Classification of Purchase Info Records

Hi ,
Not sure if anyone can help me here - I've searched hi and low, but here goes....
Is it possible to add classification to a Purchase Info Record?
Essentially info records will be created by a custom procedure and have a series of "normal" fields updated such as Material Vendor Plant etc....,however we also want to store N characteristics against this Info Record.
Has anyone come across this?
Many Thanks
Tony

Thanks for the replies people.
To elaborate, we need to store a price on an info record outside of the main R/3 application area, although where this data is stored is still an SAP instance. We will call this the "other SAP instance"
The main R/3 system will then call an RFC in this "other SAP instance" and get the price for that info record.
The data on the info record on the "other SAP instance" will be created in some cases with Material and Vendor and in other cases (quite deliberately) on a more general level. The general level data will be the characteristics of the material.
When the "other SAP instance" is called thru RFC , this RFC will inspect these info records to achieve a match and calculate the price. This price is then returned back to the calling system.
So essentially, the classification must take place at info record level. I need a standard means to add classification to the info record.
Hope this help to clarify the requirement.
Thanks
Tony

Updation of purchase info record during cost is released / additive costs

Hi Gurus,
Is there any enhancement available to to update the purchase info record with thecondition type
fild during release of materials using CK40N /CK24.
ie Whenever a cost is released , the object should populate the overhead condition type (ZUB1) on the INFO record
Another requirement is
Whenever there is adding/updating additive costs (ck74n and ck75n), the object should populate the corresponding condition types on the INFO records (ZFR2 for freight cost; ZOC2 for duty cost).
If you have any suggestions kindly replay.
Thank you very much.

Jayaram.

Hi,
But my next question is how can I know how much cost centers will be for some document? If I need to define number of cost centers in advance, then this solution is not very flexible. The best solution would be if I could add values to classification flexibly (for example: one time 3 values and the other time 1 value).
:-Check box additional values in values tab of char. that will allow to enter flexible number of values any time
The other question is about values of parameters. For each cost center I need to enter two values (cost center number, and costs for that cost center). So, for each cost center I need to add 2 values. Is that possible using classification?
:-Create classification with chara. cost center, cost center value and check box additional values as above that will allow you to add values for cost center and cost center value.

Purchase info record does not exists in purchase organization 1000

Hi experts,
          I have created a new enterprise structure in SAP. when i am creating a PO its picking the correct info record, but when i am doing GR, its giving the error as 'purchase info record does not exists in purchase organization 1000". I have maintained everything perfect. the only thing i have changed is I have moved the open and close period from 11-2002 to 12-2008 in MMPV.
         Please give me some suggestions, where it can go wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Poorna.

Hi Guys,
          Thanks for all yours responses, Actually what deepak said was right, but in my IDES system i am not able to create new entries in assign plant to std purchase org. I found the database view for that, V_001W_E its for table T001W. So i looked into that table i found that std purchase org was given as 1000. i made direct entries in that table, i thought the reason for this may be due to , that i copied plant from 1000. After making entries , i did not got the error message that was i am previously getting.
Thanks & Regards,

Report for Materials expired with price on Purchase Info Record

Hi Experts,
Can anyone of you advice a report in SAP that can identify the materials where the price has expired on Purchase Info Record.
Thanks in advance.

Nagarjun

HI,
ME1P will be used to monitor the changes in terms of pricing conditions you made to your info record via Transaction MEKP.
In case of SA, you will have to build up your simple query by joining two tables A016 and KONP.

How to change the Qty Conversion on a Purchase Info Record.

I am trying to change the Quantity Conversion for a particular Purchase Info Record as it is incorrect. The inputs are greyed out on the Purchasing Organization1 Data Screen. I have also gone to the Conditions screen and the Menu Selection is greyed out when I go to the Menu for EXTRAS->Conversion Factors. The Conversion Factor has been changed at the Additional Data Screen of the Material Master. Any help would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks in Advance.

I have solved this problem. From the Condition Record I went to the Menu Path, GOTO->ADDITIONAL DATA. From here I was able to go to the Conversion Factor and make the changes.

Purchase info record is not showing in po.

Hi all,
while creating purchase order i m giving purchase info record no but values from info record
is not updating in purchase order.plz help.
best regards.

Hi Nissinha,
There are so many ways to be analysed for the cause. Because PIR -Purchase info record:
Please check in order of priority while diagnosing and finding for the solution:
1. Check wether the PIR is created for the Vendor of that perticular material or not.
2. Check for the validity (valid upto which date) mentioned in the PIR
3. Check for the type of Info record (based on Item category) it is such as Standard, Sub contracting, etc
Hope it clarifies

PO type UB is pulling in a Purchase Info Record - should this happen?

Hi All,
I've been looking around the net few a few days, off and on, but I can't find an answer.
A colleague has created a Purchase Order type UB but it is bringing in a Purchase Info Records that relates to a different receiving plant. This is bringing an incorrect tax code into play.
The work around is currently as follows
Go into the (incorrect) PIR that is being engaged
Remove the tax code
Process the PO
Go back into the PIR and change the tax code back to it's original setting,
Am I correct in assuming that PIRs are not engaged in a UB transfer?
What should be done to stop this from happening
Apologies if this is obvious or if I have not given enough info.
Cheers
Colm
Edited by: Colm McCann on Dec 10, 2008 2:56 PM

I know that I need info records for UB order if I work with APO.
Are you sure that the inforecord that is pulled is for a different receiving plant?
Is the info record really created at plant level, or only at purchasing org level?
And both plants share the same purchasing org?

