Automatic PO creation of free text PR

Hi!
We have all our PRs in free text since we are not yet using material master. One of our purchase organization will only order from one vendor and they will enter that vendor and price in the PR. Is it possible to create a PO automatically from that PR without a material or source list?
Sincerely
Anders

Hi
Thank you very much. Is it possible to restrict the automatic creation to a certain purchase organization?
If I understand you right:
1) Create PR with item category D Service
2) Activate automatic PO creation in ML91
That will create POs for all PRs created as a service?
Sincerely
Anders

  • Automatic PO from PR [free text base procurement ]

    Hi SAP gurus ,
    I have following question ,
    I am not using material master , it is a free text base procurement .
    even there are no contracts in place .
    Purchasing is only PR - PO w.r.t. & without respect to PR  - GR - IV . etc.
    How can I create a Automatic PO w.r.t. PR ?
    Can anybody please advice?
    Thanks ,
    Prasad

    Hello,
    1. Check auto PO tick in Vendor Master record.
    2. Create Info record for material group which you are going to use in PR. This is important for net price, purchasing group and tax code which will be mandatory in PO.
    3. Assign Source of supply as this info record in PR.
    4. Create auto PO in ME59N t- code.

  • SRM Classic - Automatic PO creation in R/3 only for PReqs based on catalogs

    Dear Experts,
    in SRM 7.0 Classic Scenario, i am facing the following question w.r.t. automatic PO creation on the R/3 side:
    Is it possible to have automatic PO creation in R/3 only for those purchase requisition items, that are based on shopping cart items from a third party punch out catalog?
    The idea is, that the requisitioner on the SRM EBP side shops in a catalog. Once the the SC is approved and the purchase requisition is created in the R/3 system, automatically a PO should be created based on that PReq. This would save the time for the buyer, who do not need to pay attention to this document, because the purchase from the catalog guarantees the buyer, that the already pre-agreed conditions are getting applied.
    But PReqs that are based on Free Text shopping cart EBP items must not be taken into account for the automatic PO creation.
    Is there a way to distinguish between the catalo-based and the non-catalog based PReq positions?
    Thank you.

    Hello Ashutosh,
    thank you very much for that idea!
    I would have the following question w.r.t. to such configuration:
    If i configure that the PO creation for complete SC should happen for a certain purchasing group, would it be somehow possible to arrange that when a Catalog item is put into the shopping cart, that only that certain purchasing group gets defaultet? (the idea behind this is, to leave the free text shopping carts to already known purchasing groups and to keep the purchase requisition as the backend object for this configuration. And additionally to create new purchasing groups, that should be linked to the catalog purchases and to POs as the backend objects).
    Thanks again for the help!

  • Automatic PO creation - only for PRs based on catalog SRM/EBP items

    Dear Experts,

    Auto PO transaction ME59N comes with huge selection crieteria. If you can distinguish between catelog vs non catalog requisition then it very easy to set up variant to filter non catalog based requistion. you can also think about ehnacement of polulating text fields like Requisitioner or Requirement tracking number  with unque idetifier  in case of non catalog based PR then you can set variant to filter out those requistions..

  • Error during automatic po creation ME59N

    Dear All,
    Following errors has been shown after automatic po creation by ME59N:-
    Message text Message Class Message Number
    PO could not be created
    PO header data still faulty MEPO 2
    Enter Validity End ME 83
    Enter Latest GR Date ME 83
    Can delivery date be met? ME 40
    Requisition could not be converted
    Please suggest how to solve above .
    with regards,
    Pradeep Bhardwaj

    Hi
    From the messages it seems that system is expecting a Validity end date at PO header & Latest GR date at item level.
    Do you have these two fields as required in the PO??
    If these are required fields then you need to have process to populate them automatically (Programatically) to resolve the error.
    Thanx

    Hello,
      to check the errors issued I suggest to try to create the PO converting the PR from transaction ME21N.
    I guess that some fields, mandatory for the PO creation, were not filled in the Purchase Request and could not be determined in any different way. If you can't maintain them on the PR you should set them as optional, if possible, in the customizing for Screen lay-out of transaction ME59N, under "Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Define Screen Layout at Document Level".
    Hope to be useful.
    Best regards,

