External Vendor capacity

Here is some background on the last attempt of doing External vendor capacity evaluation in R/3 - 3.1.
<i>I have been loading independent demand into MD61 and created various planning scenarios in MS31. From there I ran the MRP on MS01. We developed two customized transactions ZVCAP and ZCAP. ZVCAP allows the user to load vendor capacities into monthly buckets. The fields that one is suppose to load is the vendor, capacity type (Available, Tooled, and Contracted), part number, year, and monthly capacities. ZCAP is a customized report that compares the capacities in ZVCAP against the dependent component requirements from transaction MD61.</i>
<b>Is there similar tools in standard R/3 v. 4.6 that can make this comparison?</b>

Hi Guy,
As per my understanding, capacity requirements check is only possible against the receipt elements not againts the issues like independent requirements or dependent requirements.
You can use CM07 /CM38 transaction. Once you have develop the Zreports then why do you again standard reports?

GR/IR Account - one for internal vendor and another for external vendors

Hi Experts,
Can I have two GR/IR accounts - one for internal vendors and another for external vendors? Please let me know.
Thank you.
with regards,
Muthu Ganapathy.

Hi Muthu,
GR/IR accounts are not dependent on Vendors, they are dependent on Materials, to be precise on Plant/Valclass.
You can post to 2 different GR/IR accounts if you set up 2 different classes. then it is possible.
For setting up the same. Go to T.code : OBYC, Transaction : WRX.
Here Setup different GR/IR accounts per val.class.
Letme know if you need further info
Thanks

The problem is encountered when we try to open the file from external vendor.

We are using Adobe illustrator CS3 with Patch 13.0.2. in MAC PC with OS 10.4.11. We tried to open the file generated from external vendor. This file is made by CS4/CS5 & downgraded to CS3 because we are using different version of CS package.
When we try to open such as file. It takes some time to open it. But after a while, the application illustrator has unexpectedly quit & crash report is generated. Any expert can help to look at the problem.

Just a bad file.
No telling what specifically may be the issue without seeing the original file as compaired to the CS3 file.

Vendor capacity check when creating PO

Hello Friends.
We have a business process situation where we would like to check Vendor capacity at time of creating PO (NB) for raw materials to ensure that we do not place POs for more than Vendor capacity.
Ideally it would be great if there is any way to check all open PO qty and compare with Vendor capacity at time of placing PO - converting PR to PO or direct PO creation.
We are in ECC 6.00.
Appreciates your comments/suggestions.
Thanks,

Thanks all for your comments but option for contract will not work in our case and here is the reason.
We want to make sure that we do not have open PO qty more than what Vendor can supply at any point of time. Business reason is sometimes there is surge in finished goods demand and MRP will create new PRs for raw materials and planners will keep converting these PRs to PO withouth knowing how much open qty already Vendor has to supply. So if we have somewhere a check point in system where it checks and warn if open PO qty is more than particular limit set somewhere for example, PIR etc.
Please comment.
Thanks in advance - vbhai

Stock Transport order with Freight Charges- Payable to an external vendor

Hello
we are implementing the stock transport order between two plants in SAP 4.7. The document type is UB and it has to be a two step process. We need to post the Freight Charges as well. The freight Provider is external vendor.
What is the best way of configuring this scenario for freight cost?
I did put the freight forearder vendor code on the conditiond tab detail of condition tyep FRA1 but can't do the invoice verification for the same.
Any tips are appreciated.

