Clarification about plant and terms of payment In Master Data:

Hello Gurus,
I have a doubt as follows:
1) In Material master (MM01) we are maintaining Plant as two types.
     a) Plant at organisation leve pop up at the begining
     b) Delivering plant at Sales organisation 1.
So, is there any difference between plant and delivering plant or are they different objects ?
2) Terms of payment in Customer master (XD01)
     a) we maintain Terms of payment customer master at company code level in "Payment transaction"
     b) we also maintain Terms of payment in customer master at sales area data in "Billing Documents" tab
Now Why do we need to maintain at these to levels.
FYI: I have also tried to maintain two different Terms of payment and without any hesitation the system accepts, why ?
What is the significance of it.
Please clarify the above.
Thanks,
Venky.

Hello Venky,
1. Material / Plant
A Material is always stored in a Plant & there would be various parameters to be entered for that particular Plant. E.g. Storage Bin, Picking Area, Negative Stocks allowed in Pant, GR Processing time, etc..
Now the same Material may or may not be sold from the same plant, or even if it is sold from the same plant, there would be different Sales parameters for each combination Sales Organisation & Plant. There Sales Organisation specific parameters are entered in Sales Organisation/PLant view. Tax classification Data, Cash Discount indicator, Sales Unit, Delivering Plant, Division, Minimum Order & Minimum Delivery quantity.
2. Payment Terms
The Payment Terms entered in Billing tab in Sales Area data is copied into Sales order & Invoice.
The Payment Terms in Company Code data are used by FI department when posting direct payment (without reference to Sales Document). e.g. to Offer Cash Discount for paying in advance.
Hope this clarifies,
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

Link between Credit Risk Category and Terms of Payment

Hi,
Is there a link between the Credit risk category and the terms of payment. Where can we maintain this.
For instance, if risk category is x, the top is a, risk category is y, top is b.
Please suggest.

There is no link between credit risk category and Terms of Payment. The Risk Category is assigned to credit limit of the customer which determines if it will be blocked at certain level for sales transactions or just a warning message that the customer is over the limit. For the terms of payment, it just determines when it's due or whether it's overdue or not.

Set Incoterm and Terms of Payment in Bid Invitation

Hi gurus,
    We are using SRM 5.0 on ECS with backend ECC 5.0.
    The requirement is that the user want to set incoterm and terms of payment when they create bid invitation.So the bidder can just follow what the purchaser has set in order not to change the value.
    Anyway we can do this?
    Thank you in advance.

Hi,
If you dont want the Bidder to chnage the values for the fields "terms of payment" , "Incoterm" then you can have 2 options:
1.   Make these fields display only using the BADI BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI".
2. Implement checks acc for these fields in the Bid screen if the bidder tries to change these values thorugh the BADI "BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI".
Also I didnt recieve any mail from your id.Can you pls resend it.If possible send me the doc with your deatiled reqt if i have misunderstood anything.

Moderator: The same as between 'Press F1 on the field' and 'When on the field, press F1'

No Difference in SAP.
"Payment Term" is the short text and "Terms of Payment" is the long text of this field.

Link between service order and terms of payment

Hello experts,
can anybody tell me the link between an order and terms of payment of the current buyer? Which tables do I have to join? Or is there any function module to use for that purpose?
Very urgent!
Thanks in advance
Tanja

Hi Tanja,
instead of directly selecting some data from the DB tables you should read this information via the BOL (c.f BOL Programing - CRM - SCN Wiki for a short introduction).
Using the transaction GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER you can browse through the data model and find the suitable relations for reading the required data. In your case one possible approach to access the data is BTAdminH->BTHeaderBillingSet->BTBillingSetBuAg. Once you have the BuAg BOL object you can simply read the TOFPAYM property.
Best,
Christian

Hello Ravi,
I do not see any email ID field in the cost center master. You may insert the ID in one of the available address fields. You may use LSMW or BDC to upload the same or even mass processing transaction KS12.

