Material Master,Vedor Master and Info record

Hi
When we create all these record, some of the fields are populated from one an other, so if we change these common field in one record, will it be changed itself in other record?like purchasing value key in MM and Info record are common so if we change this one in info record,the change in MM will be done itself or not and if not why?

Hi,
Let me take one example of reminder days only.
Now material master's reminder days are specific and limited to that material only. for ex for material "007" reminder days are 3,6 and 9. that is in general.
but when that material is provided by X vendor than reminder should be 4,7 and 11..than what?
that should be maintained in info record. so info record is one level up for data maintenance. so if there is no info record, reminder days will be take from material master that is first level. but if you have maintained info record , means you want some specific data for that material when it is provided by any specific vendor..than reminder should be taken from info record.
when data is adopted , first system checks info record than material master/vendor master.
so when you create info record, some data are taken from master data ( material master/vendor master) but you can overwrite it base upon your need.
than that data is fixed for that material n vendor..it doesnt change if you change master data...
hope this solves your query..
reward if useful.and revert if any doubt
regards

Difference between source list and info records

Dear All,
What is the difference between Source List and Info Records?
Thanks N Regards
Anandasiva

Hi,
The source list is the list which shows the sources from which you can procure the material. If you have ticked the source list requirement in the material master, then you can procure the material only from the vendors mentioned in the source list.
In Inf Record, you maintain the data for a material supplied by a vendor. e.g. Material price, tax code, other conditions,, buyer code, delivery & payment terms.
Hope your requirement is fulfilled.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.

Multiple Material Numbers to use one Info Record

I have several material numbers that I have recently set up as Subcontracting special procurement. All of these numbers use one quote from our vendor. How do I assign multiple numbers to a single info record?
Thanks for your assistance!!

SAP knows 2 kind of subcontracting scenarios, a purchasing route and a production route.
in the purchasing subcontract scenario you order the finished material with item category L, you can see the components in the purchase order and you consume the components when you post the goods receipt to this purchase order.
in the production route, you create production orders to "manufacture" the finished and to consume the components, the purchase order is only to procure the service. you do goods receipt and cosumption in reference to the production order, and you do a goods receipt for the service in reference to the purchase order.
if the info record is without material number,then you cannot have a permanent link to a material if you use the purchasing route.
Usually SAP will propose the info record as source when you assign and process requisitions in ME57. I doupt that SAP will propose info records without material number for requisition with material number. so the only chance to assign such info record to a PO to get the price defaulted would be manual entry of info record number in ME21N (F4 search help is available)
in the production subcontracting process you can enter the info record number in the recipe, so you can establish a permanent link in master data. So SAP exactly knows which info record price to pull for the service orders. and in this process you can enter one info record number in several recipes.

Contracts and Info Records

Hi All,
Please try to address the following
1) In standard SAP, when we create a contract, will the Info record automatically created?
2) In my client environment (may be due to some enhancements) when i am creating a contract, Info Record is automatically getting created. Is there any setting which avoids automatic creation of Info Record when creating a contract.

HI,
May be there is a Info record update indicator checked in material master?? check this and deactivate it.
It will not get created. where and all u come across this indicator uncheck it.
Thanks & regards,
Kiran

PO creation date and info record validy price relation.

Dear Gurus,
While creating a PO, when I change the PO creation date, price in the PO will change according to the validity start date based on the PIR.I believe thats the logic right? I have a scenario, I'm facing a problem that when I change the PO creation date between 2011 and 2012 period, the price of the PO at times will not change according to the PIR validity start date. Is there any OSS note related to this issue or I'm missing out any logic?
Validity periods
Validity on        Validity to         Deletion Flag.
04.11.2011       31.12.2011              x
01.01.2012       31.12.9999

HI,
By default, the pricing conditions are dependant on PO document date.
But there are different options like, whether you want your pricing to be dependant on Delivery date of PO item or current date (sy-datum) or GR date etc.
This filed is available in 2 places: 1. Vendor master>purchasing data> Pricing Date Control
2. Info record>Purchasing data> Pr.Date Cat.
Check in these 2 places and then simulate pricing by changing the corresponding date.

Contract and info record

Hi Friends,
If we use Purchasing Contracts, do we need to create info records also?
If we don't create info records for the materials which have contracts is there any issue?
When we go for contract and when for info and what is the main difference between therm?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
Maintaining Info record is compulsory to get the rate for the material for the contract, either for value or quantity contract.
When you create PO the priority will be in the following order.
1. quota arangement
2. sourcelist
3. outline agreement
4. PIR
and if all are not present then it'll search for the last PO..
If you have not maintained any of them in the system, and if you have used the info update indicator in the PO, then system create the new inforecord for the vendor material combinations based on the org. levels

Material costing - consideration of consignment info records

Hi All,
within material costing, it is possible to get material prices of components by reading the purchasing inforecord ( transaction OKK4, see possible values of strategy sequence ). My problem is: SAP standard does only consider standard inforecords, but no consignment inforecords. I got an answer on an OSS-quest saying that this can be only acchieved by a modification. Does anybody know the right place for this modification, or is there a suitable enhancement I could use?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Could you please give details in how did you use Userexit COPCP005?
Kind Regards!

