Fixed Vendor

Hello Friend
We use SRM Server5.5 with classic scenario. (SP 07)
Endusers want to change the source of supply. So endusers delete the info-record and choose the preferred vendor.
There is one info-record in MM.
Even if enduser deletes the info-record in SRM, there are fixed vendor and info-record in PR document.
But we dont want fixed vendor data in PR document.
Im not sure which data is transferred to MM to determine the source.
How to remove the fixed vendor in MM while creating PR in MM?
Our scenario:
1. Create Shopping cart
2. After approval, PR will be created in MM.
Thank you
Best regards,
SH

Hi,
In the backend, you can use the default values :
1- Spro-> Materials Management->Purchasing->Environment Data->Define Default Values for Buyers->Settings for Default Values
2- Here you can select a KEY DEFAULT VALUE (or create a new one) the go to the "source determination" tab
3- Unflag "create requisition" : If the indicator is not set, the source determination process will only be implemented at the specific request of the user." thus no automatic determination will be processed byt he system
4- Goto RFC user id (in ECC), select parameter tab and set EVO parameter with your key value "for example "01")
Kind regards,
Yann
In this step, "you assign default values that you maintained in Customizing to a user by entering the key of the default value in the user master record under the parameter ID "EVO"."

Code modification to read fixed vendor (Urgent)

Hi All,
The below code is basically selecting the fixed vendor as per EORD table for a given material - plant combination. But the issue is for this combination, there can be different fixed vendors but during different times
eg:
Mtl - A, Plant - 1000
Fixed vendor: Vendor1, From 1.1.2000 To 31.12.2003
Fixed vendor: Vendor2, From 1.1.2004 To 31.12.2007
Fixed vendor: Vendor3, From 1.1.2008 To 31.12.2010
So i want to add one more condition, which reads the system date & if the system date lies in-between 1.1.2000 to 31.12.2003, it selects vendor 1 or if the system date lies in between 1.1.2004 to 31.12.2007, then select vendor 2.
So how can i add this condition? The valid from field is EORD-VDATU & the valid to field is EORD-BDATU
Code:
CLEAR: Y_LIFNR, Y_FLIFN, WL_MATNR.
SELECT SINGLE LIFNR FLIFN MATNR FROM EORD INTO (Y_LIFNR, Y_FLIFN,
WL_MATNR)
 WHERE MATNR EQ MARC-MATNR
 AND WERKS EQ MARC-WERKS
 AND FLIFN NE ' '.
Hope my question is clear, await inputs
Vivek

Hi,
Check the below logic:
if sy-datum >= 1.1.2000 and sy-datum <= 31.12.2003.
 vendor = vendor1.
elseif sy-datum >= 1.1.2004 and sy-datum <= 31.12.2007.
 vendor = vendor2.
elseif sy-datum >= 1.1.2008 and sy-datum <= 31.12.2010.
 vendor = vendor3.
endif.
CLEAR: Y_LIFNR, Y_FLIFN, WL_MATNR.
SELECT SINGLE LIFNR FLIFN MATNR FROM EORD INTO (Y_LIFNR, Y_FLIFN,
WL_MATNR)
WHERE MATNR EQ MARC-MATNR
AND WERKS EQ MARC-WERKS
AND FLIFN NE ' '.
and lifnr = vendor
AND VDATU >= SY-DATUM
AND BDATU <= sy-datum .

Report on PO's raised for vendors other than fixed vendor

Hi
Is there any report which gives list of PO's which are raised for vendors other than fixed vendors
We are maintaining sourcelist
we need a helath report which gives list of POs in which buyer used other than fixed vendor
Thanks

hi,
In sap there is no one common report availlable for this. you want to develop a customized report for this.alternate solution is get the one time vendor list in MKVZ trx. pass the values in me1l trx where you can get the desired result.

Is it not possible to create a PR with Fixed vendor without an Info-record

Hi,
We have a requirement in which data necessary for PR(Purchase Requisition) creation ( replenishment orders ) comes from a legacy system and we use the BAPI -BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE to create the PR's.
The problem is when we try to create PR by using plant in the field fixed vendor present in Source of Supply tab, we are getting the error message, "Inforecord for Vendor xxx and material xxxx does not exist ". This message is due to the plant given in fixed vendor field and missing info records. And we always use only "plant" as fixed vendor.
Is there any way to avoid the determination of info records based on fixed vendor?
Thanks in Advance.