Credit management and Terms of Payment

Hi
Can anybody throw some light on the role of Terms of Payment in .Credit Management.
Thanks in advance
Ravi

Dear sankar ravi,
Credit management
Purpose
Outstanding or uncollectible receivables can spoil the success of the company greatly. Credit Management enables you to minimize the credit risk yourself by specifying a specific credit limit for your customers. Thus you can take the financial pulse of a customer or group of customers, identify early warning signs, and enhance your credit-related decision-making. This is particularly useful if your customers are in financially unstable industries or companies, or if you conduct business with countries that are politically unstable or that employ a restrictive exchange rate policy.
Integration
If you are using the Accounts Receivable (FI-AR) component to manage your accounting and an external system for sales processing, Credit Management enables you to issue a credit limit for each customer. Every time you post an invoice (created in FI-AR), the system then checks whether the invoice amount exceeds the credit limit. Information functions such as the sales summary or early warning list help you to monitor the customers credit situation.
If you are using both the Accounts Receivable (FI-AR) component to manage your accounting and the Sales and Distribution (SD) component for sales processing, you can also use Credit Management to issue credit limits for your customers. You can make settings in Customizing to decide the scope of the check and at what stage in the process (for example, order entry, delivery or goods issue) a credit limit should take place. General information functions are also available for use with credit checks.
Features
If you are using both the SD and FI-AR components, Credit Management includes the following features:
Depending on your credit management needs, you can specify your own automatic credit checks based on a variety of criteria. You can also specify at which critical points in the sales and distribution cycle (for example, order entry, delivery, goods issue) the system carries out these checks.
During order processing, the credit representative automatically receives information about a customers critical credit situation.
Critical credit situations can also be automatically communicated to credit management personnel through internal electronic mail.
Your credit representatives are in a position to review the credit situation of a customer quickly and accurately and, according to your credit policy, decide whether or not to extend credit.
You can also work with Credit Management in distributed systems; for example if you were using centralized Financial Accounting and decentralized SD on several sales computers.
Hope this helps you.
Do award points if you found them useful.

Rakesh
P.S. you can send me a mail at my mail id [email protected] for any specific details

Some Quick clarification about 2012 and always on Availability groups

Hi guys, just need some clarification about always on.
I've got plenty of experience with normal SQL Clusters, but just need some clarification around always on availability groups.
I presume with AG, you setup a listener and this becomes your point of connection, IE this is what you use in the you connection string for you applications, so can I use this when I am setting up a new application, and will this automatically make the Database
that's created by the APP, Highly available. ? or do you still have to add it to the AG afterwards. ?
I have also read that you can still point to the installed SQL instance, and you don't need to use the AG group listener, but how does this make your DB HA ? how does the failover work.
I also presume you don't need to use any roles under the MSC anymore.
Kind regards
Mark.G

Hi Mark
I presume with AG, you setup a listener and this becomes your point of connection
That's right, the listener is a virtual network name and you can use this to connect to the primary or secondary replica. Your connections will go in against the primary unless you're using
read-only routing.
so can I use this when I am setting up a new application, and will this automatically make the Database that's created by the APP, Highly available
The first thing you'll have to do is set up the availability group (AG). You can then associate a listener to the AG. I know you're familiar with failover clustering but the mechanics of this are much closer to database mirroring. For every database that's
part of the AG you'll have at least one secondary replica, it's possible to automatically failover to this if you're in synchronous mode.
I have also read that you can still point to the installed SQL instance, and you don't need to use the AG group listener, but how does this make your DB HA ? how does the failover work.
Yes you can do, but from an application perspective you should only do this for databases that are not part of an AG. If you connect to the instance directly and you have a failover your app will no be able to connect to the database (on the assumption your
secondary isn't read-only). App connections should always be via the Virtual Network Name.
I also presume you don't need to use any roles under the MSC anymore.
Not sure I understand this? Do you mean will roles be available in cluster manager? Each AG group will have a role but failover is now controlled through the SQL Server rather than the cluster manager.

Terms of payment/cheque post date issue

Hi guys.
On PO and MIRO terms of payment PD15 is being used. How can I make the cheque date post dated.
Baseline date March 18
Due date April 2
On F-58.
I want the cheque date to be April 2 without opening the next period.
Is it possible at all?
Can someone help me please.
Thanks.

Hi,
I think it is not possible to give future date as posting data unless period is open.
We can do the same by opening two posting periods simultaneously by doing authorization objects in OB52. This object will be tagged to a particular role with specific users and deactivating for all other roles.
Other alternative: We can create a post dated cheque through a manual check by changing the date in the manual check.
Thanks,
Padmaja

Baseline date, terms of payment, net due date in MIRO Parked document

Hi all:
When parking a docuement in MIRO with a PO reference the terms of payment, baseline date, and due date are all determined.
The problem is when we don't have a PO yet, just the vendor and the amount, is there a way for MIRO to determine the terms, baseline date, and due date from the vendor master?

