Auto Firming Purchase Reqs.

Hi Gurus,
I am doing an MRP run and within the Planning Horizon i am getting a Purchase Requsitions created outside of it there is a planned order getting created.
In the Master Data i have the Planning Time Fence and MRP Type P1 , but i dont see the Purchase Requisition being firmed automatically , is it possible for some one of you throw some light on it.
Thanks
Balaji

Hello Jurgen,
Please can you help me in one more functionality. I am uploading the Planned Independent requirements on a Monthly bucket into the MD62 transaction. But i need it to be splitted into Weekly buckets uniformly , i know if we go to the schedule line tab and select the splitting indicator option and enter it as Week ( W) it splits up equally. But this approach can be done if its only one to 10 material.
How can i get it covert 1000 materials which are loaded into the monthly buckets into a Weekly buckets in click. Is there is any Master Data which can help in doing that. The Splitting Indicator in the MRP view will help to do this ? pleasecan you give ur expert advise.
Thanks
Balaji

Question: how to move purchase req without firming

Hi SAP folks,
I've overcome this purchase req that is always showing after MPS run even the actual coverage is not so close to target (i.e. actual coverage=160, target coverage=30), i just want to know if there are possibilities that a purchase req can move in another date without firming it? i've tried removing PIRs but they still show up in the same period. Deleting it also not help as it again generated after closing.
Thanks and waiting for all your replies

Hi,
Not sure what you're trying to achieve as the question is not quite clear, but based on what i understand, a procurement proposal is generated by mrp / mps run when the available stock is not able to meet the demand.
If the need date shifts to a later date, the mrp / mps run will automatically reschedule the procurement proposal to a later date if the same is not firmed. So from your side ensure that the PR is not firmed, then system will automatically reschedule the proposals.
A PR will be firmed if you manually edit it or manually create it or if MRP / MPS run firms the PR when it falls within the planning time fence.
Hope the above clarifies your query.

Vivek

Regarding rescheduling of purchase req.

Hi All,
For raw materials I have maintained safety lead time in the material master and I conduct MRP run. System create the purchase requisitions after MRP run. When I check the requirements in MD04 for the raw material, system show me rescheduled date.
But it doesnot mean that system has rescheduled purchase req.
Is there any transaction, so that I can reschedule the purchase req. ?
Regards,
Mahesh

Hi,
Do you notice a star indicator next to the PR, if yes it means a firming of the PR has taken place. This firming can be due to manual modification or due to the PR falling in planning fence and an automatic firming.
MRP does not make changes to firmed proposals. So just close this PR & re-run MRP & system will generate an unfirmed PR. The MRP run will schedule the proposal on the need date.
Hope it clarifies.

Vivek

Automatic Purchase req to Purchase order

Hi All,
I need to convert purchase req to purchase order using ME59. I have maintained all the settings. what happens for the following, if there is a customized doc type for PR and to what PO doc type does the PO get created ?
Can the PO create to customized PO doc type??

Hi:
For auto PO creation (Transaction ME59) for "Z" PR document type,you need to assign "Z" PR document type to standard PO document type or the PO document type you have configured.
For auto PO creation, PO document type would be selected based on the settings configured in:
SPRO> Materials Management> Purchasing> Purchase Order> Define document types.
Here, Assign standard or configured PO document type to customized "z" PR document type by selecting the PO document type and mention your PR document type in the screen- Link Purchase Requisition Document Type.
Hope you must have set all auto PO creation criterion in master data too.
Hope this would helps you.
Cheers

Planning Time Fence and Rescheduling Purchase Req

How to Process the MD04 exception u201C30 Plan Process According to Scheduleu201D for Purchase Req.
Please provide me a Step by step procedure with example to Reschedule the Purchase Req with given rescheduling date.
*Really I am confused with PLANNING TIME FENCE.
What it does with Planned Order and Purchase Req ?
Based on the some of threads in SDN, I couldnu2019t come to the conclusion of the terminology behind PTF.
So could you please provide me an explanation with example will make clear idea on PTF.
Thanks in Advance.

dear friend,
as far as i know, all planned orders that lie in the planning time fence are firmed. that means that they can no longer be changed automatically by the system in the planning run in long-term planning.
outside the planning time fence, the system creates order proposals as usual according to the shortage quantity and the lot-sizing procedure. once these planned orders move into the planning time fence, they are automatically firmed depending on the how you have set the firming type.
the planning time fence can be defined per material in the material master record or via the MRP group.

