A problem with Purchase info Record...

Hi all,
  Am a basis person with no experience on MM... so ill like to ask you MM geeks this....It will be best if i narrate my ordeal....I am try to investigate some things....I have a PO which was created on 8.12.2009 and a purchase info record related to this PO created on the 30.09.2009...and created by(Info Rec) a person who has the authorization to created POs but not info records.
Now my questions Are this.
1. Is it possible to have an info record created before its PO.
2. Are info records created automatically? if yes, when do this occur...

Hi Phemmy,
PO is a purchasing document. Info record is a master data that has a material-vendor relation set.  SAP recommends to create Info record before PO as it is a master data and the conditions ( net price & effective price) are adopted from it.
1. Po can be created before Info Recod. It is not mandatory the otherway round but recommended.
2. Info record is created automatically when a Po is created if the Infoupdate indicator is set in Po (Item details --> Material Data Tab).
3. Uncheck the Infoupdate indicator if the info record need not be created.

    Hi Phemmy,
    it is possible to create  PO before info record .info record establishes the relationship between vendor and your particular material.
    to answer your 2nd question:
    it is possible to create inforecord automatically during PO creation. in the ME2N screen, in the material tab, put the material code. then go to item details.in the materail data tab, you will get infoupdate  check it.and then inforecord will be created automatically.
    Thanks

  • Cost Estimate with Purchase info record

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a problem with Cost Estimation ( with Purchase info record), We hare using PIR ( Purchase Info records) for calculating cost estimation. These records are maintained on the base of Vendor and Material. There are some materials extended to more than one plant.Ex: Material: Mat1 are created under Plant PL1 and PL2.
    Problems is when we are executing cost run with parameters Mat1 and PL1, system some times taking PL2 ( the last transaction created with that material - irrespective of the plant )transactions also, please help me how to solve this problem, my user wants, system should take the transactions only selected plants.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    guess SAPNET note 713111 describes your system behaviour, additional information can be found in 351835.
    Maybe a valuation strategy with "user exit" can find the info-record price you are expecting.

  • Problem with  Creating Info Record

    Hello Gurus,
    I've problem with Creating Info Record
    i tried to create info record for Plant Specific/Purchase Org
    The first Screen General Data is OK
    i entered all the data in the next screen ie
    Purchase Organization Data screen but i'm getting error
    <b>Make an entry in all required fields</b>
    but there is Mandatory Textbox ie "VALID TO" which im unable to select Bcos its Disabled
    pls help me regarding this
    thanks in advance

    Hi
    Have u given the net price. <b>VALID TO</b> is the date until which the price shown in the info record is valid.
    If there is no price that is valid on the current date, the last-valid price is displayed and the date field contains the day before the start of the next validity period (this may be 12.31.9999 if there is no further validity date). If all validit periods lie beyond the current date, the price of the next period is displayed. The date field then contains the end date of this period.
    These validity periods we will maintain Purchse data CONDITIONS while creating info record. Check the validity period for the conditions.
    Hope this will helps u

  • Problem in Purchase info Record

    Hi All,
    When i try to put price in the inforecrd, it gives the Error that "Not possible to determine a condition type for the price"
    What does it mean...
    I have used P000 condition type in my Pricing for gross price...
    is this affecting this?
    And also, If i try to go in to Conditions in PIR it is not allowing me to go inside the conditions where we can maintain the scales for the prices.
    This is only happening in the info record of foreign vendors. My pricing for imported contains condition type P000 as gross price.
    Pls help...
    Regards,
    Puneeth

    Hi ,
    I believe we are maintaining the condition type PB00 for the price in PIR.
    So use PB00 and your problem get resolved.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Problem with Purchase info rec's(RM06IBI0)

    Hi experts,
    I have a querry, we are uploading PIR data through the program RM06IBI0, here if we enter any header condition type(KNTYP = H) (Like PB00) as the first record no problem is there.But, If we are not sending this Header condition type then, We are getting an error.
    Is there any rule while updating PIR data throgh the program RM06IBI0, we have to enter first PB00 ?
    Can any body explain this briefly.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sandya.

    Hi,
    You are right. You need to give PB00 - Base price as the first condition. If you hace a different condition type in your datafile for upload check with your MM consultant who can help you in customizing.
    And another point with respect to conditions in prg: RM06IBI0 is that if you have multiple conditions with scales ( value / quantity ), this would not work & in this case you need to load conditions separately by IDOC: COND_A / COND_A02
    Hope this helps.

