Error in Net Price Calculation

$

0

Hi Experts,

 

I am trying to set Delivery complete indicator on an old STO but when I open it in the edit mode and change and save it, I get the error "Error in net price calculation". When I try to manually enter the price on the STO, the price disappears as soon as I press enter. However, the problem is resolved when I go to the Invoice tab and select "Invoice Receipt" checkbox. Why is that? What has invoice receipt got to do with price calculation on the STO? Thanks.


How to sort the materials in MIGO screen without sort ascending options

$

Hi Sap Guru's

 

Generally after posting the PO document number in MIGO we will get the complete line items regarding the PO in our item view . If the PO has number of line items then they are to be in sequential order whether if they are defined in numeric or if they are maintained with alphabets they have to be in ascending according to their first letter. How it is possible to maintain those materials in sequential order ... they have to be sorted by their material not by the line items and without using the Sort ascending and sort descending keys or options

 

Is their any other possibility to maintain materials sequentially without using the sort ascending and descending ?

 

Please Help me guys ..

Thanks in advance

DW Tolerance Key is not working as expected

Hi,

 

I configured the DW - Tolerance Key as shown below

 

DW Configuration.jpg

 

Created PO as shown below

 

Purchase order.jpg

 

Invoice verification

 

as per the formula - Net order price by (quantity invoiced + total quantity invoiced so far)

 

Net order price = 100 USD

quantity invoiced = 1

total quantity invoiced so far = 0

 

Formula = 100 * (1 + 0 )

 

Total = 100 USD

 

As per the above shown tolerance limit set for 100 USD. I would expect to see no warning message, but system is throwing the below warning message.

 

Invoice Verification.jpg

 

I did not do the GR. But as per the tolerance limit. It should have allowed to post the invoice without blocking. Am I right?

 

Can you please let me know what I am missing here.

 

Thanks & Regards

Purchase Order rounding up of price unit to whole number

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

We have a subcontracting scenario which involve goods with multiple units of measure

The goods have a base unit of measure of boxes with a BOM defined. When they are sent to subcontractor they are loaded on a pallet and sent for the subcon process. There is a standard conversion between boxes and pallets too.

The vendor is always paid for the pallets that is sent. Many a times the vendor is sent a partially filled pallet. In such cases the vendor should be paid for the full pallet. In short, the vendor has to be paid for pallets sent irrespective of the boxes on the pallets.

I tried maintaining a PO with order unit as Pallet and rounded up the PO qty, but it gives an incorrect picture to the planners in MD04.

I have tried to maintain scales but that would mean I maintain scale for every box ordered

 

eg: if 100 boxes is £100, then the scales would be maintained as

1 box = £100

2 box = £50

3 box = £33.33 and so on

But if I start with this solution, there is no end

 

Is there a way by which I can order in boxes but the price unit will round up to the next whole number pallet and calculate PO price accordingly

I observed condition type MM00 in the pricing schema. The description of the condition type is Minimum qty (Amount). There are no notes, but can this condition type be used to maintain condition that pallets must be in whole numbers only.

 

 

Thanks

Dear all,

Good day,

I have error Message no. ME_RELCHK057 while checking PO release strategies consistency,

this blank row exists only in the table T16FC and i cannot delete it

 

how can i delete this blank row?

Tolerance key PP - Lower limit issue

$
0
0

Dear all,

 

Tolerance key PP is configured with lower limit of 200EUR for absolute and percentage 5%.

And Tolerance key PP with upper limit of 200EUR for absolute and percentage 5%.

When we try to post the invoice with a much lower price, we receive a warning message that the price is too low (which is correct).

 

The problem is that when we try to post this invoice, it is getting posted without being blocked.

Since the lower limit is defined, shouldn't the invoice be blocked when it is below lower limit defined.

 

 

When we try to post invoice with much higher price, than also we receive warning message that price is too high(which is correct).

The problem is that when we try to post this invoice, it is getting blocked as expected.

 

Is there any other setting that we need to make to ensure that the invoice is getting blocked when it is posted below the lower limit defined?

 

 

Checked in transaction OMRM, either Message class M8 and Message no.082 for price too high or Message class M8 and Message no.084 for price too low is not set there.

