Purchase order for external service

Dear experts,
I tried creating a purchase order for a service, with account assignment unknown U, with item category D, but after entering the item details in the item overview, it keep saying " ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT UNKNOWN NOT ALLOWED WITHOUT GOOD RECEIPT", i would like to know why this message is coming up, and how to rectify it, thanks for your anticipated contribution

Hi,
You can not use Account assignment unknown U in the creation of service order as system need a cost object with a G/L account during saving of service order which help system to post to required G/L account automatically on further transaction MIGO & MIRO posting.
You can create contract(ME31) with Account assignment unknown U & item category D as you do not know from which account or cost object specific the contract going to be used,so as the contract can be used for all department/cost center./project related in future.And then you can create a release order/call off/service order(ME21N) with Account assignment unknown K(in case of cost center) & item category D wrt contract with entering all likes cost object u2013 cost center , G/L account related with other input data.
Check any user exit which not allow to create with Account assignment unknown U & item category D.
NOTE: if you create service order with Account assignment unknown U & item category D,then during SES, you need to enter cost object ( K or P or C etc) with a G/L account.

Hi
T165A is used for 'Services Pricing'.
Please note that for Services PO, you will have two pricing schema.
1) At PO-Item Level : RM0000 (or whatever you define in schema determination in Purchasing ->Conditions IMG and assign in your vendor master)
2) At service line level : Based on settings in T165A.
If you check in Services level conditions screen and click on Analysis, you will find that ZS0001 is triggered.

Schema determination in sales order for external services

Hi,
I've created a maintenance order including two services into operation 10
(control key PM03). The pricing log in the order shows that the system
uses schema ZS0001. After releasing it, the purchase requisition (class
ZMS1) is created. When the PO is created (class ZMS2) via requisition
assignment list (ME58), the schema is changed to RM0000, despite of the
fact that table T165A contains the following entries:
Doc cat. Doc Type Procedure
B ZMS1 ZS0001
B ZMS2 ZS0001
F ZMS1 ZS0001
F ZMS2 ZS0001
I would need to keep the schema to ZS0001 in the sales order to perform
the right price determination.
Any help? Many thanks.

Delivery completed indicator in purchase order for service item

How can I make the delivery completed indicator (EKPO-ELIKZ) in a purchase order for a service item ready for direct changes.
Per default this field is hidden on purpose for service items (according to SAP note 735404). Please inform me of customizing entry where that can be changed!
Thanks,
Johnny

delivery completed indicator only gives information for MRP ( That not consider balance qty as onorder stock), it has no control on GR, so I am not sure what you will achieve to mark it in service PO?

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario, My Client has 3 Company Codes (1000, 2000, 3000 )
Company Code 1000 has 2-Plants    ( A001 and A002 )
Company Code 2000 has 1-Plant      ( B001 )
Comapny Code 3000 has 3-Plants   ( C001, C002, C003 )
All these 3-Company codes has centralised purchase organisation.
My Client requirement is to raise a single purchase order for external vendor, for all the plants A001, A002 which is in one company code and similarly in same Purchase Order for B001 plant which belongs to 2000 Company Code and Similarly for same purchase order for C001, C002, C003 plant which belongs to 3000 Company Code.
1)Is it possible to raise a Single Purchase to External Vendor for plants of Different Company Codes ?
2)Does it affect the accounting document ?
3)How to inward and where to inward these goods ? with respect to plant wise ?
Please Guide with Valuable inputs.
Thanks in Advance

1) How about Profit Centre ? We have Framed each Profit Centre with respect to Plant
Why should there be a problem?
2)In Case of Migo does we have to be careful and do stepwise MIGO with respect to different Plants ?
of course people have to be careful when performing transactions.
if you have multiple items in a PO then you can easily receive all items in one go. So people have to careful and need to check if they really received each of the PO items. Especially if people have authorization for many plants, then the user who is usually performing the receipts for plant A can easily post the receipts of plant B too.
3) How to Process MIRO ? Can we process Partial MIRO"S with respect to Line-items of those particular Plants ?
MIRO allows to post the invoice like it is send to you from your vendor. If it is just for a part of your PO then this is just a fact and MIRO allows to post this kind of invoices too.

Purchase order for services

When creating a purchase order for services, I am entering services lines in the SERVICES TAB, I would like to structure the services in the service specification into a hierarchy of outline levels. How I can do this? How can I activate the Service Specification outline ?
Thanks

Hello,
You can use an outline only in t the 'Full Screen: service'. In the Services full screen, you can choose 'Outline On/Off' to show and hide the service overview. You ser the width of the service overview as desired and when entering the transaction, system displays the settings selected before leaving the transaction.
If you select an outline level, the data area of the services displays the relevant service lines. You can choose 'Services' to display at outline level whether service line exist at outline level.

