Creating of incoming invoice automatically when documen info record created

Hi all,
I apologize because I am asking many questions on this forum during the last few weeks, but I have some problems which I can't solve by myself in one project.
So, this time the question is about incoming invoices.
Here is the situation:
When our customer receives incoming invoice (in paper form) we scan it and send it to one Document management system. In that system we verify the invoice and approve it. After that step the document is released to SAP (only the document info record is created and that info record points to the original document (pdf file) in that DMS).
Now the question is:
Is it possible to automatically create incoming invoice (parked) when the document is released to SAP (it+s document info record created) and to create link between these two SAP objects? Basically it means that at the moment when doc. info record is created, the incoming invoice is created (only with mandatory data) and saved (parked).
We need this functionality because our client wants to have the access to original document (pdf file) when he is about to finish the incoming invoice.
So, is it possible to set up some parameters so that incoming invoice is created automatically after the document info record is created, and linked to that document info record?

I was not aware that u have already done coding to create DIR in SAP. In that case u don't need to rely on status triggering, u may create the invoice prior to DIR creation and then link it to the DIR.It can be done in the way u have mentioned. I.e. linking at the time of DIR with BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE.
I doubt we have any direct link to Incoming Invoice from DIR. One of the options i can think of is linking DIR to EKPO(Purchase Order Item) which is mentioned in Invoice.
Else u may need to add another object with object table "RBKP"
Following link will help u in creating new Object for development of new screens [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c1/1c31a243c711d1893e0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm]
BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 is the latest BAPI instead of BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE.
Points Appreciated.

Automatic creation of info record

Hi All ,
In my case, Automatic creation of info record is active during creation of PO and in case of standard PO, price is automatically coming during creation of PO
But in case of consignment PO, Price is not coming automatically.
Please help... thanks in advance

HI,
In Consignment PO, Price (Condtion tab) won't be there.
As per the concept of Consignment, stock will be in our premise but ownership of the stock will be with the vendor. Only when we consume from the consignment stock it will come under our valuation & the price maintained in the consignment info-record will used in this case.
Refer help.sap documentation for more details on Consignment.
Thanks & Regards,

Avoid posting mm-incoming invoice with when special account is used

Hi,
during the creation of the (parked) incoming invoice we use a dummy account that needs to be changed later. For our process it is not simply done by customize the account in the way that posting is not allowed.
Therefore I am searching a possibilty to reject the posting of an mm incoming invoice if one special account is used. For the FI-incoming invoices I solved the problem with validation rules (User exits to avoid posting of invoices)
But how can I do this with the mm invoices? Is it extension LMR1M005 or LMR1M004? (Didn't get it with them because I don't know how a "posting" switch should look like in the coding)
Regards, Vanessa

Hi,
Your PO created for real vendor/account and Why you parked incoming invoice to a dummy account ?
Purchase order considered as committed document by business and you are doing invoice verification( parking and posting) WRT purchase order for a vendor and respective accounting documents are created during goods receipt and invoice verification-why you want to post to dummy account/vendor!
Instead of development , you can try with following:
1.Create Main Vendor (A)in t.code:XK01
2.Go for creating a new vendor master(B) for dummy vendor in XK01 , keep alternate payee as main vendor(A) as Alternat.payee field in Payment transaction view and keep partner function as Invoicing Party(PI) only in Partner function view.
3. Assign this dummy vendor code(B) in Main vendor(A) in t.code:XK02 with partner function of Invoicing Party in Partner function view.
4.Now create PO for Main vendor(A)
5.Do invoice verification for PO, your invoice posted to dummy vendor code(B)
6.Do payment for PO where you will pay for vendor code (A)
Also you can think following options:
Better create assign a blocking key in field of Payment block in Payment transaction view of your vendor master and after invoice verification, the invoice document created will be blocked for vendor.Later you can release the invoice with MRBR t.code or FB02 t.code.
OR
You can use tolerance limit as ZERO for tolerance keys for invoice verification for your company code. Create PO for vendor and after invoice verification for PO, the invoice document created will be blocked for vendor.Later you can release the invoice with t.codes MRBR or FB02.

How to trigger a workflow when a info record is changed?

