External Procurement Scenario - External Range for GOA in Sourcing Cockpit

Hi all,
I'm a question for you about Sorcing Cockpit.
I have the following scenario (SRM 5.0 - ECC 6.0):
1) PR created on ECC and trasnferred to SRM in SOCO
2) SC converted into a GOA and distributed to back end system
I want to allow Buyer, that use SOCO, to assign an external number to the contract (GOA) when convert SC into it.
TX in advance.
Bye.
Marco

Hi Marco,
I am not sure understanding your question.
Do you want to create a GOA in SRM based on the moved PR?
This is possible and working fine. What is the background of your
requirement using an external number range for GOA? Is that your
requirement?
Cheers,
Claudia

ECC - SRM - External Procurement Scenario

Hi SRM Gurus,
I have to transfer Purchase requisitions from SAP ECC 6.0 to SAP SRM 5.0
the account assignment of these Purchase requisitions is "U", but it makes the purchase requisitions not to be written in the table EPRTRANS, in addiction there are no BAdIs or custome exit available in which I can insert some code to resolve the problem, the only one Customer Exit (BBPK0001) is not called if account assigment category on PR is Unknown.
Do you have any ideas to help us?
TX in advance.
Bye

Hi
PDS (plan Driven scenario ) is not mandatory.. It depends on the requirements.

Can anyone tell me if the function "procurement of external staff" is only for the local scenario, or can it be used with the classic scenario also?
Thanks

Hi Paul,
Procurment for external staff is only used for local scneario....i think it may possible through classic scenario but not as standard...sap will do extra charge for consulting....

External number range for storage units

I have been trying to set this up without success.
1. If I set up an external number range and assign it, then the system tells me to set up an internal number range.
2. If I set up an internal number range the system does not allow manual input (external assignment from internal number range not allowed).
I have allowed internal and external assignment for the warehouse.
This is the error that I get when trying scenario 2.
"External assignment of numbers from an internal number range not allowed
Message no. L3212
Diagnosis
The external storage unit number to be issued is in an internal number range.
Procedure
Unlike other applications, external number ranges in the WM system are not explicitly defined. Instead, they are taken from the unused numbers in the internal number ranges when the "Issue type" switch in the Customizing application allows external numbers to be issued for the warehouse number."
So does this saying that external number assignment is not possible? Or is it saying that I have to use internal range even for external numbering? What is the solution?

Please have a look at OSS note no. 14881.
Best regards,
Christiane Schnellenbach

MRP - Create Planned Orders only for Externally Procured Materials

Dear All,
We have a scenario that our client gives us the daily requirement schedule for the current month and a monthly forecast for future months so that we can plan our externally procured materials based on the forecast.
Now I only want the MRP run to create Planned Orders for HALB and FERT based on my current months daily schedule and planned orders for ROH (Externally Procured) based on the next months forecast (monthly).
I dont want the system to create planned orders for HALB and FERT from the forecast. The requirement for the ROH are however derived from the Finished Good BOM and the forecast is also given for the FERT material. I know its a long shot but is there a possibility in the system to do such a thing or a work around?

Your business case is not clear; MRP will create planned orders for inhouse produced materials, and either planned orders or purchase requisitions for external procurement.
You can choose to convert or release external procurement for a long time ahead (eventhough taht if you have proper lead times defined you can release by lead time), but convert inhouse planned orders to production orders only for next period (week, month). Actually this is common practice.
So I fail to understand your problem.

For Externally Procured Materials (ex - ROH) - SG's are maintained or not?

