Could you restrict purchase orders based upon Vendor / Material Group?

Hey everyone - I've got a general "could this be done" kind of question.
We would like to add on to the vendor purchasing view to include "valid" material groups. This would then have what material groups could be purchased for which company code for that vendor. Then in the purchase order creation / modification we would like to be able to validate this purchase order against this vendor / company code / material group combination.
Obviously with enough custom code this could be done. My question is whether it could be done without out introducing too much custom code - how would you construct such a solution to this problem?
We are a SAP 4.7 shop.
Thanks! Ken Little

By include "valid" material groups i think it means you are introducing a new field or some value in already existing field in vendor master.
1) Now to restrict PO based upon material group a small custom code is needed.
    Use BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST....here write a code with help of your ABAP person that system will first select the
    LIFNR (vendor code) entered in the PO...then it will check the same LIFNR in LFM1 table...here it will check the material
    group in the customized field & if found that it is within the list of previous listed material group then it will allow to process
    further or otherwise give a customized error message.
or
2) Use the field Group in OMSF...here maintain a common group against the material groups you want to do the purchase cycle.Now ask your BASIS person to use this group in carry out a specific activity, the user must have authorization for the combination of the activity and the authorization group.

Selection of BOM for a purchase order based on Vendor

Hello Gurus,
We have one material which when ordered from two different vendors should have different components. To make this simple and easy for person creating Purchase Order how should it be implemented?
How should we create BOM that it automatically picks up the right components when a Vendor is chosen in the Purchase Order? We don't want to create two different materials and different BOMs under it. As it is for same product. Please give guidance on this.
Thanks
Regards
Sreepati Hari

Hi Hari,
Read the below SAP documentation for the mode of selection of BOM:
- Selection by order quantity, the system chooses the alternative BOM into whose lot size range the order quantity falls. The lot size range and area of validity of the BOM apply.
- Selection by explosion date, the system chooses the alternative BOM into whose area of validity the date falls according to the setting BOM via dates.
- Selection by production version, the system chooses the alternative BOM defined in the valid production version. The lot size range and area of validity of the production version apply.
- Selection only by production version, the system chooses the alternative BOM defined in the valid production version. The lot size range and area of validity of the production version apply.
If no production version is found, no production orders or process orders can be created.
So based on the above you can clearly understand that it is not possible to have BOM's tied to the Vendor. What you can do as a work around is, i.e. before creating the sub-contracting PO :
1. Change the lot size to ensure the BOM you want gets picked
2. Change the validity dates
3. Change the status of the BOM in header, i.e. make the BOM which you do not want as Inactive
4. As mentioned by you, have different materials & BOM for them.
Hope the above helps.

Vivek

Restricting Purchase order for a particular material type

Hi All,
How do I restrict a purchase order document type to be created for a particular material type.
For eample PO document type NB should allow to create for materials with the material type ROH only and restrict the other material types by issuing an error.
Many thanks in advance.
Regard,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
This is not directly achievable in std. You will have to implement the check in a user exit, e.g. the BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST method PROCESS_ITEM.
But why this strange reqmt? Maybe there's another solution whuch would keep you in std?

Payment Term in PO based on Vendor / Material / Plant Combination

Hi,
The payment terms in Purchase Order are defaulted from the payment terms maintained in Vendor Master. Hence, if we order any material on vendor, then also, the same payment term gets copied to Purchase Order.
We have set different Payment Terms with Vendor based on the material which we purchase from him. For example - For some materials, we have set payment terms as 30 Days Credit & for other materials, we have set payment terms as 60 Days Credit.
Presently the concerned buyers are changing the conditions manually while creating the purchase order. We would like to have this defaulted in the purchase order based on Vendor / Material / Plant combination.
Can we use 'Condition Group' in Purchasing Info Record for this purpose?
If yes, how can we default the payment term from Purchasing Info Record to Purchase Order?
Regards,
Prashant Kolhatkar

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
In this case -
1) I create the info record manually for vendor / material / plant combination.
2) Create PO for this combination.
3) After PO is created, then the payment term can be maintained in Info Record.
Is this correct?
If so, then where can we maintain this Payment Term in Purchasing Info Record?
If maintained, then for further POs, should this get copied from the Info Record instead of Vendor Master?

