Mass Creation of Material Group Purchase info record

Dear All
Currently we are developing a custom transaction in SAP to mass upload Purchase Info records from a flat file (excel)
We are using the standard Function Module ME_POST_INFORECORD to create the PIR s
We use two different number ranges for Material and Material Group PIR s. This is set up already in SPRO>MM>PIR>Define Number Ranges
Purchasing info record for stock material (Group - IL ) have a number range X
Purchasing info record for material group (non-stock mat.)(Grpup -IN) have number range Y
So when we create a Material PIR manually in SAP it picks X number range and  Y number range for Material Group PIR
But when we create Material Groups PIR via the new custom transaction it creates PIR s with Number range X.
Upon checking understood that the standard FM ME_POST_INFORECORD is always defaulting the Number Range Group as IL internally . Seems like a harcoding done by SAP
Wanted to know
- Is there any another FM we should consider while creating Material Group PIR s. Any other Function module provided by SAP for that ?
- Or what can be other way to resolve this ?
Please let me know your views on this.
Regards
Shyam

Hi,
For mass upload from flat files you can consider LSMW with different options e.g. IDoc:
Message Type         INFREC
Basic Type           INFRECMASS01
or simply via recording of transaction (this should be using exactly the same NR as you have when doing this manually).

  • Mass change of text in purchase info record.

    Hi All,
    For purchasing info record, we have maintained copying rules to adopt text from material master.  In copying rule for info record, we have maintained Fixed indicator for material master text "Purchase Order Text."  The texts copied to info records from material master is having status fixed.
    The problem is, since text is having fixed indicator it is not copying to PO unless we make change or adopt it.  Now we do not know how many info record is having the text as fixed since in most PO's text is not getting copied. 
    Is there any way where we can make a mass change so that fixed indicator is removed. If LSMW, how can we know how many info records are having text as fixed indicator "*".  Or is there is some other way.
    Thanks

    Hi Alex
    You can change/ remove the "No material text' check box either by using a
    mass maintenance - transaction MASS,
    object type: BUS3003
    table: EINE
    give the Info record number/Pur org/info-category/ plant
    or using the batch input recording using LSMW.
    You can find the number entries of info-records having 'No Material text' using transaction SE16/SE16N with table EINE
    and select the 'NO Material text' with 'X: and hit number of entries..you will find it
    Thanks

  • Mass Change Of Vendor Code in Purchasing Info Records

    Hi All,
    I have one query and I already search a lot for it but didn't find any specific solutions.
    I want to change a vendor code in around 1000 Purchasing Info Record, I had already tried for Mass Maintenance Through T. Code - MEMASSIN, But I found Vendor field in New Values as Grey Field.
    Is there any other way to mass change of Vendor in Purchasing Info Records.
    Why vendor field is showing me as a grey Field?
    Thanks In advance
    With Regards,

    Hi Govardhan,
    Pl correct me if i am wrong....EINA-RELIF field is to check and uncheck for regular vendor...It will not change the vendor ID...
    EINA-LIFNR...is the field to change vendor no.., but i can not see this field name is not there in the table...
    Still i think that we can not change the vendor id's once it is created for Info record...
    Pl correct me if am wrong.

  • Pricing schema for purchase info records

    hi guys!
    does anyone knows either SAP standard got function to define pricing schema for PIR? if yes, can you please tell me how to set it up step by step?
    Thanks a lot,
    crystal.

    Hi,
    there is no separate pricing schema for reading info records.
    When creating PO, the system first searches for a purchasing                
    info record with the combination of vendor/material at purchasing           
    organization/plant level. If there is no such info record, the system       
    then search at purchasing organization level. If there is no such           
    info record here either, you must enter it manually.                                                                               
    If the purchasing info record exist, then valid conditions have             
    priority during price determination. If an info record does not             
    contain any conditions or invalid conditions, the system read from          
    last purchasing document in the info record and then suggest the price      
    from here. The price determined in this way are default values that         
    can be changed by the buyer if necessary.                                                                               
    You can save useful quotation data for a material in purchasing             
    info record. The info record can be created automatically by                
    setting the info update indicator during quotation maintenance              
    in the item detail.                                                                               
    Please first check is there any valid info record exist for this            
    material/vendor. You can always create/change/view it manually              
    via Ta ME11/ME12/Me13.                                                      
    Please read also the notes 392988, 456691.

