Creating a Standard Info Record for multiple plants

We did some clean up in info records the other day and marked some old/incomplete info records for deletion down at the PO organizational data level (EINE).  This went fine; however, now when we go to create another info record using the same info record number (because material and vendor is the same), but for a different plant (will be a separate entry in the EINE table), SAP automatically marks it for deletion because the previous entry is marked for deletion.
The one consistent thing I have noticed is that the old incomplete info record originally marked for deletion had a purchasing document attached to it.  The document along with document date carried through the additional info records we tried to create for different plants.
Can someone tell me the reason this happens?  Also, what can we do to prevent this?  I would think you could have an info record marked for deletion in plant 1,  and have a valid one for plant 2??

This is a program bug, please see OSS  Note 742405 - Creating purchasing info record with deletion indicator

    i came to know that the FM <b>ME_DIRECT_INPUT_INFORECORD</b> is suitable for this requirment.
    but when i am trying to test this by passing data to I_EINA and I_EINE.
    it is giving some error message like "<b>Please enter at least one vendor</b>, Number entered not within external number range and etc".
    can any one guid me in passing the data to this function module, i.e. what are the required fields that are to be passed to this FM.
    if i have to update/create the EINA & EINE table data.

  • Net price in P-info record  for DIEN material type

    I am supporting a system ,
    The issue is as follows ,
    I have created a P-info record for material with material type as DIEN , and maintained Net price and system automatically updates the price in the condition type PBXX .
    The pricing procedure in this system doesnt have PB00 , but has PBXX with Access sequence .
    Now when I try to view the price in ME12 , I see the Net price as 0.00 , but the value for condition type PBXX exists when I click on conditions push button .
    Has any one come across this scenario , Pl help .
    Thanks in advance ,
    Amit

    Hi,
    The first time you create a PO for a material/vendor combination, then system will not prompt any price as info record or valid conditions have not been found.
    The next time you create a PO for the same material, then the price will be defaulted/found from the order price history from the info record(As info record would be reated after the first PO is created) and the latest PO price for the mat/ven combination would be found.
    Hope you are clear with this..Any doubts revert back.

  • Import multiple info records for 1 material item in repository

    Hi Guys,
    I have got sort of a puzzle I can not solve at the moment, maybe some one can help me to solve it. The situation in our system landscape is as follows:
    Systems:
    SRM 5.0 (Classic implementation scenario)
    ECC 6.0
    SRM-MDM 2.0
    PI 2005
    Material master is maintained in R/3 and the materials are replicated to SRM. From SRM we replicate all materials to the catalog repository in SRM-MDM.
    As the material master in R/3 is vendor independent, the materials replicated to SRM also have no vendor attached. For the first initial material replication from SRM to the catalog SRM-MDM this also means that the products in the main table of the repository, u2018catalog positionsu2019, will not have a vendor or vendor number attached (i.e. no reference to a source of supply).
    To assign a source of supply in the repository to a product (record) we will use info records which are replicated from R/3 to SRM-MDM. The mapping for this in the Import Manager can only be based on the product number. As this is the only unique value available which can map a info record to a already existing (but vendor less) ptoduct item in the catalog.
    As long as every item in the repository has only one unique info record, meaning one source of supply with a specific price, there is no issue in the above scenario. Based on the product-id, the info record data will be matched with the material item in the catalog.
    The issue for me arises when multiple info records exists for the same material. The info records can heave different vendors and different prices. All possible vendors should be available in the catalog for the same material (at least this is the requirement ).
    At this point the product-id will no longer be an unique value. Importing the info records will cause problems, as only one material record is available in the repository for the specific product-id (remember that when doing a initial replication of the material master to the catalog, no vendor data is replicated).
    Does anyone had this issue before, and knows a solution? Is it for example possible during the import of the info records in the Import manager, to duplicate material records in the destination data, based on the number of info records available in the source data for the same product-id. Or is there an other solution that I am missing?
    Your help would be appreciated!
    Regards,
    Skander

