EDI Confirmation for Purchase Order

Hi All,
Scenario : Our vendor is located abroad. The Purchase order is transmitted to the vendor via EDI. The vendor sends a confirmation for the PO as an IDOC via EDI. The suitation we have is that there are instances where there is a miss match( Requested item doesn't match the confirmed item) between the item in the PO and the IDOC received from the vendor as confirmation. But the PO is still confirmed. Is there a method where we identify when there is a miss match in the item.
Any input on the above would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nigel

Hi Nigel,
You could control this via customizing purchasing->Confimrations->Setup confirmation using SPRO.
here ,you can specify the tolerance for price quantity and material.
The tolerances you define apply to all vendors. Using the enhancement MM06E001 provided by SAP, you can specify that the tolerances do not apply to certain vendors.
If the acknowledged quantities, prices, and dates vary from those set out in the PO or purchase agreement, the system issues a warning message. In this case, the purchasing document is not updated.

Generating Inbound delivery based on Vendor Confirmation for Purchase order

Is there a way to create Inbound deliveries based on Vendor confirmation for a purchase order.
Here is the complete scenario.
Buyer Creates the PO for qty 100 and Date August 29
Vendor Confirms that he can supply a qty of 50 for August 29 and remaining 50 for Sep15th
Based on vendor confirmation, Buyer creates 2 vendor confirmations (AB) to match with the data received from Buyer, without modifing the PO.
Requirement:
Inbound deliveries should get created based on the vendor confirmation.
As MRP looks at Inbound delivery for Planning purposes once they are available, Inbound delivery should match with vendor confirmation data.
Is it possible to get this requirement met with standard config available in SAP.

could you eventually get the answer from the docu Set Up Confirmation Control

Problem in triggerring EDI idoc for Purchase order..

Hi experts,
I am trying to create an outbound EDI IDOC for a PO.
I have configured the partner profile in partner type LI with message type ORDERS in outbound parameters. I have created a new output type ZEDI for EDI, and entered in a message control, as application EF, message type ZEDI and process code ME10.
But when i go to the me23n and goto--> messages, but when i click F4 for output type i am not able to see the new output type ZEDI i have created.
And if i also enter NEU with medium EDI, and Partner function VN, and partner 3000(where i configured the parnter profiles), its giving an error as, "maintain outgoing EDI-connection data for partner 3000".
Kindly help me out. please experts reply me..

Hi
<b>In the transaction NACE</b>
you need to maintain the necessary 'Z' output type, in your case.
Hope this will help.

Debugging EDI output (IDOC creation) for purchase order...

Hi,
We have a EDI output type defined for Purchase order. When I go to Messages tab in ME22N transaction and repeat the EDI output and save it, it creates a IDOC which I can see using transaction WE02.
Now the problem is there is a user exit which I know gets triggered, when the IDOC is created for this PO. When we do some changes in this user exit, I see those changes are reflected when new IDOC is created. But if I put breakpoint, and do repeat output -> save, the debugger does not stop there.
Is there is some technique I can see the breakpoint stoppage in user exit for IDOC creation during EDI output for Purchase order ?
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi
Youc can set the output Peridoically (After Giving the output type, set the furthere data as periodic).
Save.
Set the break point in your user exit.
Go to se 38 -> Run RSNAST00,
Give the object id (Your PO #)
Give the output type and execute, the control will stop at break point.

BAPI for Purchase Order Confirmation and update EKES table

Hi all,
I have a requirement to update the PO confirmation soon after successful creation of PO in an IDOC.
I have used BAPI_PO_CHANGE function module which didnt serve the purpose as it cannot update confirmations.
I tried using ME_CONFIRMATION_UPDATE where I was able to add a confirmation entry in EKES table but that is not being reflected in ME23N transaction when I display the PO.
Please help me out on this.
Thanks & Regards
Pavan

NB: Never use a standard update FM (check attributes of ME_CONFIRMATION_UPDATE) its often only a SQL statement collector without any check, logging of changes or database consistency, if you perform a where-used you should find it is never called alone but with a bunch of other update FM after checks and other update preparation.
Get back to the BAPI and table parameter POCONFIRMATION, also use BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1 to get current data for the call of BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
Regards,
Raymond
PS: If it is not in 197958 - BAPIs for purchase orders: Missing functions, you should be able to do it

Fast change for confirmation in Purchase Order

Hi experts,
We are entering line item wise confirmation in purchase order. It is taking time . We want that we do enter " Confirmation " for 1st Line item and then thru Fast Change it can be copied to all.
We tried it. The space provided in fast change is only 04 characters. We write CONF instead of confirmation and then press fast change icon. Word CONF copied to all line items but it not supporting the other things which we have to enter in confirmation box for eg : Order Acknowledgement / Inbound delivery.
We have reduced the word confirmation to conf in customizing also via spro>MM>purchasing>confirmation >set up confirmation control but still it is not supporting the other thing we have to enter in confirmation box for eg : Order Acknowledgement / Inbound delivery.
I think we are missing some part of customization. Please suggest.