Hello All,
I would like to trigger a workflow when the conditions from a info record are changed?
What business object should be used?
Thanks in Advance
Rui

Hi,
for these kinds of issues,
foirst check if a uefull event already exists in the system
for this you first actiave the event trace: SWELS.
Then you change the info record.
And then you read the event log with SWEL.
If there's no event, you may eventually have to create it in an exit with SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT fm
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Update info record when changing units of measure in material master

Hello,
is there any possibility for an automatic change of info record when changing conversion factors in the material master ?
We have 3 units of measure in our material master: the base unit and 2 alternative units. The first alternative unit is the order unit and the second alternative unit is the order price unit. So in our purchase info records we maintain an order unit, which differs from the base unit and we also maintain an order price unit, which differs from the base unit and the order unit.
If we now change the conversion factors between the units in the material master, we would like to get an automatic change of the converions in the info record (to order unit and order price unit), which have the same previous conversions.
For IS R it seems to be implemented (see OSS-Note 975954).
Is there any solution for a "normal" industry system ?
Thanks for answering
Edited by: Britta Heinsen on Jul 23, 2009 1:52 PM

I don't think such an auto update is available. Infact I came to know that such an update is available in IS-R after reading your query.
Obviously you an always create a workflow based enhancement that can synchronize the Info-records and material master changes or sort of enhancement which regularly reads the material master change history for such changes and trigger a synchronization by executing change Info-record automatically.

Material Group in the Info Record and PO

We have the scenario of an info record that is "standard" and "sub-contracting". When you display the info record for either category using ME13, it has the value for material group in the general data screen. Technical Assistance tells me this value is found in EINA-MATKL. However, when I do an extract for the info record from EINA, the field is blank.
My two info records (standard and sub-contracting) in EINE were created differently. The standard one was created using ME11 and a plant was entered. Because a plant was entered, the material group value was not required. The sub-contracting info record was automatically created when the PO was created (InfoUpdate button is on). In the PO, the material group was also entered; however, a plant was not added to the info record because we do not have EVO set up to include the plant when the info record is automatically created. (This is something I can change).
This is very confusing when we are looking at these info records and it appears data should be there but it is not. This most noticeably happens with the ones that are getting created automatically and then a different category is created using ME11. Are we are missing some addl requirements in configuration when these records are being created automatically????
Can someone please explain???? I need to come up with a solution to this problem.

If you want to enter diff ordre unit than in the PIR
In this case in the material master purchasing screen you have to activate the var order unit
enter 2 here
now go to your info record and on general data screen you will see the field var ordre unit
here enter 2
than click on conditon from menu
system will popup the order unit screen
here keep cursor on box and click choose
now it will allow you to maintain the box price also
once you do this than it will automatically defult in the Po upon selection.

SAP PUR: Purchase requisition getting valution from Info Record

Hi all,
I'm trying to see why SAP doesn't get the valuation from the Info Record when creating a PR.
I put the fixed vendor, it automatically determines the info record number, but it is not putting the value in the PR.
Is there any answer to this?

Hi
PR never pickes valuation price from info record. Valuation Price is internal and stocks are valuated at valuation price. If you fix a vendor in PR then that is used in PO for price. But valuation price will not be chnaged automatically. It is alwys copied from Material master. You can edit it. It is used for release procedure of PR and Price comparison between PO and PR valaution price.
Hope my answer helps u to understand.

Antony

Purchasing Info Record

Dear Group Members
1. How Purchase info is created automatically?
Purchase info record is not updated when we use ordering measure in PR
(followed the instruction as per sap help)
I donu2019t want to change Purchase info
details as followed from SAP HELP DOCUMENT
Message No : ME898
UNIT H is not intentend as an order unit
System Response:
The system check whether the order unit you entered is allowed for this purchase order by comparing the order unit you entered with the order unit that the system determined
The system check the potential source of the order unit in the given sequence. if a source is not available (if the purchase order is not referenced to a preceding document for example ) then the system checks the next possible source ( such as purchase requisition ):
1 If you create a PO with reference to a proceeding document (PO, Contract or request for quotation), the system copies the order unit from the preceding document. The Var. OUn (variable order unit) indicator must not be selected in the Purchase info record
2 If you create a po with reference to PR and the var, OUn indicator is selected in the purchasing info record, the system copies the order unit from purchase requisition.
In Enjoy PR ( ME51N)you can maintain the order unit on the item detail screen on the sorce of supply tab. in the normal PR (ME51)you can maintain the order unit on the item details screen
3 When the Purchasing info record for the combination of vendor and material exists, the system copies the order unit from the purchasing info record
4 IF you create a purchase order with reference to PR and VAr .OUn is not selected in the purchasing info record, the system copies the order unit from the purchasing requisition
5 If you create a purchase order with reference to a pr and their is no existing purchase info record for the combination of vendor & material , then the system copies the unit of measure from the PR item in the item overview.
6 If you create a normal purchase order the system copies the order unit the material master
7 When you create a stock transport order the system copies the unit of measure from material master
8 If order unit and the unit of measure were not defined in the material master the system copies the material master base unit of measure
You people guide me how can i update Purchase info record?
I have Query to be solved .

