount from material account for reversal of GR

 

Then put two times amount to clearing account

why? Creditor is other! And not connected with main IR!

We work in HANA could it be some bug? Why some poisitions does not show same effect?

Internal table rseg is also strange with negative values

for some poses

Upload Release Strategy using LSMW with SM30 - V_T16FS Issue

$

Hi,

 

I need to upload about 1500 release strategies. I choose to use LSMW with recording of SM30 for view V_T16FS. The screen is the same as if we use SPRO (I don't use SPRO because the SPRO tree can't be recorded). The issue now is that the button "Release Statuses" is not responding. We can click it but it displays nothing. But in SPRO, it displays the desired screen and we can do change the value.

 

Anyone know what the issue is? Or are there any other ways to do the requirement? Please kindly give detailed solution if we need to use another way.

MAHN Output type

$

Hi Experts,

 

I am facing one problem regarding MAHN output type i.e. reminder sent to vendor for delay in delivery of a purchase order.My client requirement is as below:-

 

1).For my client maximum PO send to Vendor through EDI. So 850 output type is there.Now to trigger output type MAHN there is a prerequisites that the PO is to be printed(Output type NEU). Can we achieve the MAHN Output type by using 850 output type instead of using output type NEU.


 

2).Client requirement is to trigger MAHN output type in PO through background job.Whenever we are executing ME91F through background job its giving the result of Purchase Orders available for reminders.Then we are generating the message manually from ME91F and then output type MAHN is triggered in PO.Later on we are processing it through ME9F.

Is there any way where we can directly trigger MAHN output type in PO through background job(skipping the step manually generated message at ME91F)?

 

I have attached screen shot of background job for output type MAHN which basically gives the suitable POs for reminder but not generating the message in PO.Please take a look and give advice accordingly.

EDI message for warehouse for stock status

$
0

Hi

 

I have a bit of a problem which I would love to have some inspiration for

 

We are shortly to implement a new external warehouse, which is supposed to send out our products with a FI/FO method for our customers. Our deliveries from this warehouse is not pre-defined batchwise, so it's up to the warehouse to pick the relevant batches.

 

All communication is meant to be handled EDI-wise, so I have made tons of setup, which enable us to use functionality to perform DESADVs, MIGO, picking/GI etc.

 

One thing is remaining and this is to inform our warehouse about the status of the products, so they only send out batches, which is on unrestricted stock avoiding those, which are on restricted, blocked, QM, etc.

Originally I had thought I could send them every 15 minutes a new stock list with updated stock status per material/batch, but the warehouse have then told me, that this is not applicable for them.

 

Instead there must be some sort of EDI-message, which I can then run every 15 minutes, which inform the warehouse about changes since the transmission of the last of these EDI-messages were transmitted.

 

Can someone please enlighten me what I have to do here - I have searched high and low for a solution, but not found the obvious yet.

Issues in maintaining of Commodity Code/Import Code Number for Foreign Trade in the material master

$

Hello,

I have about 1000 imported items(inputs/capital goods) material codes for which I am going to set up the import duty payment conditions should be picked up automatically at the time of creation of Purchase order thru ME21N transaction code.


Now, I m going to set up Commodity Code/Import Code Number for Foreign Trade in the material master under the foreign trade export tab for these 1000 material codes.


My question is that can I generate a Single code thru T604 table and set this single code in all 1000 material codes under the Commodity Code/Import Code Number for Foreign Trade instead of creation & maintenance of separate codes for all these 1000 material codes??

Is there any possibility of other negative implication any where else in the system due to??


Thanks for advising me.

Jayesh

Custom Field addition in the Field Catalog for PO Output Determination

$
0
0

Dear Experts,

 

I have gone through several threads for a new custom field addition in the field catalog for Output determination and have the following question:

 

- To add a new custom field to the field catalog, it has to be added in the structures KOMB and KOMKBEA.

 

- Then add the custom field in the view V_T681F.

 

- Do we need to modify the perform: USEREXIT_KOMKBEA_FILL in the FM: KOMKBEA_FILL to use the new field in the output determination apart from the above mentioned steps ?

 

If yes, could you please explain the significance of this step.

 

Thanks,

Raghu.

Batch determination based on country

$

0

I'd like to do batch determination based on destination country in the delivery.

 

I thought this process would be similar to the process used for the expiratation date calculations that utilized LOBM_LFDAT.

 

I created my own ZLOBM_LAND1 and defined it just like LOBM_LFDAT.  I.e. LOBM_LFDAT references the structure BDCOM-LFDAT for the expected delivery date of the delivery.  I thought I could reference BDCOM-LAND1 (Defined in the ABAP dictionary), as the source for my characteristic ZLOBM_LAND1.  Then I would use that in my selection criteria in the SD batch determination selection class.

 

I get no errors in setting it up, but when I run batch determination, I don't see a value for ZLOBM_LAND1 as I do for LOBM_LFDAT.

 

Any suggestions or ideas?

 

My goal is to use that country value from the delivery and only select batches where that country is listed in LOBM_COUNTRY_OK.

 

Has anyone done this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Customized cycle counting

$
0
0

Hi Gurus,

 

The standard SAP ABC cycle counting has these inherent problems,

 

  • The counting is done by ABC code on material balances greater than zero on SAP.  Only the targeted ABC materials are counted
  • Materials lost in store remain lost in store as SAP does not know where they are so no cycle count ticket is ever produced
  • The warehouse is out of action during the cycle count until the results are posted.
  • An annual count will still be necessary to find all lost in store materials

 

we were looking for a mini annual cycle count where you count a zone, area or bin to bin range in the warehouse.  And in this defined zone, area or bin to bin range all materials are counted on the shelf and any found materials are added back to the system.  Whilst this mini wall to wall count is being conducted all normal processes and transactions in the warehouse should be possible so the mini annual count does not impact on customer service.  There needs to be a way in which each zone, area or bin to bin range is noted as counted so that it can be shown in a year period the whole store has been counted at least once. 

 

There may be a way to adapt the annual stock take procedure to do this.  Please advise how this can be done.

SU Managed Bulk storage : Storage bin search / Immediate TO creation

$

Hi Gurus,

 

I have a question regarding the SU managed Bulk Storage, putaway for a SU managed warehouse.

 

XXX - Storage Type

B : Bulk Putaway Strategy

X : Mixed Storage

X : Addition to Stock

 

YYY : Storage Unit Type

Bin 1 : B1 Bin Type

 

Immediate TO creation enabled.

 

Putaway 1:

     Material A with SU Type YYY : Putaway in XXX : Immediate TO created

 

Putaway 2

     Material B with SU Type YYY : Putaway in XXX : Didn't create immediate TO, instead TR created.

 

If I try to create TO in background/foreground using LB11, the system throws an error saying "Storage bin not found" when there is one material for every bin in the Storage type.

 

I want to putaway Material B in the same bin as Material A and TO automatically created. If I use the Putaway strategy P, then this works but I cannot use P for some other business reason in our warehouse and have to use Bulk Storage.

 

Please advise.
