Best Practice while creating Contract, Purchase Requisition, Purchase Order

Hi
What is the best practice with respect to Contract & Purchase Requisition?
IN T Code ME31K, there is a button Reference to PReq, meaning that we can create contract with using Purchase Requisition. (We have done the same)
While creating the Purchase Order using Contract, we could find Purchase Requisition reference in the Purchase Order; similarly when we created the Purchase Order using Purchase Requisition, we could find Contract reference in the Purchase Order.
I have done the following:
1. Create a Contract.
2. Create a Purchase Requisition
3. Assign Requisition and Create Purchase Order using T Code ME57.
4. Create Purchase Order
Here in this case we could find references of both Contract & Purchase Requisition.
I just want to know what Practice should we adopt / advise while creating Contract, Purchase Requisition. & Purchase Order?
Regards,

Hi,
In ME51N Screen, enter Contract number in the "AGREEMENT" TAB and if more items in the contract, you can mention the item number in the next TAB to the AGREEMENT TAB and then proceed with creating PR by entering other details. This TAB you can find in the 4th column from extreme right end of PR screen.

Error while creating contract type 0002 [Purchase side]

Hiya
While creating a purchase side contract vide tcode wb21 i am getting following error
No basic purchase price relevant to pricing found with schema RM0000
Message no. WV185
Diagnosis
There is no condition record flagged as relevant to pricing in the master conditions defined for the basic purchase price.
Procedure
Check in Customizing (price determination, Purchasing) whether the condition types that are used as gross price or promotion price (these are PB00, PBXX and PA00 in the standard system) are flagged as relevant to pricing. Set this flag if you wish new condition records to be saved as relevant to pricing in future. If you wish to flag existing condition records as "relevant to pricing" in retrospect, use report RWVKP01U.
Kindly help

Best practice followed on CONTRACT

Hello All
What are the best practice needs to be followed on changing the material data information ,
Step 1. created a contract for Material and PO released agains contract. later some times.
Step 2:- material master changes some important piece of data like order Unit/ Deletion or material group changes on MATERIAL.
step 3:- We do the same for the materials in the contract and deactivate the w.r.t line and create a new line item so that my new line item picks up from material master.
What are the other incidents material master team may do on material master so that i can inform the contract team to do the same.
What are the actions material master team may do on MATERIAL and which is relavant for contract data.so that i can alert CONTRACT and MATERIAL master team. so that communication will be seemless.so that every thing perfect and sync.

Purchase Requisition for Order BOM components ?

Dear Members :
Can I generate purchase requisition for Order BOM components from VA01 ? Mine is TAQ - the header itm cat and TAE for sub-items (finished prod) . While navigating within Sales Order and branching to a particular component's shced. line - the pruch req col is blank. The schedule line cat for the sub-item is CT.
Could someone please explain the configuration steps I need to maintain for the above ? What I am expecting is when I save the Sales Order it should create Purch Req for the components which do not have enough stock.
Thanks
Atanu

Hi :
Thanks for your advice. Couple of things :
1. In my system in auto acc assignment, I already have consumption acc under posting key GBB. Now I am getting error in VA01 - which states that "The system was not able to determn a consumption acc for purchase order item with acc assignment" and also suggesting to address "GBB posting key". I made the following changes for CT :
    movt : 101
    order type : NB
    item cat : 0
    acc assignment cat : F/C
2. Obviously SAP is expecting a consumption GL acc, which though is there under GBB-AUF from my existing setup. For generating purch req this is strange becoz I haven't yet gone upto PO generation step nor released the supposed to be Purch Req. for BOM component - and this is before I save the Sales Order .
3. In spro->acc grouping for mov type; I don't see the following combination in SAP ie,
101(MvT) - B (MvT) - GBB (TEKey) - AUF. I need B instead of F which is already there and is for production order but the BOM comp has to be for PO but the combination is not there.
Do you think this could be the reason that SAP couldn't find the GL acc ?
4. Also my purpose was not just to raise a purch req every time the sales order is created for the BOM components - only if there is shortage in stock - but then again for CT once I assign the above, it doesn't allow to check the boxes like Availbility , Requrmnt etc. (??)
Am I clear and could you please suggest me what I am missing or doing wrong ? What movement type do you siggest to enter in CT fields.
Thanks so much for your time.

