Contracts assigned to APO SNP purchase reqs

I am using APO SNP release 7.
I have a product for which a purchasing contract has been CIF'ed to APO and which is referenced on the transport lane from the vendor to the plant.
If I run a heuristic plan in SNP to generate purchase reqs for the product, will the contract be actually assigned to the purchase req in APO, or will the assignment of the contract actually take place when the purchase req is in ECC (having been passed from APO)?
Thanks for any advice on this...

HI,
When you CIF contract to APO , the external procurement relationships get created for the same in APO which in turn result in creation of TLanes(From Vendor to Plant)
On running Heuristic, the TLanes are picked up from APO itself. It is not that purchase req gets created in APO and when CIFF'ing back to R/3 , it picks the tlane rel data from the contract
For confirmation you may want to test this by ensuring that the Pur  req does not get trasferred to ECC(U have an option saying, DO NOT TRANSFER RESULTS, use this). Please test it in TEST System
Thanks,
SS

  • SNP Purchase Reqs transfer problem

    Hi,
    during the SNP Purchase requisitions immediate transfer, the pur reqs are not transferred from a specific location(although this location and products in it are active), pur reqs are transferred without any problem in other locations/products.
    how to rectify this.
    Vignesh

    Hi Vignesh,
    Check if the publication settings are maintained for external procurement for this location in APO. you can use the Tcode /sapapo/cp2.
    Maintain the location no, publication type should be 21 for external procurement and ECC system accordingly.In case not maintained, kindly maintain the same. This is required for data transfer to ECC system
    Let me know if it helps.

  • Goods recipient field not available when creating a service purchase req

    We are trying to create a release strategy for purchase requisitions with acount assignments K, F and P.  The release strategy would use the requisitioner and goods recipient fields to determine the release group.  The issue is when creating a purchase req with item category D for any account assignment, the recipient field cannot be populated.  It is greyed out.  I tried setting the field as mandatory in the IMG at the account assignment level but it doesn't prompt me for a recipient if item category D is entered.  Is there a way to allow this field to be populated?  I don't care if the value is transferred to the purchase order but I need it populated to determine the appropriate release strategy.  We are not using workflow so that is not an option.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Srinivas, I appreciate the response but the requisitioner field is not the problem.  I can set that field to mandatory.  The issue is I cannot populate the recipient field that's located on the account assignment tab of the purchase req.  The recipient field can be populated if the item category field is blank but as soon as I populate the item category with D for service, the recipient field is unavailable.  Is there a way to populate this field when the item category is D?

  • CDP Purchase Reqs in ECC

    Hi,
    I have a purchase reqs and planned orders with characteristic reqts in APO. How will these be maintained in ECC ?
    All my materials are batch managed and  material types are ROH, FERT and HALB. I'm using CDP to plan based on the batch characteristic requirement.
    Can you guys please tell me this, seems to be a big road block for me.
    thanks

    Hi sapcrs,
    Now I am clear with your question. 
    You maintain class and characteristics.
    Followed by assigning those into the material master
    Assign those into work center if required
    Assign those into the production version
    Then in the routing, double click on the operation number, followed by goto the top menu, Extras ---> Classification
    In this, you maintain the characteristic propagation as required.
    Once maintained, you cif the bom and routing .
    The characteristic propagation maintained will get attached into the PPM
    Please confirm.

  • SNP purchase requisitions inconsistency

    Dear experts,
    i have a question regarding purchase requisitions in the SNP planning. We have integrated purchase info records and purchase contracts from R/3 and we are using them as sources ouf supply in the SNP planning. The SNP heuristic applies purchase requisitions, but it don't delete them if the demand has disappeared.
    The support told us, that the cause of this behaviour is the missing means of transport in the transportation lanes. Purchase requisitions which are generated without means of transport are inconsistent and the heuristic can't delete them.
    I wondered about this statement because the lanes are generated automatically via CIF but without means of transport. Unfortunately we have to maintain them manually now for hundreds of lanes. With means of transport it works pretty fine.
    Did anybody make the same experiences and what was your approach?
    Kind regards,
    Christian

    Hi,
    I thought these points might be of some help to all
    1. SNP heuristic being a infinite planning create pur req even if no source is defined, with source and MOT blank, this behaviour is also observed when no MOT is defined for a lane or the MOT defined is not SNP relevant (i.e. relevant for aggrgtd planning).
    2. You need to define both product specific lane and MOT lane to generate a proper Purchase req with source and MOT.
    3. SNP heuristic cannot delete any transaction data that it cannot create or has not created.
    I hope this helps, also you can use BAPI to define Transportation Lane (Product spec and MOT spec) which is a very convinient and useful way of creating Transportation Lane Master Data.
    Thanks,

