Deleted purchase order with release strategy

Hi all,
When PO are deleted, the release strategy is disabled. However, if you mark final invoice and delivery completed indicators, the release strategy is triggered, even if the po is deleted.
Is it possible to disable the release strategy when final invoice and delivery completed indicator are marked?
Thank you for your answer

The technical expert in my team has found the explanation to that problem:
A deleted item is "statistical" => there is no release strategy (standard control in ME_REL_STRATEGIE_EKKO function module)
But if ''final invoice'' and ''delivery completion'' are marked, the item is NOT statistical (standard control in LMEPOF4X include)
Therefore, a release strategy is redetermined even if the item is deleted
Thank you all for having tried to help

Print Preview Purchase Order with release strategy

Hi gurus,
With release stratregy you can not print a PO before release through ME9F. The system will give error message 'No corrosponding document found'. However, you can print PO through 'Print Preview' by clicking on Print icon in ME22N, we need that "Print Preview"doesn't print PO without release. System it shouldn't print.
Thank you!

Hope you are using Z output type & print program for PO printing. You can restrict this by modification in program. Please do it with help of abaper.

FM Budget Update when reducing Purchase Orders versus Release Strategy

Hi,
We noticed that whenever we reduce the amount of a Purchase Order, the budget is immediately returned to the budget independently of its release status. The budget should only be returned once the changes have been accepted (i.e. at the end of the release strategy).
How can this be achieved? Do I need to make changes to the customisation or are there Badi's and/or user-exits that can be used to change the behaviour?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Guy

Hello Guy,
The budget keeps beeing consumed even though the purchase requisition has been rejected.
The commitment item will only be reduced if you set the deletion indicator.
This means that the budget is not returned just by rejecting the purchase requisition.
Regarding the point that the budget was consumed even if the po was not released, I kindly ask you to check the following information:
According to note 597854, the SAP internal BAdI 'ME_COMMTMNT_PO_RELEV' is defined in a manner allowing you to decide whether the order updates the commitments of the purchase order or not, corresponding to the header data of the purchase order.
The following exceptions are valid in this case:
o Purchase orders that already have a purchase order history or
o Purchase orders, that were actively saved (not held) and already
released, or are not subject to release,
I suggest you to check the BAdIs 'ME_COMMTMNT_PO_RELEV' and 'ME_COMMTMNT_PO_REL_C' and their documentation.
Also, please review attached note 942582 - BAdI ME_COMMTMNT_PO_REL_C
I hope this information will help you to solve this incidence.
Best Regards,
Vanessa Barth.

List of purchase orders with release code

I want a list of purchase orders which are pending for an approval (release) from a particular release code.
I can get it from ME28 by putting relase code and plant. But this is not to be used as it asks for authorization.
Can we get the same information from any other T-code / report ?

Hi
You can write a simple query using table EKKO and EKPO.

Purchase Order E-mailing with Release Strategy

Hello,
We are experiencing an issue when e-mailing a Purchase Order which has a release strategy. When the order is released, the confirmation e-mails are going to the person who releases it when it is supposed to go to the person who has created the P.O. We are using a Smartform P.O. based on /SMB11/BL_MM_PO_L and print program /SMB40/FM06P. I must note that there was a bug found in the aforementioned print program and before that was fixed e-mailing would not work at all.
We have also attempted to use all combinations of standard unmodified print programs and standard unmodified smartforms and have had no luck at getting the confirmation e-mail to send to the correct person this way either.
SAP has recommended that we use program SAPFM06P with form Medruck. While this combination does work correctly, Medruck is not a Smartform. Has anybody here used a smartform Purchase Order with a release strategy and had the confirmation e-mail send to the created and not the releasor?
Below is a list of the print programs and forms we have tried in various combinations. We are running ECC6/Basis 7
Print Programs:
/SMB11/FM06P
/SMB40/FM06P
SAPFM06P (Sapscript Only)
Forms:
/SMB11/BL_MMPO_L
/SMB11/MMPO_L
/SMB40/MMPO_L

Hi,
Purchase order via e-mail in SAP sys,the configurations and pre-requisites are follow:
1. You must maintain an e-mail address in the address in the vendor master.
2. The same applies to your own user master. You also have to specify an e-mail address there in order to identify the sender.
Note that it is not possible to change the e-mail address of the vendor via the SAP purchase order transaction (ME21N, ME22N, and so on). The system only uses the e-mail address of the vendor that is maintained in the vendor master!
3. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail. You can find the definition of the communication strategy in the Customizing via the following path: (SPRO -> IMG -> SAP Web Application Server -> Basic Services -> Message Control -> Define Communication Strategy). As a default, communication strategy CS01 is delivered. This already contains the necessary entry for the external communication. Bear in mind that without a suitable communication strategy it is not possible to communicate with a partner via Medium 5 (external sending).
4. Use the standard SAP environment (program 'SAPFM06P', FORM routine 'ENTRY_NEU' and form 'MEDRUCK') as the processing routines.
5. In the condition records for the output type (for example, Transaction MN04), use medium '5' (External send).
6. You can use Transaction SCOT to trigger the output manually. The prerequisite for a correct sending is that the node is set correctly. This is not described here, but it must have already been carried out.
7. To be able to display, for example, the e-mail in Outlook, enter PDF as the format in the node.

