Automatic STO

Hi All,
Can we create Automatic STO from PRs...
Please get back to me.........

Hi
It is possible to create automatic PO for STO. Setting are same as standard STO setting. Even if you do not have vendor master defined for your supplying plant, it is sufficient to have automatic PO tick in material master and Combination of document type and supplying plant and receiving plant in customization needs to be done in "Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, Underdelivery Tole"

Automatic STO-Delivery & PGI

Hi Guys,
The material have been extended to both the receiving and supplying company code(Plant).
Supplying company is created as vendor in receiving company(Plant).
Receiving company is created as customer in receiving company(Plant).
All inter company STO settings have been made.
Our requirement is we need to do auto delivery and PGI ,as we will get material delivered and qty from third party software at weigh bridge.
We need to avoid using VL10D and VL02N. This should happen automatically.
We have initially tried working out this doing some more configurations.
# SPRO > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up Stock Transport Order > Activate Automatic Delivery Creation and CRM Billing
# Activate Automatic Delivery Creation for PO Type and Shipping Point
We need to know what is the steps to do automatic delivery & PGI. I don't have idea on what the steps involved in this process.
1069448 - Outbound delivery not created automatically in ME21n for STO
986195 - No scheduling in automatically created replenishment deliv.
Have read these two notes,but could not able to get clear idea on it.
Is it possible in standard or any ABAP development is needed. Kindly advise.
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi,
   Please set the configurations in the path, for your shipping point, PO doc type and plant:
1. OLME - Purchase Order - Set up Stock Transport Order - Activate Automatic Delivery Creation and CRM Billing
2. OLME - Purchase Order - Set up Stock Transport Order - Activate Automatic Delivery Creation for PO Type and Shipping Point
   Now maintain the settings in VL10CUC transaction as below:
   Now, create the PO with correct document type and check the shipping tab for the shipping details. You may also check the ATP by selecting the item and click and the ATP button in ME21N. Also check whether any warning message is issued in PO.
   If you save the PO, the delivery will be created automatically while you save the PO. No need to schedule any background job. Please note that the system wont do PGI automatically, as of my knowledge.
   If its not created, check whether you are able to create delivery in VL10B and revert back with your SAP release details.

AKPT

Automate STO

Hi,
Can we automate total STO process ie from me21n to MIRO.
With help of BDC ???

Ivneet

Yes you can do that.
BAPI call would be a better option than BDC.

Automatic STO for materials with split valuation

Hey Gurus,
Our client uses plant-to-plant STO to do transfers among internal plants. The current process: Run MRP in receiving plants --> MRP generates PReq --> Release PReq --> Assign Preq and create STO(from here, buyers manually check stock at issuing plant to see if there are "New" or "Rebuild" stock available, Rebuild stock always take the priority. Buyers manually assign Rebuild or New to ME21N).
The client tries to automate the STO process, ie, using ME59 or ME59N instead of ME21N. The problem is how the system does stock check and automatically enters"Rebuild" or "New" for materials with Split Valuation, which are done by buyers manually?
Thanks
JM

Hello,
Your client's request can be met with an user exit i guess. I have not used this but this is a suggestion that you can try if you wish.
The following things need to be done.
1. New PR type needs to be created and assinged to the STO document type.
2. When running a MRP at receiving plant, the system uses the special procurement key to create the STO requisition, hence we can write the relevant code in user exit in the MRP program. (please find the user exit for MD01)
3. If the special procurement key is 40 in the material master (MRP view), then system has to create the PR using the new PR type for STO. Also for those PRs the default batch should be "Rebuilt" entered while creating the PR.
4. As the batch is already entered in the PR, converting them to PO automatically will not be an issue.
if you feel that the above solution is little tough to implement, then please write a program to fetch the STO PRs and update the PRs one by one using the BAPI PR update or BDC with the batch "Rebuilt". This program you can ask the users to run before using ME59.

Automatic STO printing when saving

Hi SAP gurus,
We have automatic PO rinting done when we save the PO. How can we replicate the same thing when a STO is saved? Cna anybody help me with that?
Thanks
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
STO printing can be done by maintaining these settings.
1. Maintain condition records for the output type with STO doc type key combination.
2. Manintain the despatch time (Column - 6) as 4 i.e. Send immediately (when saving the application)
Cheers

Automatic creation of STO

Hi gurus,
How can i make an automatic STO ??? what all steps are required right from the base level..???

hi...
Yes its possible to create the STO through ME59. For that you need to maintain Auto PO creation Tick mark in Material master and vendor master so that you can creat it with no error.
as well please verify/confirm that you are using MRP or not for creation of Purchase requisition.
for your help please go through this link

STO Process Automation

Hi Gurus,
We need to make I/C Stock transport order automated. and we need to achive following.
1. Delivery shall be created automatically upon saving STO ( Can't change any config due to other dependencies)
2. PGI Shall happen automatically for the STO
3. GR shall automatically happen automatically STO ( Here also 1-step config can't used due to dependencies)
4. Invoice shall be created automatically
Can anyone let me know the User exit for PO save and any BAPI/FM/BADI for automatic delivery creation/PGI and Goods receipt and Invoice
Fast Response would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Dharmesh.

To automate the process, use the following (in a development, though).
1. PO creation: use bapi BAPI_PO_CREATE1
2. Delivery creation: use bapi BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CREATE_STO
3. PGI of delivery: use FM WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE
4. Perform GR: use FM BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE
5. billing document: BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEFROMDATA
6. invoice verification at receiving end: BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE
Steps 5 and 6 are only for inter company billing.

