ERS Indicator in local PO

Hi,
We are in SRM7.0 ECS. We have maintained ERS indicator for supplier at supplier master data. However when the local PO is created the ERS indicator is not getting copied (i.e. it is not set). We have maintained the output strategey also. We also maintained the flag in backend.
Please advice if we need to maintain some more customisation.

Sarath

ERS does not pay on Goods Issues only on Goods Receipts
The ERS indicator MUST be set prior to the Goods Receipt or MRRL will not be able to settle. The reason for this is that when the GR is done for an ERS item the information is put on the EKRS table. The MRRL transaction uses data on the EKRS table to identify what needs to be paid. So if the ERS indicator is not set prior to the Goods Receipt the entry is not made in EKRS and therefore MRRL does not know anything about the goods receipt.

ERS indicator - Local PO

We are in the Extended Classic Scenario, PO is creating automatically.
SRM does not have any functionality of invoicing plan. When we want to do invoicing plan for the particular type of PO's .
ERS indicator should be automatically defaulted into the SRM PO line item from the SRM Vendor master (and shud flow to R/3 PO line item) when the SRM PO is being created automatically.
If this is not happening now. Previously When the vendor master in SRM had ERS checked, then system defaulted ERS in the SRM PO line item when PO was created in SRM.
Is there any relation with the GR and GRIV flags , since what we are doing , we have a custom field in the shopping cart level ( Custom GR indicator ) : When Shopping Cart custom GR indicator is checked then the PO GR indicator and GR-based IV" will also be checked from the BADI . If the Shopping Cart custom GR indicator is not checked then , we are also clearing the PO GR indicator and GR-based IV" from the BADI .
Can you please give me any pointers for this.
Seeking your help on this.
Wish you a advance happy new year.
Thank you.

Possible to Update ERS indicator on PO after Goods Receipt

He all,
We had failed to update the ERS settings in the plant data view of the vendor master purchasing data. We have about 1000 PO that were supposed to be paid through ERS but are now not invoiced. Is it possible to set the ERS Indicator after Goods Receipt?
Thanks,
Justin

You can change the Purchasing Group on the Org. Data tab in the PO header in ME22N. If you have PO release strategies they will not be reset unless PGrp is a characteristic in your release strategies and you change PGrp to a value outside of the range the strategy is using.
Also, in your system you may not be able to change the PGrp if the screen layout changes the field to display once a GR is posted. You can see this in the document type field selection or "Define Screen Layout at Document Level". If the PO release strategies are used, you may need to check the changeability setting for the Release ID.
Hope this helps.

ERS indicator of PO item is not checked for Contract assigned SRM POs.

Hi Team
We have SRM PO which is assigned to contract as source of supply and vendor for the contract document is assigned with ERS functionality (Aut. setlement in vendor master) for Invoice settlement.
Issue faced: When the contract is selected as sources of supply for Shopping cart and ordered as release order in MM (classic deployment) MM PO line ERS flag is not defaulted. Scenario works for normal procurement with vendor assigned Purchase orders.
Did any one faced similar issue in their landscape.
Regards
Prashanth K Saralaya

I think this is one of the vendor data synchronisation issue like OA vendor .
Vendor master team might change some data but in contract it will not be synched automaticaly. we may require action on CONTRACT equivalent to vendor master maintenance.
if the contract has ERS .It might be available in PO too when you refer contract.
debate come here like who takes precedence vendor master or contract ?
However customer may expect this ERS falg has to set in the contract as well as it may replicate the same in po as well.
for testing manually EDIT via ECC contract and flag ERS.

Urgetn : Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS)- Local PO

We are in Extended classic senario , while replicatiing the PO to Back end "Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS)" is not checked .
We check Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS) for the particular vendor , PO is created with that vendor . ERS indicator should be automatically defaulted into the SRM PO line item from the SRM Vendor master (and shud flow to R/3 PO line item) when the SRM PO is being created automatically.
If this is not happening.
Can anyone give me some pointers for this , to reslove this issue ..
I have also check this table BBP_PDPSET for the PO details , in this table itself this flag is not get set .
Thank you ,
Seeking your help

