u2022     Listed materials
u2022     Excluded materials
u2022     Item proposal
u2022     Customer/material info records
Now I am getting the below mentioned error :
1)     If I do not run report SDPVGEN the sales order material created after running this report does not comes while create a new sales order
2)     While creating the sales order for the same customer material numbers are automatically coming in the sales order without quantityu2026u2026. According to me it should not come directly in sales order it should give the selection screen to select the material with quantity
3)     It does not consider material which is in material listing, if no any order is created for that material number
4)     Its not taking in to consideration to item proposal material automatically, to get the item proposal material in newly created sales order I need to press CNTRL+F1
Kindly Help.

hi,
1) sdpv is the report you need to generate for the explosion of Dynamic product proposal into the sales order.
2) Dynamic product proposal is an extension to Item proposal, in Item proposal you have to click " propose items"
button to display the selection and so on........ however, in DPP system will automatically retrieve the data
using the Function module and source you have mentioned say " order history " without quantity.

Dynamic Product Proposal
A product proposal is a list of products for a specific customer that is automatically proposed during sales document processing. You can decide for yourself which materials should be displayed as product proposals in the sales document. You can also determine the sequence in which the materials appear in the product proposal.
During sales document processing, the system displays a product proposal in the item overview according to the customer and the business transaction. It displays the material number, material description, and historical order quantites in the sales unit last used. To use a material again, you just have to copy it. The system does not run the standard checks (pricing, availability, incompletion, material determination, free goods determination and so on) until you have entered the order quantities.
The product proposal is both an entry help and an aid to sales support and promotions. It is particularly useful in Telesales, where the employee automatically receives a display of all the materials that are of interest to a particular customer. This helps them to provide appropriate advice to the customer quickly and easily. The sales document history enables you to analyse the purchasing behaviour of a customer and recognize early on if it changes, for instance, when the customer suddenly stops ordering a product.
The product proposal differs to cross-selling in that it is dependent on the customer and sales area, and is displayed in the sales document as soon as you have entered a customer. Cross-selling, on the other hand, is triggered by a material. In other words, the system proposes cross-selling materials according to the material or a characteristic of the material you have entered.
You can determine the product proposal from different data sources:
     Order history
     Listed materials
     Excluded materials
     Item proposal
     Customer-material info records
     Customer-specific data sources
You can combine materials from these data sources to create a product proposal. The system then accesses the data sources either online or in the background.
To define a product proposal for sales document processing, you must carry out the following activities in Customizing:
     Define customer procedure for product proposal
     Define document procedure for product proposal
     Assign document procedure for product proposal to order types
     Maintain table of origin for product proposal
     Define product proposal procedure and determine access sequences
     Maintain procedure determination (in background) for product proposal
     Maintain procedure determination (online) for product proposal
The product proposal procedure determines how the system displays the product proposal in the sales document. For instance, if the system has accessed the order history, it determines how many columns should be displayed in the sales document, in which period intervals thehistoric order quantities should be displayed (for instance, day, week, or month), and most importantly, the sequence in which the system should access the data sources (for example, order history, listing, exclusion).
The product proposal procedure depends on the:
     Customer determination procedure
The customer procedure determines which product proposal procedure the system automatically uses when you create a sales document for a particular customer.
It is specified in the customer master record per sales area.
     Document determination procedure
The document procedure determines which product proposal procedure the system automatically uses for a certain document type. The document procedure is stored as a key in the header for the sales document type.
If you use online processing, the product proposal procedure is determined according to the customer and document determination procedures.
If you use background processing, the product proposal procedure is determined according to the sales area in the customer master and the customer determination procedure. It does not use the document determination procedure because the document type is not recognized in background processing.
It will help .

Dynamic product proposal

Hi,
I am working on ECC 6.0.
When I am working with the Dynamic product proposal in the sales order for a customer who is asssigned
active,the order quantity is not getting copied from the second sales order.However it is only copying the nelwy added materials
and not the order quantity.
It is only copying the order quantity of the materials which are existing in the first sales order.
I am using the FM SD_DPP_HISTORY.
Note : To copy the items entered in the previous sales order then I configured dynamic product proposal (DPP) in the IMG->SD->Basic Functions->Dynamic product proposal
you can configure for online sales order creation or background sales order creation
maintained the functional module SD_DPP_HISTORY in the access sequence of the product proposal procedure
and maintained the PP cust. proc. (customer product proposal) in the sales area data ...
sales tab of the customer master data
Thanks in reply.

Manohar S

Ben,
Thx, but Ive already assigned the value there and it does not work. All the settings in customizing under Dynamic Product proposal are made. But when I enter a customer in VA01 nothing happens. And as I understand it based on customer and document type, automatically a proposal can be made. Instead of adding the proposal by hand, by selecting an item proposal.
I read somewhere that you can activate product proposal but in the sales order screen (Edit Display range Product proposal active inactive) , can not be used (light grey). There is something that Iam missing, but what..?

