Automatic creation of RFQ

Hi all
Want to create RFQ directly from requisitions for multiple vendors. At the moment
if a requisition has to be sent to five vendors, manually one has to create 5 (or more) RFQ's to send to vendors.
Further would like to use source list, so that the system automatically convert the requisition to the RFQ's based on the source list (instead of info record).
To summarise, as soon as user raises a requisition for a material,
system looks at the source list for the 'approved' vendors and then
automatically creates the appropriate number of RFQ's (one per vendor).
Is it possible, working on SAP 4.7.
Thanks

Hi,
If you want to send an RFQ to 5 vendors you don't have to create 5 RFQs manually, you simply create the RFQ with reference to the requisition and when you get to the address screen, save the first one, then just change the vendor number and save the second one then repeat for however many vendors you want. So you don't even have to enter the detials once (you get them directly by referencing the req)
As for the second part of your question, ANYTHING is possible in SAP (well almost anything). But for something like this you would have to write your own code.
But I am certain that the business really don't want this functionality.
Why would you automatically send out RFQs for the vendors that are already on the source list (they may have already submitted RFQs and had them accepted, why do it again?)
So if you relly need to do something like this it would be relatively easy to get the program to read the source list and raise the RFQ automatically for each source, but I certainly owuldn't recommend this, there can be no genuine business requirement for this.
If it is only for certain materials then possibly this would be useful, but I think that you are asking for something that is probably only required because the bsuiness scenario has not been validated fully.

    If you refer the same document on the following link you see that RFQ is not automatically
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/75/ee1fa755c811d189900000e8322d00/frameset.htm
    What does their mean automatically is
    using the assign and process you can create RFQ. but not like Auto PO using Me59n
    Creating RFQs
    To create RFQs, you must generate a basic list via Requisition ® Follow-on functions ® Assign + process.
    From the basic list, you can flag a requisition for RFQ processing. Select a requisition and choose Edit ® Flag for RFQ ® With vendor or Without vendor.
    Choose Goto ® Assignment overview to access the assignment overview screen. Position the cursor on the text Flagged for RFQ processing and choose Edit ® Process assignment.
    A dialog box for the creation of RFQs appears.
    Enter the deadline for submission of quotations and check other relevant data, such as the purchasing organization.
    When you press ENTER, you will obtain an overview of the purchase requisitions that have been flagged for RFQ processing.
    Select the items that are to be adopted in the RFQ.
    Adopt the selected items in the RFQ.
    u2013 If you wish to change the selected items before adopting them, choose Edit ® Selections ® Adopt + details. The relevant item detail screens will then appear, allowing you to make the desired changes.
    u2013 To adopt the selected items without changes, choose Edit ® Selections ® Adopt.
    The item overview for the RFQ to be created is displayed with the adopted items.
    If you have flagged the requisition for RFQ processing without a vendor, or if you wish to issue RFQs to another vendor, assign the RFQ to a vendor and save the document.
    Repeat this process for each vendor to whom the RFQ is to be issued.
    For more information on the creation of RFQs, refer to the section Creating RFQs.

  • Automatic PO Creation Thru RFQ

    Dear Experts,
    Is there any way to create automatic po thru RFQ. If yes, what should be prerequisite and T-Code, procedure.
    Regards
    GR

    Hi,
    RFQ is the the Process to select one Vendor from the set of vendors who can supply same material.
    Auto PO creation is a process to convert the PR in to PO.
    Both are 2 diff process..
    manually you can create Po wrt to RFQ..
    But the auto Po concept has 2 steps:
    1. selection of soure/vendor.
    2. converting to PO.
    during the the first process you have select the vendor based on the RFQ result and assign the vendor to that PR
    During the second step system will automatically create the PO.
    If it is fixed vendor , step 1 is not required.
    Hope this will help you..
    Thanks,