To send IDOC to vendor from SAP for purchasing order

Hi Gurus,
I want to setpu an EDI for send the outbound & inbound idocs to vendor for purchasing order from SAP and below are the message type I am using:
Outbound message type :
ORDERS
Inbound message type :
ORDRSP
INVOIC
I know how to set up the link, making the partner profiles attaching the process code, assigning the ports but I want to know the below customize set up:
1) Which transaction I need to used for customize this sceranio
2) Could you provide me any documentation which specifies the steps for configuration
And other details which I am suppose to know.
Please reply me as soon as possible as I am urgently in need of this.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi Sagar
For the Confirmation you need to do the customizing for confirmation control, like what would you like to do after the confirmation. Confirmation is an inbound process.
For Invoice you need to complete the customizing under LIV in SPRO- for Invoices received via EDI.
Please go throught the help link for further details.

PO 'No goods receipt possible for purchase order'

Hi gurus!
While trying to make Confirmation of a PO in the SRM Portal the user is getting the error 'No goods receipt possible for purchase order'
The scenario used is Classic, so PO is replicated directly to the R/3 system.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks a lot!

Hi, thanks for the quick reply!
Where i can check the Item category?
I found a field called 'subitem category' but it's blank
with this possible values:
1 Variant
2 Discount in kind: inclusive bonus qty.
3 Empties
4 Discount in kind: exclusive bonus qty.
5 Prepack item
6 Display item
7 Set item
8 Interchangeable items (IBU: A&D)
9 Pre-packing (SLS items)
H GT Bill of Material, Header Relevant
I GT Bill of Material, Item Relevant
About PO type i think it's EC (doc_type?), in R/3 is shown as EBP PO
I checked in backend system, in the item details > Delivery and the 'Goods Receipt' is checked.

Error:-document is in transfer for purchase order..creation is not possible

Hello,
While doing confirmation of PO I am getting this error, saying "document is in transfer for purchase order..creation is not possible".
can anyone please suggest me solution on this type of error?

Hi,
Is the PO in ORDERED status? Is there any confirmation posted for this PO which might be stuck (idoc failed to reach back end)?
If it is a case of idoc failure, then reprocess the idoc and then do the next confirmation.

No goods receipt possible for purchase order 'PO#" "Lineitem"

Hi gurus,
Please help on below error.
While doing return to vendor transaction using BAPI 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' error 'No goods receipt possible for purchase order 'PO#" "Lineitem"' was encountered. As checked, all data are correct including the plant, sloc, PO#, stocks, batch.
Please kindly advice on how to resolve the issue.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Few things which immediately comes to my mind.
1. Check if the PO is released?
2. Check if the confirmation control is properly set in Confirmations tab of item details of a PO.
3. Check if the Goods Receipt indicator is ticked at item level of PO.
I hope these helps.
Kind Regards,
Prakash

Goods Receipt after Completion Confirmation for Service Order

Hi,
We have a scenario in which a Notification is used to create a Sales Order & a Service Order using the action button.
The Sales Order has a old/used product as a line item which we will consume along with some other new parts(added in the components tab in Service Order) to make a remanufactured product which we will obtain after using IW42 for Completion Confirmation. (The Service order is to carry the cost of refabrication/refurburishment & additional parts as well)
We need to do Goods receipt of this remanufactured product to bring it into stock so that we can deliver the same using the same sales order.
Is this possible? We have tried using Refurbishment order both CS/PM but have not been successful in inwarding the remanufactured product using IW8W.
Kindly do suggest possibility of using a Service Order(created through a notification) with a GR feature for the above process of inwarding. Any alternate suggestions would also be very helpful.
If this functionality can be achieved with some enhancement(custom exit, BADI etc) & some amongst you have worked on something similar , please do share your valuable inputs
Thanks & Best Wishes
Vishal

Hi
I dont think you will be able to do Goods receipt against prodcution order using inbound delivery VL31N. Inbound deliveries are normally created for Purchase orders and then GR can be posted wrt to the inbound delivery.
Prod order is normally within warehouse only so you can use MB31 and post GR directly against Prod order.
If you can explain more about your scenario hope we may help
Please let us know
thanks