Hello,
This EhP4 feature addresses only the one step Stock Transport Order to subcontracting vendor for intra company.
Does anybody know how to do a two steps Stock Transport Order to subcontracting vendor for intra company?
By "two steps" I mean:
1- Goods Issue from supplying plant A to in-transit stock of the subcontracting vendor at receiving plant B.
2- Inbound Delivery Notification (IDN) at receiving plant B + Goods receipt against this IDN into the subcontracting stock at receiving plant B.
Thanks and regards,

Production order usage for external vendors

Hi Guys,
I am working on a scenario where the company is orderiing to manufacture from external vendors involving different stages. There is no material sent to the vendor and the vendor manufactures the first stage and sends to next vendor, there are four stages involved.
We are planning to use production order for the purpose and 4 operations thorugh which 4 purchase orders will be sent to four vendors and services or materials will be posted. I am just thinking how the final GR for finished product will be posted to the inventory. The requirement is track the cost at each stage...
Please let me know of your thoughts on this...
Thanks and regards,
Sid

Hi
I dont think you will have any issues with the tracking of the cost and GR of the finished product.
You have 4 operations each resulting into a PO for different Vendors each component/service of the opertaion will be received against each PO that you might have issued and so will be the cost collected actual cost for each operation.
Final GR can be posted for the header material against the Production order. I would request you to complete a full scenario and review it with your FI/CO team for any issues. I dont think you will have any.
Please let us know if you need any more info
Thanks

External Vendor number conversion - purchase order IDocs

Hi,
I am specifying requirements to create purchase orders via IDoc type PORDCR direct from an external SRM system. The vendor masters references in the source system are different to the ones in R/3 therefore conversion is required.
Is there any std SAP table similar to EDPAR in sales, which can be used to convert external vendor codes in purchasing?
So far I can only see that EDPAR is relevant for sales order processing, not purchase order processing. If there is no standard conversion table available for this function I assume the conversion must be done from within the integration tool?
Many Thanks

Thanks - however the EDPAR table will not accept a vendor or logical system to be entered into the 'customer' field. It does a check to ensure the record is in KNA1 therefore I wanted to see if anybody had used this table to convert vendor codes in purchasing
do you know the names of these function modules?

Reconcile amounts paid to external vendor for Travel bookings

All,
We are implementing travel expenses in SAP. Employees can use an external provider for booking flight reservations. This external vendor invoices the company for these expenses on a weekly basis. After the trip is undertaken, the employee enters the expenses. How do we reconcile the money that has been paid to the travel agency and the trips expeenses.
scenario
Step 1 - Employee calls up travel agency and books flight ticket to, say, California. The cost of ticket is 1000 Dollars.
Step 2 - Employee undertakes the trip.
Step 3 - Employee enter the trip expenses. They enter the flight costs that have already been paid by the company as expense type "flght paid" and the difference amounts are paid to the employee.
"Flight paid" - 1000
Hotel - 500
The employee is paid 500 dollars through FI.
Now the task of travel administrators is to check whether the amounts invoiced by the travel agencey match the amounts entered by the employees. They also want to ensure that employees mistakenly or intentionall do not enter the receipt type as "Flight" insead of "Flight Paid" when they are filling the travel expenses. What is the best way to handle this reconcilation issyes in travel management.
Appreciate any inputs on this issue.
regards
Sam

Hello Sam,
There are 2 options I could see here:
1) In the release you can customise in table V_T706S_RECEIPT on which the User cannot use the Expense Type "Flight" per.
2) You can use the User Exit EXIT_SAPMP56T_003. In this case it check the data before the user save the trip.

1099's for external vendors

We have a set of external vendors that are NOT set up in SAP. Is there a way to create a 1099 form for these vendors using S_P00_07000134, but without setting them up as a vendor in SAP? Is there a user exit (or something) that could capture this non-SAP vendor information before it is sent to the smartform?

Hi Leslie,
I also had the same requirement like few tax amount for a particular vendor is present in SAP and the remaining entries are present in the legacy system and we are asked to combine both the tax amounts from the SAP and the legacy syatem and disply in the 1099 form and i solved it. I am giving you the steps i took to solve it.
1). Each SAP vendor (LIFNR) is linked with a legacy vendor(ALTKN) in table LFB1. Check for which SAP vendor your legacy vendor is linked.
2). Create a custom table which has the key fields as SAP_LIFNR, LEG_LIFNR, WITHT and two other fields WT_WITHCD and the amount field.
3). Now copy the Smartform which is used to the "Z" smartform. Inside which you can add the logic to display the legacy vendor details along with the Standard SAP vendor details.
and also change the configuration of the smartform to the transaction using spro as shown in the screen shot.

