Closed tick and vendor material number in PR

Dear Gurus,
I have three questions.
1. I have created a PR with vendor material number, but initially vendor material number did not copy to the PO. Then I assigned a desired vendor along with vendor material number. It got copied to the PO. After that I created another PR with vendor material number and without vendor code. That vendor material number copied to the PO. Why is this?
2. I have created a PO for full quantity given in the PR, but why closed tick in the PR is not set automatically.
3. Can set this close tick in the PR when creating the PO.
Thanks,
Chameendri

Hi,
3. Can set this close tick in the PR when creating the PO.
NO,when you create Po for fully qty of PR then in PR itself Po creation status will be thereon status tab at item level and you can not create another Po if PR qty is fulled
2. I have created a PO for full quantity given in the PR, but why closed tick in the PR is not set automatically.

Report to find a material by a mfr part number and old material number

Hi,
Is there any standard report to find a material by a mfr part number and old material number ?
For the moment, we are using MM03 to search articles by these selection criterion.
Thanks,
Julien Girard

Hi
As there is no stsndard report use the SQVI to find out the details, It is very simple , please follwo the below steps.
Use Txn SQVI, enter the Quick view field say- ZMNFR and click the create button, Enter the title in the next screen i.e Report name- Say - Manufacturer's Part No. Details, in the same screen you need to enter MARA for the data from table/database view, please leave the 1. data source as Table only and the radio button as Basis mode only. Click the tick mark , you will go to the next screen,
You will notice Quick viewer Intial screen
Open the node general material data
Select the Buttons besides the fields MARA-MATNR for material number, MARA-MFRPN for manufacturers part number, and MARA-BISMT for old material number. You can include any other field if you wish to have in your output. You will notice two check boxes against each field, one is for input screen field and the other is for outputf field. But currently you do not bother about and select both the check boxes or any other field you wish to have as input and output as well. Once selected all the fields afer clicking the check boxes save the total arrangement. and then in the same screen use the execute button or use F8 to find out your report input screen.
Now enter the Material number for which you wish to know other two details in the report and execute again you will find the report output.
Please ensure that you are maintaining both the details in material master basic data1 and purchasing view if you wish to get out output

Stock analysis based on vendor material number

Hi
Is there any report which can show the total stock of a material with split on vendor material number (I am entering different vendor material numbers upon goods receipt) or any query I can write to get the above result?
The requirement is as follows: I will order an item with name say X and vendor supplies the item with different name say Y. So I am maintaining vendor specific name in vendor material number. Now I want to see the stock X with what quantity of it is Y.
Thanks