Purchase req details from ECC to SNC

hi All,
Any standard IDOC or FM to send the Purchase req details from ECC to SNC system.
any pointers will be highly appreciated.
thanks

Hi SanKumar
The purchase requisitions can be sent to SNC using the standard report RSMIPROACT for Dynamic Replenishment Scenario.
The Purchase requistions are sent as a part of Customer firm net requirements.
In the screen Transfer Stocks and Requirements to SAP ICH/SNC
Set the Tab to Dynamic Replenishment.
Then input the Plant,MRP Area, Material and Target System.
Select the data to be sent(only for DR)
Duely check the Purchase Requisition.
Then the data can be seen in webui under Demand -
Order Forecast Monitor.--Overview/Details
Thanks

How to Change attachment URL on a Purchase Req?

Attachments in the EBP shopping carts are transferred to an ITS server and are linked to a back end R/3 Purchase Requisition.
Note that the attachments are physically stored on ITS server and the link (URL) to the attachment and Purchase Req is stored in SAP.
As a part of decommissioning, the server which was used for storing attachments is replaced with a new server and all the attachments are moved to new server.
Since the link associated to the Purchase Req and attachment is not changed, when user is trying to open the Purchase Req attachment, it is not displaying becuase all the attachments are moved to new server.
How to change the link (URL) in the Purchase Req so that it will point out to the new server instead of old server.
Due to the following reasons manually changing the URL is not advisable.
1) 40,000 attachments link need to be changed.
2) System is not allowing to change the URL manually because of the user differences. All the attachment links are attached to Purchase Reqs by RFC user (since these are transferred from EBP environment).
Please advise what should be the feasible solution to change the URL (link) on the Purchase Req so that business can open the attachment with no issues.
Thanks in advance

According to SAP, since purchase order is a legal document they do not support the process of changing document number. They suggested I do the change with debug and replace at my own risk. In ME22N go to debug and type MEPO_TOPLINE-BEDAT. The values for this field show up as 29991231 that should be changed to 20191231 and press F8, then save the purchase order.

Goods recipient field not available when creating a service purchase req

We are trying to create a release strategy for purchase requisitions with acount assignments K, F and P. The release strategy would use the requisitioner and goods recipient fields to determine the release group. The issue is when creating a purchase req with item category D for any account assignment, the recipient field cannot be populated. It is greyed out. I tried setting the field as mandatory in the IMG at the account assignment level but it doesn't prompt me for a recipient if item category D is entered. Is there a way to allow this field to be populated? I don't care if the value is transferred to the purchase order but I need it populated to determine the appropriate release strategy. We are not using workflow so that is not an option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Srinivas, I appreciate the response but the requisitioner field is not the problem. I can set that field to mandatory. The issue is I cannot populate the recipient field that's located on the account assignment tab of the purchase req. The recipient field can be populated if the item category field is blank but as soon as I populate the item category with D for service, the recipient field is unavailable. Is there a way to populate this field when the item category is D?

Unfirmed purchase reqs not getting cancelled in the background MRP run

Good morning,
The system has created Purchase requisitions for 2010 due to the setting in the MRP run. we want to change it to planned orders outside the Vendor lead time and when i run a REGEN MRP with setting 2 (Purchase requisitions in opening period) its not happening. When i run indivudual MRP with MD03 with the same setting its alright, purchase requisitions are deleted and its converted into Planned orders. Can anyone please throw some light on to make backgrouond MRP run delete the Purchase requisition and create planned orders.