    Hi Shai & Ravi,
    Thanks for your answers. The MDM version which we are using is 5.5 - currently on SP6
    @ Shai: you are right; the standard SRM-MDM 2.0 catalog repository has a qualified lookup table u2018priceu2019, in which itu2019s possible to store the info record data. The standard fields in this sub-table are: Purchase Org, Amount, Currency Lower B, PIR-ID, price based quantity and Price based quantity UoM.
    I added some extra fields (non qualified), to accompany the remaining info record data (product no. u2013 vendor id  u2013 product category)  which is exported/imported, via the standard extraction program in R/3: Tcode MECCM
    I tried the solution Ravi proposed. This scenario works fine when, for example you want to maintain multiple info records for one specific material record in the main table (all info records related to the same source of supply, i.e. vendor). But as I described, the info records we import for one product can have different vendors. 
    The source of supply (vendor) in the shopping cart of SRM is determined via the u2018supplieru2019 field in the main repository table (which is in itself a flat lookup table ). What happens now is that all related info records are added to the u2018price informationu2019 field of the specific product record in the main table. Thus info records which have different suppliers are attached to a record in the main table which will have one specific supplier in the u2018supplieru2019 field. So from my point of view this will not work.
    I am still stuck with the situation that the material master import will only import one record for every distinct product, which can have multiple info records. The info records can/will have different vendors. As the supplier field in the main table determines the source of supply in the shopping cartu2026. Iu2019am seeking for a solution which will duplicate the material records in the main table, based on the amount of imported info records for that specific material record, that have distinct vendors.
    Shai, if you have some useful info on how you accomplished this requirement on a previous version of SRM-MDM, it would be greatly appreciated if you can share it..
    Thx.

  • Problem in creating Info record for vendor -AFFI account group

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to create a info record for a material for a vendor -1000 which is of AFFI account group.
    system in giving me an error saying that the material is not maintain in the plant 1000. However the plant i am working is for 2000 and the master data is maintained. I dont know why the system is giving a weird message taking the vendor code as the plant and giving the message " Material is not maintained in the plant"
    I have created an info record for this same material with another vendor code of the same AFFI account group. I think i am missing something in the master data of the vendor.
    Can anybody throw some lights on this.
    regards
    DP

    I got the solution. Thread closed.

  • Two Purchase Info Records for Same Material & Plant Combination

    Hi,
    2 Purchase Info Records are there for Same Material & Plant for 2 Different Vendors & Net Price is maintained in both Info Records
    1. Material M1 - Plant 1000 - Vendor A - Net Price Rs.4
    2. Material M1 - Plant 2000 - Vendor B - Net Price Rs.3
    Vendor A is Regular Vendor
    (Tick as Regular Vendor is his Purchase Info Record)
    It is observed that Rs.3 is picked up for Costing Purposes
    Requirement is that - Net Price within Pur. Info Record of Regular Vendor i.e Rs. 4 must be picked up always for Costing Puposes.
    Is this possible???
    What Logic system uses while picking up the Price in case where there are 2 Pur. Info Records for same Material & Plant???
    Thanks & Regards...

  • Restrict PO creation for multiple plants for same company code

    Hi Gurus,
    We want to restrict PO creation for multiple plants in the same company code. Based on Standard SAP settings for Purchasing organization assignment with multiple Plant and multiple Plant assignment with single company code, this is happening. Is there a way that we can restrict by doing some customization change.
    Any thoughts or ideas will be highly appreciating.
    Thanks and Best regards,
    Karun Kumar

    Hi,
    Said functionality is not available in SAP standard.
    To avoid the same ,i can suggest implement release strategy for PO,and then higher authority / commercial team can check created PO,if multiple plants available in single po then they have the option of rejection for the same.
    Or else check BADI-ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST,take the help from abapor and apply the restriction to select multiple plant in PO.
    Hope this will resolve your query,
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Purchase info record for material groups

    Hi all,
    We have purchase info records for material groups, not material specific. When I create and activate integration model for these info records, no info record is sent to APO. Is there a way to create Transportaiton Lanes automatically in APO?
    Regards,
    Jenny

    Hi,
    In APOPurchase info record is transfered as external procurement relationship.
    Generally Transportation lanes are created automatically for plant to plant transfer when you define special procurement key in MRP view of material master accordingly.
    In case of T. lane for vendor, automatic generation may not work. Still you may try using correct special procurement key + material specific vendor info record..
    Thanks,

  • Subcontracting Info record for Same Vendor which is used in Purchasing vendor

    Hi Gurus,
    When we want to create info record for both standard and sub contract  with one single vendor.,  system is not creating a separate info record.
    It is considering the same  Info record for all the options.  This triggers error -  Info record price does not match.
    Reg,
    Suresh

    Yes.. That's correct. System will just update the same info record number.. But you should not face any problem for price fetching...
    System will work properly for standard PO and subcontracting PO..
    System will compare the item category of info record and PO line item, as per this comparison, system will pick the price from info record..
    You can see in the above screen shot the value 3 indicates that it is for subcontracting PO.
    Standard PO :
    I am just changing the item category from blank to L.
    Subcontracting PO:
