Changing a Purchase Order with "BAPI_PO_CHANGE"

Hi Experts,
I am trying to change the Confirmation data for an existing PO using the BAPI "BAPI_PO_CHANGE".
I am filling the PO Number in the "PURCHASEORDER" Import parameter.
I am also filling the "CONF_TYPE", "DELIV_DATE" and "QUANTITY" fields in the "POCONFIRMATION" Table parameter which is specifically the data i need to add to the existing PO under the "Confirmations" tab of the PO.
I am getting all the input data for the BAPI from a file on the presentation server. The file has details of Material Number, Purchase Order Number, Ship to Address, Delivery Date and Quantity.
But i am not able to change any data in the Purchase Order when i test the BAPI. I am getting the following messages in the "RETURN" Tables parameter:
T ID                   NUM MESSAGE
W ME                   667 Max. line number reached (Please always first enter line number manually)
E BAPI                 003 Instance 45317399 of object type PurchaseOrder could not be changed
W ME                   178 Batch SURE not maintained for material 10013537 (please check your input)
E 06                   218 Net price must be greater than 0
I am not sure if i am missing to fill any parameter here.
Kindly help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hello to all,
that is just for documentation. SAP answerd the problem in OSS-304243 but this message is not accessable if you don't have powerful OSS-Users.
This SAP-note might be interesting: 197958
OSS-Message 652796 8.8.2011
BAPI_PO_CHANGE
We can not process confirmations by using the parameter poconfirmation.
The Baps reports always S 06 022 - no data changed.
In the SDN there are some hints telling that the BAPI_PO_CHANGE does notsupport processing of confirmations. More detailled infos should be in
the OSS-Message 0000304243 but this message is not accessable for us.
Can you confirm that the BAPI_PO_CHANGE does not support adding
confirmations? We debugged the BAPI and there is no code for updating
confirmations found.
Best regards

Dear Bernhard,
I regret to inform you that the functionality you request is not
implemented in the R/3 standard system.
Unfortunately it is not possible to change/load confirmations with the
function module BAPI_PO_CREATE/BAPI_PO_CHANGE. Table POCONFIRMATION in
BAPI interface is relevant for Display/List Vendor Confirmation in BAPI,not for update/insert Vendor confirmation in PO.
Furthermore, we recommends that you use Idocs for automatically
entering confirmations. The Message type to use is ORDRSP.
You may read more about this topic in the online documentation.
Please see also following attached note for your reference.

Post changes of Purchase Order with BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST

Hello All,
I have to make changes to a Purchase Order when it is posted. In some cases I have to set the field WEBRE.
What i tried is the BADi - Method ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~post.
Following Code I entered:
DATA: position TYPE PURCHASE_ORDER_ITEM,
        tab_pos TYPE PURCHASE_ORDER_ITEMS,
        position_data TYPE mepoitem,
        xcheck TYPE MMPUR_BOOL,
        kopf TYPE REF TO CL_PO_HEADER_HANDLE_MM,
        position_check TYPE mepoitem.
CLEAR: kopf.
tab_pos = IM_HEADER->get_items( ).
xcheck = IM_HEADER->IS_CHANGEABLE( ).
TRY .
    kopf ?= IM_HEADER.
CATCH cx_sy_move_cast_error.
ENDTRY.
IF kopf is NOT INITIAL.
     kopf->MY_CUST_FIREWALL_ON = 'X'.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT tab_pos INTO position.
position_data = POSITION-item->get_data( ).
xcheck = POSITION-item->IS_PERSISTENT( ).
IF position_data-werks(1) EQ 'D' OR
     position_data-werks(1) EQ 'G' OR
     position_data-werks(1) EQ 'P' OR
     position_data-werks(1) EQ '1'.
ELSE.
    IF position_data-wepos = 'X' and position_data-UMSON is initial.
      position_data-webre = 'X'.
      POSITION-item->set_data( position_data ).   "write data
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
   position_check = POSITION-item->get_data( ). " check if it is written
ENDLOOP.
Now my Problem is, that my changes in position_check are ok, but they are not written to database and I don't know why.
I have made the changes with TA ME22n.
I also tried ME_PROCESS_PO_CUSTcheck and ME_PROCESS_PO_CUSTprocess_item. With method process_item it is written to database, but it is not the right point of time. I just want these changes when the purchase order is posted.
Got anybody an idea, maybe another Exit, Badi or what I'm doing wrong?
Best regards,
Ronny

HI
Try using this BADI
ME_PURCHDOC_POSTED - Define Follow-On Processing for External Purchasing Documents
We have used this BADI for updating the fields in the header and item level; after posting

Change/Create purchase order with customer BSART via CIF

Hi,
we create Purchase Orders in SCM SNP. Those POs are passed via CIF to R/3, but the Purchase orders should be created with a customer BSART.
In SCM the POs currently use the standard ATPCategories. I found an exit in CIF_PO_INBOUND where you can change BSART, but at this point there is no access to the data from APO.
Has anybody already implemented such a scenario?

