Creation of P.O. - Vendor unknown

Hello,
In which business scenario, we have to use the T.code - ME 25 (Create
Purchase order - vendor unknown)?
Thanks and regards
Yoganarasimhan

Hi.
In the Tocde ME25. You have the following features.
1) Create a Purchase order for a material to which you do not know the sources of supply.Once you click on the assign sources system will searched for the valid souces for the material.If only one source is there it will assign that as source as a default source.
2) In scenarion you do not know source or if you are in a confusion to choose a valid source you can just cerate a Purchase requisition.
3) At the intial transaction you have the option to determine the sources automatically.
4) After identifying the valid source you can generate the purchase for a particular vendor.
As a summary I can tell in the transaction ME25 you have the option to create a Purchase requisition and Purchase order.
Hope it helps you. If it helps award me.
Cheers

PO creation through transaction code ME25 (vendor unknown) - reg.

Dear all,
When I'm doing excercise using transaction code ME25 (PO creation - vendor unknown), the system shows the error message as "Item category not allowed with document type".
How to overcome this issue.
Plz do the needful at the earliest.
Regards,
Chandramohan.N

Hi
Chandramohan
You can do this in IMGMM-PURPO and Define Doc types and select the required Doc type and Select the Allowed Item Category. In this way you can allow the item category to the respective Document type.
The item category determines the field selection and whether any additional data screens are shown.
In addition, it determines whether a goods receipt or invoice receipt is to follow.
The following list contains the item categories defined in the standard SAP R/3 System:
Standard,Consignment,Subcontracting,Third-party,Stock transfer,Service,Material unknown and Material group
If helpful reward the points..

Vendor evaluation in purchase order (vendor unknown)

Hi!
I created 2 new evaluation criteria for vendor evaluation.
When i go to tcode ME25 "create PO vendor unknown", I assign the source of suplly and click on "vendor evaluation" my 2 new criterias do not appear in the "Ranking list of vendors".
Any ideas?
Regards.

I think the new vendor is having a different pricing schema than the old vendor. Check the pricing schema for the old vendor (in purchasing view in field 'Schema Group. vendor) and compare it to the new vendor. I think they're different.
If it is then what i think happening is the user already input the price for the condition type in pricing schema A, then the vendor is changed and the new pricing schema is kiciking in thus making the old condition type missing.
Try to either:
A. Change to the old vendor back,
B. Change the pricing schema of the new vendor to be the same with old vendor

Purchase order vendor unknown

Hi Experts,
I am creating purchase order with vendor unknown.( ME25) from a purchase requisition. I have created a material with automatic P.O. an source list tick on as well as vendorwith auto p.o. tick on. Alos created inforecord for the material and vendor.
But while carrying out " Generate Purchase order " ;system is not creating purchase order. Can anybody tell me where I am wrong or what are the settings which are missing.
Secondly, is it required that the purchase requisition is mandatory for creating P.O. with vendor unknown.
Regards,
A.Aaditya

Hi,
Few points:
1. You shd always have vendor defined for your PO.
This is req. Because PO is an external document. So, one shd always be aware for which vendor your PO is being made.
2. Assign your vendor in PIR or source list.

Purchase order with vendor unknown

Hi all ,
Could anyone please tell me why PO with vendor unknown is needed ? And what is the difference between PR and PO with vendor unknown ( If vendor is unknown , to whom should we send the PO then ) ?What is the process cycle if we use a PO with vendor unknown . I know the process cycle with Vendor known .
regards,
Anupam

hi,
Could anyone please tell me why PO with vendor unknown is needed ?
> Its mostly required when you wanna raise the procurement in any urgency or if the person entering the PO donot have a right to directly send the PO to the vendor or in case the vendor is required to be decided when the PO is being made...
And what is the difference between PR and PO with vendor unknown ( If vendor is unknown , to whom should we send the PO then ) ?
> When you save such PO, it is indirectly saved as PR only(internally), so there is no such difference physically....It not send to any of the vendor untill the PO is entered with the required vendor and send and saved as PO...
What is the process cycle if we use a PO with vendor unknown . I know the process cycle with Vendor known .
When you make such PO the system will ask you while saving with the tab " Save as PR" or PO with no vendor defined.....you need to click on it and save the PO as PR...

