Contract as a replacement of Purchase Order

Hi,
The requirement of my client is that they want to use Contract (Quantity or Value based) as Purchase Order in business purpose as well as in MRP. It means they want Contract to appear in MD04 as a result of MRP and if the contract is open (in terms of quantity or value), the system should not generate planned order or purchase requisition as a proposal.
Further to that they also want to do Goods Receipt and Invoice Verification against the Contract.
As far as I know, this can be possible only in case of Scheduling Agreement with schedule lines not through Contract.
It means Scheduling Agreement can replace PO in this scenario but a Contract can't.
I need an expert advice in this matter.
Can any one provide some clarification?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the useful clarifications
I have further noticed that .. If Contract No. & Item No. is not put in the source list; the contract is not fetched automatically in Purchase Req & Purchase Order. Price is picked from Info Record (not from Contract). Also, In Release history of Contract the PO created doesnu2019t appear.
It means the Contract is not at all respected in MRP, Purchase Req & PO if Contract No. & Item No. is not put in the source list.
Is it a Standard Behaviour of SAP or some setting is required?
Can any one provide some idea for better clarification?
Thanks in advance

How relate Procurement Contract and Purchase Order

Hi!
We are going to use Oracle Procurement Contracts and Purchasing in Oracle Apps R12.1.3 version.
I think that modules have to work together.
We activated Procurement Contracts and profile "PO: Contracts Enabled"
We have in "Purchase Order" actions 'view Contract terms', and functionality to chose Contract template and clause, "Manage Contract Documents" - that all.
Can we create from it, or relate with this PO a real Contract, that we see in Contracts Workbench?
Edited by: DenisM on 20.02.2013 14:44

Denis:
Use Oracle Contract Terms module as the module for defining contract templates and clauses. Once you define it in this module, the templates will be available in Oracle Purchasing.
I am not sure if the Contracts Workbench is integrated with Oracle PO. It was not in earlier versions but it maybe in 12.1.3. You may want to check on that.

Batch determination for Sub Contracting Purchase orders

Hi
I want to allocate automatic batch number while creating the Sub Contracting Purchase order (item cat: L).
System should dynamically allot the batch, no manual process.
This automatic batch number allocation should be work for sub contracting PO's not all Purchase orders.
Please suggest the process.
Thanks

Hi SUNIL,
I haven't done such thing so I'm nut sure whether it works what I'm writing, but according to the manual is it possible to assign automatic batch creation to movement types.
As I understood in SPRO you can:
1. Set the internal batch assignment:
Logistic General > Batch Management > Butch Number Assignment > Activate IBNA
2. Define the creation for the movement type you want:
Logistic General > Batch Management > Creation of New Batches > Define Batch Creation for Goods Movements
But I think you can't make difference between 'normal' MVT 101 and 'L' MVT 101. Isn't it possible to create a new MVT for subcon-GR?
In this case maybe you could realize your idea.
But defining a new MVT just because of thi might be troublesome...
Maybe you can find better solution.

Contracts and Purchase Order system messages

Hi All,
I have a couple of questions relating to system messages that are related to purchase orders created with reference to contracts.
1. When should message 06 155 called? If I create a purchase order with reference to a Value Contract (WK) where the total purchase order value is equal to the Contract Target Value I would expect the message to be called as either a warning or error depending on the system settings (it is currently set as a warning). However in my system the message is not generated.
I can get the message to generate if I put the PO on hold, then change the value of the PO above the contract target value and then set it back to equal the contract target value but this hardly seems the correct way the message should be called.
2. Is there a standard way to restrict which purchase order document types can be created with reference to a contract?
Cheers
Chris

Hi Jurgen,
thanks for the response. I know that the message should be called if the total PO value is equal to the Target Value of the contract, however in my system this doesn't happen.
Example
Contract has Target Value of £1,000,000 (Target Qty is 0 and Price is £1)
Field ktwrt = £1,000,000
PO created with qty 1,000,000 and price £1 (i.e. value = £1,000,000) but the message is not generated. If I change the qty to be 1,000,001 then message 06 042 is correctly generated.
Is the message 06 155 generated correctly in your system? or I am missing someconditions that don't match between my PO and contract?
Cheers
Chris

A purchase order needs to be created, and the vendor is known
Business Process Description Overview
A purchase order is a legal document issued by the buyer to the vendor to supply materials or service at the agreed price, terms and conditions. The Purchase Order forms the basis for all follow-on activities like Goods Receipt, Invoice Verification, etc. The Purchase Orders can be created directly by entering all the required data, copying already created purchase order, with reference to an RFQ/Contract or with reference to a PR.
Purchase Order creation is possible only if sufficient budget allocation is there for the Fund Centers. It is not possible to create Purchase Orders for a Vendor who is blocked for procurement or not maintained in source list for that item. Also it is not possible to create PO for Quantity more than the PR quantity.
All the price components which are to be paid to vendors and requires to be inventoried has to be included in PO.It is possible to add different vendors for delivery costs. The tax codes should be correctly maintained in PO for the purpose of Cenvat availment etc.
The payment term defaulted from Vendor Master or RFQ has to be verified and changed if required.
The incomplete Purchase Orders can be saved as HOLD document and later completed and saved thru Change PO menu

Purchase Order creation using Contarct

Hi,
The refer the following scenario:
We have created two company code 1000, 2000; both having diferenet Currency.
We have created Plant 1000 under Company Code 1000 & Plant 2000 under Company Code 2000
We want to create only one Purchase Organization 1000
We want to create one contract for Purchase Organization 1000.
Using the same Contract, we want to create Purchase Order for two different Plants 1000 & 2000.
Is is advisable/ possibe to create Purchase Order for two different Plants 1000 & 2000 belonging to two different Company Codes having different Currency using common Purchase Organization?
Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have created a Purchasing Org COMM.
I have not assigned it to any Company Code
When I am creating a Contract using ME31K, afer entrering Vendor, Agreement Type, Agreement Date, Purch. Organization & Purchasing Group, the System gives a pop-up with the following message:
The purchasing org. COMM has not been assigned to a CoCode Please enter a company code
What does it mean?
As per my thinking, we can create the Contract for one company code, say 1000;
Down the line, now we want to create Purchase Order for the Plant 2000, which is not assigned to Company Code 1000 --- Will the System allow us to do the same??