Hello
Do I need to maintain SG's ( like SG10, 40, 70) for ROH as these are externally procured?
As I see since ROH are externally procured, no need to maintain the SG (10, 40, 70,etc) in MRP 3 view of the ROH* material master as SG's (10, 40, 70)* are meant for maintianing PIRS & PIRs means it is inhouse production
Iam not limiting myself to SG's (10,40, 70) for ROH, instead any SG need not be maintained for ROH (externally procured)
If I want to see that ROH materials get consumed by the FERT then maintain SG 40/70 for the FERT/HALB (inhouse production) that should consume the ROH (externally procured)
Questions:
Q.For externally procured materials do I need to maintain the SG?
Q. If no need to maintain SG's for externally procured materials then what fields do I need to maintain to see that externally procured material which are used in the finished product gets consumed by sales orders?
Please clarify
Thank You

Pradeep
Thank you for your reply & time
If the component is semifinished & is externally procured, then following settings needs to be maintained
Procurement Type : F
Special Procurement Key : 30 (subcontracting)
But Subcontracting(30) is used when we want semifinshed product to be manufactured outside the company from a raw material issued by the company
& control key we maintain is PP02
In above scenario, then we go for subcontracting or else we need not maintain the subcontracting
Please clarify
In your answer (" u have to set Individual/coll = 1 or blank at MRR of Down level material.")
what does MRR stand for

Schdelung for externally procured material.

Dear Gurus,
We have defined planned delivery time for externally procured material. After MRP run system is generating delivery dates for that.
We want if there is capacity constraint at supplier's end then how to handle this issue in MRP run.
Example -
PR generated after MRP run for XXX material code for 5000 kg and required date is 15/06/2009.
Supplier's manufacturing capaicty of this material is 500/day i.e. from today he will be produced only 3500kg.
In case shop floor plan will not executed due to shortage of supplies.
How to map this scenario in SAP so that MRP controller will come know that the said material will not be available on required date and he will have plan some thing else during that period.
Regards,
Abhay

Have you tried with Lot SIze Data in MRP 1 view
you can give 500 in Maximum Lot Size
and lot size as per your business need for example 7 days no split quota something like that
After MRP run, your planner can see the next material expected availablity and plan the production
otherwise, if company permits for surplus inventory , then keep some buffer as Safety stock and plan accordingly

Purchase Requisition are not getting generated for External Procured Materi

Hello PP Guru,
The is a issue which the client is facing.
The requirement is as follows
There is material which is externally procured.
They do the MRP run by using MDBT.
Now the problem is Planned orders are getiing generated instead of Purchase requisition.
It should always generate PR instead of planned Order.
When the check in ME57 the PR is not reflecting, but when the check in MD16 the planned orders are getting reflected.
Every time they have to convert the Planned order to Purchase Requisition in MD16.
So can you please let me know as to why is this problem.
Thanks & Regards
Nilesh

In the variant which you use in MDBT, modify the value for Create purchase req. to 1. Now if you execute MRP with the new / modified variant system will always trigger PR irrespective of the opening period.
But if you want PR within opening period & outside of it should be planned orders, then maintain 2.

Set up std. price for proc.type F parts (External Procurement)

Experts,
what is the comon way to set up Std. price for materials with Proc.Type F (External procurement). Current I am using KKPAN and set cost out of PIR and material burden as seperate line.
Looking for a way to have the material burden as fixed value in the system which I can use as base for calculation.
Thanks in advance
Jörg

Dear ,
For any FG material you should have Standard Price (S) in Cost2 view getting updated thrugh CK24 after ck11n done during production process .
For any Externally procured item , you should have MAP or Planned price with Valdidty .Generally duing planned cost estimaiton , planned price will be considered while you will do good issue agianst production order , systm will consider the MAP to calcualte the cost of the material .
Now to update the price you should carry out MR21 with new price for company code , validdity date , price control indicator and valution variant .
Generally in project scinario , you can use MAP for FG material .