  • Append hyphen automatically after the wrapping of text in the dimension field

    Post Author: Nita_here
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    I want to Append hyphen automatically after the wrapping of text in the dimension field.
    e.g the text reads "I want to wrap this text". then if cell width exceeds after "I want to wrap" then it should be displayed like this "I want to wrap-" "this text".
    Thanks in advance,
    Nita

    Thanks for your input.
    Let me tell you what I have understood. I will create a variable having the formula (which i have earlier written) in universe. Whenever i need to use the formula in infoview, I will call the variable instead. That's fine. But again, I will have the same problem. If I do any change in infoview level, the cell width is bound to change as it is not the free standing cell, its a column among othe one. e.g.
    A  B  C
    1  2  3
    4  5  6
    (you can think B as the column). Any change(addition, deletion of columns) will certainly change the cell width of B. So, again I need to calculate the things, which i dont want.
    Nita_here: I manually calculated that after 12 characters, the cell wraps the text.
    I wonder if there would be a way to do the things dynamically.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nita

  • RESULTS RECORDING WITH FREE TEXT IN QUALITY MANAGEMENT

    Hi,
    How can I give free text of 300 chars In results recording? For a process order with batch number & recipe, (in which master inspection characteristics are mentioned which are linked to general characteristics.)
    I created characteristics (type CHAR)(which can be used as free text in results recording ) I have created class, assigned chars to class & finally to material. Also assigned MIC to this class chars.
    When I do results recording I need to have these characteristics to be display as free text of 30character width. But since I have to give selected set for this general chars.(which is the system requirement) I have given  selected set while creation of characteristics.
    Due to this I can only select the codes from the selected set. Is there any process in which I can write free text up to 30 cars during results recording in quality module? & those characteristics I want to assign to MIC so that when process order is executed the first operation of quality can be done for RR.
    With Regards,
    Kareena

    Hi Kareena,
    All of first let me make it clear, if you will assign a Class Characteristic to the MIC, then it will become either Qualitative or QNT.
    Now toeards your questions solution.
    Option:-1
    As suggested by Venkatr, make the control indicator "Docu. Req" in the MIC control indicator set, page:-2. for the line item of MIC in the insepction plan.
    So, the system will prompt you a message to insert a text as described by Venkat, where you can enter the Long text also (Check the button available in the lower part of that small window)
    Option:-2
    Create a document type for this purpose, and assign a file, having 300 char. to the MIC, with the help of the "Object Link" function of SAP, avaialble with RR screen also.

  • GR based IV to be checked for free text requirement

    Hi All,
    Is there any option that if we create shopping carts for free text requirement,GR based IV should be checked automatically in purchase order created for that shopping cart.Or will this get replicated depending on vendor master we select.Please suggest.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    As of standard, this setting in PO would come from Vendor master only. But in case you want this to happen for all free text items, then you can use the doc change badi as suggested by Masa. You should use the po change method to pass this indicator.

  • Acrobat 5.0.5 text disappears in Free Text Tool

    Ok it's an oldie, but it's a goodie.  I love my Acrobat 5.0.5, and never had any reason to upgrade.  Well once.  From 5.0 to 5.0.5.  I have used my license on three different machine builds.  95, 2K and now XP Pro 64 bit and it still works great.  (Yes, this program has outlived 2 older computers!)  Well.  Until yesterday.  Suddenly when I create a free text box, and type in there, the text disappears.  This happened once before a few years back, and I have forgotten what the fix was, but I do believe that was why I upgraded from 5.0 to 5.0.5.  Now it is happening again.
    Now for the real kick in the pants.  I tried to reinstall my product, thinking to correct the problem, and all of a sudden Adobe doesn't like my several years old serial number.  I get the error message that it isn't valid.  And it IS a valid license, just a really OLD one.  I only used it for the latest install of this, my same program, about a year ago, maybe a little more than a year.
    I tried to just run the 5.0.5 update program again and it says the program isn't even installed to update.  What the heck?  OF COURSE IT IS.
    I'm very frustrated and disappointed, as this is an old favorite of mine and I hate to think that Adobe has rused it so that it just won't work anymore to force me to purchase a newer version, when I didn't need a newer version.
    If someone familiar with this old version of Acrobat could help me resolve this issue, I would very much appreciate it.  Thanks in advance.

