Creation of Purchase Order Without material master

Dear Experts,
Can we create PO with out material master.
1. If yes, what is the functional objective behind creating PO with out material master
2. Where do you do the setting for the same
I am trouble shooting on issue where once the user creates PO without Material master and with the account assignment caragory K and one GL account the FI document gets posted in MIGO and MIRO. But when I use more than 1 GL account with the same above setting the FI document does not get posted.
Any Input.

Re: Creation of sales order without material master

Hi All,
Is it possible to create sales Order, without material master. In case if so please provide the details.

Hi,
It is possible to save order without any material.
But if you want to restrict it, go to VOV8 and select your Sales Document Type and see if any incompletion procedure is assigned.
Now go to SPRO - SD - BASIC FUNCTIONS - LOG OF INCOMPLETION ITEMS - SALES ORDER ITEM -
and for your incompletion procedure maintain VBAP under table and MATNR under field name. Also you can tick on warning message, if user now tries to save the order without any material.
So now you can restrict saving order without having any material.
I am sure this will help you, if it does, please dont forget to reward points for contribution.

Purchase order without material master

I wanna create purchase order for a material that does not have a material master record.
is it possible to create it without entering account assignment? because i wanna buy it for an storage location and an sloc does not have any G/L account

Hi
You need to show purchase cost in some GL account. System recognises GL account through material master or material group with account assignment combination. Without these two you cannot identify to which account postings should happen. Assign a valuation class to a material group in OMWQ and assign a GL account to valuation class in GBB - VBR for automatic picking of GL account in purchase order. However you can overwrite this GL account as per the requirement.
Thanks

Is it possible to use IQS1 for purchase orders without material master?

Hello,
We are currently trying to come up with a way to send a notification on purchase orders which have GR's posted against them so that the purchasing team/requestor know that products have been shipped. We have an office in Qatar where we would like to ship products to (which we are purchasing out of a catalog based in the US) and we need a way to track the shipment. We are currently using T-Code IQS1 for any items which have been created as material master and are in stock within Qatar however we would like to utilize this t-code for products which are pulled in from a supplier catalog, which are not part of the material master.
Is there a way to use IQS1 for non-material master products?
Thanks,
Katie

Worked with my development team to locate the resolution.

FM / BAPI Inbound delivery creation for a Purchase Order without material

Dear All,
I have a requirement to create a Inbound Delivery for a Purchase order without material number. The Purchase Order has only Material text and no material number. Please let me know a BAPI or FM to create inbound delivery in this case where there is no material defined on PO. I require BAPI / FM since I have to make a web-service for the same.
Thanks in advance!
Abhishek

Hi I did a coding in one of the userexit. If ekpo-matnr is empty then fill
KOMDLGN-UMVKZ = 1
KOMDLGN-UMVKN = 1
KOMDLGN-MEINS = EKPO-MEINS
This parameters i.e. Qty conversion are necessary and since MATNR does not exists it has to be filled.

GTS 7.2 - Error with account assigned purchase order without material

All,
I am creating an account assigned purchase order without any material master in the feeder system (ECC 5.0) and it a standard SAP functionality.
I am getting the following GTS related pop up message and documents are posted to technically incomplete documents in GTS 7.2.
"Legal Control: Custs Prod. Mast. Required
Material "
Any ideas on how get rid of this error message
Edited by: James Puzon on Oct 3, 2008 9:32 PM

James,
Even though material numbers are not mandatory on POs in the feeder system (ie in ECC) they ARE mandatory in SAP-GTS.
This means that every line item (PO, SO, delivery) that is sent to GTS for compliance screening or Customs processing MUST have a material number in the feeder system. You have a couple of options to resolve this:
1. Always use a material number on all transactions that you enter in your feeder system if they are exports or imports (ie relevant for GTS). You can create service materials or "dummy" materials in ECC for items such as user manuals, warranties or installation services that are part of a particular shipment.
2. You can add logic in the interface for GTS to always transfer a particular material number to GTS if the material number is blank on the line item of the feeder system document. Ideally you would want to link this custom logic to a custom maintenance table in ECC so that you can easily change the material number that is sent to GTS without having to change the code.
3. Override the error message by changing the message type to a warning or informational message (not recommended because this would require a small code modification because I don't think the message type is configurable for this error). Even if you did make this code change you would likely run into more issues in GTS because license determination and other GTS services need a material number to function properly.
Hope this helps.