Assigning Creation Profile in the Vendor Master

Help needed to find the release "Creation Profile" in the Vendor Master. I am not able to locate the input box in the Vendor Master "Purchasing Data" Tab.
Already tried:
Extras >> additional purchasing data >> data retention at plant level
Purchasing view >> Extras >> Alternate data for a plant
- the "Creation profile parameter is not there
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. I should clarify the issue once again.
Problem Clarified
"Release Creation Profile" already exists (defined) in IMG and I need to assign it to a vendor in the Vendor Master on the "Dif. Purchase Data" which is plant specific. I couldn't find the field "Creation Profile" in any of the purchasing data.

BUPA creation from customer and Vendor Master data in R/3 - Urgent!!

Hello All,
Firstly I am posting this query in this group to figure out a way to achieve this functionality of integration and moving Business Partners.
<u>Requirement: </u>On creation of every Customer or Vendor in R/3 we need to create a Business Partner in cProject, I have been told this could be achieved with the ALE functionality,
My guess would be to for every customer or vendor created in R/3 by User-exit create Business Partners by organization in R/3 and through ALE or BAPI create the same BP's in cProjects, I really need help in getting this solved,
Please advice me if I am missing something.
Thanks
Praveen Kumar

HI,
Goto SPRO\ Cross application components \ Master data synchronization \ Synchronization control.
Assign account groups of customer and vendors to respective BP grouping. This setting is enough to create BP in background while creating customer / vendor. But the fields groups are very much important, ensure mandatory fields should be sync.

Auto creation of notification for vendor problems

Hi, pls advise how to generate notificatin for vendor problems during goods receipt. can it be possible to generate automatically when there is problem for the vendor for the goods which are subjected to GR. Pls advise.

Hi Yadav,
pls advise how to generate notificatin for vendor problems during goods receipt.
While doing GR( which is stores activity) why you want to generate Notification, once GR is made the inspection lot is generated, then while doing RR if some thing is not as per specs then you can raise notification automatically.
can it be possible to generate automatically when there is problem for the vendor for the goods which are subjected to GR. Pls advise.
You will be able to generate auto notification only after you do GR, while doing RR. This authorization you can given to stores but again unless you inspect the material how you will know that there is problem in material and you need to raise notification.
for auto notification while RR, you have to assign notification type Q2/ N2 at that inspection type at customizing.
Also you should tick 'Defect recording' tab in control indicator of MIC's, this will automatically pop up the Window for defect recording and thereby notification.

Bapi For creation and change for Vendor Master and Customer Master

I am looking for BAPI to create and change Vendor Master and Customer Master which will not take me to standard SAP transaction but will work in the background
Explanation: BAPI to delete material (BAPI_MATERIAL_DELETE) take you to standard SAP screen of T-Code MM06 but BAPI to create material (BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA) creates material in the background i.e. does not take you to standard SAP screen of T-Code MM01
So in my case (i.e. to create and change Vendor Master and Customer Master ) I want BAPI which would work like BAPI to create material (BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA)

For general information,to find BAPIs associated with any business object :
Transaction : BAPI - choose alphabetical tab - Find customer - (right side choose - tools - create bapi list and search ) , you will get all the BAPIs associated with this particular business object

Vendor unknown

quantity contract is maintained for this material group(accont. ***. ca. is k) but no source list is maintained(as it is not possible for material group) and there is no info record either...............now when i use tcode me25
to create po for w/o material master that is for a material group and with account assignment category k
system is not able to search for the vendor or possible source although i have marked source dter. check box on intial screen
system displays message that possible source could not be found
so what can be reason for this

Hi,
System tries to find the source at material level & not at material group level. Hence you will have to maintain the contract for material (& not for material group) & also maintain this at source list. If you want that this source be assigned to Purchase Requisitions at MRP, then select option 1 at MRP.
Hope this helps.

