Automatic determination of supply sources

Hi,
Automatic determination of supply sources
During the sourcing process, the system selects all sources of supply that are assigned to the product category of a contract item or a supplier list entry. If no source of supply can be selected from the product category, the next superordinate product category level in the product category hierarchy is used.
Can somebody throw some light on last statement:
"If no source of supply can be selected from the product category, the next superordinate product category level in the product category hierarchy is used."
Thanks And Regards,
KK.

KK. Please clarify again.
do you have hierarchy contracts or you uploaded locally a product category hierarchy in srm server ?
always system assign appropriate product category w.r.t sc free text item product category if only one product category contract or system shows to the requestor what are the appropriate contracts contracts applicable to the sc produc category.
if the system dont propose it, it is not relavant to sc product category.
or if you want assign any contract means you can give control to buyer in the cockpit or you can forcily assign any contract by enhancement.

Supply source determination

what is meaning of supply source determination, how it works purchase price determinations sequence used in the calculation of sales price, Please explain me what is source determination and purchase price dterminatiion type whcih are used in sales price calculation.

Hi Madhuri,
The sales price calculation function contains three subfunctions:
       1.      Determining the purchase price (purchase price determination)
       2.      Determining the sales price (sales price determination)
       3.      Determining the margin, or the actual markup
So your question is about the first step i.e Purchase Price Determination
To determine the sales price of an article which is determined based on the purchase price of the articles ( markup), the purchase price of the article needs to be determined first.
Supply Source Determination
An article in a store can be procured from a DC or from a vendor. This is differentiated by using the "Supply source" which is in the Article Master - Store (or DC) view ( Field Name: MARC-BWSCL).
So when you enter a sales organisation and distribution channel in the VKP5 screen for Sales price calculation, the supply source needs to be found out first to find who is the supplier. The site for determining the supply source is based on the reference site that is assigned for every distribution chain ( Sales org + Dist Channel) and the Sales OrgDist ChannelPrice List
This configuration of assigning the reference site to the dist chain is in
Logistics general -> Retail Pricing ->Sales Price Calculation ->Assign Pricing Type/Reference Site to Organisation level
So once the reference site is determined the supply source of the article can be determined from that store. Then once it is done using the source determination of checking the
1. source list for the store/DC,
2. Supply Region
3. Regular vendor
etc then vendor will be identified ( the sequence may not be correct). Please refer to the below link for more detail on the source determination.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/32/fa424287cf9923e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Once this is done, now we know the cost of the article ( PB00) but we need to find the purchace schema.
The standard purchase price determination sequence is based on the Vendor Schema Group + Purchase Organisation ( Porg Schema group ) if its an external vendor else the STO schema will be determined. Once the Net purchase price is determined through the purchase price, this is used for determination of the sales price using the another process of sales price determination sequence.
Hope this clarifies your query.

Retail:doubt in supply source determination

Hi experts,
I know in supply source determination if supply source is vendor it will look for info record and if the supply source is supplying site then it will look for Site (DC).But my doubt is on which basis it will search for "vendor" and for "supplying site (DC) " in "supply source determination" topic.Where we actually do this.and find this topic.Hope it is clear and simple and expecting clear and simple answer for you.Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
The standard deifinition goes like this...
Supply source determination is part of purchase price determination and therefore
takes place at the beginning of the sales price calculation. It is used to determine the
vendors (sources of supply) for the selected articles and organizational levels. It uses
the system settings to do this. Both external and internal vendors (distribution centers)
can be sources of supply. If purchase price determination type A (standard) is used,
this price determination is performed by means of a purchase price calculation schema
in the case of an external vendor and by means of a pricing procedure in the case of
an internal vendor
NOTE :If multiple vendors are found for an artricle,system looks for the regular vendor flag,and then source list requirement,and then supplying region is checked for that particular article.
You can also refer to the following link for more information :
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4c/420d29470a11d1894a0000e8323352/frameset.htm
Hope it helps.

Automatic determination of condition group

Hi
My client has the following requirement:
- For 3rd party items, in few situations we might have to supply the items immediately.
- In such situations we request our supplier to supply the item directly to the customer (instead of bringing the item into our plant and then shipping)
- In the existing sales orders we change the item category of the item from ZTAN to ZTAS (3rd party item).
Customer wants to have automatic determination of the condition group 2 field at the item level (to some specified CG2 values) whenever we have the change in the item category.
Let me know how we can do this.
Regards
Jagadish

Hi Jagadish,
The field Condition group 2 will be depend upon the Customer not based on the Material or Item or itemcategory,
So I dodn't think system will change the data in this field when you change itemcategory alone.
If you change the customer it will change accordingly
I hope it will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

Determination of Supplying Plant in STO

Hi,
Let's say there are 3 Plants A, B and C. Plant C normally receives Parts from Plant B. I want to set a condition that when Unrestricted Stock in Plant B is 0, then system should perform availability check at Plant A and if available, should choose Plant A as the Supplying Plant.
I came across "Set up Determination of Supplying Plants via Availability Check" in customizing (Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Source Determination). Is it anyway relevant to my requirement. If Yes, how do I go about configuring it? Or is there any other way to handle it in SAP R/3 4.7 ...?
Thanks.
Raj

Hi Raj,
I have the same scenario. Have you found a solution?, Could you share it?
Thanks!