Changing preferred vendor to fixed vendor in SRM PO- no currency conversion

Hi All,
We are on SRM_SERVER 550, SP11, ECS scenario.
Users create carts where they enter preferred vendor.
After approval we found that the PO's were created only in "Held" Status.
So we did a conversion of the preferred vendor (PF 39) to Fixed vendor (PF 19) during PO creation using BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI- BBP_PO_CHANGE.
We also implemented BBP_GROUP_LOC_PO,GROUP_PO so that all items with same preferred vendor are grouped into a single PO.
We observed that PO is now getting created in ordered status, where the preferred vendor is getting converted to fixed vendor as per our code change. But we also found a problem- that the line item price doesnt get converted to Vendor order currency after the Po is created. For ex: If line item price is 10 GBP and Vendor order currency is EUR, the line item price in the PO shows 10 EUR. The currency conversion fro GBP to EUR does not happen.
This does not happen for catalog items/PO's where the cart comes with a fixed vendor (PF 19).
So there surely seems to be something missing in our code for converting Preferred vendor to fixed vendor which is preventing/not converting the currency as well.
Please find below the code we are using in DOC_CHANGE_BADI for PO, is there any step in this which is causing the currency conversion to be skipped?
CONSTANTS:C_FIXED_VENDOR   TYPE BBP_PDS_PARTNER-PARTNER_FCT
                       VALUE '00000019',
           C_PREFERRED_VEND TYPE BBP_PDS_PARTNER-PARTNER_FCT
                       VALUE '00000039'.
   READ TABLE ET_PARTNER INTO LS_PARTNER WITH KEY
                         P_GUID      = IS_HEADER-GUID
                         PARTNER_FCT = C_FIXED_VENDOR.
   IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
   READ TABLE ET_PARTNER INTO LS_PARTNER WITH KEY
                         P_GUID      = IS_HEADER-GUID
                         PARTNER_FCT = C_PREFERRED_VEND.
    IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
      CLEAR IDX.
      IDX = SY-TABIX.
      MOVE C_FIXED_VENDOR TO LS_PARTNER-PARTNER_FCT.
   MODIFY ET_PARTNER INDEX IDX FROM LS_PARTNER TRANSPORTING PARTNER_FCT.
   ENDIF.
   ENDIF.
Regardas,
Srivatsan

there is nothing in your code which prevents the conversion between the two currencies,
it can be the following reason
1) system as standard is not performing the conversion.
2) conversion factors are not maintained (or) conversion factors are maintained and the expiry date for the conversion factors has passed.

Fixed vendor on PR not copied to PO

Hi,
I have a third party process where the purchase requisition was automatically created with a fixed vendor which was picked up on PR because info record is maintained. No source list is maintained for this material.
When the PO was auto-created for this PR, it was created for a different vendor (with an info record marked for deletion). There is only 1 active info record for this material and it is for the vendor on the PR.
I checked and there were no changes to the PR or the PO. So why wasn't my fixed vendor copied from the PR to the PO during automatic PO creation ? And why would the PO chose an inactive info-record ?
Thanks in advance !
Alas

I wasn't expecting you to answer my issue re: workflow. I was just informing you of the steps I have to take in case others stumble on this post. You really don't have to be rude, or even respond ! And just so you know - with workflow, the auto PO flags are not considered !
Regardless- my client had custom code for how they select their vendors, regardless of the fixed vendor field on the PR. In that logic, they disregard the deletion flag of the purchase info record.