Dear Praveen
You could use the following;
Input and Output Conversion of Material Numbers
Use
Like every other part in the SAP system, an inventory-managed manufacturer part has an SAP-specific material number that uniquely identifies it. If this material number is uncommon or unknown to the vendor, you should consider the following (especially in the purchasing process):
·        You can enter a part with its Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) and its External Manufacturer, and not just with its material number. This is possible because of the input conversion of material numbers.
·        The system displays this part with its Manufacturer Part Number and the External Manufacturer in lists and screens. This is possible because of the output conversion of material numbers.
You have to increase the maximum field length for input and output values in the Output Length for Material Numbers field to enter and display the MPN and the manufacturer code in one field
Prerequisites
You have made the following settings in Customizing:
·        You have activated the conversion exit for material numbers.
·        You have maintained a delimiter. The delimiter separates the MPN and the external manufacturer when they are entered or displayed in one field.
·        You have specified a maximum output length for material numbers. This means that the fields for the long material number are scrollable, and the output columns for lists are wider.
You configure and activate the conversion exit for material numbers in Customizing by choosing Logistics - General ® Interchangeability of Parts ® Set Up Conversion Exit for Material Numbers.
Features
Input Conversion
If you have activated the conversion exit, you can enter the relevant MPN instead of the material number in the relevant input fields.
If the MPN is not unique, you enter the external manufacturer in the same field, separating the MPN and the external manufacturer by the delimiter defined in Customizing.
You have defined: as the delimiter.
Enter 45L700W:36121 (Manufacturer Part Number, Delimiter,and External Manufacturer) for the part, instead of material number 1011. If the MPN is unique, you only have to enter 45L700W (the Manufacturer Part Number).
You can now scroll the input field for the material number. This allows you to enter the maximum output length for material numbers, which has also been defined in Customizing.
Input conversion gives you an alternate and additional input option. You can still enter the ERP material number to identify a part.
The system determines the correct material number from your input, and passes it to the program logic. The system handles your input as follows:
·        If your entry contains the delimiter, the system splits the entry at the delimiter, interprets both parts of the entry as the Manufacturer Part Number and the External Manufacturer respectively, and searches for a part corresponding to these entries
·        If your entry does not contain a delimiter, the system interprets your entry as an (ERP) material number, and searches for the corresponding part in the material master. If this is unsuccessful, the system interprets your entry as an MPN, and searches for the corresponding part.
If the system cannot determine a part clearly, or the search is unsuccessful, it issues an error message.
Value Range for MPN on the Selection Screen
The system converts the MPN into a material number internally.
To ensure that the system correctly interprets the value range for an MPN that is entered as selection criteria, when the conversion exit is activated, the system provides both the material number and the MPN as selection criteria in the selection screen.
Output Conversion
If the conversion exit is activated, the output conversion ensures that the system displays the MPN and the external manufacturer on screens and in lists, separated by the delimiter in the field or column that usually displays the ERP material number.
If the Output Length for Material Numbers field in Customizing is not long enough to display both the MPN and the external manufacturer, the system displays the MPN, if it is unique.
If the MPN is not unique or the output length too short, the system displays the ERP material number.
The system displays parts with the output length defined in Customizing. In addition:
·        You can scroll the output field for the material number on screens.
·        The system adjusts the layout of lists to the output length.
List Formatting
If you use the inventory-managed MPN, you have to change the list formatting as follows:
·        Variable length of the material number in reports
In cases of the automatic conversion of the material number into an MPN and external manufacturer, the system takes account of the Output Length for Material Numbers field (defined in Customizing) when it structures the lists for selected reports. This ensures that columns are aligned, line breaks are correct, and the lists can be read.
·        Adding a field for the external manufacturer
The external manufacturer should also be displayed in lists because the MPN, into which the material number is automatically converted, is not always unique.
In Customizing, you have defined whether the external manufacturer should be displayed with the MPN. The system adds the field for the external manufacturer immediately after the field for the MPN in lists and on the screen.
You can display the external manufacturer with or without an active conversion exit.
·        Sorting by MPN, not by material number
You can sort some lists by material number.
You can sort by MPN in cases where the MPN is displayed instead of the material number.
with kind regards
Sundar

Validation of vendor material number in IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MRM

Hi folks,
Scenario: Inbound EDI vendor invoices received as IDOCs.
I'm using Logistics Invoice Verification process code INVL to receive and post vendor invoices on to the ERP2004 release of R/3.
I have purchasing info records setup with the vendor material number.
When I process an inbound vendor invoice, I can put in a customer material number i.e. a material number existing in material master in E1EDP19-IDTNR with qualifier E1EDP19-QUALF = 001. When I do this, R/3 checks that the material number is valid and refuses to post an invoice if the material number is invalid - this is good.
This means that the EDI program parameters with the 'Check Material Number' enabled is working as expected.
Now when I only have a vendor material number i.e. E1EDP19-QUALF = 002 an E1EDP19-IDTNR = vendor part number, R/3 posts the invoice even if the vendor part number is invalid - IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MRM does not seem to be validating the vendor part number. The document posts whether I use a valid vendor part number or an invalid one - what am I missing?
Satish