Unsolved Problem-Order without Material Master

Hi all
My problem is still unsolved. I want to create Sales Order with out Material Master. In Materials Management, we create Purchase orders to vendors with out a Material Master by just typing description of a material and then assigning Material Group and Cost Centre to that description.
If it is possible to issue Purchase Orders with out material master, then it is not possible to create sales Order also without material master?
I got an answer here yesterday to type description in Material description field in SO and use item category TATX. The problem with this is, it allows delivery, but does not allow pricing (pricing setting immediately goes to display mode in item category screen). If I do any other alterations with this item category, then it asks for material number while creating sales order.
Please help

Hi,
I think the for text material pricing is not applicable.Thats why it's not taking.Text material is only for displaying text only.

Hari.

Creation of Purchase order without Quantity

Dear experts,
Good Evening,
My client requirement is to create a purchase order without any quantity but with price ,is it possible by any chance.
Thanks
Vijay rebala

Sorry for not responding ,but business wants purchase order
That's probably what is wrong with your scenario. Business shouldn't "want a purchase order", Business should want a process that works, irrespective of the transaction.
It's up to the people that know how the ERP works, to tell the business how they should use it.
If they are in the negotiation phase, they shouldn't be using a Purchase Order to do it, they are basically exchanging quotations.
The Purchase Order should be used when you have already agreed to the terms. That's how SAP standard works,.

Repair Purchase Order without Service Master

Good Day Guru's
I need your help please. A little history....
I have recently took a position at a company as their SAP Admin and quit the consulting world. We go live first of December....While looking at some config, requirements, etc. one of the things I ran into is that there was not a process in place for a delivery order being created for a repair order (Misc PO), STO or for a Sub Contract PO. I spoke with the Purchasing Manager in reference to this; and she said she was never told about a delivery order as an option....I suggested we should have an automated process in place for a repair PO. As the design sits now, the buyer will have to manually take the PO to the shipping department, there is not a delivery order, packing list, etc being created. The functional consultant with the company we have implementing our solution, set up a MISC PO without delivery and did not explain the functionality of a delivery order to them so the company could make a good sound judgement on a process. I then had a meeting with the Purchasing Manager, Functional Consultant, and also his superior. He was then asked to put a process in place and come back with a solution. Well, they did this yesterday (I was out sick). He stated that "since no service master" for the repair process and external operations that it is not possible to create delvery since these PO's are for service; so go with current design." Since the STO and the Sub Contract PO did not have delivery orders either that our company wanted to see a demo on the delicery order process before they say yes.
In my experience you can create a delivery order with the sub con process with an enhancement ...or at least I thought (been a while since I worked with purchasing). Has this changed? Why would I need to set up the Service Master for this (I know it is SAP best practice but all I wanted was a delivery order process), our requirement was not to track every step of the repair on the PO as an operation.....
My question comes down to this. Is the reason I can't use the repair order as a sub con process due to the fact they are using the sub con process for a true sub contract? Can this be set up as two different categories so both could be used? Is there another way to get a delivery order created for a repair po (in this case misc po)? Is there something I need to suggest differently in order to show it is a repair PO versus a true sub contract? I would appreciate some guidance on this that I can pass to the functional consultant....
I just find that not using the delivery order process not very efficient and not to mention placing a manual task for shipping material out to vendor for repair. Hopefully I made this clear.
Thanks in advance

Goods receipt reference to Purchase Order non-material master items

Dear all,
Platform: SAP R/3 4.7
I'm working in my customer environment whereby the purchasing scenario is as follows:
1. Create a normal PR me51n -. enter material description for the item to purchase, qty, price, plant and etc. My customer doesn't maintain material master for their items.
2. Create a normal PO me21n with reference to the PR. The information from the PR is automatically copied to the PO.
3. They receive the physical item and now it's time to perform GR.
My question:
Can I perform GR with reference to PO since the item in the PO is not from the material master, meaning there's no material # maintained for that item? I'd like to record the items ordered into the plant.
Thanks.
Steven

