Direct Material Catalog

Hi,
I have a doubt in CCM for Direct Material.
SRM 4.0 , CCM 2.0 - Classic Scenario
I am transferring material from BE - SRM - CCM & getting correctly updated in my procurement catalog & after Publish , user can also able to select items from catalog. Functionality works fine.
Here I want to know the linkage between Master Catalog & Procurement catalog which I have created for Direct materials. Is it the Product Catagory which are mapped are updating my Procurement catalog after Master entries are approved? or there is some other linkage which updates Procurement catalog for Direct material?
If I create a second procurement catalog with same schema, how system will identify correct catalog to be updated?
BR

Yes, Product Catagory which are mapped will update Procurement catalog after Master entries are approved. In case both the procurement catalogs have identicle schemas and if mapping is done accordingly with master catalog then both the catalog will be updated with same product data from the extracted catalog.

Order as direct material in catalog, with contract

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.5 and we have an issue concerning direct materials in a SC.
In the shopping cart via a catalog, when you choose "Order as direct material" function for an item on the 'Basic data' detail screen, the information about the contract assigned to that item disapear.
This situation doen't happen when we do a SC with reference to a contract, but without being in catalog.
Do you have any idea about the reason of this behaviour?
Many thanks,

Order as Direct material Tab activation

Hi Guys,
I select some materials from catalog and transfer them to SRM system and some materials I find a tab with ORDER AS DIRECT material. where as for some material I do not find, when I click on the Order as direct material this goes into a stock item.
So in order to activate this for some Vendor catalogues what are specific settings I need to follow.
Please suggest.
This is extended classic scenario and Version 5.0
Thanks for your replies

Srujank

Hi Srujank,
"order as direct material' will be available only for Product of type 'Material'. It is not available in case of product type 'Service'. Please, check if your product is of type material or not.

Account assignment check for non-direct material in shopping cart creation

Hello Guru's
i'm very new to SRM please help me
We require all non-direct material shopping carts to be ordered with a valid account assignment. Therefore we implemented BADi ZUB2MB_DP_PROD_CHK to suppress the u201COrder as Direct Materialu201D Button. This button allows any order to be placed without account assignment like a direct material.
We started ordering direct materials in SRM at go-live with a cost center, but when they were received, SAP considered them consumed due to the account assignment and did not place them into QA Inspection or assign a batch. We immediately, switched back to SAP for direct materials.
We need a solution that will require all non direct material shopping carts to have account assignments, while allowing direct materials to be ordered with or without account assignments. All while keeping the current checks in place regarding the mixing of account assignments, Z required for TBI catalogs, etc.
please tell me how to write the logic in the DOC_CHEK_BADI to check weather account assignment is made for non-direct material while creating a shopping cart.
thanks in advance....

Account Assignment notification, should be take care by standard SRM functionality itself..
Your using SRM 7.0 or 5.0 ??
Thanks!!

Error in Order as direct material with PPS activated

Hi,
Using SRM 7.0, EHP-1 activated PPS. Before activating PPS direct material scenario worked fine. After activating the PPS I getting the following error.
No account assignment exists; enter an account assignment.
Created new account assignment category and assigned that in u201CSet Default Account Assignment Category for Direct Materialu201D. Even after that also I am getting the above error. Please suggest where I am doing mistake. Only for down payments purposes we activated the PPS. Now SRM system is only working for purchase orders with account assignment and getting the above error immediately after pressing on order as direct material. I am not able to transfer Purchase requisitions also. In SLG1 getting the above error.
Please suggest what to do.

Assign direct material cost to value field in copa while issue to Prod orde

Dear All,
My requirement is like this:
There are some 16 material groups from A to P each containing some materials(finished goods).
I want to allocate overhead to different material groups(Charecteristic in copa) in COPA using the periodic assesment cycles. I am able to allocate overhead(admin & sales cost) to different value fields in copa from different cost centers.
I want to analyse the product cost and also the profitability of each material group in COPA using Report painter. Iam able to pull all the costs which i assign to value fields using assessment. But, i am NOT able to get the direct material cost which is issued to production orders using BOM.
My question is whether we can assign the direct material cost to any user defined value field(material cost value field) while the material is being issued to production orders. Is there any automated way where we can directly assign the direct material cost to value field in copa while issuing the material to Production orders.
Pls explain me whether we can do it. if yes how?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu
VST-IT.