I can answer by words of Axel Angeli - top level SAP R/3 consultant and R/3 cross-application development coach, the author of classic book "SAP R/3 Guide to EDI, ALE and Interfaces":
"SAP R/3 delivers a serious of predefined EDI programs. Many project administrators see them as standards which should not be manipulated or modified. The truth is, that these IDoc processing functions are recommendations and example routines, which can be replaced by own routines in customizing."
and
"SAP R/3 is delivered with a series of predefined IDoc types and corresponding handler function modules.
Some of the handler programs have been designed with user-exits where a developer can implement some data post-processing or add additional information to an IDoc.
You must always see those programs as examples for IDoc handling. If the programs already do what you want, it is just fine. But you should never stick to those programs too long, if you need different data to be sent."
So now you can feel free to customize
Regards,
Maxim.

Vendor material number

Hi Gurus,
For ROH materials, we have our own material numbers and if we take printout of po's our material code is being printed. But our vendor requires their material number reference to be printed.
is it possible? if yes where to do that.
Regards,
naras

you can configure Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) functionality.
Step 1 -
In customisng under Lo General - Material Master - You have to create a MPN profile.
Step 2 -
Create normal material under material type ROH or Traded as required. Under purchasing tab , maintain MPN Profile,Manufacturer's part number(Vendor material number) and Manufacturer's code.(Vendor Code)
This is a material in which you will maintain stock, use in BOM etc. This is your internal material number. This number will not be used in the PO.
Step 3
Create a new material each for your alternative materials under Material type HERS. Under this you will create material which is supplied by your vendor.In this material you will link the internal material number as created in step 2 above.
Step 4
Create a PO by using material number created under material type HERS.
Step 5 - Do a GRN
MPN process works like this :
Order is created for HERS material but whenever you will do GR against this PO, stock and other reports will get updated under material code created in step 2 i.e normal material created under material type ROH or traded. Thus HERS material is used only for ordering purpose.

How to use Vendor Material Number in Purchase Order Creation - ECS Scenario

Hi SRM Gurus,
We are in Extended Classic Scenrio - SRM 5.0.
We want Vendor Material Number to be printed in the Purchase Order Layout. I remember in R/3 we have inforecord, wherein we have vendor Material number. Where do we maintain vendor material number in SRM. Suggest a suitable solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramkumar

Hi
Please refer to BBP_PD transaction to get the SRM Shopping cart (use Object type - BUS2121) / Local PO details (Use Object Type - BUS2201).
<u>Please use the following useful links to refer in this case.</u>
<b>Re: PO Display
Vendor material no is not replicated in R/3
Re: PO Display
Re: SRM PO SMARTFORM

Re: SRM PO SMARTFORMS
You need to copy the standard SAP smartform BBP_PO to a custom smartform say - ZBBP_PO.
SRM SPRO Configuartion Settings ->
In SPRO -> SRM-SRM server-Cross Application basic Settings ->Set output Actions and output format->Define Action for output document.
Select Action profile as BBP_PD_PO, click on processing type, choose smart form print or fax or e-mail as per your requirement and
change PO name as ZBBP_PO, in this case.
Incase you need any assitance, let me know.
Hope this will help.

Vendor material number in purchase order

Hello,
I have the following problem :
When i create a purchase order (transaction ME21N), the vendor material number (field IDNLF) will be suggested from the purchasing info record.
It isn't the case, the vendor material number is empty.
I don't understand why.
Do you have an idea ?
Thank you

Hello,
Vendor Material Number; Material number used by the vendor, Usually we saw this field in Info records.
We can see the same field in ME21N in Material data tab ( Item level of the PO), If Vendor and Material combination have correct info record and if suppose user has maintained Vendor Material number field, then while creation of PO for the combination of particular material and vendor system will get Inforecord price in PO and system will populated Vendor Material number in Material data tab of the PO in item level.
Thanks and Regards

ME11 : Vendor Material Number Unique for Vendor

Dear.
When I create or change the vendor material number of an info-record I need that system check that donu2019t exist another material of same vendor with same vendor material number.
How can I do that ?
Thanks.

you would need a user exit to check this directly, I dont any for info record.
Alternative you can write a small ABAP that searches duplicates and runs once or more often a day and sends a spool file to a dedicated user.

