Create Subcontracting PO using ME59 Auto PO

Hello exerts,
We have a number of materials that are subcontracted and want to automate the process as much as possible. We currently create a planned order at originating plant and create the same planned order at the subcontracting plant. We wish to create requisitions at the sub contracting plant and run auto PO for that requirement.
Thanks for your help

Hi,
My planning plant generates a planned order. This planned order is also created at the subcontracting plant (same planned order number). It is at this sub contracting plant that all of my activity occurs (PO, GR, etc) We were hoping to be able to generate a requisition at both plants instead of a planned order, however I no longer believe that this will be possible -- how could you generate a requisitionline Item with two different plants.
I believe that we will have to look at automating our process from the subcontracting plant after the requirement has been generated.
Thank you for your assistance.
Diane

Uploading subcontracting PO using LSMW-BAPI method

I am trying to upload the subcontracting Purchase order using LSMW-BAPI .
Bapi name -Create from Data1
Business Object -    BUS2012                             Purchase Order
Method               -    CREATEFROMDATA1          Create Enjoy Purchase Ord
Message Type     -    PORDCR1                           Create Purchase Order
Basic Type          -    PORDCR102                        Create Purchase Order
In this BAPI - for subcontracting material (component), required quantity & plant values are provided in a input file .
When I trying to upload this PO, PO gets created but component data not getting uploaded.
In documentation of BAPI -under restriction section -there is a restriction for subcontracting.
So can we create Subcontracting PO using this PO.
any solution on same.
Because most of the conversion part is done. Only for subcontracting PO this bapi is not working.
Please anybody know about the solution guide me ASAP.
Thanks

Hi Vikram,
I am also having same scenario , I m using BAPI - BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE To create GR for Subcontracting PO
Can u please tell me how can solve this problem.
Normal GR its working but for Subcontracting PO its not working.

No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

Subcontract PO error VU013 when creating delivery note using ME2o

FYI to the forum, I had a user getting error VU 013 "Document is incomplete: You cannot save the delivery" when attempting to create a delivery note to send components to a subcontract vendor using ME2o.
I spent quite a bit of time researching this on this site and did not find a solution to my problem. As it turns out, the issue was that this part had a serialization profile which required serial numbers to be assigned in the delivery note. Our workaround solution was to change the serialization profile to one which did not make it obligatory on the DN. We then issued the DN and manually assigned the serial number to it, then finally changed the material master back to the obligatory profile.
Ideally, we would have liked the error message to indicate exactly what made the document incomplete (i.e. missing serial number in this case). I am not sure how to do that. Also, I found information regarding activating enhancement for serial numbers in purchasing (in EhP4). Presumably, this would allow me to specify the serial number(s) of the components to be issued to the vendor in the purchase order, and therefore automatically copy this into the subsequent DN. I activated this functionality, but did not get it to work. (Serial number maintenance was not visible in my PO.)
If anyone has successfully dealt with either of these things (changing the error message, or activating the functionality) let me know. Otherwise, I will close the thread, as I just wanted to notify people of my findings regarding reasons for the error, and my workaround.

I think the solution from OSS note will help to know the exact reason of the VU013 error:
335504 - Not possible to save delivery because of VU013
and OSS note
1029482 - ME2O: ME 346, although serial number usage optional
gives more insight and suppress the error message

Need exits or badis for populating fax number while creating PO using ME59

Hi ,
I need to populate fax number for the OA type vendor in partners tab during PO creation using ME59.
these fax numbers are maintained in custom table .
i was not able to find any exits or badis .
Please suggest me if there are any exits and badi to populate fax number in purchase order screen
and also where the fax number is stored after saving PO.
thanks in advance,
Srilakshmi

what is the requirement ?
Fax number to be entered only for that particular PO ? or should it be effective for that Vendor's address ?
In SAP when one enters Vendor number, the address is fetched. When one changes or appends any details in address, new adrnr is created & saved in document header. EKKO-ADRNR
if it is BDC it will be taken care automatically, but when u r doing it through BAPI then it's bit complecated. you may have to first see the current address is default vendor address or user has already changed it. it it is default vendor addrnr then you need to create new Address with Fax number & assign in to that PO. if it is modified address for that PO then get ekko-adrnr & modify that address.