Aroop

Purchase on behalf of other company

Hi Gurus,
I need suggestion.
Biz scenario:
Company 1000, purchasing org 1000, plant 1000
Company 2000, purchasing org 2000, plant 2000
External Vendor
Company 1000 raise order to Company 2000.
Company 2000 raise order to External Vendor.
External Vendor will directly ship the goods to Company 1000.
Payment to external vendor will be done by Company 2000.
Company 1000 will pay to Company 2000 as an interco.
It's like third party, but the customer is another company (company 1000).
Does anyone have encounter this kind of biz scenario?
Is there any best practice/sollution for this?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
If we are using third party sales...
1. Company 2000 will create SO for Company 1000, and PR to external vendor will be created automatically.
2. External vendor will ship the goods to Company 1000
3. Company 2000 may do statistical GR.
4. Company 2000 will issue invoice to Company 1000.
The questin are:
1. How Company 2000 know the requirement from Company 1000?
2. How Company 1000 perform goods receive (and increase the stock in their plant 1000)?
1 ) Company code 1000 will create PO against that Po company code 2000 will create SO
2) 2. How Company 1000 perform goods receive (and increase the stock in their plant 1000)?
Against PO which you received they can perform MIGO
f we are using STO...
1. Company 1000 raise STO to Company 2000.
2. Company 2000 raise PO to External Vendor.
3. External Vendor will directly ship the goods to Company 1000.
4. Payment to external vendor will be done by Company 2000.
5. Company 1000 will pay to Company 2000 as an interco.
The question are:
1. How Company 2000 convert STO from Company 1000, into PO to external vendor?
Manual entry? MRP generate PR? Or any automatic STO to PO conversion/creation (something like 3rd party SO & it's PR)?
2. Is there any method to perform goods receive only in Company 1000 (without Company 2000 performing goods receive from vendor & goods issue to company 1000)?
3. If there is, then how to di it?
Cross company STO nothing but sales
so for STO PO company code 2000 will create SO ,so will get convert into PR and then PO

APO ATP - ATP Check for batch stock

Hi experts
We have an interesting scenario on which i dont have much exposure. The client promises stock from specific batches. eg. a particular sales order can only be confirmed from a specific batch. The details of the batch is provided on the sales order. Is there a way that GATP addresses this requirement. If yes then can someone please share the config details to set up such a scenario.
Thank You
Rajiv Sarin

Hi Rajiv,
Let me know if you could discover this. This could be oft required function in GATP. But i presume the batch determination (automatic-FIFO, LIFO etc) would precede the availability check and hence subsequent processes of delivery and PGI would have to "honour" it physically as well once confiemed on order.. If e.g. RF trasactions are used and batch numbers at HU or item level are scanned, then it would be impossible for picking to happen as this lends itself as sure case of physical inventory violation.
I imagine a whole lot of developments of GATP esp. considering customers expectations wrt. "variants (not a in VC-CA)", "make (e.g any 3 models of phones available for same price with a connection)", "regular/gift pack", "age(2002 make motorbike)" etc. even if to begin with they dont make different saleable, plannable, traceable or accoutable products..they only make some extra options (maintained nowhere in the system) available for some historical reasons. Its also likely that for the same order partial quantities are confirmed at different locations (using MLATP).. e.g. regional DC, factory, retail outlet or some other private retailer (sales order converting itself partially to a purchase order) with or without consolidation.
Also likely are options wrt customer delievry locations (ship to parties) that again lends a strong business case to make full use of advanced availablity checks, consolidation(at original location of check), automatic STO's being trigerred to a given location, MISL (the best possible consolidation location),.. and bring in the concept of ATP optimizer (cost based) or MAD based (due date based) and an ATP strategy. (much more complex then rule strategy) in a sense that there is a lot of value to be "unlocked" with some creative order promising that would lend itself to complete line and order fill rate even when there appears to be little scope of fulfilling it. Here comes the role of customer service/self service to let customers convince themselves with better options., that makes the order serviceable and profitable at the same time.
e.g. In a pure MTO kind of scenario GATP could assume even greater significance with its unique abilities to trigger planned orders and purchase requistions, component and capacity checks. incl. checks at SMI slocations, subcon, component vendors, mfg. plants, and plug itself to entire production schedule just from an ATP check of an end product. This could probably be called Automatic ATP. I am sure SAP has thought on these lines and holds a lot on these lines for future releases.

Excise Invoice automatically created during STO Billing

Hi all,
During creating of billing documents in VF01 for STO invoice, the excise invoice is also created simultaneously without manual creation. Normally excise invoice are created seperately by
giving the billing document reference no.through J1IIN. Suddenly, the excise invoice has also
been created in VF01 itself. Can anybody explain what may be the reason and how to restore
to manual transaction process of creating excise invoice.
Thanks & Regards,
Sadashivan

Hi,
Check the Excise Group settings which you are using for your STO transaction .
SPRO -- Log gen--Tax on goods movement - India Basic settings --Maintain Excise Groups
Here for your Excise group check whether You have selected Excise inv during billing for Outgoing excise invoice.
If there then system will create automatically Excise invoice during Billing document creation,

STO PO price should flow automatically into STO invoice

Hi
Pls. let me know how to automate flow of STO PO price into STO invoice.
thanks

Hello Shreya,
It is possible to copy the purchase order price PB00 into IV invoice:
> in copy control Delivery > IV Billing
     the field pricing source (PRSQU) must be 'A',
     the field pricing type (KNPRS) should NOT redetermine the price
     (for example 'G').
> both pricing procedures in billing and purchase order must have
the same pricing condition (in standard PB00).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Raghavendra
