Create PO as direct material

Hello SRM Experts,
SRM 5.0 (classic scenario)
we like to create a PO, from a QUOT after BID, with transaction type "ECDP" (Direct Material). Therefore we select in QUOT the transaction type "ECDP" and press the "Create PO" button. I can´t see any differents to the transaction type "ECPO" (Normal PO). The Backround is that we like to create a PO without account data (e.g. G/L account, cost center), but we got the same error message both "ECPO" and ECDP". The error message from backend is ME 083 "No cost center".
Has anybody of you an idea how I can use the direct material functionality in QUOT.
Thanks for you help in advance.
Kind regards
Axel

Direct material

Hi experts
I am using transfering external requirements from R/3 to SRM for direct material, in SAP documentation to use external requirements and create POs as direct material I should use badi BBP_DP_PROD_CHK_BADI, but my external requirements when tranfered to SRM become POs as direct material and mentioned Badi is not activated.
Why this is happening?
Thanks

PR is not creating in Backend ECC for Direct material Shopping carts

Hello Experts,
i have one issue, due to some reasons we deactivated 'Order as Direct Material' button on our SRM shoppingcart screen. But again due to the requirement we activated the 'Order as Direct Material' button. Now the issue is when we are creating a shopping cart by using order as direct material button no Purchase Requisition is creating in the backend ECC. we are in SRM 5.0. we already implemented BADI: BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW. we are able to create PR for the shopping carts which we order normally i.e for non-direct materials (with out using that order as direct material button).
please guide me on this!!!
thanks in advance!!!!

Hello,
You can use note 1173815 to debug if follow-on document determination is occurring in backend.
Also, you will be able to check if any error happened during this process.

Different follow-on document created if 'Order as direct material' ticked

Dear Colleagues,
I have a product category Q4334104 replicated from backend system Q43 (clinet 341). The sourcing is never carried out from this product category. Secondly, target system configured is the same as the source system Q43 (client 341). BAckend object defined is reservation if the item is subject to inventory managed otherwise purchase order if the item is complete else purchase requisition.
Now, coming to my scenario, when I create a shopping cart with free text item, it creates a purchase requisition in the target system which is fine.
Now, I take a product belonging to the same product category but inventory managed. So, When I create a shopping cart in SRM with the tick 'order as direct material' , I expect it to create a reservation in the target ERP system. But the system behaviour is confusing here. It tries to create a local purchase order in the SRM system.
Only after unticking the option 'order as direct material, the system creates a reservation in the target system which is the expected behaviour here.
Why different behaviour is observed when 'order as direct material' unticked?
Secondly, the system takes a particular document type for the local PO although different values are assigned to the transaction type 'DP_PROC_type".
Full marks if you can help me to understand the above system behaviour.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hello,
The direct material scenario is technically similar to the extended classic scenario, at first the system will create a "local PO" in the SRM system (with the document type BUS2201) and the system will copy this PO into the backend system with the document type BUS2012.
The extended classic scenario works if the purchasing organization and group are local and not linked to backend organizations and groups.
The purchaser user is assigned to this organization.
Please check the settings for the direct material scenario in the link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm40/helpdata/en/8d/f6a93e08503614e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Plan Driven Procurement - Direct Procurement: Process Flow
In extended classic scenario or when ordering as direct material, the system ignores the responsibilities defined in the organization structure.
A local purchasing group is determined, instead of the defined in the organziation.
So, classic scenario cannot be used with direct material.
Kind regards,
Ricardo

Error in Order as direct material with PPS activated

Hi,
Using SRM 7.0, EHP-1 activated PPS. Before activating PPS direct material scenario worked fine. After activating the PPS I getting the following error.
No account assignment exists; enter an account assignment.
Created new account assignment category and assigned that in u201CSet Default Account Assignment Category for Direct Materialu201D. Even after that also I am getting the above error. Please suggest where I am doing mistake. Only for down payments purposes we activated the PPS. Now SRM system is only working for purchase orders with account assignment and getting the above error immediately after pressing on order as direct material. I am not able to transfer Purchase requisitions also. In SLG1 getting the above error.
Please suggest what to do.

"order as direct material" indicator is not coming in Shopping Cart.

Hi Experts,
I am trying to perform the employee self service procurement for a direct material. I have performed the below config and attribute maintenance.
1. Defined a new transaction type and new number range for local PO in SRM Config
2. In R/3 Back-End, for the same document type, I have ensured that number range is present
3. For my Root Organization, I have added "DP_PROC_TY" for "Transaction Type: Create PO manually" maintained with my above transaction type defined
4. I have selected my local P Group and added 001 Product Category with R/3 Back-end system as source system in "Responsibility" tab
After that I have started created Shopping Cart expecting to find "Order as Direct Material" indicator in Shopping Cart details.
But I could not be able to see that indicator in Shopping Cart. What I see is Product Category 001 but different P Group is coming.
Is this the reason, what I am missing. Please help.
Thanks & Regards

Source of supply doesnu2019t work for SC items ordered as direct material.