Automatic determination support team based on own specs?

Hi,
Rule 13200137 to automatically determines a support team using some standard specs such as:
SAP Component
Catalog Subject
Category
Code Subject
Subject Code Group
Sold-ToParty Country
Transaction Number
Priority
etc...
how can I add other specs? We need to determine the support team based on data specified in the business partner, ie postal code. In other words, our support team depends more on geographical specs, than SAP componenents.
How can I add other specs in this rule? The function CRM_DNO_READ_PARTNER_WFRULE seems quire hard coded, so I was wondering how to do this?
thanks a million,
regards,
maggie

Hi dolores
I have configured service desk and determination of support message team,
Users can change status of service desk message trough B_USERSTAT Authorization object if the Actions are available regarding the ticket status
I like to set conditions, sou2026 if service message are assigned to BASIS TEAM only this group must change service message status or edit service message data
Thereu2019s any way to do this trough authorization objects?? B_USERST_T maybe ? combination of B_USERSTAT & B_USERST_T (activation) ?? Status profiles & Authorization key & transactions types, actions profiles??

Automatic determination of WBS element in MIGO

Dear Friends,
I have a requirement as below:
When we do reservation for a particular WBS element and do goods issue for a different WBS element, system is not giving any error message.
We want to configure automatic determination of WBS element in MIGO_GI from Reservation and the WBS field should be disabled for editing while doing Goods Issue. Please suggest on the required configurations.
Regards,
Deepa

I'm totally agree with Pete.

IQSM0007 Customer exit for goods movements
This customer exit is used to transfer the document data for a goods movement into serial number management. This involves:
The complete goods document (transfer table S7_TAB_MSEG, structure MSEG),
The purchase order history (transfer table S7_TAB_EKBE, structure EKBE).
The customer exit is called as soon as the document is saved. This means that at this moment in time the document data can be placed in the global memory of function group XQSM, where it is then available when the serial numbers in the document are saved immediately afterwards.
Access to the document data (placed in the global memory of IE01) is performed in customer exit EXIT_SAPLIE01_005, which can be activated using customer exit IQSM0005.
Certain document data can now be copied into the master data of the serial numbers.
Example
You want to copy the goods recipient from the material document and the value from the purchase order history into the serial number.
Goods movement
You activate the customer exit EXIT_SAPLIE01_007 so that you can prepare the required information from the goods document and the purchase order history. You can read additional data (for example, from the purchase order) where necessary.
Posting
You activate the customer exit EXIT_SAPLIE01_005. The data prepared with user exit EXIT_SAPLIE01_007 is available here (for example, goods recipient or purchase order value). This data can be copied into the master data of the serial numbers.

Automatic determination of billing date on order related billing

Dear all,
Some background:
We are using resource related billing: create standing sales order with WBS as reference.
Costs are posted to the WBS (serves as a bucket to collect costs).
Whenever needed, the costs on the WBS are billed. This is done via transaction DP91, creating a billing request for the standing sales order which generates a new sales order which takes the amount from the WBS element. This sales order can then be billed.
In other words: Each period, the standing sales order can be billed (based on the WBS element it contains) in a new sales order.
Problem:
The billing date is derived from the 'requested delivery date' on the sales order.
We would like to have by default proposed by the system as billing date: the date when the (2nd) sales order and/or billing document is generated. So either date of billing should be the billing date or the requested delivery date (which will then automatically determine the billing date)
How can this be achieved?
What I tried:
1). I have ticket the flag "Propose delivery date", but this doesn't seem to be the solution.
2). Factory calender is only to be used in case a specific date should be used (e.g. last day of the week/month). I don't think we need this, as we could just go for "todays date" during (2nd) sales order/billing document creation.
3). I checked the copy control properties, but this is not really an option I think.
Many thanks!

HI, Boiler
I suggest you to check the copy control again.
As I known, there is a Routin setting for data transfer (Data VBRK/VBRP) in the item level. And you can use standard routin 11 means Bill. date= Today.
Hope it can help you.