Mass Creation of Material Group Purchase info record

Dear All
Currently we are developing a custom transaction in SAP to mass upload Purchase Info records from a flat file (excel)
We are using the standard Function Module ME_POST_INFORECORD to create the PIR s
We use two different number ranges for Material and Material Group PIR s. This is set up already in SPRO>MM>PIR>Define Number Ranges
Purchasing info record for stock material (Group - IL ) have a number range X
Purchasing info record for material group (non-stock mat.)(Grpup -IN) have number range Y
So when we create a Material PIR manually in SAP it picks X number range and Y number range for Material Group PIR
But when we create Material Groups PIR via the new custom transaction it creates PIR s with Number range X.
Upon checking understood that the standard FM ME_POST_INFORECORD is always defaulting the Number Range Group as IL internally . Seems like a harcoding done by SAP
Wanted to know
- Is there any another FM we should consider while creating Material Group PIR s. Any other Function module provided by SAP for that ?
- Or what can be other way to resolve this ?
Please let me know your views on this.
Regards
Shyam

Hi,
For mass upload from flat files you can consider LSMW with different options e.g. IDoc:
Message Type INFREC
Basic Type INFRECMASS01
or simply via recording of transaction (this should be using exactly the same NR as you have when doing this manually).

Conditions in scale pricing in purchase info record

Dear Experts,
Need your valuable inputs on the following issue:
We have entered into an agreement with a vendor with the following clause:
1 PAC of material ABC costs Rs. 13000/-
In every month , the first PAC bought will be priced at Rs 13000/- and any quantity further bought in the same month will be priced at Rs. 6000/- per PAC.
For example:
07th July: PO placed for the material at 13000/-
15th July: Po placed for the material should automatically be at 6000/-
01st August: PO placed for the material at 13000/- and so on.
We looked up for Scales in Purchase Info Record and found to be valid only on quantity basis within the validity period of the info record.
Our concern is how to map the scaling condition for every month, whereby, the pricing of the purchase order in PO is system-dependent.
Looking forward to get the best solution,
Regards,
Nihar

I do not think its possible with scale maintain. Scale is used for picking price as per quantity.
Here, your requirement is against validity. Your price will be fluctuated against validity period.
You can maintain the price for the validity period as per your requirement in info record.
But unfortunately you have to maintain the price for every validity period for every months.
Otherwise you have the option of development, where you can write your own logic for the price picking in PO.

Error in CIF for Purchase Info Records

Hi,
I am trying to CIF Purchase Info record from R/3 to APO but its getting stuck during activation "generating delta Model".
Can anyone please help in this regards, I have already read the link related to BD22 but which message type do we need to delete. Also what can be the other reason.
I have CIFed Plant, material, vendor in the same sequence also I have extended material to vendor manually in APO.
I have one more issue the vendor code 1000000 in R/3 is getting create as 0001000000 in APO can this cause a problem
Thanks,
sanjog

Hi Sanjog ,
Iam not sure why you are looking at tcode BD22. It is not relevant to PIR transfer .
Also to CIF the PIR for a material from R/3 to APO, it is not necessary that the material should exist in the vendor location in APO. (You need to create the material at vendor location only if it is required specifically for your business scenario).
Now , to identify what is causing the problem , you have to check the inbound queue in APO and outbound queue in R/3. The tcodes are SMQ2 and SMQ1. You can also use the queue manager /n/sapapo/cq in APO . Check what the error message is and correct the master data in R/3 accordingly. Then delete all blocked queue entries (/sapapo/cq can be used ) and then run the PIR CIF activation again.
Thanks

Mass Creation of Purchasing Info Records

Hi all,
we want to change the vendor for a certain amount of articles (old vendor e.g. 102, new vendor e.g. 768).
To order the articles (maybe approx. 1000) by the new vendor, we need to create new Purchasing Info Record (for vendor 768) for every article bought by vendor 102.
Is there a standard transaction to handle this? MASS_EINE doesn't seem to fit to my problem.
Regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
You need to go for creating new Inforecord for Article, Vendor, Porg and Site Combination .
You should not go for Mass Maintanace for changing vendor.
Go for Uploading by LSMW or BDC for ME11 tcode.

Automatic creation of purchase info record

Hi friends
I could not find check box in RFQ (ME41!N)or in Quotation (ME47N) for updating/automatic creation of purchase info record.
Thanks
Sunny

Hi,
you can maintain the info update for the required quotation through ME47.choose the required line item and click on the "item detail" icon and put the necessary value for info update:
1-     No update
2-A     Update with or without plant
3-B     Update with plant (if no plant ban)
4-C     Update without plant (if no plant requirement)
Indicator: Update Info Record
Determines whether:
The purchasing info record for this vendor and material is to refer to this PO item, and
The item is to be valid for the entire purchasing organization or just for the plant.
Use
The indicator determines which prices and conditions are suggested in future PO items.
Prices and conditions can apply to an entire purchasing organization or to a single plant within a purchasing organization.
For example, if you create a purchase order for a plant for which an info record has been defined at plant level, the purchase order is based on the conditions in the plant info record and not on the conditions that apply to the purchasing organization.
Procedure
Enter the relevant plant key:
A
Updating of the document number is effected at plant level as long as there is a purchasing info record at plant level. Otherwise the document number is updated at purchasing organization level.
B
Updating is effected at plant level if plant conditions are allowed for the plant.
C
Updating is effected without plant data if plant conditions are not necessary for the plant.
Dependencies
The level at which updating of the document number may be effected is defined for each plant.
Hope this will clarify your query.
Thanks & Regards,
Bijay Pradhan