Hi Muthu,
Thank you your reply. Intact I have seen these indicators in SRM, and in the table also we have an entry. , But still in R/3 ERS is not getting checked.
Correct me if I wrong, how I am mapping the GR/GRbased IV /IR flags are.
We have custom indicator in the shopping cart item level.
When Shopping Cart custom GR indicator is checked then the PO GR indicator and GR-based IV" will also be checked from the BADI(BBP_DOC_CHANGE , po CHANGE METHOD ) , If Shopping Cart custom GR indicator is not checked then we are clearing the PO GR indicator and GR-based IV" indicators. Is this is the right approach, Because of this thing does the ERS indicators getting disturbed.
Thank you,

GOA distribution to R3 - Tax Code for ERS vendors

Hi all,
Having an issue with GOA distribution to R3 for evaluated receipt settlement vendors. For ERS vendors, tax code is a required field. There is not a tax code field in the GOA and this is not being passed in any iDoc segment I can find. My current tax configuration is calculate tax in backend, i have maintained tax codes I0.U1, I1 with U1 set as default. As shopping carts are transferred from R3 they are assigned U1 as expected and PO's generated in the BE from these external requirements are getting the U1 as expected. The problem is with contracts and scheduling agreements. Everything is fine unless the vendor has the ERS indicator set. Tax code becomes a required field.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've' researched SDN and everything talks about shopping carts and PO's, which is working for us. I cant find any info on the contract distribution. I've investigated the BADI's associated with tax calculation in SRM but I'm not sure these meet the requirement for ERS vendors.
Am I missing configuration? Is one of the tax badi's the way to go? Any information is appreciated.

ERS for automatic PO generated via GR

Hi all,
I am trying to do ERS for a PO which is generated automatically at the time of GR. But I am not able to do it, when i m doing ERS via MRRL, it is showing no documents found. But similarly for the same material and vendor when I manually create a PO followed by GR, I am able to do ERS.
On analysis, I found that during the automatic generation of PO at the time of GR, the EKRS table is not getting updated but at the time of manual creation of PO, the table EKRS is getting updated.
I have checked the checkboxes of the vendor master and the NO ERS checkbox is not flagged in the info record , in PO, ERS checkbox is flagged both the time. Kindly help

Then I would believe that is your problem. In the typical process when a PO already exists, the ERS indicator is set for each line item. So when the GR is performed the system knows that it should be treated as an ERS item and populates the EKRS table with the appropriate values.
In your scenario the GR is done first.... therefore the system does not know it is an ERS item for that supplier and it does not populate the EKRS table.

Sandra

ERS flag not picked automatically

hi gurus ,
we are using srm 5.0 , extended classic scenario
while creating a po in srm with ers vendor with account assignment wbs , the ers flag is not getting picked automatically.
while if i use the same vendor and use account assignment cost center , the ers flag is getting picked in the po.
so for wbs po , we are manually going to the follow -on tab in item data and ticking the ers indicator.
what could be the reason for this ? why is the ers flag not getting picked from the vendor master.

please reply !

ERS Process

Dear Friends,
I am getting error While using T code MRRL
I have did Below configuration but still i am getting errror as "ERS settlement: No message was found for partner 102317/company code 9000"
Configuration I did are:-
ERS Settings
1) Vendor Master
In the vendor master purchasing data, the relevant settings for ERS has to be maintained
2) Purchase Info Record
Ensure that No ERS indicator is not checked in the info record for the vendor, Material + Vendor + Plant + Purchase organization.
3) Purchase Order
The Settings 1) GR-Based IV and ERS are defaulted from Vendor Master and Purchase Info record. Ensure that the above settings are maintained in the Purchase order. Tax code must be maintained in the purchase order so that auto settlement considers this tax code
4)IMG settings
Define the Message type
SPRO> IMG>MM>LIV>Message determination > Maintain Message Types
Maintain Message Schemas
Maintain the message type (ERS) in the message Schemas MR0004 u2013 ERS Procedure in the following IMG path
SPRO> IMG>MM>LIV>Message determination > Maintain Message Schemas
Maintain Conditions
Create the condition record for the message type ERS in the following IMG path
SPRO> IMG>MM>LIV>Message determination > Maintain Conditions
(Transaction code u2013 MRM1) and also choose maintained Output Device in u201DCommunicationu201D.
Assign Forms and Programs
Assign the forms and programs for the message type ERS in the following IMG path. In case custom program and form is designed, same has to be assigned to the message type ERS.
If the Form is different for different medium of output, the relevant forms have to be assigned to the message type and medium.