How to change Preferred Vendor to Fixed Vendor in SC - SRM-5.0

SRM Experts,
We are using SRM 5.0, ECC 6.0 and PI-7.0.
We are using classic scenario in SRM. When user selects the vendor with Outline agreement in SOS tab then SC creates PO in backend system because it has Fixed Vendor otherwise SC creates PR in the backend system.
We have a new requirement in SRM to create PO instead of PR in the backend system if Purchasing Org=5xxx and total value of SC is less than USD 5XXX and Vendor is a Preferred Vendor in the SC.
Do I need to use the Check Document BADI to check the total value of the SC and to check whether it is a Preferred Vendor and then in the Change Document BADI, change the value from Preferred Vendor to the Fixed Vendor before SC is saved?
OR someone has any other suggestions on this?
Which BADI is called first Check Document or Change Document before saving the SC?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Atul/Disha,
I sent you my code and problem in detail at your email address.
Here is the requirement for Changing Preferred Vendor to Fixed Vendor. We are on SRM 5.0 and using classic scenario. I am new to SRM world. I also checked the note- 962474 in our system and it has been applied. We upgraded to SRM 5.0 in Oct-07.
1. My client has customization for sources of supply tab. It shows the vendor information in SOS tab based Product category, Plant and Purchasing group selected in the SC. If SC contains Vendor with Outline agreement then SC creates PO in the backend system. So in Change BADI logic for new enhancement of converting Preferred vendor into Fixed Vendor should not change anything in the SC using Outline agreement.
2. We have created Custom table-zsrm_fix_vend with fields, purchasing group, company code, currency and total value.
3. We need to convert the preferred vendor into fixed vendor
 if the SCs 1st line item purchasing group = zsrm_fix_vend-ekorg and
 SCs 1st line item company code = zsrm_fix_vend-bukrs and
 SCs currency = zsrm_fix_vend-currency and
 SCs Total value less than(<)zsrm_fix_vend-totalvalue.
My testing results and problems
1. When I create a new SC with less value than totalValue from the custom table, change document BADI is changing the preferred vendor into fixed vendor and it is creating PO in the backend system. So this is working as expected.
2. When I create a new SC with greater value than totalValue from the custom table, change document BADI is NOT changing the preferred vendor into fixed vendor and it is creating PR in the backend system. So this is working as expected.
3. When I use Outline agreement in the SC, it is creating PO in the backend so change BADI logic is not affecting this existing functionality which is good.
4. Problem - When I copy a new SC from existing SC with less value than totalValue from the custom table and then changing the amount with the greater value than the custom table, change document BADI is not changing the fixed vendor to the preferred vendor and when I click on sources of supply tab - it is giving me an error Partner Function may not be Changed and it exits me to main shopping cart screen.
5. Problem - When I copy a new SC from existing SC with greater value than totalValue from the custom table and then changing the amount with the lessser value than the custom table, change document BADI is not changing the preferred vendor to the fixed vendor and when I click on sources of supply tab - it is giving me an error Partner Function may not be Changed and it exits me to main shopping cart screen.
6. When I copy the SC with Outline Agreement and change the amount it works all the time it is not affected by the change document BADI which is good.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Millions thanks to you!

Field fixed vendor for purchase requisition (component of project)

Dear all,
Could you please indicate us how we can automatic fill the field "Fixed Vendor" (FLIEF) in a purchase requisition comming from a component of an activity (of a project)?
The field "Desired Vendor" (LIFNR) is filled automatic in the purchase requisition, based on the vendor given on the activity (field: RESBD-LIFNR)...
We want that both fields (fixed and desired vendor) are filled automatic in the purchase order...
Thank you.
Best regards,
Thomas

If you have maintained source list(ME01) and "info record"(ME11) for the desired vendor and material combination. It will default as "fixed vendor" in PR. Of course when you copy PR into PO, it is going ot copy the same.

Mahendra

Why Fixed vendor is read without Souce List on MD14?

Dear Gurus,
Hi,
I am trying not to assign Fixed Vendor at MD14.
I created one Purchase Info Record for the material without source list.
And operated as below;
1. Execute MRP and Planned Order created
2. Convert Planned Order to Purchase Requisition
3. Then, Fixed Vendor is read automatically from Purchase Info Record.
When there are several purchase info record, Fixed Vendor is not assigned.
And also when PR is created via MRP, Fixed Vendor is not assigned from one Purchase Info Rec.
-> How can I avoid automatic assignment of Fixed Vendor for PR on MD14??
    Are some customization wrong??
AK

hi,
As mentioned in the note 157830, your system is working as designed.
There are however two possibilities to solve this issue :
1) In transaction ME15, flag for deletion all the related info-records,
   so that no fixed vendor is found when converting the Planned Order
   into Requisition.
2) Rewiew note 157830 which gives a solution for de-activating
   the automatic soutce determination when converting a Planned Order
   into a Requisition (in MD04 and MD14)
Hope the information helps you.
Best Regards,
Arminda Jack
