Empties Processing in Purchasing

Hi all,
I have a peculiar requirement for empties.
I am buying Gas in cylinder...
It come in Cylinders which must at some point in time be returned back to vendor after using it.
I have created an empties Material, and one full product material.
Both are relevant to Quanitity and value update.
I created a Production BOM, Empties BOM for both of them.
But when i am raising a Purchsae Order, the BOM is not getting exploded.. and Quantity of Empty Packaging is not getting updated when i do a GR for GAS.
Please suggest me.. how can we tackle this scenario.
It very urgent.. a promt reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Bonjour Fabrice,
When I input the Milk material in the puchase order, the full product (bottle) is not added automatically
I believe the full product is the milk material itself, the bottle is an empty.
I think the "empty" material also needs a structure category as empty, I know it is possible and useful, but not sure it is mandatory.
Did you add the "empty" material types in customizing as empties?
Your message is now 1 month old, did you solve your problems already?
BTW we have the MM empty solution working at a Customer site, so it definitely works and provide Logistics integration for empties.
Regards,
Franck

  • Empties Processing -IS Retail

    Hi
    I had created a Article as Full product with Material Type "VOLL" and two empties articles with Material Type "LGUT". In Full product (Basic Data view) i had activated "with empties BOM".
    While creating Purchase Order, when i entered the full product, automatically the two components had exploded but the Return item is not activated for the Empties material.
    Can any one please tell, what customising to be done  so that automatically Return item to be activated for Empties articles when i enter Full product the Purchase Order.
    Regards,
    Bala

    Hi Sakthi,
    Actually, i done as per the Empties processing Building Block, as per the BPPs:
    Process Flow is:
    Step 1: Assigin empties articles to Full products as component in Basic Data View in Article Master Record (T.code:MM42)
    Step 2: Create Purchase order for full product to External Vendor, automatically the componenets has be to exploded with Return item active. (only components will be marked as Return Active)
    Step 3: Goods Receipt from Vendor to DC.
    Step 4: Stock Transport Order from DC to Store. ( Here also, components will be activated as Return Item)
    Step 5: Goods Receipt in Store
    Step 6: Return the empties articles (component) to DC. (T.Code: MB01 )
    In my case, since the Return Item is not activated for components in Purchaser order or STO, i not able to return the empties in T.Code:MB01
    If, required please give ur mail id, i will send the BPP document for Empties Processing to you id.
    Thanks

  • Error while deploying empty process

    Hi
    I have made an empty process which includes all the xsd's of the system. When i am trying to deploy the process it's getting errored out saying empty partnerlink bindings.
    we have made this process so that any system would access this process for xsd's

  • Third Party Business Process Within Purchasing /IM(Without SD)

    Hi Friends,
    We are planning to implement third party order process within Purchasing to procure the office stationary materials for the business.
    The problem here is how to deal with the materials returns to supplier after original invoice is processed?.
    1. Requisition created
    2. PO created in 30-Jan-2007
    3. Material supplied and Goods Receipt done. in 31-Jan
    4. Vendor submits invoice to Payable section and Invoice also processed
        till 31st Jan-07
    5. Now user would like to return the materials to vendor for wrong material or poor quality on <b>1st Feb</b>. Since invoice is already processed... how to account this returns in next invoice payment is the question.
    I tried looking for the above business scenario(material returns) in various places, but no luck. Appreciate, if you could give me pdf relevant to above process or suggest possible solution.
    Regards
    KK

    Hi Stev,
    Many thanks for your prompt response. I do agree that this process should be done through normal PR/PO with account assignment for direct consumption's.
    In my view,  Third party through SD will have more advantage in billing the customer apart from vendor invoice. Without SD, we can still take the advantage of third Party process, in terns of user address management(mandatory) in the PR and analysis point of view. Conceptually they do serve the purpose more or less same within Purchasing without SD.
    The problem here in the both the process is invoice processing, as huge amount of PR/PO will be raised for low value items ranging from $10 to $300. Vendor will be submitting the consolidated invoice by weekly or monthly. Since MIRO only provides PO creation date and not GR/Movements Posting date in the selection criteria, it would be quite difficult to include the GR reversals/returns, after the original invoice processed for the order created in previous period. Moreover, this will increase the workload on Accounts payables in entering invoices for small amount.
    The above is the situation for explained case.
    1. Invoice Processed for the Pur.Orders created in Jan-07(One inv against many po's)
    2. Reversals/Returns of material taken place on 1st -Feb for the same order which is created and paid in Jan.
    Only solution I could think of is to enable ERS and generate invoice GR based. This would cater for Invoice processing and credit memo for reversals/returns.
    However, appreciate, if you could share your expertise to overcome the issue and give your valuable comments on the process.