PA is a Profitability analysis tool. That means it gets updated when a sale is made, not before. (Except for settlements and assessment of overheads.)
Goods issues for production gets updated in CO-PC, and needs to be analysed there. If you don't, you loose all the inbuilt tools for variance analysis, cost estimate comparisons, Wip Calculation etc. To the best of my knowledge, a Profitability Segment cannot be used as a cost object in Production Planning, because amongst others, you need to be able to capitalise the produced materials to stock at the end of the production run, or to WIP at the end of the Financial period,which is not possible with PS.
Similarly, overheads are recorded in CCA and needs to be analysed there.
If one goes against these big groupings in SAP, you always run into problems.

"order as direct material" indicator is not coming in Shopping Cart.

Hi Experts,
I am trying to perform the employee self service procurement for a direct material. I have performed the below config and attribute maintenance.
1. Defined a new transaction type and new number range for local PO in SRM Config
2. In R/3 Back-End, for the same document type, I have ensured that number range is present
3. For my Root Organization, I have added "DP_PROC_TY" for "Transaction Type: Create PO manually" maintained with my above transaction type defined
4. I have selected my local P Group and added 001 Product Category with R/3 Back-end system as source system in "Responsibility" tab
After that I have started created Shopping Cart expecting to find "Order as Direct Material" indicator in Shopping Cart details.
But I could not be able to see that indicator in Shopping Cart. What I see is Product Category 001 but different P Group is coming.
Is this the reason, what I am missing. Please help.
Thanks & Regards

Source of supply doesnu2019t work for SC items ordered as direct material.

Hi there.
We are working in SRM 5.0 with classic scenario.
We are doing a SC with material code.
We create a SC with two identical items. The only difference between items is: one item is order as direct material and the other one not.
The problem is that for our item order as direct material, the system doesnu2019t propose any ECC contract or any ECC info record. But for our item not order as direct material, the system propose us ECC contract and ECC info record.
So for SC items orders as direct material, the system never proposes any source of supply.
However, in transaction BBPSOCO01 (Carry of sourcing) the systems propose source of supply OK for SC items with and without direct material.
Any suggest?
Thanks and regards.
Raúl.

Hi,
The issue might be because when you choose, 'order as direct', the scenario changes from classic to extended classic, hence only local contracts are proposed in this case. Since you don't have anything local, you will not see any source of supply. Try using bbp_sos_badi instead and call all backend contracts using fm meta_sourcedeter_getsos_multi.

Sanjeev

Order as Direct Material Changes the Delivery Address

Hello,
We have encountered an odd behavior when the Order as Direct Material button is pressed. The delivery address that previously displayed is changed to the plant address.
Is this normal? Can it be de-activated so that is does not changes the address?
Regards, Dean

Muthu,
Thanks for the reply.. been busy...Is there a way to change this behavior with BADIs, etc? I think I can do it BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI. However, I thought there might be a more elegant way .

Backend Source of Supply not supported for Direct Material in SRM

Hi ,
When creating S/C or PO in SRM for Direct Material , backend Source of Supply ( i..e Purchasing Info Record or Backend Contracts ) not availble to select as a sourc of supply .
In our case, we are planning to maintain the sourc of supply (PIR or Contracts) in back end MM system only , then how can pick up the same ?
Can anyone please suggest on this .
Regards
NAP

NO Prashanta,
It is still pending for me . i just raised OSS message to SAP ...but SAP saying that
" I checked and found that in the classic scenario , Direct Materials cannot use backend contracts. The behavior described above is in accordance with the system design. Only local sources of supply (local contracts and interlinkages) can be
used in the direct material scenario, as well as as in the extended classic scenario . Therefore the above error message which you get "Specify a valid contract" is valid."
I replied with the doubt that "Thanks for reply but we are not convenience, since what we learnt from
different SAP Blogs, Below SAP help and SRM Experts discussion forum
is, for Ext Classic Scenario (since for direct materials it always
tales by default Ext Classic Scenario, although we implemented Classic)
Local SRM contract and Supplier List are the possible Source of Supply.
As per SAP help documentation for Self-Service Procurement (Extended
Classic) on below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/e0/f6be5157a24340bf7b1279854a52e1/frameset.htm u201CYou can assign the sources proposed by the
system to items automatically (for example, if there is a single
contract for the item being procured) or manually in the case of a
quota arrangement, contract, or supplier from a supplier listu201D
As per SAP help documentation for Sourcing Using Supplier Lists on
below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/d8/33ec56f17f4404806072749f7e764f/frameset.htm u201CIn supplier lists, you can also manually allocate
back-end contracts from specific systems. This enables more effective
sourcing for back-end contractsu201D
In the Supplier List there is facility to enter the ECC Contract
Number. Supplier List donu2019t support local SRM contract. It supports
only ECC Contract /item.
As per your reply, do you mean to say that Source List is not a valid
Source of Supply for Direct Material in Classic Scenario (i.e. Ext
Classic scenario)? If not, then why the backend ECC Contract displays
as a Source of Supply, when we check the u201COrder as direct Materialu201D?
Kindly suggest"
Lets see.what SAP now replies.
Simultaniously I'm looking some enhancment
If you have nay update/soultion then please share with me.

