Advantages of Service Master and service acceptance sheet

Hi,
I want to know the Pros and cons of Service master and service acceptance sheet for preparing a document.
Pl give me your views on this.
Regards,
R. Dillibabu.

Dear Dillibabu,
When you create a service master you avoid repetetive data entry efforts as again and again you do not require keying in the same text for services which can be volumunous. Also you have the option to group the services using the service/material group which can be done in service master. Also you have the option to assign valuation class in the service master for account determination purpose.
When you do the service entry it is just like the Goods receipt even in the back ground a material document is create with movement type 101 which you can see in the PO history. The biggest advantage of using the service entry is the financial implication. When service entry is done A g/l account for ex service account is debited and GR/IR is credited. Which is then cleared at Invoice posting and liability created towards vendor.
If you do not do a service entry you will have to track these manually as to services of what value is performed and inform to finance.
I hope this helps.
Thanks and regards,
Siddharth

  • SERVICE  PO using service master and service PO using Material Type DIEN

    Dear Gurus can you differenciate between SERVICE  PO using service master and service PO using Material Type DIEN ?
    Regards
    Vinod Suresh Kakade

    Hi,
    Material type DIEN is used for when you offer "SERVICE" to your customer.
    When you are procuring "SERVICE" from your vendor, you can use external service management where service master is used (Steps are PO created in ME21N with Item Cat. "D" with Acc. ***. Cat. "K" or "C", ML81N, MIRO & F-53).
    In Standard DIEN material type designed for Sales usage only, but you can use DIEN for Purchase also to avoid External Services Management.

    Hi
    Using Service masters is mainly for reporting and good use of Service Masters.
    You can later run reports to show you how much you spend on a certain service.

  • Service PO and Service Entry Sheets Question

    Hi Guru,
    I need some advice on the following questions in service PO and service entry sheets.
    1) How can i change the default unit of measure in service PO? where is this in customizing?
    2) How can i turn off the message "No message record could
    be found for output of message.Save anyway?" when i try to accept a service entry sheet entry?
    3)Can someone share with me the business process for service PO?
    Is it a must to do MIRO against the service entry sheet? How does the the person who is performing the MIRO transaction knows the service entry sheet number?
    Thanks.
    Zhulk

    HI,
    Following are answers to some of your questions -
    1) What do you mean by default unit measure? If this is the unit of Service, then you may change this in Service Master (T Code AC03). If the unit is at line item, then it should be AU, because you may order multiple services under one line each having different units of measure.
    2) The message "No message record could be found for output of message. Save anyway?" is displayed because, you have not maintained output message for service entry sheet. Either define the output or remove the warning message at Attributes of system messages.
    3) The process of service PO is same as material PO. The difference is that the item category for service PO is 'D' & then you maitain services for the line item either with or without service master. After completion of service, you create service entry sheet at transaction code ML81N & after accepting the service entry sheet, service entry sheet based GRN is prepared. The person who is posting MIRO is not required to know Service Entry Sheet number to post MIRO. The system automatically checks the service entry sheets accepted. Anyway, the service entry sheet number can be displayed at Purchase Order History tab of the conccerned PO at PO display option (T Code ME23N).
    Hope your query is fulfilled.
    Reward points if the answer is helpful.

  • Pricing procedure for Service PO and Service Entry Sheet

    Hi
    Can the same pricing procedure be used for Service PO and Service Entry Sheet? What is the purpose of creating a seperate pricing procedure for service entry sheet?
    Regards
    Soumen

    There is no separate pricing procedure for Service Entry Sheet.  Whatever the schema is determined in Service PO, the price is calcuated during service entry sheet.  However you can maintain separate calculation schema for service purchase orders. 
    This schema will be determined based on the schema group assigned in Vendor Master.

  • Service PO and Service pricing procedure

    Hello,
    1 Can any one explain how pricing procedure is defined while creating service PO and how service taxes are captured in po
    2. Senario-The company wants to send a machine for repairing to a vendor. A work order is created and the machine is sent to vendor.
    The vendor will be using few components during repairing service.Payment terms-20 % advance ,40% after first inspection, 30% during delivery and final 10% after" FIT" certificate .
    Can any one please help me how to map the scenario nos 2 in SAP.
    Regards
    Manash

    Hi,
    You can have one  pricing procedure for standard PO & service PO or you can have two pricing procedure separately BUT you should have two separate document type standard PO &  service PO. 
    You can create a condition type(Cond. Class B, Calculat.type C ,Cond.category H & select Scale basis as quantity in Scales segment)  for service master/ activity type & then add/enter  condition type in  pricing procedure for service master  and also add  a routine"11" in Requirement column for service master condition type.
    To capture service tax for service PO, you should have a service tax condition type with a accounting key in tax procedure. Create a service tax code in FTXP, maintain condition record for service tax with service tax condition type in FV11 & you should have a G/L account assigned for service tax with accounting key in OB40.
    For 2nd-Senario
    You should send material to Sub-contract vendor with 541 movement type & receive it after repaired from vendor with 542 movement type. For paying of SERVICE RELATED cost, you can create a service order & pay to vendor WRT service order. For  payment terms-20 % advance ,40% after first inspection, 30% during delivery and final 10% after" FIT" certificate , You can create payment term in OME2 and pay accordingly. OR you can have a thought of creating three service entry sheet with respect to service order & do MIRO with respected to individual service entry sheet, once the work performed and then pay to the vendor  in three segments.