  • Printing persons authorised to process the purchase order

    dear friends,
                        my requirement is I have to print all the names of persons who involved in purchase order processing i.e. we have some hairarcy to process the purchase order like jr. manager ,sr. manager, AGM, GM based on the worth of that PO. I have to print the names of all above managers at the bottom of PO. plz help me.
    regards,
    Srinivas.

    Hi Faheem,
       Thanks very much for your help. Your idea really works, but other problem occurs if we use this idea. If we issue an error message in EXIT_SAPMM06E_013 to prevent PO from being holding, all the PO data ( include header and items etc,) are cleared by program.
    At last, we negotiated with users and take a non-program step to prevent the PO from being hoding.
    Thanks.

    You want to write a review about Mountain Lion? I'm not sure that you can write about the OS at the app store - it's not an app. Or are you talking about the online Apple store? If you want to send feedback to Apple, you could use this:

  • Process of purchasing subscription reloads HTML banner in the library tab.

    Hi there!
    Finally I finished my first HTML banner for the library tab.
    I have a collection of banners with different types:
    - subscribe
    - buy/download issue
    - itunes link
    - go to another tab
    - watch video fullscreen
    etc.
    Everything works fine. Only one problem - during process of purchasing subscription my banner reloads four times:
    - after "Sign In" dialog > Use Existing Apple ID
    - before "Confirm Your Subscription" dialog
    - after confirmation (or cancelation)
    - and after "Share Your Information" dialog, there I finally got adobeDPS.receiptService.newReceiptsAvailableSignal.
    Is this normal behavior?
    Thank you!

    The behavior you describe is consistent with other DPS apps.

  • Routing and Externally Process and Purchase requisition

    Dear Experts
    I try to set routing with External processing.
    I have 2 questions.
    I would really appreciate you, if you could answer my questions.
    I still have not understood the relationship between "Control key" and "Purchase Order"
    The routing is like below
    10 self manufacturing
    20 External Processing with the control key is pp02
    30 self manufacturing
    In case I set "+"  (Externally processed operation)   for "External Processing" in "pp02", the Purchase Requisition will be created.
    However in case I set "X"  (Internally processed operation / Externally processed operation)  for "External Processing" in "pp02", the Purchase Requisition will not be created.
    My question is in case I set "X" for "External Processing" for Control key, how can I create Purchase Requisition?
    Should I create Purchase Requisition manually?
    In case I set task 20 as External Processing.
    What kind of Work center should I regist for task20?
    Is it dummy work center or is empty OK?
    Best Regards

    Dear,
    When you maintain external processing in your control key PP02 and the system will create a purchase requisition when you release the production order. For that particular external processing operation you need to maintain the purchasing group and info record details in the external processing tab in routing.
    Please refer my reply from this link,
    Re: Control key for external process operation & internal.

  • Idoc Error    Empty Schedule Agreement  Purchasing Group Assnmt.

    Dear Experts,
      We have a job running, automatic sending Schedule Agreements' Line Items out through EDI
      But some Schedule Agreements' field Purchasing Group is empty, Idocs created on these SAs are wrong
      Idoc have wrong data filled in the Control Records, and segements are empy, status is set 26 in outbound process
      because Idocs have wrong data, it is also very hard to trace
      why ...
      pls help ..

    Using SU53 Immediately after Error will tell you what authorization is exactly missing. Send the screen shot to your BASIS team who normally incharge of giving authorization.
    If you have authorization for SU22, check what authorization objects SAP check within that Tcode and check whether those object and appropriate authorization for them is maintained in any one role / profile assinged.