Hi Shubham,
"Hi,
Yes always you can make GR against of PO irrespective of material master maintained or short desription, which is commonly called non codified material.
Ccan be procuured against Account assignment ( cost center) which have to eneter in PR/PO in the account column then material group, which is mandatory field with this G/R/IR clearing account will get triggered during GR which is debit entry & GL which is maintained in the PO with the combnination of cost ceneter will be the Cr entry. Hope this helps you."
I'm still kind of confused. Normally, if a material master is maintained for an item, under accounting 1 view, we assign a valuation class. During GR, it will hit transaction key in OBYC - BSX and the system will be able to locate the corresponding GL account # mapped to that valuation class in the material master.
Now, for this "non codified material" you mentioned, how does the R/3 know which GL to assign? There's no accounting view for it since it's just a text description. This is where I'm really confused.
Thanks.
Steven

Creation of Process Order without assigning master recipe

Hi,
I want to create a process order without having default master recipe for the given material or default operation for the given order type. I want the user to select the master recipe manually in process order. We do not want to use production version also.
We can define the default operation for the order type (OPJG) so that we can create a process order. I do not want a default operation in the process order but the user should select a valid master recipe. If we have default operation in the process order, it serves no purpose as it is never used anywhere.
Is there any way we can achieve this?
Regards,

Hi,
Please find the required details and conditions for creating process orders without master recipe.

Purchasing document without material master

Hi All ,
I was reading one document (MM-IM) .. there it is mentioned that
"The purchasing department can also order materials or services for which no material master record is defined. These are usually materials or services that are only purchased once (for example, material for paving a parking lot). The Purchasing department uses a text to describe the materials that do not have a material number and assigns materials to a material group, both of which are entered in the purchase order. These materials are not included in stock; instead, when they are received, they are posted to consumption."
To understand this functionality , I did create one PO item with ITEM CATEGORY T ( not sure !!!!! ) and maintained short text against it.The purchase Order type is "Standard PO"
But when i am trying to make a GR agst it , system is prompting an error " No Item available" .....
Just wondering what should be the correct process for it.
Can anyone pls help me
Regards/SANDEEP

Hi,
Instead of T item category that you have done pl arrange to give the Account assignment say 'K' or 'F' or 'A' etc,.
This means that the Value of goods hit the consumptio account directly.
Similarly, Material which has or does'nt have a material code may be procured for Direct Consumption(as above).
Hence the procurement made against a Material with only short text requires Account Assignment.
I think with the above you will be in a place to post the same.
In case of any further issues ,Pl post with details of Account assignment & the GR/IR Control.
Thanks & Regards,

Purchase Order from Material Master Price

Hi All,
Can I customise the system in such a way without any development in which I want that while creating PO the system should take the Price from Material Master if no Info record is maintained.
Thanks,
Lekhram

If you are using the requisition to create the PO then it is possible other wise not.
If you use PR
the do the follosing setting in OMET trasnction, select the adopt PO price
the go to SU3 and enter the parameter id = EFB and value = Function authorization code (e.g 01)
now when you create the PR
on valuation tab you can see the field PO price
select the price as gross or net price
this will copy the Mateiral price (PR price) to the PO

Creation of production order without material reference

Hi Guys,
Can anybody propose the solution for the following scenario :
When a raw material issued to a production order gets scrapped but at the same time that raw material which is scrapped can aslo be cut through some seperate operation and can be used for someother purpose later time for the same industry then in that case how to deal with the scenario????
Thanx in advance
Venkat

Dear Venkat,
when ever a raw material sis getting scrapped, you need to decide where you want to scrap wit as a product or as a byproduct or return to store as damaged raw material by reversing the movement -261.
If you got for the first option-as a product
then perform the confirmation with qty as rework qty. go for rework order configuration (order with out material).
If you want to treat it as a by product
then do the GR with 0 qty, but in the good movement screen enter this product material with -ve qty and movement type which supports the byproduct-531(in std SAP),
effect is the cost of this will be removed from parent product order.
Now you got back the material in stores, identify the material by means of a batch.
You can now think of reissuing it to other order or scrap if it is completely damaged at the end of period.
If you want to return it as a damaged raw material
reverse the transaction of 261 and send the material back to stores with a identification by means of batch or manual identification.
Please come back if required