Create Purchase info record using LSMW idoc method

Hello Friends,
I am trying to update Purchase Info records using LSMW Standard program RM06IBI0.
But it is not updating the condition price details and scale Quantity.
For that the form suggessted LSMW IDOC method. with : Message Type         COND_A / COND_A02.
But i dont know is the info record created earlier to this step or else we can create both using this method
at a time ? Does anybody please suggest.
( Actually Purchase Info record created using transaction ME11 ).
Regards,
Phaneendra

you first create the info record and subsequently you load the conditions.
become familiar with the condition tables and its key first. Check How table A017 and A018 are maintained.
Intresting is the field VAKEY which is actually the link to your info record.
This is a combination of vendor, material, purchasing org, plant , and info record indicator.
data: begin of ZZVARKEYA,
        ZLIFNR like LFM1-LIFNR,
        ZMATNR like MARc-MATNR,
        ZEKORG like LFM1-EKORG,
        ZWERKS like MARC-WERKS,
        ZINFTYP like EINE-ESOKZ,
        end of zzvarkeyA.

Payment terms in Vendor Master data and purchasing info record

Hi, all, I met one trouble. While I create Purchase Order. In the header item, payment terms is automatically pop up from the data maintaining the vendor master data or purchasing info record if there is difference payment terms between in vendor master data and in purchasing info record. What happend?
Sometimes, When you create purchase order, payment terms is not automatically pop up even you maintained in the vendor master data or purchasing info record. Why? Is it meaning that I can manually to input payment terms while create each purchase order which can be difference data with vendor master data or purchase info record?
Thank you very much in advance,

Hi,
The payment terms is usually defaulted from either vendor master or purchasing master data record such as contract/outline agreement. Unless it is set through configuration that the payment terms be set as mandatory, any failure to maintain payment terms won't stop you from posting your PO as this information will only be useful during invoice receipt maintenance. Having said that if you are setting up your system with discount condition type as part of your PO pricing schema then it is necessary that the payment terms shall be maintained during PO creation.
Cheers,

Error in BAPI_PO_CHANGE - No info record exists from material and vendor

Hi,
I am using BAPI_PO_CHANGE for performing material exchange in a PO.
While the new exchanged material do not have any info record for the vendor, the BAPI is throwing an error " No info record exists for material ABC and vendor ABC."
The funny thing is the bapi return Error message shows the vendor number and material number same. Infact the material is A and vendor is B.
We will not maintain any info records and hence the BAPI should not ask us to maintain any info record.
Also I want to mention that Material exchange is working fine in ME22N but BAPI is throwing the error. The above error is a warning message in ME22N but a hard error in BAPI.
Anyone having any idea? Please help.
<promise removed by moderator>
Thanks in advance.

The error and the same values would seem to indicate an error in the input to the BAPI...

How to create a PO for a Material having Net Price but without Info Record?

Hi,
When I try to create a PO for a Material having Material Master and Vendor Master maintained but no Info Record, system does not accept the Net Price and the Price Condition also does not appear. Is there any way to create a PO for a Material having Net Price but without Info Record?
Regards.

Hi,
The first time you create a PO for a material/vendor combination, then system will not prompt any price as info record or valid conditions have not been found.
The next time you create a PO for the same material, then the price will be defaulted/found from the order price history from the info record(As info record would be reated after the first PO is created) and the latest PO price for the mat/ven combination would be found.
Hope you are clear with this..Any doubts revert back.
Regards,
Deepak.

Under and over delivery tolerance are not defaulted from Info record

Under and over delivery tolerance are not defaulted from Info record. Does purchasing value key in material master has precedence over info record.
What are the settings I have to check.
Thnaks and regards,
Suranjana

No, Info records has precedence on PO than material master
please check your info record and than verify the PO's plant and info record plant
you might have more than one inforecord per plant for same vendor and material.
so please check you have right value in right info record as per the PO vendor, mateiral and plant and Purchase org

Differences between info records and conditions

In pricing of purchasing, I have found using both info records and conditions. Also in the menu path <b><i>Logistics->Material Management->Purchasing->Master data</i></b> have both 'Info record' and 'condition' menu folder.
I want to know the differences between info record and condition and where to use them respectively. Anyone can help me?
Thanks a lot!
--Alex

Hi ,
Condition enables you to store pricing stipulations agreed with the vendor (such as applicable discounts or surcharges, or stipulations regarding the payment of freight costs) in the system. You can enter these conditions in quotations, outline purchase agreements, and info records. You also have the option of entering general conditions at vendor level, for example. The system then applies the conditions in determining the price in purchase orders (POs). You can enter further conditions in the PO itself.
Simply put - Info-record is a type of condition record.
Purpose of Condition Records for S&D
Condition records allow you to store and retrieve pricing data in the system. All the pricing elements of your daily business - the prices, discounts, and surcharges for freight and taxes - that you want to use for automatic pricing must be stored in the system as condition records. You can define as many condition records as you want for the different pricing elements for any validity period.
You create condition records for all the pricing elements that the system takes into account during automatic pricing. During document processing, the system transfers data from the condition records and determines the amounts for individual pricing elements (prices, discounts and surcharges) and the final amount for the sales document.
For MM and S&D related condition information refer to the following URL :
