About external procurement profile

Hi guys
can you tell me whats External procurement profile?
Does this profile does not allow to transfer PR to SRM using CPPR esoa.
I got below error when i click Transfer to central system button in CPPR screen.
PR xxxxx item xxxx has External procurement profile.
When i created PR in ME51N and released, its saved in EPRTRANS table.
and i could not see any xml created in SXMB_MONI tr-cd or using Service Sorucing request_out outbound.
I can see T160EX table has entries for Mat grp and pur group, should i have to check the MANUAL flag?
i swear it may affect the existing environment, bcoz we are using BBP_REQ-Transfer program to transfer now.
Note
I implemented BADI and activated linkages.
Pls advice how to debug this issue
Regards
Ckumar

issue resolved...i changed the manual flag in T160EX table.
Thanks

External Procurement with a Valuated Sales Order Stock

Hi Experts,
I read the following in SAP Help,
For external procurement with a Valuated Sales Order Stock, system generates a purchase requisition from the sales order.
If you are using a valuated sales order stock, the externally procured material is assigned to inventory at the time of the goods receipt. If the sales order item is flagged as carrying costs and revenues, then when the goods issue for delivery to the customer takes place, the sales order item is debited with the costs of the externally procured material.
My question is - it says costs of external procurement is debited to sales order item when " goods issue for delivery to the customer takes place"
- but in my case, when I made the GR for purchase order (created automatically by sales order), system directly posted the procurement cost as actual costs to the sales order item. There is no delivery for sales order done still.
So actually, when should the external procurement cost be debited to sales order item -- when GR for purchase order is done (or) when goods issue for delivery to the customer takes place?
Thanks,
GAN

Hi Rafi,
Thanks for your reply. I understand the problem now.
Material which comes from prod order is posted statistically (value type 11) to sales order when GR for prod order is done.
Here, the issue is about a GR for purchase order (assigned to sales order). This material purchased is not used in any production process. Its a material which is supplied to customer along with main material produced in house.
In purchase order, I have given the consumption account (which is cost element 1). Entry was Consumption Dr and GR/IR Cr. So, this posted as actual cost to sales order.
I should have given inventory account in purchase order (with cost element 90).
Its a mistake of using consumption account in purchase order.
Thanks.

Inactive External Procurement Relationship on a Trans Lane

Hello Experts,
I have a situation were a PIR record in ECC has been flagged for deletion for a particular Material/Vendor/Plant/Purch Org. combination. The problem appears in APO. After the PIR changes are processed through the CIF, the External Procurement Relationship on the Transportation Lane for all same Plant/same Vendor/same Material/different Purch Org. are marked as inactive.
Example. Vendor 123, Plant ABC, Material a1b2c3, Puchasing Org. 1000 is inactive in ECC (PIR marked for deletion) and APO.
Vendor 123, Plant ABC, Material a1b2c3, Purchasing Org, 2000 is also inactive in APO and should not be.
Is this situation were all the Plant/Vendor/Material/Purch Org. records are marked as inactive standard delivered functinality? This issue is preventing Work Orders from getting created in SNC.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jeff Hnatiak

Hi Jeff
Which version of SCM are you using? I am not sure about the specific behaviour in this case, but would tend to believe that this is not a standard one. Please try to do an intial transfer of the IM using RIMODINI and also share the selction for IM in CFM1.
Thanks,

External Procurement with MRP based on sales demand w/o Production unit.

Dear Friends,
Plant AAAA is a central warehouse (Distribution center),from where materials are dispatched to other storage locations.
AAAA is non manufacturing unit and is dealing only with FG's.
Sales demand will come from different storage locations,based on which external procurement of FG's will be started.
1.,how the sales demand can be turned into external procurement through MRP?.
2.Please provide the customization settings to achieve the same.
Regards,
Venkatesh

Hi Venkat,
Try to use the functinality SOP, where you can maintain the demand in the system by T-code MD61 after getting all the sales demand from various locations,
When you run the MRP, this demand will be considered & accordingly procurement proposal will be generated by the MRP run.
Also you can go through below links sublinks for understanding about SOP,

Planning for externally procured products

Hi!
Most of our products are planning strategy 52 (Planning without final assembly). We are considering changing some of our products to be externally procured, however the business wants the planning logic to stay the same - do not order unless there is a sales order.
Any ideas ???
THANKS !!
Dianne