Hi there.
We are working in SRM 5.0 with classic scenario.
We are doing a SC with material code.
We create a SC with two identical items. The only difference between items is: one item is order as direct material and the other one not.
The problem is that for our item order as direct material, the system doesnu2019t propose any ECC contract or any ECC info record. But for our item not order as direct material, the system propose us ECC contract and ECC info record.
So for SC items orders as direct material, the system never proposes any source of supply.
However, in transaction BBPSOCO01 (Carry of sourcing) the systems propose source of supply OK for SC items with and without direct material.
Any suggest?
Thanks and regards.
Raúl.

Hi,
The issue might be because when you choose, 'order as direct', the scenario changes from classic to extended classic, hence only local contracts are proposed in this case. Since you don't have anything local, you will not see any source of supply. Try using bbp_sos_badi instead and call all backend contracts using fm meta_sourcedeter_getsos_multi.

Backend Source of Supply not supported for Direct Material in SRM

Hi ,
When creating S/C or PO in SRM for Direct Material , backend Source of Supply ( i..e Purchasing Info Record or Backend Contracts ) not availble to select as a sourc of supply .
In our case, we are planning to maintain the sourc of supply (PIR or Contracts) in back end MM system only , then how can pick up the same ?
Can anyone please suggest on this .
Regards
NAP

NO Prashanta,
It is still pending for me . i just raised OSS message to SAP ...but SAP saying that
" I checked and found that in the classic scenario , Direct Materials cannot use backend contracts. The behavior described above is in accordance with the system design. Only local sources of supply (local contracts and interlinkages) can be
used in the direct material scenario, as well as as in the extended classic scenario . Therefore the above error message which you get "Specify a valid contract" is valid."
I replied with the doubt that "Thanks for reply but we are not convenience, since what we learnt from
different SAP Blogs, Below SAP help and SRM Experts discussion forum
is, for Ext Classic Scenario (since for direct materials it always
tales by default Ext Classic Scenario, although we implemented Classic)
Local SRM contract and Supplier List are the possible Source of Supply.
As per SAP help documentation for Self-Service Procurement (Extended
Classic) on below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/e0/f6be5157a24340bf7b1279854a52e1/frameset.htm u201CYou can assign the sources proposed by the
system to items automatically (for example, if there is a single
contract for the item being procured) or manually in the case of a
quota arrangement, contract, or supplier from a supplier listu201D
As per SAP help documentation for Sourcing Using Supplier Lists on
below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/d8/33ec56f17f4404806072749f7e764f/frameset.htm u201CIn supplier lists, you can also manually allocate
back-end contracts from specific systems. This enables more effective
sourcing for back-end contractsu201D
In the Supplier List there is facility to enter the ECC Contract
Number. Supplier List donu2019t support local SRM contract. It supports
only ECC Contract /item.
As per your reply, do you mean to say that Source List is not a valid
Source of Supply for Direct Material in Classic Scenario (i.e. Ext
Classic scenario)? If not, then why the backend ECC Contract displays
as a Source of Supply, when we check the u201COrder as direct Materialu201D?
Kindly suggest"
Lets see.what SAP now replies.
Simultaniously I'm looking some enhancment
If you have nay update/soultion then please share with me.

Regarding direct material procurement in Classic scenario.

Hello SRM Gurus ,
We are implementing SRM5.0 classic scenario, (SSP with CCM).
As per standard , Shopping cart for a direct material (Requisition for
stock) will create a follow-on document in SRM only (controlled extended
classic scenario).
Client's requirement is that it should create a back-end PR in R/3 system.
Reason being, the client needs to have only one indenting system and one
procurement system.
which BAPI in R/3 for PR/PO has to be used to create PRs or Pos from SRM. Similarly, RFC which FMs have to be used to update status in SRM.
How to bypass the standard replication mechanism.
Please help me..
Thanks and regards,

Hi
Why not go for the BADI -> BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE
Or
Alternatively using SPRO settings, you can change the standard behaviour of the system based on various attrbutes e.g., for a Particular Product, Item category, etc.
Here is the Path ->
IMG -> Supplier Relationship Mnagement -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic settings -> Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations, Purch. Orders)
Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations,
You perform this step only if you create your Materials Management documents in a backend system.
You specify the documents that are to be created in the backend system for a requirement coverage request.
The following documents can be created:
Purchase requisition
Purchase order
Reservation
You enter a product category (such as office supplies, or hardware) and/or an organizational unit. The organizational unit contains the purchasing group that is responsible for procuring products in this category.
You can enter the product category generically, such as Office*.
Note
The backend system is determined using the product category in the requirement coverage request item. The item also contains the organizatinal unit.
You can use the Business Add-In BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE if you wish to implement a different logic for creating documents in the backend system.
Example
If purchasing group 01 wants to procure materials from the category Raw Materials, a reservation is to be created every time.
If materials in the category PC are to be procured, a purchase requisition is to be created every time.
Activities
1. Enter the organizational unit and/or the category.
2. Enter a source system.
3. Choose the procurement type.
Reservation if stock is available, otherwise external procurement
The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management and sufficient stock quantity is available in the warehouse on the requested date.
Always reservation for materials subject to inventory management
The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management, irrespective of whether stock is available.
Always external procurement
The system does not create a reservation, but always procures the item externally. In this case, you specify the type of external procurement.
The following options are significant if the system cannot create a reservation (for example, if there is no stock available or for a non-stock item) or the system must not create a reservation (choose Always external procurement).
Purchase order if item data complete, otherwise purchase requisition
The system always tries to create a purchase order. If the item data is incomplete (for example, the vendor or price is not known), the system creates a purchase requisition from the item.
Always purchase requisition
The system always creates a purchase requisition.
Always local purchase order
The system always creates a local purchase order.
Hope this will help.
Please reward suitable points.