Can the dynamic product proposal returned to a sales order be sorted by the material description?

I have created a dynamic product proposal using the customer material information record CMIR as the source. During sales order entry the product proposal sorts by material number and due to the number of materials in the CMIR the business would like to be able to sort by material description to streamline material selection. Is this possible? Is it possible to sort any of the product proposal types for a sales order by anything other than the product (material) code?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,

Hi,
Please check if the material you are trying to invoice has the cost estimate released properly and which is updated in the material master as the planned price.
Good Luck!!!!!
Thanks and Regards,

Difference between Item Proposal and Dynamic Product Proposal

Dear All,
What is the difference between Item Proposal ( VA51) and Dynamic Product Proposal?
Thanks and Regards
Deepak Joshi

Hi,
In item proposal when u enter the details in the sales document you have to click on propose items to get the list
the customer regularly purchases.
While in dynamic product proposal once you specify the sold to party and press enter , system automaticall gives you
the list of the materials the customer regularly purchases, it a faster way of entry than item proposal.
please let me know if i am wrong.
Thanks,

Send mail to spool list recipient from dynamically generated job

Hi Friends,
We are running the SAP payment run daily in background mode using the transaction F110S (program SAPF110S). We have scheduled the program SAPF110S to run in SM36 and have specified an email address there as Spool List Recipient.
The problem is that SAPF110S itself will dynamically create two new jobs: a job for the Proposal Run and a 2nd job for the Payment Run of F110. The name the system assigns to these jobs are generated at job release/start time in the format F110_CompanyCode_yyyymmdd - X (for the proposal step) and F110_CompanyCode_yyyymmdd (for the payment step).
The proposal and payment steps can create spool output. We want to have that mailed automatically by the system to a spool list recipient.
The problem is that these proposal and payment job steps which are created do not get a spool list recipient assigned, it is empty in SM37.
Is there any way to ensure that the spool list recipient which is populated in the calling job in SM36 gets transferred to the dynamically created proposal and payment steps jobs?
Thanks for your advice.
regards
Mike

Hi,
At the moment sending custom e-mails from front-end via forms is not a feature on our road-map.
What information do you want to include in the respective form, what are the fields supposed to be present in the form? You still have the auto-responder and the custom message in the workflow that could hopefully assist.

How to configure item proposal

Hello Gurus, i'm trying to configure item proposal...but can't see the effect on VA01..i've created VA51 record for item proposal and then assigned in XD02 at sales in sales data....is there any thing else i've to still do...so that when i put the partnet function-SP number in VA01...it should give the message or record of the existing item proposal? Please correct me if i'm wrong. Thanx

Hi,
Item propsal is a list of materials which you can call up during the order entry.
You create the item proposal by trazaction VA51.
Where as Dunamic Product Prossal( which you are refering as Product proposal )is dynamic order entry tool.
Dynamic Product proposal can be determined by different data sources as below.
Order history.
Listed materials .
Excluded materials .
Item proposal .
Customer/material info records .
Customer-specific data sources.
In the dynamic product proposal You can combine/exclude materials from different data sources mentioned above.
Say for example, you could combine the total of all materials in the last n-sales plus all materials in certain item proposals, but excluding those specified in the exclusion.
Dynamic Product Proposal is called /determined as soon as you enter the sold party in the order.
You can reach IMG customising steps by
IMG >SD>Basic functions>Dynamic Product Proposal .

Siddharth.

Item proposal

Dear Gurus
can any one tell me the configuration of Dynamic item proposal
Thanks in advance
Sneha Reddy

hi sneha,
In sap SD we have 2 different item proposals. One is the normal one whch is the item proposal which is done through VA51. In this normally we maintain for a particular customer a list of products with the required numbers. This you can use as a reference in the sales order for fast order creation. This you can do in IMG-sales & distribution-basic functions-item proposal. Item proposal can also be referred to as product proposal.
The second one is the dynamic product proposal which is somewhat different thing from normal item/product proposal. This is also in IMG-Sales & distribution-basic functions-dynamic product proposal. Follow all the steps mentioned in that. To explain what is dynamic item/product proposal - it is a tool in SAP SD which is used to get the customer's buying behaviour. The effect will be like this: when you enter the customer the system will display the list of items which the customer has purchased before. So if the customer has stopped buying a specific product then it can be used by the management to discuss it with that customer. The config for this you will get it in the IMG. In this you can mention that the previous sales of that customer should be taken for reference. But go through all the fiels in the Config.
For normal Item proposal follow these steps:
1. VA51- select the documnet type as MS, enter the customer number(sold to party number), then enter the required material and the required quantities. Then save it. The system will give you an internal number.
2. Go to XD02, select the required sold to party for whom you have maintained the item proposal, go to sales area data, sales. Now in sales you have a field for item proposal here you enter the number of that item proposal and then save it.
3. VA01 create the sales order. When you have entered the sold to party, the PO number , the PO date. Now on the menu bar select edit and in that PROPOSE ITEMS. Now after this the system will ask you with quantity or without quantity means if you select without quantity then the items will be displayed in the item data but you will have to enter the quantiy for each item.
I Hope I have answered your query. Please reward valuable points if solution found useful.