Didn't check if we set Message class M8 and Message no.084 for price too low to error,than if it works or not.

But it is neither set for high price nor low price than unable to understand why it is blocking for one and posting for other.

 

 

Please advice. Thanks.

ME59: Problem updating partners in EXIT_SAPMM06E_012

$

Hi experts,

 

I'm trying to update the partners when creating the PO via ME59.

 

Because there are multiple partners in the contract, ME59 is not able to determine the correct partners, so I generate them in EXIT_SAPMM06E_012.

 

I add partners 'BA' and 'RS' ('LF' is already there), and after the execution of ME59, I see the three partners in EKPA... but in ME23N, I only see the 'BA' and 'LF' partners.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

I update the partners using a symbol assigned to '(SAPLEKPA)XMMPA[])'. I got the same result using the function MM_CALL_UPDATE_PARTNERS.


Resolving shipping differences on stock transfers

$
0
0

We are trying to do some improvements to our stock transfer process.  One of the biggest bottlenecks is resolving shipping differences (or RSD).  This process involves adjusting for short-shipments and over-shipments.  Currently we use a two-step plant-to-plant transfer to adjust the differences.  If too much was shipped, an additional plant-to-plant transfer is posted from the shipping location to the  receiving location; vice-versa if the shipment was short.  We use workflow to facilitate the two-step process and make sure that both steps are executed.  We used to just have inventory control do a single step transfer but that was too onerous for the inventory control group.  Why do we use this method?  Two basic reasons:

 

1. Our accounting system tracks transfers as part of its allocation process so that the producing location (which normally sources the transfers) can have inventory accountability  for the items it ships.  If we were to just adjust the inventory at the receiving location, this would break the chain in the allocation tracking.

 

2. We have location-based security so only a handful of users can process an inventory adjustment at all locations.  Therefore we use the two-step approach so that inventory control does not have to be involved on each adjustment 9and unfortunately there are a lot of them).

 

We are now rethinking all of this and if we can get a more efficient process, we should be able to convince accounting to allow alternate methods.

 

What are your thoughts on this process and how do you operations handle these discrepancies?

 

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

Change STO Order Qty After Partial GI & Before Full GR

$
0
0

Hi experts,

 

We encounter this error whenever we attempt to adjust the order qty to a lower qty:

 

Please enter a quantity that is smaller than the total quantity


Scenario:

Order qty: 2588 pcs

Delivered (GI): 2202 pcs

Received (GR): 462 pcs

Committed Qty: 2202


Importer would like to change the Original order qty from 2588 to 2202 but cannot proceed due to the error above.

There's no purchase requisition prior this STO.

Question is, is it standard behavior to hinder the changing of qty in the STO when GR qty <> GI qty? We cannot perform full GR yet since goods are not yet at the port.


Regards,

Karen

Batch & Expiry date change

$

Hi Experts,

 

Please can you assist with my query.  I have searched the forums and can't seem to find anything similair to my query.

 

Question One

Currently Batch A has several materials, all of which have different expiry dates.

 

We would like to have each batch with materials of the same expiry date.  Is there a way to fix the current scenario?

 

Can we create several new batches and move stock sitting in Batch A into the new batches which would each have a different expiry date as per the relevant material?

 

Question Two:

Re: GRV - suppose the wrong batch and expiry date was captured against a GRV.  Can the batch and expiry be changed? Or would the best solution be to cancel the GRV and re-issue with the correct batch and expiry date?

 

Question Three:

Suggestion on the best method of naming batches?

 

I hope i am asking the questions correctly

 

Thanks

I have been trying to create an account assigned PO and am getting the follwoing error. I have tried to see many of the notes but none are helping me fix this. The details of the error as given below please  advise

 

Message no. ME045

 

Diagnosis

Comparison of the field selection strings from the G/L account 890000

and the account assignment category F reveals that there is an

incompatible combination of field selections for the field selection

group 'Fund'.

 

The G/L account field selection is stored in table T004F; that for the

account assignment is stored in table T162K.

 

Procedure

Please enter a correct G/L account.

 

I am not sure what is the error for and i have also made some of the fields as pointed in the error as optional enrty rather than supressed or required.

 

Can you please let me know how to compare the field of Account assigned field and GL account to ensure that these are in sync with each other.