Customize Standard Purchase Order template

We have requirement to customize the 'Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet', XSL template. I am trying to follow the below approach;
1. Use standard oracle template 'PO_STANDARD_XSLFO.xsl' and customize it as per client requirements.
2. Create a template definition 'XX Custom Purchase Order stylesheet' similar to 'Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet' in 'Purchasing' responsibility and upload my custom template.
3. Navigate to Purchasing Super User > Setup > Purchasing > Document Types > 'Purchase Order Standard' > Update Document Type layout > replace 'Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet' with 'XX Custom Purchase Order stylesheet'.
Please let me know if i have missed any steps.
Appreciate your time.

Another approach is to create a new RTF using the tags generated by the PO Output for Communication program. The tags are generated by the columns in the PO_XXX_XML views.

SORT RESULT_PACKAGE BY CONTRACT.
loop at RESULT_PACKAGE INTO WA_ty_t_TG_1.
WA_NET-V_EBELN = <RESULT_FIELDS>-CONTRACT.
AT END OF CONTRACT.
netsum = WA_ty_t_TG_1-NET_PO_VAL + NETSUM.
ENDAT.
WA_NET-netsum = NETSUM.
APPEND WA_NET TO T_NET.
CLEAR:T_NET,NETSUM.

READ TABLE T_NET INTO WA_NET WITH KEY

CLEAR: WA_NET-NETSUM.
endloop.
<RESULT_FIELDS>-/BIC/YNET_VAL = netsum.
CLEAR:NETSUM,<RESULT_FIELDS>-/BIC/YNET_VAL.
ENDLOOP.
I have coded above one..let me know what mistake I have done.in the bolded loop I have given INTO instead of Assigning, because I need all records which assigns to WorkArea, but while executing DTP its leading to shortdump.if I replace Assigning statement,its working fine. but zero values in output( I think wrong in logic part)
Let me know the brief coding part if I am wrongly coded.

Goods receipt through Inbound delivery for Sub-Contracting Purchase order

Hi
I am trying to do goods receipt for the inbound delivery /shipping notification created for a sub -contracting Purchase order. The Finished product and the component part are batch managed, When I try to perform PGR in VL32N , I am getting a blank screen as error message and Goods receipt is not getting triggered . I checked for OSS note and found 645119 close to my issue but not an exact match . We are in ECC 6.0 with EHP 4. Can some one clarify whether it is possible to post GR through inbound delivery for a Subcon Purchase order .
Thanks in advance for your immediate response.
with regards,
Joseph Anand B

Hi, The issue may be due to this - the component is batch managed but the batch data is blank in the component list of the Purchase Order Item. Or a batch is maintained in the PO item component list but the stock for the same batch is not available with Vendor, i.e. stock with some other batch may be available.
In a receipt for Sub-cont PO, 101 happens for FG and 543 happens for component. But there is no option to provide the component details in a delivery. So in standard system, when 101 happens via a delivery, 543 will be posted in the background. So any error in posting 543 will result in a blank screen without any error message.
You can fix this by maintaining correct batch in the PO component list.
But there is another issue - you cannot do 'cancel posting' and 'return delivery' for this receipt. Only you can reverse the inbound delivery and you should know that the recevied stock shouldn't have been processed to do reversal of inbound delivery.

Copying of Service items from contract into Purchase order

Dear Friends,
We have upgraded from 4.6B to ECC6.
Previously when we create Purchase Order with reference to Contract(i.e.Release order),we select service line items by selecting service selection button from PO and select the service line items from Contract,then whatever the line item whether line item 30,or line item 60 copied from Contract is copied into line item 10 of Purchase order in 4.6B version.
But in ECC6 ,it is copied into other line item but not copied into line item 10 of purchase order.
Please suggest ,what needs to be done, what went wrong.
Regards,
Dayanand

Hi,
Pl. elaborate whether the quantity 1 is appearing at Item Overview level or at Item Details level. At the item overview level the quantity will aleays be 1 with unit of measure as AU. At item details, you will be able to view the actual quantity of services copied from contract.

Sub Contracting Purchase Order

Hi All
What is table name and field name to see the alternative BOM status for Sub Contracting Purchase Orders?
Example:
I have a Material :Shaft, which has two alternative BOM's.
When i placed the Sub Contracting order to the Vendor. System will explore the BOM and display the list of components.
How to know that Which alternative BOM system taken to the PO?
Can any body please suggest me the table name and field name?
Thanks
SUNIL

Hi
if you are working with Alternative BOM in sub contracting. the system works as follows
first of all you should mantian the Sub-Con Info record for subcon that in purchasing view you will have the production version, here you have to attach which production version you want to use asd as you know that the production version depends on your BOM and this BOM will inturn get exploded into PO, as you know that info record is the combination of Vendor and Material, only for this combination your alternate BOM will explode
Hope i answered your question

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.
