Approve suppliers only for specific material groups

Dear Experts,
Current scenario: Our purchasers can buy products from all material groups from every boarded supplier. E.g. they can buy production materials from an office paper supplier.
Target scenario: The moment a purchaser buys a material that's not part of the approved material group of that specific supplier, he get's an error.
What is a practical way to achieve this?
Thanks a lot,
Steffen

Normally we maintain Source lists,  which restrict the list of vendors from whom certain materials can be purchased. 
Sometimes you can also create a Material group level contract, and then in the PO  specify the materials from that specific material group.
but ideally you should go for source list, as it is the simplest and standard way to control approved suppliers for materials.  I know its not at material group level , but still its the best option.
Last case, you can go for a development  , use the BADI ME PO PROCESS CUST i think it is.

  • PO Qty in SKU configuration for specific Material Group in PO

    Dear All,
    I face issue when I do MIGO, which is that unit measure KG can not covert to stockunitstock unit measure PC.
    After I checking, I found the following information in tab Qualities/Weights of PO:
    PO Quantity                     2 PC     Order Unit <-> Ord. Price Unit        PC  <->         KG
    PO Qty in SKU               0.000        Order Unit <-> SKU             0      PC  <-> 0
    What I can configure is "Order Unit <-> Ord. Price Unit        PC  <->         KG", but I can not conifgure "Order Unit <-> SKU" for PO to buy material group rather than sepcific material.
    Could anybody can tell me how to configure "PO Qty in SKU               0.000        Order Unit <-> SKU             0      PC  <-> 0" for PO to buy material group in ME21N?
    I am looking forward to your kind suggestion, which is really appreciated!
    Cheers!

    Does anyone face the same issue before? could you give me any tips if you have such problem? thanks in advance!

  • Report showing vendors for particular material groups

    I am trying to perform an analysis to determine vendors which have procured items for specific material groups.  I have 64 different material groups which represent indirect materials and I want to be able to determine what vendors have been procuring these materials.  I have run transaction ME2C to examine purchasing documents, however there is way too much information and the system cannot generate the list.
    I was curious if there was some aggregate report that I could use in the Logistics Information System.  I know the Purchasing Information System has Standard Analysis for Material Groups, however I have to drill down to each Material Group and change the breakdown by Vendor to get the list and this can be somewhat time consuming considering I will have to do this 64 times.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Don

    use transaction MC$<
    execute the selection
    in the report choose from menu settings > characteristics display
    and select either Key or Key and description
    then choose from menu  Material group analysis > Export > transfer to XXL

  • Duty calculation for import PO for a specific material group

    Hi All,
    As per company requirement, we need to do changes in duty calculation for import PO for a specific material group.
    Current scenario :  Currently  duty calculating on MRP with abatement  35% ( We have ABTT condition @ 35% of MRP).
    For example:
    Material: ABC , Basic Price = 1000, MRP = 2000 and duty is 10%
    Duty  Amt = 2000(MRP) - 700(35% ABTT) *10%(Duty) = 130
    Cess 2 % = 2.6
    Ecess 1 % = 1.3
    Total duty =  133.9
    This duty (133.9) paid to custom vendor and loads in material cost.
    New Requirement:  For vendor payment purpose duty should be calculate as above but  for material cost should be calculated on Basic price.
    For Example:    
    Material: ABC , Basic Price = 1000, MRP = 2000 and duty is 10%
    Duty  Amt = 1000(BP) *10%(Duty) = 100
    Cess 2 % = 2
    Ecess 1 % = 1
    Total duty =  103 ( It should load in Material cost)
    New Condition Diff Duty Amt = (1300-1000)*10% = 30
    Cess 2 % = .6
    Ecess 1 % = .3
    Diff Duty Amt = 30.9 ( It should not be added in material Cost)
    Paid to custom vendor = 103 + 30.9 = 133.9
    Kindly suggest how to achieve this.
    Regards
    Jitendra

    Hi,
       Please check whether the requirement is logical or not.  Did you check the requirement with your accounts team?
       If you have different duty calculation for MIGO and MIRO, how the GL accounts will get balanced? As of my understanding, the requirement is clearly not logical.