FM to create subcontracting delivery lines

Hi Folks,
We are using one custom function module to create subcontracting delivery lines. Inside this custom FM, we are using ME_COMPONENTS_MAINTAIN function module first to maintain the components and then ME_UPDATE_SCHEDULES_DISPO to create delivery lines for the schedule agreement. Actually the ME_COMPONENTS_MAINTAIN is displaying a screen where you have to maintain the material, wquantit etc. manually. But we dont want that. We need to create subcontracting delivery lines without manual intervention. Is there any FM available for this requorement? Or else can I use ME_UPDATE_SCHEDULES_DISPO directly to create subcontracting delivery lines? I know this query is more functional than technical. Kindly provide your inputs.
Thanks,
Mani

http://scn.sap.com/thread/175138
(about halfway down, Stefan Berger's post)
I've not completely tested this yet, but whilst investigating a similar problem, I came across the above thread. ME_COMPONENTS_MAINTAIN has a paramater "I_FCALL" which if you set to 'X' doesn't call the screens, and just runs in background.
You can also see the variable population by putting a breakpoint in the top of this fm, and then running the frontend transaction.

Issue with PR conversion to PO using ME59 withqty of similar line items

Hi All,
I'm having an issue with PR conversion to PO using ME59
I have a PR with the following line items with all same details except quantity
ex 1
Mat Qty Unit Plant   St Loc
M1   1    EA   P1      S1
M1   29   EA   P1      S1
The PR brings in the Unit automatically
EA is Base Unit Of Measure -Material Master
BT is Order Unit           -Material Master
Conversion
30 EA = 1BT
When i convert this PR to PO using ME59N then i see 2 lines items
M1   1   BT
M2   1   BT
Its doubling the qty (2 BT = 60 EA)
ex 2
Mat Qty Unit Plant   St Loc
M1   1    EA   P1      S1
M1   2    EA   P1      S1
M1   27   EA   P1      S1
The PR brings in the Unit automatically
EA is Base Unit Of Measure -Material Master
BT is Order Unit           -Material Master
Conversion
30 EA = 1BT
When i convert this PR to PO using ME59N then i see 2 lines items
M1   1   BT
M1   1   BT
M1   1   BT
Its 3 times no
PR Qty = 30 EA
PO qty = 3 BT = 90 EA
I guess during conversion to PO
It sees PR Line item 1 and looks for another line items with similar fields ( in our case it sees line 2 in ex 1 and 2 and 3 in ex 2)
i adds the qty 1 and 29 in ex1 and converts the total 30 each to 1 BT and when it moves to 2 line it see item1 and again creates 1BT but the line item 2 was already considered and it should be ignored
Similarly if you see ex2 then it creates 3 limes with 1 BT each
Let me know how to resolve this issue
Thanks

As for std SAP ME59N - make sure there is not rounding value is activated in the Material master as well as info record
If this is not the case than check any custom code is activated for ME59N
becuase generally in many compnay when they use ME59n they don't want the same material from diff PR to create the diff line item in the PO so using the custom logic in the user exist they trick the code
it might be the case for you where you have issue.

BAPI purchase order create (subcontracting)

Hi,
Is it possible to create subcomponents for PO item when it is not BOM related? I checked BAPI_PO_CREATE and CREATE1 (with ALE messages assigned) but cannot find how to use standard way to accomplish this (ver. 4.6C).
Is there a better way to do this than batch input with ME21?
Best regards,
Maciej

That's the first thing I checked...
CREATE1 is used only once in 4.7 (idoc_input..) and not in 4.6C, there should be new interface generated. The problem is all BAPIs interfaces have no container for subcomponents at all (only items general, schedule lines, service lines, conditions etc.).
Note 197958 says BAPI_PO_CREATE can be used for creating subcontracting items only when BOMs exist and most probably it is the last answer to this issue;)
Br,
Maciej

Using ME59 and report for difference amount

Hi Experts,
We have a business issue as follows:
we have one trading plant and one manufacturing plant and one vendor to supply raw mateials tray A and tray B. Sytem is made like APO is runing in manufacturing plant and ECC MRP running in trading plant at the same time from monday to thursday 10 P.M. once the MRP runs in trading plant and manufacturing plant a sub contract order will get create to manufacturing plant to manufacture the final product VIA SUB CONTRACTING ORDER.. The MRP runs at 10.30 in both trading and manufacturing plant it takes 4 hours time...we proposed to use ME59 for processing automatic PR generations in back ground after completion of MRP run. Please can we suggest to run in ME59 in background? or is there any other options?or is it possible run my user ?
Issue 2: Report preperations for difference of orders
The orders are coming from different countries like...US, Austraila, and Europe to trading plant it will creates a lot size for the vendor who supply raw materials...if the lot is 6000... trading plant recieves 8000 orders so there is a difference of 2000 .. lot size is limited to 6000 so they are maintaing it in excel sheet presently they want to maintain it in report...please suggest how we can solve this difference? . this automation should be done between vendor and manufacturing plant.
Please kidnly support..
Thanks in Advance
GANESH