Buit still i am getting error,What is the reason for that error.
Kindly suggest me.
I have download SAP ERS document and gone thorgh that.
Regds,
Sankar.

Hi,
The reason you are receiving this error message would be due to
incorrect customizing. Please check the output device for the condition, whether the field is empty (in the area communication). (please maintaine the output device for the company code).
Please check also the sap note:129643:
3. Invoice Verification -> Message Determination -> Maintain Conditions
   "Create Output" or "Change Output" (if it exists)
   For the output types KONS, REKL, ERS, RAP, and INS proceed as
follows:
   Select the "Company Code" key combination.
   Enter the company code, choose "Communication",
   enter an output device and save the condition record.
As a workaround,if you do not need message determination for ERS settlement, the error M8446 can be switched off in transaction OMRM.
For message M8446 issue, please kindly try the following menu path:
IMG -> Materials Management -> Logistic Invoice Verification -> Define
attributes of Systems Messages Here you can use the pull down menu and
set the message to "switch off message"

ERS- changes in PO

Hi friends,
We have a requirement where one of our supplier wants to go for Self-Billing. The problem is there are about 400 orders already raised against the vendor. Once we change it to ERS in vendor master, we have to go into every order manually to put a flag for ERS indicator. So my question is, is there any easier and quicker way to do it? If there is any standard SAP programme, it would definetly help us as we don't have any developers around.
Thanks for your quick response.
Kelly

Kelly,
What release of SAP is your company on?
I don't recall specifically about mass changes to a scheduling agreement in earlier releases. But it appears that SAP has added a few objects from ECC 6.0 onwards. Business Object BUS2013 is available in ECC 6.0 and so is a function module MASS_CHANGE_SCHED_AGREEMENT to update it and both are not available in ECC 5.0 and other lower releases. So, I would not think that someone would intentionally have removed the entries from the table.

ERS payment didn't gemerate

hello everyone,
here is the issue : user changed PO line item to ERS after goods receipt was generated, so ERS payment didn't generate for this PO line item, now what can we do to make it work?
one way I was thinking is to let vendor send the invoice so that we can do 3 way matching and pay the vendor, but I am sure system should have a way to handle it.
pls help.

Hi,
Please follow check the below settings.
01. In Vendor master ERS indicator has to be checked
02.In Purchase order ERS indicator Has to be checked
03.In SAP Customizing Implementation Guide >Materials Management>Logistics Invoice Verification-->Message Determination
Maintain Message : check all the setting are correct for ERS related message type
Maintain Conditions : Maintain condition Record for the combination you want.
Then perform the ERS settlement through the transaction MRRL
Hope this solves your problem
Thanks & Regards,
G.Sridhar

Regarding ers procedure

Hi all,
I was configured ers procedure for vendor as follows.
1. Auto ers indicator , gr based invoice indicator checked in vendor master purchasing data.
2. Maintain the info record for material and vendor combination , in this we maintain tax code.
3.for this we create a dummy po in this po we select the ers indicator, gr based invoice indicator.
4. we post gr for that po.
the problem is when we post invoce by using t code MRRL it gives the message as "No Documents for selection".
There is any further settings required to solve this problem
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
Please check in PO, whether you are getting the following check boxes activated in the invoice tab.
1. GR based Invoice Verification
2. ERS
In info record you should untick the no ers check box.

Invoice plan and ERS

Guys,
What is the difference between ERS and Invoicing plan?
Are they both same? In that case, why is the settlement done on Tcode MRRL for ERS and MRIS for Invoice plan....?
Please clarify my doubt.
Happy holidays,
Nureya