  • Showing Sub-Totals only for Specific Column in PowerView

    Hi,
    Is there a way of showing the sub-totals only for specific columns in a PowerView Matrix?
    I am only aware of showing the sub-totals for all or non of the columns.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Justin

    Hi Justin,
    According to your description, you want to get sub-totals specific columns within columns group. Right?
    In this scenario, we can use IIF() function in expression to achieve your goal. The expression will only return the total value when the column value is a specific value, otherwise we can make it return nothing. Try the following expression:
    IIF(Fields!Column.Value="[specific value]",Sum(Fields!Total.Value),nothing)
    We have tested this scenario in our local environment. Here are screenshots for your reference:

  • Cellular data only for specific apps

    Is there a way by which i can enable cellular data only for specific apps? Lets suppose i want only mail and viber to run on cellular. So how do i enable cellular network only for viber and mail

    Hello all,
    I have been using the iPhone 4S for about a year and I never had problems untill a few days back. Since about a week, my 3G settings for applications installed automatically reset.
    Path >> iPhone screen >> Settings >> Mobile(Cellular) >> Use Mobile Data For >> "List of all apps installed"
    Against each application, you have an option to either enable / disable the mobile data usage:
    Eg:
    App Store          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    Contacts          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    Facebook          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    Facetime          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    Weather          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    You Tube          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
    etc...
    Problem:
    If I don't want You Tube to use mobile data, I would normally swipe left to disable thus the application will not start / stream any music if its on 3G/4G. Since a few days, whenever I disable the option for any app... go back to the main screen and recheck the settings, I see its enabled again!
    The error I see when I start the app is:
    MOBILE DATA IS TURNED OFF FOR "YOU TUBE"
    You can turn on mobile data for this app in settings
    <Settings>     <OK>
    When I go back to settings... I see the option is enabled.
    Now I dont know what and how this happened all of a sudden. I have tried resetting the network settings for my iPhone, and it has not helped me.
    My iPhone is updated to OS 7.0.4 and all apps are updated.
    Anyone can help me on this error and how do I fix this?
    FYI... I have no problems connecting to WiFi at all!

  • Using manual IP address only for specific networks

    For my home network I use DHCP with manual address because I have to forward some ports specifically to my computer. However this causes problems when connecting to other networks. For some reason this setting stays active even when using other networks. Therefore, I can't connect to say my school network because the setting has to be set to plain DHCP. Is there a way to use manual IP address only for specific networks?

    System Preferences > Network > Locations and add a location for your home with its manual settings. Add a location for other DHCP locations. Then when you want to connect at another DHCP location select that location from your locations dropdown.

    As I said you can use where SMS ID like %1 and see how many machines that gets you. If it's not enough do where SMS ID like %1 or SMS ID like %2. Keep adding a digit until you get ~5000. It won't be perfect though.

    Hi,
      This can be achieved using enhancements in SAP, which could be customer-Exits or BAdi implementations. I think this can be achieved using enhancement(Customer-Exit) MM06E005(Tcode-SMOD) function module EXIT_SAPMM06E_012.Here you have import parameter I_EKKO which will have purchase org and tables TEKPO which will ahve all lines so youc an add a custom check to validate materail based on purchase org.

  • PO Release Strategy - Only for non material based

    Experts,
    I have a requirement to implement a release strategy for a single plant for POs for NON material based purchases ( only for using account assignments, cost centers etc).
    The release strategy I configured is working only for the specific plant I want... However, it works whether its a material based PO or a non material based PO.
    How do i get the strategy to work for only the service based purchases, and not the material ones?

    Thanks for the replies but I'm not sure if they are applicable...
    I did create a characterstic for item categories and added the one's I wanted to have... I did NOT include a blank because i thought that would make the difference between the material based PO and non PO. When we I create Po with material (even with no account assignment) it still goes through release.
    Any reason why that is?
    I dont believe the material group solution will not work either because we require material group for material and non material based POs..
    Side note - when i try to use CEKKO with KTTNP, i get a "KTTNP does not exist error." So i used EKPO - KTTNP... hopefully thats ok, but please let me know if its not.

  • Approve supplier registration for a category

    Dear Expert,
    We are working with the supplier registration at the SRM 05.
    Is there a way to approve suppliers and change it status from "new" to "approve" for a Specific category?
    Thank's,
    Yaron.

    Hi Yaron,
    You can accept the supplier as a whole, not for 1 specific category.
    However to achieve your objective you could enter the approved category in business partner tab (category), so that you know for which category the supplier is accepted.

  • Disable internet access only for specific time with GPO?

    I need to be able to disable web browsing during specific times (night shift for example). I know I can create a GPO policy and set a 'fake proxy' for IE that would blanket kill browsing but I don't want to have that enabled 24/7. Is there any way to do only from like 5pm - 5am.
    Or is there a better way to do this? I know I could setup a Squid Server and set time limits through there. Was just curious if it could be done through AD.
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Ok, I just thought of a way to do it with GPO.Create the gpo to setup the fake proxy setting and also lock out the proxy setting to keep the users from disabling the setting.Setup targeted application of the GPO based on a specific AD group. Depending on if you setup the GPO policy under computer or user you can add either user names to this AD group or add computer names to this group (you could also create a nested group so you are only adding and removing one name from the targeted GPO group). Setup the task scheduler to add and remove names to this gpo application group based on time of day. Understand there will be a delay of up to 2 hours between the time the user is added to this group and the application of the GPO to the target computer. It would appear a bit clunky, but it should work.The squid route would be a bit more...