Problem in using output type for purchase order

Hi experts,
I am using output type for first time so may be i have done wrong configuration for po output type.The steps i have done are :-
1) Going to tcode NACE->Selected the row u201CEF Purchase Orderu201D and clicked on u201CProcedures".
2) In procedures there are 2 procedures for the application EF (Purchase Order). To proceed further, we would need to find out the procedure that is currently active.Gone to transaction SPRO. In this, navigate as Materials management -> Purchasing ->Messages -> Output control -> Message Determination Schemas ->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order
3) Clicking on u201CAssign Schema to Purchase Orderu201D. So, the procedure RMBEF1 is active for EF (Purchase Order) .
4) Go back to transaction NACE. Select u2018EFu2019 and click on u201COutput typesu201D.
5) Let us use the output type u201CNEU name purchase orderu201D for this purpose. Double-click on NEU.
6) Ensured that the checkboxes u201CAccess to conditionsu201D and u201Cmultiple issuingu201D are checked and the access sequence is 0001(DocType/PurchOrg/Vendor).Only 0001 and 0002 is available in f4 help for this.
7) Now clicked on u201CProcessing Routinesu201D on the left hand side. Ensured that there is an entry for Medium u2018Au2019 (Distribution ALE).
8) After that going back to the main screen of NACE. Select EF (Purchase Order) and clicked on u201CCondition Recordsu201D.
Select NEU and clicked on u201CCondition recordsu201D. The pop-up box appears that gives three radio button option :-
1) Purchasing output determination :purchasing org / vendor for EDI
2) Purchasing output determination :doc. type / purchasing org /vendor
3) Purchasing output determination :document type
but it is not having option only for purchasing organisation through which we can send idoc for changes or creation of PO in that particular pur.org now if i choose 2) i have to give doc type and purchasing org both bcoz they are mandatory fields and value for vendor.
9) Also i have done the necessary ALE configuration (not covered in this document). In the partner profiles, use the message type u201CORDERSu201D and the IDOC type u201CORDERS05u201D.In the tab u201CMessage Controlu201D, used the process codes u201CME10u201D and u201CME11u201D for u201CPO Createu201D and u201CPO Changeu201D respectively.
but the idoc is not generated many times when po is changed and when once it is generated it is giving error
Please suggest solution.
Thanks in advance
nehavt

In me22n in messages tab after looking into processing log it is giving->No recipient found for message type ORDCHG in the

error passing data to port(could not find code page for receiving system)

Document is in transfer for purchase order.Creation not possible

Dear All,
We did partial confirmation in EBP and later when trying to do confiramtion for the remaining quantiy getting the message"document is in transfer for purchase order.Creation not possible"
We are taking this problem in production as well as in quality systems also.
What are possible reason and how to solve it.
kindly share your views.
Thank you.

Hi yshu,
use tcode bd87 in SRM to check for failed confirmation IDOC (type MBGMCR).
The double click the status record to see the exact cause of the failure.
Rectify the error. Then try to execute the IDOC from BD87 tcode.
For a few errors you may not be able to execute the IDOC but to create a new confirmation in SRM. In such cases, follow the below procedure..
There should be an entry for the confirmation in the transfer table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB in SRM. Display the details.
Then run FM "BBP_DELETE_FROM_DOCUMENT_TAB" to delete the entry from the doc tab table.
Then post a new confirmation in SRM.
There is also a FM in SRM using which you can change the status of thefailed IDOC from 51 to 68 or 31.
Rgds,
MJ

Confirmation of purchase order in ICH (supplier view)

I am new to SCM / ICH and am trying to confirm a purchase order in the ICH - this is from within Purchase Order Collaboration - Supplier View. When I attempt to confirm the PO item an extra schedule line is shown with status 'CONF', however when I save the PO I get the message 'Enter a valid Ship To Partner'. I am assuming that this is because the customer field in the PO header is blank. The data was transferred in SCM from ECC via XI using a standard scenario (Purchase_Order_Processing) and mapping.
Does anyone know whether this is the correct way to confirm a purchase order in ICH?
Also, how can I ensure that the 'customer' field contains a value?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I am also new in SCM ICH, but may be there is no transportation line defined for this material.
Call transaction /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1 in your ICH-System or select menu Inventory Collaboration Hub - Master Data - Transportation Lane.
Create a product-specific transportation line.
I am not sure, if it's neccessary to transfer the PO once more before confirming.