Allow to create a purchase order with purchase requisiton item deleted

Dear all,
I have a question about creation purchase order process.
Firstly, I have a purchase requisition with 2 items, first of them is deleted.
If I try to create a purchase order thru transaction ME57N with the previous purchase requisition, I can only create it with one item (the one wich is not deleted)
However, if I try to create the purchase order thru transaction ME21N, with purchase requisition as reference, I can create the PO with item that was deleted in PR.
I don't understand why system allows to create a purchase order with an item that previously was deleted in PR.
Does anyone have a explanation about this issue?
Many thanks in advance
Best Regards.

Hi,
In the document overview of ME21N you get all the items of the purchase
requisitions, no matter if they are deleted or not.
When you convert the deleted item into a Purchase Order you get message
06 050 stating that this item is deleted in the purchase requisition.
This message can be defined as an error message in the customizing
transaction OME0. This way, it will not be possible to order an item
which is deleted in the referenced purchase requisition.

Purchase Order with Invoice Plan

Hi,
I need to understand working with Invoicing plans for a Purchase Order. Especially the service PO for the rents and other related services.
How the PO is linked to the Invoice Plan and how the process happens in SAP?
Thanks in advance!

Creating an Invoicing Plan
The following procedure describes how to create an invoicing plan with the pre-Enjoy ordering transactions (ME21, ME22, ME23).
The procedure described is also applicable u2013 with certain restrictions u2013 to the Enjoy purchase order (ME21N, ME22N, ME23N).
If you are using the Enjoy purchase order, you will find:
·         The Invoicing Plan button and the indicators for GR-based invoice verification (GR-Based IV), service-based invoice verification (Srv.-Based IV), evaluated receipt settlement (ERS), and invoice receipt (Inv. Receipt) among the item details on the Invoice tab page.
·         The account assignment among the item details on the Account Assignment tab page
·         The Goods Receipt and GR Non-Valuatedindicators among the item details on the Delivery tab page
Prerequisites
Vendor Master Record
Before you can use the invoicing plan with automatic settlement, the Evaluated Receipt Settlement Delivery indicator must be set on the Purchasing Data screen in the vendor master record.
(If you wish to enter invoicing dates manually, this is not necessary.)
Purchase Order
●     We recommend using a framework order (that is a purchase order with a validity period and a reason for rejection). The invoicing plan can adopt the validity period specified in the PO header.
●     PO items for which you wish to use an invoicing plan must have account assignment irrespective of whether a material with a master record, a material described by a short text, or an external service is involved.
●     The GR/IR control facility must be set up in such a way that no goods receipt (or, in the case of services, no service entry) is expected - only an incoming invoice. If you wish to have automatic settlement, you must also set the Evaluated Receipt Settlement indicator.
If you nevertheless wish to allow service entry sheets for the item (e.g. for information purposes only), you must set the GR Non-Val. indicator.
Customizing
Under Purchase Order à Invoicing Plan in Customizing for Purchasing, you can maintain data such as the desired invoicing plan types, date categories, and date descriptions.
Procedure
       1.      Create a purchase order with account assignment (framework order).
Click to access the item overview (or the overview of service lines if you chose item category D for services).
       2.      Enter the desired material or service, the quantity, and the price.
       3.      Select the desired item and click Account Assignments to access the account assignment screen. Enter the account assignment for this item.
       4.      Click to access the item detail screen. Check that the GR/IR control indicators are set correctly on the item detail screen.
○     The GR and GR-Based Invoice Verification or Service-Based Invoice Verification indicators must not be set.
○     IR must be set.
○     You must set ERS if you wish to have Evaluated Receipt Settlement.
○     If you wish to have service entry sheets purely for information, for example, allow non-valuated goods receipt (i.e. select the GR Non-Val and GR indicators).
       5.      Choose Item ® Invoicing Plan. A window appears, in which the invoicing plan types predefined in Customizing are suggested. Choose the desired invoicing plan type and click Continue.
You can use the following invoicing plan types:
○     Periodic Invoicing Plan
■      You use the periodic invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in each period.
■      The system creates the invoicing dates automatically on the basis of the settings in Customizing.
■      The invoicing date and the amount to be invoiced are shown for each settlement period (e.g. month). In the case of the periodic invoicing plan, the amount represents the total value of the PO item.
■      You can change the suggested dates and block individual dates for automatic invoicing if necessary.
■      You can enter the start and end dates for the invoicing plan.
■      With the Dates from and Dates to fields, you can determine that an invoicing plan does not contain invoicing dates extending over the entire validity period of the purchase order but only for a certain period within that validity period. (E.g. within a validity period from 1.1. to 12.31, only dates within the period 1.1. to 06.30.)
■      With the Horizon field, you control how far into the future dates can be created. If you enter a date rule that adds six months to the current date here, invoicing dates will be created for just half a year in advance in each case.
The system automatically creates new dates if you change the invoicing plan or when you invoke the transaction for Updating Periodic Invoicing Plans. See Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
■      The In Advance indicator allows you to specify whether the invoice is to be created with regard to a prior or subsequent period. (E.g. at the beginning of February, either in advance for the month of February or in arrears for the month of January).
■      In addition, fields with information on the existing invoicing plan are displayed (e.g. the calendar upon which the date determination process is based).
○     Partial Invoicing Plan
■      You use the partial invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in several partial amounts.
■      You get an empty date overview in which you can manually enter the desired dates.
■      If you work with a reference invoicing plan, the system automatically generates dates in accordance with the reference plan.
You have the following options:
●      You create a reference invoicing plan in Customizing for the invoicing plan type.
●      You enter an existing invoicing plan as reference plan directly in the invoicing plan for the PO item.
■      You can flag a date in field B (Billing/Invoicing Rule) as follows:
●      As a down payment (percentage or value)
●      As an invoicing date (percentage or value)
●      As a final invoice
       6.      Click to return to the item overview.
       7.      Click to save the purchase order item with the invoicing plan.
You can then start the automatic invoice creation process during invoice verification.
For more information, refer to the section Settlement of Amounts Due Under Invoicing Plans.
Once assigned to an item, the invoicing plan type (e.g. partial invoicing plan) cannot be changed. If you wish to assign a different invoicing plan type, you must delete the item and create a new one.
Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
If you have assigned a periodic invoicing plan to a PO item but have not initially defined invoicing dates covering the entire validity period of the purchase order, you can generate further dates in due course.
You have created a PO item with a periodic invoicing plan for a certain planned procurement. The purchase order is valid from 1.1. to 12.31. When creating the invoicing plan, you specified one invoicing date per month for the first half of the year. You have not yet planned any dates for the second half of the year because you do not wish information from the invoicing plan to be passed on to purchase order commitments at this stage, for example.
By mid-June, it is clear that the PO is to proceed as envisaged, and you therefore wish to schedule invoicing dates for the remainder of its validity period.
Procedure
To schedule further invoicing dates, proceed as follows:
Choose Purchase order ® Follow-on functions ® Period. invoicing plan
Specify the purchase orders for which invoicing dates are to be generated in the invoicing plan and perform the function.
A log can be created if desired.
Result
The system adds further dates on the basis of information such as the validity period or horizon from Customizing, the purchase order, and the invoicing plan.