Output device not automatically determined in VF02

Hello gurus,
My default output device is not coming automatically when I add an output type in VF02. This is an issue because output type has requirement 62 set in output procedure, therefore it will not be added until invoice is release to accounting. Futhermore, we have implemented Argentina eletronic invoice, which won't allow to change the invoice once it has been released to accounting. Quite a contradiction. So I'm hoping the output type will be added by condition technique while releasing to accounting, yet i believe since the output device is not being automatically determined in the background, it won't do.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much.
JP

Hello guys,
I had checked all your suggestions before posting this thread, but still the issue remains:
- VV31 condition records are fine but I cannot set a single output device since it will be used for many output devices.
- Analysis was carried in VF02 and the condition is being picked up but since requirement 62 is set in the output procedure, which forces the billing document to be first released to accounting, the condition is being removed:
- Printer is set in the user profile options, but does not come as default in VF02
Thank you all.
Kind regards,
JP

SD: Condition record not getting automatically determined

Hi,
Condition record not getting automatically determined for a condition type for which following access is maintained.
The access has table containing following fields:
Sales Organisation
Distribution Channel
Division
Sales Document type
Sales Document No.
Material no.
Following is the scenario:
A sales order is created for Project Systems attach a WBS element to the line item .
With respect to the above created sales order a Billing request ( a sales doc. type which is different than the above sales order). When the billing request is created materials appearing in the line item will be different.Different materials will appear in the billing request because of the DIP profile maintained.
The prerequisite is that before creating billing request the sales employee has to maintain condition master record with above access.The condition record will combine sales organisation, distribution channel, division, sales document type ,
sales document number ( the 1st refered sales order)
and the material are different
than the ones maintained in the 1st sales order.
This will enable in getting billing request generated without manual intervention in pricing for other materials for which condition records have been maintained as stated above.
Following is the error message we get
===================================
" Inactive X Inactive via formulae of incorrect "
Thanks
Aby

As I know, thats just a warning message(if its a std one).
Ignore it and save.
Check your pricing date of the document. For execution it should be similar or after valid-from date maintain in condition record.
But, you need not create a condition record. Simply change the existing one combination of your desire. But, this warning will come there also for your combination.
Thanks & Regards

Automatic determination of header condition in sales document

Hi Friends,
How can we make a header condition automatically determined in a sales document ?
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
You can use the condition supplements to automate the header condition. Please note that the condtion supplement procedure should consist of the Header condtion types.
Lets assume that you want to automate HB00 and RB00. Then for PR00, you should assign condition supplements procedure PR0000. This procedure should carry HB00 and RB00. Then while maintaining condition record for PR00, click condtion supplements and maintain rate for HB00 and RB00 as well.
Once you create order, you can see HB00 and RB00 getting picked up automatically.
Thanks & regards,

LE-TRA : automatic determination of the route for MM module

Hi guys,
for the automatic determination of the route for MM module is it mandatory to fill the storage location?
Thanks in advance,
Dom.

Dominique,
Route determination uses the country code and transportation zone from the address records as some of the inputs into the route determination. Dependent on the IS solution you are using and SAP version the configeration determines how the route is determined.
If you are on a standard EEC 6.0 system try the configuration path (transaction SPRO)
Materials Management -> Purchasing Purchase Order-> Set up Stock Transport Order -> Set Up Stock Transfer Between Storage Locations -> Set Up Storage-Location-Dependent Shipping Point Determination ->
Define Rule for Determination of Shipping Point
Assign Shipping Points According to Storage Location
Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions -> Routes -> Route Determination
For an STO the from address record is take "from" the shipping point (determined from plant or storage location see configuration options above) and the "to" this the receiving plant.

Automatic determination of the route

Hello experts.
Is there any way to determine the automatic route for stock transfer between storage locations, using the shipping point of origin and destination?
The automatic determination of the route is transport zone and country, being the center does not assign correct. Or I can use some user exit to change the route before the creation of delivery (shipping)?
Thanks

ZBAPI to display Supply source/vendor/material and their descriptions...

Hi Frnds,
I need to write 3 ZBAPIs to list (1)all supply source and their text (2)all vendors and their text,(3)materials and their text
by calling some std Fm in the source code.
IF you know any STD BAPI/ RFC FM/ FM to get those datails, please provide me...
Note: I shd get all existing vendors with their texts. i.e., what we get when we press F4 like that.

Output type not automatically determined (no output device specified)

the output device is already specified for this output
we dont want to manually add the output on all the invoices where the output was not automatically determined before... what should we do?
is there a way not to manually add them?
thanks in advance
Pablito

Hi
You really dont need to add the output in all these documents.
You have to maintain the masterdata for output records in VV31.
Now just open all the invoice documents one by one in Change mode through transaction code VF02 and just save it
Whenever a document is opened in change mode, the output gets automatically triggered. Hence the output type will be automatically populated in the output screen. Once you save the document, the output gets successfully executed, and you will get the desired document
Reward if this helps you