Hi Michael,
I used CIF outbound user exit from APO , for filtering purchase requisions going to SAP R/3.
You are creating purchase oders in SCM APO and transferring the same to SAP R/3 / ECC through CIF.
We may have two options : Change the data before publishing to SAP R/3 from APO. This happens in APO , outbound .
Otherwise we can change the data in the PO before it is created in SAP R/3 , for this we use user exit inbound SAP R/3.
You have option of changing or enahancing purchase order data inbound in SAP R/3, before the PO is created in SAP R/3.
The enhancement is CIFPUR02.
With this enhancement, you can change purchase order data from your APO system before a purchase requisition or purchase order is created in the ERP system
The enhancement contains the following components:
EXIT_SAPLCPUR_001
You can use this enhancement to change purchasing data (purchase requisitions, purchase orders) in ERP inbound. To do this, you can change the existing transfer data or include additional customer-specific data in your own tables.
Other enhancements in the same
EXIT_SAPLMEPI_004
With this enhancement, you can change the header data of a purchase order before it is created in the ERP system.
The following data can be changed:
Document type (parameter CP_BSART)
EXIT_SAPLMEPI_007
You can use this enhancement to specify the document type of a purchase requisition or purchase order when they are created in the ERP system (parameter CP_BSART).
There are other ehancements which I have not listed.
I assume you can create an enhancemnet projects for incorporating the above enhancements in CMOD / SMOD transactions.
I hope this helps you.
Please confirm.
Regards

Change of Sales Order automatically changes the purchase order

Hi
I am working on a scenario where a as soon as a sales order is created it will also create a purchase order on plant which will supply the item to the plant on which sales order is created.This works fine.
Now when I change sales order( order qty ,requested delivery date, new item added) . On saving the sales order it should change the purchase order which has already been created by updating the schdule lines in the purchase order with new values from the sales order. It is all in same SAP instance.
Here are possible ways I can think of:-
1 Change of SO will create a SO IDOC . The SO IDOC should supply required values to the PO Idoc . The PO IDOC should get posted to SAP to change the existing PO. Client does not have XI so we cant use XI for conversion.
2 Changing a SO will trigger workflow.The Workflow executes ABAP program which takes data from SO and calls BAPI to change the purchase order and sends notification that PO has changed. Which BAPI?
Any thoughts are welcome. We are on 4.7 and we dont have XI. So please do not suggest XI based solution.
Prashanta

Prashanta,
For your 2nd part of question, you can use 'BAPI_PO_CHANGE' to change the PO.
Thanks

Purchase Order with Invoice Plan

Hi,
I need to understand working with Invoicing plans for a Purchase Order. Especially the service PO for the rents and other related services.
How the PO is linked to the Invoice Plan and how the process happens in SAP?
Thanks in advance!