  • MM Workflow - Purchase Req Release

    Hi,
    I have set-up MM Workflow to notify a user to release outstanding reqs. I used BUS2105/TS20000159 This works as expected. However the business want a summary of the req details to appear in the message. The standard message has no description. It just shows the Purchase Req No in the Subject Line.
    I was hoping to call BUS2105 ->Method->PurchaseRequisition.GetDetail1. This calls BAPI: BAPI_PR_GETDETAIL and would give me the details I require. I would then populate this data in the body of the message.
    I am pretty new to Work Flow and was hoping you could guide me in the steps required to achieve this please?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Phil

    Hi,
    Firstly create a workflow container element of type as key parameter in the business object
    1 .Create a step in the workflow
    2. Create a task in the workflow
    3. Assign the businees object in the task..
    4. Create a container element in the task
    5. Create binding between the TASK and METHOD of business object
    6. Create binding between Workflow container element and Task Container element.
    7. Then in Basic data of workflow ( HAT ICON) go to start events and assign the business object
        and the event which has to trigger the workflow.
    8. Create a step called mail so as to know whether it has triggered the workflow when the Business
        object had triggered.
    or
    Switch on the event trace (SWELS) and check the event trace SWEL... if the workflow is triggered you would find reciever as workflow..
    If you still have to view graphically the goto
    Tutorials> Business Workflow> and see the topic how to create activity step in the workflow.
    Hope this would help you.

  • Info Record and Purchase Req

    I created a purchase Req and when and I have following doubts in this.
    1. Once I entered plant itu2019s automatically populating storage location. Material maintained for different storage locations but I am not sure how it's populating specific one.
    2. One I click on source of supply it shows me different info record and I selected one of the info record for assigning the source. How this process is different from mE57.To me both look same.
    3. I created the PO and I entered different price then info record and my info update was checked but still it didn't update info record with new price. Any suggestion why?
    Thanks

    hi,
    1. You would be maintaining the MRP view of the MMR....Never forget the possible assignment for the Plant to the storage location is provided in the SPRO enterprise structure for the MM....
    2. Yes the process is merely same...Also never forget that there may be many inforecords for the vendor material, based on the different organisatinal levels provided and for its combinations...
    3. THe price never gets updated in the info record, but always the PO price history gets updated...you can see the PO price history in transaction ME1P...

  • 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

  • Attachment transfer issue from Shopping cart to Purchase req in ECC

    Hello,
    How are you all. Need your expert advise..
    We are trying to achieve functionality where documents which are attached on shopping cart get transfer into Purchase req in ECC (Classic Scenario with SRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0). For this we have done following config / enhancements:
    - Activated BADI "BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW" in SRM with following code for attachment;
    cs_ctrl_att-BE_DOC_TYPE = 'SRM'.
    cs_ctrl_att-BE_storage_cat = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
    cs_ctrl_att-TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'.
    - Created new document type ECC with t.code DC30 for SRM and assigned the object links for EBAN table.
    After performing above task we are able to see Link of the attachment into Purchase req in ECC with document number (i.e. the one we assigned while defining document type in DC30) but not able to open the document in ECC.
    Could you please let us know if there is any settings which we have missed for actually opening documents in ECC?
    Thank you
    Ritesh

    Issue as reported Please let me know why the docs are not uploaded to SRm succesfully .
    I am facing the below weird issue .
    Easy shopping >Shop> eHiring catalog
    Click Transfer to SRM
    Now click on the button ‘Details’ and open the tab ‘Notes and attachments’
    All attchments are names after the 1st attachment and all have the same file type
    Basically you have lost all you attachments here, except 1 (when you click on the link, all links refer to the same document, so not just cosmetic). This is a problem.
    When you order this shopping cart and search for it and open it again, the attachment tab is even completely empty, so now all attachments are lost.
    Something like this, but less severe, happens in the process a bit further.
    - Approve the shopping cart with the applicable approver
    - Log in as Hiring desk:
    Still no original attachments (like job descriptions).
    Now click button ‘responses and awards’
    Click tab ‘Items’ and fill out price ‘40’ euro
    Click notes and attachment tab
    I added 5 attachments
    As can be seen here, the docx becomes an xlsx again, but it looks like it just takes over the 1st file type that was uploaded, it can also be the other way around (xlsx becomes docx) when the 1st uploaded attachment is a document.
    But in this case, when you click on the link, it will open the right file with the right program, so over here it looks like it is just cosmetic.