Is there a way to view the information of a deleted Purchase Order?

Hi SAP Experts,
Is there a transaction or program that could help me retrieve the information of a deleted purchase order? (Header and LI) Please take into consideration that the document can no longer be retrieved in SAP thru the regular t/codes.
Thank you,

Try with t.code AUT10 -Audit trail using which you can see the change histories.

Purchase Order with reference to Purchase Requisition

Hello
I have this situation:
One Purchase Requisition with quantity of 10.
When I issue a Purchase Order with reference to this purchase requisition, for the moment I can use this Purchase Requisition many times. For example: two Purchase Order with the same purchase requisition, same item and same quantity.
The objective is thay the system only allows to use the Purchase Requisition until the quantity is completed. For example: one purchase order for 10, or two purchase orders with 5 each. But never with a quantity superior to the total quantity in the purchase requisition.
Somebody can help?
Thank you,
Elena

Hi,
1) By setting the configuration paths as suggested by the previous posts.
2) In the first place, when converting a PR in PO Create Screen (ME21N), you should make the Open only and Released only field as Display. This way, the results will only show Open and Released PRs to be converted to PO
Hope this helps

"Document contains no items"
Query's:
1. Do I need to release the PR for using it in PO?
2. If so how can I work with the "BAPI_REQUISITION_RELEASE_GEN" to release PR?
I have tried using the BAPI getting the following error "Release outside filed of responsibility".
Please help I am in critical Postion...

ME21N Create Purchase Order with reference to previous Purchase Order

Hello Expert,
Previously have been using Purchase Info Records for reference when creating Purchase Orders using ME21N. We then have deleted the Pricing Condition in the Purchase Info Record using ME12. Now when we are trying to create a new Purchase Order with the same values (Vendor, Material, Plant and Storage Location), the transaction code ME21N automatically fetches the previous values of the Pricing Condition as if it was cached. I remember of studying this in the MM academy but I am not sure how to disable it.
This error only happens when we are creating the first Purchase Order after the deletion, for the second Purchase Order, error will be prompted to the user saying that the Pricing Condition could not be found.
I would like to ask where in configuration can I delete this cache behaviour or is that any work around for this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Antony,
I found the "Update Prices" function in the Conditions Tab of the Item Details helps to refresh the data and fetch the new information from the Purchase Info Record. I would like to ask is there anyway to provoke this function automatically everytime when a user runs the transaction ME21N.
Thanks in advance again.