Hi,
For third party order, either you can create the material master with item category group as BANS, so the system will automatically pick TAS in the sales order for the material or you can change the item category manually to TAS in the order.
This will trigger a PR, based on the PR a PO will be generated.

Purchase Requisitions, Purchase Orders and Receipts

Hello all,
The following is the sequence for Purchasing
Purchase Requision -> Purchase Orders -> Receipts
However I have a requirement to bring in the related Purchase requisions,purchase orders and receipts from 11i into R12 instance.I can do that using the open interfaces.However How do i link these 3 objects together?
I intend to import the purchase orders first and then import its related purchase requistions and the receipts...In doing so how do i link them together.How do i know that this purchase order was created from this Purchase requistion or this receipt is meant for this purchase order? What is the joiing columns in the base/open interface tables?
Thanks
AJM

Hi Venkat
1. To perform ATP do we need all the issues(Sales Orders, Deliveries) and receipts(Purchase Requisitions, Planned Orders) in APO?
Yes you need all the mentioned elements above in APO to do ATP check. Again, you can also extend the scope of the check to further more receipts and issues. All depends on your configuration of scope of check.
3. I guess in Apo the planned order and process order is a single elment. Is that Correct?
Yes, technically a planned order can be a planned process order or a planned production order.

Best Practice while configuring Traffic Manager for Azure Website

Hi Team,
I want to understand What is the best practice while we configure traffic manager for Azure website.
To give you the base, Here let me explain my requirement. I have one website which 40% target audiences would be East US, while 40% would be UK and rest 20% would be from Asia-pacific.
Now, What I want is Failover + Performance based Traffic Manager Configuration.
My thinking:
1) we need to create 1 website with 2 instances in each region (east us, east asia, west us for an example). so, total 3 deployment of website. (give region based url for the website)
2) create traffic manager based on performance and add 3 of those instances. that would become website-tmonperformance
3) create traffic manager based on failover and add 3 of those instances. that would become website-tmonfailover
4) create traffic manager and ?? don't know the criteria but add both above traffic manager here and take your final url for end user.
I am not sure (1) this may be the right approach or not (2) if this is right, in the 4th step which criteria we should select while creating final traffic manager round-robin/ performance/ failover?
after all these if use try to access site from US.. traffic manager will divert that to US Data-Centre or it will wait for failover and till that it will be served from east-asia if in configuration, east-asia is my 1st instance?
Regards, Brijesh Shah

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your quick reply. actually question is bit different. Let me explain you different way.
I was asking for recommendation from Azure Traffic Manager team. whether my understanding is correct or not.We want Performance with Failover.
So, One azure website we have: take an example todoapp. I deployed that in 3 different region. now, I want to have performance based routing as well as failover based routing. but obviously I can't give two URL to my end user. so, at the top of that I will
require one more traffic manager. So,
step 1: I will create one traffic manager with performance criteria named: TMForPerformance.trafficmanager.com where I will add all those 3 instances (all are from different region so, it want create any issue.)
step 2: I will create one more traffic manager with failover criteria named: TMForFailover.trafficmanager.com where I will add all those 3 instances (all are from different region so, it want create any issue.)
step 3: I will create one final traffic manager with performance criteria named: todoapp.trafficmanager.com where I will add these two traffic manager instead of 3 different region's website.
Question 1) Is it correct structure if we want to achieve Performance with Failover or Is there any better solution?
Question 2) in step 3, what criteria we should select? performance/ round robin/ failover

Best practices to create Universe on top of SAP BW

Hi Experts,
I would like to know the Best Practices for Creating Universe on top of SAP BW.
1. is it advisable to create Universe on top of SAP BW CUBE directly. in my case , we are starting a fresh BW implementation for one application on SAP BI.7 ; and BOE 3.1
2. if we create a universe on top of BEX Query, what need to be done if want to upgrade to Business Objects 4.0 version.
3. if we create a universe on BEX Query, will SAP is going to support universe on BEX for future releases.
4. what is the support period for BEX and its integration with Business objects.
Thanks
Bhnau.