Hello andrewjkasten,
It's good to hear from you again, although I truly wish it were to share a more pleasant experience than when we previously conversed. It is always great to keep an eye on sales however you can so you don't miss them! I'm sorry to hear a technical issue may have caused your order to not reach our systems and missing out on a great sale price!
Using the information you registered with the forum, I've sadly been unable to locate your computer order. With that said, I would like to look further into this and am sending you a private message to gather the necessary information. I look forward to your correspondence!

Transfer of tax indicator to purchase order for service items in shopping cart

Hi all.
I have a problem with the tax indicator in the shopping carts and in the backend purchase orders for service items. If I create a shopping cart with service items with different tax indicators, the backend purchase order have a unique item including all the services. So, all the PO items are under one tax indicator while in the shopping cart there is more than one indicator. I mean, the PO is not correctly replicated with the information of the SC.
Example: shopping cart in SRM with 3 items, tax codes: V1, V2, V1. The standard code transfers the information to the backend, and creates a purchase order with an unique item with the 3 services under tax code V1. So, the second service is not under the correct tax code, and will be wrongly invoiced.
We have debugged all the code of the process, and we think it is a standard bug. When you replicate a PO in the backend from a SC in SRM, have you experienced this behaviour, or the service items are grouped in different PO items each one with the correct tax indicator?
Thanks in advance.

Hi again...
I forgot to mention that we have found and applied the note 1822107 (Purchase order: wrong tax code for PO with 2 service items), that fits exactly to our problem. But after testing, it doesn't work.

Billing for External Services to Customer

Hi All,
Please advice how to bill customer for External Services like civil work etc.
My client uses services from external companies so if they have contract with customer for that,after completing the work they want to bill it to customer ,pls advice.
Muzamil

Muzamil,
If you are using projects, you can create an external or service activity depending upon whether you are entitling the vendor to perform some work or a service. Once you create and release the network activity, a purchase requisition is created, which then will be converted into a purchase order by your purchasing department. The purchase requisition/order commitment will appear on the network activity (project) and when the vendor sends you a goods receipt/invoice (depending on configuration), your project receives the cost. Then, depending on how you are billing your customer, you could incorporate these costs also into your customer billing.
If you need further explanation on billing, please write back with details about how you are billing your customers currently (if based on a project).
Regards,
Venkat.

Production order overlapping with purchase orders for outside process

I set up the overlap option in a router so we can send 50 pieces (total order quantity is 200) of material ahead to an outside heat treat operation. When we try to create the purchase order for the 50 to be sent out for heat treat two problems occur.
1. The quatity in the purchase order is for the entire order of 200, not 50.
2. We get a message "Date /23/2010 period D is not valid.
We currently do not use the functionality of splits and overlaps so if anyone can help or guide me to a good resource I would appreciate it.
Regards.
Gail
Edited by: Gail Weeks on Nov 12, 2010 4:19 PM
If anyone could help with this question I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Gail:
the next operation would be an external operation in your order ? That is, has some external Operation Control Key?
Then the PurReq for this operation is created at creation or release of the production order by the total operation quantity. Ovelapping allows you to reduce some total time in order, but I don think that can be applied for the purpose you describe. Let us know more details about your requirement.

Limit PO Err Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services

Hi,
I am having a problem while replicating free text Limit PO's to R/3 in SRM 4.0 SP 13. The issue is while creating Free Text Limit SC with the "Confirmation and Invoice" option checked in, the PO's get created in SRM but fails while replicating to R/3 and in RZ20 errors as "Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services" although in vendor master i don't have check for the field "GR-Based Invoice Verification".
On the contrary while creating SC with the "Invoice Only" the PO is successfully replicated to R/3 with item category as B for limit orders.
Now i have noticed if i make changes in the vendor master data i.e. check the flag "GR-Based Invoice Verification" then the PO in my first scenario gets replicated successfully and also with respect to the second scenario but it gets replicated in both the scenarios as item category "D".
As far as SRM standard it should have ideally behave like the below:
Limit SC with GR AND Invoice -> item category D
Limit SC with invoice only -> item category B.
Now my question is why do my PO's fail in R/3 in the first scenario and also if i check the flag in vendor master for GR-Based Invoice verification then in the second scenario the item category is "D" instead of "B".
Thanks in Advance.