  • Purchasing info Record - Auto update Setting

    Dear Experts,
    I have some query with purchasing info record: please go through the following scenario:
    I have created some po in post with tax code "V1 - 4% Vat"  and with reference to those info records are already created (as there was info update indicator was ticked in PO)
    now,  as tax rates are changed, i am creating PO with new tax code "V2 - 5% Vat" but even there is info update indicator is ticked in PO its not getting updated in the same info record
    kindly adivice what settings are required to be done in system.
    Thanks
    N. Chauhan

    Please note that if you create a PO for a material/ Vendor combination without a info record then system will automatically create an info record @ the time of PO creation If info update is on & will save the tax code in the info record which you enter in the PO.
    But once an info record is generated then system wont overwrite the tax code in the info record even though the info - update is on.  This is Std - System Behaviour.
    If you dont want the particular tax code then go to ME12 & edit the tax code & check.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Archive Purchase Info Record MM_EINA : problem with CDHDR

    Hello,
    I have notice that when i archive an Info Record, Only CDPOS is deleted and not CDHDR.
    In the customizing, Object Class CHANGEDOCU is set.
    Can someone explain why datas in CDHDR are not deleted ?
    Thank you,
    Cipriano

    Yes, I agree with Jurgen.  You should open a message with SAP.  As, the CDHDR records should be archived along with the CDPOS records.  That is how it works when I archive purchase info records with MM_EINA.

    Make sure your payment information on your iTunes account matches with your bank's. If it's correct and you still cannot purchase, you'll need to contact support and have them check your account.

    HI,
    ME1P will be used to monitor the changes in terms of pricing conditions you made to your info record via Transaction MEKP.
    In case of SA, you will have to build up your simple query by joining two tables A016 and KONP.

  • Purchase Info record - Split valuation

    Hi Experts,
    I have a problem in working with split valuation.
    I have a material with split valuation with valutation types Domestic and Import.
    Same vendor supplies both the valuation types material.
    I want to create purchase info record for two valuation types with the same material, vendor,purchasing org.,Plant.
    I am able to create info record for only one valuation type.
    Is there any way that I can create info record for both the valuation types for a vendor,material,Plant and Porg.?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards

    Dear Lakshmi,
    I'm not sure how u create an info record until val,type level  , as per i know valuation type is the information in the Purh.Org data in info record. So when maintaining info record you got combination of vendor,material, plant, p.org, and info rec category.
    The material per valuation type value will updated to the mat master when u done GR,
    So you dont need to maintain the value in info record, because in the material accounting level there'll be 2 valuation type for that material which contain both value for domestic and others.

  • Purchase info record price simulation

    Hi all,
    I need to emulate the process used by transaction me1l in order to make a price simulation to obtain the net price and the effective price from the purchase info record related to a PO item.
    I have to calculate them from the standard info record (info category = 0) using:
    - pricing date = PO creation date
    - simulation quantity = PO item quantity
    - base unit of measure = PO item unit of measure
    I have tried to use the function module ME_PRICING_INFORECORD but I haven't obtained the same values as using the transaction me1l. I don't know if I have used the correct input parameters but I have tried several options and I haven't obtained the correct values for any of them.
    The parameters used are:
    infoa = info record data obtained from table eina
    infoe = info record data obtained from table eine
    inpreissim -> simulation data:
          inpreissim-simng = PO item quantity
          inpreissim-simme = PO item unit of measure
          inpreissim-sidat = PO creation date
          inpreissim-pseff = 'X' for the effective price
          inpreissim-pseff = ' ' for the net price
    simulation = 'X'
    Does anybody know how I can emulate boton 'Price Simulation' in the transacction me1l in my code?

    Hi Carmen,
    i have the solution below
    but for several rows i received wrong value for net_price and currency ( i suppose that the problem is with RM06I, missing CLEAR statement)
    maybe the solution - CLEAR RM06I in ME_PRICING_DIALOG, because is not set up as initial, and takes values from previous row, if menge is initial
    IF NOT MENGE IS INITIAL.
    RM06I-SIMNG = MENGE.
    RM06I-MEIN2 = MEINS.
    KOMK-PRSDT = TERMIN.
    ENDIF.
    Do you have anybody the solution how set CLEAR RM06I ( i cannot modify SAP FM) or something else?
        CALL FUNCTION 'ME_PRICING_REFRESH'.
    Provides dialog box for entry of simulation parameters
        CALL FUNCTION 'ME_PRICING_DIALOG'
             EXPORTING
                  dunkel = 'X'
                  infoa  = la_eina
                  infoe  = la_eine
                  meins  = i_meins
                  menge  = i_menge
                  termin = i_termin.
    Price computations in Purchasing
        CALL FUNCTION 'ME_PRICING_INFORECORD'
             EXPORTING
                  dialog_not_by_zero = 'X'
                  infoa              = la_eina
                  infoe              = la_eine
                  simulation         = 'X'
             IMPORTING
                  preisp             = la_komp
                  preisk             = la_komk

  • Use of Purchase info records in SRM SC in Extended Classic scenario

    Hi All,
    We have implemented SRM 7.13 with Extended classic scenario. If we have Purchase info record in SAP ECC for the material, it gets populated in SRM SC in Source of supply Tab but the price of Purchase info record does not get updated in the SC line item.
    Can anyone let me know which configurations is required to fetch the Purchase info record price or we need to have a customization to achieve this.
    Thanks,
    Ankur

    HI Ankur
    when you say the price did not get updated did you check the sequence which is used for price determination ?
    1. User entry
    2. Contracts
    3.  Info record
    If still you think it is an issue please check the report  EBP_GET_BACKEND_PRICES and let me know if your problem gets fixed?