 

Thanks in advance.

The rationale behind creating a Material Master record

$
0
0

My customer's warehouse has upwards of 20,000 materials. More than 7,000 of these have not been used in the last 5 years.

A new material ID is created even when chances are that this material is not stocked and may never be used again - and this is done solely to populate the MiD field in the PO.

 

My question to you experts is : Is there a rationale / logic behind determining what parts should qualify for material IDs and what should not ?

Just like there is a rationale behind what asset is an equipment / functional location etc. in SAP PM - I'd like to know if there is a similar set of criteria that determine whether a part that passes through a warehouse qualifies for Material ID creation in SAP MM.

 

Thank you very much for your help, and I look forward to the discussion.

Table and Field name for VCH3 Conditions related Characteristic values?

$
0
0

Hello All,

 

We are having a requirement where we need to list out the characteristic values for all the condition records for Strategy type SD02 (Customer/Material/Plant combination) so as to make changes as required by the business. The characteristic used is LOBM_RLZ (Remaining Shelf life for batch) under a Class (CLASS_SEARCH). These settings are being used for determination of minimum remaining shelf life for automatic batch determination for deliveries.

The default values for the above mentioned characteristic is >=365 days for all condition records. However this was changed by the business for some of the condition records and they are not sure exactly how many condition records were changed. Hence we are trying to list out all the condition records which are having characteristic value other than >=365 days.

 

we had tried fetching the values from table level using tables such as KONDH, AUSP, CABN, CAWN etc but were unable to get ">=365 days" value for the condition records. Kindly suggest the tables and fields/transaction code which would allow us to list out all such condition records along with their respective characteristic values.

 

Below is the screenshot for the screen where the characteristic values are maintained. Transaction code is VCH3,

Thanks in advance.

Email going for Vendor old address instead of corrected address

Hi Gurus,

 

I came to see strange scenario where emails were going to old email address instead of corrected email id.

 

1. Vendor Master is showing correct mail address and as well as ADR6 table shows correct email id but PO's not going to this.

2.Even in SOST it is showing the same old incorrect email id.

3.The Vendor Master was updated with correct New Mail id but in PO header level if we see Address it is having the old incorrect address.

4.I tired to creating a vendor in Test system and created a PO for the same later i have updated the vendor master but here it is working fine without issue.

5.Also to mention no Zprograms or tables present to hold data.

6.The email in ADR6 and in vendor master change it shows that email ID is changed to New one.I.e Physically we see the updated email ID but actually the PO emails going to wrong old email address.

 

 

I have tried to search in SCN for this case not able to find related to this case, Kindly can anyone shed light here.

 

Thanks,

Invoice block due to price variance created through unplanned costs

$
0
0

Dear All,

 

We have tolerances defined in our system configurations against respective tolerance keys and they work fine. However, we are facing problems with respect to variances created through unplanned delivery costs.

 

I checked the forum and there are few threads on this topic but none deal with this query.

 

Example Case -->

We have a PO created for 1 PC quantity and price as 200 USD per PC. There are no other condition types (related to DC) in my PO. I have defined a tolerance limit of 5 USD under PP (price variance) key.

GR is posted for this PO.

 

When I go to MIRO -->

1) Scenario 1: I enter price 206 USD at line item level. Hence, header level final amount is 206 USD as well and my invoice is blocked as it crosses defined tolerance limit of 5 USD

2) Scenario 2: I enter 200 USD at line item level and I enter 6 USD as unplanned delivery costs (details tab). Hence, header level final amount is 206 USD. However, my invoice is not blocked in this case.

 

As I understand, after distributing unplanned delivery costs in line items, system does not run a price check again. However, is there any way I can block an invoice if my total amount exceeds the defined tolerance limit in such cases? Can we take into account planned delivery costs affect on total price variance during tolerance checks?

 

Thanks and Regards,

Ani

Edit PO Header Text after the PO is blocked

Hi Experts,

 

The user wants to edit the PO header Text after the PO is blocked. i.e, he selects an approver after entering all the details and submit for approval. After this the PO is saved and when he opens the PO next time in ME22N, all the fields are disabled.

Is there a possibility where we can still edit the header text through any configuration / customization?

 

Thanks,

Ajith