Creating an Invoicing Plan
The following procedure describes how to create an invoicing plan with the pre-Enjoy ordering transactions (ME21, ME22, ME23).
The procedure described is also applicable u2013 with certain restrictions u2013 to the Enjoy purchase order (ME21N, ME22N, ME23N).
If you are using the Enjoy purchase order, you will find:
·         The Invoicing Plan button and the indicators for GR-based invoice verification (GR-Based IV), service-based invoice verification (Srv.-Based IV), evaluated receipt settlement (ERS), and invoice receipt (Inv. Receipt) among the item details on the Invoice tab page.
·         The account assignment among the item details on the Account Assignment tab page
·         The Goods Receipt and GR Non-Valuatedindicators among the item details on the Delivery tab page
Prerequisites
Vendor Master Record
Before you can use the invoicing plan with automatic settlement, the Evaluated Receipt Settlement Delivery indicator must be set on the Purchasing Data screen in the vendor master record.
(If you wish to enter invoicing dates manually, this is not necessary.)
Purchase Order
●     We recommend using a framework order (that is a purchase order with a validity period and a reason for rejection). The invoicing plan can adopt the validity period specified in the PO header.
●     PO items for which you wish to use an invoicing plan must have account assignment irrespective of whether a material with a master record, a material described by a short text, or an external service is involved.
●     The GR/IR control facility must be set up in such a way that no goods receipt (or, in the case of services, no service entry) is expected - only an incoming invoice. If you wish to have automatic settlement, you must also set the Evaluated Receipt Settlement indicator.
If you nevertheless wish to allow service entry sheets for the item (e.g. for information purposes only), you must set the GR Non-Val. indicator.
Customizing
Under Purchase Order à Invoicing Plan in Customizing for Purchasing, you can maintain data such as the desired invoicing plan types, date categories, and date descriptions.
Procedure
       1.      Create a purchase order with account assignment (framework order).
Click to access the item overview (or the overview of service lines if you chose item category D for services).
       2.      Enter the desired material or service, the quantity, and the price.
       3.      Select the desired item and click Account Assignments to access the account assignment screen. Enter the account assignment for this item.
       4.      Click to access the item detail screen. Check that the GR/IR control indicators are set correctly on the item detail screen.
○     The GR and GR-Based Invoice Verification or Service-Based Invoice Verification indicators must not be set.
○     IR must be set.
○     You must set ERS if you wish to have Evaluated Receipt Settlement.
○     If you wish to have service entry sheets purely for information, for example, allow non-valuated goods receipt (i.e. select the GR Non-Val and GR indicators).
       5.      Choose Item ® Invoicing Plan. A window appears, in which the invoicing plan types predefined in Customizing are suggested. Choose the desired invoicing plan type and click Continue.
You can use the following invoicing plan types:
○     Periodic Invoicing Plan
■      You use the periodic invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in each period.
■      The system creates the invoicing dates automatically on the basis of the settings in Customizing.
■      The invoicing date and the amount to be invoiced are shown for each settlement period (e.g. month). In the case of the periodic invoicing plan, the amount represents the total value of the PO item.
■      You can change the suggested dates and block individual dates for automatic invoicing if necessary.
■      You can enter the start and end dates for the invoicing plan.
■      With the Dates from and Dates to fields, you can determine that an invoicing plan does not contain invoicing dates extending over the entire validity period of the purchase order but only for a certain period within that validity period. (E.g. within a validity period from 1.1. to 12.31, only dates within the period 1.1. to 06.30.)
■      With the Horizon field, you control how far into the future dates can be created. If you enter a date rule that adds six months to the current date here, invoicing dates will be created for just half a year in advance in each case.
The system automatically creates new dates if you change the invoicing plan or when you invoke the transaction for Updating Periodic Invoicing Plans. See Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
■      The In Advance indicator allows you to specify whether the invoice is to be created with regard to a prior or subsequent period. (E.g. at the beginning of February, either in advance for the month of February or in arrears for the month of January).
■      In addition, fields with information on the existing invoicing plan are displayed (e.g. the calendar upon which the date determination process is based).
○     Partial Invoicing Plan
■      You use the partial invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in several partial amounts.
■      You get an empty date overview in which you can manually enter the desired dates.
■      If you work with a reference invoicing plan, the system automatically generates dates in accordance with the reference plan.
You have the following options:
●      You create a reference invoicing plan in Customizing for the invoicing plan type.
●      You enter an existing invoicing plan as reference plan directly in the invoicing plan for the PO item.
■      You can flag a date in field B (Billing/Invoicing Rule) as follows:
●      As a down payment (percentage or value)
●      As an invoicing date (percentage or value)
●      As a final invoice
       6.      Click to return to the item overview.
       7.      Click to save the purchase order item with the invoicing plan.
You can then start the automatic invoice creation process during invoice verification.
For more information, refer to the section Settlement of Amounts Due Under Invoicing Plans.
Once assigned to an item, the invoicing plan type (e.g. partial invoicing plan) cannot be changed. If you wish to assign a different invoicing plan type, you must delete the item and create a new one.
Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
If you have assigned a periodic invoicing plan to a PO item but have not initially defined invoicing dates covering the entire validity period of the purchase order, you can generate further dates in due course.
You have created a PO item with a periodic invoicing plan for a certain planned procurement. The purchase order is valid from 1.1. to 12.31. When creating the invoicing plan, you specified one invoicing date per month for the first half of the year. You have not yet planned any dates for the second half of the year because you do not wish information from the invoicing plan to be passed on to purchase order commitments at this stage, for example.
By mid-June, it is clear that the PO is to proceed as envisaged, and you therefore wish to schedule invoicing dates for the remainder of its validity period.
Procedure
To schedule further invoicing dates, proceed as follows:
Choose Purchase order ® Follow-on functions ® Period. invoicing plan
Specify the purchase orders for which invoicing dates are to be generated in the invoicing plan and perform the function.
A log can be created if desired.
Result
The system adds further dates on the basis of information such as the validity period or horizon from Customizing, the purchase order, and the invoicing plan.