Strategy 20 in my manufactuing plant - no luck because planning strategy 20 is standard MTO.
"The planned orders for the finished products are correctly "non-convetable" if the original warehouse does not have a sales order. " What about tried some strategy like 72? I'm not sure can 72 work for FG but i'm very 72 can work for SFG because i used before. Else you need to check how's the strategy 72 & customize it one by yourself.
"However, they also do not want to order the raw material UNTIL there is a Production Order, not a Planned Order."
This is very easy , you not create the planned order for the purchasing department , until they firm the production order only the purchasing department buy the raw material , but you do need consider the lead time for raw material delivery.
Unless there's huge safty stock to cover.
Hope can close your issue.
Thank you.

Assemble-to-Order with External Procurement

Dear colleagues,
I am trying to figure out how to deliver an assemble-to-order process to my client without having to create planned orders. My client's environment is such that PP is not in place.
The business requires an assembly process, but always with external procurement.
Has anyone come accross an identical requirement and if so, can I please ask for suggestions on what strategy, strategy group should I use?
Thanks and regards
Kikas

Dear All,
Perhaps I did not phrase my question correctly.
Yes, 100% - Assembly is PP. Let me see if I can explain.
The client's process is as follows:
Inquiry - Costing and Pricing - Quotation - Sales Contract - Equipment Commissioning (e.g. server) with warranty and serialisation - Commissioning Complete - Maintenance Contract.
I would like to be able to trigger the "commissioning" from SD - I am not sure how I can go about it:
1) - Assembly with Planned Order (PP) but very limited since PP is not in scope and all materials are externally purchased;
Is it possible to use a planned order with externally purchased materials only? If so what would be the process?
2) - "Assembly" with perhaps a PM refurbishment order - PM04.
I have never done this so I am unsure if this is possible; I was hopping to be able to achieve this by creating a new requirement class similar to 203 (assembly static) but assigned to order type PM04 instead of PP04 - do you think this would be possible?
Thanks so much for your help

Purchase Requisition are not getting generated for External Procured Materi

Hello PP Guru,
The is a issue which the client is facing.
The requirement is as follows
There is material which is externally procured.
They do the MRP run by using MDBT.
Now the problem is Planned orders are getiing generated instead of Purchase requisition.
It should always generate PR instead of planned Order.
When the check in ME57 the PR is not reflecting, but when the check in MD16 the planned orders are getting reflected.
Every time they have to convert the Planned order to Purchase Requisition in MD16.
So can you please let me know as to why is this problem.
Thanks & Regards
Nilesh

In the variant which you use in MDBT, modify the value for Create purchase req. to 1. Now if you execute MRP with the new / modified variant system will always trigger PR irrespective of the opening period.
But if you want PR within opening period & outside of it should be planned orders, then maintain 2.

Price valuation with standard price in case of external procurement

Dear All,
I have the following scenario with my client.
All the materials will be valuated with price control S, whether procurement type is E or F. We don't have any problem if procurement type is E. But where as if procurement type is F and price control indicator is S, the system calculating the moving average price and as well as standard price is also updating for some materials. For some materials there are not moving average prices.
1. Can any one tell me when SAP calculates both moving average price and standard price? is there any setting to be done.(procurement type F and price control S)
2. there are differences between moving average price and standard price, ofcourse there may be a difference, but in some cases the difference is more and higher than the standard price, this may cause financial loss to the company. How can solve this.
full marks will be awarded.
thanks & regards,
Ramesh Balivada

Hi
Moving average is updated for External purchases although price control is standard price in all cases where there are movements in materials i.e., when they are purchases...
Check for the materials where there are no updation of moving average and externally procured materials, there might not be any purchases..
There would be no losses as even though it is calculating mov avg price, the stock, consumption is calculated with std price only.
Check both the cases where there are std prices and check for cases where there are both prices getting updated.

Question about external displays.

Just curious about external display use with the macbook.
I want to link up using DVI to DVI but I recently read that my external display will only show the same as the macbook display, and that i cant use the macbook display, and the external display as two seperate screens? but i read its possible to do on the macbook pro. Is this correct?

I don't normally use my macbook with my primary display, but I have tried it out.
I hooked it up via vga, rather than dvi though.
It worked fine, but defaulted to mirrored. There is an option in the settings to disable mirroring, and use the macbook as the primary and the external as the secondary.
I haven't found any way to swap them, and have the macbook as the secondary display.
The management of the screens was pretty cool though. You can drag and drop the screens so their relative position is set up how you want it (over/under, left/right, etc).
hope that this helps...

Set up std. price for proc.type F parts (External Procurement)

Experts,
what is the comon way to set up Std. price for materials with Proc.Type F (External procurement). Current I am using KKPAN and set cost out of PIR and material burden as seperate line.
Looking for a way to have the material burden as fixed value in the system which I can use as base for calculation.
Thanks in advance
Jörg

Dear ,
For any FG material you should have Standard Price (S) in Cost2 view getting updated thrugh CK24 after ck11n done during production process .
For any Externally procured item , you should have MAP or Planned price with Valdidty .Generally duing planned cost estimaiton , planned price will be considered while you will do good issue agianst production order , systm will consider the MAP to calcualte the cost of the material .
Now to update the price you should carry out MR21 with new price for company code , validdity date , price control indicator and valution variant .
Generally in project scinario , you can use MAP for FG material .

Procurement profile canont be changed

Hi SRM gurus,
We are working on a PDP scenario where the PR is transfered from R/3 to EBP as shopping cart through the standard BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER and we are getting the following error :
"Procurement profile cannot be changed " Message no. 6Q 204.
we are not able to transfer PR to SRM because of this error.
Our SRM is 5.0 and our backend is ECC 6.0 which was upgraded from 4.7 recently.
Could there be any config missing?
The idoc shows green though in R/3
Any suggestions.
Best regards,
Sridhar.

this message is thrown from the R/3 System and not from the SRM System.
please have a look at the function module
BBP_EPROFILE_REQ_CHANGE in the R/3 System..
this is the place where the above mentioned error message is handled.

Kanban - External procurement with multiple vendor

Hi Gurus,
We are working on implementation of Kanban for external procurement (Scheduling agreement) in my organisation. As per the business requirement, some of the components are supplied by more than one vendor. As per the standard process, Kanban supports automated processfor single vendor only & not multiple vendors
Has anybody come across this issue? Could you plese share your experiene & any possible workaround or solution to this isuue
Thanks
Kariya

Hi,
This is how KANBAN works. Since sourcing is automatic.
You could do a couple of things; first, have more than one control cycle, one for each vendor. Drawback is that you also need to have separate kanban containers for each cycle/vendor. But in the case where you have more that one supply area for a material this is not so bad.
Another way could be working with internal demand area, in such a way that Kanban creates a stock transfer reservation. Then you need to process the requirements with MRP, and issue orders to multiple vendors (maybe using quota arrangement).
To ilustrate the solution: your supply area is geting replenishment from the main warehouse, not directly from the vendor. These are two different storage location or plants...

MRP Net Requirements calculation in External procurement Vs STO

Hi gurus,
Lets say I have a FG 1234 which has raw component 9999.
Case1:
Setting for 9999 is externally procured.
I have a stock of 50 pc for 9999.
I got order for 60 pc for FG 1234.
so system will only create purchase reks for 10 pc of 9999 as it already sees 50 pc in stock.
Case 2:
Setting for 9999 is externally procured but from one of our own plant (Using SPK 40)
I have a stock of 50 pc for 9999.
I got order for 60 pc for FG 1234.
will system create STR for 10 pc of 9999 as it already sees 50 pc in stock? or will it create STR for 60 pc without checking stock in the ordering plant?

dorian661 wrote:
SPK 70 will not create an STR. Stock of 9999 will be checked in supplying plant. In case there is a shortage, a procurement proposal will be created against the dependent requirement here. Stock is not checked in ordering plant. You will notice that dependent requirements for 9999 will be seen in the supplying plant.
Dorian,
Thanks for the reply. so are you saying that in SPK70
In ordering plant - MRP will not look at the stock situation for that material
In supplying plant - system will check stock requirement and create dependent requirement for the shortage amount
and in spk70 case, against what element is the delivery done to the ordering plant? in spk40 delivery is done against STO.
Thx