Workflow for Vendor Creation through a portal.

Hi All Workflow Experts,
I have a scenario here.In my project vendor is created through a portal.On submit button from portal the workflow is to be triggered.I have to design the workflow process.So can you please guide me through what all should i consider while i design this workflow?
This is my first workflow assignment so if you explain in detail it will be a great help.
I will just pen down what all scenarios i can think of:
1.Start workflow after vendor creation or modification.
2.Check whether approver are maintained in Org structure through standard FMu2019s.
3.Check If approvers are maintained ?
4.If yes,approve or reject the vendor.
5.If no,get the agents from the custom table who can take an action on this.
This is what i can think of.
Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance,
Saket.

The corresponding BO related with the vendor creation or changing is LFA1 but this Business object doeanot have any events that are related to Create and Change , so try to create a ZLFA1 and add you own events or make use of delegation concept where you will create a delegation for LFA1.
For your first isssue
Start workflow after vendor creation or modification
EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 Vendors: User Exit for Checks prior to Saving is the user exit where in you can call the workflow when ever you change or create , because this user exit will trigger when ever you try to save the vendor. so i think you can make use of this user exit
For your second Issue
Check whether approver are maintained in Org structure through standard FMu2019s.
Make use of SWI_GET_USERS_OF_ORG_UNIT this fucntion mdoule to get the user of the ORG unit
or you can create a Rule(for determining the agents dynamically) to find the approvers.

Workflow for Material Master and Vendor Master Creation

Hi
Has anyone mapped creation of Material Master & Vendor Master through SAP Workflow.
Seek your valuable inputs.
Best Regards
--Vikas

You may not get the complete standard form which will match this functionality. But you can develop your business logic in custom code for fetching the data and the interface and use the standard templates for layouts if any template matches your requirement. You can see the complete lest of templates in : "transaction SFP->Form->Layout->Tools->Template Manager
Most of the common templates are available here.

Vendor and customer master creation

Hello, for my client most of the time the same customer works as a vendor too. so they want to automate the creation of customer and vendor master records simultaneously. Basically the requirement is to enter the data for vendor master and use the same data to create customer master with out using 2 tcodes XD01, XK01 and enter the data in 2 places.
Any suggestions are appriciated.
Venu.

Hi,
If this is a manual entry, it is not possible with in SAP, they would have to use trwo different transactions.. Moreover the data cannot be same as they are opposites.
You can add teh vendor # in the customer master and Customer # in the vendor master.. that's be all that you can do.
even if you were to use LSMW or a Winshuttle to upload data, tehformat would still be different. so this is not possibel as far as I know

Authorization for vendor's creation

Hi there,
I have a problem with vendors creation authorization (SAP R/3 4.6B)
For a matter of security, we need to separate the task of creating a vendor in two parts. The user who can create the vendor general datas is not authorized to create the bank details. And vice versa of course.
So I created two Group Fields for Vendor Master Records.
10 non banking datas
20 banking datas
In group 10 I have put the data LFBK-BANKL Banking key (not sure of the English term) and in group 20 I have put LFA1-NAME2 Name 2.
I gave authorization to non banking datas to user 1 (F_LFA1_AEN / VGRUP = 10) and authorization to banking datas to user 2 (F_LFA1_AEN / VGRUP = 20).
And it does nothing special
Both users can create banking and non banking datas and save the vendor.
Did I do wrong somewhere or is there a problem with vendors creation authorization ?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your answer, you gave me another idea.
The solution I wanted to implement doesnt work for vendors creation but only for vendors modification.
So I used Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Records > Define Screen Layout per Activity (Vendors). I suppress payment transaction data for Vendor creation (XK01 and FK01). So people who creates vendors cannot create payment transactions data. In fact, nobody can
To create payment transaction data you must modify the vendor (XK02 and FK02) and be authorized. To do so, I can use the solution explained in my first post : Preparations for Changing Vendor Master Records > Define Field Groups for Vendor Master Records and Group Fields for Vendor Master Records.