  • Automatic creation of purchase info record

    Hi friends
    I could not find check box in RFQ (ME41!N)or in Quotation (ME47N) for updating/automatic creation of purchase info record.
    Thanks
    Sunny

    Hi,
    you can maintain the info update for the required quotation through ME47.choose the required line item and click on the "item detail" icon and put the necessary value for info update:
    1-     No update
    2-A     Update with or without plant
    3-B     Update with plant (if no plant ban)
    4-C     Update without plant (if no plant requirement)
    Indicator: Update Info Record
    Determines whether:
    The purchasing info record for this vendor and material is to refer to this PO item, and
    The item is to be valid for the entire purchasing organization or just for the plant.
    Use
    The indicator determines which prices and conditions are suggested in future PO items.
    Prices and conditions can apply to an entire purchasing organization or to a single plant within a purchasing organization.
    For example, if you create a purchase order for a plant for which an info record has been defined at plant level, the purchase order is based on the conditions in the plant info record and not on the conditions that apply to the purchasing organization.
    Procedure
    Enter the relevant plant key:
    A
    Updating of the document number is effected at plant level as long as there is a purchasing info record at plant level. Otherwise the document number is updated at purchasing organization level.
    B
    Updating is effected at plant level if plant conditions are allowed for the plant.
    C
    Updating is effected without plant data if plant conditions are not necessary for the plant.
    Dependencies
    The level at which updating of the document number may be effected is defined for each plant.
    Hope this will clarify your query.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Automatic Creation of PO by workflow once PR is released.

    Hi All,
    Can anybody explain the details steps for creation of workflow template if PR is released then automatic creation of PO needs to be created with reference to PR.?
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    You can take a look at standard Workflow WS20000075(PO). Regarding your requirement most probably you need to do some configuration. In SRM this is possible once a Shopping Cart is completed it can be converted to a PO.

    Hi koen,
    I tried with the FM that you suggested...
    But somehow with the process type 'stock removal' gives an error...
    Is that that this FM will help to create a pick task for a particular outbound delivery--Tcode:/SCWM/TODLV_TO.
    how will this FM take the outbound delivery as an input?or it will be on the corresponding sales order number and item number as input?
    Being new EWM i require help on this..about how to go about creating the pick task for an outbound delivery which wil be equal to the warehouse request.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Restricted automatic creation of PO in sales order

    Hi Experts
    When we create a sales order (VA01), we had customized the automatic creation of a Production order (CO01); but our client is asking us to limit this automatic creation to a certain characteristics of the material.
    For example, we have to choose the colours (number and values), and for one colour, the production order donu2019t need to be created automatically.
    Please can anyone help me to find any solution for this matter?
    Thank you in advance
    Hachim EL ALAMI

    Dear Hachim,
    if there is only one material for which you don't want production order to be created you can restrict that particular material by using material exclusion from Logistics screen - Sales and Distribution - Master Data - Products - Listing/Exclusion
    and select condition type B001 for Exclusion  and now if you try to enter this material in the sales order system will give you an error
    OR
    you can use listing condition type A001 in order to include only those materials for which you want production order to be created for them
    Hope this will solve you purpose

  • Automatic creation of PO's from Requisitions

    Hi
    I'm trying to get a grasp of what's needed to automatically create approved PO's upon approval of a requisition.
    There seems to be two ways to do it, a release program under a Contract Agreement, or using workflow with a Global BPA.
    Under either method, would you need to create a Contract Agreement or Global BPA for each and every supplier? Is there any easier way to achieve this?
    Thanks

    To automatically created Approved PO's you will need the following
    1. To create Standard PO's a Requisition will have to use a Quotation. This quotation can be attached to an ASL to default while creating a req
    The Workflow "PO Create Documents" should have automatic creation allowed set to yes
    2. To create Releases a Blanket PO must be attached to an ASL . The Workflow "PO Create Documents" should have automatic creation allowed set to yes
    Please let me know if you have any questions
    Thanks
