Automatic PO creation when neither Contract or fixed vendor found

Hi All,
This is continuation of my previous thread. the issue has not been resolved and needs suggestions.
SRM 5.0 ECS SP15. The issue happens sporadically when SRM SC is created without contract item (catalog/direct mat).
So, when SC is created with above condition, instead of going to sourcing, system directly creates the PO. The only thing I noticed was the SC contained entry in preferred vendor field. there is no custom code on turning preferred vendor to fixed. And this does not happen often.
Please advise
Regards
Rao

hello,
the preferred vendor maintained is treated as a source of supply. below is the IMG documentation for Sourcing is carried out for items without a source of supply setting
SAP Enterprise Buyer transfers all requirements that have multiple sources of supply, of which none are assigned, to the purchaser's sourcing application. Once you have selected a source of supply in the shopping cart, the item does not go to the sourcing application and a PO is created.
as suggested by Ricardo, you may implement BBP_SRC_DETERMINE BAdI to overwrite this, i.e. Sourcing will not be carried out only when a contract is assigned to a shopping cart item.
regards.

Automatic PO creation when neither from Contract or Inventory items.

Hi All,
I have unique situation where PO were automatically created from Shopping cart upon approval when they did not have a Contract or for inventory items. The only difference noticed was it has preferred vendor assigned during SC. My thoughts is the SC documents should end up in Sourcing when there is no contracts found or not procured for invoentory.
We are in SRM 5.0 Extended Classic and SP 15.
I am not sure what might trigger these Shopping carts to be PO automatically upon approval. Please advise
Thanks
Rao

Hi Muthuraman,
I understand inorder for SC to become PO, it needs to have a fixed Vendor. but my issue is the SC does not have a fixed vendor(no contract) but a preferred vendor was entered. Though preferred vendor is entered and Vendor is not fixed, PO was created after SC approval which should not be the case. My SPRO settings has 'Sourcing carried out for items without assgined source of supply'
Please advise.

How do I turn off automatic bookmark creation when combining multiple PDFs into one?

When I combine multiple PDFs into one, I need Adobe to use the CUSTOM bookmarks I created in the original PDFs. I do NOT want the additional PDF name as a bookmark in this instance. Is there a way to turn this option OFF in Acrobat Professional? I have version 9.

You can not automatically turn off this action nor can you remove the 'file_name.pdf' heading, but you could add a button or menuitem to remove the 'file_name.pdf' from the bookamarks. Yes, it is one more step to perform when combining PDFs, but is you want until you have all of the PDFs combined you only need do it once.
Removing filename bookmarks created by Acrobat by Sean Stewart
From the above article:
"With the release of Acrobat 6 came the ability to create a composite (binder) document from multiple files, (i.e. File > Create PDF > From Multiple Files.) When this is done, Acrobat automatically inserts a new top level bookmark at the start of each new file. The bookmark title will correspond to the source filename of the source file. While this level of separation can be helpful, it is counterproductive when the user wants the bookmark tree in the merged document to be continuous.
"Here's a sample JavaScript to remove the top level bookmarks from the bookmark tree. This script will look for a ".pdf" extension to decide whether to remove the bookmark."
With some additional coding you can add menu item or toolbar button.

Automatic Batch creation when posting 103 document

hi all,
i want a modification in the system. currently in our system, when 101 document is created in MIGO, system automatically creates a batch. But when 103 is done, batch has to be created manually in the system and in qa32 while doing quality usage decision, user has to assign batch to inspection lot. what i want that in 103 as well, batch autmatically creates like 101 and inspection lot is assigned to batch automatically. Is this possible? If yes then what configurations i have to do?

Automatic DIR creation when mailed with Subject

Hi SAP Gurus,
We Have a requirement where an user sends a Mail with the subject line as the DIR No (particularly the Document folder No in EDMS) with some document files attached to it,
The requirement is, based on the mail sent the system should create a DIR in DMS with the attached files placed inside the DIR automatically with out any manual interventions.
So we can have a list of DIRs created under one folder in DMS.
Please Explain in detail like how this requirement could be met, if it is an development also throw some light on the methord to be followed.
There are some scanner interfaces available in the market but we are not sure to go for any third party integration for getting this single requirement fullfilled.
Points awaiting for usefull suggestions
Thanks and regards

