Payment terms marked Do not use

$
0
0


Hi,

 

AP has notified certain Payment terms need to be blocked from allowing its usage.

 

We do not want to delete such payment terms.

 

We have added Do not use in the text of such payment terms.

 

While entering PO, we allow users to change the payment terms. Is there a way we can prevent users from using the payment terms labelled as "Do not use"??

 

Please guide.

 

Thanks,

Shilpa


Long text in Error Log in ML81N

$
0
0

Hi All,

 

We have Funds Management active.

 

We use transaction ML81N.

 

Sometimes, budget becomes exceeded and during saving of service entry(ML81N), we can go to the error log.

 

In error log, message only states that budget has been exceeded but there are no details on the error such as  funds center, commitment item, funded program.  So it is difficult to check/resolve budget errors encountered in ML81N.

 

Does anyone know a workaround/SAP Note for this?

 

There is a blog regarding this but no SAP Note is provided.

Dear Experts,

 

I am getting below error while doing Good receipt against subcontracting material PO. Where as in both material i have maintained profit center 1301 & 1300 company code is maintained for this profit center.

 

I don't understand that from where this 1601 profit center is coming in picture.

 

No postings can be made to profit center 1601 in company code 1300

Message no. KM183

Diagnosis

Profit center 1601 cannot receive postings in company code 1300.

System Response

The posting was canceled.

Procedure

If you want to post to profit center 1601 in company code 1300, this company code must be activated for profit center 1601 in master data maintenance, on the tab page Company code.

You should also carry out the transaction Change Profit Center.

ATP failing on STO when ind/coll req is 2

$
0
0

Hello All,

We need to maintain ind/coll req as 2 on some materials for which we need to create STO. We are moving project stock (Q) to another location using STO. The ATP always fails when the individual / collective requuirement is 2 in MRP 4 view. Can we tweak ATP settings (ch group , ch rule, scope of check ) so that ATP will be fine.

                    The reason why we maintain ind/coll req as 2 is that sometimes these materials are components in a subcontract PO. The stock for these materials for the subcontrating process is always maintained at the vendor. If ind/coll is NOT maintained as 2 then this shows up as project stock (Q) in the component list in subcon PO and then goods issue fails as the stock is not in project stock but at the vendor.

               Is there any way to get around this issue. Thanks

MIRO error - Incorrect doc.no.: $ 2. Select document number between 6100000000 and 61999

$

Hello MM gurus,

We have a peculiar problem, this typically happens only in the beginning of the year, since the accounting dept wants anything GR-ed in previous year(December) should have MIRO invoices posted to December too, eventhough we are already in January of new year, apparently to comply with US-GAAP, and not get into trouble with auditors. The error mentioned in the title does not appear for all postings to previous period, only in certain cases. What I feel is it seems to typically appear when there is not enough stock coverage(already mostly used up) with respect to the quantity on the invoice,and also the invoiced amount is less than the PO amount(discount from vendor). Any idea why this happens? Is it anything to do with the revaluation document type not set up for MIRO in config in OMR4? This error does go away if you post to the current month, only happens if you post to the previous period, and during the rest of the year the accounting dept does not insist on posting invoices to the previous period(anything that was GR-ed in previous period), hence they never have to deal with it.

In below example the actual PO amount was 2551.5, but we are entering the MIRO invoice only for 2103.75, see simulation screenshot below.

Below the error that shows up in messages..

Do you think we are missing any configuration? Any help is greatly appeciated.

 

Thanks and regards,

RFQ/PO automatically pulls in PRs

$
0
0

Hello, we are currently having a couple of issues that seem to be related to a setting on the users account for PR's.

 

Scenario #1: User goes to ME57 to process PR's that are on a Contract/Scheduling agreement.  When clicking Process Assignment, ALL of the PR's that are assigned to that supplier are being populated as selected and are automatically pulled into the shopping cart.  This causes problems if maybe only 5 of 10 PRs are desired.  Most other users do not have them auto-filling into the PO/Shopping cart, they usually drag and drop the PRs from the Document Overview On section.

 

Scenario #2: Same User goes to ME41 to create an RFQ.  Inputs the PR number under the Create With Reference to PR option.  When the PR number is entered, the Adopt Details section already has the PR line item highlighted.  Normal usuers have to select this line and then click Adopt Details.

 

Question for Scenario #1: is there a way to keep the PRs from auto-filling into the PO field from ME57 into ME21N when processing PRs from ME57?

 

Question for Scenario #2: is there a way to keep PRs from auto-selecting on ME41 when creating an RFQ?

 

Since both of these issues are related to the population of PR data into a PO/RFQ we thought maybe it was related to a setting on this users SAP account.

 

Thanks in advance!

Modify report MC.9 and create new info structure

Hi experts,

 

We need to change report MC.9 to display key-figures by movement type. We don't want that system take into account stock transfers between plants for the key figure "total usage"

 

We tried to create a copy of info structures S031 (S531 standard), S032 (S532 type C) and S039 (S539 type D) as described in note 483735, but when we assign S531 and S532 to S539 the system generates an error message saying that characteristics are not identical.

 

Please, could you help me?

 

Thanks in advance,

Translation date in MIRO

$
0
0

Dear experts

 

This is a problem I have read a lot about, but none of the answers work properly and I wanted to create a new thread in order to try to compile a final answer for this problem (at least in version 6.0)

 

As you know Standar SAP uses posting date as translation date in MIRO for foreign currency.

 

This is not always true (imagine Crude Imports with 3 dates: Invoice date, posting date and Bill of Lading date. The last one happens to be the fiscal date for exchange rate in my county and the other two are also mandatory).

 

I am proposing thus to use 3 dates: Document date as invoice date; posting date as posting date and Invoice Receipt Date

(REINDAT - RBKP) as Bill of Lading date. I would like to implement this third date as translation date.

 

Lot of ways to do it, but none works properly as for the end user it is complicated to enter data in a certain way so that BADI's work properly. I have implemented note 574583 and only works with some restrictions.

 

I have also used some more BADI's like MRM_HEADER_CHECK, FI_TRANS_DATE_DERIVE, INVOICE_UPDATE,... and all of them have some restrictions (depending always in data header taps data introduction).

 

I would really appreciate if anyone could help with this, ensuring that the Badi  get's always the data and makes it work with no screen selection dependance.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me how to make validity dates visible on framework requisitions in ME51N?  I don't see those fields in the field selection key for ME51N in configuration.  The fields are in field selection key FOB, but it's not clear to me how to use that key to format the input fields when creating framework requisitions.

Thanks.
