Hi Amit,

  • IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE A PO WITHOUT PLANT

    HELLO EXPERTS,
    I have following business scenario,,
    for a material X , price for plant A is 20 rupees and for other plant 25 rupees.
    I have created one info record for that .
    PLANT SPECIFIC INFO RECORD (plant A) 20 rupees
    INFO RECORD (WITHOUT ANY PLANT )   25 rupees
    but when i going to make a PO it will ask for plant , and after i giving the plant name it will pick the plant specific value(20 rupees). So I cant able to do the 2nd scenario, i mean ..with 25 rupees.
    As I know that it is not possible to make a purchase order without PLANT.
    SO IS THERE ANY ALTERNATIVE WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
    again in my screen layout setting ( standard purchase order NB / NBF ). IN BASIC item PLANT HAS OPTIONAL ENTRY NOT REQUIRED ENTRY.Than why it is asking that plant is mandatory when i m making a standard PO.
    plz hepl me
    regards

    Hi,
    Without entering the Plant you cann't create the PO. Plant is mandatory.
    If your Materials is maintained in 2 Plant then the Price in both the plants is different (20 & 25)
    So in the same PO you can enter the 2 line items with the same material and enter the 2 plants respectiviely with the net price as 20 & 25 (or will pick from Info record)
    If you want same material is valuated in 2 price in single plant you can use the Split valuation method ( Val category & valuation type )

  • Bills of material without plant.

    Hi,
    what is the impact to create a Bill of Material without Plant ?
    Best regards

    Hi,
    Special features of group BOMS:
    A plant check is not carried out for the materials in a
    group BOM.
    A group BOM is not exploded in material requirements
    planning and in the production order.
    Group bills of material are mainly created in the design
    phase and then later assigned to one or more plants for
    production.
    A collection of bills of material that lets you describe a
    product or a number of similar products.
    The following bills of material comprise a BOM group:
    All the variants of a variant BOM
    All the alternatives of a multiple BOM

  • Info record without Plant

    Hi,
    I have got standard inforecord created without plant  and with plant for a given material code and vendor code combination. I put tick mark in deletion indicator in condition tab for without plant as I want to use info record with plant only.
    But since I put deletion indicator in condition tab, its net price and effective price became zero.
    Now when I am trying to create PO, even though correct inforecord exists with required condition value with plant, system is finding inforecord without plant with zero effective price and giving error message "Maintain Pricing Condition In Info record".
    Kindly suggest how I can remove info record without plant and generate PO with info record with plant.
    Thanks & Regards
    Ratna

    Remove deletion flag in ME15,
    Extend info record for vendor,material,purchase orgn,plant using ME11,press enter,maintain price in condition tab.

  • CIF: ECC Material without plant assignment

    Hi Experts,
    i have a question regarding to CIF'ing of ECC materials to APO.
    Is it possible to CIF ECC materials to APO without an assignment of a plant to this material? If yes, how is this possible?
    We have several materials without such an assignment maintained in ECC (material group packiging material) and they are needed in APO.
    Kind regards
    Jens

    Jens,
    When I say 'planning system', I am not talking about predictabiity.  I am talking about the generic term concerning the management of supply and demand (which is mostly what APO does).
    In ECC, a packaging material is not normally treated as a resource.  It is a material.  It is unclear to me how you are using packaging materials to represent resources.
    A Product master can exist in APO without locations assigned.  Therefore, I suspect that using enhancements, it might be possible to CIF across only MARA data and not MARC data, but I have never tried it.   Perhaps one of the other Gurus can offer additional insights.
    Best Regards,

  • IORDER01 IDoc is sent without plant code from SAP ECC

    Hi MEINT experts,
    Does anyone experience before on the service order integration between SAP ERP and SAP ME, somehow the IORDER01 IDoc is sent over with empty plant code embedded in the original document? (where we suppose to see <WERKS> data tag is attached to the IDoc sent over from SAP ECC). This has resulted to the corresponding IDoc is not able to process by MEINT due to empty plant code.
    Please advice how to resolve this if you have done that before.

    Hi,
    Once the issue stems from ERP side of integration process, this question should be either re-posted to ERP-related forum or submitted as a customer ticket against PP-MES component.

  • Intercompany Scenario for Export and without Plant

    Hi
    Our client creates Big Projects; with two company Codes, One in India and another in Germany. They are working on PS. In most of the cases they get an order and they send the required material through Vendor, Vendor uses his Excise Invoice for sending the material and submit his Invoice to our Client for Payment. In turn our Client Bill to Customer and collect the payment; so use Third Party Sales Process. There is no Delivery from our Client Plant.
    Besides the material our Client also provide Services.
    Now the requirement is to Map the Intercompany Sale. It is not mapped at present, and so doing outside SAP. This need to be mapped. Scenario is like Sales Organisation of Germany gets the Order (for Material and Services both) they pass this order to Sales Organisation which belongs to Co. Code of India. Now material is sent from Vendor and India will bill to Germany and Germany will do the final billing to Customer. Here the customer is outside of India so India will have to Export, and Plant of our Client is not involved, as Material is sent from Vendor.
    Also the same scenario happens for providing the manpower.
    Guide me how can I map this scenario in SAP.
    Thanks and Regrds

  • Please help....BOM structure in CRM without plant

    We have the BOM structures downloaded into the CRM system from the R/3 system, but have an issue with the plant data.  
    When we enter the product into the sales order, it explodes, but brings in all components,not just the ones related to a specific plant.   the issue is that because plant doesn't exist in the CRM system, it cannot determine only the componet parts for that plant in crm.
    Has anyone else encountered this issue and can help?