The TDMC(Technical Document Management Connectivity) offering allows a customer to connect to their SAP Document Management System (DMS) via MS Outlook. This is achieved using a MS Outlook Plug-in that was developed in C#, which you can modify at the customer's site to include customer-specific information. The second part of this offering is the usage of SAP Enterprise Services (ES), which are standard as of ERP 2005. This offering uses a specific ES called DocumentBulkCreate. The final part of this tool is the SAP DMS itself.
This tool enables the following:
- From MS Outlook, the user has a context menu option to work with SAP DMS.
- By selecting this option, the user is prompted to add additional information about the e-mail (for the
standard offering the user is prompted for the project number but this can be tailored to the customer
needs via the C# program).
- After confirmation, the tool then checks this e-mail into SAP DMS via the ES.
- This creates a new Document Info Record (DIR) in which:
    1) Information about the e-mail along with any entered information via the prompt is automatically
       placed into the classification of this DIR.
    2) The body of the e-mail is saved as an original within the DIR as a *.txt file.
    3) Any/all attachments are stored as originals separately within the DIR in their original file format
       (such as *.ppt, *.xls, *.docu2026).
Within this document, you can expect to find step-by-step instructions on how to implement this toolset using the standard developed version. Some aspects of this implementation can be adapted to support customer-specific needs. Where applicable, the document attempts to point out whether customization of the offering is advised.
Please refer SAP Document, "Enterprise Services End-to-End Implementation Guide Using SAP® ERP 2005, ECC-SE SP3" from SAP Service marketplace.
Hope this helps.

Hi Razmee,
Thanks for your response.
The mail server worked when I originally set it up and continued to work for months afterwards.
What would make the outgoing mail server not be set up correctly after all that time?
Thanks again.

Hi,
I have run MRP for a certain material using MD03 .Message shows MRP run successfully.Then I checked the status of this by using transactions MD04 and it shows the PR no for that material.But when I want to create automatic PO through ME59n using that PR no , message shows no suitable PR exist.I have also set the Automatic PO indicator in Material master Purchasing view.
What is the reason behimd it.

Hi,
For automatic PO creation follow the below points.
1) Material Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box
2) Vendor Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box.
3) Maintain Source list for Vendor & Material.
4) Maintain Purchase Info Record.
5) Create a Purchase Requisition.
6) Use T.Code: ME59N & execute for PR for vendor, you will be able to create automatic PO.
Ensure that Purchase Info Record should be there.
If you have more than one vendor then fixe only one vendor in source list.
Did you set source determination during PR creation

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 With MB01 i am getting Error

Hi ,
While doing goods receipt for Automatic Po creation i am getting error
MM activated Automatic Po
VM activated Automatic Po
101 Mov Type is also activated
Item 00010 of purchasing document 9999999999 does not exist
Message no. ME706
Diagnosis
Purchase order 00010 with item 9999999999 was not found.
Procedure
Enter a different purchase order.
i given the Vendor and quantity after entering error is coming
Please help
Manjunath

HI,
Pls ceck the points mentioned below.
Define one of the purchase organizations as Standard Purchase Organization
Assign your plant to Standard Purchase Organization
Maintain purchasing information record with price
Maintain the indicator for movement types 101 & 161
Define Default Values (MB01) for Document Type
Now you can enter a goods receipt without entering the purchase order number, a purchase order will be created automatically when you post the goods receipt. All such goods receipt will be valuated at the price maintained in the purchasing information record.
First you can try this with T. Code MB01 if it is working then try with T. Code MIGO, if you face any error or functionality is not working check with your basis consultant some authorization or some patches may be missing. Ask him to apply all relevant patches.
Thanks

Automatic TO Creation for QM Usage Decision

Dear Gurus
We all know WM TO to releasing stock from QI to UU or return goods to vendor can be created automatically,
My question is, when the usage decision is split into two, some material going into stock, and some returned to vendor. for return to vendor, SAP will do automatic transfer, but for material go into stock, SAP is not release Q status in WMS to unrestricted (blank), I have set the movement 321 to create TO automatically and post into same bin.
FYI, if the transaction is separated, SAP perform well (transfer Q to unrestricted done automatically and return to vendor also done automatically)
Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks and Regards
CJ Lee

Hi,
In case of a usage decision for a partial quantity, it is not possible to create the TO for the generated posting change notice automatically. This is only possible when the full quantity is released. The same happens if you release a partial quantity and post the rest using a different stock posting. The reason is, there needs to be a user decision, which part of the quantity has to be posted, this is necessary for example when the quantity is distributed in the warehouse over many storage bins. But even if the full quantity is on one storage bin, there is no automatic TO creation. You can see this also in the online processing LT05), in case of partial quantities you have to enter the selected quantity in the quant list, for a full posting this is not necessary.
Hope this helps.

Sinéad Curran

Automatic TO creation for delivery

Dear Experts ,
We are facing a problem with Automatic TO creation for delivery only in some storage types ( not all the types , some types are working fine )
The problem happened after we applied a user exit for a specific picking strategy , but even after we have cancelled that user exit still problem remained.
We have checked the following settings, and everything seems fine:
1-Warehouse management - Activities u2013 transfers u2013 define Mvt type
2-Warehouse management u2013 interfaces- Automatic TO creation
Looking for your help in this issue
Thanks ,
Malik

Hi Malik,
You mentioned that you have previously implemented the picking user-exit and removed it later. Did you enter the correct picking strategy for the effected storage types after removing the user-exit? This could be one reason.
What happens when you try to create the TO manually?
Regards,
Osman