Purchasing info record for vendor's material number ONLY?

Hello gurus,
we have materials that must be ordered with refernce to a contract. We purchase these materials only from one vendor and exclusively using that contract (only one source of supply). We do need purchasing info records to store the vendor's material number.
Now, the problem is that if we have one contract and a purchasing info record, the system interprets the PIR as a second dource of supply. So, when I create a new PO, the price is automatically taken from the PIR and not from the contract.
Is it possible to create PIR's for the vendor's material number without creating a second soucre of supply?
Thanks in advance
Alicia
PS: I do know that i can use order lists but that does not solve the problem when manually creating a new PO...

why dont you maintain the vendors material number already in the contract item?
why do you create an info record that has a different price than the contract?

I just checked ME1M and I'm able to see Vendor Material number there in the selection criteria (IDNLF).

How to include vendor catalog number on purchase order?

Is there a way to have the vendor catalog number print on the purchase order? Or does it have to be manually typed in each time in "Vendor mat. no." under the "Material Data" tab? Thank you!

Hello Vanessa,
If you are using ME21N to create a PO, the vendor material number (EKPO-IDNLF) will be determined in include LMEPOF5W:
    IF rekpo-ebelp NE space AND rekpo-idnlf NE space AND
       rekko-lifnr EQ ekko-lifnr.                           "530554
      lf_idnlf = rekpo-idnlf.
    ELSEIF aekpo-ebeln NE space AND aekpo-idnlf NE space AND
      aekko-lifnr EQ ekko-lifnr.                            "530554
      lf_idnlf = aekpo-idnlf.
    ELSEIF reban-banfn NE space AND reban-idnlf NE space AND
         ( reban-flief EQ ekko-lifnr OR                     "548217
           ( reban-flief EQ space AND
             reban-lifnr EQ ekko-lifnr ) ).
      lf_idnlf = reban-idnlf.
    ELSEIF kekpo-ebeln NE space AND kekpo-idnlf NE space AND
      kekko-lifnr EQ ekko-lifnr.                            "530554
      LF_IDNLF = KEKPO-IDNLF.
    ELSEIF FEKPO-INFNR EQ *EINA-INFNR.
      LF_IDNLF = *EINA-IDNLF.
    ENDIF.
    CH_IDNLF = LF_IDNLF.
ENDIF.
As above, the vendor material number will be firstly taken from the reference doc. If there is no vendor material number found in the referece doc. system will take the data from the vendor master. Otherwise, you have to enter it manually in the PO item.
For the question that if it can be printed, can check whether it is defined in print form MEDRUCK ( by using transaction code SE71).

Diana

Modifying Vendor materal Number.

Hi All,
I am running a tool to get the out put in an excel file, the out put fields are as follows:
New Record, Vendor,Material, Material description, Vendor material Number, Amount etc
Now I am using another tool to upload this file into SAP, while doing so if i put Amount as 8 it is properly reflected in ME13 how ever if i modify the Vendor Material Number(IDNLF), the change is not reflected,
Is it possible to change the Vendor materal Number in this manner??? or Vendor materal Number(IDNLF) has some other dependencies?
Thanks,
Debrup.

The info record data is stored for a given combination of vendor no,matnr,pur org,plant and info record.Hence if you try to change matnr it would create a new info record.

Material number getting changed in Sales order

Hi friends,
while creating sales order, When I enter some material number,
at line item it is getting changed into some other number.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?.
Eg: I entered material number as 3660 and it is getting changed to 50231960 .
Thanks.
Regards,
Bharat.

there are several reasons that will make this change.
one possibility could be Customer Material Info Record.
Go to VD53 and enter your customer number that you used to create a sales order and also the sales org and disribution channel of that customer and the material number 3660. then check whether it has assigned to the material 50231960
Other possibility could be automatic material determination is active which automatically replaces the material if not available.
reward points if helpful