Hi ,
Please go through this below points difference between invoice plan (MRIS) and ERS (MRRL) in invoice verification process.
Use of Invoice plan in SAP MM ( Logisitic Invoice Verification )
Through the use of Invoicing Plan for leasing agreements and such like, you aims to considerably reduce the manual data entry effort in the purchasing and invoice verification (A/P) department.
The invoicing plan enables you to schedule the desired dates for the creation of invoices relating to the planned procurement of materials or services independently of the actual receipt of the goods or actual performance of the services. It lists the dates on which you wish to create and then pay the invoices.
You can have the system create the invoices automatically on the basis of the data in the purchase order, thereby triggering payment of the vendor. It is also possible to enter the invoice for an invoicing plan manually. It is recommended that the invoice shall be created via Logistics Invoice Verification ---> Automatic Settlement --->Invoicing Plan Settlement. This
transaction can also run in the background.
Following are necessary customizings and preconditions for using the Invoicing Plan functionality in SAP -
1) You must maintain the settings in Customizing for purchasing (for example, invoicing plan type, date categories, date descriptions, and date sequence proposals). The related path is IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing ---> Purchase Order ---> Invoicing Plan ......
2) The Purchasing document with FO Document Type (Framework Order) must be used. This document type requires that a validity period be entered in the PO header. This specification is adopted in the invoicing plan, provided that this has been predefined in Customizing for the relevant invoicing plan type.
3) The purchase order item must have an account assignment.
4) The Logistics Invoice Verification must be used.
5) The vendor must have agreed to use the automatic invoice creation facility (since we will use automatic settlement to create the invoice). In this case, the 'AutoEvalGRSetmtDel.' indicator must be flagged in the vendor master record.
Furthermore, once Purchase Order is created with order type FO, ensure that the indicators for GR/IR control have been set correctly on the item detail screen. The Goods Receipt indicator may only be set in combination with the Goods Receipt Non-Valuated indicator. The Invoice indicator must be set. For the automatic creation of invoices, the ERS (Evaluated Receipt Settlement) indicator must be also set. A further prerequisite for automatic settlement is that a tax code must be entered in the purchase order.

Prerequistic settings for ERS:
1. Vendor master purchasing data ( Flagged as GR-Based Inv Verification: Indicator specifying that provision has been made for goods-receipt-based invoice verification for a purchase order item or invoice item.
Auto Eval GR Settlement Delivery: specifies that evaluated receipt settlement or the automatic generation of the invoices are allowed in relation to materials supplied or services performed
Auto Eval GR Settlement Return: Specifies that automatic evaluated receipt settlement of return items is allowed.
2. Check in Info record to Ensure that No ERS indicator is not checked in the info record for the vendor, Material + Vendor + Plant + Purchase organization.
3. In PO ( Tax code maintain and Ticked GR based IV and ERS indicator )
4. Settled the invoice using MRRL
Difference between ERS and Invoice plan are :
" ERS is the automatic invoice payment settlement to our supplier like EDI payment.
Once we received the GR quantity system automatically settled the payment using ERS t.code MRRL.
" There are two types of invoice plan ( Partial and Periodic invoice plan ) - is used to settled the Rental , period based payment etc using MRIS.

Scheduling aggrement - ERS field greyout

Hi,
We want to greyout the ERS indicator box in ME31L & ME32L transaction.
This is to prevent user from modifying the ERS activation in the Sch.Aggrement, which is flowing from the vendor master.
Pl. suggest how we can make this field non-editable.
With regards,
Jeeva.

Hi,
I think there are no standard fuction to make this field non-editable.
The ERS indicater of vendor master is defalt value.
SAP can change change/create P/O stage.
Maybe you can handle exit of change/create P/O.

Local variable fail when using SIT

Dear all,
I am using SIT (Simulink Interface Toolkit) to obtain data generated by the model of Simulink. I need to use the local variable of the indicator to get the data out.
The interface with the mappings seems to work fine. The problemn is that the local variable of the waveform （this waveform is an indicater which mapped to the output signal of simulink and it can displays the signal from simulink）didn't work. I cann't obtain any data from the local variable, but the waveform which the local variable belonges to seems to work fine.
I also found an interesting thing that, when I hightlighting the execution process, the local variable seems like didn't work at all, because there is no data flows from it.
The software version is Matlab simulink R2011b, Labview 2011.
Below is a simple test model in simulink. It is a sine signal.
Below is the local variable from the waveform which mapped to the signal of simulink. To check there is any data in the local variable, I put a waveform to check.

Dataflow.
The local variable of the waveform is going to be empty to start. The writing of the local variable called Waveform to the indicator called Local Variable is going to happen right away. Only later does the waveform get any data. But by then the first part has already exectued never to be run again.
I would recommend looking at the online LabVIEW tutorials