Settings for Item Proposal and Product Proposal

Hi Gurus,
How to do the configuration settings for Item Proposal and Product Proposal.
I also want to know what is the difference between Item Proposal and product Proposal.
Give me your Solution.

Item proposal is the list of regularly/frequently ordered items of a particular customer. this will be useful when u are entering the sales order. it will be used to speed up the order entry process.
For that Goto VA51, enter item proposal type as MS and sales area details.
enter the customer name and the list of products and save. Assign the item proposal No in the customer master sales area data, sales tab.
create the sales order and enter the customer no and press the propose items button in the sales order.
the system will propose one box and it will display all the materials. then u can continue further.
Product proposal:
To configure product proposal, Go to IMG,SD, Basic functions, Dynamic product proposal, Maintain all the settings

Difference:
Item proposal is the list of products the customer used to buy frequently.
Product proposal is also the list of products but it will explode in the sales order, once u enter the sold to party field. But this will be based on the following criterias.
Order history
Listed materials
Excluded materials
Item proposal
Customer-material info records
Customer-specific data sources

Online and background product proposal

Hi All,
Can you please explain the difference between online and backgroung product proposal, I tried searching on forum but could not find an explanatory answer. Please suggest?

Hi,
Dynamic product proposal can also be proposed based on the
Order history-it means that the materials which are most frequently ordered by the customer are considered as order history. So based on this the system will propose the product proposal,if we specify this order history in the access sequence of the product proposal procedure as a source.
Even system can propose product proposal based on listing&exclusion,item proposal,user specific source etc.but it is based on the source field in the access sequence.
In access sequence we have a function module SD_DPP_HISTORY.this fuction module helps the sysytem to search the database for the product proposal based on the source field.
You can access the data sources either online, in background processing, or using a combination of both. It is also possible to have a combination of both access techniques. If you want to access various different data sources, SAP recommend that you use background processing, in order to keep the system load as low as possible while working online.

Transction code for Product Proposal

Hi,
both are same..except some terminology difference..
On Behalf of Customer, the User can propose the items in the Sales Order. It is called Product Proposal. It works as an Order Entry tool and facilitates order entry.
To define Material Determination you should follow the below mentioned SAP Menu path.
1. To Define Customer Procedure for Product Proposal, go to IMGSales and DistributionBasic FunctionsDynamic Product Proposal Define Customer Procedure for Product Proposal
2. Define Document Procedure for Product Proposal
3. Assign Document Procedure for Product Proposal to Sales Document type
4. Define Product Proposal Procedure and determine Access Sequences
5. Maintain Procedure Determination (In Background) for Product Proposal
6.

Sales BOM per customer

This might be a strange question but still. We have a customer who ships out pallets and crates to their customers. They want to be able to track these items of course and bill the customers according to the number of items they received. N.B. these items are not returned so returnable packaging is out of the question.
We are looking at the use of a sales BOM so we can calculate the number of pallets and crates per sales order and delivery based on the number of finished products they ship out and of course create an invoice where these items are listed as part of the delivery with the actual costs. This works quite satisfactory BUT it will only work when either all customers use the sales BOM or all customers do not use the sales BOM.
What's the problem, as this is a new process, they will not be able to convince all customers to directly pay for pallets and crates that are being shipped out. We are now facing the problem that for part of the customers they want to use a sales BOM and invoice them for the pallets and crates they receive BUT for part of the customers they do not want to invoice them for the pallets and crates they receive. This means that we are looking for a way where we can indicate, per customer, whether to use a sales BOM (ship out and invoice pallets and crates) or not to use a sales BOM (do not logically ship out and invoice pallets and crates).
Is this possible yes or no? Maybe with a user exit that checks for a specific field in the customer master? We have already defined two sales BOM's per material, one where pallets and crates are used and one without pallets and crates so we could mis-use the alternative sales BOM principle, but we still need a trigger to call either sales BOM.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Roberto and Biju,
We looked at both options but neither are workable. Not all warehouses use HUM because not all warehouses are their own warehouses, some are from logistics service providers who have not SAP access, otherwise the problem would be a bit easier, plus the customer does not use packing and will not use packing in the future.
The dynamic product proposal was a bit more promising but also there, we encounter a problem because we cannot make a calculation on the number of crates and pallets shipped out to a customer, which is one of the requirements.
The problem still lies in the fact that
- Customer A does not want a bill for crates and pallets and therefore does not want to see the items on the delivery and the invoice.
- Customer B does want a bill for crates and pallets and therefore needs a calculation for the number of pallets and crates he received.
We cannot set a field somewhere that says customer A without these items, customer B with these items and then trigger something else.
Thanks for the help but we still haven't solved the problem.