    The 64 bit OS can run most 32 bit applications just fine if you set it up right, and as I stated, this issue is not a compatibility issue, but a recurring issue within the application itself that also plagued me once upon a time when I ran it under Win 2k.  Apparently an Adobe bug, and I suspect it is more related to the forced download of an updated version of the basic acrobat reader (due to Adobe inflicted browser issues)  than it is with a Windows update.  In my case, I set all of my old 32 bit applications up on a separate drive.  I never default install programs on the main OS drive if it can be helped.  Some of them I have to click the actual application *.exe or shortcut, because "open with" absolutely will not work, even if it is set as the default application for certain extensions.  You will get an error message about it not being a valid Win32 application.  From the program itself, however, once it is launched, it is never a problem to browse to and open the correct data file.
    I even went so far as to install the Adobe basic reader when I was forced to do so, on a completely separate drive from my Acrobat 5 because I am well aware that previously caused problems as well, and never EVER let the application make its automatic updates from Adobe.... EITHER of them, actually.  I suspect it was one of those snuck through and not a Windows update that caused it, although the possibility exists, I suspect Adobe does whatever it can to sell more software.

  • Taxonomy Attributes - Can they accept free Text

    HI Friends,
    Our MDM Version: MDM 5.5, SP06, Patch 04.
    We currently have Taxonomy Attributes sent from MDM to ECC Classification & Material Characteristics  using CLFMAS02. Until now these characteristics had fixed values and this was fine as both MDM and ECC were accepting only fixed values.
    Now the business wants to make the Classification Characteristics in ECC as free Text(No Drop Down). And this is do able in ECC. But MDM cannot allow Taxonomy Attrbutes to be Free Text . It has to have fixed set of values in MDM.
    Please help me with input in the following areas:
    1. Can we make the Taxonomy Attributes in MDM as FREE Texts.
    2. If we cannnot make them as FREE Texts , what is the reason for it to have been designed so.
    3. What should be the alternative approach i could use to have this scenario implemented in MDM.
    Your inputs would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sh

    Hi Alexander,
    I have an excel interface used for Mass Creation of Materials. This will in addition have fields for the Taxonomy Characteristics which would accept free text and get mapped to the characteritics.
    Unless the characteristic is a free text it will not work.
    As I mentioned on the ECC side the free text for characteristics can be enabled. the challenge is MDM does not allow it so i dont think i can use the CLFMAS as is.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sh

  • Free text and catalog items

    Hello SRM Experts
    How can I implemnt this requirement ?
    A Purchase Requisition has been uploaded from backend into SRM and a Shopping Card will be
    generated.
    The Purchase Requisition will be generated automatically if you create an Plant Maintance Order.
    After Approval Process within SRM is the following action is desired.
    If the generated Shopping Card has catalog items than choose or call in the BBP_DRIVER_DETERMINE
    BADI the class CL_BBP_BS_ADAPTER_PO_CRT_470 for creating a purchase order
    else choose in case of free text items CL_BBP_BS_ADAPTER_RQ_CRT_470 (update the Purchase Requistion inside)
    in order to update the Purchase Requistion in the backend.
    Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
    Regards
    ertas ilhan

    Hi. How's this:
    1 - Implement BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS  method DETERMINE_LOGSYS -
    2 - Loop at ITEM_DATA
    3 - If ITEM_DATA-CATALOGID is not initial then ITEM_DATA-LOGICAL_SYSTEM = Backend R/3 / ECC system
    4 - If ITEM_DATA-CATALOGID is initial then ITEM_DATA-LOGICAL_SYSTEM = SRM system
    At this point if your shopping cart item is from a catalogue then you will get a backend PO. If it is a free text item you will get a local SRM PO.
    5 - Now implement BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI method BBP_PO_CHANGE. This will only get called when a local PO is created or changed.
    6 - In BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI Call function BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE destination R/3 / ECC backend to update your requisition.
    7 - Also in  BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI Loop at ET_ITEM and set ET_ITEM-DEL_IND to 'X'.
    Basically you have created a dummy SRM PO and used the PO change BADI to change the requisition, and also to delete the dummy PO.
    Regards,
    Dave.