Hi,
1. is it advisable to create Universe on top of SAP BW CUBE directly. in my case , we are starting a fresh BW implementation for one application on SAP BI.7 ; and BOE 3.1
First go through by below link.This guide describe how you can create universe based on Cube and Query and what features are available via Cube and Query.
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
You can check on the Page 12 in the PDF what supported by Cube and BW Query while designing of a universe.
Best practices says to design universe on top of one generic query for one Cube because CFK,RFK can not generate in the universe on top of BW Cube.
2. if we create a universe on top of BEX Query, what need to be done if want to upgrade to Business Objects 4.0 version.
check below links.

Planned orders to Purchase Requisitions and orders

Hi,
Just wondering if this is possible. I heard this from a client and want to confirm if it's true.
The client owns the technology and has contractors manufacture the product.
A planned order is generated by the client and based on the type of contractor, some of them are converted to Purchase orders and others to Purchase requisitions.
Is this possible? I was thinking, planned orders ans purchase requisitions are completely different entities. Planned orders are for internal manufacturing which are subsequently changed to Production orders and purchase requisitions are for external procurement that would be converted to Purchase orders.
But converting the Planned orders to Purchase Requisitions and orders is what I could not digest.
Is there any possibility of this case?
Thanks.

Hi,
We can create planned orders & convert them into purchase requisition or into production order.
In the material master ,mrp2 view give the procurment type as 'X', for both internal & external procurement.
Also include purchasing view for this material.
When you run mrp using md02, a planned order will be created for the rquirement (Eg:say 100 nos given using t.code md61).
Use t.code md04 to view the stock/requirement list.
Here double click the planned order, you can see tabs such as convert into purchase requisition, into production order, into process order.
Click convert into pur req & enter 50 Nos. Then a pur req will be created which can be further converted into pur order.
Again come to md04 screen.
You can see a planned order & pur req for 50 nos.
This planned order can be converted into production order & 50 nos can be produced internally.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Regards,
Senthilkumar SD

BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING DISCOVERER DATABASE CONNECTION -PUBLIC VS. PRIV

I have enabled SSO for Discoverer. So when you browse to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer you get prompted for your SSO
username/password. I have enabled users to create their own private
connections. I log in as portal and created a private connection. I then from
Oracle Portal create a portlet and add a discoverer worksheet using the private
connection that I created as the portal user. This works fine...users access
the portal they can see the worksheet. When they click the analyze link, the
users are prompted to enter a password for the private connection. The
following message is displayed:
The item you are requesting requires you to enter a password. This could occur because this is a private connection or
because the public connection password was invalid. Please enter the correct
password now to continue.
I originally created a public connection...and then follow the same steps from Oracle portal to create the portlet and display the
worksheet. Worksheet is displayed properly from Portal, when users click the
analyze link they are taken to Discoverer Viewer without having to enter a
password. The problem with this is that when a user browses to
http://host:port/discoverer/viewer they enter their SSO information and then
any user with an SSO account can see the public connection...very insecure!
When private connections are used, no connection information is displayed to
SSO users when logging into Discoverer Viewer.
For the very first step, when editing the Worksheet portlet from Portal, I enter the following for Database
Connections:
Publisher: I choose either the private or public connection that I created
Users Logged In: Display same data to all users using connection (Publisher's Connection)
Users Not Logged In: Do no display data
My question is what are the best practices for creating Discoverer Database
Connections.
Is there a way to create a public connection, but not display it in at http://host:port/discoverer/viewer?
Can I restrict access to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer to specific SSO users?
So overall, I want roughly 40 users to have access to my Portal Page Group. I then want to
display portlets with Discoverer worksheets. Certain worksheets I want to have
the ability to display the analyze link. When the SSO user clicks on this they
will be taken to Discoverer Viewer and prompted for no logon information. All
SSO users will see the same data...there is no need to restrict access based on
SSO username...1 database user will be set up in either the public or private
connection.

You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
So that it won't ask for password.
Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information

Table name for Open purchase requisition / Purchase Order Number's

Hi,
I want to delete some Asset Number's. When i m deleting those, system give a error message You cannot delete. Open purchase requisition exists..
From where i can found those Purchase Requisition / Purchase Order Number's. Is there any table, where i can found these numbers.
Regards..

hi,
In the SAP Order Transactions ME21N, ME22N and ME23N, you can select by purchase requisitions in the document overview (selection variant -purchase requisitions).If you do so, it is possible to select explicitly by open and released purchase requisitions...
OR
In Transaction MEPO, in the document overview you can select by purchase requisitions. Here you can select only open purchase requisitions and execute...