SRM MM-SUS for Direct Material ( i.e. Ext Classic Scenario)

Hi Friends,
We are planning to have the Classic Scenario in SRM 7.0 with SUS. So it will be SUS-MM scenarion and it supports only for Classic Scenario,
But when there is a case of Direct Materials [ Manual or through PDP ( Ext Req) ], it is SAP by defaullt setting that , system determine Extended Classic Scenario.
Now , if SUS-MM supports only to Classic scenario ,then we can collaborate the Orders of Direct Material genereted through Ext Classic Scenario in SUS ?
Confused over these contrast . Can any one suggest that how to get both one in SUS-MM ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for reply.
It seems here is some confusion. PDP of Dircet Material is standard SRM secarion where we can soure the requieremnets generted in various SAP Module like PS, PM , SD, APO..etc. So We just hav eintenstion to source the requiermnet in Sourcing cockpit to create the PO .
Okay. For time being , forget the PDP of Direct Material.
Just take the Direct Material ( For which we mention inventory or we procure for stock) only.
By SAP standard / defualt setting , for Direct Material , local PO is generted ,althoug we have mentioned Classic Senrion setting for the same . And it is Extended Classic Scenarion. Right!
At another side , it is SAP standrad that SUS-MM senarion support for only CLASSIC SCENARIO.
Then , my conern is how we can send these Local orders for dircet Material to Supplier via SUS ? Wether it is not possible ?

Puchasing Org Error with Order as Direct Material

Hello Experts,
We are running SRM 4.0 and Classic Scenario from last 6 months. Now I have been requested to configure for Direct procurement.
We have one Purchase Org which is a backend purchase Org. The plants for PORG is also maintained.
We have also defined the backend Purchase groups. All of the groups have product category responsibilities defined. The functional tab has the backend purchase group and the backend system defined.
In order to use Direct Procurement in Classic Scenario what configurations are required? When I click Order as Direct Material I am getting the below Error. Please advice .
System LSYSED1400( SRM system) of purchasing organization O 50000004 differs from target system LSYSED1400 (Item BrixWorx Engine for Sun Solaris (with em )
-thanks in advance

Hi Shilpa,
are you trying to create classic PO for Direct Material?
In SRM it is possible to create a classic PO for Direct Material, as this is only possible using the Extended Classic Scenario. In a classic scenario, SRM expects to create all PO docs in the backend (pointing to logical backend system). For Direct Material the logical system is set to SRM. That's the reason for the error message "... Differing System ...".
With the settings local PO, local POrg, local PGroup etc. you are able to process and issue a local PO in SRM for Direct Material, but there is no linkage to the backend. One option to consider is a decoupled scenario - extended for Direct Material, classic for all other.
Thanks,
Claudia

Direct material procurement in PDP scenario for classic mode

Dear Gurus,
We have configured classic scenario in our SRM 7.01 with backend system ECC 6.0 Enhpk 5. We have PDP scenario for direct material as one of the requirement. The requirement generated in MRP in the ECC backend system will be sent to SRM SOCO for sourcing. Once the right source of supply is found, the follow-on purchase order needs to be created in the ECC backend system in direct material mode.
However, the SAP SRM standard supports only indirect material procurement in PDP scneario for classic mode. How to enable the direct material procurement? Could you suggest any BAdi to be used here?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hello,
You need to activate the Bsdi 'ME_REQ_SOURCING_CUST' for transferring the purchase requisitions from ERP to SAP SRM.
Some details about the method involved for the same are mentioned below :
Mehtod : IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~ACTIVE
->when parameter CV_AUT_SOURCING is set to true, external sourcing (e.g. SRM system) is active in ERP system
->when parameter CV_EXT_RFX_IND is set to true, RFx can be created out of PR directly from ERP system using application CPPR
->when parameter CV_EXT_SC_IND is set to true, PR in ERP system will be transferred to SRM using application CPPR
Method b. IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~CHECK_EXTERNAL_SOURCE
Here you need to maintain the logic / condition for which PR has to be transfered to SOCO.
Example
IF ( is_req_item-ekgrp = 'SRM' AND is_req_item-matkl = '100' )
cv_ext_sourcing = cl_mmpur_constants=>yes.
ENDIF.
When this BADI is active whenever you save a PR with say the purchasing group as SRM and material group is 100 (as per sample code above), system automatically triggers the PR transfer from ERP to SRM by xml's.

Rahul
