Authorization Of Purchase Documents

Hi Gurus,
In workflow of Purchase document authorization, one system generated mail is automatically sent to the official mail box of the persons who are releasing the documents.
My question is, can we make in SAP that not only mails are going to those release persons mail box but an SMS to the person's mobile as well regarding a purchase document is waiting for your approval.
Can it be possible in SAP?????????
Regards
PKB

Authorization in Purchasing documents

Hello,
A couple of weeks ago a posted a question about the use of generic reléase codes for managers of different company codes or business áreas.
As I understand the answers, one can use generic reléase codes and restrict the approval with autorization objects like M_BEST_WRK (plant-restricción) so that managers from one plant can not approve the purchasing documents of other plants for which they are not autorized (although they share the same reléase code!)
Nevertheless I still got left with the following doubt:
All the managers with lets say have release code "SM" (Senior managers) in their profile, will be able to see in the ME55 and ME28 the purchasing documents of the other plants (although through restrictions with autorization object M_BEST_WRK will not be able to approve them!)?
This is a situation my client does not want to occur. If the "visibility" of the purchasing documents for approval, is not restricted by autorization object M_BEST_WKR, how can one acomplish this. Does one need to créate a ZME55 or a ZME28 to filter?
Thanks for any reply.

No. (s)he will not able to see these purchase requisitions which has created with a plant but the user is not authorized for the plant.
For Example:
I've two users. One is having only authorization for plant LXK1 and another is having authorization for all plants
I've created two purchase requisitions as 10001514 for plant LX01 and 10001515 for plant LXK1.
When I execute ME55 for the user (who is having authorization for all plants), he can see both preqs.
But when I execute the t-code ME55 from this user (who is having authorization only for plant LXK1)
He can able to see the preq with only for the plant LXK1.

Last price copied from purchasing document

Hello all,
I have business requirements where they would like to hide the price at Purchase Order from buyer. They would like to have this control so that buyer could not change price unnecessarily.
I tried using role to control where I remove ACTVT = 09 (display price) under authorization object M_BEST_BSA. With this ACTVT=09 remove, buyer is not able to see the "Net Price" column anymore.
My problem is when buyer creates Purchase Order with an expired info record.
When buyer creates a Purchase Order with an expired info record, although there is an error "Please enter Net Price" and when buyer keys in the info record, the price somehow is adopted from the last purchasing document and thus, buyer could create a Purchase Order.
I understand that in MM customizing there is an option to set "Do not copy price" which need to be maintain in buyer's profile at "Parameter" tab which we are currently practicing.
However, business has disagree with this option because buyer is still able to delete the parameter maintain in their profile.
Discussed with Basis before to remove authorization from user to maintain user parameter (SU3) however, they also rejected my suggestion.
Thus, I need your help to figure out if there is any other option to solve this issue.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Santthi.

For further clarification the PO is referencing a contract and as such not pulling the pricing information from the info record and instead pulling the price from the conditions on the contract.
I want to change the pricing date category from " No Control" to "5 GR Date" however I'm receiving the error message stated and unsure of how to make this change.
The intent is not to create a new PO each day the condition record is created and instead we are utilizing one PO referencing one contract with multiple date delimited condition records containing the daily pricing.

Maintain plant wise purchase document type

Hi,
I want to know that is there any way where I can able to maintain plant wise purchase document type.
Thanks.

Please make the following settings
Scenario:
Plant 0001 Should create only PO type NB and PR type NB
Plant 0002 Should create only PO type ZNB and PR type ZNB
TCode : OLME
Create new PR type by copying NB (all dependencies): ZNB <<<Separate number range can be used
Create new PO type by copying NB (all dependencies) : ZNB <<< Separate number range can be used
To avoid accidental assignment of (by users)
Remove linkage of NB PO type to ZNB PR type
Remove linkage of ZNB PO type to NB PR type
TCode: OMDT
Assign PR type per plant per MRP Group for MRP generated PR's
Once MRP is run for materials PRs are created as follows plant 0001 type NB and plant 0002 type ZNB, when they run ME57 to create POs from PRs, ZNB PO type will default to PR types ZNB and NB type to NB.
Authorization objects to be changed for each plant respectively (go to SU21 to look up)
Users of Plant 0001 can only create NB type PR and NB type PO
Purchase Order:
M_BEST_BSA   ACTVT=01; BSART=NB;
Purchase Requisition:
M_BANF_BSA   ACTVT=01;BSART= NB;
M_BANF_WRK ACTVT=01;WERKS= 0001 ;
Users of Plant 0002 can only create ZNB type PR and ZNB type PO
Purchase Order:
M_BEST_BSA   ACTVT=01; BSART=ZNB;
Purchase Requisition:
M_BANF_BSA   ACTVT=01;BSART= ZNB;
M_BANF_WRK ACTVT=01;WERKS= 0002 ;
Ofcourse you need to create output message config for each PO type.