indranil

Validity start & end, in Purchase Order with limit

Hi All,
We are using a model of SAP with one type of Purchase Order: we have created a new type of purchase order (ZFOA), that we use for all purchase orders.
Now we want to use ZFOA also for Blanket Purchase Order, instead of the standard type proposed for this scope by SAP (FO).
We have inserted Validity Start & Validiti End as Optional Entry in Customizing.
( IMG - MM - Purchasing - Purchase Ordrer - Define Screen Layout at Document Level).
We have inserted them as Optional Entries, and not as Required Entries, because they are Required only for Blanket Purchase Order. (and we use ZFOA for all ours types of Purchase Order)
So i want to know if it's possible to connect the obligatory requirement of these two entries to:
- ZFOA (type of Purchase Order)
- B (Item category in Purchase Order)
In this way:
1) when i create a PO (ZFOA) without item category B --> Validity date & Validity End are not obligatory fields
2) when i create a PO (ZFOA) with item category B ---> Validity date & Validity End are obligatory !!
Have you got any Solutions??
Best regards
Alba

Thanks very much!
Now i found in MM SAP Manual (SCM 520, Purchasing) a similar example, and it could seem possible:
When creating a standard purchase order with the standard item category, the following field selection key is determined for the Material group field:
Field selection key ME21N (Create/Change Purchase Order transaction):
The Material Group field is an optional field.
Field selection key AKTH(Create activity category):
The Material Group field is an optional field.
Field selection key NBF (purchasing document type NB):
The Material Group field is an optional field.
Field selection key PT0F (item category Standard):
The Material Group field is a mandatory (required-entry) field.
The combination of field selection keys ME21N, AKTH and NBF means that the field is an optional field. Because the Material Group field is defined as a mandatory field in the field selection key PT0F however, this means that the field requires an entry when a purchase order is being created.
I have the same problem for Validity start field, but why if i do all of this things, the field remain not mandatory?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
ALba

Purchase order with zero quantity

Hi all,
When a replenishment delivery is ceated in product view, APO automatically creates purchase order with zero quantity and the replenishment delivery's receipt element. APO does not transfer the purchase order to R/3. Do you have an idea about the problem?

Purchase order with multiple items

Dear Gurus,
I would like to know the possibility of:
1- Creating a purchase order with more than one vehicle (same model [material] and same characteristics)
2- Creating a purchase order with more than one vehicle (same model [material] and different characteristics)
Regards,
MaX

Hi MaX,
as you mention characteristics, I assume this is about variant configuration and vehicles in VMS, right?
In case of VMS (Vehicle Management System), the answers are ...
1.) yes, it's possible
2.) yes, it's possible
You can either configure the vehicles prior to ordering them and you can also change the vehicle configuration of each vehicle selected for the purchase order action (e. g. ORD1) one by one.
Kind regards,
Steffen

Purchase Order with "Error in Process" status????

We are currently using SRM 4.0 in an extended classis setup. We have been live for appropriately 1 yr and half and I have noticed more and more Purchase Orders going into status "Error in Process" when a change (increase value, add line items, change name) has been performed on the PO and then the PO is approved. The PO will sometimes show up in the SRM Administration Tab occassionaly but more than less they don't and we have to search for failed PO to find all the "error in Process" PO's. I have had success with having the user just change something in the name of the PO and then re-order and the PO will then go into R3 but I was wondering is there something in the system other than having the user change the PO that I can do to push the PO into R3. When we have similar issues with confirmation I run tcode SWO1 and use the GUID ID and click transfer to push it to the backend. Is there anything I can do in the backend that will send the PO into R3 and update the status to Ordered giving there is no apparent error in the system?