Kanban process for external procurement

We want to use the external procurement process for replenishment of stock with Kanbans. So if we turn on the external procurement, it makes us create a scheduling agreement and link it to the kanban. The process is that when you scan the kanban EMPTY it creates a PR and then you can convert the PR to a PO.
However, the users want to make this process less cumbersome. They want to have an external kanban but have a blanket PO. So when the kanban is set to EMPTY they want an output to generate to the vendor to replenish stock. And once stock is received (101 movement) against that PO they want the kanban to automatically change to FULL. Or they want it so that once they receive the stock manually, they go to scan the kanban FULL and it receives the PO for them (101 movement).
I read the SAP documentation and it appears I can have a PO against this external kanban but I canu2019t figure out how to set this up.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I am not getting clearly.Please explain the requirement in detail
Actually the external procurement cycle works as
1) in the control select the replenishment strategy like
   A)Working with purchase orders.
   B)Working with purchase Requisition.
   C)Working with scheduling agreements.
Select as per the customer requirement.
2) Then once you make bin EMPTY then system automatically creates PO or PR or schedule line.
3) Once you do the GR against the PO or schedule line manually then bin status changes to FULL automatically or make
   manually bin FULL then GR against the PO happens automatically. It's Vice versa .
Explain your problem in details.

Vijay

Capacity Planning for External Procurement Material

Hi, I have the following requirements.
MRP Scheduling is getting executed material level (material no, plant) with scheduling type 2 which means lead time scheduling using MD02 Transaction Code. This is works fine for the Inhouse Product. In order to achieve lead time the functional team has maintained the necessary routing/workcenter configs.
The business needs the same functionality "Capacity requirements calculation" for the external procurement material. Business is willing to maintain routing/workcenter config.
Currently standard program (MD02) is not considering the Capacity planning for the external Procurement material.
Could you please suggest is it can be controlled through programming.
Kindly suggest the function modules for Capacity Planning - materialwise, plantwise.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Giri

Hi Giri
I think the requirement is not mentioned clearly. Capacity is required only if the material is assembled/produced in house.
Anyway try this. Set the Procurement type to X in the MRP views in material master. You might have to define your custom material type so that it does not force the procurement type to F. Try the feature called "Quota arrangement". The idea is to define the material in such a way that it can be procured externally or produced in house. With quota arrangement you can say what % has to be bought and what % to be produced in house. If it is produced in house then you can have capacity requirements.

Pragnesh

MRP planning for external procurement

Dear all,
How do i make my system, upon MRP, trigger a purchasing requisition for external procurement of a external 3rd-party vendor?
How to setup this in the system and master data?
thanks,
tuffy

Dear Tuffy,
For all the externally procured items,maintain the procurement type as F in MRP2 view.
Maintain Purchase Info record for the material and vendor combination in ME11 and then assign the vendor for the material,plant
combination in the source list in ME01.
In this case the Purchase Info Record should be created for standard Info Record.
In the case of sub-contracting assign the procurement type as F and special procurement value as 30 in the MRP 2 view of the
material master and create Subc-ntracting Purchase Info Record in ME11 and assign the vendor in source list in ME01and source
list usage as 2 in both the cases.
The above sub-contracting is assembly sub-contracting process.
Check and revert

Planning for externally procured products

Hi!
Most of our products are planning strategy 52 (Planning without final assembly). We are considering changing some of our products to be externally procured, however the business wants the planning logic to stay the same - do not order unless there is a sales order.
Any ideas ???
THANKS !!
Dianne

Strategy 20 in my manufactuing plant - no luck because planning strategy 20 is standard MTO.
"The planned orders for the finished products are correctly "non-convetable" if the original warehouse does not have a sales order. " What about tried some strategy like 72? I'm not sure can 72 work for FG but i'm very 72 can work for SFG because i used before. Else you need to check how's the strategy 72 & customize it one by yourself.
"However, they also do not want to order the raw material UNTIL there is a Production Order, not a Planned Order."
This is very easy , you not create the planned order for the purchasing department , until they firm the production order only the purchasing department buy the raw material , but you do need consider the lead time for raw material delivery.
Unless there's huge safty stock to cover.
Hope can close your issue.
Thank you.
