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.
Regards,
Vivek

  • 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.

    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.

  • Restricting ouput type for a purchase order

    Hi,

  • GR Based IV tick for Import Purchase Order

    Hello Friends
    Whats the significance of keeping GR based IV check box as unchecked for import purchase order.I am selecting this indicator and still i am able to do the process as follows
    1. ME21n 2. MIRO (BOE capturing) 3. MIGO 4. Post Excise invoice 4. MIRO (Material Vendor)
    Still could not understand why this indicator is suggested to keep as unchecked for import purchase order processing.
    Please clarify.
    Regards
    Vivek sharma

    Hi
    For import POs , it is required that the GRbased Inv ver key removed, as we need to pay the amount due to the customs. We are yet to receive the material in our Goodown i.e goods receipt is yet to be done but payment to Customs has to be made  only then material GR can be carried out. You have to enter manula values(amounts) for this to be processed. What you said  reg the MIRO rpocessing evenefore Material receipt, this is possible , duirng MIRO you need to anter the quanity and the correspondingamount to be processed. While if you have GRbased Inv.verification then you need not enter material quanity or value manually which is automatic.

  • Bom explosion in the item detail screen for standard purchase order

    Hi Gurs,
    we have a requirement to expolde bom in standard purchase order in the main item screen like in any
    sales order where
    main item will be item 10
    sub item will be item 20
    sub item will be item 30
    we had already exploded bom through subcontracting but sub items are getting in a different screen.
    Is there any way where we can get the subitems in the main screen rather than subscreen.
    It will be gr8 if you can provide us any userexit/badi.
    pls give your suggestions.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Radhakrishna.

    Hi,
    This is not possible in standard SAP. However, you can create a custom program to make this happen. The custom program should explode BOM for the material you enter and then call the bapi BAPI_PO_CREATE to create PO with all the components one after the other in the same PO.
    Thanks,

  • How to set up automatic payment for the purchase order

    Hi, All,
    I have one question how to set up automatically payment for the Rent Office purchase Order?
    There is the requirement from the client. They want to create one kind of purchase order for the Office Rent, then pay the fees in the certain time of every month to the vendor for the rent fees without any invoice. Whatu2019s the normal solution for this kind of purchase order? Is it ERS? Or something else?
    Please give me the details and business flow. Also please tell me how to setup in the SAP and T-code.
    Thanks in advance

    Either you can set up ERS or you can pay directly from the FI side.
    Prerequisites
    Evaluated receipt settlement must be flagged in the purchase order item.
    The vendor must be flagged as being subject to ERS in the vendor master record.
    The goods receipt must refer to a purchase order.
    Goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification must be defined for the purchase order item.
    A tax code must have been maintained in the purchase order item.
    The order price of the materials may not be an estimated price.
    If you flag a vendor as being subject to ERS, the system sets the ERS indicator as a default in each item when you create a purchase order for the vendor. You can prevent this happening for certain vendors by flagging the info record for the material and the vendor as not being subject to ERS.
    In Purchasing, you can delete the default ERS indicator in a purchase order item.
    Choose Logistics Invoice Verification ® Automatic Settlement ® Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS).
    The selection screen appears.
    You can use the following criteria to narrow down selection of the transactions to be settled:
    Company code
    Plant
    Goods receipt posting date
    Goods receipt document
    Fiscal year of the goods receipt
    Vendor
    Purchase order and order item
    You can define the selection criteria for the invoice documents by:
    Delivery
    Purchase order
    Purchase order item
    Goods receipt document
    Credit memo
    Invoice
    Currency
    Choose  Execute.
    The system issues a log for Evaluated Receipt Settlement, which displays the following:
    Settled
    In line with your selection criteria, the system displays all the order items that were settled (or if you are working in test mode, which would have been settled).
    Could not be settled
    In line with your selection criteria, the system displays all order items for which ERS is defined but could not be settled. It also lists the reasons.
    If the system reports being unable to invoice a transaction, you should exclude the transaction from ERS to avoid it being included in the log the next time ERS is run.
    Select the item and choose Exclude from ERS.
    The system also generates and possibly sends a message to inform the vendor(s) about the transaction settled, depending on the settings in Customizing.
    You can display the following environment information for the order items selected. To do this, choose Goto ®:
    Display purchase order
    Display invoice
    Display material document
    Display long text

  • 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

    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.

  • Purchase orders based on sales orders.

    Hello Experts!
    I am using MRP in order to create purchase orders based on my sales orders, thats the easy part. My problem is that i need to create a report matching the sales orders with the corresponding purchased orders created through the MRP wizard.
    Where can i find such a link between POR1 and RDR1? is there a way I can obtain such report?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards.
    Javier.

    Hi Rakesh, thanks for your reply. Well i was trying to use the POR1.BaseType and POR1.BaseEntry in order to match them with RDR1.ObjType and RDR1.DocEntry, but POR1.BaseType and POR1.BaseEntry have NULL as their value.
    I thought creating orders using MRP was supossed to set the corresponding values to those fields. Is there any other way i can link a purchase order created via the MRP wizard to the base sales order?.
    Best regards.

  • 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 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,

  • BOM in standard PURCHASE order/requisition

    I would like to use BOM as a specification of a "group" of materials procured many times in the same or similar configuration.(eg. servers with specific configuration listing all parts).
    Is it possible, to use material BOM in standard purchase order (NEITHER SUBCONTRACTING NOR PRODUCTION ORDERS) as a kind of "recipe" for eg. server configuration.
    What I would like to achive is to reduce ammount of work in document entry. Instead of entering 30-50 position for each purchase requisition/order, I would like to use for this material BOM.
    Is it possible?
    If not, what other object can serve for preparing a list of materials to procure?
    How the buttons "BOM Explosion" and "Components" can be turned on on standard purchase order/requisition?
    Thanks in advance for help.
    Best regards,
    Wojciech

    Hi,
    To the best  of my knowledge - BOM's are used in the context of value addition say - a manufacturing or processing involved in converting the inputs to the final prodcut.
    While configurable items are used in a scenario where in a simple putting together / packaging in to a kit kind of activity is involved.In this scenario the final product is packaged to the requirements from picking the items of choice from the available prodcut list.
    As it seemed the requirement as indicated in the question are in line with this concept I had suggested this solution of usage of Configurable materials.
    I have not come accross a scenario of BOM and BOM explosion in Procurement excepet for Sub contracting.
    How ever , I appreciate if any one can share information on BOM & Explosion in  Purchase order.
    Hope this information helps.
    Thanks & regards

  • IMG settings after creating new output type for a purchase order smartform

    Hi all,
    Do I need to make changes in IMG after creating a new output type in NACE for a purchase order smartform?
    I have customized a purchase order smartform according to the requirements and copied an existing output type and assigned the custom form name.
    When I am trying to create a purchase order to test it, I am going to the message tab for assigning the output type and if I press F4 on the output type field or if I give the copied output type there, it says output type is not defined.
    Do I need to make any changes in SPRO?
    Regards,
    Anik

    Yes. You have to add the new output type to the proper message determination schema.
    Go to the IMG and select Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Messages -> Output control -> Message determination schemas -> Define message schema for purchase order -> Maintain Message Determination Schema: Purchase Order.
    Select the proper schema, then Control Data and insert your new output type into the schema (eventually with any requirement that may be necessary... you probably want to use 101 like in case of the regular NEU message).
    This should do it.