Hello Robert,
We've been facing a similar issue (we are also in SRM 4.0 Extended Classic Scenario): Sometimes, when the user modifies a purchase order from SRM (for example, to add some new items), the purchase order replication to the backend failed.
In the Application monitor, we had the following backend error:
"Insert Cost Center for Item X"
but the Cost Center value was correct (other items from the same purchase order had the same account assignment).
We thought the problem was related to the function module in the backend which was changing the purchase order, so we put a SAP OSS Note.
In this OSS note, SAP recommended us to implement note 1005615, and the problem was solved.
Check if this note could be implemented in your backend.
Hope this helps you,
Regards.

If i take this effect only one material than My material map get change. How to take this effect on every material.

Vimal

Hi,
When vendor send material , vendor send firght value invoicce, means at the time of PO you don't know it,so it can be consider as unplanned delivery cost in SAP and you can post this cost in MIRO ,on details tab in unplanned delivery field.
In following path you can decide where this value should add in material cost or G/l account in following path
In SPRO ,Maintain settings as shown MM---> Logistic Invoice Verification -->Incoming Invoice --> Configure How unplanned delivery costs are posted

Edit back to back sales and purchase order with dropped ship warehouse

Hi
Our Client request to be able to edit back to back sales and purchase order with Drop Shipped WH which is frequently required according to their business nature in overseas trading.
Kedalene Chong

Hi Daniel,
In the PO Ship To address field, the database/company address will appear until a warehouse is selected. Once a WH is selected, that is the address that will appear. If there is no WH address, the company address is indicated in the field (note: no company name just the address).
If you want a different address/name, you can type it into the ShipTo address field and the PLD template will use whatever is in the field.
If it is because there is no company name on the PO - does this mean you want a different company name than the one in the PO header. If this is the case and the ShipTo address & company name is always the same, you can update the PLD template by changing the ST address field to Text and enter the company name & address you want on the PO. This will appear on every PO regardless of what is in SAP. If you want the company name to always be the same, add a text field above the ST address field and fill in the company name; the address will be pulled from the PO Logistics ST field (per the first paragraph above).
If this is not what you want, please explain in more detail what you would like to do.

How to block changes in purchase order after purchase release

Dear all
Can u please tell us how to block any changes in purchase order after purchase order is released...
(We don't want any line items addition or quantity addition or any changes once purchase order is released..)We wanted this for a particular purchase order type only
Regards
Sudha

Dear Sudha
Yes it is possible to confiquire your system insuch a way where once if the PO gets final relase then it cannot be changed.Only possiblity that will be available for the user to make chanegs in PO is possible when the final release is to be reset and then make the changes.
Release Indicator: specicfies whether the PO documents is blocked or can be processed for the follow functions.
You can define the release indicators you need for your release procedure:
The Released indicator is used to specify whether messages (PO documents in output format) may be transmitted for a purchase order with this indicator.
The Changeability indicator shows the effect of changes to the PO (a change to a PO may require a new release strategy to be determined, for instance).
By means of the Value change indicator, you can specify that the release strategy is to be re-started if a PO is changed and the value of a PO item thereby increases by a certain percentage (e.g. 10%). Set the Changeability indicator to "4 - Changeable, new release in case of new strategy or value change" or "6 - Changeable, new release in case of new strategy or value change/outputted" and enter a percentage in the Value change field.
And after that you can specify release statuese where you can specify which release indicator/status a PO is to have after having been released via a certain release code.
and after release simulation .
Test for the PO change after final release System will not allow you tomake changes by giving the message that the release indicator doesnot allow you make the changes in PO.

Sunny

IDOC generation to change the Purchase Order

Hello Experts,
I am developing the program for changing the purchase order through IDOC.
We will get the file from legacy sytem with control and header and detail record.
So when ever the there is EOR as last field in the detail record. Im updating the IDOC_DATA and calling functin IDOC_INBOUND_SINGLE.
SO when ever there is mulitiple line items changes for single PO.
we will get the file like that for last detail record we will get EOR as last field for last line tiem .
So i m grouping in to one control and one header and one or more detail record and passing to the IDOC_DATA calling functin IDOC_INBOUND_SINGLE.
At this time i m getting error like that header segement is missing
Please help me to solve this issue. Any one worked on similar type of issue please help me.

Cannot see your program of course but check that you populated the header segements.
What does IDOC_INBOUND_SINGLE expect, does it expect a particular Idoc type? in that case you gotta build that first from your file.
Is IDOC_DATA all that this function requires, what are the other input parameters?