Hi ! Jason M.
I checked the below configuration
SPRO - MM - Purchasing - Purchase order - Define screen layout at doc.level - Select ME21N - details - administrative data, item - Info update (optional or required).
In my configuration screen Info update is optional
Even though info records are not updated
My Query
PR Unit of measure is created in each, PO had created in each in the month of June & info records are in each fo the vendor
Now the Purchase group realize that the PO should be in Days
We made the changes in Material master ordering unit of Measure in days DAY
A) If we Crete PO system will not allow to save PO in days but only allows to save in Unit of measure as EA
B) If PO created by removing the info record PO is saved in unit of measure as days with the same info record
But info records are not updating Pleas provide some solution solve this

Please try to address the following
1) In standard SAP, when we create a contract, will the Info record automatically created?

It will not get created. where and all u come across this indicator uncheck it.
Thanks & regards,

PURCHASE INFO RECORD TAX CODE UPDATION THROUGH PO

In Purchase info record tax code is alredy exist for one vendor and material.
while making new Purchase order for same vendor and material but tax code is differant then can tax code will not update automatic in purchase info record.
How to do automatic updation in purchase info record?

Hi,
The Tax code will be updated from the PO at the first time Info record created from the PO as per the Info update setting.
In your case as already with tax code an Info record exist as per standard the new tax code willn't get updated in to the existing info record. You have to change the new tax code in the info recordfrom the transaction ME12.

Purchase Info record - Split valuation

Hi Experts,
I have a problem in working with split valuation.
I have a material with split valuation with valutation types Domestic and Import.
Same vendor supplies both the valuation types material.
I want to create purchase info record for two valuation types with the same material, vendor,purchasing org.,Plant.
I am able to create info record for only one valuation type.
Is there any way that I can create info record for both the valuation types for a vendor,material,Plant and Porg.?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Dear Lakshmi,
I'm not sure how u create an info record until val,type level , as per i know valuation type is the information in the Purh.Org data in info record. So when maintaining info record you got combination of vendor,material, plant, p.org, and info rec category.
The material per valuation type value will updated to the mat master when u done GR,
So you dont need to maintain the value in info record, because in the material accounting level there'll be 2 valuation type for that material which contain both value for domestic and others.

BAPI_PO_CREATE1 info record

Hello,
I want to create a PO using a distinct net price (item-net_price)from info record, but the bapi only takes this net_price when the info record is empty. In the other case, puts the info record net_price.
The flag no_price_from_po is filled with 'X', and the tables item and itemx are correctly filled
 item-po_item = 01.
 item-material = '000120'.
 item-po_unit = 'BLS'.
 item-po_price = '2'.
 item-orderpr_un = 'BLS'.
 item-net_price = '50.000'.
How can i do that?

According to <a href="https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=012006153200001905652002">Note 571860</a>
The following restrictions apply to field PO_PRICE:
If you assign conditions via the BAPI interface, these are always transferred. This is carried out independently of the value that you assign in field PO_PRICE.
If you add a new item to a purchase order with BAPI_PO_CHANGE, it does not suffice to fill field POITEM-NET_PRICE on item level. The corresponding currency must be specified explicitly on header level.
You can only use field PO_PRICE during the creation of a purchase order item. If you want to change the price of an already existing item, you can only do this via the conditions.
If you fill field POITEM-PO_PRICE, you must enter an 'X' in POITEMX-PO_PRICE so that the value is transferred.
Could the solution be to enter 'X' in POITEMX-PO_PRICE?
In case you haven't already seen these: <a href="https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=012006153200002014472002">Note 582221</a> contains FAQ's on BAPIs for purchase orders

Contract VS Info-Records

Dear experts
My customers wants to enter on the system a contract but only with the price per unit, I mean, it is not necesary to indicate the total amount neither the total quantity. Thinking about it I think that they could use the info-record for this purpose instead of creating a contrat. Could we have any problem using this object? Ive been thinking on some: more info-records are created for all the pars of vendor-material, and if I desactivate the automatic creation of info-records I will lose the oportunity to search all the materials that has been bought for a vendor, etc...
Could you advice me, pleasE?
Thank in advance.

Hi,
In SAP std. you can create two types of contrct either quanity or vue quantract, in qty you have to give the total quanity required against that contract and in value it is total amount, you requirement is not clear why you want to it is on price per unit. how to total requirement will be calculate.