  • Responsible Service Org and Service Team (partner function)

    Hi all CRM gurus,
    I'm trying to understand the reasons behind the following design and I hope someone can clarify some points for me:
    1. Organisation structure in CRM is set up with service organisation followed by service team, e.g.
    ABC Company
    |_Call Center 1 (the service organisation indicator under Function is selected)
      |_ Region A
                       |_ Service Team A (the local service team indicator under Function is selected)
                                     |_ User Nancy
    |_Call Center 2 (the service organisation indicator under Function is selected)
      |_ Region B (the service organisation indicator under Function is selected)
                       |_Service Team B (the local service team indicator under Function is selected)
                                     |_ User Mary
    2. Organisation determination is set up using rule 14000148 and assigned to the transaction type Z001 for interaction transaction.
    3. A service team partner function is created and set up to be determined automatically via the user's assignment in the org structure (14000148). This partner is configured to be made available on the interaction record screen.
    4. When a new interaction is created by user Nancy, the system automatically derives the following
    Responsible service org = 'Service Team A'
    Service organisation = 'Call Center 1'
    Service team partner = 'Service Team A'
    5. When user Nancy decides that this call should be looked after by another group, she assigns the user Mary and changes the Service team partner to 'Service Team B'. The reason why she has to change the service team partner manually is that the system does not automatically re-determine the partner in change mode.
    What I can see is that the focus here is on the service team (which is the partner) and there is no means to update the service organisation and responsible service organisation. So, when the user is changed to Mary, although the service team is captured correctly, the corresponding responsible service organisation (i.e. Service Team B) and service organisation (i.e. call center 1) still remains the same. Is this acceptable?
    I would think that the responsible service organisation and service organisation needs to be re-determined but this is not the case.
    Are there any reasons why one would not re-determine the responsible service and service organisations?
    The service team (partner) and the responsible service and service orgs seem to be handled quite independently which is another area that I don't understand. What is the benefit of having a service team partner?
    I have not seen a lot of queries in this area so am not sure whether my thinking is correct or not.
    Appreciate some pointers on the above.
    Cheers!

    2. service master records to be used while procuring services with item category D, and service master numbers to be entered at service line item level. Same like materials, details like unit, description, service groups, valuation claas needs to be maintained while creation of service master.
    4. standard reports are available in SAP to track the services procured based on the service master number.
    3 yes. service master data can be used in SRm, all of them can be used.

  • Pricing date for Service Order and Service Confirmation

    Hi,
    I cretated a Service Confirmation as followup for Service Order.
    Client is asking "Pricing Date" should be same Same in Service Order and Service Confirmation. But, I am not seeing any such field in the screen.
    I need to check T&C field and Zone field. But, I am not seeing these fields also.
    Can you please let me know, where can I find this fields. (In which assignment block).
    Thanks,
    Sandeep
    Edited by: Sandeep Reddy on May 31, 2010 7:21 PM

    Hi,
    I think by PRICING DATE they mean BILLING DATE.
    In date profile of SERVICE ORDER and SERVICE CONFIRMATION you assign the BILLING DATE date type (i think it is there in the standard itself- however just ensure it).
    Or customize a PRINCING DATE date type in the DATE PROFILE of SERVICE ORDER and CONFIRMATION and copy the date set in SERVICE ORDER to SERVICE CONFIRMATION.
    This is one strategy you can use.

  • Service prod in service contract and service order thro RRB!

    Hi,
    I have service contract with service product say Rep_service with 1 Hr rate as 100 USD in place for a particular equipment with serial number.
    I have received a complaint now I am raising a service order SM01 service order with contract
    I have maintained the same equipment number in the Service order as in service contract
    and selected the service contract too.
    i have operations and material consumption for service order.
    When I run  DP90 RRB the material determined is Service (different service product) based on my DIP profile, (should I maintain the same service product in DIP profile as in service contract or any other service prod can be maintained). What happens to this billing document generated from DP90?
    And my service order settles to service contract.
    I think when service contract is in place then to generate billing I will use only service contract as reference.
    Please suggest me how to go about it.
    Kindly if possible give me some link to documents.
    Regards,
    N.Nagaraju

    Hi Nagaraju,
    First of all, you can bill Service Contract and Service Order differently. This is because you may wish to charge contract fees irrespective of whether service occurs or not.
    Secondly, while maintaining DIP profile, you can use different material from the one used in contract. Just make sure that it gives explanation as to what service was performed so that customer will understand the invoice.
    DP90 will generate Debit memo request. You will need to create billing document against this using VF01.
    When you settle the service order (KO88), it will be settled against service contract.
    Please let me know if you need any further information.
    Regards,
    Aaditya.

    Then you can go to your sandbox SPRO and try the configuration.
    For note question, I am not sure whether I understand it correctly. If you want to automatically create MR from the note that you put in notification. There is not configuration for that. you need an enhancement.

    Hi,
    I think the first agreement document is EULA (end user license agreement). The second is your request.
    I think you can ask the sample of the agreement to SAP branch in your country. if not, let me know your e-mail.

  • Difference between Service order and service contract

    Hi
    Can any one plz differenciate the service contract and service order??
    why only service contract products can carry object list entries and why not service products??
    Thanks in advance.Appriciated with points.
    Regards,
    Nagi Reddy

    Service Order:
    A service order is a short-term agreement between service provider and service recipient, in which one-time services are ordered by the service recipient and resource-related billing performed upon completion. Such an order could be, for example, to maintain or repair some equipment, making it necessary to send a technician along with spare parts. These services are usually billed.
    Service Contracts:
    Service contracts are outline agreements with business partners which define services offered for a particular period. You support service contracts by processing contract-based and planned services.
    Service contracts represent long-term service agreements with customers in relation to the content and scope of services guaranteed within specific tolerance limits for certain parameters, for example, within a predefined timeframe.
    I hope this helps