Regarding direct material procurement in Classic scenario.

Hello SRM Gurus ,
We are implementing SRM5.0 classic scenario, (SSP with CCM).
As per standard , Shopping cart for a direct material (Requisition for
stock) will create a follow-on document in SRM only (controlled extended
classic scenario).
Client's requirement is that it should create a back-end PR in R/3 system.
Reason being, the client needs to have only one indenting system and one
procurement system.
which BAPI in R/3 for PR/PO has to be used to create PRs or Pos from SRM. Similarly, RFC which FMs have to be used to update status in SRM.
How to bypass the standard replication mechanism.
Please help me..
Thanks and regards,

Hi
Why not go for the BADI -> BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE
Or
Alternatively using SPRO settings, you can change the standard behaviour of the system based on various attrbutes e.g., for a Particular Product, Item category, etc.
Here is the Path ->
IMG -> Supplier Relationship Mnagement -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic settings -> Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations, Purch. Orders)
Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations,
You perform this step only if you create your Materials Management documents in a backend system.
You specify the documents that are to be created in the backend system for a requirement coverage request.
The following documents can be created:
Purchase requisition
Purchase order
Reservation
You enter a product category (such as office supplies, or hardware) and/or an organizational unit. The organizational unit contains the purchasing group that is responsible for procuring products in this category.
You can enter the product category generically, such as Office*.
Note
The backend system is determined using the product category in the requirement coverage request item. The item also contains the organizatinal unit.
You can use the Business Add-In BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE if you wish to implement a different logic for creating documents in the backend system.
Example
If purchasing group 01 wants to procure materials from the category Raw Materials, a reservation is to be created every time.
If materials in the category PC are to be procured, a purchase requisition is to be created every time.
Activities
1. Enter the organizational unit and/or the category.
2. Enter a source system.
3. Choose the procurement type.
Reservation if stock is available, otherwise external procurement
The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management and sufficient stock quantity is available in the warehouse on the requested date.
Always reservation for materials subject to inventory management
The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management, irrespective of whether stock is available.
Always external procurement
The system does not create a reservation, but always procures the item externally. In this case, you specify the type of external procurement.
The following options are significant if the system cannot create a reservation (for example, if there is no stock available or for a non-stock item) or the system must not create a reservation (choose Always external procurement).
Purchase order if item data complete, otherwise purchase requisition
The system always tries to create a purchase order. If the item data is incomplete (for example, the vendor or price is not known), the system creates a purchase requisition from the item.
Always purchase requisition
The system always creates a purchase requisition.
Always local purchase order
The system always creates a local purchase order.
Hope this will help.
Please reward suitable points.

SRM MM-SUS for Direct Material ( i.e. Ext Classic Scenario)

Hi Friends,
We are planning to have the Classic Scenario in SRM 7.0 with SUS. So it will be SUS-MM scenarion and it supports only for Classic Scenario,
But when there is a case of Direct Materials [ Manual or through PDP ( Ext Req) ], it is SAP by defaullt setting that , system determine Extended Classic Scenario.
Now , if SUS-MM supports only to Classic scenario ,then we can collaborate the Orders of Direct Material genereted through Ext Classic Scenario in SUS ?
Confused over these contrast . Can any one suggest that how to get both one in SUS-MM ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for reply.
It seems here is some confusion. PDP of Dircet Material is standard SRM secarion where we can soure the requieremnets generted in various SAP Module like PS, PM , SD, APO..etc. So We just hav eintenstion to source the requiermnet in Sourcing cockpit to create the PO .
Okay. For time being , forget the PDP of Direct Material.
Just take the Direct Material ( For which we mention inventory or we procure for stock) only.
By SAP standard / defualt setting , for Direct Material , local PO is generted ,althoug we have mentioned Classic Senrion setting for the same . And it is Extended Classic Scenarion. Right!
At another side , it is SAP standrad that SUS-MM senarion support for only CLASSIC SCENARIO.
Then , my conern is how we can send these Local orders for dircet Material to Supplier via SUS ? Wether it is not possible ?