  • Purchase service to Vendor assigned to a plant

    Hi experts,
    I want to do an internal po for a service material type (without plant view) to a vendor who is assigned to a Plant (vendor Master Data -> Adiotinal Purch. Data). Can't delete this assignment because I have a intercompany process wich uses this vendor.
    I can create po's with this document type for any vendor except those who are assigned to a plant.
    Any suggestions?
    When I try to make the po, those are the errors:

  • Plant restriction in Contracts

    SDN Experts,
    Could you help me in the following issue? Our customer wants to create a contract in ECC which can be used by almost every plant of its company code. However there are a few plants that cannot use this contract. Is there a way to restric which plants can use this contract to create purchase requisition's/purchase order?
    For example:
    The plants A, B, C and D are assigned to Comp. Code 123. Contract 4400 is created and should be used only by plant A, B and C. Plant D cannot use this contract. How can this be achieved without replicating each item of this contract to plant A, B and C?
    Obs: The option to replicate each line of the contract for the plants that will use is not valid, because the contract may contain thousand of items.
    Thanks,
    Gustavo

    Dear Simil,
    >If you can  use  2 purchase organisations.
    You can assign P.org1 to plants A, B,C & P.org2 to D
    Create contarcts at P.Org level so that you can use for A,B and C.
    >If you dont want 2 p.organisations
    create contracts without plants, so that A,B,C can use the contract.
    For Plant D create  contracts with plant D. In PO need to put a small validation to avoid other than d contracts/
    Hope it will helps you

  • Is it possible to create info record without material number

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to create infor record without material master and what is the importance of the field Info update in PO.
    Thank you for the help.

    Hi,
    1.Yes you can create Info record without material no. but you have create it for material group.Go to ME11 and only enter vendor ,Purchasing organization , and Plant don't enter material no.. and again enter maitain material gruop and require data for Material group.
    2.Info Update indicator -
    Info record update
        Determines whether the prices and conditions of this purchase order ite
        are suggested in future PO items.
    Use
        Selecting InfoUpdate causes one of the following situations to occur:
            -   If just one info record (with or without plant) exists, it is
                updated.
            -   If no info record exists and "plant condition requirement" was
                specified in Customizing, an info record with plant is created.
                Otherwise, an info record without plant is created.
            -   If two info records exist (that is, one info record with plant
                and one without plant) the info record with plant is updated.

  • Delivering Plant....  as in Shipping Conditions

    Hi Every one,
    The shipping point is determined by the following,
    1)Shipping conditions..from CUSTOMER MASTER RECORD
    2)Loading Group ..from MATERIAL MASTER RECORD
    3) and Delivering Plant...from SALES ORDER
    My question is, what it means by that the system determines,"  the delivering plant of the line item in the SALES ORDER".
    How the system determines" Plant" from the "SALES ORDER", as there is no  "Plant" in the "SALES ORDER".
    I appreciate your help.
    Thanks.
    VM

    Hi there,
    When you enter a material in a sales order, it is the plant determination that happens 1st.
    Plnt is determined from customer - material info record VD51. If it is not maintined there, system will check for customer master record (sales area data --> Shipping). It doesnot find there also then system will look for material master --> sales general plant. System is sure to find the plant in material master as it will not allow you save MM01 without plant.
    After plant determiantion, shippiing point is determined:
    Shipping conditions (either from VOV8 --> shipping or from customer master --> shipping) / loading grp (material master --> sales general) / Plant (which is proposed from above process.
    After shipping point, route determination happens.
    Hope this clarifies.

  • Inforecord - only plant relevant conditions

    Hi Experts,
    could any of You pls help me with an inforecord condition issue?
    I would like to use plant AND purchasing organisational relevant inforecord - both are necessary. I have configured the V_001W_K table (Activate condition Maintenance for Plant), but somehow i did not end up at the desired state:
    if I set to a plant - no Plant relevant conditions are allowed - I can not create an inforecord assigned to a plant - which is OK But if I added - only plant relevant conditions are allowed - I was still able to create an inforecord with price conditions with no plant - I expected, this would be forbidden as well. (purch organisation : plant - N:1 - so plant could be mandantory).
    Now users keep creating inforecords with and without plant - which should be stopped, preferably to create only purch org AND plant relevant data.
    Could any of You pls tell me, what I miss: setting or misunderstanding the configuration possibilities.
    Answers will be appreciated

    This bit of config (help text below) ? If so then a misunderstanding.  The setting relates to Conditions, not whether the PIR are set per Plant in themselves.
    Indicator: Conditions at plant level
    Determines how prices and conditions are stored for the relevant plant.
    Use
    If conditions are allowed at plant level, you must create purchasing info records and contract items relating to the plant. Centrally agreed contracts cannot then be created.
    If conditions are not allowed at plant level, you may not create any purchasing info records or contract items relating specifically to the plant.
    If conditions are allowed with or without a plant, you can create purchasing info records that either do or do not relate specifically to the plant.