For many years automatic PO creation is already ME59N. And it should only be used if your master data ( vendor, material, info record) is in a very good shape so that the users do not need to enter or change anything, e.g. could just click save in ME21N
your second scenario is very vague, your customers order the finished material from the trading plant. the trading plant orders at the manufacturing plant. The manufacturing plant orders raw materials from the vendor to manufacture the finished material.
Why does the trading plant get 6000 if 8000 are ordered, who's fault is this?
What is the reason for an extra Excel sheet (this is usually a fall back if users are not trained enough and do not understand the processes and do not know how to use SAP to track)
if you want automate anything between manufacturing plant and vendor, then you need to tell what you want automate. In general an automation should be done for processes that work well and do not need any human interaction. And automation cannot solve your problems with getting/receiving less than ordered

Create an InfoPath Form to Auto Populate Data in SharePoint 2010

In Anne Stenberg's Blog from 2 Nov 2011 3:00 PM "How to Create an InfoPath Form to Auto Populate Data in SharePoint 2010" she artfully steps through how to create an InfoPath Form to Auto Populate Data. It works but... Jason, another user,
wrote whenever the form is opened again either to view or edit, it displays the current users information instead of the value of the person who completed the form in the first place.
Anne's response was "Hi Jason - I had forgotten I had that problem, too. Change the Form Load rule's condition to
DisplayName is blank and that should work."
My problem is I can't find anything other than AccountName in "Select a Field or Group" [GetUserProfileByName (Secondary)] to use in the Condition statement that will correct the problem.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
I recommend to add one more condition in Form Load to make the form not be populated with current user’s information (You can change Title to another column which should not be blank when users create a new item).

Victoria

How to add components to a subcontract PR using BAPI_PR_CREATE

I am trying to use BAPI_PR_CREATE in SAP ECC 6.0 to create a Purchase Requisition with Item Category "L" (subcontracting) to be subcontracted to a vendor for repair. Normally, in ME51N, we would add components to the PR before creating it, but I can't see any way to do that with this BAPI, and the documentation doesn't say.
The result is an error with the following messages:
T ID                   NUM MESSAGE
E BAPI                 001 No instance of object type PurchaseRequisition has been created. External reference: # 1
E ME                   154 Not possible to determine any components
E ME                   642 Subcontracting only possible with vendor
The error 154 (Not possible to determine any components) is the same message that would appear in ME51N if the components were not added for the repair.
The error 642 (Subcontracting only possible with vendor) is confusing because a valid vendor number is being supplied to the FIXED_VEND field in PRITEM and the equivalent field in PRITEMX is marked with X.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to create a complain using FM "CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN"

Hi experts,
How to create a complain using FM "CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN" and to capture the complain id which is auto generated.
Please help me finding solution
Thanks
Aisurya

hi
try to create complaint manually and before save it go into debugging mode (\h in command window) and press save. debugging window opens and put a break point at function module CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN. this will help you to identify the information that has to be sent to the FM to create a complaint. write code according to the information you found and after that call , CRM_ORDER_SAVE function module to save the transaction. in this fm ET_SAVED_OBJECTS you can find the newly created transaction id.
for new complaints you can use GUID_CREATE FM to create new guid and you can give this value to FM as you find and also to the CRM_ORDER_SAVE fm. call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT finally. hope it helps you.

How can I select alternative BOM when creating subcontract purchase order?

In our business, a finish good material always has different production versions at the same time. Each of production versions has its own alternative BOM. When I create a planned order, I can select wanted BOM through specifying production version.
But, when I creating subcontract purchase order, there is no field for me to specify the production version or which alternative BOM I prefer. In this case, I need to create a planned order at first. And then, convert the planned order to purchase. Only through this way, I can create a subcontract purchase order with my wanted BOM.
So, I wonder if there is any way to select alternative BOM directly when creating subcontract purchase order.
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Robbie

Dear Mr. MM
can you give me additional information about your solution?
BUT I would not expect the sytem to offer you during the Purchasing cycle the different Production Versions as it is not meant to be. I remember having the same requirement some time ago and we solved it the way I described above, additionally we created a Pop up window with a user exit during the PO creation which offered the different production versions and if the one linked with the quota arrangement, the standard PV, is used in the PO.
We also have the same problem, we activated businessfunction SCM_GEN_02 so that it is possible to have several production versions for one supplier, but unfortunatly it is not possible to change the production version in the purchase order. (business function does not seem to be very integrated)
So i would be very interested in your solution because acually it seems that i have to modify the sap standard.
Thank you and best regards
Lisa