  • Purchase info record for material groups

    Hi all,
    We have purchase info records for material groups, not material specific. When I create and activate integration model for these info records, no info record is sent to APO. Is there a way to create Transportaiton Lanes automatically in APO?
    Regards,
    Jenny

    Hi,
    In APOPurchase info record is transfered as external procurement relationship.
    Generally Transportation lanes are created automatically for plant to plant transfer when you define special procurement key in MRP view of material master accordingly.
    In case of T. lane for vendor, automatic generation may not work. Still you may try using correct special procurement key + material specific vendor info record..
    Thanks,

  • Mass Creation of Purchasing Info Records

    Hi all,
    we want to change the vendor for a certain amount of articles (old vendor e.g. 102, new vendor e.g. 768).
    To order the articles (maybe approx. 1000) by the new vendor, we need to create new Purchasing Info Record (for vendor 768) for every article bought by vendor 102.
    Is there a standard transaction to handle this? MASS_EINE doesn't seem to fit to my problem.
    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,
    You need to go for creating new Inforecord for Article, Vendor, Porg and Site Combination .
    You should not go for Mass Maintanace for changing vendor.
    Go for Uploading by  LSMW or BDC for ME11 tcode.

  • Purchase Info Record - Creation

    Hi,
    I want to create a Purchase Info Record. I came to know that, the following FM's are used for creating a Purchase Info Record.
    ME_INITIALIZE_INFORECORD
    ME_DIRECT_INPUT_INFORECORD
    ME_POST_INFORECORD
    The following are my questions....
    Is there any other FM's available for creating a Purchase Info Record. I want to test these FM's in SE37. Can anyone guide me with the minimum parameters required to run these FM's in SE37. How can I find the info record number created using these FM's.I mean to say.. there are no output parameters available in these FM's to know whether the PIR creation is success/wrong.
    I request everyone to help me with your answers.
    Many thanks !

    Hi,
    I am using the following information to execute the function module ME_DIRECT_INPUT_INFORECORD.
    Material : 123
    Material Group: 12164400
    Vendor Account Number: 100015
    Purchase Order Unit of Measure: PC
    Purchase Organization: 460
    Purchasing Group: 100
    Currency Key: DKK
    Plant: 316
    I get the error 'Please adjust conversion factors in conditions'.
    I do not know the root cause for this error. Can anyone guide me to solve this error? Have I missed any mandatory fields required to run the above mentioned FM?
    Kindly help. Many 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,
    Bijay Pradhan

  • Creation of purchase info records using me11 and me12

    are there any bapis for creation / update  of purchase info records with  pricing conditions using transaction me11 and me12 ?
    plz tell me ?
    Moderator message: please search for available information before asking.
    locked by: Thomas Zloch on Aug 10, 2010 2:52 PM

    looks like it accepted A017.
    Why did you choose basis type COND_A04 ?
    As this one is very special for long material numbers ( more than 18 digit material numbers) do you have such?
    E1VFSCAH is the Scale header in case of dimension specific scales. do you have such?
    Just try it with COND_A01

  • Purchasing info records for PO-items without material master

    Hi gurus,
    I would like to have the system automatically determine certain settings (e.g. reminder/urging data).
    For PO-items with material master there is no problem, because all information can be stored in the purchasing info record, and are automatically found when I enter the material number.
    For items without material number/master I tried to generate a info record for the material group. When I enter the no. of the info record, everything works fine. But the info record is not automatically found, if I only enter the material group no.
    Is there any way to make the system find the info record by itself?
    Thanks
    Alicia

    Thanks to both of you!
    Priyanka:
    How can you create a source list for a material group? I thought this was possible for materials only!?
    Of course, you cannot have more than one info record at a time for a material group. But one would be enough for me...
    Dhruba:
    Thanks for the advice, but I know how to manually select a info record. The point is, I'd like to have the system determine it according to the material group I enter.
    Any other ideas?

  • Purchasing Info record without material

    Hi All,
    How to create purchasing info record without material by Material group.
    What is the t.code used .Is there any config
    G.Ganesh Kumar

    you can create by using the same tcode ME11 without mentioning the material number and after entering the relevant data in the screen pleasepress enter and in the next screen enter the materail group.
    Do always mention the order unit as for the material group it is very necessary.
    The order unit and material group are used as a checking criteria.
    When you create Free Text Preq SYSTEM will suggest automatically the info record as a source of supply for the particular material group but it will not suggest automatically for the  free text PO.
    There you have to take the  searchhelp for material groups in the relevant field in the item overview screen where material group and order unit are taken into account for the checking criteria.

  • Two Purchase Info Records for Same Material & Plant Combination

    Hi,
    2 Purchase Info Records are there for Same Material & Plant for 2 Different Vendors & Net Price is maintained in both Info Records
    1. Material M1 - Plant 1000 - Vendor A - Net Price Rs.4
    2. Material M1 - Plant 2000 - Vendor B - Net Price Rs.3
    Vendor A is Regular Vendor
    (Tick as Regular Vendor is his Purchase Info Record)
    It is observed that Rs.3 is picked up for Costing Purposes
    Requirement is that - Net Price within Pur. Info Record of Regular Vendor i.e Rs. 4 must be picked up always for Costing Puposes.
    Is this possible???
    What Logic system uses while picking up the Price in case where there are 2 Pur. Info Records for same Material & Plant???