Jags,
You must delete the offensive PRs first. Regardless of the MRP settings, MRP will still decide that the PRs are valid and will leave them alone. It will not 'change' them into planned orders.
Run Regenerative MRP with your new settings (Create purchase reqs as '2') but also run your MRP in planning mode '3', delete and recreate planning data. It will delete all existing unfixed purchase requisitions, and then run MRP.

Automatic Downloads and Strange Error Message: "You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days"

Hi gang-
Yesterday I noticed that iTunes on my iMac had not auto-downloaded several new songs that I had recently purchased on my iPhone.    In iTunes Preferences, under Store -> Automatic Downloads, I always have Music selected so all songs purchased from any device using my Apple ID normally download automatically.
To troubleshoot this, I double-checked my Preferences and sure enough, Music was de-selected under Automatic Downloads.   I then Selected it and clicked OK.   Here's where it gets weird and I get this error message:
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 84 days.
I read and re-read this message and none of it seems to apply to me.   I have only one Apple ID.   I am currently logged in with iTunes to that one Apple ID.   All my iTunes Music ever has been purchased with that one Apple ID.   I am not trying to associate this computer or any other with a different Apple ID.
I logged iTunes out and then back in again and tried all the above- but same error message.
So, as it is now, I am unable to turn on Automatic Downloads in iTunes.
Anyone know what the heck is going on?
Thanks!
Dave

Hey gang-
Okay, this gets more and more bizarre.   I sent a support email to Apple and basically they said "...it seems that someone else associated your Mac with their Apple ID. That's the reason your purchases won't download."
Yikes!   My wife and I live alone- and we have exactly one and only one Apple ID.    Would somebody have needed physical access to my iMac to do that?
Support then said "You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer."
Okay- so I logged into My Account in iTunes.   On the list of associated devices, my own iMac is NOT on that list.   But I am logged in under the same Apple ID I've had for years on that iMac.
So my big question right now is...if my iMac (that I've owned for 5 years) has somehow been dis-associated from my Apple ID, how do I find out what Apple ID it is associated with?
Thanks gang for trying to help me unravel a mystery.
Dave
PS- Here's an Apple Tech article on iTunes associations, but it doesn't really go beyond what we've discussed above:

MRP run and creation of one cumulative purchase req

Hello,
mrp run is creating a lot of single purchase reqs with one line (quantity and dates are fine)
but how to set up MRP so that instead of multiple purchase reqs ONE purchase req with many lines is created.
Thanks, Sebastian

this is not forseen in the design.
Where would be the benefit? have a look into table EBAN.
There would not be one record less with this concept.
Further, in bigger organizations, several buyers would then work with the same purchase requisition, which could lead to lock and update problems.

MM Workflow - Purchase Req Release

Hi,
I have set-up MM Workflow to notify a user to release outstanding reqs. I used BUS2105/TS20000159 This works as expected. However the business want a summary of the req details to appear in the message. The standard message has no description. It just shows the Purchase Req No in the Subject Line.
I was hoping to call BUS2105 ->Method->PurchaseRequisition.GetDetail1. This calls BAPI: BAPI_PR_GETDETAIL and would give me the details I require. I would then populate this data in the body of the message.
I am pretty new to Work Flow and was hoping you could guide me in the steps required to achieve this please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Phil

Hi,
Firstly create a workflow container element of type as key parameter in the business object
1 .Create a step in the workflow
2. Create a task in the workflow
3. Assign the businees object in the task..
4. Create a container element in the task
5. Create binding between the TASK and METHOD of business object
6. Create binding between Workflow container element and Task Container element.
7. Then in Basic data of workflow ( HAT ICON) go to start events and assign the business object
and the event which has to trigger the workflow.
8. Create a step called mail so as to know whether it has triggered the workflow when the Business
object had triggered.
or
Switch on the event trace (SWELS) and check the event trace SWEL... if the workflow is triggered you would find reciever as workflow..
If you still have to view graphically the goto
Tutorials> Business Workflow> and see the topic how to create activity step in the workflow.
Hope this would help you.