Confirmation by the external vendor: attaching document?

Dear experts,
We are on an SRM 5.0 classic scenario.
We want to use the vendor role SAP_EC_BBP_VENDOR to give the external vendors the opportunity to confirm goods. One of the requirements is that they need to be able to attach documents. However, when using the transaction for the confirmation BBPCF01, we do not see any 'documents' tab. Is it possible to make this available?
Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,
It's already there i can see in my system.
Hope you have done role assignment for your vendor user" SAP_EC_BBP_VENDOR" once you login with vendor id then left hand side you can see" enter delivery/service" click that now you can click details button thee you find document button. if you couldn't find then let me know.
if it is solved then points please

Material Modification external vendor

Dear Experts,
Please render advise,
Scenario: One of our client is to modify its material from external vendor. However only particular material is supplied without components. The additional component(s) is used on this particular material by the vendor itself and then modified material is delivered back to the our client along with the additional services and component charges on invoice.
How this scenario is going to be catered in SAP?
Thanks in advance!

This will be a subcontracting scenario even though you dont send the material to vendor and vendor buys its own material.
You can raise a PO with two line items or may be create two PO's.
1. 1st line item will be for the material that will be procured by the vendor and in the delivery address tab tick SC vendor with vendor code as as ordering vendor since in your case its same. Create the PO for the component which will be directly supplied to sub contractor.( it can be same PO with different line items or different po)
2. 2nd line item will be for material that will be received back by you as value addition. The Sub contracting PO has to be created with all the child components including the which will be directly delivered from other vendor.
3. When the 101 O goods receipt document is created through MIGO for the direct delivery material, the Sub contracting challans has to be created for the sub contractor. In case cenvat also has to be received you will have to DO GR with not excise entry else you will have problem in reconciallation of challan. And if there is a cenvatable credit available for the 101 O goods then it has to be availed through J1IEX with EWPO method.
4. God goods received for the line item 2

Suggestion on exposing ECC 6 Prod WebGUI for external vendors!

Hi,
Our requirement is provide access to few transactions of our Production ECC 6 (EhP4) to external vendors and currently there are no Portal business package for these transactions. Re-development of these transactions could take a long time because of the complexity involved.
What I would like to know is what is the general practice and recommended approach in such scenarios:
- Provide access to these transactions directly via ITS (WebGUI) using HTTPS protocol then by removing all toolbars and strict authorization roles assignment for the external users then secure it via Reverse Proxy using any Web Dispatcher?
- Or create Web Applications (using BSP or WD4A) for each transaction and provide access through external portal?
I would really like to know what's the best practice and recommended approach in such scenarios? And is exposing production ITS WebGUI as explained above safe?
Thanks and Regards,

Hello Shrinivas,
If you are concerned about Security, then you can review the article "Security in SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS) Landscapes" availble [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70362efc-d911-2a10-5794-9470fca27a10?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true].

Idocs are not reaching to midleware or external Vendor

Hi Everyone,
We are sending delivery forecast idocs through a customising transaction, the idoc status is 12 but it does not reached to midleware or external vendor. When we create a new idoc through test tool(WE19) by copying the above idoc(which was created by customising transaction), its reaching midleware and vendor. Could you please tell, whats going wrong with the idocs which were created through customising program/transaction.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards
Raghu

sorry, no ideas at the moment.
You are using the same IDoc (which is in Status 12) and process it with WE19 and it´s working ?
Go to your IDoc Monitor.
OPen both IDocs and go to the STATUS Information.
Open all Status Data and read through longtext and Details, maybe you can locate it there.