Prashant

To enable filtering the Purchase Orders based on Purchasing Group in Issue

Hi All,
We are facing one issue
Currently we are working with Extended Classic Scenario with SRM 5.0 and support pack 11
If the buyer uses Issue PO transaction in SRM, there are POs from all the buyers.
There is no filter to allow the buyer to display only POs relevant for his/her Purchasing group.
To enable filtering the Purchase Orders based on Purchasing Group in Issue Purchase Order transction, we found one
OSS note : 1162884 - BBP_PPF: Purchasing group as search criteria for PO
But we found that this oss note is not applicable for our system version
Could you please help me to resolve this issue by any suggestion or by any other oss note?
Thanks
Snehal

Hi Snehal,
There is a easy way to do that.
Go to buyer role in PFCG transaction and look for profile and go inside profile ...look for your transaction...
for Process PO transaction - BBP_PD_PO and you have field BBP_PURGRP...using which you can restrict it on purchasing group..
You may have to copy same role and create new roles based on purchasing group..
I feel that basis or Security and Authorization team can help you in this matter.

Purchase order based on Sales order

Hi,
I try to create Purchase order based on Sales order.
The error message :
"Base document card and target document card do not match"
My code:
oPurOrder.Lines.BaseEntry=oSalesOrder.DocEntry
oPurOrder.Lines.BaseLine=oSalesOrder.Lines.Linenum
oPurOrder.Lines.BaseType=17
Could you help me please ?
Tks.
Laetitia

Hi,
Looking at your code I will check how you fill the fields in the oPurOrder object because the code you copied is only for the document lines and the error refers to the document itself (maybe you forgot to assign the cardcode property).
If you are basing the document, a good and reliable method is to export the base to a xml file and load the target using this file. This way you garantee that all the info of the document is copied. After that you could use your code to update the info you want to change the same way you pasted it in your post.
Hope it helps,

Create maintenance order based upon notification in NWBC / Portal

Dear experts,
How to create a maintenance order based upon a notification, using the POWL for notifications ?
I am using NWBC and would like to create a maintenance order, based upon a notification put in process.
In R/3, this works fine using transaction IW22 / IW28 and all info from the noticiation is copied in the new order.
How can I get the same functionality using the role SAP_BPR_MAINTENANCE_TECH_12 ?
Kind regards,
Dirk

Dirk,
You should be able to select the Notification number from the POWL overview list and choose the "Create Order" push button on the Tollbar (along with display notification, change notification etc).
What i have noticed is that once you are inside the notification from the Portal application, the create Order push button or functionality doesn't seem to exists. This is probably incomplete functionality taking into consideration the standard IW22 transaction /Or a Bug and maybe you could raise a OSS Note for the same.

Difference between Goods receipt based IV / Purchase order based IV ?

Hallow all !!!
Can anybody please explain the difference between GR based invoice verification and Purchase Order based invoice verification in brief ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi,
PO-based invoice verification
In PO-based invoice verification, items are settled with reference to the purchase order. Settlement can be carried out with respect to all items, irrespective of whether or not deliveries have yet been received.
GR-based invoice verification
In GR-based invoice verification you can effect settlement with regard to each GRs relating to a purchase order separately. In the PO history, each invoice item can be assigned to precisely one GRs.

Purchase order based on Purchase requisition

Hello,
Can someone tell me how can create a Purchase Order based on Purchase Requisition in transaction ME21N. In ME21 it is all right but in ME21N where is the option?
Best Regards
João Fernandes

Hello Joao,
When you open purchase order creation transaction (ME21N), you will find button "Document overview" click on that, it will open one column on the left side of the screen, click on colurful tree icon and it will display dropdown list from here select the Purchase requisition. This will take you to report for purchase requisiton so give your criteria and execute. You will get all open purchase requisition so just double click (or drag it to cart) on any purchase requisition it will copy in purchase order screen.
or simply, input the purchase requisition number at item level.
Hope this helps.

Splitting Purchase Order based on Loading Group.

Hi,
My client is a fashion retailer. They have two Loading Groups, General Merchendise that comes in cartons and Hung garments that com hung on hangers.
PO`s are created for every Vendor by Follow-on processing of allocation or by replenishment run.
It is desired to split our Purchase Orders based on loading group. So that there is a separate PO for General Merchendise and Hung Garments. These can then be handled separately during GR and furthur processing.
Would like to know how to configure this.
Thanks
Barry

You need to Define Two PO document types one for General Merchendise and other for Hung garments
and use BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST and incorporate the Logic that
for PO Type General Merchendise the Loading Group of Hung garments Not allowed and Similarly
for PO type Hung garments the Loading group of General Merchendise not allowed ..