User exit MM06E005 - Customer fields in purchasing document

Hi,
I am using user exit MM06E005 - Customer fields in purchasing document to validate the line items in PO and display the value at header level.
My requirement is when the user enters the line items and press enter the validated value should get populated at header level.I had included a tab (customer tab) in that the value should get displayed.
likewise for each and every line items the value should keep on changing.
And
I the field that i had added at header shows the value during the save but once we come out and enter again,it is not displaying the same.
Regards
Manoj

Hi,
Indeed the exit which you have specified MM06E005 comprises the enhancement for customizing fields and screens associated with it. may be you might not have activated the screen associated with the exit. the screen might have been created but missed while activating.

No value in Purchasing Document field in FBL1N Transaction

Hi All,
While executing a report RFITEMAP (Transaction FBL1N), Purchasing Document field is blank while I can see the corresponding Purchasing Document in BSEG table. I have a requirement to show the same in the output. Do we have some settings or ABAP code changes to achieve it?
Any kind of input would be helpful to me.
Rgds,
Khanshi

Hi,
Please read note 152335
You can achieve it via OSS note 112312, but you need to program the BTE as per your business requirements, as stated in the note there is no standard functionality for this.
You may refer to the following wiki page, it has an example, but in the example, another field was used, maybe it can be useful for you.

What happends when you give 2 groups with some of the same members different authorizations for a document

Hello,
I'm doing my internship at a litte Telekom company. I'm investigating how they can use MS SharePoint as their central place to put projectinformation. Now i've been thinking what happends when i do the following:
Make one document library
Add 2 groups to the Active Directory, group "A" with all the employees and group "B" with only four people working on a project. When i add a document to the document library and set the authorizations for the document as
follows:
Group B: Read/Write
Group A: Read
Does the people from group B still be able to edit the document, because they are also in group A?
I don't have a test environment to test this myself.
Why i want to know this? The company want's one place to place all their documents with projectinformation. This information is about different projects. You only wan't that people can change the specific document when they are working on the specific project
where the document belongs to.

You get the union of permissions, so if one group allows access and the other not, you will get the union of both and therefore access. Of course, you can break security settings per library/folder or document, and specify new settings,
if you need too.

Error while creating purchasing documents

Hi,
Iam a new user to Material Management unable to create any Purchasing docments (PR,RFQ,P.o..etc).
As Iam trying to procure a material for stock, selected the Accountassignment as Unknown.
got following two errors
1.Unknown account assignment not defined for use here
2.Source not included in list despite sorce list requirement
pls suggest me something to avoid these errors and create P.Os.
Thanks

Hi,
I got some clue ,
1. As I have specified it is a stock material, It should not ask for any account assignment.
It is asking because I have not updated the material quantity,value updations in IMG settings for the material type
2.The issue was I have checked the source list for plant in the sorce list configuration settings (SPRO> Materials management>Purchasing>Sourcelist>Define source list requirement at plant level)
And I have not maintained the source list.
If you check the above setting, you need to maintain source list for the material
As you specified I have checked the configuration for combination item category-account assignment for item category that was used when creating purchasing document.
for standard itemcategory,unknown account assignment type has been defined.
Now I could able to create P.Os for stock material by updating qty,value updation in material type, and if I don't update this, and use account assingment as unknown I'm getting the saemerror as "unknown account assignment not defind for use here"
pls let me know how to avoid this error, hep me what are the required settings for making a P.O for accountassignment categories
Thanks
