Difference between std procurement and service procurement & advantages?

Dear Gurus,
what are the differences between standard procurement and service procurement &
advantages of External services management?
Thanks...

hi,
In std procurement we procure materials while in the service procurement we procure services...sap has given these two differently may be bacause while procuring the services you never know in advance that how much exact amount is req. just because you don't know for eg wether there is any req. of changing the parts, or general maintenence or anything else...
so due to this you use the value limits....
Advantage: As the services procured are not FIXED as in the std procurement, we do have flexibility for adding up the new services as per the req...
and as we provide the value limits, in the real time scenerio it doesnot cause any FI problem later...
Regards

Difference between Change request and Service request

HI All,
Can any body tell me the actual difference between Change request and Service Request. Does it have any difference ? Or they are same.

Are you referring to the project Specific Terms ??? If yes, then following are the differences.
Change Request - Suppose user is using a Sales Report which displays Revenue by Customer. Now the user wants to see the same by Product as well which is not available in the current report. So the user raises a Change request and the development team works on it to include the same and make it avaialable for the user.
Service Request - These kind of requests are more likely raised when the user needs access to some system (raise service request to Security team), wants to move a transport to the Production box (raise Service request to Basis Team)..etc.

Difference between Blanket PO and Service PO

Hi,
     Can anyone let me know the difference between the blanket PO and the service PO. Please let me know in detail.
Regards,
Ashwin

Dear,
BLANKET PO : For consumable materials supply for long period and reduce the entry work each time.
You can create a purchase order which has a longer validity period (for example a year) and an item-specific value limit. Using Blanket purchase order, it is possible to procure different consumable materials or external services, for which more detailed individual processing (purchase order, goods receipt, invoice entry) is considered uneconomical.
The materials or services are grouped under a heading or super ordinate term and represented as an item of blanket order. Prices for the individual materials are not recorded in purchase order.
A key advantage of blanket purchase order is reduction in processing costs.
-     Different materials and/or services are procured over a long period with a single PO item.
-     It is not necessary to issue separate purchase orders for individual procurement transactions.
-     There is no goods receipt or service entry process.
-     Neither RFQ nor contract can be created.
     It is possible to change the account assignment when entering invoice.
     You can also switch from single to multiple account assignment during invoice entry.
     If you have entered account assignment U Unknown in PO item, you must manually enter account assignment data
when entering invoice (subject to change has defined as permissible in CUSTOMIZING u2013 MATERNAL MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT u2013 MAINTAIN ACCOUNT ASSGINMENT CATEGORIES).
CHARACTERISTICS OF BLANKET PURCHASE ORDER
     Order type FO (Framework order)
o     Validity period in header of purchase order (field selection).
     Item category B (Limit)
o     Limits in the item
o     No material number
o     Account assignment category U allowed
o     No goods receipt or service entry
     Accounting data for the item suggested in invoices
     Additional or multiple account assignment possible in invoice verification
     Check of validity period and limit in invoice verification.
To be able to work with validity periods and limits in purchase order you must use document type FO and item category B.
-     Document type FO enables you to specify the validity period at PO header level and use the item category B for limit items.
-     You cannot specify a material number in a PO item with item category B.
-     You have to specify a material / service group.

Syed Hussain.

Difference between Frame order and service order

Hello guys,
Can anybody tell me the difference between the Frame order and work order in system point of view?
Which are the steps for doing the

Hi Sam,
Framework order: -
Purchasing document used to procure materials or external services. Instead of stipulating a specific delivery date, this type of purchase order has an extended validity period.
Framework orders are defined via the document type FO. They are used in accelerated procurement processes in connection with maintenance/ servicing plans or invoicing plans, and for blanket purchase orders (purchase orders with limits).
A framework order covers multiple procurement transactions over a longer period in cases where the administrative costs of processing discrete POs would be disproportionately high.
Services Order: -
Used as a means of documenting service and customer service activities
in Logistics - General (LO),, Order comes to
Describes a task which is to be carried out within a company.
The order specifies:
    - which task is to be carried out
    - when the task is to be carried out
    - what is needed to carry out the task
    - how the order costs are to be settled

Info on Service procurement and Material procurement in Purchasing

hi
we are dealing with a purchase register for services report and a purchase register for material report.
Can anyone explain in detail about material procurement and service procurement in MM and
what are all the documents created/ involved in the flow and explain the relationships between these documents ( between PO & GRN&INVOICE like i,e 1:m or 1:1)?
1. PURCHASING - MATERIAL PROCUREMENT
PO->GRN->INVOICE.
2.PURCHASING - SERVICE PROCUREMENT
PO->_?_-> INVOICE.
And differences between material and service procurement.

Hi,
Material POs.
One PO, Item can have many GRN Items.
One GRN Item can have multiple Invoice items.
This is same for services as well.
In Services, the equivalent of GRN is acceptance of the service entry sheets.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Difference between a Search and a Retrieve web service?

Anyone has any idea what's the difference between a Search and Retrieve web-services generated by the 7.1 WS Generator? It seems like you can use both to retrieve any kind of result definition and search by any field.
I don't mind really, just curious if I'm missing something.

Googling led me to this:
Authentication:
Portal: You log-in to the site. Provides you with information based on who you are.
e.g. mail.yahoo.com
Website: No log-in.
e.g. www.yahoo.com
Personalization:
Portal: Limited, focused content. Eliminates the need to visit many different sites.
e.g. you type in your user name and password and see your yahoo mail only.
Website: Extensive, unfocused content written to accommodate anonymous users needs.
Customization :
Portal: You will select and organize the materials you want to access. Organized with the materials you want to access.
Website: Searchable, but not customizable. All content is there for every visitor.
e.g. you can navigate to yahoo mail, yahoo shopping, geo cities, yahoo group. If you wish to use any of these services you will either have to authenticate yourself and see things personalized to you or you can simply visit sections that are for everyone like yahoo news were if you are not signed in then the default sign in is guest.

What is the difference between Business System and Business Service?

Hi
Please tell me what is the difference between Business System and Business Service...? In real time at what situation we will use Business System and in what situations we will use Business Service..? Please help me
Best Regards
Ravi Shankar B

HI,
Business system:
If you want to address a particular business system as the sender or receiver of messages, choose this service type.
A business system is an actual application system in a system landscape. A business system (service) comprises information about the inbound and outbound interfaces and the software component versions of the business system.
You usually use business system services when configuring internal company processes.
Business Service:
If you want to address an abstract business entity as the sender or receiver of messages, choose this service type.
Using a business service, you can define the technical or business subunits of the companies involved and then assign them the relevant interfaces.
You usually use business services when configuring cross-company processes. In this case, you only make your interfaces known to the business partners involved and either do not make any details about your own system landscape available, or only specific details.
For example, you can define RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes (PIPs) as business services.
Regards,
Sudheer.

Hi All,
Can any one explain in detail difference between Business system and Business service.

Bapuraj

Hi Bapuraj,
Business System
Business system is a logical system, and there is an importance on physical existence of the system.Also SLD entry is required.
It is generally used for SAP applications, this is just a general prinicple followed but not mandatory.
Business Component(formerly Service)
You use a Business Component, when you do not have the System details of the the partner system to which you want to communicate. i.e. you have not configured the partner system in SLD.
Business Service is an Absract Unit with Sender and Receiver Interfaces,In this case you need to explicitly add the message interfaces while doing configuration in ID.
It is generally used for NON-SAP applications, this is just a general prinicple followed but not mandatory.