  • Creating Roles for Purchase Req. release strategy with classification

    Hi friends,
    Since I have created Purchase req rel strategy where I have four release strategy
    1. For Plant 1 When value <= 5000 (Officer) will release , release code 01 release release strategy r1 and rel code L1
    2 For Plant 1 When value >= 5000 (Manager) will release , release code 01 release release strategy r2and rel code L2
    Now the manager will have 2 release code,if  officer is absent he could release the requisition.
    Same has to be done for plant 2
    The release Group and code needs to be assigned to the Roles , could anybody tell  me  where i could know about roles and will be able to create roles and assign authorisation objects to the Roles , and release group and code to the enduser.
    though its a basis job , since I have no idea , I mean I have never worked with Roles ,as now I have created the Release strategy with classification I need to assign authorisation objects to the Roles as I have four release strategy
    1. For Plant 1 lower value of requisition 1 codeL1(Officer)
    2  For higher value of requisition 2 code say Li and L2(Manager)
    Manager should have 2 codes if  officer is absent he could release
    Same has to be done for Plant 2
    Thanks N Regards
    Siddhartha

    Hii,
    Steps:
    1) Create a Role
    2) Add the authorization Object  M_EINK_FRG by taking the manual option
    3) Assign Release Code and Release Grp
    4) Assign the Role to the User ID which has the authorization of the Release Code and Grp.

  • Purchase Req. Document type during MRP Run

    Dear All,
    My reqmt. is that whenever I take MRP run of external procured items, System should generate Purchase

    One thing I fopund was control through OPPR(MRP Group Settings).I have assigned the relevant MRP gp. to materials also,but still after MRP run,system picks up std.(NB) Doc. type for Purchase Req.
    Kindly advise whether Iam missing some settings.

    if you want sytem to create our own type, u can create assigning MRP Group for your material.
    Goto OPPR , Assign your PR Docuemnt type in under "stnd pur order" coloum in External Procurement option in OPPR for your plant/MRP group Combination.
    i hope u already  have created ZPE Pur requsition   doc type

    Iswari,
       Please lookup the same in SDN beofre requesting the same information. Here a copy from one of my previoys post.Hope this helps.
    Shlomo,
    The transaction code for this is SHD0.
    Transaction variants are basically one of the POWERFUL methods to personlize standard sap transactions based on business requirements, without any coding. They are basically used to assign Default values to a screen field,Hiding menu function keys and for things that cannot be done through Configuration.
    Basically the transaction will walk through a recording process and after each screen the screen fields, Function keys will be provided for you to assign a default value for a field and all the other normal field selection attributes.
    After completing the above, you can assign this variant as a standard variant for the standard transaction IW31/IW32.
    Hence in you case, on the initial screen enter the Existing transaction code IW31 and also enter a variant name for the same ex: ZIW31.Once you do that and hit enter the transaction will be called and screen will be displayed for you to enter values like order type,equipment, FL etc. Once you fill the screen and hit enter again to navigate to the header screen of the order, a popup will be shown with all the field names relevant for the initial creation screen along with the field attributes.Here is where you can set the attributes for the field(Like defaulting the order type to PM01 always, Highlighting). After you enter the attributes you can continue to move forward and personlize the remaining screens as required. Once you have personalised all the screen you can save the details and exit out.
    Once you are done with this,If you want to apply this customisation globally across the transaction,You can set this variant as a "STANDARD VARIANT" (look for the same on the menu of the transaction).Now when you call IW31, this particular variant will be called up.Obviously there can be only one "STANDARD VARIANT" for the transaction.
    However if you do not want to apply this generally across the, you can assign a custom transaction code to this varaint for ex: ZIW31 or even name it as per the business process for easier usage.
    This will have to be done by a user with developer access and it can be transported up to Production box from the Dev box.
    I hope this will help you to accomplish what you are looking for. You can find more detailed information in the follwong 46C link.I am sure the same would exists in ECC 6.0

  • Automatic Purchase req to Purchase order

    Hi All,
    I need to convert purchase req to purchase order using ME59. I have maintained all the settings. what happens for the following, if there is a customized doc type for PR and to what PO doc type does the PO get created ?
    Can the PO create to customized PO doc type??

    Hi:
    For auto PO creation (Transaction ME59) for "Z" PR document type,you need to assign "Z" PR document type to standard PO document type or the PO document type you have configured.
    For auto PO creation, PO document type would be selected based on the settings configured in:
    SPRO> Materials Management> Purchasing> Purchase Order> Define document types.
    Here, Assign  standard or configured PO document type  to customized "z" PR document type by selecting the PO document type and mention your PR document type in the screen- Link Purchase Requisition Document Type.
    Hope you must have set all auto PO creation criterion in master data too.
    Hope this would helps you.