Hi,
Just enter the Vendor in MIro and it should pull the Payment terms from the Vendor master (Company Code Area).
Baseline Date & Due Date are derived based on the settings in the payment term.
KInd regards

Automatic Payment Program Master Data Validations

Hi,
We´re configuring a new payment method for our company code (payment method T - bank transfer). We are using program RFFOM100 to generate the file that has to be sent to the bank. We had to enhance this program because the format of the file that our bank uses differs from MT100.
Now, the automatic payment program validates certain data before it allows an automatic payment to be posted, in particular it checks vendor master records to see if it has the necessary information to fill the MT100 format. Our bank's format doesn't require the same information that the MT100 format requires.
¿How can I stop the automatic payment program from checking for certain information in the vendor master data?
Hope you can help

Hi Rudra,
your Question:-
in Vendor Master we have bank details section.for the vendor to be picked in APP, There the bank should be maintained, which is maintained in FBZP. Please correct me if I am wrong.
In FBZP, we maintain the Bank Accounts which we own and in vendor master we enter the Bank Account No.'s held by the vendors with their banks and this has got nothing to do with House banks that we maintain in FBZP. In some of the cases, the bank key may play a common role.. but this also depends upon bank key, its usage, design etc..
Does the Payment Method have any role to play here?I mean if the payment method is Q(cheques) , is it not needed to maintain the bank details in Vendor Master?
In FBZP, go to Pmt methods in a country.. There you will find a section which says, "Required Master Record Specifications". In configuration, you define for a Payment method, what the system should check, so if you have specified against a Pmt Method, that Bank Details>Account Number Required is a mandatory field, then system will check otherwise not. Usually, in case of Checks, we do not tick this as Vendor Bank Account No. has no relevance in case of check payment.

BC Datasource for Vendor:Payment Transaction Master Data

Hi experts,
Is there a standard Business Content Datasource to extract the master data for fields that are visible in the Vendor: Payment Transactions screen?
I basically need data from tables LFBK, BNKA and I wanted to see if there was a way to do it without creating a custom datasource.
Also, how to you obtain the IBAN#. Clicking on it does not yield a technical name for what table and field it comes from.
Thanks.

there is no such BC for vendor available but still you can check out 2LIS_02_S013, 0MM_PUR_VE_01
and 0MM_PUR_VE_02. They may help.
for me its good to go for a custom extractor with View based on those table. that will be quick and best.

How to derive value from another variable and use it to read master data?

Hi,
I have following case:
First I need to read the value from Cost Center -variable (ZIPCC) and then I need to use that value to determine the home currency of that cost center from the cost center master data table (field: OBJ_CURR).
I know to basic idea on how to do this, but don't seem to get the syntax correct. Could someone point me in the right direction?
So the objects in play are:
ZIPCC = Cost center selection variable (mandatory, single value)
ZIPCUR = Cost Center Currency variable (customer exit, single value)
0COSTCENTER
0OBJ_CURR = Field in cost center master data
Help will be greatly appreciated!
-m

Hi,
Thank you very much for your example I can see that this logic works! However I'm experiencing trouble in selecting the 0OBJ_CURR
This kind of declaration isn't working: "D1 Like /BIC/0OBJ_CURR."
And the same goes for the Selection:
"Select single OBJ_CURR into D1 from /BI0/PCOSTCENTER where COSTCENTER = i_t_var_range-low."
This is where my syntax also went wrong.
0OBJ_CURR is a unit, is there a special way to declare it and use it in the code?
(and 0CURRENCY is a reference unit for 0OBJ_CURR).
Do you have adivce on this?

Update and Overwrite Option in Import Master Data Package

Hello,
In the package Import Master Data there is the option "Select method for loading master data". I don't understand very well what is the difference between the "Update" and "Overwrite" option. I have tested both and I get the same result.
Can someone explain to me what is the difference between both options ?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Option overwrite: all properties are overwritten. If they are not maintained in the source file, they will be deleted in the member sheet
Option update: only the properties maintained in the source file are overwritten. The other ones are not changed.
